The Trail The film opens with our protagonists (Mitch, DJ, Victor, and Maria) sitting around a table at a diner. They're talking about their plans for tonight, each one eager to start partying. We find out that it's midterm week and that none of them have been out much since Welcome Week. Mitch and DJ are both rushing at a frat, but Mitch is about to drop out. This is our chance to get to know each character. Mitch is an everyman, the audience will be able to easily associate with him. He's average height, a little on the skinny side. DJ is raucous, a natural klutz. He's the friend everyone knows who's always out to make sure everyone has a good time, even if the morning after isn't so fun. Victor is completely whipped by his girlfriend who he is in a long distance relationship in. He's easily shaken, a neurotic type. Maria is the straight man of the group, but she's apt to say non sequiturs. As they get up to leave, DJ throws a wrapper on the ground. Immediately, Victor freaks out and picks up the wrapper and puts in the trash. Maria rolls her eyes and Mitch laughs. The opening credits roll as we watch a montage of the characters getting ready for their parties. Mitch and DJ are heading to the same house, Victor and Maria are heading to separate places. We watch them celebrate. Mitch and DJ are at a typical frat party, Victor is talking to his girlfriend in between shots, and Maria is brushing off guys who are trying to hit on her. The montage soon turns to focus on Mitch as he hooks up with a girl and she takes pictures. The montage becomes nothing but the pictures the girl is taking of Mitch kissing her. The credits end with Mitch and DJ walking out of the house and high fiving. They approach a street corner and call up Maria and Victor. Soon, the group is reunited. They debate calling a cab, and the four of them all try to whip out their phones to see who can get through the cab company first. Mitch's can't find his. Maria and Victor's are dead. DJ laughs in victory, but as he pulls it up to his face he vomits on it. They decide to walk. Maria says it's a bad idea, but no one listens to her. Back at the frat house, the lead frat boy Chad, is going through Mitch's left over items, his pledge paddle and pledge jacket. In the pocket of the pledge jacket, he finds a camera, his girlfriend's camera. On the camera he finds pictures of Mitch and his girlfriend, of Mitch and his girlfriend kissing. He explodes with anger as we cut back to the gang walking home. They're lost. Somehow, they've ended up on the IU golf course. Victor runs to a payphone, to talk to his long distance girlfriend, drunkenly attempting to explain to her that even though he drank, he's not going to cheat on her. DJ suggests that the best way to find their way home would be to drink more. He pulls out a small handle of Kamchatka. Mitch sees two guys standing off in the distance and decides to ask them for direction. He runs over. It's cops. He tries to play it sober, but they look at him with suspicion. Unfortunately, DJ has just run over with the bottle of Kamchatka in his hand. DJ tries to play it cool by explaining that he has a Fake ID and he pulls it out. The ID belongs to a 50 year old overweight latino man. Immediately, the cops try to arrest Mitch and DJ. The two of them sprint away, past Maria and Victor, who look on

dumbfounded until they see the cops follow. They jump and hide in the bushes, and their hands accidentally brush together. Victor's girlfriend immediately calls the payphone he was just at, and he has to rush over to explain that no, he did not just touch another girl. We cut back to Chad, who is rounding up all of his brothers for what he has deemed a mission in ass-kicking. He begins texting someone on his phone. We're then in the sorority of Chad's girlfriend, Sarah. She's just sent a text to Mitch, when suddenly she feels something vibrating in her pocket. She mutters aloud about how “that thing” could have ended up there, until she reaches down and pulls out Mitch's phone. She sighs, and gets dressed, hoping to return it to him. Mitch and DJ jump a fence to avoid the cops. They look up to see where they are, it's Bombay House on fourth street. DJ explains that he's scared, they're in Indian country. They decide to break into Bombay House, in a great moment of drunk logic, to restock for supplies. As they stumble around, DJ accidentally vomits again, this time in the curry. He notices it doesn't look any different. The commotion they raise as they search downstairs wakes up one of the Indians sleeping in the upstairs of the restaurant/house We cut back to Maria and Victor who are stumbling through Bloomington. They make it into a diner, where Victor pulls out a charger and plugs in his phone. He has 15 unread texts from his girlfriend. Mitch and DJ see the shadow of the person they've awoken, the scene is a straight homage to velociraptor scene from Jurassic Park. They hide until they're able to trap the owner in a freezer, just like Jurassic Park. As they escape Bombay House, the owner is quickly dialing numbers into his cell phone. Mitch and DJ are running when they suddenly pass Maria and Victor sitting in the diner. The group reunites and Maria suggests they wait for a bus, but the group doesn't listen to her. DJ feels something in a pocket and he sees that his phone has come back to life. He checks a text that he was sent. We see the frat boys marching down the street. They've changed clothes, from popped collars and khakis to strict military-esque uniforms. The group is walking to their dorm, through Dunn Meadow, when suddenly the frat boys encounter them. Immediately, Chad begins to chase after Mitch. The group runs, but stops when they encounter the Jordan River. They have no wagon to caulk, so they'll have to ford the river. DJ falls, but he tells them to go on without him. Maria gets her foot stuck in the mud, but Victor is able to free her, even though she loses a shoe. It's dawn as they approach the dorm. It's quiet, too quiet Mitch sees Sarah waiting at a bench. She sees him and runs and gives him a hug. Mitch goes to give her a kiss, but she pushes him away, laughing. She explains that it's only college, and that what happens at parties stays at parties. Victor hears these words and pushes ignore on his phone as his girlfriend calls him again. Suddenly, the frat boys appear. DJ is with them. Mitch is shocked, but DJ explains that rushing is more important to him than friendship. Mitch explains that he's an idiot, because they're roommates and as soon as he gets back he is going to rub his balls all over DJ's toothbrush. As the frat boys rush towards Mitch and the gang, the Indians

appear. They claim that they have a vendetta with Mitch and DJ. The frat boys explain that nobody can touch DJ, he's one of them. To Mitch and Victor's surprise, the Indians and the frat boys begin to fight. That's when the IUPD appears. They've been on Mitch and DJ's trail all night. They break up the fight. Maria testifies to them that the frat boys started everything and that it was the frat boys who broke into the Indian restaurant. The cops believe her, as she's the only sober person around. Mitch and Victor are dumbfounded that Maria finally had a good idea. Victor tries to make a move on her, but she laughs him off. Sarah sees him and asks to see his room. Victor smiles and takes her inside. We watch each of the individual characters as they start to go to bed. Maria goes to her room, and lies underneath her sheets, when there's suddenly a knock at the door. It's another girl, she comes to bed with Maria and the camera cuts as they start to kiss. Victor lies wide awake, with Sarah draped over him. His girlfriend calls, but he simply picks up and explains to her that “It's college, chill out.” DJ shares a small twin bed with three other frat boys in a jail cell. They're all spooning. Mitch lies down in his bed, ready to fall asleep, when suddenly his alarm goes off. Last night was only a Tuesday. He's got to make it to his 8 am.

1 INT. DINER - LATE DAY 1

Four characters, MITCH, DJ, VICTOR, and MARIA, are sitting in booths around a dining table, picking at the remainder of what was dinner while Victor is busy texting on his phone.

DJ Look, all I’m saying is that there’s a correlation between how much you like basketball and how much you like balls in your face. Either you like one, or the other.

MITCH Ha, watch it there, DJ. You’re stepping on some dangerous ground.

DJ No, no, no. I’m not being homophobic or anything. I joined the facebook group about prop 8. I listen to Elton John. I wore green for Iran.

MARIA What does that have to do with anything?

DJ I’m just sayin’, I’m an open-minded guy. But it’s a one or the other thing. Mitch, do you like basketball?

MITCH Yeah, I do.

DJ Exactly. And as a result, you don’t like balls. In your face.

MITCH Ha, guess I don’t.

MARIA I like basketball

DJ But you’re a girl. Irrelevant. Victor, do you like basketball?

VICTOR I’m a football guy.

DJ

What? Come on, you go to Indie-fucking-ana University. We don’t have a football team, we’ve got a practice squad Ohio State uses to warm up for the Rose Bowl. Eh, what do you know? You’re from middle-of-nowhere Nebraska.

VICTOR Damn it, DJ, I’m from Chicago.

DJ Suburbs. Suburbs from Chicago. You know, back where you left your balls.

MITCH What’s it with you and balls today?

DJ I’m just sayin’ man...hey, you callin’ me gay?

MITCH Is that a bad thing?

DJ No, man. But I’m not, alright? I’m rushing, you and me, we’re rushing together.

MARIA I dunno, DJ. A bunch of dudes, living together with only other dudes... wearing nothing but togas...spanking each other. Sounds pretty gay to me.

MITCH Actually, I’m dropping. It just isn’t my thing.

DJ What, you don’t like endless girls and guaranteed parties?

MITCH It just isn’t my thing.

MARIA You guys ready to go?

DJ Yeah, let’s head out. I’ll pick up the check.

The gang begins to pick up and head out. As they exit, Victor stoops down and picks up a piece of trash from the ground.

VICTOR Sorry, this kind of stuff drives me crazy.

He throws it away.

DJ Midterms are over. You guys ready for tonight?

MITCH Ha, you could say that, I guess.

2 INT. MULTIPLE LOCATIONS - NIGHT 2

THIS SCENE IS A MONTAGE OF EACH CHARACTER’S RESPECTIVE NIGHT The characters all prepare for their night out in their respective rooms. Mitch and DH head to a stereotypical frat party. Victor is at a quiet house party, seen texting. Maria is surrounded by a distinctively alternative crowd, brushing off multiple guys who try to hit on her. We see Mitch and DJ dancing with different girls, including one who is dancing way too close to Mitch. Eventually, the girl pulls Mitch away into a closet and begins kissing him. She pulls out her camera to take photographs of Mitch as she kisses him.

3 EXT. LONE CAMPUS STREET CORNER - NIGHT

Mitch and DJ are walking up to the corner. DJ checks his watch.

DJ Hey, we were supposed to meet them here.

MITCH Do you know how to get back home from here?

DJ Eh, this was the closest middle ground between all of our parties.

MITCH Fuck, I hope they’re not late.

Maria walks up with Victor following closely behind her.

MARIA Sup fags?

DJ (SAME TIME)

Hey, you callin’ me gay?

MITCH (SAME TIME) Ha, not anymore. Quit tonight.

VICTOR How do we get back?

DJ No fucking idea. Should we call a cab?

They all pull out their phones.

MARIA Phone’s dead.

VICTOR Oh, so is mine.

DJ Mine works!

He pulls it up, but unexpectedly begins to regurgitate. On his phone, ruining it.

DJ Shit.

MITCH Looks like we’re walking.

MARIA This is a bad idea.

DJ What? Is that a girl with an idea? Let’s walk.

4 INT. FRAT HOUSE - NIGHT 4

The FRAT BOYS are all walking around the house cleaning up after the party, including a brother, CHAD.

FRAT BOY Hey, Chad, isn’t this Sarah’s camera?

FRAT BOY pulls a camera out of a pile left in the closet. The pile is Mitch’s pledge paddle and other frat items.

CHAD What’s it doing with that little bitch’s stuff?

FRAT BOY I dunno, but you might want to check out these pictures on it...

Chad looks at the items on the camera. He does a slow burn as he forwards through the photographs. By the end, his face is bright red and veins are bulging out of his neck.

5 EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS GOLFCOURSE - NIGHT 5

Mitch, DJ, Maria, and Victor are walking alongside a campus golf course towards a side-street plaza of which a phone-booth is visible at an intersection.

DJ I’m so drunk, I don’t even know where we are anymore!

MARIA Golf course. We’ve been going South, away from the frats, towards the dorms.

MITCH Moore and... Can you guys read that cross street?

DJ I’m so drunk, I don’t even want to know where we are!

VICTOR Is, that a phone booth? Where, Moore hits Lansing?

MITCH Hey look! There’s a couple of guys over by that car in front of the doughnut shop.

MARIA I have a bad feeling about this.

DJ I have a good feeling about this, Kamchatka! (Pulling a fifth of vodka from a back pocket)

MITCH (Edging away from the group) Oh man, put that away. I can smell it and I’m going to hurl.

VICTOR

Guys, I gotta make a phone call real fast.

Maria rolls her eyes and strides with Victor towards the phone booth.

VICTOR Hello? Sweetheart? Yeah, just a little but -- No, you’re still the most important -- No I’m alone right --

MITCH (Inching towards the strangers) I wonder if they’d know which side of campus we’re on right now.

VICTOR Er, yes, that’s Mitch -- Well I’m with the guys. No no no. No girls.

DJ (After taking a swig)

I wonder if they’d know which side of campus has more vodka.

MITCH (Closer now, to the two men) Excuse me. Sirs! You guys know if either of these streets hit Maple?

OFFICER BROWN (Shining ON a flashlight, onto Victor) Yeah, Maple? A cross street two down of Moore if you keep following it the way y’all came. (Shines the flashlight onto Victor’s face. He is suddenly terrified, but gaining composure.)

MITCH Oh. Well. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you officer. Officers. Thank you officers.

DJ (Shouting) Mitchman! You think that they have a cigarette? (DJ begins to approach Mitch).

MITCH No. No no, I don’t. I don’t think these two gentlemen smoke. Do you officers smoke?

DJ Hey, you guys have one I can bum?

OFFICER BROWN

(Shining the light up DJ now) Sorry. Gave it up when my wife died. What’s that?

DJ Oh this? It’s cool man! I remembered my fake! (Procuring an identity card from his wallet and handing it to Officer Brown)

OFFICER BROWN (Sarcastically, eyeing down DJ) Congratulations on your fiftieth birthday, Senor Jose Ramirez.

MITCH Crap man, book it!

VICTOR (Rushed, after witnessing Mitch’s encounter) Oh, darling, baby. I have to let you go, I’ll call you back. Yeah, in a bit. Soon. Real soon. Two secs. No, really just --

MARIA (Doing that weird whisper-shout thing at the same time) Would you just!

She grabs his phone-hand and slams it onto the cradle. The two gaze awkwardly into each other’s eyes for a second, mouths agape. A few seconds pass by and the payphone begins to ring.

VICTOR (Consolatory tone)

Hello? No, she didn’t. Uh, no, we didn’t -- I didn’t touch another girl. No, not even a graze.

6 INT. INSIDE FRATERNITY HOUSE - NIGHT 6

Chad exits his room and begins walking through the main bedroom hall of his frat, knocking on each door as he passes, to gather his brothers.

CHAD

Brothers! Rise up! The time has come! Someone has tampered with that which is ours! That which belongs to Delta Beta Gamma!

PASSING BROTHER Yo, what is it?

CHAD As you may know, our birthrights, babes and booze, sacred to our order, we have sworn to protect! United, brethren, we stand against any who chooses to interfere with our way of living, our peace, our serenity!

OTHER PASSING BROTHER (Chuckling)

Someone puke on your shorts again, Chad?

CHAD Brothers! Join me! For tonight, we will be avenged! I have witnessed the evidence, of a green, eyed, freshmen, with my girl.

(He reaches the end of the hall, and turns to face his collected brothers) And tonight, brothers, o’ brothers of mine, we will have our revenge! We will go out! On a mission! A mission of ass-kickin’!

7 INT. INSIDE OF SARAH’S SORORITY HOUSE - NIGHT 7

Sarah walks into her room of her sorority, sets down her purse and flops onto her bed. She grabs her phone and begins scrolling through texts from the night. Giggling, she decides send Mitch a text. Something vibrates from within her off-side pocket.

SARAH (Chuckling)

Oops, that thing couldn’t have gone out with me.

Sarah pulls Mitch’s phone from her pocket. She scoffs and rereads the message that she had just sent him. She sighs, stands back up off of her bed, picks her purse back up, and grabs a jacket off the door before heading back out into the night.

8 EXT. RESIDENTIAL(esque) STREET - NIGHT 8

Mitch and DJ come sprinting down the street and decide to hop the shoddy wooden fence guarding the bushes from overflowing into the street in order to escape the police. The fence belongs to a poorly-painted brown and yellow two-story house painted orange by streetlights. Similar streetlights and shoddy houses line the street.

MITCH DJ! DJ! DJ! Jump into that bush with me!

DJ

What! Okay! (The two hop the fence, DJ diving. Momentarily the two officers run past.)

MITCH Oh man, what a terrible night to meet the fuzz.

DJ Hey look man, the doors unlocked!

MITCH What the! DJ, you can’t just!

DJ Hush man, I’m shaking in my boots, this is Indian Country! I bet they have some sweet Indian booze! It’s Bombay House! (Pointing at a dimly lit nearby sign painted ‘BOMBAY HOUSE’)

MITCH Don’t do this man.

DJ Relax! It’s a cakewalk. Get the booze, get more drunk! C’mon!

MITCH Ugh! Alright, but hurry! Get the door closed!

DJ Restockin’ our supplies. Hah, look around man!

DJ swings his arms wide in the near pitch black room and accidently knocks a pot onto the ground. It clanks loudly.

DJ Shit son.

In turning to pick it up, he stumbles, and has to catch his weight on his arms, but his stomach shifts too, and he is forced to release it, unfortunately into the pot. Unable to see the difference, he lifts it back onto a nearby countertop.

MITCH Did you..? Are you alright DJ? Where are you?

DJ I’m fine man, about lost my cap from that jog.

MITCH Can you see anything?

In the opposite corner of the front door, a light is toggled, now making visible the staircase from which it emanates. Slowly a shadow silhouette of a figure is seen painting the wall. The two boys, finally able to see each other exchange the same expression: Somber terror.

9 EXT. STREETS OF TOWN - NIGHT 9

Victor and Maria are wandering the streets of town.

VICTOR It’s really okay. I know it seems like she’s angry, but I know in my heart that she’s not, because I haven’t done anything wrong all night, don’t you agree?

MARIA (rolls eyes) Victor, it seems like she’s pissed. Actually, I know she’s pissed. But, you could possibly be right, that is, if only pigs could fly. (bursts out in laughter)

VICTOR I don’t even care -- Okay, I do care, but I only care because -

MARIA (interrupting) Victor, I don’t care and I don’t want to hear about it. There’s nothing you can do about it right now, we have to get somewhere before we see more damn cops, and, where the hell are Mitch and DJ? This night is all a horrible mess.

VICTOR (Yelling, looking into sky with agony)

Oh my goodness, Mitch and DJ, I forgot about them!

MARIA Victor, can you shut up!? Stop being so neurotic all the time.

VICTOR Oh, so now I’m ‘neurotic?’ (mocking) Look at me, I am Maria and I am a psychologist, and Victor is ‘neurotic!’

MARIA Whatever. And can you walk like you’re not currently incapable of walking since you’re drunk past legal intoxication levels, and our other friends were just running from the cops because of their intoxication.

VICTOR Okay, first of all, I am walking perfectly fine. Why don’t you - (attempting to walk in a straight line) open your eyes a little more, huh? (stumbles) I told you.

Maria is silent. Victor does not notice.

VICTOR What if this is the end of the world?

MARIA Well, it’s not.

VICTOR You don’t know that.

MARIA Yes I do.

VICTOR How?

MARIA Because we are going to go to Denny’s, which is open twenty-four hours, so everything will be fine. Come on.

Maria grabs Victor’s hand as she pulls him, they begin jogging.

10 INT. DENNY’S DINER - NIGHT 10

Inside the diner, Victor plugs in his phone and sees that he has 15 unread texts from his girlfriend.

11 INT. BOMBAY HOUSE - NIGHT 11

Mitch and DJ, inside the downstairs of Bombay House, see light emanating from the top of a staircase opposite the front door, and a figure’s shadow slowly filling out. They realize that it is probably the owner (Sanjesh).

MITCH (whispering) Oh shit, get down!

DJ What the hell are we going to do?

MITCH Die.

DJ Besides that? (ducking)

MITCH We’ve really done it this time. (looking around)

SANJESH Who is here!? (awkward silence) If anyone is here, come out now before I call the police!

MITCH Put him in the freezer.

DJ What are you -

MITCH (emphasizing) In the freezer! Put him in the freezer!

SANJESH I hear you! Come out now! I will bomb this whole building up with you all inside of it!

Mitch and DJ come out of hiding. Sanjesh yelps like a woman and charges at DJ while swinging a giant wooden spoon. DJ stands awkwardly, while Mitch charges the Bombay House Owner.

MITCH (Yelling) In the freezer!

SANJESH (Shrieking) Get your damn hands off me! You idiots will pay for this, I have cameras everywhere in this store!

DJ We’ve got to get the hell out of here!

MITCH Hell yeah we do.

SANJESH I am calling the police, you all better not go anywhere!

DJ and Mitch sprint out of Bombay House.

DJ Bro, good call, you really had my back, back there.

MITCH (laughing) Wow, we had to get out of there somehow.

DJ I can’t wait to tell Victor and Maria about this.

MITCH Oh gosh, where are Maria and Victor!?

DJ What if they are dead?

MITCH Can you stop? They are definitely alive. You know Victor’s girlfriend would have called by now if Victor were dead. She would be the first to know.

DJ and Mitch both laugh in hesitation.

DJ She’s psycho.

MITCH Is that Maria, over there in Denny’s?

DJ No way, that’s definitely her.

MITCH I wonder why she’s alone.

12 INT. DENNY’S DINER - NIGHT 12

Mitch and DJ walk into Denny’s and see Maria, and across from her is Victor who is laying down texting with tears in his eyes.

MARIA (shocked) Mitch, DJ, Oh thank god! Where the hell have you guys been? Victor has been crying for an hour because he thinks his girlfriend left him, but all he wants to do is see that slut he was kissing.

DJ Yeah well, we’ve been stuck in a stink hole, putting men in freezers.

MITCH Long story. Victor, are you okay?

(Victor nods)

MARIA We need to take a bus and go back to the dorms.

13 EXT. DUNN MEADOW - NIGHT 13

DJ, Maria, Mitch, and Victor stand on the sidewalk looking into an empty, foggy Dunn Meadow. The street behind them is empty of cars. All else is dark and quiet. Victor is in the middle, checking his phone, the screen illuminating the group. DJ sways as he leans on the sidewalk chain railing. Maria and Mitch are keeping watch.

VICTOR (texting) I think she’s finally asleep. Maybe.

MARIA (pointing) We should go that way then cut across...

MITCH What? No way. Let’s take the shortcut. Ah! (Hops over rail, slides down grassy slope)

DJ Haha! Mr. Cool. (leans over rail)

MITCH (Italian accent with a thumb up ~ Mario) That’sa me!

DJ (spits) Uhh, not again. (flips over rail onto back, gurgles when he lands, and stares up at stars)

MITCH (laughing) Oh man. (doubles over) Nice one.

DJ Ow. Man down. (chews, spits, clears throat) I thik I swallowed some. Yum. (spits)

VICTOR Yeah, she’s probably dreaming about me right now.

MARIA

(scoffs) Oh come on. (walks around rail to help DJ up)

VICTOR (putting phone away) What? I dream about her...

DJ (Taking Maria’s hand) Hmmm, you know from here, Maria, you look pretty hot. (head hits ground as Maria lets go) Ouch! (sits up, rubbing head)

MARIA (Shouting) Hey Mitch!

Frat boys appear again, entering Dunn Meadow from the top of the sidewalk steps and climbing over a stone wall. Chad leads them, pointing at Mitch and clapping his brothers on the back.

MITCH (slow motion) What the...

Frat boys let out a battle cry and charge the field.

MARIA (roaring and grabbing Victor) Go!

VICTOR (panicked, trying to grab DJ) DJ!

DJ (still sitting) Leave me! Go! Go!

Victor sprints ahead of Maria. Mitch stops at the edge of the Jordan River, and catches Victor. The two look back to Maria.

MITCH Come on! Hurry!

MARIA (growling) Men.

Frat boys are closing the distance. Maria looks back, then sprints at full tilt, cursing.

VICTOR (sarcastic) Thanks Mitch. (starts to cross the stream)

MARIA (passing Mitch) Thanks Mitch! (leaps into stream and trudges on)

MITCH (crossing stream) You’re welcome.

CHAD (shrieking, outrunning brothers) Mitch!

MARIA (lurches to a stop) Flaming monkey shit balls! I’m stuck! (awkwardly tries to balance while pulling free from knee-deep mud) Mitch!

Mitch, after making it across, turns to look while catching his breath. Victor is almost across then turns back to help Maria. Both cursing and grunting, they get her mud-clumped leg free and finish fording the River Jordan

MITCH Why does Chad have to be such a dick?

MARIA If I recall, what caused all this was your... Damn! I lost a shoe! (stomps)

VICTOR (consolatory grin) Sorry. We should get going.

MARIA (grumble) You owe me a shoe now too, Mitch. Hear me. (hobbles along at a quick pace with Victor)

MITCH Yeah yeah.

Frat boys run up to and stop at the stream, colliding like a train wreck. Chad with some mud in his hair is knocked into the stream. He stands up, soaked, and screams toward the sky. Maria, Mitch, and Victor are nowhere in sight.

CHAD (Climbing out of stream) Inconceivable! You morons! (punches nearest brother)

14 EXT. OUTSIDE DORMS - DAWN 14

Quiet dim light gradually increases, shifting hues. Sarah is sitting on a bench talking on phone, waves to Mitch.

MITCH Sarah? What are you doing still up? (sitting down next to her)

SARAH (to phone) Oh, yeah, um, uh, yeah, okay, sure (smiles at Mitch) Hey look I gotta go. Why? Well... because my new boyfriend is here. No? What? No! I do not!

VICTOR (quietly) Hey Mitch, we should uh...

SARAH (chippy) Love you! Bye! (hangs up turning to Mitch) Hey!

MITCH (Trying to be suave, putting an arm around her and leaning in) Hey you. So you miss me already, or are you having trouble sleeping without me?

MARIA

(grumbling, pulling Victor away) Ugh, gag. Idiot. (sits impatiently)

SARAH (Leaning closer) Friends of yours? (Sighs, grabbing Mitch’s hand)

MITCH (leaning closer) Don’t worry about them. They’re over there, they’re nobodies. (Maria clears her throat, audibly) While you and I have this bench all to ourselves.

Maria and Victor get up. Mitch tries to pull Sarah closer while puckering his lips. In the distance a bell chimes out the hour. Sarah’s smile changes and she pushes Mitch away.

MITCH (falling off bench) Huh? I thought...

SARAH (laughs) It’s only college. Grow up.

Victor’s phone begins to ring. He pulls it out and hits ignore.

MARIA Mitch? You wrapped up at this juncture? Right?

SARAH Um, yeah, you all might want to go now.

Mitch mumbles, walking away. He stops as the frat boys appear again.

CHAD Long time no see ladies. Ready to get your…

MARIA DJ!?

MITCH DJ?… DJ! Whatever you did to DJ you’re gonna pay.

CHAD Your friend is…

DJ (steps forward)

Hey guys

MITCH You ok?

DJ Relax I’m fine

MITCH what are you doing?

VICTOR & MARIA (behind Mitch)

Yeah

CHAD He’s one of--

MITCH You’re an idiot

DJ Why? ‘Cause I’ve made the right choice. Sorry Mitch but you don’t understand how important rushing is. You’re the dumb one.

MITCH No you’re an idiot because we’re roommates and your toothbrush has a date with my balls.

DJ What! Oh well then I guess I’m keeping your--

CHAD Oh to hell with this! You girls take forever to break up

(wide swing/haymaker at Mitch)

MARIA Mitch!

(Pulls Mitch back with one hand, steps and catches Chad’s wrist with other hand, sadistic grin while twisting arm. Chad in pain)

SANJESH Oh no’s what is this going on here?

Indians appear armed w/ various utensils. Maria lets go Why are you picking on the missus? And you! You like to throw poor Sanjesh in the fridge for fun no? And you! Why do you ruin Babaji’s beautiful Baingan Bharta?

(points at DJ)

CHAD Whoa. Apu back it up. DJ’s one of us now, so if--

SANJESH Oh is that so? Yes? Then I will make well to crack your noggin first!

CHAD We can take ‘em boys. We’ll get the threesome afterwards. Let’s send these natives back to their casinos! I want my scalps!

ALL BUT CHAD Huh?

SANJESH Pardon me, we are most of us Indians, <1Mexican>

CHAD Whatever! You<terrorists/towelheads>all the same! (Chaos! battle cries India! Kali! Jesus, fuck, punk, Bro- lets go

Maria helps Mitch sneak away, Victor runs into Sara and helps her get out of the chaos. They two pairs appear some distance apart, Mitch waves to Victor before being pulled away. Flashing lights approach

15 INT. MONTAGE - VARIOUS PLACES DAWN 15

Victor is showing Sara his room, surprisingly swank, answers cell phone

VICTOR (To phone)

Relax its college, chill out. (tosses phone)

DJ, Chad, and frats are huddled around each other in the drunk tank among vagrants. Chad and Sanjesh are leaning their heads on each other, asleep.

Maria steps into her room her girlfriend has fallen asleep playing video game. Maria turns everything off, wakes girlfriend up with kiss, gets pulled down.

GIRLFRIEND Ehh, where were you? Not babysitting again?

MARIA Shhh

Mitch stumbles into his room, kicking off shoes struggling with cloths drops onto to bed, grabs pillow, starts to snore, alarm goes off, rolls off bed

MITCH Who assigns class at 8 am...

Costume Design description: The first outfit is for the character Victor.

This character is very timid, antsy, picky, and neat, and on top of that he has a girlfriend. So the khaki shorts, the polo, with the polo hat and the Sperry’s show a very clean male who cares about his image, but is still in college. The cap and the khaki’s were supposed to give off the “college vibe.”

The second outfit is for the character Maria.

This character Maria is a much laid back type of girl. She does not care too much about what people think, yet she is still very presentable. The dark jeans, with the dark top, sandals and watch; really match her personality. Overall, her outfit is very simple, with darker colors. Yet, her sandals are quite appealing, and her top though it is black, is slightly seductive, and her simple necklace is dashing as well and adds more appeal.

5 Scouted Locations

Location 1 – Indian Restaurant (Stand in for Bombay House)

Location 2 – Frat House (Stand in for Delta Beta Gamma)

Location 3 – Dunn Meadow

Location 4 – Late Night Diner (Scene of Opening Conversation and Victor/Maria dialogue)

Location 5 – Dormitory (site of ending battle)

NOTE: I chose this site because of how the path’s coalesce, symbolic of all of the subplots coming together in this scene.

5 Songs For the Soundtrack

1. Black Eyed Peas – I Gotta Feeling Context: The opening montage. The song has a good expression of being prepared to go out and is an apt fit for a collection of scenes about people getting ready to party. Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSD4vsh1zDA

2. Jurassic Park ST – Raptor Attack Context: The scene in the kitchen. This scene was intended to be a parody of the raptor scene in the first Jurassic Park, so it makes sense to use the same music. It’s incredibly eerie, atmospheric music that would fit the scene quite well. Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1GRTzQW8u0

3. Beck – Chemtrails Context: The closing chase. We’d use the 2nd half of this song, using the quiet part during the scene right before the massive end chase and then using the 90 second loud breakdown at the end for the large chase and fight scene. Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeiFVfyiSiw

4. Ennio Morricone – The Mission Context: Closing montage. This song is meant to be played with a bit of irony. It’s an incredibly beautiful piece of music and it will be set against ravaged bodies of young, partied-out college freshman.

5. Oregon Trail II – Oregon Trail Theme Context: Closing credits. A reference back to the game that inspired this movie. Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IEZl0Jq-TM
