INSIDE – KITCHEN. DAD is relaxing in the kitchen when RAYNE comes home from school, unhappy.
DAD
What’s wrong?
RAYNE
Nobody wanted to play with me at school today.
DAD looks worried.
DAD
How come?
RAYNE
They all wanted to play soccer.
DAD gets a bit suspicious.
DAD
And what did you want to do?
RAYNE
Steal the gas from the principal’s car to use as a propellant for a space shuttle we’d build out of gym mats and school chairs.
DAD nods, but is confused.
DAD asks-
DAD
I don’t get the gym mats.
RAYNE
Heat shield for re-entry into the atmosphere.
DAD
Of course.
