The premise

Here’s the bit.

A man awakens from a bizarre, sensual dream about eating a pear. He tells his partner about it, only to find that the dream is shared by others in a strange and interconnected way, blurring the lines between dream and reality. The sketch ends with the man lovingly caressing a pear in his bed.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

I had the pear dream again.

Was I there?

Yes. I think I'm insane.

I know you are.

Was Jules there?

Yes. He gave me the pear.

We are lost.

Go to sleep.
