(Rio's Big Adventure!: Take Fifteen ,Auxiliary Scene One Hundred Sixty Seven.)
(A choir of people sit there in a darkened room.)
Choir- "What is desire?
Choir- "Why do we desire?
Choir- "Some people go their whole lives without desiring a thing, but want the world. Others desire but don't want."
Someone unseen- "Why is that?"
Someone unseen- "What do you think is the difference between the two?"
All-"Will to take action."
(CUT!)

(Static)
A scene cuts in.
Rio's on his knees.
Someone's… standing over him.
The camera zooms in to get a closer look, and the thing snaps its head to look at it.
And it's, why it's Captain Cereal!
He helps Rio to his feet with a smile and a "The battle against evil is tough but do you know what's tougher? The battle against hunger in worlds like Som-87 and Yem-58. That's why…
(The channel changes.)
(Stat..)
(Two men stand in a shed, with a table with a body in between them.)
"SH*T!" The rabbit yelled completely uncharacteristically for him. "The ritual. It failed."
"So what are we going to do?" The man in shadow asked. "I don't know." The rabbit replied dejectedly. "I GAVE UP EVERYTHING FOR THIS! FOR THIS ONE CHANCE!" He yelled slamming his fist into the old wooden table.
The house shook taking the blows from the bad wolf.
The rabbit trembled. "The… there's another option."
"What is it."
Silence.
"HOCUS! WHAT IS IT?"
He sighed "It is theoretically possible to just take…"

(St….)
"-ust because he's not from this world doesn't give you the right to run him over with a truck and send him to another world! He's part of an intelligent species is he not? How dare you- he says pointing at the late show host- support this show by letting them run their ads!"
The crowd clearly displeased with this "hot take" jeered and booed the kook.
"Now wait a minute." Said the late show host. "This man is entitled to his opinion. Is he not?" His glued on smile shone raident covering all in his light.
"Max, is that your name?" Max nodded.
"Now Mac what proof do you have that Rio was run over on purpose?"
Max opened his mouth to reply but before he could speak…
"Matter of fact can you prove that he's intelligent? A dog can learn to speak, does that make it intelligent? According to science Maj, what makes a being intelligent?"
Max shunk in his seat, wilting. "It's blood and heritage."
"And if you consider those two factors, what is Rio considered?
You can barely hear Max now.
"Uni.. Unintelligent."
"Good job Mia! Now I'm afraid we have to go to a commercial break, but we will be back with Mar after the break!"
The camera zooms out with the kook named m-something put in his place.
Just before the show fades away one voice could be heard above the storm.
"The unremarkable defending the unintelligent!"
The crowd's laughter fades into a basic jingle.
"You know what I need after a long day?"
(Hey, didn't i tell you to turn this TV off?)
"A nice refreshing drink. And the best drink, and the drink of Rio's choice is Bizzaro Coke. With our new flavor Half-Blood Strawberry, we'll be sure to drive you insane."
(I will mom! Just let the show finish!)
"Remember kids if it's not bizarre, it's a no-go!"
(No, it's getting late and you have school tomorrow! Now turn it off and go to bed.)
The voice revs and speeds up. "Bizzaro Coke and the Coke-Sea Corporation is not to be held liable if you or someone you know goes mad. There is no proven correlation between Bizzaro Coke and madness.
(Alright.)
There is also no correlation between Coke-Sea and an other well known knock-off name-

"Hocus. Do it."
"But… the cost. Think of what you'd be doing to a human. A soul. I couldn't look my children in the eyes if I…
"DOES IT LOOK LIKE THIS IS EAZY FOR ME? Have you forgotten rabbit…" uttering the word like it's a slur. "what you signed? I don't give a FUCK if this means you have to gouge out your eyes if it means you get this done, Peter Rabbit!
"$&@"
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME…"
