CHLOE: So how long before you think they'll realize we're missing?
TRENT: Well, I can assure you that by seven o'clock on Christmas Eve,
they'll know something's wrong.
LOGAN: What's so special about that?
JESSICA: That's when the big Christmas Show on the Yuletide is
supposed to start. (as she introduces characters, they raise their
hands) Emma, Sophie and Trent are actors and musicians, and
the stars of our Christmas Show.
CAPTAIN: Don't worry people, you're not gonna miss the show. As soon
as the storm hit, I had Billy send an S.O.S. with our position.
We'll be rescued in no time. Just to be extra-careful, we should
probably make some preparations.
SOPHIE: Hey, this might even give us a little extra time to rehearse for
the Christmas show.
TRENT: Good point, Sophie. We could always use more rehearsal.
CAPTAIN: First, I think we should break up into teams to forage for food,
build shelter and look for supplies. (to Chloe, Mason and Olivia)
What can you three do to help?
CHLOE: I'm Chloe, this is Olivia and Mason. We're firefighters from
Des Moines on Christmas vacation! Or we were.
CAPTAIN: Perfect! I want you three to look for supplies. Wood from the
S.S. Mango likely washed up on the shore … maybe some of
our backpacks and packages too.
JESSICA: Are you sure you don't want the firefighters to forage for
food?
CAPTAIN: Not when we've got musicians. Musicians know what it's like
to be starving.
EMMA, SOPHIE, TRENT: (understanding) We got it.
CAPTAIN: (then, to Jasmine) Who are you?
JASMINE: I'm Jasmine. I'm with the ship's drama troupe.
CAPTAIN: Are you an actor or a musician?
