A sole bottle of pills in a medicine cabinet labelled 'Morning Glory- Instant over indulgence cure with 24 hour breath freshness. Now with added tooth auto dental repair'

A bedraggled Tommy looking the worse for wear stares into the mirror of the medicine cabinet

Tommy pops one of the Morning Glory pills

Tommy is freshly awake and his smile shows a row of perfect teeth gleaming

TOMMY: WOW, KOOKY MINTY FRESH

Sfx: KNOCK, KNOCK

Tommy surveys his small room looking like a minimal hotel suite. Having knocked Alexi enters

ALEXI: MORNING TOMMY, EVERYTHING OK

TOMMY: ERHH

ALEXI: OH THAT AMNESIA'LL WEAR OFF SOON, I SEE YOU'VE POPPED, AND THE BED'S HOSPITAL CORNERED ITSELF, JUST GRAB YOUR CLOTHES AND I'LL WAIT FOR YOU OUTSIDE

Tommy picks up a ball of cloths

TOMMY: WHAT'S THIS

The cloths turn into a T-shirt that unfolds perfectly into a well ironed shape

TOMMY: WOW THAT'S SOME IRONING WATER

Tommy pulls on the T-shirt it fits snuggly

TOMMY: I DON'T REMEMBER BEING OFF THE SHELF BEFORE

Tommy steps into his shoes, they radiate and pull themselves tight

TOMMY: THESE DON'T SMELL LIKE MINE

TOMMY: I'M CONFUSED

ALEXI: EAT SOMETHING THAT ALWAYS HELPS ME

TOMMY: WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?

They drive around an astonishingly beautiful town that resembles classical architecture

TOMMY: WOW I THINK I'VE SEEN THIS PLACE ON TV

ALEXI: WE DON'T HAVE BROCHURES, AND WE DON'T ENCOURAGE VISITORS, AND THOSE WE DO GET RARELY LEAVE

They have pulled up by a newsstand and they put on head gear from newsstand

ALEXI: THIS'LL HELP YOU CATCH UP. YOU BETTER SELECT THE 1 MINUTE YEAR IN SUMMARY, AND THE FIRST 100 LECTURES ON ESPERANTO

TOMMY: AH SO THE BRAINWASHING STARTS

Tommy gulps a chocolate bar

ALEXI: WE ONLY EAT FOR ENJOYMENT, THE SOCIAL ASPECTS, THESE BARS PROVIDE OUR DAILY SUPPLEMENTS

Tommy and Alexi stare at a perpetual machine (like Escher's waterfall)

ALEXI: THIS IS OUR SELF SUSTAINING POWER STATION, COMPLETELY GREEN OR BLUE DEPENDING ON THE SUN.

TOMMY: DOES IT WORK?

ALEXI: WELL IT DID STOP ONCE BUT THAT WAS DUE TO THE WHITE WATER RAFTERS ANNUAL OUTING

PAGE 4

Tommy and Alexi stand as a castle and a bishop on a chess board, a horse is between them and a few pawn heads can be seen in front of them

TOMMY: AS MUCH AS I APPRECIATE THE FOOD, SIGHTS AND SPORTS I FEEL I SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING MORE RESPONSIBLE.

Tommy and Alexi leave the chess game after being taken, and stroll down a sea front, the sea can be seen with a very large beach ball taking an interest in aboat

TOMMY: I DON'T SEEM TO REMEMBERING WHERE I AM OR HOW I GOT HERE

ALEXI: I CAN TAKE YOU TO SEE SOME ONE IN CHARGE

The pair walk up a hill to an observatory type building on a hill

ALEXI: THAT'S THE PLACE

TOMMY: WHO IS THIS ONE IN CHARGE

ALEXI: I'LL GIVE YOU SIX GUESSES WHO IS THE ONE

TOMMY: ARE YOU COMING TWO?

Inside the building Alexi shows A mirror to Tommy who is looking at his own reflection

ALEXI: THERE YOU GO

ALEXI: SO WHAT GAVE IT AWAY

TOMMY: NO I MEAN ALL I CAN SEE IS ME

ALEXI: I KNEW CUTTING THE FRAME COUNT FORM 26 TO 17 WAS A MISTAKE
