A fox hands a squirrel a present. FOX: I put weeks of thought into my gift to you. I feel this specific gift sums up the unique relationships you and I have. The squirrel opens the present. Disembodied PUNCH! A hand coming out of the opened present punches the squirrel squarely in the face, knocking them down. The squirrel, lying hurt on the ground, hands an envelope to the fox. SQUIRREL: I... got you a gift card. FOX: AW! You shouldn't' have!!
