In those days
there was no
king
in Israel;
every man
did what was
right
in his own
eyes.
[Judges 17:6]

"No, My child.
[LONG SILENCE.]

(Grimmace.)
(Squirm.)
(Look away.)
[PATIENTLY WAITING.]

(Frown.)
(Squeeze eyes really hard.)
(Grit teeth, remembering.)
(Grimmace in shame.)
(Long silence.)
"So......eh, ANYWAY.....

(Philosophical shrug.)
"'KING' is just a little

(Clear throat, again.)
"Well."
(Shrug.)
"This...this 'KING' stuff..

[ALL-SEEING GAZE.]
[CALM NOD.]
"I understand,

(Puzzled squint.)
(High-pitched voice.)
"Ya DO?"
(Clear dry throat.)

[ALL-KNOWING NOD.]
"But,
