	Good idea!  And make it just a cardboard box, with drawings for
the dashboard, and a movie projector up front.

	How about this:  Everybody else is getting grossed out by the
film, but Plucky is enjoying it.  In fact, he thinks it's a horror film,
and complains about there not being much plot.  Everybody else is
turning purple, gagging, throwing up, etc.-- Plucky is sitting in his
chair, like in  a movie theater.  He's got popcorn and snacks in his lap
and he offers some to Shirley, sitting next to him:

	Plucky: "Hey, Shirl, want some Goobers or Raisinettes?"

	Her reaction I'll leave to your imagination.
