3 Nights in the Desert Page #3

Synopsis: THE BIG CHILL meets THE GRADUATE. What could have been? What might have been? Reunions can be exciting, frustrating, exhilarating, nostalgic, one life given over to practicality while another chases lost dreams. Set against the majestic landscape of the desert, three estranged friends and former band mates "celebrate" turning 30, carrying their hopes, unresolved wounds and intertwined romantic baggage, in this hysterically funny and poignant look at lost loves, forgotten dreams and missed opportunity of three young adults in the final stages of giving up their youth.

Look, I need more booze.

This is giving me anxiety.

Shh, make a wish.

Nice.

It's almost time.

For what?

I forget how many there are.

Come on, brown eyes.

OK.

This cave, it's not just a cave.

Shh.

People have been coming

here for centuries.

I saw a pack of coyotes

standing where you are.

Staring in.

You go into the cave, your

deepest desire comes true.

Does that mean there's

like a genie that's

in a bottle in there?

No, no.

None of that genie sh*t.

See, genies, they give

you what you want.

This cave knows what you need.

I think I'd rather have

the genie in the bottle.

I think you'd just like

anything that's in a bottle.

Shut up.

You.

Go in.

Oh, come on, Travis.

Please.

Come on.

We see it.

Go in.

You scared?

Yes.

Going in.

No.

OK, all right.

It's so narrow.

Have you been in there?

What's that dripping sound?

OK.

Are you OK?

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Bet that's good for the

property value, huh?

Magical cave.

You should go in, Barry.

It's fun.

OK.

That's uh, pretty cool.

Yeah?

Cool.

Should we, uh?

You're not going in?

No, no.

Travis.

You're doing better

than I thought.

He took us to this magical cave.

No, we didn't do drugs.

I promise.

It was my monster.

Mm.

Good night.

Got everything you need?

Um, heh.

Yeah.

Um.

I love you, Bareman.

Hm?

I love you, Bareman.

Uh.

Good night, dude.

I said I love you.

I love you, Bareman.

I love you, Bareman.

I love you too, man.

All right.

All right.

Anna?

Hey.

You OK?

Sorry, it was just a bad dream.

You just got startled.

What's going on?

Just a bad dream.

Just, screaming.

What kind of dream?

It's nothing.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Good night.

Oh.

Hey!

No!

I'm just checking out the

latest from the new world.

Travis.

Oh.

Ah, you even sleep

with this thing?

It's not funny.

You must be hooked.

Don't stay up too late.

Sh*t.

Look, I'm figuring it out.

Yes.

Soon, OK?

OK.

I love you too.

Be nice to me now.

I'm a cripple.

Got it?

Got it!

Yeah!

Still got it!

See that?

Yeah?

You uh, you just check out his

patented I mean business mode.

He pushes his glasses back

up the bridge of his nose

when he's about to kick

it into another gear.

Ready, Bareman?

Ready!

Yeah.

Another friend decided to come.

She's got the bedroom.

Anna.

It's a surprise for me too.

OK.

Yes, I took my jog.

It was gorgeous.

Come on.

You know, I pictured

you out here.

Oh, yeah?

Is that what you imagined?

You know, we need a guitarist.

You're playing with

some good musicians.

Ah, yes.

They're good.

We need a wild man.

It'd be like old times.

Except now you're a silver fox.

Can you believe

Bareman's jogging?

Ooh.

Yeah.

Ooh.

You've got the numbers
