	SCENE 1	Mr. Hooper and Willy get into an argument about which of them makes the best hamburger. They get a second opinion from Gordon, who prefers Mr. Hooper's burgers, but Luis says that he likes Willy's burgers better. Susan is able to split the difference, as she likes both kinds.

When they hear silence, Oscar explains that the footage is of his worm Slimey sleeping in a bucket of dirt at nighttime. Oscar prepares them for the best part: the monolithic closing titles, set to the tune of "Also sprach Zarathustra."
