Scene 1.


sheldon:      (sitting on plane next to Leonard and Raj and Howard on seat in front.)

                     Why couldn't we take a train?

Raj:               Its not cool to take a train when the whole time we have off would be taken up train travelling.

sheldon:      (Pauses trying to figure out Raj's point, quickly gives up) I know!

leonard:       Well we're here, in a plane, and soon we'll be at Disney World. Looking forward to it.

Howard:      Me too.

sheldon:     Strange none of us have been there before.

Leonard:     We all have a reason.

Sheldon:     Yes, and i;'m sure no one wants to hear about it.

Leonard:      Right.

Howard:       Happy we're going now!

Others  

in unison:   Right! (jubilantly)


Next scene. Shot from outside the plane.

Plane taxis to disembarkation port.

then the boys are walking down the enclosed ramp from the plane in assorted Hawaian shirts and T-shirts, and backpacks.Looking mildly excited, relaxed and happy.

Howard:        Officially, and unofficially, at the same time.


scene 3.

The three girls in Penny's flat.

Bernadette:  Officially - this week, married. Unofficially - single girls night out!

Amy:               Well, I'm still single any way you look at it.

                        Penny, Bernadette exchange glances, smiling gently.

Penny:           Me too, lets go.


Next scene.            In a bar surround by hunks.


Bernadette:    Wow. I haven't seen this much action (sheepishly). I mean manpower (embarrassed), I mean men, boys, the opposite sex, oh you know what i mean since high school.

Penny:             Really? That long huh!

Amy:                 Yeah, me too I guess.

                          These guys are looking for some action …….. I mean. Not that I care.

Penny:             Yeh, me neither. Me and Leonard are finally finding our feet in this relationship. Ever since we spent that 2 weeks together.

Amy:                 You mean with Raj, Sheldon and Howard! (dismayed)

Penny:              Nah,  we ignored Raj, sheldon and howard the whole time.

                           We got along fine though when we finally met up with them.


                           3 men move over to them.


!st:                      Can we buy you girls a drink?

Penny:              No thanks, we're fine.

Amy:                  Yes, just looking. (looks down at her feet, embarrassed)

Bernadette:       But you're welcome to join us if you like.

2nd.                    Sure ladies.

                             Penny looks at it in disapproval and removes it.

3rd:                      You sure are pretty.

Penny:                 Yeah so are you but we're just having a girls night out while the boys are on holiday.

Amy:                     Oops. ( looks at 3rd. mildly sarcastic.)
