SOMA | The Meme Dump

You’re following a box? A friggin' box?!

CLEANER

The box is more rational than most people.

LEVON

What if it’s wrong?

CLEANER

There is no wrong answer!

LEVON

Why??

CLEANER

The machine draws maps in arbitrary directions. As long as the business monopolies follow the directions faithfully, the maps works.

They could lead to flying cars or a return to horse travel! Economic value of the destination is subjective.

Levon watches his vintage clock radio fly through the air and disappear into the fire pit. The thunderous entrance music of Bret

“Hitman” Hart plays for a few more seconds then melts into a hissing electronic noise.

LEVON

Tell that guy to stop!

CLEANER

It isn’t your property anymore! Look, in some other universe, maybe Central Computer makes a different decision.

LEVON

I was born in the wrong universe...

CLEANER

Unfortunately, we don’t get to pick! Come along now. I'll escort you to the gate.
