FADE IN:

INT. BADER'S KITCHEN - MORNING

Teen bader:
(VO) This is the world. 196 million square miles. If I covered 100 square miles every hour for the rest of my life, I'd only see half.

Teen bader:
(VO) My name is bader. You want to know the best part about childhood? At some point, it stops.

Bader (age 9) is making oatmeal for his little sister Shaikha (age 1) while his older brother Slim Z (age 14) and babysitters Annie Baltic (age 22) and Caleb Reynolds (age 23) are having breakfast.

CALEB REYNOLDS:
(looking at Shaikha's oatmeal) Bader, why is the oatmeal lumpy?

SLIM Z:
Yeah, it looks gross.

BADER:
(defensively) I didn't mean to make it lumpy.

ANNIE BALTIC:
(reassuringly) It's okay, Bader. Shaikha doesn't have to eat it if she doesn't want to.

CALEB REYNOLDS:
(grimacing) But we can't throw it away. That's 30 bucks worth of oatmeal.

ANNIE BALTIC:
(smiling) Well, we can always give it to Bader.

Bader looks defeated as Caleb Reynolds chuckles to himself.

TEEN BADER:
(VO) my Legal guardian Caleb Reynolds always knew The price of everything.
