TITLE BOX
In the title box, a very angry RAYNE is standing on DAD's bed, looking down on sleeping DAD, who wakes up startled.
RAYNE
I am going to surpass you in every measurable and immeasurable way.
NEXT PANEL, RAYNE hops off the bed and leaves the room.
RAYNE
Happy birthday.
NEXT ROW
INSIDE – KITCHEN. Everyone is at the table, eating cake for DAD's birthday.
MOM
Did you kids want to give your father his presents?
RAYNE
Que?
MOM explains.
MOM
Birthday present. For your father.
MOM further explains, RAYNE shakes his head.
MOM
You made him something.
RAYNE
Not this year.
RAYNE points to DAD.
RAYNE
He gave me 10$ to not make him anything.
RAYNE pulls out his 10$ bill, and eyes it suspiciously.
DAD
Easier than me pretending to like it, and spending the next year trying to conspicuously throw it out.
RAYNE
I am not an artist.
RAYNE
Yet I might be a capitalist.
