PAGE 18 (Four panels)

(Note: More Super 8 camera “footage.”)

Panel 1: Barron Jr. has zoomed in on something (possibly make it clearer with a little “ZOOM” in one corner of the panel). It is one of Phoebe’s ankles. The tip of a tentacle has wrapped itself around the ankle.

Panel 2: Phoebe in the middle of being yanked off her feet and dragged under the rail by the pull of the tentacle. Her hands are splayed out forward as she is falling, her sunglasses gone askew.

Phoebe (jagged, panicked balloon) (1): WHOOP!

Translation (1): WHOOP!

Panel 3: View over the rail. Phoebe has been pulled into the sea, her fall throwing up a column of water.

SFX – Phoebe hitting the water (2): SPLASH!

Translation (2): SPLASH!

Panel 4: Phoebe’s head resurfacing briefly as she pulls herself back up above water.

Phoebe (3): Akhhh!

Translation (3): Akhhh!

PAGE 19 (Four panels)

(Note: footage)

Panel 1: Another, smaller column of water on the surface of the sea as Phoebe is jerked back underwater.

SFX – SUBMERGING (1): Fwoosh!

Translation (1): Fwoosh!

Panel 2: A tentacle has emerged above the same surface of the water as in Panel 1. It is swinging around Phoebe’s bikini top, which the beast below has presumable stripped off her. (Indicate with motion lines.)

Panel 3: A spot on the deck of the Yellow Rose, close-up. Phoebe’s bikini top landing on the deck, presumably tossed there by the beast below.

SFX – WET BIKINI TOP LANDING ON DECK (2): Splut!

Translation (2): Splut!

Panel 4: Same as Panel 2, but now it’s the bikini bottom landing next to the top.

SFX – WET BIKINI BOTTOM LANDING (3): Plop!

Translation (3): Plop!

PAGE 20 (Single panel page)

(Note: footage)

Single panel: Wide “shot” showing a certain amount of pandemonium on deck. Barron Sr. and Peony are leaning over the rail, looking horrified at what they see in the water. A little further on, YACHT CREWMAN #1, an African-American man and YACHT CREWMAN #2, a Latino man, both neatly attired in pseudo-naval uniforms, are lowering themselves in a boat over the side as part of a rescue attempt.

Peony (1): My baby! My baby!

Translation (1): La mia ragazza! La mia ragazza!

Barron Sr. (2): God dammit!

Translation (2): Dannazione!

PAGE 17 (Four panels)

(Note: More Super 8 camera “footage.”)

Panel 1: Barron Sr. and a WEALTHY FRIEND (another corpulent middle-aged man), both wearing sunglasses, tacky Hawaiian shirts and Bermuda shorts, sitting on deck chairs sipping drinks.

Wealthy Friend (1): President Reagan sure did a number on those air traffic control thugs and their union, eh?

Translation (1): Il presidente Reagan avrà certamente denigrato quei teppisti del controllo del traffico aereo e il loro sindacato, eh?

Barron Sr. (2): Here’s hoping he takes on the coons and the spics next.

Comment (2): “Coons” is a highly derogatory term for African-Americans, “spics” a highly derogatory term for Latino Americans. The use of them in dialog here is to show Petrobux as a nasty racist – something hardly unusual for a man of his social position and geographic origin. Translate them with discretion.

Translation (2): Prossimamente spera di assumere neri e latini.

Panel 2: Wealthy friend is sitting up peering over his sunglasses, while Barron Sr. is waving Barron Jr. and his camera away with a gesture of his hand (indicate with motion lines).

Barron Sr (3): Move along, son. This is grown-up talk.

Translation (3): Vai avanti, figliolo. Questo è un discorso da adulti.

Panel 3: Phoebe is in her bikini, leaning slightly backwards with her hands on the rail, looking forward, enjoying the sun and sea. She is also wearing sunglasses and her body glistens a bit from her having put on sunscreen.

Panel 4: Same as before, but now Phoebe is looking into Barron Jr.’s camera with an admonitory expression.

Phoebe (4): Barron…

Translation (4): Barron…

PAGE 16 (Four panels)

Note: There should be some sort of framing around the panels on this and some succeeding pages to indicate that they’re “footage” taken with Barron Jr.’s Super 8 camera.

Panel 1: Barron Jr.’s hand pushing open a cabin door somewhere below decks on the Yellow Rose.

SUBTITLE (1): Camera footage taken by Barron Jr., son of Barron Sr.

Translation (1): Fotocamera ripresa da Barron Jr., figlio di Barron Sr.

Panel 2: We see past the door into the interior of a cabin. Phoebe, evidently surprised while changing into a bikini, is holding her as-yet-unfastened bikini top over her breasts with one arm, while charging forward and reaching for the door with her other. She wears an appropriately angry expression.

Phoebe (2): Get out of here, you little pervert!

Translation (2): Vattene da qui, piccolo pervertito!

Panel 3: View of a gangway, leading up to the deck.

Panel 4: View off the deck of the Yellow Rose. We can see the rail on the side of the deck, beyond that the ocean, and beyond that in the distance the trees and hills of the Island of Motofupo.
