CHARACTERS:
Tristan, Cory, Essie, Fox?

MOUSEOVER TEXT:
They are small, caffeinated, candied, and unrestrained. They are legion.

PANEL
Tristian looking worried as he walks in, Cory and Essie are behind concessions, apparently building a wall of kids-combo-boxes.
TRISTAN
What the heck is going in in the box-
TRISTAN
What the heck is going on here!?
CORY
Preparations.

PANEL
Tristan looking over the wall while Cory continues to work, Essie making her way around to the floor side.
TRISTAN
It’s just another movie, right?
ESSIE
You don’t understand. It’s a kids movie. A sequel at that... and this is a holiday weekend.

PANEL
Cory is completely hidden by the wall. Tristan looks dumfounded. Essie worriedly addresses Fox who is walking on, looking at a pad.
ESSIE
How’s it look?
FOX
Not good. We’re sold out on both of the main screens though next Tuesday. Starting today.
ESSIE
But the holiday doesn’t start until... Wait...

PANEL
Tristan even more confused. Essie hiding her eyes. Fox with a 1000yd stare.
TRISTAN
Isn’t that... good, though?
FOX
The One-o-clock, three-o-clock, and four-thirty shows were all purchased in full blocks...
ESSIE
No. You don’t mean...
FOX
We’ve got field trips incoming.
