SCENE 6: EXT. LOCATION #1- THE LAKE- MORNING The lake has a cold and isolated feel as GEORGE arrives, carrying his equipment. He places it down on the floor, setting it up beside the lake. He sits down on his chair, before putting some bait on his rod, and casting his line into the water. He sits for some period of time, waiting for some action. GEORGE We’re going to catch a big one today! GEORGE laughs to himself, as he feels a slight tug on his rod. GEORGE Here we go! GEORGE’s face turns as the tug on his rod gets more aggressive, pulling him closer to the lake. Suddenly, the rod is thrown into the lake as GEORGE lets go, before an attack, hauling GEORGE into the water as he screams. GEORGE AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
