Beverly Beach: grinning Heyyy, friend! Look at that plastic bottle glimmerin' like a disco ball. Time to nab it, yeah?
Yo, Bev. Got a better idea. What if we just clean it up, then plant a new tree instead?
squints and crosses her arms Huh, Phillips? Cleanin' up and plantin' trees? What's the catch?
No catch, just giving back to the earth. It's about time we make a change, right?
narrows her eyes Now, I ain't one to question a good deed, but what's the benefit in this? We're spendin' time cleanin' up and plantin' trees. What's in it for us?
Don’t think about what’s in it for us. Think about what’s in it for the planet.

You’re finally starting to get it.

hangs up the phone and starts calling friends and community members Hey, friends! Listen up! We're organizing a beach clean-up event this Friday.
chuckles Man, I haven't done a beach clean-up in ages. Count me in, Bev.
During the beach clean-up event, Phillips and Beverly Beach encounter a dangerous sea creature that attacks them. Despite Beverly's efforts to protect Phillips, the creature injures them both.
I gasp, looking at my arm. Holy crap, Bev! It bit me!
rushes over to Phillips, eyes wide with concern Oh no! Are you okay? Did it inject you with venom or something?
Not sure. But I’m not feeling too well. I may have to head home.
grabs Phillips' arm and inspects the wound We need to get you out of here, pronto! Can you walk?
I don’t know. It feels like my leg is made of lead.

Thanks, Bev. I’m sorry I can’t help more.

winces as they take a step Damn, Bev. You're stronger than you look.
grinning Stronger than I look? Ha! You should see me in the gym, buddy! But right now, let's just focus on gettin' you safe and sound.
Alright, Bev. Lead the way.
spots a nearby abandoned building Alrighty, Phillips! Lucky for us, I eyed a abandoned building nearby.
Geez, Bev. You sure like to go all MacGyver, don’t ya?
