SCENE V
A dim lantern here and there on the dirt wall is the only light in the tunnel.
CHELSEA: [waves her hand in front of her face] P.U.! This place smells worse than Ariana's room after she's been to Bath and Body Works!
Ariana's only response is to stick her tongue out at Chelsea.
ELLIE: Why would there be an underground passageway on a theme park island?
ALAN: Lord knows we're about to find out.
They've come to an ordinary oak door. Alan opens it slowly.
IAN: Holy.
They all stare in astonishment at what they see before them. A big lab, it's filled with beakers, Bunsen burners, books, and large rolled-up charts.
HANK: This wasn't just a theme park, was it?
AMY: [picks up an empty beaker] What is this place?
ARIANA: [walks into the room] It's a kind of lab for. [reads labels on containers] making deadly chemicals?
Everyone turns and stares at her.
IAN: Uh, what do you mean, 'deadly chemicals'?
ARIANA: NAME OF CHEMICAL TO BE DETERMINED. The most dangerous chemical in the world. It kills-
CHELSEA: Hey, what's this? [walks over to a phone on a desk.a red light is flashing]
ELLIE: Mmm. Push the button and see what happens.
Chelsea presses the button.
MESSAGE: That's it, George. I've had it. No more delays. If you won't get rid of Grant, I will.
The machine BEEPS Everyone turns to Alan, who is pale.
HANK: What in God's name was that all about?
ALAN: [sighs] Jurassic Park. Hammond blames the visitors for the park's failure because Nedry isn't around to blame. Plus, no one endorsed his park.
IAN: I thought even he didn't want to try it again.
ALAN: That's what he thought. But when he really thought about how rich and famous it would make him, he just had to get it. And he couldn't.
JEN: Oh, Alan.
IAN: [to Chelsea] How old is that message?
CHELSEA: [looks at machine display screen] Two weeks old.
SARAH: People have been here recently, just outside two weeks ago.
ELLIE: We have to get off this island before they find us here and kill us all.
Alan is already looking through his bag. Soon he pulls out a satellite phone. He thinks a minute, then dials.
ALAN: Hello? Hello? [turns phone off] Damn battery.
JEN: Who'd you call?
ALAN: Your mother. I couldn't think of anyone better.
Jen rolls her eyes.
ELLIE: Well Alan, it's great about your phone, but we're still stuck.
AMY: No we're not. There's another door over here.
ALAN: [nods] All right, let's go.
SCENE VI
Upon opening the door, the people find themselves going up a wooden staircase and exiting through double cellar-like doors.
HANK: Boy, am I glad to be out of there!
SARAH: Yeah, but now we have to get off this island. That means we have to find some sort of communication with the outside world since [gestures to Alan] Alan's phone is dead.
ELLIE: Maybe we should split up. We can cover more ground that way.
ALAN: [nods grimly] She's right. Chelsea, Jen, Ian, Hank. You come with me. The rest of you go with Ellie. Ellie, be back here at 4:00.
ELLIE: [looks at her watch] Gotcha.
Ellie's group sets off going right, Alan's group going left.
SCENE VII
Ellie's group trudges through the foliage, looking for any signs of buildings.
ARIANA: Um, Ellie? There ARE buildings here, right?
ELLIE: Unless the dinosaurs got them, yes. I remember. [has a funny, faraway look on her face]
SARAH: Well, do you remember where they are?
ELLIE: I'm trying to find the road. We can follow it to the garage where they stored the Explorers. I think it's right-
She is cut off when she runs into a fence.
HANK: Looks like we're on the wrong side.
DAN: How do we get over this fence? Climb it?
ELLIE: [looking up] Looks like we're gonna have to.
ARIANA: Great. I knew I shouldn't have packed my good jeans.
The others look at her already dirty, torn jeans but say nothing; they just exchange a bemused smile. They then turn to the fence and begin climbing.
