COPY:
Open on STEVEN walking through a house party looking for a bathroom.
He walks through the wrong door and is stopped by a guy who holds up a joint and offers him a hit.
GUY: Want a hit?
Steven stops what he’s doing, and we see a devil pop up on his left shoulder.
DEVIL: C’mon, smoke it!
Cut to the requisite Angel popping up on his right shoulder.
ANGEL: Oh heavens no!
Then on the left shoulder A stoner chick pops up.
Stoner Chick: Dude, it’ll only make you a little stupid.
Then on the right shoulder an astronaut, in full space gear and helmet, pops up.
ASTRONAUT: You’ll ruin your future champ!
Then on the left shoulder a pizza delivery man in his late 30s pops up.
PIZZA DELIVERY BOY-MAN: Hey, I turned out okay, man.
Then 4 of his teammates, in uniform, from the basketball team pop up on his right shoulder.
TEAM: What about the team?
Then Shakespeare pops up in front of them.
SHAKESPEARE: This will not get thee into a good school.
Then a 60s Flower-child type woman in her 50s with a smoker’s rasp pops up on the left shoulder.
FLOWER-CHILD: Chill-lax. Cough-cough.
Then his mom and dad pop up on his right shoulder.
FATHER: Do you enjoy making your mother cry?
We then cut to a shot where we can see all the people crowded on STEVEN’s shoulders arguing over what he should do.
VO: The only voice that matters is yours.
Cut to the GUY offering up the joint.
GUY: So, do you want a hit or not?
STEVEN: Nah, I’m good.
