RICK:
Listen up. This is Chuck Gieg.
Among the crew -- feature ROBIN WEATHERS, 16, a cherub
with soft puffy cheeks and TERRY LAPCHICK, 17, skinny and
rodent-like.
Robin approaches with a hand extended. He carries a 8x10
photo of a young man in a football uniform.
ROBIN:
I'm Robin.
Chuck regards the photo.
ROBIN:
(flat)
That's my brother. He's dead.
Apprehensively Chuck shakes and retreats to a lower bunk.
Robin tacks up the picture above his bunk. Terry unpacks
in front of one of the lower berths.
A loud "THUD!" turns everyone around. A duffel bag lies
at the bottom of the companionway. A large imposing
figure climbs into the cabin.
This is JOHN GOODALL, 17, over six feet, big and broad.
His hair is slicked back "Dean" style and wears a full
day's growth of bread on his face. Compared to the
others, he looks all man. Everybody clears from his path.
He stops in front of the lower, center bunk (Terry's bunk)
and drops his bag.
JOHN:
I'll take this one.
TERRY:
You probably didn't notice, but this
bunk has been taken.
John just glares at him, then dumps all of Terry's things
onto the blanket on the bunk, gathers it up and tosses it
into the remaining upper berth. Terry watches,
intimidated.
JOHN:
Anybody gotta problem with that?
RICK:
(beat)
Absolutely not.
John climbs into his bunk and closes his eyes. Bill
enters, followed by several adults.
DR. ALICE SHELDRAKE, 30, smart, attractive and tough, is
ship's surgeon and Skipper's wife. Lawford appears with
GEORGE PASCAL, 30's from Brazil, dark, and fit.
BILL:
Alright, listen up. This is Dr.
Alice Sheldrake.
The guys stumble over only half listening.
ALICE:
I'm ship's surgeon. I'm in charge
of aches, pains, biology, math and
science.
BILL:
George Pascal here is ship's cook.
GEORGE:
If you want to keep all your
fingers, stay the hell out of my
galley unless you're invited.
BILL:
Some of you already know Mr.
Lawford.
LAWFORD:
I have been charged with the dubious
task of insuring your literary
education.
Lawford puts a hand on Bill's shoulder.
LAWFORD:
Bill Butler is your first mate. But
don't let his size fool you.
Bill gives a half reluctant wave.
MIKE:
So when the hell do we get to meet
El Capitan?
Snickering.
TERRY:
(aside)
Maybe he's getting his wooden leg
waxed.
Laughter. A sound stops the laughter. Almost on cue, the
sound of slow methodical footsteps, pace the deck above
them. Then a shadow falls across the skylight, blocking
the light. Ominous. They all notice and look up.
LAWFORD:
(mysterious)
You'll meet him. Soon enough.
Dawn glows orange in the skylights above the cabin. The
