TITLE BOX
In the title box, RAYNE is staring outside at the crappy weather, looking bored.
NEXT PANEL, DAD walks in, and RAYNE turns.
DAD
How would you like to control an entire nation?
RAYNE
I’m listening.
NEXT ROW
INSIDE – LIVING ROOM. DAD is still talking.
DAD
Send soldiers into battle;
DAD
To attack the enemy where and when they’re at their most vulnerable?
RAYNE’s eyes widen.
DAD
To decide who lives and who dies?
RAYNE
Like a king?
RAYNE’s eyes widen even more.
DAD
You would command Kings and Queens.
RAYNE
Like a God.
Cut to RAYNE and DAD Sitting at the table playing CHESS.
DAD
Did I oversell it?
RAYNE
A little.
