KAHUNA: I charge this confused young man to your care. Find a job for
him to do that will give him some sense of direction.
SHUBIE: I'll do my best sir.
KAHUNA: Joe, this is Captain Shubie, my deputy. You'll be working for
him now. My assistants, Orchid and Hibiscus, will show you
the ropes. Good luck. Even with your God, you'll need it.
(Kahuna claps twice, and exits)
JOE: (very excited) Wow, Coco. Imagine! I've been here less than a
day, and I already have a job!
COCO: Don't get too excited, Joe. Kahuna doesn't treat his workers
very well. A lot of them say they feel like slaves.
JOE: Well that won't be me, see? I'm gonna be the best worker
they've ever seen!
SHUBIE: (walking up) So, Joe, what can you do?
JOE: (thinking) Hmm. I've been told I interpret dreams really well.
SHUBIE: (mocking) Oh, that's useful. Well, since we don't have any
openings for a dream-interpreter at present, you'll be assigned
a different position on the beach.
JOE: (excited again) Like what? Will I be a VP? A CEO?!
SHUBIE: No. You're a TF.
JOE: What's a TF?
SHUBIE, ORCHID & HIBISCUS: Towel folder!
(music begins to "Dream Job")
SPINNER: And so Joe began the most menial of jobs. But he was way
grateful for his new digs in this strange place, and he started
each day by thanking God.
(Dialog over music at ms. 23.)
SPINNER: Many days went by, and Joe made good on his promise; he was
the most primo worker they'd ever seen!
SHUBIE: Excellent performance, Joe! You've set a towel-folding record.
In recognition of your work, I'm promoting you … to
surfboard-waxer! Carry on!
