SHOT FADES IN and MUSIC FADES IN
Pan across field of beautiful scenery, straight past tent - bird's singing, serene music.
Camera stops panning abruptly and focuses back to tent before zooming in on tent - music changes to upbeat acoustic guitar at this point.

Camera zooms right in to tent before focusing on 'RURAL SUPERHEROES' sign, camera continues around to front of tent where friends are sitting on chairs around table. 
FARMER playing guitar.
NERD sitting awkwardly, looking around, annoyed expression at farmer.
HIPPIE drinking tea noisily, slurping, 'aaahing', clinking tea cups and saucers.

HIPPIE (DOOBIE)

Duuuuude, spare my ears, my soul is crying inside of me. The flowers are weep-

NERD (EUGENE)

-Please stop now, PLEASE! You need to take the register now.

MUSIC stops SUDDENLY.

Sad FARMER.

NERD hands register to FARMER (who sighs heavily).

FARMER (MAC)

Doobie Journey?

DOOBIE puts hand up quite slowly, taking time to register his name.
FARMER looks up from register, sees HIPPIE with hand up and looks down again and ticks name.

FARMER (MAC DONALD)

Eugine Snodgrass?

EUGINE puts hand up quickly and excitedly, waving it around.
FARMER looks up from register, sees NERD with hand up and looks down again and ticks name.

FARMER (MAC DONALD)

Mac Donald? …Present.

Y’all here, as solid as the ground we stand on.

FARMER nods head and ticks name, chuckling to himself.

Phone rings in NERD'S pocket.

NERD hesitates before realising it's his phone ringing.  He is shocked, happy and puzzled at the same time and pulls phone out of pocket, after frantically searching them all.

NERD (EUGINE)

What’s it doing?! Why’s it doing that?! IT NEVER DOES THAT!

NERD SHOWS DISTRESS AND EXCITEMENT

HIPPIE TAKES PHONE OFF NERD ANGRILY, glaring at NERD.

EVERYBODY LOOKS ON.

HIPPIE ANSWERS PHONE VERY SLOWLY (builds tension) AND PUTS PHONE TO EAR,
PHONE RINGS FOR A LONG TIME before HIPPIE finally answers:

HIPPIE (DOOBIE)

Heeeeeeeeey man, what’s up, what’s down?

….

Uh-oh.

….

Oh.

HIPPIE PUTS PHONE DOWN WITH EXTREMELY WORRIED LOOK ON FACE.

CUT TO BLACK.
