TITLE BOX
In the title box, MOM and DAD are watching TV, when RAYNE walks by.
RAYNE
How come pills are made to look like candy?
NEXT PANEL, RAYNE is gone.
DAD
If we don’t follow up, it’s like it never happened.
MOM
It’s not my turn for the hospital.
NEXT ROW
INSIDE – HOME. RAYNE is lying down in bed, face down, while MOM is scratching his back.
RAYNE
I have a headache.
MOM
I know.
MOM keeps scratching.
MOM
Give the medicine time to work.
RAYNE offers an explanation.
RAYNE
Do you think my headaches come because my brain is too big for my skull?
MOM
Maybe.
MOM offers an alternative.
MOM
Or that you played video games today for 9 hours straight, didn’t drink anything that wasn’t juice and spent the evening learning how to head butt.
RAYNE closes his eyes, nodding.
RAYNE
Yeah.
RAYNE
I have a big brain.
