Panel 1 : Int. Apartment – Day

Kevin stands in his apartment, wearing teal shorts, revealing his skinny, pale legs. His bird, standing on a nearby table, leans over in interest.

Bird: What’s with the shorts? You never wear shorts
Kevin: I’m going to a BBQ and it’s too hot out for pants.

Panel 2 : Int. Apartment – Continuous

The bird continues.

Bird: Wow. You’re wearing them in public? But people will see your bare legs!
Kevin: I know. But I’m sure no one will notice.

Panel 3 : Ext. Field – Later

Kevin is at the BBQ. Some jerk yells to the crowd.

Some Jerk: Hey everyone! The chicken legs we ordered are here!

Panel 4 : Int. Apartment – Later

After the party, Kevin is back home.

Bird: Sooo… how’d it go?
Kevin: Never again.

Kevin sets his shorts on fire with a lighter.
