December 20, 1968

Venice Beach, CA

On a bright and sunny evening, two people are walking down the beach. A human-looking woman and a circular globe. They are film studio mascots for Columbia Pictures and Universal Pictures. Their names are Columbia and Carl. Both spend the evening playing at the boardwalk playing games and watching surfers. "That was so much fun! Don't you agree?", Columbia says while laughing. "Yeah.", agrees Carl. "So what do you want to do tomorrow?", asks Carl. "Well...", Columbia nervously replies. Carl's round face turns to concern. "Corporate wants me to move.", Columbia says, forlornly. "Well, not too far. I-I hope.", Carl anxiously responds. "To Warner Bros. Jack wants me to move in because I'm not made of money.", Columbia says, sarcastically. "So, a few days. We can still call. Of course we're going to Leo's 50th come '74.", Carl optimistically replies. "Uh... yeah. Sure. Just... no more of this.", Columbia says, sadly. "What?", Carl responds, seemingly defeated. "Yeah... I'm going tomorrow morning. Gotta pack up the place and... stuff." Columbia and Carl walk away in opposite directions. The sky has darkened to night. As soon as Columbia walks back into Columbia Pictures, she finds a frenzy of employees scrambling to pack everything. "Columbia!", angrily shouts her boss. "I have been waiting since 6! Is this about your buddy Carl? Yes? Because it is.", he continues shouting. Both walk into Columbia's office, adorned with TV stars and film noir posters. "Go! Go! Go! Take all of this with you! I'm leaving.", the boss yells as he shuts the door. Columbia gets all of the memorabilia together in boxes and takes it to the boss. "Hey.", Columbia sighs. "Here's all my stuff. Just get it in the truck. I'll be in a car.", Columbia says in a very sad voice. "I'm sorry.", says the boss. "I know. You were stressed.", Columbia replies. "That's the last.", says the boss to the driver. The trucks all drive off as Columbia stands in the front lot, dejected at the end of the leaving two things she came to love; Carl and her own studio.
