Int: a dark room with a ratty couch that has seen better days. Diet Coke cans, pizza boxes and porn DVDs litter the floor. Across from the couch is a large HDTV that projects image feeds from Ted’s eyes.
We pan across the front of the couch, revealing a version of a chubby, disheveled Ted, wearing sweat pants and a t-shirt that says “Stomach” in Batman-esque henchmen lettering. Beside Stomach is Ted again wearing a clean shirt emblazened with “Reason”. And finally, beside him, is a third Ted, skinny, weasel-like, wearing a shirt with “Penis” across it. Reason has a PS2 controller in his hand.
POV: cut to over the shoulder shot of Stomach, Reason and Penis as they watch the TV. POV shot on the screen of a crowded mall.
Stomach: Can we eat that?
Reason: Please. It’s a bank machine.
Penis: Can we put me in it?
Reason: Where? In the deposit slot? Honestly you two are too much. Can’t we just get the body home without base and animal distractions…
Penis: Bah! You are one fuckin’ ice queen, you know that?
Reason: (rolls eyes)
Stomach: Are we going to pass by the food court? It’s been at least–
Penis: HOT COP! LOOK! HOT COP!
Stomach: Can we eat him?
Reason: I have to admit, I wouldn’t mind getting his attention.
Penis: WAVE AT HIM! YELL AT HIM! THROW SOMETHING AT HIM!
Stomach: Put him in our mouth!
Reason: Stop it both of you! I am walking away normally. (He wrenches the controller to the left – the TV lurches left)
Penis/Stomach: NOOOO!

i’m sorry to say this confirms my unkindest suspicions about you — you’re human.
I’m pretty sure you just described my boyfriend’s inner dialogue.
