TITLE BOX
In the title box, RAYNE is playing outside, when MOM pokes out her head.
MOM
Do you want to come in and get ready for soccer?
RAYNE
Did they replace the ball with a hedgehog?
NEXT PANEL, RAYNE keeps playing.
MOM
No.
RAYNE
Then no.
NEXT ROW
INSIDE – LIVING ROOM. RAYNE is sulking, getting into his soccer outfit.
RAYNE
I don’t want to go to soccer.
RAYNE pouts.
RAYNE
It’s not fun.
DAD
That’s a lousy attitude.
DAD tries to perk him up.
DAD
You get to decide if something is fun or not.
DAD
But if you’re going in there with the assumption that it won’t be fun, it’ll end up being a self-fulfilling prophecy.
RAYNE nods, eyes wide.
RAYNE
I get it.
RAYNE
You’re saying I’m a prophet.
DAD leaves, RAYN’s eyes are still wide.
DAD
Have fun at soccer.
RAYNE
Deep inside, I think I always knew.
