FADE IN
[Alex gives brief monologue]
Alex: (Confused) Am I dead? (Exasperated) How many times have I asked that? (Sarcastic)
Another question that I have yet to answer. (Angry) What did she say on the plane? (Confused)
What is this thing on my body? (Confused) Is it a fallen branch? (Rememberance) I faintly
remember seeing trees. (Angry yelling) I'm done with questions!
[Alex walks to CS and lays down in front of Molly]
Molly: (Sobbing) Stupid! Wake up sooner!
Alex: (Hoarse) Molly…
Molly: (Panicked sobs) I'll get help!
[Alex grabs Molly's right leg as she starts to walk to SR]
Alex: (Sad) Please don't leave me Molly.
Molly: (Confused) But your hurt. You need a doctor.
Alex: (Confusion) What did you say on the plane? I have to know.
Molly: (Smiles with a loving and caring expression) I … love you … Alex.
Alex: (Sobbing with happiness) Never leave me, Molly.
[Alex and Molly are now laying on top of each other and kissing like mad]
Molly: (Sarcastic happiness) If we aren't wet with tears yet, it looks like it'll rain soon.
Alex: (Slight embarrassment) Can you carry me? I don't think I can walk.
[Molly hauls Alex's body to UR (How to do this?)]
Cynder: (Heavy breaths) Your heavier than you look. Maybe Sam is right about you needing a diet.
Alex: (Soft, caring tone) Whatever. If you like, you can use me as a cushion.
Molly: (Prominent) Later. I'm going to get food and wood.
[Molly walks off RS]

Molly
[Light shines on Molly (D) and Deer (LC) Light on Molly cuts out and she attacks the deer.]
Molly: (Matter - of - fact) That about does it. Food and firewood. (Apprehensive) Wait. Does Alex have his lighter? If at all, it should be a spark to ignite a fire.
[Molly walks over to UR]
Molly: (Assertive) How are you holding up?
[Alex rises to sit upright against the wall]
Alex: (Sarcastic) Famished.
Molly: (Concerned) Do you have your lighter?
[ALex protrudes a spark onto the firewood, Molly gives a smile and claps]
Molly: (Compassionate) With the state your body's in, it's probably best for you to have something cooked rather than raw.
Alex: (Humble) Sure. I saw a bucket over there. Maybe you can fill it up with some rainwater.
Molly: (Gentle) I love you, Alex. It gives me a sense of purpose that's not for bad intentions.
Alex: (Hoarse) I love you too.
