Desert Blue

1

Come on, Blue, it's easy money.

Billy said ten bucks an hour.

That's some cash.

We could make at least

100 bucks a day fixing up the motel.

Cale, do what you want.

I don't care.

You're not mad, are you?

I'm not mad. If you want to fix up

the motel, fine. Don't ask me for help.

- It's a lot of money.

- What do you think? Green?

Yeah, sure. Green.

Check it out.

Eight thousand VT. Turbo.

Fifty-five horses under this bad boy.

- What happened to your old one?

- Traded it in. Big race this weekend.

- Plus it was old.

- You just got that last year.

Yeah. Let me explain something.

It's old. Just trust me.

It's an old bike.

You gotta keep moving.

Keep changing.

Getting a new thing.

I don't wanna end up like Blue,

making water toys in the desert.

- Yeah, blah, blah.

- The water's not coming.

It didn't come when your father

built this place. I'm sorry.

- It's not gonna just appear now.

- Noah was stupid for building an ark?

I'm outta here.

Did you just

compare yourself to Noah?

DESERT BLUE:

Empire Cola

Wouldn't you rather be full of it

Empire Cola

The taste of desert soda

When your bad ass is on high

just get it a cold shot

Of Empire Cola today

Here's Baxter.

- Do we have to do this?

- It's not that far.

You take 395 into Baxter.

That way you see

the giant ice cream cone and the beach.

- We'll be home by sunset.

- Great. I'll never get to a television.

Your agent could get you

your show on tape.

It's not the same on tape.

It's all about the broadcast.

Skye, come on!

We'll only be there a minute.

It'll be fun.

We'll have a look around.

Remember. One person's interminable

stretch of highway...

Is another's road to adventure.

I know.

But going out of our way to see

a giant ice cream cone? It's crazy.

Crazy? Crazy is not to see

the giant ice cream cone.

How'd you like to tell friends

we were in Baxter?

"Did you see the giant ice cream cone??"

"No, we missed it."

That would be crazy.

Empire Cola is the proud sponsor...

of the 1998 Peaksville

All-Terrain Vehicle Invitational...

happening this Sunday.

If you can't get down there yourself...

KDLU will be bringing you

all the action.

Our live broadcast kicks off...

at 10:
00 a.m. Sunday morning.

A portion of all ticket proceeds

will be matched by Empire Cola...

and donated to

the Children's Cancer Society.

Empire Cola.

What would you rather be full of?

I don't get it.

We must've missed the sign.

Yep, we missed it.

I wonder how long it'll take them

to find our bodies.

Probably never.

That's assuming they'd even look.

You know how many bodies are buried

out here they never found?

The sherif's office told me...

if all the dead bodies in the deserts

stood up at the same time...

this place would resemble Manhattan.

I mean, without Nathan's.

Do you have to put that up?

If I don't,

and an Empire Cola rep shows up...

we lose all the freebies.

If you drink enough of it,

you may have a body like this someday.

Very funny, Dad.

I'll be across the street.

Going to the aqueduct tonight.

I'll pick you up.

Did it come?

Yeah. My dad's at the clinic, so hurry.

I don't wanna get busted.

- Thanks.

- See you.

No threat of rain

over the weekend.

Which is good news

for you race fans.

The 10th Annual Peaksville All-Terrain

Vehicle Invitational...

is going to go down Sunday morning.

All odds are on

Baxter's Pete Kepler...

who will be returning

to defend his title.

Will Pete be able to fend off

Telly Clems again this year?

Look, I am the owner.

I wish somebody could've

notified me earlier.

Yeah.

Okay, bye.
