INT. PUB. EVENING.

BRIAN, 25, approaches the door of the pub. He carries a guitar on his back and has an overly-styled haircut. He wears a badge on him that says ‘Birthday Boy’. LUCY, 25, is also trying to enter. BRIAN holds the door open for her, smiling.

There is laughter behind him and to his surprise, there are two older versions of himself sat there, creasing themselves - BRIAN 35 and BRIAN 55.

BRIAN 35

Happy birthday, Brian!

BRIAN 55

Happy birthday, Brian!

Brian 25 looks at them, confused.

VOICEOVER

Nobody gives much of a thought for their future selves.

BRIAN 25

I think I need a drink!

The three BRIANS sit down at the bar.

ALL THREE BRIANS

The usual, please, Barbara.

VOICEOVER

Too busy living their lives now

BRIAN 55

I’m busy working!

BRIAN 35

I’m busy working!

BRIAN 25

I’m busy with the band!

BARBARA (landlady)

Whatever we do now will determine our own future. Nobody else is going to do it for us.

BRIAN 65 enters.

BRIAN 65

Boys............

BARBARA (TO CAMERA)

Still, there is help out there.
