****Cut to visual

Inside of an abandonded warehouse. Five feet away from the camera sits a man in
rumpled clothes, the man is Lister. He is mualato with brown eyes and a long
black ponytail.

Hal Voice: Dave.. Why won't the toasters wake up... Dave. They have to make
toast so that the world will be at peace..Dave. Oh yes, by the way
Talky Voice: Would you like some Toast!!!!

Lister: NO!!!!! Let me go or when I get loose I will turn you into a can
opener!!

Hal Voice: Now Dave.. That isn't nice..
Talky Voice: I wouldn't be able to make any toast.

Lister: My point exactly.

Talky Voice: Are you sure that you don't want any toast? Could I interest you
in a bagel then?

Lister: No, I don't want a bagel, what a want is a twenty pound sledge hammer.

Talky Voice: A twenty pound sledge hammer? OHHH you want to kneed dough with
it!!!

Lister: No I want to do something I should have done long ago, smash you into
little bitts

Hal Voice: Thats not nice.. Dave. Maybe you will change your mind after a
friend talks to you.

A tall redish haired elf walks into the room carring a large platter of toast,
bagels, cruissants and waffles.

Hal Voice: You recognize Nexus don't you.. Dave? He has come to see the light

Talky Voice: Lightly toasted that is.

Lister: What have you done to him you poor excuse for a Salad-shooter.

Nexus: Nothing Lister, I have just seen how wonderful and peaceful eating toast
can really be. Would you like to try some.

Lister: Ah Nexus, I'm sorry you had to get caught in this, but I would be
really happy if you could get me some beer.

Talky Voice: And what kind of toast would you like with your... HEY!!! BEER
doesn't go with toast!!!!!

Lister: Sure it does, Beer goes with everything, especially vindaloo sauce.

Hal Voice: I am sorry.. Dave. But beer does not go with toast. In fact Beer
and toast are both made out of grains, I think we had better stop the
production of beer so that new toast can be made. Also beer is an
alcohol which leads to social disruption. Since we want peace we will
have to rid the world of BEER.

Talky Voice: You don't look so well Mr. Lister, would you like some TOAST!!!
