ABE:
May explain the man in the motor boat. He
saw this poor chap and was trying to warn
us.
SWEDEN:
But how did he get here?
ABE:
(shrugs)
By boat, of course. He probably lost it to
the current, as I nearly lost ours.
SWEDEN:
But—look at him.
ABE:
Rig’a and the elements can do strange things to
a corpse, surely. Have you not seen cattle dead
on an open range? By the time nature’s done...
(laughs bitterly)
you’d think aliens themselves had been at them,
harvesting their organs, I suppose!
(stares at the body)
But what on earth do we do? We don’t dare
touch it...this could be a crime-scene, for all
we know.
SWEDEN c***s his head, listening. He rubs at his ear, slaps it.
ABE:
Are those mosquitoes?
SWEDEN:
In this wind, and with all this moving water?
(chuckles mir
