The zoo, call-girl city, and Big Kids

I was in charge of a fleet of ambulances, only I couldn't see where they were going. Once they left this particular intersection, I had no way of knowing where they were.

I was walking through this strange place, and I kept seeing boys pursuing girls. One looked like it might be a rape. That's when I figured out that I was in a movie called Big Kids, which was a lot like Kids only with younger stars. I got handed a note that said "Tits is gonna beat the shit outta the little guy." Some twelve-year-old girl was named Tits, but she was the toughest one of them all. I wandered near the fight and saw all these prepubescent kids sitting in a Coliseum-type auditorium. I walked past them. Somehow I ended up in a river, holding two bags of McDonald's food over my head so they wouldn't get wet. I went over several small waterfalls before landing at my destination. There were no houses there, just a K-Mart and a big run-down brothel. I took the food to Bridget Fonda (obvious reference to Lake Placid, which Matt and I watched for a while last night) who was a call girl. She talked business for a while, explaining how the whole city was going downhill even though she had been immortalized in a certain romance novel. I helped myself to some strawberry and cherry Starbursts, perhaps a bit greedily, before making my way upstream the river again. As others had done before, I put my empty wrappers back in the candy bowl so my gluttony would remain a secret a few seconds longer.

Matt and I were at the zoo. There was some incident with mashed potatoes and underage drinking, then the police came, and we ran. What struck me as amusing were the two different exits: one was unmarked, the other was marked "rude customers exit here."
