SON: It’s actually pretty good… 3 VOICE FROM OFF SCENE: STOP RIGHT THERE 4 DAD: Who the hell are you 5 [A man dressed like a sad old Britpop version of the GREEN CROSS CODE MAN has appeared by the car. He says:] I’m BAND REVIVAL SAFETY MAN. 6 BRSM: Your son is currently looking up videos of the Wild Young Youth Band from 30 years ago… 7 BRSM: Their peak-period sound and hey-day good looks are forming a solid image in his young mind. [Show the boy googling the band on a phone - they look young, lean and beautiful] 8 BRSM: Have you considered what will happen to him when the Wild Young Youth Band inevitably… 9 REFORM? [Show empty stage on a news video on the phone screen] News ticker headline: Wild Young Youth Band Comeback Gig 10 [Onto the stage walk the band, old, bald, wrinkly] 11 Show a diagram of the boy’s head and brain. Annotations tell us his YOUNG BRAIN is suffering INSTANT EXISTENTIAL SHOCK by the apprehension of TIME’S CEASELESS MARCH 12 BRSM: Quick, put an artist under 30 on DAD: I DON’T KNOW ANY [ends]
