Moving Right Along

The new screenplay I'm working on is moving right along. I have eleven (11) pages, which isn't a bad first week's work.
The challenge with this script is that I have two (2) parallel, albeit related, story lines going, and they don't meet until the end of the 2nd act.
I'm going to be spending most of today in the doctor's office, waiting as Sandy will be having the surgery on her hand.
Now here's something I was sent:
Children Writing About the Ocean
1) This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles.
(Kelly, age 6)
2) Oysters' balls are called pearls.
(Jerry, age 6)
3) If you are surrounded by ocean, you are an island. If you don't
have ocean all round you, you are incontinent.
(Jimmy, age 7)
4) Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She's not my friend any more.
(Kylie, age 6)
5) A dolphin breaths through an asshole on the top of its head.
(Billy, age 8)
6) My uncle goes out in his boat with 2 other men and a woman and pots and comes back with crabs.
(Millie, age 6)
7) When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the
ocean. Sometimes when the wind didn't blow the sailors would whistle to make the wind come.
My brother said they would have been better off eating beans.
(William, age 7)
You have a creative weekend, and I'll be back on Monday.
