Bill is the hero of the apocalyptic radio drama comedy, trying to rescue a damsel in distress from the rabbit man who can manipulate pencils as his helper. The beginning features frozen voice effects to set a formal tone and depict Bill on an enigmatic phone call. Following Todorov's model, the passage establishes equilibrium with introductory speech before disrupting it by introducing the female character, implying future resolution. Characters converse indirectly but the overall mode of address remains informal due to the lighthearted genre.
