INT. GENERIC GAMESTOP – DAY<\/p>\n

STEPHEN and his six-year-old son ELI enter. ELI is instantly captivated by Super Mario Brothers Wi-hee!<\/i> on the Wii next to the door.<\/p>\n

STEPHEN
\nHey, Eli, are you going to stay here by the Wii?<\/center><\/p>\n

ELI
\nLook, I’m moving Mario all around the map!<\/center><\/p>\n

STEPHEN
\nI’ll take that as a yes.<\/center><\/p>\n

STEPHEN wanders over to the Xbox games. He sees that Assassin’s Creed II<\/i> is on sale for half-off. He dithers for a bit before picking it up and taking it to the counter to buy it.<\/p>\n

Behind the counter, GAMESTOP GUY eyes the Assassin’s Creed II<\/i> box and nods. He’s in his early 20s, with slightly scruffy hair and the standard Gamestop polo shirt.<\/p>\n

GAMESTOP GUY
\nHey, good choice. That game’s great.<\/center><\/p>\n

STEPHEN
\nOh, uh. (beat) I guess that’s plenty of awesome, then.<\/center><\/p>\n

STEPHEN pays for the game and shuffles away. He manages to get ELI to stop playing Super Mario Brothers Wi-hee!<\/i> and they exeunt, pursued by a bear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
