TITLE BOX
In the title box, RAYNE is watching TV when DAD walks in.
DAD
Shouldn't you be doing your homework?
RAYNE
I'll learn everything I need from the aptly named 'The Learning Channel'.
Next panel, DAD offers a counterpoint, while RAYNE shrugs it off.
DAD
What happens if they change their programming exclusively to shows about toddlers dressing inappropriately?
RAYNE
That's like saying the History channel will stop broadcasting history programs.
NEXT ROW
At School, the TEACHER is teaching history when RAYNE interupts.
TEACHER
Does anyone know-
RAYNE
It was the fault of the English.
The TEACHER looks irritated, as RAYNE shrugs.
TEACHER
You didn't let me finish-
RAYNE
English. Fault. Theirs.
TEACHER shoots back to RAYNE, he retorts.
TEACHER
That's your answer to every history question
RAYNE
That's THE answer to every history question.
RAYNE makes a small concession.
RAYNE
Except on a few rare occasions when it's either the Romans or the Christian Church. But mostly the English.
Awkward pause as the TEACHER collects herself.
RAYNE asks her, as she closes the book she was using.
RAYNE
What was the question?
TEACHER
Let's do math.
