RICHARD: I have to get the oars! Help me Em! We’re drifting!

[[[He starts paddling towards the oars with his hands. Emmeline joins in. They have already drifted past the edge of the reef. Richard glares at the shark.]]]

RICHARD: Go away! Go away!

[[[Emmeline pauses and looks around.]]]

EMMELINE: Look how far out we are!

[[[The shark continues to circle them. Richard stops paddling and sits back.]]]

RICHARD: I can’t stop this.

[[[They try paddling again, to no avail. Richard puts his head in his hands. They drift away from the island.]]]

[[[Richard and Paddy play with the oar-holders while Emmeline stares into her lap.]]]

[[[Sunset. Richard tries to distract Paddy.]]]

RICHARD: Paddy, look. When it hits the water you can hear it hiss. Look, see. Hear it?

[[[Paddy giggles.]]]

[[[They drift through the night, through the next day...]]]

EMMELINE: I’m thirsty. If only we had some water.
