Sampson walks up the the cannon man on the base where Richard is standing. “Hey” he asks.
“Yeah?”
“Do you know why we’re here?”
“Well that’s one of life’s great mysteries isn’t it? Why are we here?” Richard looks up into the sky. “I mean, are we ju…”
“No, I meant why are we sitting in a box canyon fighting a bunch of girls?”
“Oh.” He looks back down at Sampson. “Well our pelican crashed.”
“No you idiot why are we still here?!” He gestures wildly as he talks. “I mean our ship crashed! big whoop! How the heck did that translate into us being stuck here for three months?! And that’s not even the worst part!”
“You can’t get much worse than that.”
“Apparently you can! because you people decided to set up next to the stupid waterfall and let the girls take the beach front property without a fight!”
“Hey the waterfall gives us running water.”
“So?!” He points to the river. “There’s a river flowing right to the other base! From the same waterfall!”
“Well they could have blocked it up.” Richard says defensively.
“They wouldn’t have thought of that! no one in this canyon is smart enough or determined enough to take a shovel and build a dam!”
“Well it wouldn’t work anyway. The water would just build up and flood the base.”
“No it wouldn’t! All we’d need to do would be build a reservoir and use the water! You know what! I’m gonna do it!” He throws down his battle rifle and stomps off to a small makeshift tool shed.
“He’ll get bored and realize he can’t make any progress sooner or later.” Richard then goes back to standing and doing absolutely nothing.
(Just to get things started)
