time for something objectively silly

cookedupThe Indominus Rex doesn't spend much time socializing. Partly that's harm reduction on her part, because she is a damaged creature and it's difficult to control her drive to kill, even now. She accepts the practicality of not committing mass slaughter where you nest, as it were, and definitely doesn't want to be chased by a bunch of hunters, so basically she is the world's most lethal introvert.
Lack of company gets boring, though, and she's been known to slip into the edges of the Plaza with full camouflage, and just people-watch. (Ssh, that's not creepy at all.) Nexus, did you know that there are these things called 'movies' that tell stories through visual imagery, and that you can buy copies of them at stores? Because she just recently learned this and her mind is blown.
The video store here sells films from all over the multiverse in every format imaginable, and plays them on large screens in their display windows to lure people in. (Sometimes it gets awkward when that multiversal fourth-wall gets fractured and someone stumbles across scenes from their life playing on the screen, but the staff is used to talking angry protagonists down by now.) What is playing at the moment is a charming little picture called Up, which the dinosaur is inordinately excited by.
Every time the dogs come onto the screen her tail starts twitching wildly, and at this point she's dropped her camouflage. The whiteboard she carries with her is propped against her elbow, and there are two large exclamation points drawn on either end. Between them, it says:
WANT. THAT.
Collar thing! Not dog.
Who can make for me??
A portable universal translation system she could wear would make it almost worth it to talk to people. Maybe.
