Sam is sleeping on the couch on one side of the room, and Momo is sleeping on the ottoman on the other side of the room.
For seemingly no reason at all, Momo abruptly wakes up, casually walks over to where Sam is still fast asleep, and then proceeds to give Sam two healthy swats to the face. After which, Momo then retreats back to his ottoman and goes right back to sleep as if nothing has happened.
Meanwhile, Sam has his head reared up with his ears turned backwards trying to figure out what the hell just happened.
