2. EXT. BUSY CITY STREET. DAY.
A busy, lively city street with lots of people walking up
and down the streets, lots of cars and buses passing. Crowds
of people are seen walking quickly through streets, in front
of skyscrapers and tall buildings. Traffic lights turns
green with a red London bus passing.
A pair of 70’s platform shoes, polished perfectly wander
down the street.
(The city heaves and huffs, It’s alive)
A pair of smart, Grey, long trousers can be seen they belong
to the 70’s shoes.
A red leather jacket belonging to the trousers confidently
swaggers.
Mercury wears a long, red leather jacket, still walking
along the busy lively city street.
Mercury passes a part of the Busy Lively city Street.
Mercury’s face, adolescent looking, short mustache, hair
curly and short, looking in the distance without any real
emotion. He’s walking calmly and confidently.
Mercury passes a jeweler’s shop window and gazes inside and
his reflection and the jewelery on display
Two males modernly dressed in a hoodie and jeans walking
past Mercury see him and start to discretely gossip and
laugh about him, Mercury confidently carries on walking.

screen. Terry answers the call.
TERRY
Hello?
MERCURY
Yo! Who’s the cat that won’t cop

Terry then replies.

TERRY

Mercury replies in a slower and firmer tone.
MERCURY
Who’s the cat that won’t cop out
When there’s danger all about?
TERRY
John what are you talking about?
Just hurry up or we’ll be late!
Terry hangs up the phone. Mercury starts to arrive at the
cafe. Mercury is walking towards Terry. Terry passes the
coffee cup to Mercury and gives him a disparaging look.
TERRY
Hey! Its not fancy dress every day
of the week.
MERCURY
The old me is dead, this is the new
me, Mercury. Lets jiggy.
The two boys walk of into the distance.
