SCENE: MISSING – M/M Comedy
Hank and Ian appear to be stranded on a deserted Island.
Ext. A desert Island
Hank and Ian are sitting on the sand.
HANK’s Props needed for this scene. A stick and a popsicle is needed.
HANK: Of all the stupid ideas!
IAN: How was I supposed to know the boat was going to sink?
HANK: For one thing, you could have checked to see if we had enough gas.
IAN: Look, we’re going to be rescued soon so let’s make the best of it.
HANK: Rescued? How do you know?
IAN: Because our parents will realize we’re missing and they’ll send
the Coast Guard out to look for us.
HANK: That’s what everyone on Gilligan’s Island thought, too.
IAN: We’ll just make an SOS sign, and when a plane flies over they’ll see us.
HANK: Okay. You got some rocks and I’ll make the sign.
IAN: (Looking around) There’s no rocks. We’re on a beach.
HANK: How about if we spell it in the sand?
IAN: Good idea (Starts writing in the sand) “Dear Plane, My name is
Ian and my friend’s name is …”
HANK: (Stomping on him writing) You don’t need to write a whole
letter. Just write “Help!”
IAN WRITES HELP IN THE SAND
IAN: I’m hungry.
HANK: Maybe we should look around for some food.
IAN: There are some trees over there. I’ll go look.
HANK: Okay. I’ll stay on the lookout for planes.
IAN EXITS; HENRY CONTINUES WRITING “ HELP” IN THE SAND. AFTER A BEAT,
IAN ENTERS EATING A POPSICLE.
HANK: Where did you get that popsicle?
IAN: There’s a restaurant behind those trees. This nice man just gave
it to me. I hope we get rescued soon. Have you seen any planes?
HANK: (Grabbing the popsicle) Oh brother.
