They drive up to a high-tech facility where liquid latex is poured overtheir heads and meticulously shaped into human faces. Pleased with their newhuman appearance, they walk down the road to the astonishment of everyoneelse around. When the duo's faces start to melt in the sun, the localsrealise that they aren’t real humans after all, and begin to chase afterthem.
