MS. QUINCY
What seems to be the problem, ma'am?

The principal sighs, turning away from her computer, which dispels the projections.

PRINCIPAL
Flicker was caught with a holo-fig during recess. That's the third time this month alone. Surely you can understand our concern.

Ms. Quincy looks at her daughter witheringly.

MS. QUINCY
I am so sorry. I'll take the remote away from her -

PRINCIPAL
(sternly)
If it happens again, we'll have to expel her.

MS. QUINCY
(quietly)
I know. Thank you, ma'am.

She stands and Flicker hurries to follow as her mother strides from the office.

CUT TO:

EXT. FLICKER'S SCHOOL

Ms. Quincy speeds out of the school with Flicker rushing after her.
