PANEL ONE: LUCAS puts his finger into MIKE’s chest as if demanding that he pay close attention.

LUCAS:
Only do it if you want everyone to know what a wuss you are.

PANEL TWO: LUCAS grins evilly as we do a close-up on his face and MIKE’s fearful, sweaty face.

LUCAS:
And you have to say “I’m a big wussy baby” when you do it.

PANEL THREE: LUCAS folds his arms across his chest and steps back. It’s all up to MIKE now.

LUCAS:
The choice is yours.

PANEL FOUR: MIKE looks awkward and submissive; his heart is pounding and he is blushing with the decision he has to make.

MIKE (narr):
My heart was pounding in my chest. I knew this would ruin my reputation forever, but, in that moment, I truly believed I was nothing more than a big wimp.

MIKE:
I…I…

PANEL FIVE: MIKE realizes that this is the truth. He really IS a big wussy baby. His expression is that of someone who has just understood something for the first time.

MIKE:
I am a big wussy baby.

PANEL SIX: MIKE looks down at himself as his bladder lets go in his jeans.

MIKE (narr):
