Scene 1 - Careers lesson
We have a careers teacher asking the students what they want to be when they grow up.
Careers teacher
If you could have any job in the world what would it be?
He asks all the students this in turn. When they get to Montellier he declares
Montellier
I don't have a clue.
Scene 2 - Walking to the chemistry class
all the kids are walking to their next class. Montellier is chatting when he notices his laces are undone so he crouches down to tie them up and his friends and the others walk on. The door next to him opens and a man says to him...
Strange man
Montellier could you pop in here for a moment I have something important to give you.
Montellier looks up and sees two boxes on the table. He get's up and walks in.
Strange man
One of these boxes will remain locked for 25 years. The other one is very important. You have a purpose in this life and without what's in this box you will never be able to achieve that. When you need them you will know.
Montellier approaches the boxes and as he does we the audience see the man begin to fade away.
Montellier
I don't understand and where are you from?
He turns to find that there's no sign of the man any longer
Montellier
What just happened? Am I in a dream? Mind you these boxes are still here
Scene 3 - Chemistry class
All the class are now in the chemistry class except for Montellier
Jimmy
Where's Montellier gone?
Charlotte
She was with us out in the corridor
Ian
Probably went to the loo
Jimmy
I've got an idea. Let's play a trick on her.
Charlotte
Yeah, what you go in mind?
Ian
Look there's a bowl over with the words lucky dip on it. Let's put something in it and fool Montellier into thinking there's prizes in there.
Jimmy
Look, there's some stuff here that we can pour into it.
Charlotte
Brilliant. Let's do it.
Ian grabs it and pours the liquid into the bowl.
Ian
Here everyone, grab a sweet each and make out we won it in the lucky dip
They all grab a sweet each just as she does so Montellier appears
Jimmy
Hi Montellier.
What are those boxes.
Montellier
Oh nothing.
Charlotte
Look we've all won a sweet in the lucky dip over. Go and have a go.
Montellier
Oh excelent
Montellier goes towards the bowl and is just about to dip her hands in when she hears the voice of the stranger "When you need them you will know." She stops and goes back to the box. Opens up and is surprised to find a pair of gloves and puts them on, then goes to the bowl puts her hand in. We hear a burning sound and smoke coming up from the bowl. The teachers spots this, realises the dangerous substance and screams, as he runs to the bowl...
teacher
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
...and is so relieved that Montellier has got on a pair of protective gloves.
teacher
This chemical is extremely dangerous and can burn through metal. Who was behind this trick.
Ian, Charlotte and Jimmy
Us sir we are so sorry
teacher
I'm afraid I need to report this to the head and to your parents.
Montellier, I don't know why you put those gloves but I'm so glad you did.
Scene 4 - Montellier becomes a goalkeeper
we see actuall footage of a famous goalkeeper making saves. interlaced with newspaper articles showing that he's won the ballon d'or. We see the trophy with Montellier's name on it.
So we now turn to news on the Ballon D'or. This year it's been won by the incredible goal keeper Willy Montellier beating off stiff competition from Ronaldo and Messi. His record in goal has been nothing less than extraordinary. And yet, having won this prestigeous award, he has made the shock announcement to retire. In a statement he said "I always planned to leave my playing days while I'm at the absolute top of my game. I am so lucky to be here. When I was in school I had a life changing experience, an intervention by a stranger that saved my hands from being permanently damaged. The same hands that have gifted me this amazing career." when asked about this life changing experience he simply replied "all will be revealed in my autobiography coming soon"
Scene 5 - 25 years later
Montellier has just got back from winning the ballon dor for best footballer in the world and phone goes. He looks down at it and say:-
Montellier
Oh typical, it's my agent chasing up on how I'm getting on with the book. Oh well I better take it.
He answer the call
Montellier
Hi John
Yes it's going really well but I think another two weeks and it'll be finished.
Yep, guaranteed.
Oh just one problem. I can't think of a book title. I know I've tried and tried but I just haven't managed to come up with anything yet.
ok, don't worry you'll be hearing from me very soon.
Montellier puts down the phone.
Montellier
Right, time for some rest.
He hears a strange noise. He follows it into the spare room where he finds the 25 year box making the noise and flashing a light.
He opens it, and in the box he finds a book. He holds it up and it's his autobiography. The title is, Your life is in your hands. The camera goes round to the front and we see her face for the first time and realise it's the same person from the school 25 years earlier.
