Accept Jesus into your (fluttering) hearts

What are birds gonna do with Bibles? They can hardly read at all – it’s all chicken-scratch.

Birds – closest of all to Angels

(Ad exec)

Hey there, great to meet ya, great to meet ya—Folks, I’m here to make you all filthy, filthy rich! Cloudcuckooland is a land of opportunity. You’ve got these big screens—well, don’t forget, screens have two sides! One is to block out the sun. But I look at these big screens, and what do I see? – Ad space! Big, blank, beautiful white ad space! Now, I’ve been talking to some of the guys in marketing and they have come up with some great ideas. These have all had great product runs and you’re gonna love ‘em. From Apple I bring you the iBird—popular among the chick population, the young people! And if you want to coordinate your family, how bout the new iFlown? (crowd reaction) a great new running shoe? Consider Nike Air. Our new hybrid car!

H: We don’t need all these products, man, that’s what we’re trying to get away from.

P: It’s impressive that you’ve come up with all these great products in the five minutes that Cloudcuckooland’s been in existence, but we don’t need this stuff!

Ad guy: Wait, wait! What about Cuckoo-cola! Keep your bird population caffeinated with Cawbucks!

---

Oil guy: Wow, guys, I just want to thank you on behalf of ExxonMobil, Texaco, and Citgo! Please accept these token of our appreciation.

P: Uhhh, thanks…

H: For what exactly?

Oil: Because of your big screens, solar energy has never been more scarce, and fossil fuels have never been so in demand! If you keep this screen business up, we’ll have our highest profits ever! What do you say we have a little deal, a contract of sorts? You keep the screens going, and we’ll give you a 10% cut on our profits. You’ll reap the benefits with us.

H: Get outta here, and take your stupid trophy with you!

(Fight between Hugh and Peter? How does Peter develop during these visitor scenes?)
