SETTING: A lake.
(SCENE 1) (Fisherman 1 and Fisherman 2 cast their lines into the lake. Both look bored and are chewing gum.)
Fisherman 1:
Ya reckon' it's gonna rain soon?
Fisherman 2:
I don't rightly know, but I sure hope so. I reckon it's been pretty dry lately.
Fisherman 1:
I reckon.
(A pause, both look bored. The cow is standing in the background.)
Cow:
Mooooo.
(Fisherman 1 is suddenly surprised and starts to pull back on pole.)
Fisherman 1:
I reckon I got myself a fish!
(Both fishermen are very excited.)
Fisherman 2:
I reckon I best get the net then!
(Fisherman 2 gets net ready for Fisherman 1.)
Fisherman 1:
I reckon it's a whop...
(Fisherman 1 lets voice drop as he pulls a very small fish from the lake. Both fishermen look disappointed. Fisherman 2 measures the fish with the tape measure.)
Fisherman 2:
I reckon he's too small. Throw him back.
(Fisherman 1 throws fish into lake. Just as he starts to cast again, Alien 1 and Alien 2 jump from the bushes and gently take Fisherman 1 into the woods where the Alien Leader is waiting.) (SCENE 2) (Aliens speak with tinny, mechanical voices.)
Alien 1:
We caught something sir!
(Aliens 1 and 2 salute their Leader, who is offstage. They show him the little cut-out of Fisherman 1 attached to their fishing device.)
Alien Leader (offstage, with big booming voice):
It's too small. Put it back where you found it.
Alien 2:
But sirrrr...
Aliens 1 and 2:
Oh alright!
(SCENE 3) (Aliens take Fisherman 1 and put him back next to Fisherman 2, who is still fishing. Fisherman 1 quickly shakes his head and looks, spellbound, at Fisherman 2.)
Fisherman 2:
So, ya reckon it's gonna rain?
