: something small and silver at the bottom of the bottle.

: Andy (v.o.)
: I'm like a bottle of vinegar with a
: Hershey's kiss at the bottom. Seriously,
: I am. I've had some bad things happen to
: me over my life, and they've sort of layered
: themselves on to who I am.


:
: vinegar bottle disappears. an oyster appears on the counter.

: Andy (v.o.)
: They layered themselves on like that slimy
: stuff...

:
: hands dump a bucket of sand mixed with slimy goo.

:
: Andy (v.o.)
: ...over a grain of sand in an oyster.
: Wait, that would mean I’m like a pearl.

:
: a hand digs a pearl out of the goo, presenting it to the
: camera.

:

: kind people when you get down to it, it’s
: just, like me...

:
: a car drives by splashing mud all over Andy, as a young black
