Scene 1:
Location: Deserted island.
Scene: In the brush.
LILY WALSH SNYDER ALONE.
>> Lily (shouting to herself): Simon, I don't know what kind of sick game you're playing, but it's not working. So
what's the master plan, huh? Wait till it gets completely dark and then wait till Lily panics? Well, I'm telling you
right now, I don't panic. The only thing that would make me panic was if I thought that I would never get off
this island. And I could tell you right now that Holden probably has the national guard out there looking for me
somewhere, and he's gonna find me. He's gonna land a helicopter and take me home. So all I have to do is
just pretend like it's just a regular camping trip. Right? All your basic survival skills -- just stay -- stay calm. Stay
calm. Keep your eyes open.
[Animal makes sound.]
>> Lily: This is ridiculous. Just stay calm. There's a bright moon out and nothing can hurt us if we can see it.
Right, Simon?
[Animal makes sound.]
>> Lily: Simon, come on. I'm asking you a question. Would you answer me? For crying out loud, would you
answer me, please?
Scene 2:
Scene: In the brush.
LILY WALSH SNYDER ALONE.
>> Lily: Oh, I cannot wait until it rains, because I'm gonna have my shelter here. And Simon's hopefully will be
over there somewhere getting water filled up in his boots. Oh, I can just hear him now. "Oh, take pity on me,
Lily. I'm your mate." Oh, I cannot wait. I hope to never see that "mate" ever again. Hey, stay back. You just
stay back, 'cause I have a weapon, and I'm not afraid to use it.
LILY WALSH SNYDER AND SIMON FRASIER
[Simon returns, shirtless.]
>> Lily: Oh. Oh! Oh, thank goodness you're here, Simon.
>> Simon: Yeah? I thought you said you never wanted to see me again -- "mate."
Scene 3:
Scene: In the brush.
LILY WALSH SNYDER AND SIMON FRAISER.
>> Simon: Look, if ignoring me gives you some kind childish pleasure, go ahead. But please at least drink
some water. Come on, Lily, what are you trying to prove? You're not going to help either one of us if you keel
over from dehydration. Of course, I nearly killed myself trying to get this water, but you don't care about that,
do you? No. What, did you think I was off body surfing, building sand castles? Just let me hold that -
>> Lily: No! No, no, no, I'm fine.
>> Simon: You're not fine, Lily. You're gonna wear yourself out before the end of the first night. Now, please,
just -- just drink some water. Come on. Good. So, are we speaking now? Fine, whatever. Never mind. I'm
gonna gather some wood.
>> Lily: No, no, no, no, no, not here, because I have dibs on this part of the beach.
>> Simon: "Dibs"? What the bloody heck is "dibs"?
>> Lily: Dibs. My space, your space. You can make your own shelter over there.
>> Simon: Look, look, I have gathered this wood for a signal fire, okay? Unless you have "dibs" on some
superior way of attracting attention. No? Look, we need to keep this burning constantly so at night it can be
spotted from the sky, or during the day, someone aboard a plane or aboard a ship might see the smoke.
>> Lily: All right, good. Then, make it a big one.
>> Simon: Don't tell me I did something right. Come on, just take a break, drink some more water. Come on.
Look, at this rate, you aren't gonna last three days. You need to conserve your energy, all right?
>> Lily: I'm gonna last. You know why? Because I have a life back home that most people can't even dream
about. I have a husband that I have adored since I was 15 years old. And I have two gorgeous children, who
are gifts from God. And that's why I'm going to last. Holden, I'm coming home. I promise.
Scene 4:
Scene: By the fire.
LILY WALSH SNYDER AND SIMON FRASIER
>> Simon: If you're gonna get warm, you're gonna have to come a little closer. Oh, yeah, I'm sure it's more
fulfilling over there in the dark, all cold and miserable.
>> Lily: I remember last summer, Luke was so desperate to sleep outside -- not too far from the house, just a
few feet away. So we built him this little tent with an air mattress and sleeping bag. And we had one a few
feet away. So we sang songs and we told scary stories. And then Luke decided it was time for us to go, so
we kissed him and we left him alone in that tent. I couldn't believe it. He climbed right into that sleeping bag.
Such a big boy. He was so grown up, so strong.
>> Simon: Amazing kid.
>> Lily: He lasted 13 minutes. He came out of his tent, and we kissed him and we carried him up to his
room.
>> Simon: Some camping trips are shorter than others.
>> Lily: He was so desperate to sleep under the stars. So the next day I went out and I got him
glow-in-the-dark stars that you put on the ceiling. I bet he's looking at them right now.
>> Simon: I bet he is. Lily, don't go getting yourself all upset, all right?
>> Lily: You don't care.
>> Simon: Come on, of course I care.
>> Lily: No, you don't care. Because if you did care, you wouldn't have lied to me and you wouldn't have
kidnapped me and you wouldn't have put that homicidal sister into my life.
>> Simon: Look, I know there is absolutely nothing I can do to make up --
>> Lily: No, there's not. So don't try.
>> Simon: Just try to keep the fire going, okay? It's our best chance of getting out of here.
LILY WALSH SNYDER ALONE.
>> Lily: Luke, I am looking up to the stars and I'm making a wish for you to be a good boy and just watch over
your little sister and your father. And I love you all so much. Holden, can you hear me? I love you with all my
heart.
[Lily curls up by the fire, crying.]
