Goodbye World Page #4

Synopsis: James and Lily, estranged from society, live off the grid, raising their young daughter in a cocoon of comfort and sustainability. When a mysterious mass text ripples its way across the country, triggering a crippling, apocalyptic cyber attack, their home transitions from sheltered modern oasis to a fortress for the estranged old friends that show up at their door for protection and community. The unexpected reunion--abundant with revelry and remembrances, generously enhanced by organic wine and weed--is quickly undermined by the slights of the past, the spark of lingering flirtations and the threat of a locally grown new world order. Balancing tense confrontations with slivers of levity, director Denis Henry Hennelly pinpoints a future where ideology explodes into action in every area.

It was the relaxation

experience of a lifetime.

Hmm.

And I saw a UFO.

A UFO, huh?

You must be stoked.

Came down really, really close.

And this staircase

of white shot down.

Like a soft rock escalator.

Exactly like a soft rock escalator.

And then Jon Secada appeared,

and he descended into the hot tub.

Also naked?

No.

He wore a majestic thong.

And a cape.

And...

jelly bracelets.

Sounds like I should have come.

They brought their own pillows.

Who does that?

So when you get 10 stars

you get to have a party.

What kind of party?

A unicorn party.

Well, I love unicorn parties.

Can I come?

Uh, you have to be cool.

Hey, Nicky. You want to

go see the greenhouse?

- Oh, my God.

- If we don't act fast,

James will make us go antiquing.

We have to take our destiny

into our own hands

before it's too late.

Oh!

You may not want to, but you must!

No.

Yes.

Do it, dude. Do it.

You must.

Hey!

This is that game, Cosmic Wimpout.

Remember me telling you

how awesome it is?

I want to get you stoned

and feed you pancakes.

What's your Wi-Fi password?

"dividebyzero".

One word, no caps.

But the Internet's been

down since yesterday.

- Roll, roll.

- Yeah, yeah.

I'm going to go again.

Are you ready?

All right, here we go.

Dice out of control.

No. Fringe benefits.

Fine, then reroll clause.

You didn't clear moons, dude.

Yeah, I totally did.

No, you didn't.

Nick, the rules are the rules.

You didn't clear moons.

- Reroll.

- Reroll.

It's time for the daily bubble.

Not now, honey.

Daddy's in the middle

of a Cuban crime wave.

It's time for the daily bubble now!

Okay...

Every day we make a bubble

and see if we can beat our

record for how long it lasts

before it pops.

Whoa, that's a really big bubble.

One, two, three,

four, five,

six...

That's a record.

Twelve seconds.

That wasn't a very

good bubble, huh?

Uncle Benji!

Hey, little lady.

I just had a really long ride.

Where are you coming from?

Just came from L.A. this morning.

That's Ariel.

Your house is nasty.

Nasty's the new dope.

Hey. Weird to see you here.

Long time, buddy.

Wow. Are you stoned?

There have been serious

improvements in pot since college.

You guys have pot?

So much!

Nick, discretion, please.

Hey. Who's this?

We've met.

Right. Yeah. You're...

You used to hump my

stuffed animals.

Laura's roommate.

Yeah.

Oh, you guys haven't heard.

World's ending.

I'm going to take a nap.

Benji, check this out.

Holy sh*t. It's crazy.

We should get the

f*** out of here now.

Burn it down!

Back up, back up, back up.

Come on, we don't want

to get stuck in L.A.

This is unbelievable.

All this for a power outage.

No. It's got to be some
