Episode #3: “Dolphins Make The Best Burgers”
EXT. LAGOON, HUNTINGTON BEACH – DAY
A large crowd of onlookers has gathered by the water to watch the activity of a dolphin stranded in the lagoon.
PANTS is selling fish tacos out of a Food Truck for “Yummy’s Fish Tacos”.
A YOUNG MOTHER with her son stares at PANTS.
PANTS
Fish Taco?
YOUNG MOTHER
Of course not. That’s so insensitive.
PANTS
Oh, this is insensitive. But dragging your kid down here to gawk at the most embarrassing moment of poor Flipper’s life is your idea of compassion? Think the ASPCA would have anything to say about the psychological trauma you’re inflicting on a dolphin? And how many human being’s did you cut off in traffic in your rush to be one of the first ones here to hug a fish.
YOUNG MOTHER
I notice it hasn’t kept you from coming down here.
PANTS
Hey, I’m hoping all the commotion gives Flipper a heart attack. Ahi tacos are good but dolphins make the best burgers.
YOUNG MOTHER’S SON starts bawling.
