"And while I personally have not won an Oscar, some of my films have and many of them have been nominated. Not that any of that matters now."
"That might be the first time in history that a Hollywood producer didn't take full credit for something," Gwen remarked. "How very unorthodox of you."
She removed what looked like a PDA from the suitcase and walked over to add it to the existing electronics pile. "Any other prop weapons I ought to know about?" she asked in a low voice, as she passed him. "Swords, sai's, scimitars? What sort of Bollywood project were you working on exactly?"

"Just the guns on this plane," he said, putting on sunglasses and a button up shirt he had waiting for him. "It's a remake of Sholay, the guns... were for another project."
"And I take credit for the things I do," he said, shooting her a look.

"And I take credit for the things I do," he said, shooting her a look.
"Oh, believe me, I never doubted that for a moment," she retorted, with a wry smile. Returning to her seat by the suitcase. "So...any big plans for the day, apart from awaiting rescue?" she inquired of Erik and Ethan.

"Nothing too big," he said, stretching a little bit. "What about you? You're the busy one, always doing something. What's your gameplan for today?"

She shrugged as she neatly folded a dress shirt. "Hadn't given it much thought really. And I certainly don't want Ethan to have to yell at me to slow down again," she replied, throwing a sidelong glance at him.
"Figured I'd do a bit more sorting, check on the water rationing...oh, and I'm supposed to give some sign language lessons to Willo. He wants to be able to communicate with Grace, that young deaf girl. I think it's rather sweet," she mused.

"Well, it didn't take him long, did it?" he said, sitting down accross from Gwen and opening a water bottle. "And slowing down is for those of us whom have breaks."
He had this weird sort of glow about him, something that suggested that he was open to people around him, which, would, in fact, make it the first time anyone from Hollywood would have experenced such a sensation. Outside of the midwest, of course, where stuff like that happens every day.
"Besides, there's only so much waiting I can handle. Maybe that's why I don't wear a watch."

"So...any big plans for the day, apart from awaiting rescue?"
"None as of yet. The hiking party should be back soon, I guess we'll hear news from them soon." he said.
"Hadn't given it much thought really. And I certainly don't want Ethan to have to yell at me to slow down again,"
He chuckled. "Whenever you get yelled at by a teacher, it's usually for a good reason. Unless that teacher is mean and cranky."
He listened to them talk a little, and he kept standing. Eventually, he ran his hand back through his hair, and asked, "Gwen, d'you want to go for a walk? Pass the time 'til the hiking party get back, or find something useful to do."

"So, number one question of the island, if you don't mind answering. Reason for flight?"
"Ah, of course. I was sight-seeing. Boring and ordinary, I know. But truth is better than excitement." he grinned. "And you, my dear? The annual Kate Winslet look-alike ball?"

I laughed. In all honesty, I didn't see the resemblance to Kate Winslet, but I'd given up on arguing it with people. "No, I was just heading back home. I was in Australia, visiting a friend. So wait, you were heading to sight-seeing or returning home from sight-seeing?"

"Returning home from. Australia, lovely place." he said. "And the upside to being around here, well...some beautiful scenery. I'm not just talking about curly-haired beauties, but y'know...trees and stuff."

"Well, it didn't take him long, did it?" Erik said, sitting down across from Gwen and opening a water bottle. "And slowing down is for those of us whom have breaks."
"For goodness' sake, don't tell Willo I said anything about it," she pleaded. "I mean, I find the notion of being smitten with someone after knowing them for only three days a bit ridiculous, but...I think he means well. And our Grace is a good deal stronger and smarter than most people would give her credit for."
"Gwen, d'you want to go for a walk? Pass the time 'til the hiking party get back, or find something useful to do."
Oh, bugger it, she groaned inwardly. Accepting Ethan's invitation would mean slighting Erik, and walking abruptly away from him as she'd already done on several occasions. Not that the aloof intellectual seemed overly sensitive; he just had...a quality that intrigued her. But she owed Ethan for all his kindness and tolerating her multiple breakdowns. She owed him her time and attention.
"Actually, now that you mention it, little Sarah told me she's constructing a magnificent sandcastle that I simply must see," Gwen said, getting to her feet. She gave Erik a look of sincere regret. "We'll talk later," she assured, echoing his own words from the night before.

"My lips are sealed," he said, holding his hand in the air, as if he were talking some imaginary oath.

"'Kay," Erik said, with a tone that suggested he knew he couldn't do anything either way. "I'll hold you to that."

She gave him a departing smile before turning to follow Ethan toward the fuselage.
"So," she began, "another day dawns without a sign of rescue boats or planes on the horizon. People are going to start getting restless. How do we distract them? How do we occupy their time? Charades, sing-alongs, some sort of immunity challenges? What would Gilligan do?"

He laughed. "Still thinking about other people. If it were up to me, we'd throw them bandages, food and a copy of Island Survival for Dummies and then leave them to their own devices."

"I'm serious, Ethan," she said. "You and I both know that the vast majority of people on this beach are not going to be happy with an activities list that consists of gathering food, catching rain and sorting wreckage. I still have a responsibility to keep things more or less civil. What if that transceiver party doesn't return with good news? What if they don't return at all?" she offered, finally giving voice to her fears.

As always, he listened calmly. "Don't worry about it. I know that sounds like an idiotic thing to say, but really, what are you gonna do about it? March into the jungle? There's nothing you or I can do about that now." he said. "So we just concentrate on what's happening right now, making through the next five seconds. Or you're going to go insane with worry and there's no way in hell I'm gonna stick around to make sure your strait jacket is comfortable."
He brushed some hair out of his eyes. "Besides, you and two other people went into that jungle,all three of you returned after an encounter with that thing in the jungle. Isn't Sayid military? And that cop, Ana-Lucia? Don't all of those people have better survival skills then you? No offense, I know you swing from vines and wrestle crocodiles when you go on Holiday to Wales."

"Alright, alright. I get it!" she replied, holding up her hands. "Next time, maybe you can be a bit more subtle..."
She grinned up at him. "Anyway, who told you about my holiday in Wales? I thought I'd sworn everyone to secrecy."

"Next time, maybe you can be a bit more subtle..."
"Yeah, next time I'll bring my sledgehammer."
"Anyway, who told you about my holiday in Wales? I thought I'd sworn everyone to secrecy."
"Personally, I prefer having knife fights with bears in England..."

"Ah, yes. One of the lesser-known Boxing Day traditions," she remarked with a laugh. "A favorite pasttime of Anne Boleyn, if I'm not mistaken. Although nowadays, I believe it's knife fights with former cast members of Big Brother. Huge television ratings grabber."

He laughed. "Yes, I think I have that on my Tivo." he grinned.
