No narration. Just speech.
"I don't like it."
"I know; I don't like it either, but it's what we've got."
"And we're supposed to use that thing?"
"That's what the man said."
"It gives me the creeps. It just... stares at you."
"I've seen worse."
"Really? When did you ever see worse than that?"
"This one time I went to Des Moines-"
"Oh don't get back on that Des Moines trip, you bring it up every time we get anything new in."
"Hey, if you'd been there, you would have been freaked out too."
"Yeah yeah... where should we put it?"
"We could... wait, is there any open space in the exhibit?"
"I think so. I mean, there should be; we haven't added anything to it in months."
"Let's go check, make sure. The curator spent enough money on this thing, it would be a shame if there wasn't enough room for it to be out on display."
"No it wouldn't."
"It really wouldn't."
"Ah, there we go; it can hang right there."
"Next to the dismemberment portrait? A little on the nose, don't you think?"
"Heh. 'On the nose.' "
"Really though, there's got to be a better place for it."
"Where else would you put it? Next to the cannibal display? That's just in poor taste."
"This whole room is in poor taste. I can't believe we even have it."
"The man knows what he wants, I guess."
"Still... could be worse."
"I know, you went to Des Moines and saw some crazy shit, could you please just let it go."
"What? No, I wasn't talking about Des Moines. I was talking about... could you imagine if that 'Night at the Museum' movie were real, and all these exhibits came to life every night? In this room?"
"Oh, man, that's... don't say stuff like that, you're making me nauseous."
"I'll bet the guy on the spike over there would hate that."
"Seriously, not funny. Let's just put this thing on a podium and get going already."
"Little shrunken head wouldn't be too happy about it either, would you, little shrunken head?"
"Just place the head and let's go. It's freaking me out enough on its own without you pretending it's gonna come to life at night. Though at least it would blink."
"Do these things have eyelids?"
"I hate you right now."
"Alright, alright, bring the podium over here and we'll set it up and get going. Besides, the sun's going down soon."
"Hate. You."
"Just hurry up and get back here. I'm freaking myself out now too. This room is like something that should be in an Indiana Jones movie."
"All right: podium."
"Good, let's set it there. I still can't believe we have a room for this stuff."
"If we didn't, how would you ever be able to torture me?"
"Don't worry, I'd find a way."
"There, it's set up. Now let's go grab dinner, and hopefully my appetite will be back by the time the food comes."
"I'm in the mood for some nice leathery steak."
"Not funny. Hey, isn't his arm supposed to be bent?"
"Yeah, it is. Probably some kids messing with it. That guy's head's turned the wrong way too."
"People need to learn not to touch the exhibits. Don't they know they can get in trouble?"
"Whoa."
"What?"
"I could swear the shrunken head's eyes were looking forward when I placed it a minute ago. Now it looks like they're looking at me."
"See, that's what you get for trying to mess with me; freaked yourself out, and your eyes are playing tricks on you."
"Let's go get dinner."
"Sure you don't want to stare at the shrunken head some more?"
"No, I'm good. That thing's freaking me out."
"Hey, it could be worse."
"Think so?"
"Sure; you could be back in Des Moines."
