(In a hospital, a doctor is delivering a baby to it's mother. She sees the baby and terror strikes her face. The baby is Anthony, and as far as the viewer can tell, it's a normal baby)
Doctor:
"Don't you want your baby?"
Anthony's mother:
"Take it away! Please, Doctor!
That's not my child..
Miscreation, we're wholesome, like, NBC"
(Anthony kills the doctor)
Anthony:
"Shaking off the blood, I catch their tongue, flapping menacingly; cut it out."
Ground starts breaking outside into the void, clouds reach down and weed out treacherous noise. Feed sense to the town: They're Mine.
(Anthony tears his small town away from the rest of reality, forcing it back into the dark ages; no electricity, no economy, no law but Anthony's)
Anthony's father to the townspeople:
"So Anthony just wants me to tell everyone, y'all gotta just keep thinking good thoughts and let's just think about how this is a good life and a good day"
Anthony:
"Stop thinking bad thoughts, I hear them!"
Townsperson #1's thoughts:
"Let's just hit him with a pipe!"
(Anthony kills Townsperson #1)
Anthony:
"Your system is broken"
Townspeople's thoughts:
"There's no hope he plays no games"
Anthony:
"And if you're bad, it's to the Corn, and everyone will know!"
Townspeople:
"Let's just wait and set a trap, write out plans behind his back, snuff him while he takes a nap!
I don't think he ever sleeps, someone just shoot him please!"
(someone tries to shoot Anthony, he turns them in to an abomination, the townspeople run away. Anthony meets the Garden and it's critters for the first time, sings and then falls into a dream state)

(it's christmas, the townspeople meet at Anthony's house for an Xmas celebration)
Anthony:
"I'm not quite an insect
But I feel like they know.."
(a resident comes in dressed as Santa to deliver gifts)
Anthony:
"Presents'r cheap
_laugh track_
Thoughts of the wreath
_heard that_
What's in the bag?
Nothing..
There's a hole
Cheatin'yr luck
_laugh track_
You hunt for the fuck
_heard that_
What's in your bag?
SPILL IT ON THE GROUND
Hallmark cards cut skin like glass
let your santa melt in flames"
(Anthony lights Santa on fire and causes chaos)
Anthony's father:
"Hey son, don't you think they just 'bout had enough?"
Anthony:
"'Father' is not a word i know"
(Anthony kills his father and sends him to the Cornfield)
Anthony:
"Christmas is no longer what you know it as
I'm not old enough for there to be a son of god
And I hear you doubting if there's such a thing
I'm the only God you should fear"
(Anthony retreats to the Garden and starts singing and then sleeping and then dreaming)
Anthony singing:
"Home, Home on the Range
where your fear and your happiness mate
where seldom it's heard a discouraging word and the sky obeys whatever I say
Home home in a cage"
....
(a neighbor tries to sneak up on Anthony while he's sleeping to kill him but trips and makes a noise that wakes Anthony)
Anthony:
"Spill it on the ground!"
(kills the neighbor)

Anthony's Dream

(Anthony tries to stay awake but falls back into a deep dream state)
Anthony to The Garden:
"Over, Over
I should not be sleeping
Clover, Clover
I know they want me dead
Coral, Coral
I'm allowed to get mad
Chorus, Chorus
It's not my fault you have no power over me"

(The neighbors allow Anthony to play with their children, hoping it might help make him less aggressive. Anthony is playing with the kids and manifesting HIS kind of "fun" with them, but they get scared by the abominations he creates with his mind)
Anthony:
"When're you gonna get it
I don't even need it
But then I let you have it
and you don't even want it
{Stave off bad thoughts}
I don't think you got it
So I think about it
When you whine you get it
But then complain about it?
Stay out of my Garden or I'll...
Pop our your eyes
Just because they're kids doesn't mean they're safe!
When I hear them singing I drift off..."
(The kids start singing ring around the rosie, Anthony starts to fall asleep, but sends the kids to the Cornfield before he's fully asleep)
Kids:
"Ring Around The Rosie"
Anthony:
"Stop your singing,
I had to send them to the Corn,
their parents
became a little bit perturbed
cause I stole
away the only thing that made
them feel like
they were not totally alone
in my cage
I will not tolerate their poor
Parenting
and they can't ever do a thing
... but their singing puts me to sleep
So I'll strip them of their joy
oooo
they're left
with only what they try to hide
constantly
and they won't ever sing
another song
or I'll send them to the Corn
where they'll
Never get out."

America's Funniest

Anthony to The Garden:
"I gotta sample!
I keep them frightened
They fall apart when you force them to just be more fruitful
they're so cute!
Fear you won't be impressive to the ones who keep on oppressing it's a pressing matter but all you seem to want is to please the master
Though it's just an experiment and though I can change it back I kinda like to watch them all panic and observe them without their tact"
(Anthony assembles the town into his living room where he forces them to watch the TV he makes with his mind)
Anthony's TV show (lyrics from America’s Funniest Home Videos):
"We've got laughs from coast to coast
to make you smile
a real life look at each of you
to capture all that style
it's the Red White and Blue
it's the funny things you do
America, America this is you"
(Anthony and the townspeople start laughing uncontrollably)
Anthony:
"Water your plants!"
(Anthony is seen walking into a gigantic jungle that once was the Garden as the townspeople are seen sitting in a living room watching Anthony's TV show, all of them have frighteningly feigned smiles on their faces, clearly crippled with fear)
