INT. TRAVEL AGENCY - DAY

We are close up on strange man with antennae (he's the 
travel agent).

                    TRAVEL AGENT
          So, you want to go to Mazatlan, eh?

Pull back to reveal back of client's head.  The client 
is a woman wearing a smock, sitting across a small desk 
from the agent.

                    CLIENT
          No, no, that wasn't it at all.  I 
          want to go to Dubuque.  To see my 
          mother.  Remember?

A woman with antennae enters carrying a tray on which is 
a single small espresso cup with a bubbling green liquid 
in it.

                    TRAVEL AGENT
          Ah, yes, of course, of course.  Say, 
          would you like something to drink, a 
          small refreshment, hmmm?

                    CLIENT
          Ehhhh... what is that, exactly?

                    TRAVEL AGENT
          Why it's, uh, COFFEE, yes, COFFEE.

                    CLIENT
          I don't drink coffee.

                    TRAVEL AGENT
          It's decaf.

                    CLIENT
          No, no.  I don't drink COFFEE.  No 
          thank you.

                    TRAVEL AGENT
          How about something else?

                    CLIENT
          Um... do you have any orange juice?

The agent motions to the woman with the tray.  She 
exits.

                    TRAVEL AGENT
          Now then, let's see, the next plane 
          to Mazatlan leaves in--

                    CLIENT
          No, Dubuque!

                    TRAVEL AGENT
          What?  Oh, all right, if you insist.

The woman returns carrying the same tray with the exact 
same cup of bubbling green liquid.  She sets the cup 
down in front of the CLIENT.

                    CLIENT
          What's this?

                    TRAVEL AGENT
          It's orange juice.

                    CLIENT
          Isn't orange juice usually, well, 
          orange?

                    TRAVEL AGENT
          It's ORGANIC.

                    CLIENT
          Oh, I see.

Client sips the green liquid and drops the cup, making a 
large green stain on the smock she's wearing.  She snaps 
into a trance-like state.

                    TRAVEL AGENT
          (grinning even broader)
          Now then, where were we?

                    CLIENT
          Maa Zaat Laan.
