Scene Two: Fiji

Truman and Marlon are at the end of an uncompleted bridge, hitting golf balls. Marlon takes a long swig of beer and then obviously holds it up to the hidden camera.

MARLON Mmm. That is a beer.

TRUMAN

You know, I've been thinking about getting out, Marlon.

MARLON

Yeah? Out of what?

TRUMAN

Out of my job. Out of Seahaven. Off this island. Out.

MARLON

Out of your job? What the hell's wrong with your job? You have a great job, Truman. You have a desk job. I'd kill for a desk job.

Marlon hands the golf club to Truman

Here ya go.You should try stocking vending machines for a living.
TRUMAN
No thanks.
MARLON
Now there's excitement.
TRUMAN
Don't you ever get antsy? Itchy feet?
MARLON
Where's there to go?
TRUMAN
Fiji.
MARLON
Where the hell is Fiji? Near Florida?

Truman holds up a golf ball and points to it.

TRUMAN See here?
MARLON
Yeah?
TRUMAN
This is us. And all the way around here, Fiji.
MARLON
Ahh.
TRUMAN
You can't get any further away before you start coming back.You know, there are still islands in Fiji where no human being has ever set foot?

MARLON Whoo. So, when're you gonna go?
TRUMAN
It's not that simple. It takes money, planning. You can't just up and go.
MARLON
Right.
TRUMAN
I'm gonna do it. Don't worry about that. Bonus time's just around the corner.
