The scene is of a cold winter day. A blue and pink semi truck is pulling up outside a pub with the sign "The Pilcrow - a public house" on it. The squirrel is getting out of the truck, which is being driven by Eric Meyer.
Thanks for the ride, Eric.
No problem.
The squirrel enter the pub. It appears warm and inviting inside by comparison to the outdoors. Ethan Marcotte and Dan Cederholm are sitting at a table together with a couple of drinks. Ethan is reading from a book and Dan has a pink basketball.
"Tell me about the South," said Shreve McCannon. "What do they do there? How do they live there? Why do they? ...Tell me one more thing. Why do you hate the South?"
The squirrel steps up to the bar. Elliot Jay Stocks is there, quietly drinking with a long scarf on. A large crow is behind the bar, serving the drinks.
One, please.
It will take at least three minutes to settle before you can drink it.
That's just perfect.
The scene shifts to elsewhere in the bar to watch Jeremy Keith as he plays music on his bouzouki.
Three minutes later.
There is a loud crash as the semi that Eric Meyer was driving crashes through the wall by the bar.
Sorry about that. I'm still learning.
Your drink is ready.
Thanks.
