Children gather toward an ice cream truck as parents talk. The ice cream truck's jingle is loud. A YOUNG GIRL, around 6-7 years old, in a green t-shirt, purple pants, and a baseball cap, pokes a stick into an anthill on the dried up front lawn of the worn house. She isn't smiling. QUINN (V.O.) When does love stop being love? When the ones we love hurt us most. The kids in front of the ice cream truck get their treats and leave with their parents. A BOY, same age as the girl, walks by the front lawn eating ice cream with a FRIEND of the same age. The friend kicks the mailbox as they stop in front of the house gate as the girl pokes the anthill. BOY That's where the Little Looney and her crazy family live. The boy and his friend call out in a teasing tone. BOY/FRIEND Little Looney! The girl hears. She is visibly hurt by the teasing.
