bringing out the atom bomb cake
placing the atom bomb cake
atom bomb cake
fetching the ladder
placing the ladder beside the atom bomb cake
directing from the dumpster bunker
into the dumpster bunker
re-emerging from the dumpster bunker...
pointing in the direction to ride...
...as the music plays
diging into their suitcases, and removing brick skins
tossing brick skins
tossing their brick skins
with a brick skin
peeling skins from their bricks
droping the three bricks on the atom bomb cake
atom bomb cake is destroyed by the three bricks
all devour the atom bomb cake
riding off and in pursuit
placing the wound board on his back
wearing the wound board
launching darts at the wound board
baptism in the milk pool
kneeling beside the milk pool
submerging themselves in the milk pool
blissful in the milk pool
making sure he is baptized
in the milk pool, fully
removing the sacred object from the milk pool
directing the sacred object toward the audience
