McMoosington and the radiation detector are walking along a city street. The Dean, El Ardillo Fuerte, follows close behind, but just barely out of camera view.

McMoosington: Why are we going back to the university?

Detector: Because the nanognomes stole the beehive.

McMoosington: And that's a sort of talking pie?

Detector: No, they're atomic-scale robots capable of --

McMoosington: (interrupting) A what-scale what now?

Detector: *sigh* Teensy-tiny men.

McMoosington: With tiny hats.

Detector: Right.

The Dean has now moved into camera view. He is holding a piece of pie and singing. McMoosington is looking back at him with concern.

Dean: Oooo tidings of comfort and pie, comfort and pie!

McMoosington: And why is the Dean singing Christmas carols with the pie?

Detector: I don't know, McMoosington. I just don't know.
