INT. AN OLDER MARCUS YELLOW AT HIS HOUSE- DAY
Marcus is an old grandfather now. He is walking around his house from the living room to the front door. He is wearing a business suit and old brown loafers. The living room has a brown antique tone to it and looks relatively spotless except for a scrap of paper left from the trash his wife had taken out from their attic.
As Marcus bends over slowly to pick it up he reads “Don’t trust anyone over 25”. He gets a look on his face, the kind that people get when they immediately have a flashback of a memory from the past..
