Radio Script Version

SFX: Boxes rattling, fluorescent hum.

BILL:
Hey, Ralphie! We still got that bag of gold stars we use on the orphanage birthday cards?

RALPHIE:
Bad news — we’re outta gold stars. But we got a whole box of black holes. You want five?

BILL:
No… just one ought to do.

SFX: A cosmic *whooomp*.

BILL:
Move over Roach Motel — and make room for ChatGPT, where your deepest thoughts go in… but never come out.

RALPHIE:
Should I put that on the reorder list?

BILL:
Nah. It’ll reorder itself.
