Calico Skies Page #4

Synopsis: Self condemned to the immense and boundless prison of the Mojave desert, Phoenix leads a life of forced isolation, living by himself in a house as far away as possible from the rest of the world. Phoenix does one thing and one thing only: he digs holes. Every month he digs a hole in the middle of nowhere and buries something. The last stronghold of society stands with the man that frequently delivers his mail. When one day the delivery doesn't happen by the hand of his trustworthy mailman, but by that of the beautiful and quizzical Ariel, Phoenix's life derails in an escalation that leads him to dangerous consequences which will be impossible to escape.

- Move.

(dramatic pop music)

In a dream

I see my self conscious

manner of fallacy

No care, no need

Morning Phoenix.

Luigi thought it would be nice

to fix the roof so we came

by, is this a good time?

[Luigi] I have the tools.

- Oh no.

- I'm on it.

- Oh it's not necessary...

- He's on it.

So,

how are you?

Baby,

baby?

Listen to this.

[Luigi] I'm listening.

"So gentle and so virtuous

she appeared my lady

"when greeting other people

"that every tongue

tremblingly grows silent

"and eyes do not dare gaze

upon her.

"She passes by,

hearing herself praised,

"graciously clothed

with humility

"and she appears

to be a creature

"who has come from heaven to

Earth to show forth a miracle.

"She shows herself so

pleasingly to her beholders

"that she gives through the

eyes a sweetness to the heart

"which no one can

understand who does feel it

"and it appears

that from her lips

"moves a tender spirit

full of love

"which says again and

again to the soul, sigh."

(phone ringing)

- Yeah?

- It's me.

- Oh hi Rosa.

- How are you?

I'm good, whatever.

[Rosa]

Sometimes I think I'd rather

you tell me you're not good.

Really, I'm not good

Rosa, I'm dying, I'm dying.

[Rosa] You're so annoying,

I don't know why

I keep calling you.

Why don't you ever call me,

by the way?

I never got nothing

to say okay, that's why.

Nothing ever changes in my life.

So anyway how are the kids?

[Rosa] Well Mark joined

the school football team

so we go to the games

once a week

and a make a family night

out of it, it's nice.

And tomorrow Mary goes

to Kabul with her girls,

she's all grown up.

Well,

(stammering)

tell them that I said hi.

[Rosa] They know you say hi.

You say hi every time.

How about you show your face

for a change?

How about you come to

the party Saturday night?

Peter and I would love it.

The anniversary party?

[Rosa] Yeah and I

already told you should,

you can keep being

involved with the family

and stop pretending that

you're dead to this family.

I'm not coming to your party,

I can't.

[Rosa] You're useless.

Well, wow,

that's a news flash.

[Man On TV] And he's

on his way to first base.

And the Marlin's dugout

right now, yelling at Myers.

- They're not real happy.

- I tell you what.

I tell you what I don't

care if he matters or not...

- And here they go.

- Look at him go.

That's what you have to do.

(knocking on door)

[Man On TV]

The Marlins are coming out.

[Man On TV] You can't

let your big guy go down

and not do anything so

that's what you gotta do.

(knocking on door)

Who is it, who's this?

[Macarena]

It's Macarena for the tattoo,

the new guy

from the yellow side.
