Synopsis
A couple are wearing themselves out decorating their house. Their neighbour looks at them from his living room. He drinks a bottle of Lucozade, jumps up and sticks the label to his wall, which is covered in Lucozade labels. Tag line: "Why wear yourself out?"

Script
INT. LIVING ROOM. COUPLE’S HOUSE - NIGHT

Two pairs of arms flex. They belong to a couple in their twenties who are decorating. They pause from the work, one of them wiping the sweat from their brow. Across the street an overweight man in his twenties relaxes in his living room in front of the TV wearing his business suit. He looks at the couple.

INT. LIVING ROOM. BUSINESSMAN’S HOUSE – NIGHT

The man smiles to himself, turns away from the window and finishes off his Lucozade. When he has finished it he jumps up from his chair, pulls the label off the Lucozade bottle and lines it up to the wall. He sticks it there and steps back, admiring the wall, covered in Lucozade wrappers. Tagline: “Why wear yourself out?”
