Scene Two:
Scene opens in a once stylish lawyers boardroom that has been filled with rolling bakers racks lined with case-files stuffed with crumpled papers.
There are half of a dozen interns seated.
Laywer Scott: OK people listen up. We have a phenomenal opportunity here I want to hear any Ideas no matter how absurd.
The interns rustle and start scribbling.
Scott: We have a cash rich industry here that we can take to the cleaners if we do it right.
Intern Sally: Hey mabey we can force all divers to get a license with some proceeds going to the Carlock fund for wayward divers.
Intern Ben: Yea and we can get a splash tax for each giant slide.
Intern Stan: That's stride Ben.
Intern Ben: OK whatever, a buck a splash. And half of it goes to the Dandy Dan Orphan fund for lost New Advanced Divers.
Intern Melanie: OH! OH! I GOT IT... A DEPTH TAX. They will have to keep a depth score cards like those baloney divers.
Intern Ben: I didn't know that baloney was a seafood...
Lawyer Scott: Team, This is a great start. But what ever you do don't anger those commercial guys. We don't want any pressure from the government.
