HO HO HO! Welcome to chapter two! Hannah's writing is in red, Jess's is in white.

"Er ist am Entrinknen." Jess said, suddenly, pointing.
"What?" Hannah looked back at her. "Did you say something, Kraut?
"Ja! Er ist am Entrinken!" Jess pointed at the water desperately. Hannah turned back.
In the water, Hugh Grant, now deprived of Jess to use as a human float, had latched onto Keanu, who was halfway under the water. "NO!" Hannah leapt off the rock and into the water. She grabbed Hugh by the hair and dragged him off Keanu. "NOW, LISTEN HERE, YOU ARSEHOLE - IF YOU DON'T STOP TRYING TO DROWN PEOPLE, I'LL HOLD YOUR GODDAMN HEAD UNDER 'TILL THE BUBBLES STOP!" She yelled.
Hugh whimpered and splashed away weakly.
"Keanu! Keanu! My precious little Buddhist baby! Are you all right?!" Hannah said, concerned.
Keanu coughed a bit. "Yeah. I'm ok."
"You don't think you're German, do you?" Hannah asked, quickly.
"No." Keanu replied.
"Oh, thank God."
Hannah swam away towards Jess who was apparently swearing at a fish in German. "Come on, J, let's swim out of here."
"Nein! [No!]"
Hannah shook her head and grabbed hold of a large piece of the hull of the now-wrecked boat which was floating past.
"Get on!" Hannah ordered Jess.
"Entschuldigung?!"
"Ent whaty-what?"
"Ich natte mein Zimmer mit eigenuem Bad gebeten! [I asked for a room with an en suite bathroom!]"
"Just get on!!" Hannah snapped, throwing her on. "Keanu?" She turned to the actor, splashing around. "You coming?"
"Uh, no, thanks." He smiled appreciatively."
"Suit yourself." Hannah shrugged, nonchalantly.
"Just don't blame us for your untimely death for the second time." She stepped up onto the floating piece of boat, acting cool.
"No problem." Keanu turned around in the water, putting his back to them.
"There's room for one more!" Hannah called looking about. "Orlando?"
"Sure!" Orlando Bloom happily hopped on and started to paddle with his hands.
"Bye Keanu!" Hannah waved cheerfully.
"See ya!!" He waved back.
"Wie tie fist das Wasser hier? [How deep is the water here?]"
"What did she just say?" Orlando inquired, paddling.
"No idea…she's gone a bit crazy!" Hannah explained.
"Er ist am Entrinken! [He is drowning!]" Jess pointed at a random celebrity.
"Yes. Just ignore him, Jess." Hannah said in a motherly fashion. "Now PADDLE!"


"We've been paddling for some time and I can't say we've come very far," Orlando commented, looking back at the rest of the wreckage and the celebrities, which was only about 500 feet away.
"Ich bin saver. [I am pissed off.]" Jess said.
"Oh, just keep quiet while I try to formulate a plan." Hannah snapped.
They floated in silence for a moment.
"What's that?" Orlando asked, suddenly.
"What?"
"That buzzing noise."
"I don't hear it."
"LISTEN."
Hannah listened, and, sure enough, heard a low buzzing.
"It's getting louder." Hannah commented.
Suddenly they looked up and saw a sea plane flying above them.
"OH MY GOD!" Hannah leapt up and jumped up and down, waving her arms about. "HELP! HELP!"
"Hilfe! [Help!]" Jess joined in.
"HELP!" Orlando added.
The plane circled a few times then swooped down to land a few hundred feet ahead of them.
"We're SAVED!" Hannah leapt up and down again and submerged the wreckage they had been floating on.
"Schwachkopf. [Idiot.]" Jess muttered, swimming towards the plane, followed by Orlando and Hannah.


As they approached the plane a hatch opened on the side to let them in. They dragged themselves out of the water and into the warm, dry interior.
"Arschloch! [Bastard!]" Jess suddenly exclaimed.
"WHAT?" Hannah followed her gaze.
"Oh…look who it is."
"You have GOT to be kidding me." Hannah regarded the pilot of the sea plane.
"We meet again." Jimmy grinned. "And you are completely at my mercy.
"ARRRRGH!" Jess yelled (in a German accent).

Hannah shut the door and looked at Jimmy.
"Heard you've filed for divorce." Jimmy remarked.
"What's it to you?" Hannah asked, coldly.
"Family, actually…" Jimmy pointed out.
"Ah, they disowned you years ago." Hannah said.
"Yeah, well…" Jimmy coughed nervously and restarted the sea-plane's engines.
"Bitte anschnallen! [Fasten seatbelt!]" Jess ordered.
"Well, the marriage isn't really working." Hannah informed Jimmy.
"Isn't it going to cost you money to divorce?" Jimmy pointed out.
"Yeah, this is why I've been hesitant to file for one…"
"Ich mochte gern meine Wasche waschen lassen. [I'd like to have some laundry done.]" Jess said.
Jimmy pushed forward a lever and the plane went forward through the water.
"Du spinnst wohl! [You're out of your mind!]"
The plane struggled a bit, one of the engines coughed up a spanner, but the sea plane eventually got off the sea's surface and flew through the air.
"Sonntags fahrer! [Sunday driver!]" Jess remarked.
