Life is one of those things...

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.

TED – Looking pensive
…smash it against the rocks… again?

BILL
Sure, that would work.

TED
Okay. You sure you want to do it… again?

BILL – completely excited
Yes I do.

BILL takes the coconut and throws it at the rocks. It bounces off and lands 15 feet into the ocean.

TED – rolls eyes
Bill?

BILL – feeling sheepish
I’ll go get it…

TED
No you won’t. Remember last time. And the time before that…

BILL
I’m sure they aren’t there. They had to have left by now.

TED
Bill?

BILL
Yes Ted.

TED
The coconut is gone…

Bill shades his eyes from the sun and looks out over the ocean.

BILL - exasperated
Who’s ever heard of a shark eating coconuts… I mean really!

TED
I think the sharks are fishing for…….. us!

BILL
Why do you think that?

TED
Don’t you think it’s a bit odd that we keep finding freshly husked coconuts? If these coconuts fell from a tree, they would still be covered with their husks.

BILL – screaming out to the ocean
IM NOT COMING OUT THERE. I HOPE YOU CHOKE ON YOUR NUTS!

TED
You tell ‘em Bill.
