EXT. BUS STOP- DAY
VIRGIL sits alone on a bus stop waiting for his bus. He sits looking confused as if he has just entered a whole new world. A YOUNG MAN in his twenties turns and looks at him.
YOUNG MAN
(speaks in a cockney dialect)
Are you okay son. Looks like your foreign mate. You're a touriss.
VIRGIL
Who me. Oh no no I'm just new to this whole public transport thing that's all. And it's tourist.
YOUNG MAN
What?
VIRGIL
You just pronounced tourist a bit wrong.
YOUNG MAN
Listen ere mate. I've lived in this country for 31 fooking years, an I don't need no golliwog telling me how to say terrorist
VIRGIL
It was tourist
OLD MAN
It doesn't f**king matter you mug.
VIRGIL (VO)
Great, just great. I've just recently been kicked out of my parents' home, forced to face the horrors of London's public transport and now I'm being verbally abused by young Enoch Powell. But the worst of my troubles were just on the horizon.

EXT- A BlOCK OF FLATS ESTABLISHING- DAY
INT- KEITH'S FLAT- DAY
DERK short medium build late teens sits with, KEITH early twenties skinny and tall sit topless on a couch smoking cannabis.
DERK

KEITH
What's so funny?
DERK
Nothing I was just thinking.
KEITH
Bout what?
DERK
Nothing it's the weed talking
KEITH
Then let it speak.
DERK
You really want to know
KEITH
Yeah
DERK pokes his finger in his belly button and digs out some fluff.
DERK
Have you ever wondered if bum-fluff is the same as belly button-fluff?
KEITH
That's a stupid question. And no bruv
DERK
No what?
KEITH
They not the same they're both in two different parts of the body
DERK
Yeah but there still both in the fluff family
KEITH
Except one is bum-fluff and the other is belly button fluff.
DERK
Look. Senegal is in west Africa Somalia is in east Africa they are in two completely different parts of Africa but they are still African.
KEITH
But the thing is that Senegal is Senegal and Somalia is Somalia they two different places.
DERK
Wait Where is Senegal again on my belly or up my bum?
Looks at him strangely then bursts laughing
KEITH
Your crazy bruv. Damn this shit is strong were did you get it?
DERK
I didn't get it I thought you did
KEITH
Nah I found it in your room. Like it was left for us to find it.
DERK
Wait when we find weed on in my room then that means we were suppose to...
They stare at each other for a long period until they both release what they have done.
DERK AND KEITH (IN UNISON)
Oh f...
The shot freezes
VIRGIL (VO)
Aww the two business men. The one on the right is called Derk and I am unfortunately related to him through my biological mother's dead sister.
CUT TO:
EXT: AN ESTATE PLAYGROUND - DAY
Young DERK (8 years old) he is in the middle of a group of sweet crazed kids (8-12 year olds) he is selling sweets and fizzy drinks to them.
VIRGIL (VO)
From a young age young Derk developed an acute sense of salesmanship.
CUT TO:
Its ten years later DERK is in the same playground this time selling drugs instead of sweets. He winks at the camera.
VIRGIL (VO) CONTD
The products he sold changed but funnily enough the age of the costumer didn't.
CUT TO:
The frozen screen shot from before.
VIRGIL (VO)
Now the other hooligan on the right is his partner in crime KILLER K his mum calls him KEITH. He wasn't always a mindless seller of drugs. No he was once like me a talented intellect with a very prospers future as a chemist in front of him.
CUT TO:
INT SCIENCE LABORATY - DAY
A young KEITH (10 years old) is in a lab full of people. He is performing a successful experiment on is chemistry set it impresses the crowd resulting in them clapping in amazement.
VIRGIL (VO)
But when DERK and KEITH paths crossed his career plans took a dramatic turn for the worse.
CUT TO:
INT CRACKHOUSE – NIGHT
KEITH is now ten years older and now looks more rough then before. He is using the same chemistry set but this time using it to create a new mixture of drugs. Crack heads and drug dealers applaud him like the scientists did before.
CUT TO:
Back the frozen shot.
VIRGIL (VO)
In hindsight I wished I stayed clear of those two, for they were the key recipe to the soup which I call, excuse my French my f**ked up life.
