3 men in a windowless, darkened room, a canvas on the wall is lit by a huge beamer one of the men has lent from somebody else. A rattling air-conditioner jars their nerves but nobody wants to switch it off. Some books are lying on a table before them. One of the men taps on a keyboard. The desktop image on the canvas is replaced by a photo.

Miller: Well, it's food.
Smith: Of course it's food! That's for sure! He says it has meaning.
Parker: You don't say. What kind of meaning?
Smith: He won't tell. That's part of the riddle. We have to look at it, describe the items, collect the facts and come to conclusions.
Miller: Man, there's no meaning at all! It's just a bunch off food on a desk mixed together with some antique stuff.
Smith: I'm not sure. This guy is pretty smart. Maybe we should look at this picture for a while.
Miller: Hah!
(All three men are looking at the picture for a while.)
Parker: I think I see something.
Smith: Huh?
Parker: That tart in the foreground. See? It's shaped like a mushroom. And that stuff in the upper left corner is yet untreated and quite fresh. Not like the fruits in the lower right corner.
Miller & Smith: Oh!
(Again, they stare at the picture for a while.)
Miller: Rousseau... so who was this guy?
Parker: Kind of philosopher. Wait... (grabs one of the books on the table) Yeah, quite influential. (Reads) This was his last book.
Smith: I like these figures.
Parker: This guy is fooling us!
Smith: Rousseau?
Parker (ironically): Exactly.
