TITLE BOX
In the title box, RAYNE is watching CHEERS in the living room with MOM.
RAYNE
How does 95% of Cheers take place in a bar;
RAYNE
Yet we never see anyone drunk?
Next panel, RAYNE continues, MOM sighs in embarrassment.
RAYNE
Comparatively;
RAYNE
Mom's around a bottle of wine and within the hour she's running from the imaginary bees chasing her.
MOM
I'm happy you were there for that.
NEXT ROW
OUTSIDE – BACKYARD. RAYNE is outside dressed for fall, and is looking up at a tree.
RAYNE
If the tree is mother;
RAYNE looks down at the fallen leaves by his feet.
RAYNE
And leaves are children-
RAYNE
What does that make me?
RAYNE runs, and jumps into a huge pile of leaves.
DAD, holding a rake, smiles at RAYNE. RAYNE, lying there in a pile of leaves, looks middle horrified by his own actions.
DAD
Again?
RAYNE
I'm a monster.
RAYNE
But yes.
