[The woods are quiet, but then there's an explosion of leaves as one kid, black hair, green eyes, flings himself on a pile of leaves. It's really obvious he's unsupervised. What's less obvious is that he kind of snuck out.

He goes again - run, jump, leaves everywhere, and then laughing, but that's when he notices the recording]

Hey, what's this-

Is this like a video camera?

[He peers into the lens]

Hi, my name is Derek.

[Another pause, and now he's got a slightly more serious face]

Mom, if you're watching, I tried to wait for you, I really did.

Yeah? [ The excitement isn't exaggerated as much as it probably should be. ] It's been a while since my last pile, but I'm sure I can remember how it's done.

[ Standing in line with the pile. ] On three?

One. Two. Three!

[And Derek flings himself into the leaves]

[ Clint's right there with him, throwing caution to the wind as he lands on the heap, scattering leaves up all around him, laughing as goes.

Looking over. ] It's like being five all over again.

I'm not five. I'm eight.

Figured that out for myself, kid. But don't you wanna be five again? It'd be great.
