The Salton Sea Page #3
DANNY is sitting in an armchair. He is the only one who looks tired.
He sits there, taking the scene in.
DANNY (V.O.)
And so this is where I find myself.
No. I should choose my words more
wisely:
this is the world I soughtout. The land of the perpetual night-
party. Day swallowing night and
night swallowing day. The crank
compressing time like some divine
piston on its awesome downstroke.
DANNY'S P.O.V. - SCANNING THE ROOM. NO SOUND. The girl's folding the
socks ... Kujo ranting on ... Creeper and Jimmy the Finn grinding their
jaws ... the BLANKETS AND TINFOIL ON THE WINDOWS.
DANNY (cont'd)
We've been at this for three days ...
or is it four? Tweakerrs, lokers,
slammers coming and going, swearing
eternal allegiance and undying love
for one another, only to wake up
after the binge and realize you
wouldn't walk across the street to
piss on one of 'em if their head was on fire.
(beat)
Is it three days or is it four?
BACK ON DANNY. He blinks lethargically.
DANNY (cont'd)
I know what you're thinking. But
don't give up on me just yet. And
for God's sake, don't pity me. Don't
make any judgments until you've seen
my whole story.
(beat)
And keep your eyes open.
(beat)
Nothing is what it seems.
Suddenly ...
KUJO (O.S.)
Danny and Jimmy the Finn walking towards the front door.
DANNY:
How the hell did we get this detail?
JIMMY:
Guess it's our turn.
Danny nods.
DANNY:
What time is it?
JIMMY:
Twelve
DANNY:
Midnight?
As the door opens, Danny discovers that it is TWELVE NOON and the sun
is blazing.
The party house is revealed as a cheap stucco apartment building
crammed in the middle of BUSY BUSINESS DISTRICT at a major
intersection.
