TITLE BOX
In the title box, RAYNE is in the Kitchen reading the comics, when MOM walks in.
MOM
Where did I leave my coffee?
RAYNE
I'll tell you where it is to you for $5.
NEXT PANEL, MOM walks out, as RAYNE shrugs knowingly.
MOM
I'm not paying $5 for a coffee.
RAYNE
Hold on to that conviction for a few decades.
NEXT ROW
OUTSIDE – PARK. RAYNE and DAD are going for a walk in the cold winter's day.
DAD
It's almost the new year.
RAYNE
It is.
DAD smiles. RAYNE looks thoughtful.
DAD
Any big hopes for the next 365 days?
RAYNE speaks.
RAYNE
Peace.
And his second thing.
RAYNE
Love.
And his third thing.
RAYNE
And that no one pays too much attention to what I'm up to.
DAD looks at him suspiciously, as RAYNE laughs.
DAD
What are you up to?
RAYNE
Nothing related to the first two, that's for sure.
