EXT. BUS STOP - MIDDAY
Percy and a little girl are the only ones at the bus stop. Percy lights a cigarette.
GIRL
My daddy says cigarettes are bad for you.
PERCY
They are.
GIRL
Then why do you smoke them?
PERCY
Do you like candy?
GIRL
Of course.
A bus arrives.
PERCY
Candy's bad for you.
Percy gets on the bus. The girl withdraws a pack of candy cigarettes from her pocket and puts one in her mouth.
INT. SHRINK'S OFFICE - AFTERNOON
SHRINK
When did you start smoking cigarettes?
PERCY
When I was fourteen.
SHRINK
Uh-huh. And why did you start smoking?
PERCY
I wanted to look like a tough kid.
SHRINK
Were you bullied in school?
PERCY
No. I just liked the image.
Pause.
SHRINK
Did you ever have a fantasy about performing oral sex on a man?
PERCY
No, it never appealed to me.
