PAGE 1

Nine square panels. Like the opening of The Brady Bunch.

PANEL 1 - CU HEADSHOT OF QUAKER

Liam is smiling broadly.

 BEAVER (O.S.)

Liam?

LIAM

I can make the ground rumble through vibrations in my stomach!

PANEL 2 - CU HEADSHOT OF GREEN THUMB

Charles looks worn and ragged. He's had one of the most traumatic days of his life. We'll see how miserable his life has become very soon.

BEAVER (O.S.)

Charles?

CHARLES

I can... hear... plants. They talk to me.

BEAVER (O.S.)

Very well then.

CHARLES

They won't stop.

Make them stop.

PANEL 3 - CU HEADSHOT OF POST-IT

Jimmy has his eyes up in the air. Various gunk is stuck to his face: Paper clips. A calculator. A game boy. A kleenex. A sock.

BEAVER (O.S.)

Jimmy?

JIMMY

Uhm... kind of obvious? Things are, like, sticking to me. Like... everything. Everything is f=ing sticking to me.

PANEL 4 - CU HEADSHOT OF THE PUPPETEER

Annalee is introspective. She's been doing nothing but thinking about this, it's almost an afterthought to tell others about it.

ANNALEE

I can jump into other people's minds. Look around, view their memories, interpret their thoughts... even control them a little.

BEAVER (O.S.)

Fascinating, Annalee. Very good then. And Jacques?

PANEL 5 - CU HEADSHOT OF THE SQUIRREL

Jacques has a look of paranoia. Imagine a guy who is saying one thing, but petrified that others will figure out he's thinking another. It might even be funny if his paranoia is directed toward Annalee. Either way, the framing of him being surrounded works to our advantage.

JACQUES

I... do not know. I can only say zat... things 'ave been... odd.

PANEL 6 - CU HEADSHOT OF LONG DONG

Ray is looking down. We know what he's looking at, don't we?

BEAVER

Alright, then. Ray?

RAY

    Uhm... I've been... enhanced.  Huge. Gigantic. Y'know... hung like a horse?

Except this is more like a garden hose.

PANEL 7 - CU HEADSHOT OF THE INTOXICATOR

Elwood is dazed. Hung over. Almost sleeping.

BEAVER (O.S.)

Er... Very good then. Elwood?

ELWOOD

(drunken)

Hunh? Shhh.

PANEL 8 - CU HEADSHOT OF WANNABE

Norrin is very disturbed. He should look how he feels: Like he missed the opportunity he's sought his entire life.

The first two balloons intercut the panel to the left.

NORRIN

He can burp at people and make them drunk.

ELWOOD

(drunken)

No, you can! You're drunk!

BEAVER

Norrin? Have you any interesting new abilities?

NORRIN

You can pass right by me. I got nothin'. I missed it. I went for pizza.

 Man. Pizza.

PANEL 9 - CU HEADSHOT OF THE SEDUCTRESS

Paula smiles apologetically.

PAULA

I'm sorry, Norrin. I don't think I have any powers either, if it makes you feel any better.

At the bottom: another stray balloon, with a stem leading all the way across the bottom of the page, back to Intoxicator:

ELWOOD

(drunken)

Or hung over. I c'n make ya hung over too. I said that. Wait, what'j you say?
