11. Martin
Will ya shut up about the donuts, were stranded on this stupid
Island, millions of miles away from civilization,no shipping

ing each other
Sam
We’ll if anyone is going to be eaten... it’s gonna be you
Martin
Sam that is ridiculous, anyway your the one whose pure fat, so
it would make more sense if you got eaten
Sam
Oh yeah well...... your probably right....... but wait we
can’t just eat each other
Martin
Your right sam, we need salt,pepper,ketchup, and a fire to
roast us on.....he he he............
12. Sam
That’s not what I meant... there must be some food, like coco-
nuts.. or oranges

kind of fruit that we can suck or something, i’ll keep watch for
some ships.

Hello! My name is Joe Michael Connolly. I've been stranded
on this island for 25 years by my rocks. This island is forbid-
den for people other then the military, its been wiped off the
map as long as i have lived, i am the legal protecter of this
island, lucky for you i know your not an enemy soldier because i
saw your american plane crash.
Martin
(In a whisper) Should we trust this guy.
Sam
(In whisper) I don’t know, maybe we should just go with him. He
must have food and water... he’s been surviving here for 25
years by his rocks.
Martin
Ok.... Well go with you for now but i can assure you
that we are going to be rescued sooner or later.
14. Joe
You ain't gettin'''' of this island, its been wiped
of the radar for 25 years like i said.
Martin
Ok... whatever.
Sam(worried)
Ummmmmmm...ok...uhh...hmm, well... where do you get your
food and water from.
Joe
There is a fresh water pond a few miles away and
there are some fish in the pond and there also is some wild ani-
mals scurrying around like rabbits and squirrels.
Martin
Ok...We'll good luck with that, me and Sam will be at
the beach looking for the rescue planes
Martin and Sam leave and Joe shakes his head
10 Days Later
Martin and Sam are still on the Beach
SAM
Were gonna have to live with “Grandpa Joe” over there
Shot goes to Joe’s smiling face
Martin
I guess your right, at least he knows how to survive, even if he
is an old bag.
Shot goes to Sam’s frowning Face.
Martin
Maybe we could still be rescued
15. Scene 9-Goes to Mr. Adams hotel room as he sits at a table
with his head down, and a tear rolling down his eye.
Shot closes in on a newspaper article that has a ti-
tle of “Search for Plane Crash survivors Called Off”, and then
it closes in on a part of the article that say’s “Martin Winters
and Samuel Green,were assumed dead at 10pm last night when the
search was called off.”
Camera all of a sudden zooms quickly out of the hotel
and above the ocean for 10 seconds and then ends on Sam and Mar-
tin with a worried look on their faces.
