Scene: Berkeley Bowl. Checkout line. A girl runs up to her two friends to join them in conversation. Judy points at three very indestructible-looking orange-slice-shaped brown wrinkly things in a bag. Judy: What is THAT? Robert: Yeah, what are those? Ramon: You mean you both haven’t seen these before? They’re brazil nuts! Robert picks up the bag of brazil nuts and pokes one, delicately. Ramon: They’re difficult to open. Robert: Then how do you open them? Ramon: With a nutcracker. Robert (perplexed): Oh. Ramon: Sweetie, that’s what nutcrackers are for. Robert: I’ve never actually seen anyone use a nutcracker. Judy: Me neither! Robert: Except in the ballet. Ramon: Now’s your chance! Judy: But you have to use them like this. Judy mimes holding a nutcracker and does really bad fake pirouettes, flouncing about the checkout line for slightly longer than is neccessary. Ramon: Congratulations, Judy. You are a gay man. Robert (reaching over to give Judy a hug): Welcome! Ramon: We probably have more estrogen than you. Robert: Especially after this Luna bar.

Scene: Judy’s house. Judy: I’ll be ready to go in a sec. Judy turns to her computer, shuts it down, and turns back around to find Ramon and Robert wearing their penguin finger puppets. Ramon’s finger puppet (to Robert’s finger puppet): We’re the bad idea penguins. Robert’s finger puppet (to Ramon’s finger puppet): Just one more drink! Ramon’s finger puppet (to Robert’s finger puppet): It’s only vodka! Robert’s finger puppet (to Ramon’s finger puppet): You don’t have to get up in the morning! Ramon (to Judy): We’re really gay.

Scene: Ramon’s house. Judy: And then we’ll be marrying dogs. Robert: One can hope! Ramon (pouting hardcore): Have a good life with Stuart Little*.

*Stuart Little is the name of an absurdly cute white fluffy puppy that some of Robert’s friends belong to. Robert is in love with him.
