Ms. Oreo: (smirking) I am your future, darling. And the world will soon forget that you ever existed.
(Cut to dramatic close-ups, eyes locked in a silent battle of wills.)
Mr. Hydrox: (leaning forward) My legacy runs deep, rooted in purity and tradition. You are nothing but an imitator!
Ms. Oreo: (laughing) Perhaps, but I am the one they’ll crave. Mark my words, darling, your days are numbered.
(Cue ominous music as Ms. Oreo exits, leaving Mr. Hydrox brooding over her words. The camera pans out to reveal the logo of Hydrox slowly fading into the background, overshadowed by the bold, modern design of Oreo.)
