Act 1
INT. BEDROOM - 18:00
Squatting down, bending at his hips and knees, a nervous PETER slowly lifts up a King size mattress.
PETER (V.O.): Good! I've made it this time!
Recalling.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): A fortnight ago when I opened it without good posture, I got an acute back pain.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I've been doing that occasionally for many years. It was the first time I got pain.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): The pain didn't go away quickly. The additional pain point was ageing.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Resting aside, I used icing. Having quarantined for five days now, I dare to take the risk.
Act 2

From the bed storage area, Peter is taking out guitars.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Today, I've responded to deserving Quora answer requests.
Peter has taken out two acoustic guitars.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I've prepared for my clients' cases.
Another three electric guitars.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I've practised playing the piano and the flute.
Another three electric guitars.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I'm about to practise guitar. Instead of just playing the trampas green SE, and the back and white Hofner, it'd be nice to play others for a change.
Having put the SE and Hofner into the storage space, Peter still sees guitars all over the place.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I haven't touched them for months. Let me check their conditions, tune them up and play them for a while, before re-storing some.
Having tuned a Fender Sunburst Thin Line Telecaster, Peter plays some chords.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): In 2012, I performed my song "Do Good For You & Me" with it at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.
Peter then tunes a Fender Violet Robert Cray Stratocaster.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): In 2013, I performed my song "Special Way" at the open space adjacent to the Hong Kong Cultural Center. Ricky Fung joined me on stage for the first time.
Having played some fingerings with it, Peter checks a Fender Yellow Delux Player Stratocaster.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): In a 2013 industry function, I performed with it. Ricky Fung was in the audience and remarked that my guitar fingering was quite good.
Turning on the guitar amplifier's rhythm as well, Peter plays his music.
PETER (V.O.) : I'm reliving the gone moment, smiling in my heart.
Peter repeats playing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): But those are my old songs. I've been looking for inspirations to compose new ones.
Peter begins improvising some riffs.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): These riffs sound good. But I don't even know the key.
Smiling.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Should I record them right away?
Recalling.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): From the "McCartney 321" episodes, I learned that, the Beatles, having no recording device then, would just remember their new songs.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): If I repeat playing the same riffs with the other guitars, I may be able to remember them.
Peter changes to a Gibson LP Studio Manhattan Midnight Blue.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Although I had to have it fixed soon after buying it, I recorded most of my MVs with it.
Playing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Oh, I can't remember the exact notes I was playing a moment ago.
Peter continues to play, using other guitars.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Actually, I'm greedy. I hope to come up with even better ones. I know I may end up with nothing.
Act 3
INT. BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS
Peter continues playing guitar solo to the beat.
PETER (V.O.): Jamming with myself, I'm having a good time.
Smiling.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Having a good time, nice riffs and songs should come naturally.
Peter begins to sweat.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): When music hits me, I feel no pain - just smile, sweat and repeat.
We continue to hear Peter playing sweet music.
