TITLE BOX
In the title box, RAYNE is wearing a captain America t-shirt, as BECKER scoffs at it.
BECKER
Captain America?
BECKER
Who likes Captain America?
Next panel, RAYNE explains patiently.
RAYNE
Like the captain himself, I'm a man out of time.
NEXT ROW
RAYNE is watching the rain pour down, from the living room window.
RAYNE
I like watching the rain.
RAYNE continues.
RAYNE
Especially after winter, before spring.
RAYNE continues.
RAYNE
Washes away the dirt, the grime, the yesterday.
RAYNE looks wistfully.
RAYNE
Makes for a clean slate.
Pull out to show DAD is there too, reading a book. RAYNE gestures outside.
DAD
You're still grounded.
RAYNE
CLEAN SLATE.
