SCENE 3
(The entire set has been elaborately decorated for Christmas.)
JOHNNY: I know this may not be where you wanted to spend Christmas,
but this might be the best Christmas I've had in years!
BILLY: I bet you've been kinda lonely.
JOHNNY: Boy, have I! For the longest time, I did a Christmas gift
exchange. Stopped doing it a few years back, though. I kept
getting the same gift every year.
SOPHIE: Johnny, do you have any idea where we are?
JOHNNY: Afraid not.
CHLOE: But, there can't be that many islands out here, can there?
CAPTAIN: Olivia, (pointing at the chart) this is Christmas Island, where we
were. This is the Cruise Ship. And I think … this (points to the
other side of the chart) is us.
CHLOE: We're castaways on an uncharted island?
CAPTAIN: But these islands are legendary. I suspect we've shipwrecked
on one of the fabled "Ice Cream" islands.
OLIVIA: You mean, we're stranded on a dessert island?!
LOGAN: Alright Captain, our shelter is completed! On time, and under
budget!
(The Captain and Billy walk over to the shelter. Logan proudly
stands next to it. When the Captain gets to the shelter, she
reverently touches one board that says, "S.S. Mango.")
LOGAN: Built it completely from the wood from the Mango that washed
up on shore.
CAPTAIN: I'll miss the Mango. She was a strong little boat!
