#499: Scantron explain

[A classroom scene. There are two desks, and the front one is occupied by the student. Miss Lenhart stands panel right facing the student.]

Miss Lenhart: Okay class, I’ve turned in your exams for grading. Now—

Student: Miss Lenhart?

[View is now simply student in desk and teacher. The student is holding a pencil. Miss Lenhart looks horrified.]

Student: I used a #3 pencil instead of a #2. Will that mess anything up?

Miss Lenhart: You WHAT?

[Miss Lenhart stands leaning forward, covering her face and the back of her head and notably ruffled hair, in front of an off-panel right explosion. The unseen speaker is off-panel right.]

AIEEE

BLAM

Unseen speaker: OH GOD!

[The student and Miss Lenhart are on the left. The student looks shocked, and Miss Lenhart is now covering her face with both hands. The unseen speaker is still off to the right.]

Unseen speaker: Oh god! I’ve never seen so much blood!
