23 Minutes to Sunrise Page #3

Synopsis: They say the darkest hour is just before dawn, and at the Sunrise diner it's very late indeed. Four couples find themselves at an out-of-the-way 24-hour diner, but they are not all that they seem. Intertwined throughout the night are a middle age couple who are at a crisis in their lives, a cook who thinks he is finally finding his way forward, a waitress in a bad relationship and a young punk and his girlfriend who think this is the last stop before the new world of imagined ease. But the strangest of all are the dark stranger and young girl who don't seem to be part of this world. A film about dreams gone bad, missed opportunities, love, fear and death.

Babe! - Just stay here, all right'?

-Babe, What are you dong'! Babe!

Why can'! is just be simple?

I mean, why am I here?

And she's here.

But we're not together.

Why are they together...

and we're not'!

Can we please go in now,

I'm starving.

Grab my sweatshirt.

So what is it, exactly,

that you want me to do?

Just let it all end.

Just like that.

Badda-boom.

It doesn't seem fair.

What does it have

to do with fair'?

Without fairness,

life is capricious.

I just want to end this.

You want out that bad, huh?

I want to grow up.

I want to be 18 and

I want a boyfriend.

A husband.

I want a love.

I want kids that won't be older than me

by the time they're able to vote.

Wow. That sounds

really boring.

Not to me.

Hi, just sit anywhere.

We're on the late night menu.

It's on the back.

Can I get some water also?

Sure. How about you?

No, I'm good.

Where is everybody?

Oh, it's about normal

for Wednesday night.

Let me get you some water.

- Thank you.

We're gonna eat first, right'!

So like the two of them

over there. Hmm?

What possible reason could either of them

find to get out of bed in the morning?

That's what I want to know.

I want a life.

Donuts. Bet the only reason he

gets up every day is donuts.

Wow, that's f***in' terrible.

What kind of idiot do you have to be

to f*** up a cup of coffee? Jesus.

We didn't need his money.

It wasn't about the money.

He was f***in' with me.

He was waving to you.

Shut up.

Look at the menu,

order when she gets back.

Hand me my cards.

Thank you.

Look at the menu.

You said you were hungry, right?

You want to order when she gets back.

Look at the menu.

Stop it.

What do you want'?

Not everything in life is easy.

Don't be such a dick.

Whatever. You love it.

OK.

OK.

Do you see that clock on the wall?

Which one'!

That's a good point.

That one. Right there.

It's 23 minutes to the hour.

- OK

If you can find someone in this room

to take your place in the next 23 minutes,

I will give you

what you want.

Tick- tick- tick-

tick- tick- tick...

Tick...

Tick...

You all right honey?

Can I get you anything?

She's all right.

I wasn't talking to you.

Let me show you where the restroom is.

Tick tick tick tick...

Go to hell.

Now that's funny.

That's funny.

I know it's none of my business,

but what are you doing with that guy'?

A pretty girl like you...

It's not what you think...

I'm only thinking you

can do a lot better.

I made a mistake.

Hey-

We've all made mistakes.

You can fix it.

I don't think I can.

I should've just died.

What is with everyone tonight?

Thinkin' that they'd rather die.

Why's everyone in

such a hurry to die'!
