9.[sold] 'I Love Buenos Aires' (pictured below) Landmarks of the great city float into view as Gardel sings and tango dancers sway.

11.'Surprise!' (pictured below) A photographer takes a polaroid picture of the person holding the flip book - it develops into a monkey.

1.[sold]'Revolution' the camera zooms in to a man's pocketwatch, then out to a belltower clock, and back in to the same belltower in a book, held by the same man.
