Nicholas and Max sit in the studio.

Maxwell is in his mid-teens, with short light brown hair. He wears a black suit, white shirt and black tie.

Nicholas is in his early teens, with short curly brown hair and wears a blue suit, a blue tie and a pale blue shirt.

A man slams a clapperboard.

(music plays)

The Big Top Academy logo appears with the caption "Big Top Bulletin."

Max says HI.
I'M MAXWELL RAYNE.
IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER EDITION
OF THE BIG TOP ACADEMY GREAT
DEBATE.
TODAY'S GREAT DEBATE TOPIC;
EARLY BIRD VS.
NIGHT OWL.
NICHOLAS YOU HAVE THE FLOOR OR
COUCH.

Nicholas says THANKS MAX.
UM...I'M A NIGHT OWL FOR SURE.
I LOVE STAYING UP LATE PAST MY
BEDTIME.
IT'S THE BEST TIME TO READ OR
WRITE OR PLAY VIDEO GAMES.
I MEAN, IT'S LIKE A WHOLE OTHER
WORLD STARTS AT NIGHT.
WHEN EVERYONE ELSE IS SLEEPING
I'M STILL UP THINKING ABOUT
STUFF.

Max murmurs "It's crazy."

Nicholas says I MEAN, IT GIVES ME A CHANCE TO
BE ALONE WITH MY THOUGHTS OR
SEND SECRET LATE NIGHT TEXT
MESSAGES TO MY FRIENDS.
IN CLOSING, I LIKE STAYING UP
BECAUSE IT'S FUN.
MAX?

Max says THANKS NICHOLAS.
I LIKE BEING AN EARLY BIRD
BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
TO GET A GOOD AMOUNT OF SLEEP SO
YOU CAN WAKE UP EVERY MORNING
REFRESHED AND READY TO START
YOUR DAY.

As Max talks, Nicholas leans on the couch and falls asleep.

Max says AS THE FAMOUS SAYING GOES; EARLY
TO BED EARLY TO RISE.
NICHOLAS?

Nicholas snores.

Max says HELLO? SCORE ONE FOR TEAM EARLY BIRD.

Max covers him with a blanket and says LET HIM SLEEP.
TURN THE LIGHTS OFF.
I'M MAXWELL RAYNE.
HAVE A PLEASANT EVENING OR
WHATEVER.
SSSHHHH.
