(ESTABLISHING SHOT: A Key West Airport)
(Cut to the terminal. KIM and RON are getting off the plane)
RON: Hello, paradise!
KIM: If it's not, it's darn close.
RON: It'll be great to relax. I'm gonna lie on the beach and just kick back.
(RUFUS pops out of RON'S pocket)
RUFUS: Relax! Woo!
KIM: Yeah, that'll be nice. I'm gonna go grab a book. I want to catch up on my recreational reading.
RON: Okay. I'm headed for the food court. I'll save you a seat.
(KIM walks off to an airport book shop, while RON heads towards the food court)
(Cut to KIM browsing books in the airport book shop. She selects one and walks to the register, passing a MAN holding a tabloid)
MAN: Frog boy is loose again! He exists, I tell you! He exists! Believe in Frog Boy!
(KIM arrives at the register and hands the book to the CASHIER)
KIM: (Of MAN) He's a bit odd, isn't he?
CASHIER: It's Key West, what can I say?
(KIM pays for the book and walks to the food court)
(RON sits at a table, sharing a naco with RUFUS)
RUFUS: Mmm. Naco!
(RUFUS takes a bite as KIM approaches the table)
RON: Hey, KP. I got you a naco.
KIM: Thanks.
(KIM sits and begins to eat)
RON: So, what book did you get?
KIM: 'Mutation', by Robin Cook.
RON: Ah, a cook book.
(KIM smiles at RON'S joke)
(Cut to the exterior of the airport. KIM and RON walk out and try to flag down a cab)
RON: So, we're going to the beach?
KIM: We're in Florida, it seems like the sensible thing to do.
RON: I've heard that the beaches are awesome here.
KIM: Yeah, and there's a lot of sea life. I plan to snorkel and see what they have here.
RON: I want to go fishing. I love fishing. (RON is discouraged that they haven't gotten a cab yet) Hey, Rufus! Get a cab!
(RUFUS crawls out of RON'S pocket and scampers onto his arm. RUFUS looks up and down the street and whistles loudly. A cab comes to an abrupt stop in front of KIM and RON)
KIM: (Of RUFUS) Is there anything he can't do?
RON: He can program a VCR, he can do anything.
(KIM and RON get in the cab and it pulls away. As it does, a manhole that was underneath the cab opens, and GILL peers out)
(Cut to the beach. KIM lounges on a chair, reading her book. RON carries a surf board and heads towards the water. RON throws the surfboard into the water and jumps on it. It slides out from beneath him and flies into the air. RON falls into the water and is hit on the head when his board comes back down. A SURFER walks by)
SURFER: Ugh, dude, you're supposed to paddle out before you get on the board. (The SURFER walks off into the water)
RON: Oh, yeah, sure. I knew that.
(RON paddles out a ways, and crawls onto his board, careful not to fall. He manages to keep his balance and begins to ride a wave)
RON: All right, if surfing!
(A large wave over comes RON and he whips out. He washes up on the beach with his board beside him, he has a starfish stuck to his face. He pulls it off)
RON: (To himself) Okay, let's try that again.
(RON goes out into the water and repeats what he did. This time, he is able to stay on the board for a while)
RON: (To himself) I think I'm getting the hang of this.
(As RON surfs, he looks to his left, to see what there is. As he does, GILL leaps out of the water and immediately disappears into the water. RON is shocked)
RON: No, no it can't be!
(Because RON is distracted, he whips out again. He washes up on the beach and makes a B-line for KIM)
KIM: Hey, Ron. How's the surfing going?
RON: KP, I saw Gill?
KIM: Who?
RON: Gill! Remember? From when we were stranded at Camp Wanaweep?
KIM: Oh, Gill. But you captured him, remember? He went to the lab to get back to normal.
RON: He must have escaped. I saw him!
KIM: Ron, you're just a little stressed from the past week. Your mind is playing tricks on you. Gill is in the laboratory and he can't get out.
RON: Yeah, I guess you're right. (RON turns to return to his surfing, and sees GILL leap out of the water and dive back in) KIM! There he is again!
KIM(slightly annoyed): The sun must be getting to you. Let's go check into the hotel and get settled. Maybe you should get some rest.
RON: Yes, rest. Good idea.
(They leave. As they do, GILL pops his head out of the water and watches them go. After a moment, he dives back under)
