[Wide panel with three small arthropods standing on the ocean floor. Two of the creatures are facing the leftmost one. Small bubbles and particles float around them.]
Arthropod 1: Now that we're multicellular, what are your plans?
Arthropod 1: I'm gonna evolve little legs and swim around with them!
Arthropod 2: I'm gonna evolve sharp pincers and use them to crunch stuff!
Arthropod 3: I'm gonna evolve glands to make string from my butt and use it to construct elaborate geometric nets hundreds of times my size to catch other animals.
[Beat panel narrowed in on the arthropods.]
[Same scene:]
Arthropod 1: Dude.
Arthropod 2: Can you please just be normal about this?
Arthropod 3: What??!
