In the sub-urban streets of a small town (Fordingbridge) we
see a window of a house in which there are three silhouettes

another of the silhouettes who is evidently angry. After the
muffled arguing the third silhouette confronts the angry one
and accidentally falls into him, BANG
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. ANTHONY’S HOUSE-DARK
ANTHONY a notorious drug kingpin, 21, has just accidentally
killed one of his customers after not being paid on time. The
third man, a boy of 17, Brian, Has just caused ANTHONY to
shoot the customer by tripping into Anthony. He is clearly
very distraught, shocked and upset.
ANTHONY:
What the hell have you done?! That gun was meant there just to
scare him not blow his brains across my living room wall!
BRIAN:
(Panicking) It was accident I swear! I didn’t mean to! No what
going to happen, I can’t go to jail, I don’t want this, I’m
too young! I’m never going to get married, I’m never going to
finish my summer list of books. Oh my God… What’s my mum going
to think? She’s going to (ANOTHNY SLAPS BRIAN)
ANTHONY:
Keep it together! (BRIAN STARTS CRYING) Great you gunna cry
like a girl huh? Man up. We can get through this, I know some
people, we just gotta grab his body, dump it in the car, take
it to (BRIAN STARTS SCREAMING)
BRIAN:
*Screaming*(SUDDEN STOP AND CHANGE OF MUSIC, CHEERY AND NOW
THE VOICE OF BRIAN IS NARRATING)
BRIAN (voiceover narration):
This is me, BRIAN (cut to scene of young BRIAN) well me 6
years ago anyway. I had a pretty normal childhood, born in a
small village called Fordingbridge, lived here my whole life.

2. (MONTAGE OF ALL FOLLIWNG LOCATIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS) Been to
church every Sunday my whole life, always got homework done on
time, played several instruments, loved reading and had the
best mum a boy could ask for. You’re probably asking yourself
right now, how a boy like this could change into the monster
you just saw a few minutes ago, the answer is I didn’t really.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. BRAIN’S ROOM
The scene is now again of an older BRIAN. He is in his room
getting ready to go out (Title saying 7 hours earlier)
BRIAN (voiceover narration):
Being the kind of boy I was didn’t go so well for me in
secondary school, the older boys made fun of me for things
like going to church and being a pro recorder player among
other reasons. So today was the day I was going to turn that
around and finally get some respect. I was going to become a
badass.
BRIAN:
(OPENING FRONT DOOR IN HIS OUTFIT) I’m gunna kill it today.
Sits on his bike (sounds of a motorbike) followed by several
shots that make him seem very cool with accompanying music
that is broken by his bike bell that he then rides off into
the distance
BRIAN (voiceover narration):
This is the story of me, BRIAN: Bona Fide Badass, and the
worst mistake of my entire life.
