Holding of actors :
The actors are contemporary outfits

Explanation of the decor :
The whole piece takes place in a forest.

A man travels with his mistress for a few days in cabin in the trees in the countryside.
Before arriving at destination, they fall out of car in the middle of a forest.
If Wilson is at the beginning, this rather romantic situation, the time passing and not finding a solution to get out of the wood, the atmosphere degrades.
The situation and trade make this coin a tender and humorous comedy.

Scene 1
(Person.)

Scene 2
(CHARLES and Johanna arrive looking around for them.)

Paul - As it is romantic. The coup de panne in the forest.

CHARLES - At the time of the failure, this is not me. This is the car that decided all alone.

JOHANNA - And this car has a good idea. But where is here?

CHARLES - Well the last time that the car has kindly tell me, via gps, it is in the forest.

Wilson - in the forest? Well, I noticed all these trees. But what shall we do?

CHARLES - Let's try to work it out. I did not want to take root here.

Paul - And we are far from the finish?

CHARLES - about an hour. I had taken this forest road because I thought this more fun ride.

JOHANNA - You was right my darling. And then you have to justify the purchase of your 4 x 4.
Note This is a foretaste of what awaits us. It is in a cabin in the trees to be sleeping tonight.

CHARLES - Normally Yes. But if this continues, it's under the trees without cabin that will sleep.

Paul - As it is cute. You, me, love, trees. A dream.

CHARLES - As long as you treated me not old branch.

JOHANNA - but not my loved Tarzan. And Yes. We are in the jungle. There may be Wolves of the lions. And you great courageous you are, you will do everything to protect your Jane, is not it?

CHARLES - But yes obviously.

Wilson - If there are wild animals that attack me, you will save me at the peril of your life, is not it?

CHARLES (reassured not) - the last time that I fought with a leopard, that was when I pulled you your fur coat. And yet it was an imitation. So I'm not sure to have the necessary experience to play the tarzans.

Wilson - My big Teddy bear. You you under estimated. A big boy like you, full of muscles, nothing doesn't make you afraid. I imagine you, dressed in animal skin, that I've lovingly ironed with a stone heated, the body covered with scars, traces of your last fight with a bear, with bare hands. I imagine you, turned you to me taking your stick terminated by Flint and shouting me: "woman, boil the pot, this evening at dinner there is Steak of dinosaur. Then the last vision I have of you, it is you see pushing you in the forest and in the night, assume the sustenance for your beloved wild

CHARLES - It is clear that you are right to say that it is the last image that you keep. Because I do not see me hunt dinosaur. Even a baby dinosaur. I remind you that the extinct species.

JOHANNA - Voucher can not be dinosaurs. Actually they disappeared for a long time. I know I'm not an idiot. And well you go hunt a more recent animal.

CHARLES - And what as a pet?

JOHANNA - I do not know me. I think. I work my brain.

(Ironic) CHARLES - Oh she does work its meninges. For once that something works for you, it is a true woman of lining.

Wilson - very funny. As a pet, you could hunt... The mammoth.
It must be good the mammoth.

CHARLES - It can be good, but this is no longer the fashion?

JOHANNA - Ah good! This is no longer the fashion? It's weird, it is no long, I ate the mammoth in a restaurant.

CHARLES - If the Restorer, you said that it was the mammoth, I think that you are done you have. Or so they serve meat which is not very fresh.

JOHANNA - Yet, he told me that he bought it, in a farm near his restaurant.
Ah this is me. This is not the mammoth, anything. It's mink.

CHARLES - of mink? But this is not eaten. It is an animal bred for its skin to make coats. And it's tiny.

UDA - Size I do not know. I did not took it in its entirety. I just picked up a steak. The chef told me that it is a very good meat. Once it was the main food of the American Indians.

CHARLES - This isn't the mink. It is the bison. With a 'B '.

JOHANNA - Mink, bison, can matter all what I know is that this meat is a treat. I eat well tonight. Not you?

CHARLES - In the current state of things, it is a wrong party to eat bison tonight.
And then there is more in the wild.

Wilson - My little Charles, you are put the ill will.

CHARLES - Paul. Suppose that a sorcerer's apprentice is removed in the depths of this forest. Accept that it reassess a Jurassic Park and reintroduced by extinct species. You see me go hunting at the mammoth, and see it in the fields near a crossroads and I scream super U... no beast? The supermarket at home. And if I can find a beast. A big beast, say... a rabbit. I do how to kill?

Paul - as in prehistory. With lances driven to a sharp Flint.

CHARLES - It's that sharp Flint I have full pockets. Recently my wife asked me I that I wanted for my birthday. I would have the answer him, Flint. One always needs a Flint carved on itself.

JOHANNA - And well manufactured in one.
