SOMA | The Meme Dump

Nick yells with his mouth full.

NICK

You're a hit, brother love! A hit, you golden goose cock sucker! We did it!

LEVON

Did what?

Nick gags.

NICK

Sorry! I'm full of flesh! Ha! Ha!

CLEANER

He's just getting the call now? HQ has totally dropped the ball on this, Iso. We’re not supposed to be handling personnel.

Iso photographs Levon's rotten treehouse ladder. She thumbs at the exposed nails.

ISO

Has everyone had their tetanus booster?

CLEANER

We don’t have the tools or the time to take him into custody!

The Cleaner looks at his phone.

CLEANER

Why am I doomed to live in a universe of myopia, LeoNard?

On screen, LeoNard shrugs.

NICK

You're a hit kid! A hit! Hit! Hit!

Nick stabs at the meat platter as he talks. Levon pulls the hammock 57

off himself.

LEVON

The Memething liked the Soma?

NICK

Yes. My search is successful! Galactus has chosen you!

LEVON

How much money did we get?

NICK

Big cash! Enough paper to thatch the roof of your portapotty, you fucking eccentric!

LEVON

That’s wild!

NICK

Fucking legendary! Your stock appreciated 6000% in an hour. Oh, this song! Turn this song up! This song is for you, Levon.

Nick begins screaming along to the death metal in the background.

NICK

CONQUEST! CONQUEST! CONQUEST!

The Cleaner fumbles with a thick pile of yellow MemeTradebranded stickers. He signs a sticker and attaches it to the outside of the treehouse. He attaches another to the ladder and yet another to the floor of the treehouse.

CLEANER

Pardon my reach.

The Cleaner sticks a yellow tag to Levon’s wall. The stickers read, PROPERTY of MEMETRADE INC.
