ACT ONE
Kent Brockman delivers the news.
KENT
(chuckling) ...which if true, means death for us all. And now, "Kent's People!" Tonight's inspiring story is about Frank Grimes, a thirty-five-year-old Springfieldianite who's earned everything the hard way, but never let adversity get him down.
We see a young boy in the back seat of a car.
KENT
Abandoned by his parents at age four, Frank never got to go to school.
In fact, Grimes is not in the car, he is stood behind as the car drives off. More pictures accompany the story.
KENT
He spent his childhood years as a delivery boy, delivering toys to more fortunate children. Then, on his eighteenth birthday, he was blown up in a silo explosion.
We see Grimes running into a silo, which then explodes. Cut to Grimes in hospital, bandaged from head to toe.
KENT
During his long recuperation he taught himself to hear and feel pain again. As the years passed, he used his few leisure moments each day to study science by mail. And, last week, Frank Grimes, the man who had to struggle for everything he ever got, received his correspondence school diploma in nuclear physics -- with a minor in determination.
An eagle tries to take the diploma from Grimes, but he fights it off. We see Mr. Burns is watching the show.
BURNS
That's the kind of man I need on my team, Smithers. A real scrapper. A self-made man, like me. Bring this Grimes fellow to me. I want to make him my Executive Vice President.
