• Cal: "Have a good Halloween?" Skip, holding his bag and looking grumpy: "No! I just got a bunch of candy!"
    • Cal: "What's wrong with candy?" Skip: "Watch." He holds a piece of candy out in front of him.
    • Zoom out. The piece of candy falls from Skip's paws in the tree, and bounces harmlessly of a passing student's head with a little "bop!" The student looks confused but undisturbed.
    • Skip, grumpy: "See? No 'CLUNK'!" Cal: "Oh."
