have an idea
for this scene?
Kid (as narrator, not participating in the actual scene)
After The Human asked this question, the Algorithm decides to go to another place. With lots of opportunities for the lost and lonely souls.
music starts: Pop up disco music (during the whole scene we hear the pop-up disco music)
Pop up disco music
ballet starts: Pop up disco choreo
Pop-up dancers are standing in a line, from front to back, so they block each other.
Like a sequence of matadors pulling away the clothes for the bulls, the pop-ups are removed row by row.
The Algorithm is all excited and pulls the human forward.
Algorithm You gotta love this. You have to see this!
The pop-ups start dancing, The Algorithm joins.
The pop-ups engage with the human, super nice and friendly but pushy. All tempting him/her. And all with their own style/dance moves. Lifting their skirts/boas.
Pop-up 1 Come, dance with me, I’ll make you rich!
Pop-up 2 You want to meet some nice girls?
Pop-up 3 Let’s get outta here and go to the Bahamas…
Pop-up 4 Hey you! Wanna know how three men escaped a cave using a rubber duck?
Pop-up 5 You wanna know how to make a girl squirt?
Algorithm is excited, tries to get the human to go see something further down.
Algorithm Just relax! Pick something you like!
Human gets overwhelmed by all the pop-ups tempting/harassing them.
Human Oh wow, it’s really crowded in here!
The Algorithm urges forward.
Algorithm Yeah, isn’t it great?!
Wild dance party (music gets louder). The Algorithm and The Human dance their heads off until they’re tired and are ready to go to the after in a lounge bar.
Human tries to say things to The Algorithm but we don’t hear what it is. The Algorithm just says ‘yeah’ and stuff like that and pulls Human’s arm up to make them dance more.
The pop-ups approach more aggressively as they try to leave.
Pop-up 1 Are you sure you want to leave? You won’t be able to lose some belly fat if you leave now…
Pop-up 2 If you leave now you’ll miss a great deal!
Pop-up 3 The Algorithm is asking you to confirm to leave.
Pop-up 4 Before you go, you should check out…
The Human looks for the exit.
They stumble upon a row of doors. Each with a number on them. [These seem random, but are in fact different http-status codes. Nerdy inside joke]: 200, 400,401,402,403, 404.
They desperately call out to the algorithm and to the server how to get outta there, as they try different ones.
KEEPER 401 = SKETCHY BOUNCER [not authorized] Hey punk, who gave you permission to be here? Give me the password or get the fuck outta here.
KEEPER 402 = [payed entrance] TEMPTING Hey honey, wanna come in? I’ll make a nice price for you, come on in, I’ll be just with you in a sec.
Door 403 [forbidden] = locked. [or opens and quickly closes again as there is obviously something they shouldn’t see]
Door 404 [opens into an alley of empty pubs]
Next: Alley of Empty Pubs
