FADE IN

EXT. LONDON STREET - DAY

From high above the bustling city, the
foreboding calm of a breezy Alfred
Hitchcock day looms. Slowly
approaching street level, the sights
and sounds of a busy, bright London
day fill the eyes and ears.

At length, a lone sheet of paper - an
Uncyclopedia article about a great
English suspense film maker - flaps
in the breeze, stuck temporarily in
the damp gutter.

Presently, the wind carries the article
away. It slaps at the face of a busy
London commuter as he tries in vain to
hail a taxi. He bats at the article in
frustration and it flies away.

        COMMUTER
    Taxi!

He checks his watch.

A young lad tugs at his coat. The
man impatiently brushes him away -
but the lad is persistent.

        COMMUTER
    What is it, boy? I'm late for
a meeting!

        LAD
    Please sir. I wondered if you
have seen an article flying past
in this wind.

        COMMUTER
    A what?
