EXT. KROON LAKE - AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER
Josh is still on his little raft but now he's playing Ben's
PSP with a half eaten sandwich on his lap.
Ben and Sarah (now wrapped in a towel) are at the back of the
pontoon now sitting at a small oval table in the corner
laughing and having a good time.
A quarter is spinning on the table and Sarah flicks it to
keep it spinning.
Ben attempts to do the same thing but sends the quarter
flying across the boat.
SARAH HAWKINS
Wow, four in a row. You really suck
at this.
BENJAMIN CROWE
Thanks.
SARAH HAWKINS
That's the last beer too, looks
like it's just about time to crack
open that vodka.
BENJAMIN CROWE
Why do I get the feeling you've
done this a few times?
SARAH HAWKINS
Of course I have. I am in college
now after all.
BENJAMIN CROWE
Oh, so I'm being hustled?
SARAH HAWKINS
Damn straight. Now stop whining and
start drinking.
Ben shotguns the beer while Sarah looks for the quarter.
She comes back as Ben is tossing the empty into the cooler
with the other ones.
SARAH HAWKINS
I'll tell you what. I'll do two
shots just to make things fair.
BENJAMIN CROWE
Hey, I don't need your charity,
besides, when I make a comeback and
beat you I want it to be a clean
victory.
SARAH HAWKINS
Well first of all, you're not gonna
beat me. You couldn't even hit it
sober and now you've got a pretty
decent buzz going. A couple shots
and you're as good as done. And
secondly I wanna get drunk and
that's just not gonna happen
playing by the rules.
Sarah sets up the two shot glasses, fills them both, and
downs them without hesitation.
BENJAMIN CROWE
Ya know, I never would have thought
of you as a party girl.
SARAH HAWKINS
Why not?
BENJAMIN CROWE
I don't know. I guess if I didn't
know you I'd probly think
different. I mean, pretty, young,
blonde college girls, that's pretty
much all they do, right?
SARAH HAWKINS
When we're not sleeping with our
professors to get good grades.
(they both laugh a little)
You really think I'm pretty?
Ben turns beet red and Sarah just laughs at him as she sets
the quarter up again.
SARAH HAWKINS
Ready?
BENJAMIN CROWE
Go for it.
Sarah starts the quarter spinning only to have Ben flick it
off the table again.
BENJAMIN CROWE
God damn it!
SARAH HAWKINS
(through laughter)
Wow, you really are pathetic.
BENJAMIN CROWE
Yes I am.
Sarah opens the vodka bottle again and sets up two shots.
SARAH HAWKINS
Here we go.
They both down their shots when a loud thud emanates from the
front of the boat.
BENJAMIN CROWE
Did we just hit something?
SARAH HAWKINS
We're not moving.
Ben gets up to investigate and finds an over turned paddle
boat alongside the pontoon.
BENJAMIN CROWE
What the fuck?
SARAH HAWKINS
(pouring herself another
shot)
What is it?
BENJAMIN CROWE
A paddle boat.
She downs her shot.
SARAH HAWKINS
Is it empty?
BENJAMIN CROWE
Yeah, it's upsidedown.
Ben reaches out for the paddle boat when suddenly a hand
reaches back from the lake and grabs him by the wrist, nearly
pulling him over the side.
BENJAMIN CROWE
Holy shit!
SARAH HAWKINS
(full of sarcasm)
Ha, ha, ha, very funny.
BENJAMIN CROWE
There's someone underneath it!
Sarah gets up and heads over to Ben as he tries to pull the
person out of the water.
SARAH HAWKINS
Holy Shit!
Sarah reaches over and grabs the person's arm and helps Ben
pull.
They both pull hard until the person's head is above water
revealing it to be a partially rotted and disfigured Zombie.
The Zombie pulls itself up trying to get it's mouth around
Ben and Sarah's hands.
They both scream and step back as they release the zombie's
arms.
SARAH HAWKINS
Was that a dead body?
BENJAMIN CROWE
It couldn't have been, it was
moving.
SARAH HAWKINS
Well than what the hell was it?
BENJAMIN CROWE
I'm more worried about where it
went. I think it might be under the
boat but I can't tell.
Ben and Sarah turn to Kyle who's completely oblivious to what
just happened.
BENJAMIN CROWE
We should probly pull him in and
head back to the cabin.
SARAH HAWKINS
Yeah.
Ben heads to the back and starts pulling Kyle towards the
boat.
KYLE HAWKINS
What's going on?
BENJAMIN CROWE
We're gonna head back in.
KYLE HAWKINS
But I like it out here.
BENJAMIN CROWE
I know, but it's getting dark and
our Dads will probly have dinner
ready soon.
Kyle is clearly disappointed.
BENJAMIN CROWE (cont'd)
We'll come back out tomorrow.
Before Kyle can respond a decayed hand reaches out of the
water and grabs the rope.
