Scene 1

The scene opens, modern times, as a split scene between a man and a woman.

The man seems to be in his thirties. His hair brown and wavy. His eyes are dark and gloomy. He wears plain clothes and he has a slight build. He holds the "New York Times" in his hands.

The woman is also in her thirties. She has dirty blonde hair that ends above the middle of her back. Her eyes are a bright, unfaded green. She wears a white tank top that fits loosely on a pair of blue-jeans that have faded over the years. She's reading a local Vegas newspaper.

They both scan the paper, stopping on one single article. They read it aloud.

"Job offer: Experienced Mechanic, Enthusiastic with work, pays well. Take our one-way ship, The Judgment, to Fantasy Island."

Scene 2

It opens with the previous man and woman standing on The Judgment. The ship is fashioned as an old and eerie pirate ship.

The woman looks around. There are only three people she sees on The Judgment. Her expression is complete confusion, when a man approaches her. He wears plain clothes and has dark blue-purple circles under his eyes.

The man: (in disbelief) Emily?

The woman: (confused) Excuse me?

The man: (grabbing her arm) You've come back to me?

The woman: (falters for words) I-I don't believe I know you.

The man: It's me...Lucas, remember? We were going to be married...and then you died.

(There is a slight pause)

The woman: (slightly sarcastic) One question, if I'm this Emily and I in fact died, how am I here?

Lucas: Not sure.

The woman: I'm Kate.

Lucas: (crushed) Oh. Well, what brings you here?

Kate: (slightly cynical) Metal-uh, metal work. (Pause) I'm a mechanic.

Lucas: (excited) Really? Me too!

Kate: (annoyed) Fantastic.

There is a long pause and awkward pause as Kate looks off and Lucas tries to make conversation.

Lucas: I like metal too. They should have made this pirate ship out of metal, lots of it.

Kate: (sarcastic) It would have sunk.

(Lucas thinks for a moment)

Lucas: The Titanic was made of metal.

Kate: (reinforcingly) That is why it sunk.

There is another pause. Kate rolls her eyes and strikes up a conversation.

So what exactly is Fantasy Island?

Lucas: It is a tropical amusement park.

Kate cocks an eyebrow and slowly turns and looks at the scenery. There are glaciers everywhere. The sky is dark and gloomy.

Kate: (questioning disbelief) In an Artic Ocean?

Lucas: (excitedly) Hey! We should hang out together when we get there!

Kate: (put on fake joy) Right!-Now my nightmare's complete.

Lucas: (pause) So...where are you from?

Kate: (sighs) Nevada. I grew up in Vegas.

Lucas: That's cool.

Kate: (suddenly) Oh, look, we're here. It was nice meeting you, I'll-

Lucas: (cutting her off) I'm coming with you, remember?

Kate: (annoyed) Right.

Kate and Lucas get off the Judgment and walk down the dock-exiting the stag at the right and re-entering at the left.
