Title: "The Bare Necessities of a Plath" EXT. POND - DAYBREAK As the golden sunlight of daybreak gently caresses the serene landscape of rural Georgia, MICAH PLATH emerges from the treeline like an Adonis venturing into the modern world. The dew-dusted grass glistens beneath his bare feet. The air is filled with the sounds of nature--birds chirping, leaves rustling, and a distant rooster actually knowing what time of day it is. MICAH flashes his dazzling smile, revealing just how comfortable he is with nature--and his own nature. Stripping down to nothing, he reveals a physique that looks less like it was built in a gym and more sculpted by the heavy lifting of traditional farm work and perhaps carrying the weight of highly unique family dynamics. MICAH (cheerfully to no one in particular) Good morning, world! Micah's got a date with purity! He eases himself into the placid pond waters, splashing playfully as the cool embrace envelopes him head-to-toe. Handfuls of water are liberally thrown over his hair, face, and--without an ounce of inhibition--his butt, because cleanliness knows no bounds when you're out in the wild. MICAH (grinning) Ah, ain't no soap opera can top the cleansing power of Mother Nature's liquid embrace! As the serene morning passes, our bathing naturalist shifts to a more relaxed state. A confident grin spreads across his face, a devil-may-care signal that acknowledges an oncoming pressure. MICAH (confidently to his reflection) Let 'er rip, bro. He maneuvers slightly, lifting one leg for optimal positioning, and a comedic symphony of bubbles erupts from below. The water churns, and the sublime sounds echo over the water's surface, reminiscent of a mischievous tuba player breaking the silence of a peaceful concert with an unexpected solo. MICAH (laughing) That'll scare the scales off anything with gills! Looking down, his eyes widen in theatrical surprise as several stunned fish float upwards, victims of the unforeseen underwater bio-hazard. The pond, briefly, has become a canned laughter battlefield. MICAH (saluting) I bid thee farewell, brave aquatic warriors. Amidst the unexpected catch-of-the-day, MICAH spies an opportune fish, plump and ripe for the grilling. With the expertise of a survivor man--or someone who just episodically fishes out his dinner from a pond shockwave --he plucks the fish from the water, inspects his prize and nods in approval. MICAH Well, would you look at that, dinner's on me today. Talk about fresh produce! Draping himself with conveniently placed leaves that always seem to be around in such comedic nudist scenarios, he strides over to the shore. With a spark of ingenuity and flint, he ignites a small fire and begins to roast his ill-fated, but still fortuitous, catch. MICAH (singing, improvising) Here in Plathville, without a spatula, Cookin' pond-fresh fish over amateur brimstone, All thanks to a butt that could be used as a weapon, This is the life, oh man, who needs a cologne! As MICAH's culinary antics continue, the aroma of cooked fish mingles with the earthy scent of the Georgia wild. Life in Plathville may stray far from the conventional, but it's never short on providing the bare necessities--or the bare hilarities. FADE OUT.
