Abe Zanarkand Rides Again

[1] INTERIOR. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CLASSROOM. DAY.

We see ABE ZANARKAND's steely face. He's clad in a fedora and trench coat. He asks a question and then another. He raises his voice and asks yet another question.

Then we see his foe. Six year old ZACH. Sitting behind a child sized desk. They're in a classroom.

ZACH points out the window, silent, unfazed.

V.O.:

He thwarts my question yet again as he points out the window.

I ask another throwaway question.
