Kimbrough and McMurtry stand outside a fast food restaurant on a busy sidewalk downtown. Cars are rushing past. Pedestrians walk past the stationary men hurriedly.
McMurtry: Saw on the TV last night there was a criminal super duck causing all kinds of mayhem and destruction in town.
Kimbrough: Our town?
McMurtry: It was a fictional town.
Kimbrough: Fictional duck?
McMurtry: Fictional duck.
Kimbrough: Interesting.
McMurtry: Exactly. What kind of criminal duck wouldn't be super-powered? And! What kind of super-powered duck wouldn't be driven to a life of crime?
Kimbrough: You're saying there's a 100% chance this duck exists already.
McMurtry: There's simply no other option. But what's really scary is that the actual super criminal duck...in a metaphorical sense of course...the actual villainous mega-duck...is society.
