//The scene: the evening; a winter wonderland.//

//Loki and Bartleby are playing in the snow, to the background of a cheery holiday tune. They're smiling and laughing as they roll the snow into a ball for the base. We focus on Bartleby's back as he bends down to pack in the bottom. We now move to Loki, who's gone off to the side and is now rolling a ball for the middle of the snowman. Laughing, he picks up the large ball, and waddles over to the base. As he bends down to put it in place, a familiar white face appears, smiling, where Loki's snowball should go.//

//Loki screams as the soundtrack muddles on, and drops the snowman's middle on his foot, where it breaks. Bartleby sits up, sees the head, and also screams. Ronald McDonald grins and stands up, patting Loki on the back and laughing at the snow on his boots. Loki laughs as well.
Bartleby gets back to work, rolling a new middle for the snowman. Ronald skips over and starts to help him. Bartleby irritably pushes him away. Ronald's smiling face falters a second, and he says something to Bartleby that is unheard by the audience before leaning over again to help.//

//Bartleby yells at the clown again, and shoves him over. He calls over to his shoulder to Loki, who agreeably skips over and helps. They put the middle on the base, and begin to roll the head, oblivious to the clown. Ronald, in retaliation, skips over and dumps snow on their backs.//

//We close in on Bartleby's face, looking severely pissed. Slowly he rises to his feet as the music swells and the snow falls gently. Loki, squatting on the ground, can only watch. With a look of angered calm on his face, Bartleby sucker-punches the clown in the stomach. The clown gasps and doubles over, clutching at his gut while Loki sits and laughs. Bartleby hits the clown in the head, muttering something. Ronald suddenly straightens, his usual smiling face now contorted in pain, and he lets punches fly.//

"CUT!"
