Cheech Marin, Jack Nicholson, and the Chatterer cenobite, all together in one place, the dining room of a McDonalds Restaurant - you just know something bad is going to happen when those three get together!
They sit at a table, just trying to have a conversation about an upcoming movie project they are working on, but give up and leave the restaurant because the place is just too NOISY!

Since my -ch actor is Charlie Chaplin, I'll be 'filming' this movie in crackly black and white; Charlie is of course known for silent films. The 'noise' from the screaming mouth (口) is therefore unwelcome by Patrick (少) and Charlie. The intertitle in the silent movie will be 'A few moments later...' before showing that Patrick has muzzled the mouth with his hands!

Hearing a lot of noise, my Ch- actor busts into the room to find the Mouth (口) trying to use sound waves to move a badminton shuttlecock (少) across the room. It's so noisy that the Mouth can't hear Ch shouting for him to stop. So much noise....

Im my parents' living room, CHARLIE SHEEN is banging o a tin drum while my father is playing the accordion, on top of that the tv is on. Suddenly, the wall cracks, revealing a big OPENING. Jack Nicholson as COLONEL NATHAN JAMES JESSUP crawls out of the opening and yells: "I cannot handle this NOISE!"
Jonathan Glazier
In the style of a silent movie, Charlie Chaplain is in the living room of Vancouver quay (ou set), moving about like a penguin as he does, He is surrounded by penguins on snowboards (Right hand component) being chased by a giant inflatable rolling stones mouth (lefthand component). Charlie is acting like there’s an awful noise as the penguins get more excited. But of course, it is all silent. Up comes one of those beautiful, stating the obvious captions, explaining the obvious. “The NOISY (KW) penguins were becoming annoying”. As if we didn’t know.
