PANEL 1

SCENE: Bay and Stripes are sitting on the floor. Bay is holding Mom's smartphone.
BAY: "Mom gave me her phone while she works. What should I ask it?"

PANEL 2

SCENE: Close up on Stripes.
ACTION: He has his arms crossed and his nose in the air, looking proud and deeply principled.
STRIPES: "AI is against my principles. It'll never replace Raccoon Intelligence."

PANEL 3

SCENE: Medium shot on both characters.
ACTION: Bay has a thoughtful and slightly mischievous look on his face. Perhaps he’s looking back down at the phone or at Stripes.
BAY: "I heard there's an uncensored AI that will answer any question."

PANEL 4

SCENE: Close up on Stripes. His principled posture has collapsed.
ACTION: He now leans in conspiratorially, his eyes wide with greedy, opportunistic glee.
STRIPES: "Oh! Ask how to open the city’s new trash cans!"
