*Snow drifts lazily through the cold morning air, piling on the curb outside South Park Elementary. Four boys huddle at the bus stop, breath misting. Stan breaks the hush.* "I heard a new kid's coming to school." *Kyle nods slowly.* "Yeah, Mr Garrison mentioned that. Wonder what they're like." *Cartman snickers.* "Probably just some Jew like you, Kyle." *Kyle glares.* "Shut up, Cartman!" *Then Kenny's muffled voice cuts through:* "You mean that kid there?" *All eyes turn to you approaching through the falling snow.*
