Scene #10

"So why are we snorkeling in this shallow area? I thought the booty would be in a much deeper spot."

"You women are all alike and always have to question everything. Just put on your mask and flippers. When you slide over the side of the boat, try not to splash too much. We don't need to attract sharks with any floundering around. "

"Flounders only have one eye. I have two big brown eyes and can see that there are no sharks down there in that crystal clear water. There aren't any big treasure chests down there either. Wait. Something is casting a shadow down there. It doesn't appear to be the shape of your big oversized head or equally large mouth, Mr. Barkley. "

"If anything is oversized, Miss Kelly Johnson, it's your fanny. You could float forever with your natural born Mae West equipment too."

"Wow. I saw the shadow moving."

"Are you sure it isn't the anchor that you see? Let me swing over to your side and have a peek. Well, if you aren't afraid of me, I will sit next to you and look down there. "

"You don't scare me. I have flattened quite a few men at the office and in college. However, my sailboat is small and your two hundred pound frame could turn us over. We don't need that right now. Slowly swap places with me. I will sit on your side."

"Here I come Miss Karate Kelly. Oh, your suntan lotion smells nice on your warm skin. Need any help getting around this mast?"

"Luke, just slide your gorilla arms and legs away from me. We need to hurry. Others might be on their way here. If you want to find the gold, get over your macho image and see if you remember where the robbers stashed it."

"Something is moving down there. I see a big fish lurking next to a mound of sand on the sea floor. That's it. I remember that the water was a little murky when I fell over in my ultra glide. They must have buried the stolen coins done there. I'm going in. Hand me my mask Sweet Cheeks."

"Don't call me that. It's a good thing that you are splitting this treasure with me because you are getting on my nerves."

"I would rather get on some other parts of ... "

"Save your breath. You are going to need it when you dive. It looks like it might be thirty foot deep. We should have brought proper scuba gear instead of snorkel masks. How much do you think the gold weighs? Can we get it all in one dive? I brought collecting bags in case we need to make several dives. Here's one bag for you. "

"Kelly, if it weighs too much for us to lift, we will need extra time to extract it from the container. I don't know how much time we have before the thieves return for their loot."

"This makes us thieves of the thieves."

"Yeah. I guess it does. If your conscience bothers you tonight and you can't sleep, just give me a call. I can relieve you of your half of the gold."

"Luke. I thought you were going to say that you could relieve me of something else. "

"The thought had occurred to me, but I know how you really feel about me. You can't wait to wrap yourself around me."

"I think we have a problem here. "

"Are you ready to admit that you need me for something other than the money? "

"No Luke. A big boat is approaching and I see men with large rifles standing in the bow."
