Cut to next morning. The four of them are packing up their camp.

BENNY: OKAY. IT’S TWELVE MILES TO THE HOSPITAL. WE CAN MAKE IT BY THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN CAMP IN THE WOODS OVERNIGHT.

BENNY: THEN WE HAVE A WHOLE DAY TO SEARCH THE PLACE.

LILAH: GOOD PLAN. FOR A CHANGE.

BENNY (small): THANKS.

2.

The four of them are walking down a deserted road.

CHONG: SO—JUST SO I’M CLEAR ON THE GREAT MASTER PLAN, WE’RE JUST GOING MORE OR LESS EAST IN THE HOPES OF SEEING THAT PLANE AGAIN. OR SOMEONE WHO SAW IT? OR . . . SOMETHING?

BENNY: PRETTY MUCH.

NIX: YOU HAVE A BETTER PLAN?

3.

Small panel. Chong waves his hands dismissively.

CHONG: NO. ALL MY PLANS WOULD ACTUALLY MAKE SENSE.

LILAH: STOP COMPLAINING.

4.

Big panel. Chong plods along with the others. Little word balloons seem to follow him, getting smaller and smaller.

CHONG: WHO’S COMPLAINING? I’M NOT COMPLAINING.

CHONG: WHAT’S TO COMPLAIN ABOUT?

CHONG: EXCEPT FOR FLEAS.

CHONG: NO TOILET PAPER.

CHONG: NO HOT SHOWERS.

CHONG: ZOMBIES.

CHONG: WILD ANIMALS.

CHONG: MORE ZOMBIES.

CHONG: AND NO TOILET PAPER.

CHONG: DID I MENTION THE COMPLETE LACK OF TOILET PAPER?
