THE SCENE: Joyous pandemonium in the streets. People of all ages are screaming and yelling, children are dancing in wild circles, women are ululating, expressions of sheer ecstasy on their faces.
VOICE-OVER (dryly): “These people are happy.”
Adults are shown giving candy to children, makeshift musicians pick up a happy tune, guns are fired into the air, and the revelry continues.
VOICE-OVER: “These people are very happy.”
The scene continues with more of the same, as the camera pulls back and pans the entire town, and now many thousands of celebrants may be seen.
VOICE-OVER: “But what are they celebrating? Why are they so joyous?”
As the festivities go on, the following blurry words appear at the top of the screen, which slowly come into sharp focus and crystal clarity: “Palestinian Territories, September 11, 2001.”
The scene then morphs into a shot of a plane slamming into the World Trade Center.
FADE TO BLACK.
