Script by Jake Perry:
A boy is sitting in his dorm room waiting in anticipation, his roommate rushes inside, smiling full of excitement. He pulls out a plastic bag containing four small squares of paper and dangles it in front of his face then tosses it to his roommate.
Tony: There we go, there we go!
(he begins dancing and singing)
Tony: We’re going on a trip in our favorite rocket ship!
Sean: Wow…ok… this … is …acid.
Tony: Si senior, well technically the guy told me its called spontaneous concussion, but yea man, couple tic tacs for our knowledge sacs. HA!
-Sean holding the bag up to the light-
Sean: They’re so small. Why are there four of them? Com’ on Tony I sai-
ooiTony: ya ya ya ya I know what you said seany boy. It’s your first time you don’t wanna freak out and **mumbles**, but listen I’ve done it multiple times and im telling you the guys who sell this shit on campus aren’t gonna make money by selling grade A Beatle juice for 15 bucks a snack. They cut it, so instead of a full drop per tab they’re running a half drop every tab thus equals 2 tabs per 1 hit. You smelling what im steppin in?
-Still holding the bag, Sean stares at Tony about to argue but with his inexperience in the drug world cannot come up with anything solid to get behind.
Tony: Trust me, Im a business major baby.
Tony’s big smile turns to a sly convincing grin. Sean laughs
Sean: You took one business class, and watched Wall Street. I wouldn’t get to ahead of yourself and who are you Vince Vaughn? Don’t call me baby.
Tony: Deal! Ok, now, shall we clothe ourselves in the appropriate attire?
Sean hesitates for a moment looking at the bag in his hand. He smiles and looks at Tony
Sean: Andale!
Cut to them sitting in front of their T.V., holding up the tabs to toast. Fully decked out in tie dye.
Sean nervously glances between Tony and the tabs in front of them.
Tony: Easy grasshoppah. Remember its all about the journey
Sean: Oh good idea lets listen to journey while we trip!
Tony: Dude no. I fucking hate journey, if you play journey again, I will literally throw myself out the fuckin window.
Sean throws his hands up by his face
Sean: Fiiiiine no journey, but they have good songs. People like journey!
Tony: Nobody likes journey, the only people who like Journey are the same people who smoke meth in exchange for hand jobs in the parking lot at rest stops.
Both boys laughs. Tony taps his tabs against Sean’s
Tony: Here we go buddy, Just a walk in the park
They take their tabs. We’re now 45 mins later. The boys are now half way through Alice in wonderland. They are both visibly bored. Sean turns to Tony.
Sean: So this is it huh? I guess my expectations were higher. I don’t really feel much.
Tony: Ya, maybe that guy was full of shit. But I feel a little something and its only been about 45 minutes. Takes a little while to kick in.
Tony turns to Sean. Seans starring at Tony with an intensely confused look. Tony laughs
Tony: Might a spoke too soon, ay?
Sean sees Tony’s head has been replaced with the head of a cockroach
Sean: WHOA! No!
Tony recognizes Sean is beginning to panic and tries to bring him back down.
Tony: Chill Seany boy. You’re fine, just a visual. Not real.
Sean abruptly stands up. He’s not hearing the words of Tony but the sounds of creepy crawlies.
Tony: Hey relax Sean. Breath! It’s just the acid. Everything’s ok.
Sean lets out a high pitched scream and runs out of the room and down the hallway. Tony follows after him still appearing to Sean as the cockroach man.
Sean runs out of the dormitory doors and straight into the Mall downtown Bangor. He turns around and the cockroach man is nowhere to be seen. He takes a deep breath and continues to walk around the mall. Begins to relax and actual enjoy his trip. Going into some shops and begins trying on clothes. Laughing to himself he dances in front of the mirrors and parades throughout the mall. He’s stopped by a girl who offers him a free sample of lotion.
Lotion Girl: Would you like to try some coconut cream body lotion? Smells and feels amazing!
Sean: Not usually a lotion guy, but squirt me baby!
//..;.
The girl gives him a look thats a mixture of confusion and concern. Sean clears his throat and straights his face.
Sean: yea I’ll try some, thank you.
She applies a few pumps of lotion in his hand. He thanks her and walks away and begins rubbing the lotion on his arm and notices its cold, actually, freezing cold. He applies it to his other arm. He starts to giggle.
Sean: Oh god, please don’t make me laugh again.
He starts laughing and rubbing the lotion on faster. At this point he’s historically laughing when he hears someone
Tony: There you are! What are you doing?
He stops and looks around. Hes outside in the middle of the mall on campus. No shirt on and rubbing snow all over his arms. He pauses for a moment to take it all in. Then looks across the mall towards his friend.
Sean: What the fuck Tony!?
