Announcer V/O: [ over scrolling SUPER ] In 1992, Ken Mortimer was an advertising executive in Baltimore, Maryland. Then, for reasons known only to him, he left his wife and career, and moved deep into the forest. Now, he is known only as.. “The Falconer”
The Falconer: Donald! We’re starving to death! This land that once filled us with life is now barren. One of us must search elsewhere, and only one of us can fly.
Falcon: [ squawks ]
The Falconer: No, Donald! You! Oh, Donald.. even in these desperate times, you still retain that dry sense of humor. Now you must fly away from these woods and bring back something – a possom, a squirrel.. anything to keep us alive! So, be gone, my friend! Bring us life! Bring us liiiiiiiifffe!!
Maitre’d: [ happily ] Ahhh, Monsieur Falcon! It’s so good to see you! Your usual table!
[ dissolve to Waiter holding holding a classic bottle before the Falcon ]Waiter: It’s an ’82 Rothschild. [ Falcon squawks ] Yes. It’s our finest Burgundy.

Waiter: Sorry.. sorry.. sorry.. sorry..
[ dissolve to Falcon drinking a glass of wine ] [ dissolve to Waiter and Falcon at completion of the meal ]Waiter: A 100% tip? Thank you, Mr. Falcon. You’re too generous!
[ Falcon’s cell phone rings, he answers it ] [ Falconer’s Wife is on the other line ]Falconer’s Ex-Wife: I heard you were in town. Why don’t you come by and say hello?
Falcon: [ squawks and flies into the air ] [ dissolve to exterior, apartment building ] [ sounds of Falcon’s high-pitched squawking amid Falconer’s Ex-Wife’s heavy orgasms ]
Falconer’s Ex-Wife: Oh, yeah.. ohhh!!
[ SUPER: “The Next Morning” ]Falconer’s Ex-Wife: Oh, yeah! That was amazing!
Falconer’s Ex-Wife: So soon? Why don’t you ever stay for breakfast?! Damn you, Falcon!
[ Falcon flies into the air; close-up of his steadfast face ] [ Falcon spots a rat in the grass, and swoops down for it ] [ dissolve to The Falconer, as Falcon swoops down and drops the dead rat in The Falconer’s hands ]The Falconer: Oh, Donald! I knew I could count on you! We shall split this in half and eat as if t’were our feast, and we two mighty kings!
Falcon: [ squawks ]
The Falconer: What?! The whole thing for me?!
Falcon: [ squawks ]
The Falconer: Even the head? Oh, you are a true friend. Hopefully, one day we can return to society. But until that day, you will be the Falcon.. and I will remain..
