In the title box, DAD Comes home from work.

You look tired.
DAD
I am.
DAD
It was a long day.
NEXT Panel. RAYNE grimaces.
RAYNE
You’re not really selling this whole ‘work’ thing.
NEXT ROW
KITCHEN. RAYNE looks thoughtful.
RAYNE
Do I need to work when I’m older?
DAD
How are you going to support yourself?
RAYNE thinks about it.
RAYNE
H-uh.
RAYNE
Where are you in this scenario?
DAD
Super dead.
RAYNE asks follow up questions.
RAYNE
Did you hit the lottery before you died and left me with generational wealth?
DAD
I left you with a mortgaged house and a half tank of gas in the car.
RAYNE lays out his plan.
RAYNE
I use the half tank of gas and set the house on fire for insurance money.
DAD nods, expecting this.
DAD
Life of crime then?
RAYNE
You left me no choice, deadbeat.
