"JUNO", the sign reads, "Inhabitants: 10."
"What do you call this?" Anthony asks. "A place name sign?"
"Not a real city", the animal remarks.
"Juno is a movie about a sixteen-year-old Minnesota high-schooler who discovers she is pregnant", I say.
"And a character in Beetlejuice", the llama adds.
"Not helpful", I say.
"Not helpful?" the llama asks.
"No!" I say on the edge. And turning to Anthony I ask, "What are you doing to us? And who are you? Some kind of shrunken Robin Hood with your green suit, red leggings and those pointed ears? If this was a drama series we had watched half of the episodes of the new season without having the slightest clue what is going on. Don't you know the fifteen-minutes-rule? If a movie or series does not catch you in its first fifteen minutes it will never catch you and you can as well stop watching at once."
"Sorry for not introducing myself properly", Anthony says reaching out his open hand in a polite gesture. "I am Anthony, the elf. I thought you'd remember me like I remember you. Now you are Bromford Bibble but some time ago you were Nanuk, the little Inuit boy who came to the North Pole with his spiritual animal K'eyush, the black polar bear."

"WHAAAT?"
"WHAAAT is not a good cliff-hanger, dude", the animal complains.
BING!

"Out In Bromford"
We're all a bunch of brothers livin' in a cool way
Along with six million others in this place called Bromford
Bromford is the place, sets my mind ablaze
For me, it's a race through a cotton pickin' maze
The town makes me jump, it's got a bunch of bad chicks
Well sure, it's got some chumps but I still get my kicks
My body loves to scrump when I lick the ripe pick
Like a come on a thumb
Poppin' hump, hump, hump, pop out
The action never stops, I'm as wild as can be
'Cos I'm shooting for the top with my best friend the Flea
Oom Chucka Willy knew the balls to pop
But he never met the Tree so he never be-bopped out hop!
Antwan the Swan, from the pretty fish pond
Was a bad mother jumper, you could tell he was strong
He war a cold paisley jacket and a hellified hat
And between his legs was a sweat young lass
He threw a hundred women up against the wall
And he swore to fear that he'd love 'em all
By the time he got to ninety nine, he had to stop
Because that's when he thought that he heard a fop
Last night and the night before, I heard a
Fop outside, then I came in doors
Rock out!
Now that I told you a little something about the Flea
A little something about the Tree, a little something about me
I can't leave you hangin' but my man Shermzy
He swings the yang, he bangs the yang
And now, it's time to hear him do his thang, you better be burning Sherman!
We're all a bunch of brothers livin' in a cool way
Along with six million others in this place called Bromford
Step out!
