Music comes in underneath: 'When does a dream begin'. Mix to a
young airman on an airfield gazing into a WAAF's eyes. Black and
white, soft focus and scratched film to look like a not very good
print of a 40s film. Airman sings.
Airman:
When does a dream begin?
Does it start with a goodnight kiss?
Is it conceived or simply achieved
When does a dream begin?
Is it born in a moment of bliss?
Or is it begun when two hearts are one
When does a dream exist?
The vision of you appears somehow
Impossible to resist
But I'm not imagining seeing you
For who could have dreamed of this?
When does a dream begin?
When reality is dismissed?
Or does it commence when we lose all pretence
When does a dream begin?
(Mix sound to end of signature tune. Halfway through the song
the credits roll superimposed. They read;)
