Setting, interior bedroom at night.

Silent Sketch :

Mom puts Palm on table. Goes off somewhere. Kid takes remote and reprograms Robot and runs off. Mom comes back and puts drink on tray on robot. She then turns attention to a book. Cut to scene where kid is in bedroom. He has the remote and robot wheels in drinks. Then mom appears at the door. Maybe says "Billy!"

Camera focuses on the back of BILLY, 12-year-old mischievous teenager, who is hunched over something at his desk. His 34-year-old mother walks in and looks at him suspiciously.

Verbal Sketch :

MOTHER
Billy? Have you seen my Palm Pilot?

BILLY
Uh...no mom.

Camera has panned around to view the kid putting in the last touches on his palm pilot robot kit. Cut to a little while later with mother in family room still looking...

MOTHER
I KNOW I left it in here somewhere.

She passes by and exits. We see the teenager laying back on the couch watching TV very lazily with his buddy Lyle.

LYLE
Hey Billy, you got anything to drink?

BILLY
Yeah sure.

Billy presses a button on his own Palm Pilot and the remote control rolling robot kit rolls in with a little tray perched on top with two sodas

LYLE (very nonchalant)
Cool.
