(We left Bordess in the original post - I have come to America to hunt cats- now we resume with scene two)
At another NY corner, a giant screen towers above the street, on which the President of the United States is making a statement.
President of the U.S.: ....and we..uh..do not intend...uh...to allow the policies of the past...uhhh...the same falied policies that gave us the mess we are...uh...in today...uh...to guide this nation...uh....into a brighter future...a future where working Americans...uh...put the fat cat CEO's on notice...your days of greed and irresponsibility...are numbered...uh... as the good...uh...book says...you have been weighed in the balances...and found wanting...
(out of the picture, the voice of R.Gibbs heard to the side of the President: leme hear an amen).
Meanwhile our Bordees turns to a woman watching and listening with him and says: Excuse me plees.
Woman (turning to see the pitchfork): oh God! You startled me with that thing. What are you...some kind of city worker?
Bordees: Ni.....No, I am hear to hont for kats. I am Bordees. I am looking for street named Wall.
Woman: whatevu...
