I spent all these years trying to be the

Reveal Jake was speaking into a VIDEO CAMERA, that’s attached
to TEN TV MONITORS — all filled with his image. DET. AMY
SANTIAGO (Melissa Fumero) watches, annoyed.
JAKE

(points to monitors)

Jake PLUGS the BEAR into the BANK of TVs. We see THREE WHITE

things.”
AMY
All right.
JAKE
(as Fuzzy, crying)
“I strangled a Mr. Potato Head with my
bare hands. Oh God, what have I
become?!”
