HOSPITAL - DAY A newborn baby swaddled in a blanket, held by her parents. Push in... and ZOOM IN TO HER HEAD. INT. HEADQUARTERS Out of the blackness steps a glowing figure. This is JOY. The room is black except for a bright CONSCIOUSNESS SCREEN. JOY Hmm? In front of Joy is a single large BUTTON. She pushes it. INT. HOSPITAL - CONTINUOUS The baby gurgles and wiggles happily. JOY (V.O.) And there she was... INT. HEADQUARTERS - CONTINUOUS ON THE CONSCIOUSNESS SCREEN: MOM Hello, Riley. DAD Oh look at you. Aren’t you a little bundle of joy?
