Rat Season. (Metro Exodus)

Oliver Pen.  

Page 1. (5 Panels)

Panel 1. We are looking from a side view of a mutant rat and Oliver. The pair of them are arguing. This should reference the classic Looney tunes, duck/rabbit season.

C/OLIVER: Rat season.

RAT: Mma aagh*

C/OLIVER: RAT SEASON!

RAT: MMAH AAGH**

C/OLIVER: RRRAAATTT SSEEAASSOONN!!!

RAT: Bba aagh***

C/OLIVER: Bat season? Pfft.  

CAP: *Man season. (The cap translates from the rat)

        **MAN SEASON.

        ***Bat season.

Panel 2. We Oliver with his hands on his hips, the expression and body language should be that of ‘yeah, prove it!’

C/OLIVER: Oh yeah, well where is this big bad bat? (The ‘big, bat can grow in size)

Panel 3. Still looking at Oliver except his facial expression is looking at us (the viewer) in a terrified like state and his body slumps like there is no point in arguing with Mother Nature. We only see a masculine body of the bat

SFX: THUD.

Panel 4. Now the bat has his big claw around Oliver’s neck. Oliver is holding up a sign saying “cripe.”

Panel 5. We are looking from the ground. We see the rat with a sinister grin on his face. As the rat is looking up, we see a silhouette of the bat and Oliver in the sky.

C/OLIVER: AAAAAAAHHHHHH!
