#A ruthless drug lord with no mercy.
(Shot of a chubby, white-suited, sun-glassed drug lord walking away as his moustachioed goons shoot a weeping man in a sombrero while his distraught family watch on. Chickens fly everywhere, clucking in terror. Young Scooter in the background, dancing Gangnam style.)

(A donkey in the background explodes into a mushroom cloud.)
#A city without law.
(Overhead shot of Bogota – helicopters circling indiscriminately, entire blocks on fire. Monkeys scale old pink Cuban buildings crumbling among the dust and cacti. In a dingy plaza, men in sombreros dance to ranchero music around a massive pile of white powder, firing their revolvers into the air. Explosions.)
#A sexy lady in peril.
(Shot of Sexy Colombian Lady in crop-top and denim shorts being escorted out of a shiny black SUV by Young Scooter. An inscrutable Drug Lord looks on, smoking a fat cigar.)
Sexy Colombian Lady: “I no comprendo. I sooo sexy. How come hay problemos?
Young Scooter: “I love Colombia.”
#One man will rise above the chaos.
Rocco: “But Mommy!! I don’t wanna go Columbia. It smells funny, and besides, I don’t even like cocaine.”
Madonna: “Now, you’re coming with me, and that’s final! Another word, and you’re on the first plane back to Africa!”
Rocco: “I just know you’re going to take your top off. They’ll beat me up at school again.”
