INT. FITTS HOUSE - RICKY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

On VIDEO: JANE BURNHAM lays in bed, wearing a tank top. She's

sixteen, with dark, intense eyes.
                    JANE

          I need a father who's a role model, not

some horny geek-boy who's gonna spray his

shorts whenever I bring a girlfriend home

from school.

(snorts)

What a lame-o. Somebody really should put

him out of his misery.
Her mind wanders for a beat.
                    RICKY (O.C.)

          Want me to kill him for you?
Jane looks at us and sits up.
                    JANE

              (deadpan)

Yeah, would you?
                                               FADE TO BLACK.



                                                        FADE IN:



EXT. ROBIN HOOD TRAIL - EARLY MORNING



We're FLYING above suburban America, DESCENDING SLOWLY toward

a tree-lined street.
                    LESTER (V.O.)
