Pillow Head Origin Story (December 9 2002)

INT. PILLOW AND GLUE FACTORY

A salesman and a customer are having a disucssion regarding rye bread.

PH:
May I try this pillow?

SALESMAN:
Yes sir.

PH sticks his face in the pillow and screams into it.

PH:
This is a good pillow. I will purchase it. But wait.
(puts on a different bowtie)
Okay. Now I'm good. I wear this bowtie when I'm happy.

(beat)

CUT TO: PH'S deadpan face. A single tear rolls off his eye.

SALESMAN:
Okay. Right this way.

They go to the cash register.
