TITLE BOX
In the title box, RAYNE has a black eye and is coming home from school. He sighs as he opens the front door.
NEXT ROW
INSIDE – KITCHEN. RAYNE walks into the house, and MOM and DAD immediately see him.
MOM
Rayne!
DAD
What happened?
As they rush to RAYNE, RAYNE responds.
RAYNE
There was a big kid picking on some of the kindergarteners.
DAD asks, RAYNE shrugs again, obviously.
DAD
What did you do?
RAYNE
I stood up.
MOM is getting RAYNE ice, but DAD is still curious.
DAD
Why?
RAYNE
Because staying silent is just as bad as bullying.
DAD and MOM share a proud look.
DAD speaks, as RAYNE glares at them.
DAD
We're not so bad at this parenting thing.
RAYNE
Are you seriously making this about you?
RAYNE
I'm a hero.
