          A mugger, DENNIS is sticking up a VICTIM.

          The VICTIM hands it over.

          The VICTIM refuses. They grapple. The VICTIM gets thrown         
          into a dumpster, hitting their head and dying.

                    Oh crap. Oh crap, man. Are you

          He shakes the VICTIM. No response.

                    Okay. Searching for ’How to get rid                    
                    of dead body’                                          
                                                                           
                    Okay. Here’s what I found:                             
                    Step 1: Move the body to a secure                      
                    location.                                              
                    Step 2: Clean and disinfect the                        
                    immediate area with bleach or other                    
                    corrosive chemicals.                                   
                    Step 3: Dismember the body into                        
                    manageable chunks.
