High Road Page #2

Synopsis: High Road showcases a totally improvised script about Glenn "Fitz" Fitzgerald (James Pumphery), a young man whose loyalties are split among his band, his girlfriend Monica (Abby Elliott) and selling weed. After his band breaks up, Fitz finds himself dealing pot out of his garage and bonding with a rebellious 16-year-old Jimmy (Dylan O'Brien). As his former band mates (Zach Woods, Matt L. Jones, Lizzy Caplan) find success and one of his drug deals goes awry, Fitz and Jimmy hit the road. Amid guns, broken bones, sassy cabbies, rude hookers, and a suspicious doctor (Horatio Sanz), Fitz has to navigate their way to safety-and he doesn't even know about the surprise Monica has in store for him back home!

The rock opera is based

on the triangle theory.

It's like a triangle theory.

Like all things in the universe

are, like...

they come in threes,

so they're connected

in groups of three.

So, like, you and me would

be, like, you, me and weed.

I... No...

It's like Jimmy and me,

I guess.

It's like me and Jimmy

and the garage.

Right. Everything's a triangle.

Totally. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You get it. Yeah.

You get it. Okay.

Boom, kaboom. Cool.

Dude, thank you. Great. Yeah.

You wanna play some

PS3 or something?

- Let me tell you a story.

- Okay.

I was in Miami covering Haiti.

Did you then go to Haiti?

No. But turns out

there was a real story in Miami

about transportation to Haiti.

Oh, okay.

And Wolf Blitzer

came through the airport.

He did? Yeah.

And I was like, "Hey, Wolf."

He's like, "Barry."

Were you starstruck?

Well, I mean, we go back.

You do? Yeah.

You're friends? Well...

You used to be friends? Yeah.

Wow! I mean, we have...

We have... I had no...

That's awesome!

We're brothers in news.

So you used to, like,

hang out or what?

How does that work? Yeah.

I mean, you know...

He'll...

He'll watch a segment of mine,

and then, like, I'll see him

on the news that night,

and I'll just sort of be, like,

I can see it...

that he, like,

was inspired by my piece.

Anyway, he said to me,

"Barry, the news game...

it's a marathon, not a sprint."

And then he just went right through

airport security, straight to Haiti.

I want you to think

about two things. Okay.

Number one... Yeah.

What's my future look like...

Yeah.

With a rock opera guy?

Number two...

What's my future look like

in the news game?

And how to they interrelate?

Dear Glen,

life is dyn-o-mite.

Let's be friends again.

Hang soon?

Love, Dad. Uh, Arnie.

PS, thinking about

getting e-mail.

Worth it?

Nope.

Are you willing

to do anything for this?

I'll do anything. Literally?

Well, yeah. I mean...

I will... Crazy.

Well, I will train

and run the marathon.

Will you murder Richard? No.

What do we got, Richard?

How we doing?

This common coffeemaker could turn

itself on and start a house fire.

Kitchen sponge teeming

with E.coli bacteria.

It's good. It's scarier.

Yeah, it's a lot scarier. Yeah.

Ls your kitchen killing you?

Um, by the way,

a bunch of us are going out

to Banana Joe's for cocktails.

Oh, really? Tonight? Yeah.

You should come.

Normally, I would totally

be there slurping away.

But Fitz is not over

his band breaking up,

and I have to be

his support system right now.

You know, networking

is a big part of network news.

Right.

Oh, no, thank you.

I'm writing about this lady who has

a cookie jar museum in her garage.
