Bill and Ted's adventures

Until you tell me to stop with writing these little stupid scenes, I'm going to have a bit of fun trying my hand at writing some honest dialogue. I hope you enjoy them!

The scene is a remote deserted island. A couple of trees and some rocks are all that populate the island. Save for two CASTAWAYS. The CASTAWAYS are dressed in rags and appear to have been there a long time.

BILL was a vacuum cleaner salesman on the way to a convention in New Zealand. He is 23 years old and has never spent a minute outside his home city of Detroit.

BILL – Very excitedly
I think I see one!

TED was a 43 year old, balding banker. He too lived in Detroit. His trip to New Zealand was for the express purpose of merging two of the small corporate local banks into a new diverse portfolio account marketing and acquisition firm. He planned to do this by… well he just planned to do it… He actually had no idea how he was going to do it. But his future depended on it.

TED – Bored with the stupid game, rolls eyes
Uh huh…

BILL
Come on Ted, don’t be a spoil sport. Who knows how long we’re going to be stuck here.

TED
I’ve been playing ‘Spot the wave’ now for what? 2 weeks? I’m just not all excited about it anymore.

BILL
Fine then. I’m going for a walk.

TED – Shaking his head
Bill, the island is 15 feet across! Where do you think you’re going to end up? Besides, it’s dinner time.

TED - cuts a banana
Here.

BILL – sits down next to TED
You know… these almost taste like chicken…

TED – dead pan
Shut up, Bill
