Etienne: Oh f***! Richard! F***!

Richard: What?

Etienne: I saw a fin!

Richard: What? Are you joking?

Etienne: No, no. A fin!

Richard: OK, a shark fin?

Etienne: I don't know! Just a fin! Over there, about a hundred meters.

Richard: Well, was it big?

Etienne: Yes.

Richard: Well, what the f*** do you expect me to do about it?

Etienne: Nothing! I just thought you should know!

Richard: Well, to be honest, Etienne, I'd rather you hadn't told me!

Etienne: I'm sorry!

Richard: Well, it's a bit f***ing late now, isn't it?

He starts swimming again.

A few strokes later he hears a short sharp scream from Francoise.

ETIENNE.

Francoise! Francoise!

Richard turns around. Francoise is gone. Her plastic bag bobs on the surface. Etienne is frantic, hysterical.

ETIENNE.

(continuing).

She is gone!

RICHARD What happened? Etienne submerges briefly and resurfaces. ETIENNE She just went under the water. She was pulled under. Oh God, I don't see her. RICHARD Was there a shark? Did you see a shark? They both start looking down at their feet and circling frantically in the water. ETIENNE I don't know! I don't know! Oh God. Suddenly Richard screams. Francoise surfaces, pulling up his ankle. She and Etienne laugh at Richard. RICHARD Very funny. You Europeans, you have such a playful sense of humor. No wonder your comedy has conquered the world. He swims on. ETIENNE What about Moliere? RICHARD Oh F*** off. He swims on without looking round.
