EXT. DAY. SEASIDE.
A MAN IS WALKING ON THE PROMENADE WHEN HE SEES A TELESCOPE. HIS FAMILY ARE ON THE BEACH.
MAN: (muttering) I'll have a butchers at this, haven't used one in years.
HE PUTS A COIN IN. HE SCANS THE HORIZON AND THEN THE BEACH. HE SEES HIS WIFE WHO IS STANDING UP AND WAVING.
MAN: (shouting) Hello love!
HE SCANS LEFT AND RIGHT AND FOCUSES AGAIN ON HIS WIFE. SHE APPEARS TO BE DOING SIGN LANGUAGE.
MAN: (muttering) Oh, Give us a clue. (shouting) Three syllables, sounds like!
HE SCANS AWAY AND THEN BACK TO HIS WIFE. SHE IS USING A TOY SPADE IN EACH ARM, SPELLING OUT WORDS USING THE SEMAPHORE ALPHABET.
MAN: (muttering) Ha, she's a real bundle of fun, that girl.
HE AGAIN LOOKS LEFT AND RIGHT BUT FOCUSES ON HIS WIFE. SHE IS USING HER COMPACT MIRROR AND IS OPENING AND CLOSING IT QUICKLY TO INDICATE MORSE CODE.
MAN: (muttering) Where'd I put my shades.
HE SCANS LEFT AND RIGHT THEN TO HIS WIFE. SHE HAS A TOY BUCKET IN HER ARM FULL OF PEBBLES AND APPEARS TO BE SPELLING SOMETHING IN THE SAND WHEN…
MAN: Damn, the money's ran out.
