Don't try this at home, folks.

Just sitting at a table on a quiet beach eating prawns the size
of horses, our feet dangling into the water.
It was very late, and people were setting off those
massive lit paper lanterns into the air.
So huge! The size of washing machines!
I've never seen them before. Really beautiful.

Then a kid strolls up from somewhere and starts twirling
two fireballs around his head.
As is traditional at moments like this and with impeccable comic
timing, we both look at our beers, then at the kid, shaking our heads,
as disbelieving observers have been doing in films forever.
