too, you too.



RON OR DON?

But we must go now.



TRUMAN

Hey, think about that policy!



RON OR DON?

Yes, we'll think about it.



TRUMAN

Okay, that's two for one, that's a good deal.

Doppelganger Special.

TRUMAN

Hey, fella's, going in? Go ahead....

Hey, whoa....I'm not that anxious to get

there.



Truman's Office



TRUMAN

(on phone)

Uh, could I have directory assistance for

Fiji, please? Fiji Islands...



OFFICE NEIGHBOR

(re: Newspaper article

"SEAHAVEN THE BEST PLACE ON EARTH!")

Truman, did you see this?



TRUMAN

(on phone)

All right, sure ma'am, if--if uh..he's in a

coma he's probably uninsurable!

(whispering)

Yes, uh..Fiji please. Do you have a listing

for a Lauren Garland?....unlisted....okay..

Do you have a Sylvia Garland? S for Sylvia.

None...okay, thank you.

(hangs up phone)



OFFICE NEIGHBOR

Let's see, Burbank, got a prospect in Wells

Park for you to close.



TRUMAN

Wel-Wells Park? On uh...Harbor Island?



OFFICE NEIGHBOR

You...know another one?



TRUMAN

Well, I can't do it. I uh...have an

appointment. Dentist.



OFFICE NEIGHBOR

Really?



TRUMAN

Yeah.

(Toothy grin)



OFFICE NEIGHBOR

You're going to lose a lot more than your teeth

if you don't meet your quota. Truman. They're

making cutbacks in here this month.



TRUMAN

Cutbacks?



OFFICE NEIGHBOR

Yeah. You need this. 'sides, half hour across

the bay, a little sea air..do you good.



TRUMAN

Hey, thanks.



At the Docks



TRUMAN

Hello! Ferry's still here, huh? Well, I'm

headin' to sea.



TICKETPERSON

One way or return?



TRUMAN

(like duh)

Return.



TICKETPERSON

Here you go, sir.



FERRY STAFF

(re: Truman's faint condition)

Do you need any help, sir?



TRUMAN

You go ahead, I'll-I'll be fine.



Truman's Lawn



MERYL

I'm home, Truman! Look what I got for you

at the checkout. It's a Chef's Pal. It's a

dicer, grater, peeler all in one. Never

needs sharpening. Dishwasher safe.



TRUMAN

Wow. That's amazing!



MERYL

Truman. Missed a spot.



Unfinished Bridge



MARLON

Mm. THAT is a beer.



TRUMAN

You know, I've been thinking about gettin'

out, Marlon.



MARLON

Yeah? Out of what?



TRUMAN

Out of my job. Out of this city. Off this

island. Out.



MARLON

Out of your job? What the hell is wrong

with your job? You have a great job,

Truman. You have a desk job. I'd kill

for a desk job.

(re: beer)

Here ya' go.

(continuing)

You should try stocking vending machines

for a living.



TRUMAN

No thanks.

MARLON

Now there's excitement.



TRUMAN

Don't you ever get restless? Itchy feet?



MARLON

Where is there to go?



TRUMAN

Fiji.



MARLON

Where the hell is Fiji? Near Florida?



TRUMAN

(using golf ball as Earth)

See here?



MARLON

Mmmhm..



TRUMAN

(finger on one point of ball)

This is us...and all the way around here..

(finger slides around to

opposite point)

Fiji.



MARLON

Mmmm... (Oh...)



TRUMAN

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?



(question to Andrew Niccol: is Fiji a reference to Lister's, a

character on the British Sci-fi comedy "Red Dwarf,"dream of building

a farm in Fiji?)



MARLON

hoo..So, when're you gonna go?



TRUMAN

It's not that simple. It takes money.

Planning. Can't just..up and go.



MARLON

Right.



TRUMAN

I'm gonna' do it. Don't worry about that.

You know, bonus time's just around the corner.



MARLON

Hmmm. Hey, you comin' for a drink?



TRUMAN

No. Can't..
