JASMINE: Neither. I'm the ship's mime.
CAPTAIN: A mime?! (points to a place behind her) Come stand over here.
(Jasmine does so.)
JASMINE: What do you want me to do, Captain?
CAPTAIN: I really can't think of a thing for a mime to do. Why don't you
… just stand right there.
JASMINE: And do nothing? But Captain, a mime is a terrible thing to
waste! (pause) I can't just do nothing.
CAPTAIN: Oh, yes you can. (mischievously) I just encased you in a glass
box.
(Jasmine suddenly starts to do the "glass-box" mime routine,
obviously trapped.)
LOGAN: Captain, I'm a building contractor. Name's Logan. You give
me the right materials and I'll have a shelter built by nightfall.
CAPTAIN: You'll get 'em.
(Excitement builds as the group starts to feel hope.)
CHLOE: Come on everyone! By tonight, just on the off-chance the
rescuers haven't gotten here yet, we'll have shelter, food, and
water!
(music begins to "Make the Best of It")
SONG: "WE CAN MAKE THE BEST OF IT"

(Several characters pick up items in the bushes one after the
other.)
CAPTAIN: (holds up a fishing net) Look everyone, I found a fishing net! We
can catch all the fish we need!
ALL: Yay!
