FADE IN: EXT. UNDERWATER SOMEWHERE
NELSON
Hey up there! How about some more oxygen?!
BOAT GUY
Okay, okay. But I tell you Mike, we're just about out of
good oxygen.
NELSON
What do you mean, good oxygen?!
BOAT GUY
I mean the fresh oxygen tank's almost empty. You told us to cut corners,
so we did.
NELSON
You shorted us on oxygen? You imbeciles! What's in the other tanks?
BOAT GUY
Well, one has some compressed air from out of our shop and the other
is, well, I really don't know what. We got it from Manny's Helium Works.
He was tossing it out.
NELSON
You fools! Here I sit, tangled in a drag net, almost out of air, and
now I find out I might not even have anything to breathe before long?!
BOAT GUY
Hey Mike. You're wasting air complaining, you know. You want we should
change the air supply? Your tank's just about empty now.
NELSON
What do you think?! Of course change the supply. But don't
use the one from the shop. It might have some bad vapors in it.
BOAT GUY
But Mike! The other one -
NELSON
Do it now! I'm out of air!
BOAT GUY
THE WORKERS ON BOARD THE BOAT SWAP THE USED UP OXYGEN TANK FOR THE TANK THEY GOT FROM MANNY'S.
NELSON
Hey! Hey! What is this stuff?! Hey, I can't -
BOAT GUY
Hey Mike, what's wrong? Mike? Hey fellas, I think Mike's mad and
not talking to us.
