SOMA | The Meme Dump

As if summoned, the MemeTrade van hurtles out of a side street and runs over Levon. He's thrown to the ground and his head bounces off the pavement. Nearby, parade fans look on horrified.

MOVER

Oh, shit! We hit him!

CLEANER

Mongoose! Mongoose!

The barely conscious Levon has a hallucination of the classic wrestling three count. “One! Two! Three! Ding! Ding!”

The Cleaner jumps out of the van beside himself with worry.

Concerned bystanders begin to shout and take pictures of him, Levon and the MemeTrade van.

CLEANER

Help me get him off the street!

ISO

Everyone clear the area, please! We’re professionals.

The Cleaner scoops Levon.

CLEANER

You know how much trouble I’m going to be in because of you?

This isn’t my job!

Bright red blood begins to stream down Levon’s forehead. The Cleaner tries to hide it under Levon’s long hair. Iso sheiks.

ISO

Oh! Ray, cooties!

A concerned citizen pushes the Cleaner away from Levon’s body.

Levon falls back down like a sack of wet laundry.
