Writers: It’s too far. We can’t give the head bull elephant the elephant plague.

Supreme Being: What do you mean it’s too far? Do you seriously think there’s an option of what happens next? This is a fable. Fable structure is set, it’s not up to us at this point.

Writers: But the elephant plague . . . we didn’t really intend to go that route.
