    Chelsea, London.

    Bathroom interior. A man is brushing his teeth looking into a mirror. Pan down to show a Brazilian parrot sitting on the edge of the sink. The parrot is holding a toothbrush in his claws. Parrot nibbles at the toothbrush on the paste. Charles Godsall (the parrot's owner) picks up the parrot (Captain Hook) and they sit down to breakfast together.

    "Charles takes the parrot outside and they climb into a car" - I believe the car is a Healey Tickford saloon.
