 FADE IN:

EXT. RUNDOWN PIZZA PARLOR - LATE IN THE DAY

On the edges of a town too big to be called a town but too small to be called a city. Warm colors flood the stage in sunset. Its a sight that triggers that fuzzy feeling like a smile from a cute stranger.

STRAIGHT CUT

EXT. ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING IN AN ALLEYWAY - STILL LATE DAY

A peculiar YOUNG MAN stands beside the dumpster, smiling ear to ear, laughing at something said earlier before the director started rolling. He has a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a plastic water bottle in another. the YOUNG MAN brings the flowers to his face, breathing deeply, and then takes a polite sip from his water bottle. He then looks down smiling at his feet, taking another breath before speaking again.

YOUNG MAN

(to the camera)

It's beautiful isn't it? The

luckiest part of it all is that

you, you will soon learn to see

it as I do. We can be here together

dazing, together. Its bliss.

STRAIGHT CUT

INT. TO A FLOWERY FIELD - DAY

A voice over of the YOUNG MAN speaks as the cameras show us clips of a field. 

YOUNG MAN

The secrets to life come in a set of

seven. Like the seven wonders of the

world or the seven deadly sins or what

ever else you would like to compare it

to.

The YOUNG MAN takes a quick break and we watch the flowers. They are beautiful, they don't do anything ugly or rude. They manage to live together without harming or corrupting one another. The Earth smiles on them.

YOUNG MAN

The first secret to life is vanity.

Vanity is bliss the more you love yourself

the easier it is to love one another

The best love there is is self 

love. And I don't mean the empty

one night stand love, although

it is more widely available and

works quickly. To experience a world

as splendid as mine you must

fall madly in love with yourself

YOUNG MAN KNEELS TO SMELL THE FLOWERS

YOUNG MAN

(breathes deeply through his nose)  

I, for one, fell for myself

sophomore year and I still get

butterflies when I look in the mirror.

(laughter)

YOUNG MAN stands back up and brushes the dirt off his knees.

YOUNG MAN

My next tip seems dark, but it

works
