Fortunately, some others were harder to convince.
FADE IN:
INTERIOR – MISERY KID’S BEDROOM – NIGHT
The Snake comes tapping at the Misery Kid’s window with its tongue. No response from the Kid, who continues sleeping. More tapping from the Snake. Still no response from the Kid. The Snake bangs his head hard on the window three times. The Kid bolts upright, eyes half-open, hair going in about one million directions. The Snake bobs back and forth.
SNAKE
Use the razor blade. Use it tonight.
The Kid stares at the Snake for several moments.
MISERY KID
Snakes are gay.
The Kid slams back down onto his bed, pulls the pillow over his head. The Snake shakes its head and slowly slithers away.
