*Backstage at PWS: Apex, we cut to the house of the Squid Man. He’s sitting at his kitchen table, looking outside longingly at the birds. Suddenly, he gets an idea, pointing his hand up in brilliance! Getting up from the table, he runs, like a squid, outside his door, where the camera cuts to him walking down his driveway, then down the street, a bounce in his step. People wave at him and he waves back, even tipping his hat, which he’s wearing for some reason, at a random woman who winks at him in return.*
*The Squid-Man arrives at a store called “Birdhouses and Other Things”. Walking inside, he walks past the “other things” section and heads right over to the birdhouse section. He peruses the selection, looking through the Birdmaster 4000, the Woodenator, The “Wake Me Up When SeptemBirdhouse”, but finally he goes with the Birdmaster 5000. It’s in a box, relatively thin, but he checks the back to see that it’s a DIY birdhouse, and these are just the parts to it.*
*Walking up to the counter, the cashier begins making small talk.*
Cashier: Ah, looking to do some construction, huh?
*Squid-Man nods.*
Cashier: Very nice! The birdmaster series is very popular, it’ll give your birds a nice home!
*He nods again, giving a thumbs-up.*
Cashier: That’ll be 15 dollars.
*Putting the money on the table, he takes the bag and walks out like a squid.*
*Stepping out the door, The Squid-Man steps out onto the sidewalk, walking along as before, with some pep and some vigor. He stops to pat a child on the head. Once he gets home, he puts the box on the table, taking it out of the bag and opening the box. He pours the pieces out onto the table, starting to assemble them. He realizes he needs glue and gets up to get glue. Once he’s got the wood glue from the other room, he starts putting the pieces together again, this time carefully and intricately putting them in place and then gluing them down.*
*After another few minutes of watching him build the birdhouse in real time, The Squid-Man’s finally ready to put the roof on. He puts some glue on the roof of the bird house, gently lowering it onto the rest of the ensemble. He looks at the assembled piece, proud of the work he did, and leaves, walking off-camera. There’s a jump-cut to the next day like in a YouTube video, and when he comes back he tests to make sure everything is solid, and then once he knows it is, he takes the birdhouse to the sliding door and slides it open enough for him to get through.*
*Once he’s in his backyard, the Squid-Man walks over to his family’s tree (squid-tree) and looks for the correct branch onto which to place the birdhouse. He notices a bird land on one of the branches and makes his decision based on that. As soon as the bird flies away, Squid-Man hangs the birdhouse on the branch it had been standing on. A few birds immediately fly to it. Squid-Man nods and gives a thumbs-up towards the camera.*
Squid-Man: I am a squid.
