==Plot==
CrazySponge sends Liz to the park with CrazySponge's lover so that he has some time to reflect.
==Script==
[The episode starts right in the action of an ongoing party in the Box Productions headquarters, with us observing it from the deluded perspective of a clearly inebriated white woman. “” by plays as we see her stumble over a glass champagne bottle (with shards missing), into CEO CrazySponge’s desk. She scrambles for some pills left on the desk, and we see her beautifully painted fingernails lie stark on decrepit fingers, flesh torn off and knuckles red with rashes and scars. A thud is heard from the other side of the desk, alerting her to look into the eyes of the psycho CEO. CrazySponge licks his lips.]
Yeat: [offscreen; rapping] Nah, fuck that bitch, I need to feel it…
[“Feel it” echoes continuously, fading out as the scene blurs into a bird’s eye perspective, potentially through CCTV cameras, wherein Liz is standing next to CrazySponge, in a tattered suit, who gets up from the floor and dusts himself off. Liz is holding a bin attached to the woman’s head.]
CrazySponge: Take Bianca somewhere nice, will you? Park or somethin’? So she forgets last night.
Liz: [chuckling] What happened last night? 
CrazySponge: Well… [splutters] we let something talk alright. Little too much.
Liz: [exasperated sigh] Sounds like you, boss. Come on, Bianca. 
[Bianca stands up and gives way to a muffled protest Liz can dismiss due to its lack of clarity.]
Liz: We’ll go feed the ducks, okay.
[Bianca groans as the two, holding hands, exit for the door. A disgusted sigh can be heard. We then cut to CrazySponge at his desk but facing the massive broken glass window that provides his view and eye onto the world. He is smoking a cigarette.]
CrazySponge: [mumbling; singing to himself] And I say to myself…
[We see panning scenes of homeless people spluttering in rags and blankets on street corners, a tussle between two armed men, a woman with a child in a pram being followed by police, a young child with a grazed knee crying by herself alone. CrazySponge takes a drag, and we cut back to his face, visible through the crack in the window.]
CrazySponge: [strained] .
[Awkward pause, before we cut to a dreamlike scene, outlined by a blurred, watercolour-paint white background that leaves only the centre of the screen for action. The cloudy white backdrop drifts seamlessly into the 4:3 scene, which depicts Liz and Bianca, now uncovered to show a black left eye with a scar developing around it and the right eye dressed in running blue mascara. They sit on a bench separating bread crumbs and feeding them to the ducks as a smoky male crooner sings an easy listening musical number, complimenting the pastoral scene that has emerged, decorated in daisies.]
Crooner: [offscreen, singing] Oh, a world as pure as skies on a bright, sunny day…
Garlands at your service, oh as pure Mary may
Be answered to every request, simply be my guest
In the garden of bliss, hope you enjoy your stay…
[The 4:3 scene fades into Liz and Bianca, now wearing an eyepatch and a white wedding dress, laying down on a field of grass as the camera gently spins around them. Liz is picking up blades of grass and flowers, sharing them with Bianca, who sniffs them and magically, her skin becomes smooth and pure.]
Crooner: Oh, it would be so delightful to cast worries away
Wish a spell on ruthless men who won’t object to a fray
[Fade to a similar 4:3 scene of Liz and Bianca standing near a bush as Bianca blows bubbles for Liz to pop.]
Crooner: That will calm all troubles, and POP!... boiling bubbles
Of tension that will set your mind astray…
Just cast all those worries away…
[We fade back to CrazySponge looking out of his window with a cigarette, now standing. The pearl backdrop wilters, turning grey as a thundercloud claps in the background, swiftly dulling the sky as a mild cacophony of traffic, yelling, fire alarms, ambulances and sizzling fires seeps below the mix of the song. The crooner takes a different tone, and CrazySponge mouths along.]
Crooner: If such a world existed, then we’d all be in such luck…
[The music stops for a brief moment as CrazySponge takes a drag of his cigarette, before returning with a gentle orchestral swell accompanying CrazySponge blowing the smoke out.]
Crooner, in harmony with a whispering CrazySponge: But consider this, my friend…
The beginning might just be the end…
And for now, we’re all… just… fucked.
[The music comes to a stop but the cacophony continues as CrazySponge struggles to settle upon the emotion he wants to convey. Eventually, he settles into a slight grin and appears to start taking another drag, but the episode ends before the cigarette reaches his mouth.]
