Liquor's shop LIQUOR: Dear dad, I have spent over 10 years and $94,000 putting together my mosquito costume, Transition from exterior to interior of Liquor's shop. LIQUOR(cont'd): and now I am pleased to announce that I have... become a mosquito. My costume is quite realistic, and I have even attached bladders to LIQUOR(cont'd): the nose things, so I can suck up liquids when I puncture them... with my nose thing. I could be buzzing all around you on a hot LIQUOR(cont'd): summer day, and you wouldn't even recognize me as your son-child. You would just think, "Get away, mosquito." LIQUOR(cont'd): From my point of view, you would be 3,000 dads because of the way I've designed the eyeballs. I'd be saying, "Dad, it's me. Dad it's me," LIQUOR(cont'd): but you wouldn't be able to understand my language because of its buzzing. I am also into plastics now, and I am making plastic tubes LIQUOR(cont'd): that you can suck liquids through, kind of like my mosquito nose, but used for different reasons. Hope you're doing well at camp. LIQUOR(cont'd): See you soon, Mos, Mosq, Mosquito, Mosquitor? Mosqui, Mosquithing... I don't know who that is. ext. Shark's office. Mouse is holding a CD.

MOUSE: No. SHARK: Cause, uh, I've always kinda wanted to be in a band. MOUSE: No way. What do you play? SHARK: I play, uh, I play with minds. Shhhhh.... Go home and think about that.
