SOMA | The Meme Dump

LEVON

Caterpillar?

NICK

Yes! Listen, I went and did a presumptuous thing.

LEVON

Okay.

NICK

I've already made a few inquiries. I've been hyping you to Central Computer! It's loving the idea of indie psychedelics and urban shamans! Both ideas got good viral scores in our market simulations.

Our clients have been snatching up the rights to all the neotribal shit they can! We’re positioned perfectly to monetize the trend! It even loved your wrestling tshirt. What was that guy’s name again?

LEVON

Killer Kowalski. What's the story with this Central Computer? You talk to it?

NICK

Mostly through my assistant, LeoNard. Central Computer is a statistical analyzer, so she's kind of a tight ass. It's hilarious to hear her rhyme off a list of shit that's trending well in the market simulations. She doesn’t know what any of it is. LeoNard, do your impression of the MemeTrade CP.

A computerized voice speaks through Nick’s stereo speakers.

LEONARD

70's Tits and 99 Cent Creampies have exceeded estimates. We encourage clients to buy.

NICK

Ha! Did you hear that, Master Shaman? LeoNard’s a card.
