Scene: A large open savannah. A small group of Australopithecines stands at the center of a primitive, yet energetic rally. The crowd is gathered, chanting and waving banners with slogans like "Make Australopithecines Great Again" and "Walk Upright for a Better Tomorrow." At the front of the group stands Arlo, a charismatic Australopithecine leader, holding a crude wooden staff like a makeshift microphone. The sun is setting in the background, casting a warm glow over the scene.
Arlo (standing on a rock, excitedly addressing the crowd):
"Brothers, sisters, and fellow walkers—today is the day! Today, we make history! For too long, we've been overlooked, ridiculed, and dismissed as... well, small. But we know better, don’t we? We were the pioneers! We stood tall before Homo erectus ever knew what it was to really walk!"
(The crowd roars in approval, some of them raising spears, sticks, and other primitive tools in unison.)
Arlo (pointing dramatically into the distance, where a group of Homo erectus hunters are spotted on the horizon):
"Look at them! Those so-called 'advanced' Homo erectus—so proud of their fire and stone tools! But who taught them the basics? Who showed them how to get up on two legs and see the world? We did! But now? Now they're taking all the credit! Well, it’s time we stand tall—again! We will not be forgotten!"
(The crowd cheers again, some of them starting to chant "Make Australopithecines Great Again!")
Arlo (his voice rising with passion):
"It’s not about tools, it’s not about fire—it’s about spirit! We walked before them. We’ll walk after them. And soon, we’ll have a world where the past is honored, where the greatness of Australopithecines is celebrated for all to see! Imagine a world where our descendants take the lead once again! We’ll show them that evolution doesn’t end with Homo erectus! We are the originals—the first true walkers on this Earth!"
(The crowd claps and whoops in approval, many of them jumping up and down in excitement.)
Arlo (pausing, looking down at a piece of stone as if to emphasize his next point):
"And what do they have, huh? A few tools? A little fire? We have something they can never match: Our roots. Our legacy is unshakable! Our very existence is proof that we were here first! Let's show them that being the first matters!"
(A small group of Homo erectus figures in the distance glance over curiously at the rally, whispering to one another. They seem bemused, not entirely sure what to make of the gathering.)
Arlo (grinning, leaning toward the crowd with a conspiratorial tone):
"They may have fire... but we have purpose."
(The crowd erupts into applause and cheers, banging sticks and yelling in approval. The rallying cry grows louder.)
Arlo (raising his staff triumphantly):
"Today, my friends, we start our return. Today, we make Australopithecines great again! The world will remember who the true pioneers of this Earth were! And we will never, ever, walk in the shadows again!"
(The crowd chants "Make Australopithecines Great Again!" in unison as the sun sets behind them, the light casting long shadows across the savannah.)
(Cut to a few Homo erectus in the distance shaking their heads, looking on in bewilderment, as the sounds of the rally grow louder.)
End scene.
