3 Nights in the Desert Page #4

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.

all colored in your head.

You can't resist because my

love's got a half a life.

One by one is

seven, seven times.

And the dealer

whispers into your ear,

you better bet it all.

Ooh.

You do the long

division in your head.

You can't resist because my

love's got a half a life.

And you have carried the

ones who remained too long.

And the sphere whispers in your

ear, you better bet it all,

you better bet it all.

Ooh.

Sh*t, what's the bridge?

We never found it.

Really?

Yeah.

Sh*t.

I know.

I know we said no gifts, but

I really couldn't help myself.

Ah, yes!

Cool.

Nice, thank you.

Try it on.

I think I got the right size.

Dude, you look great.

It's jogging, dude.

Yeah, you look good.

Feels good.

It fits.

I love it.

Open yours.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I couldn't stand the idea

of you having all these songs

stuck in your head.

So... wanted you to be

able to record them.

Thanks.

Mm-hmm.

When I was out

there on the road,

everything felt like a dream.

It's just felt so unreal.

And then when I got back, it was

like everything was too real.

I feel... I feel like I

have to choose a path.

And even if I don't

choose a path, you know,

that's... that's like

choosing a path.

So no matter what...

Exactly.

It's kind of

startling how similar

it is to what I've been thinking

about the last few years.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You were saying?

Oh.

I'm... I'm just saying that

I feel the... the pressure

of choosing a path, you know?

But I want it to

be the right one.

I know we're all, you

know, we're super busy.

And we really screwed each

other over a lot, but... f***,

I miss you guys.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I want to know what

Barry's thinking.

What are you thinking, Barry?

Uh, I don't know.

Uh, we've got to stay

friends for sure.

Nah, I mean in general.

What are you hoping for?

Uh, I don't know.

I feel lucky.

Really, that's all?

It's not... nothing else?

Well, I mean, I guess there's

things that I will want.

But right now,

basically, I've got it.

And honestly what's

cool is this stability.

Ah.

And the best part about it

is this sense of independence.

Being a tax attorney gives

you a sense of independence?

OK, sure.

I have partners looking over

my shoulder and I'm super busy.

But I get my work done,

I put in my hours,

and everything's...

Everything's under control.

It's, um... to me

that's independence.

Look, there are a lot

of paths out there,

and that can be paralyzing.

And I'm just happy I

found the right one.

You are impressive,

you know that?

I get needing to make a living.

I do, I get it.

It's just the way you

embrace the whole thing

as the one and only path.
