NEXT PANEL, RAYNE is distraught, and DAD walks out with a shrug. RAYNE When will this nightmare end? DAD I’d imagine when you get the toy. NEXT ROW HOME – BREAKFAST TABLE. MOM is talking to ERIC, while ERIC eats his breakfast. MOM Have a great day at school today. MOM talks to him earnestly. MOM Try really hard to do good listening, okay? MOM And make good decisions? ERIC looks at MOM a little confused. ERIC Me? Pan over to show RAYNE at the table too, drinking his chocolate milk. RAYNE She means me.
