Magic 8-Ball
This time Wilson can kinda sorta actually talk back.
couch cushion
This is inexplicably the best answer yet. Everyone else is working so hard to think outside the box that the box is inside-out.
Plus, now you can include a love scene.
I have absolutely zero interest in making this movie political.
Then I’d go with airplane seat cushion instead.
The couch cushion works fine. Couch cushions appear in real-life situations all the time and simply having one in the movie cannot be construed as making a statement on the kind of conduct that we as a nation are willing to accept from our vice-presidential candidates.
A dildo.
A coconut. Those who know, will know. Those who don’t, may their innocence last forever.
Couch
Starring JD Vance
A bowling ball. Can change some of the script so he catches it before it rolls off the raft but he falls in the water with it. He’s too heavy and weak to make it back to the raft so he has to let go and watch it immediately sink or he’s taken under too (also a good reference how it’s hard to save someone from drowning when you’re near drowning yourself). Definitely thought of a dildo first till I saw everyone else put it up though.
Oh wow look at what the tides have swept ashore. A Pringles can, some rubber gloves and a few sponges.

Wouldn’t the object need to be something of deep importance to the individual or be a poetic representation? I always assumed the volleyball was a symbol of everything he left behind. Things like recreation no longer mattered; only survival. :shrug: but I also thought the movie sounded incredibly boring. If you want a random item, go for qualities like “awkward to carry” or “gets hot when left in the sun”. Give your characters personality or force them to choose that object at a moment it’s inconvenient.
- An oversized diamond/ faberge egg - it’s valuable, heavy or fragile and inconvenient, in a critical moment your character may need to smash it against something risking damage
- Teddy Roxbury/furby - favorite toy growing up? Creepy voice at stalking moments? Mid point twist when the batteries die?
- Harmonica - potentially a little Disney princess forest friend vibes
- Bowling ball - Wilson prolly plays a little different when it’s not feasible to take him on a raft, prevents you from climbing trees and burns precious calories transporting. Mobility is now a plot point. Decent weapon tho
- Toilet plunger/brush - everyday object that can be utilized differently, maybe adds that little bit extra reach to save the day?
Do your work for you, you say?
Or is this a hobby project?

That reminds me, tomorrow I will need everyone here to proofread the latest revision of my screenplay for the “John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt” horror movie.
