Camera follows character walking to refrigerator

The character is seen grabbing many items out of the refrigerator. Each one is placed on the countertop, and he begins carefully making his sandwich. The last item he has to place are the pickles. He reaches for and then begins his struggle to open the jar.
The character, puzzled and frustrated, walks off the scene and comes back on with a wrench. He then tries to open the jar, but the wrench slips causing the character to fall off the screen.
The character storms back onto the scene with a baseball bat. Just before he strikes the jar, the camera blacks out and screaming is heard in the background.

The camera comes back into view showing the character setting up dynamite. His hand is bandaged, and his eyes have a crazy look. He backs away from the camera unraveling the cord.

Camera cuts to opposite view – close up face, profile. The jar is in the background.
Camera whites out to sound of explosion. Hamburger bun and ingredients fly in the air and spin around.
Camera cuts back to character who smiles.

Camera follows character to table where the pickles are laying in a puddle of juice with the hamburger bun to the side.
Character stabs pickle with a fork triumphantly. He then pick up the hamburger bun. His burger, now charcoaled, ‘poofs’ into dust.
