A fence? Fan? Are you sure?

Yes, I spy something

You can't. I named everything.

Duh! Dad's fart?

That's not fair.
That was 15 minutes ago.

Plus, it has to be an object

The sun?

Very good.

So, you're heading out

Yeah, yeah, actually,

Whoo! Is this the rideshare?

You must be trip. The only.

Nelson, what's up, bro?

Hey, this is cookie, Jack...

♪ ♪

so any of you ever been
to area 52 before?

I went last year.

And?

It is way by far
the best party in the desert.

I'll be spinning at
the abduction pavilion.

You should check out my set.

So what about you, Gretchen?

I'm meeting
my boyfriend up there.

I heard she's dating
my totally hot ecology teacher!

How do you know Gretchen?

She's one
of my discussion leaders.

What about you, trip?

There are these girls that paint
their bodies in berries

and they walk around topless.

You are gonna die when you see it,
bro. Boob heaven.

Rub it in!

Why?

I can't see.

No, really. I'm blind.

That's a good one!

Do you have to practice that
at home?

What happened?

Jarts when I was six.

After my accident, they stopped
making them metal-tipped.

No, that was you?

The all-plastic ones
never took air.

They sucked.

Yeah, we thank my brother
for that.

Sorry.

No! Really?

Someone point me
to the gentlemen's room?

Oh, of course. Right this way.

I'm sorry about trip.
We're in the same frat.

That's it.

Jack can take care of himself.

That guy's good!

Assholes!

Wasn't me!

Is he really...?

Uh-huh.

Bet I can make it up to him.
Check this out.

You did not?

Oh, yeah, I did.

Never leave me alone in a room...
As a rule,

with anyone or anything.

That dude's crazy.

He lost his medical license
for sleeping with a cadaver.

Oh, yeah, I heard she was hot.

And he was the one
who killed her.

That's just too much legend
put on any one person.

Who's this?

Besides, what he doesn't know
won't hurt me.

Yo?

I may be crazy,
but I am not stupid.

I got one word for you...
Web cam.

Hey, I don't know
what you're talking about.

Shut your fucking mouth,
you condescending piece of shit.

You kidnapped my babies,

slid them into
your blue backpack,

took off with your friends
in a Woody.

Now I want them back.
I miss them very much.

Area 52, kilton in two hours.
You're not there, you're dead.

Bro, ask around.
I always keep my promises.

Who's that?

Wrong number.

Lost control of the semi truck
when the driver fell asleep

at the wheel.

So what's with the name?

The guys at the house
started calling me "trip"

because they said I was one.

What about "cookie"?
Where does that come from?

My parents let me choose
my name when I was three.

If my parents let me choose at that age,
I'd be "fire truck."

I'd be "pee pee."

Figures.

You know,
you should be nice to me.

Why?

Cuz daddy can make your day.

Is that e?

Oh, yeah.

There's a lot more
where that came from.

Where?

My pack.

Like how much?

Enough for you, for me,
for everyone in this car,

and about 100
of our best friends.

What?

Don't be paranoid.

I'm all for a good time, but...

Not for doing time?

Right.

I'm not going to dump it.

We're talking, like,
20 grand here, at least.

Fine. Find another ride.

You can't leave me stranded.

Call someone.

There's no signal.

While you all sort this out,
I'm going to use

the little lady's room.

You just went.

Tell that to my bladder.

I don't even know
what the big deal is here.

Nelson, can you give me a hand?

Thanks for your show of support.

We're in a dead spot.

Fifty bucks says that was a 5.2.
Any takers?

Well, if the heat
doesn't get me,

the seismic activity will.

You really shouldn't ditch him
out here without any signal.

Gretchen, come on!

Fine. I'll take you back to the diner,
but that's it.

Did you feel that?

♪ Rolling out tomorrow night,
more than I... ♪

Fuckin...

Come on, give me a choice here.

Driving to the world's
biggest rave

listening to oldies
doesn't work for you?

Music is the accompaniment
to life.

There's a perfect song
for every occasion,

and this isn't it.

What about
"high school graduation?"

Green day's "time of your life"?

No, that was easy.

How about passing
a kidney stone?

Survivor, "eye of the tiger."

Stranded in the desert
dying of thirst.

Chopin's "funeral march"?

That's such a cliche.

Oh, and dying isn't?

Oh, my god!

What?

Looks like we missed
a car accident.

Call 911.

No signal.

Okay, we have to stop.

Well, my set starts in an hour.

Listen.

Hey, accident scene plus cops
equals not really the place

we want to be right now.

It's under control.

I mean, somebody
already called it in.

That's a live-for-the-moment
reminder.

You never know what the next
day, next minute will bring.

Might as well have fun
while you can.

This is it? No goodbyes?

You can thank me
I took you this far.

Don't do this. I vote we vote.

Ugh!

Looks like your gas line's cut.

Cut?

Do you have any duct tape?

Should I?
I have a spanner in the boot.

Go to my backpack, will ya?
In the back zipper.

Grab the rubbers,
I need to patch this.

Seriously?

Unless you have a better idea.

A whole case?

You never know.

Aren't you presumptuous?

Possibly,
if I knew what that meant.

Look what I found!

Did you steal that from trip?

It's not stealing
if you can't give it back!

Yeah, it serves him right.

You okay?

Yeah... yeah, I'm fine.

Something in the air.

All fixed.

I'm sorry to be so lame.

I've just never been one
to take chances.

Hi, I'm trip,
your polar opposite.

So what's the verdict?

We need gas.

The station's doa.

Well, then we'll borrow some.

Where's Jack?

Jack? Jack!

Don't tell me we lost
the blind guy.

I don't hear anything!

He's going dumb now?

Are we at the same place?

Hello?

Anybody home?
Where'd everybody go?

Ooh, could you pass
the meatloaf?

We can use their phone.

I have roadside assistance.

No dial tone.

Oh, what is wrong
with this place?

Every trail we passed
had a satellite dish...

700 channels,
the American dream, right?

We got nothing.

♪ ♪

Anyone home?

We need help with our car.

Back and five, back and five.

Still nothing.

Did you hear that?

What was...

Wait, go back.

No survivors...

Trip, don't move!

What?

An elderly driver lost
control of his mobile home...

There's some sort of disaster.

They closed the roads.

I heard bio.

Like Anthrax?

That explains the busy signals.

I hope nobody's hurt.

Okay, let's not overreact.

We really don't know
what they said.

So we're stuck for the night?

Doesn't sound like we have
a choice.

We should still check
the phones.

Fine. I'll take the first watch.

The water doesn't work.

The bed does.

Where else can you get this kind
of entertainment for a quarter?

You're funny for a blind guy.

Thanks.

Whoa.

What? In-room coffee maker?

Robes and slippers?

Don't move.

I, for one, am not going
to miss the biggest party

on the west coast that I have
been looking forward to all semester.

And if I don't go, I am up shit's creek,
if you have to know.

Ugh, there's got to be gas
in here somewhere.

Could be worse, you know.

For all we knew,
this is a rideshare with dudes

from the wrestling team.

You've got to put
these into perspective...

Two cute girls, beer.

Christ, look at all this shit.

What the hell are those?

Well, you never know
who you're going to run into

in the middle of nowhere, huh?

Yeah, okay.

Look at this.

Ooh, flare gun. Nice.

Sick!

Come on.

Hello?

♪ ♪

Man, let's get out of here.
We're not going to find any gas.

What are you,
afraid of the dark?

No, I'm afraid of psycho
desert trash crack-heads

who hunt small animals
with dahmer's garden tools.

We haven't checked out
this back corner here.

You go ahead.

I'm going to go back with
the girls and the beer and...

Mama's boy got the tinglies
up in his spine?

This is some fucked shit here...
We're one overturned box

away from finding a human hide.

Whatever.

See, that's classic!

What do you think you're doing,
sneaking up people, huh?

There are many flaws
of blindness.

You don't exactly know when
you're sneaking up on people.

Nelson...

Keep an eye on the girls.
I'm gonna go rescue us.

Do you think
this means anything?

Yeah, that some freak stagehand
had a lot of time to kill.

Whoever wrote this is disturbed.

This isn't exactly
a five-star hotel,

which is why I'm staying
in my tent tonight.

I'm going to go up the road
and look around.

I really don't think
we should be going anywhere.

Well, thanks,
miss "spanner in the boot,"

but it's not we, it's me.

Now if you're lucky,
I'll be back with gas.

If not, just look
for the emergency flare.

There was rotting flesh
back there, right?

Yeah. Good nose.

We found somebody's
road-kill collection.

You wanna hold my hand?

Now, you seem nice enough,
but I don't go that way, pal.

Ha, freakin' ha, funny.

No, holding hands is harder.

If you'll just let me grab
a hold of your arm

and you lead the way.

Got it?

Still carry a roll of string
around with me.

I need to move quickly
in an unknown place.

I'll tie off.

That way, I don't have to count
my steps.

No second guessing.

I used to do it all the time
the first few years.

It's like breadcrumbs
for the blind.

Exactly.

We decided to let trip
do all the worrying.

We're breaking out
the cooler box.

Come on.

Don't burn it.

You can smell that?

I have to play make-up
with my other senses.

You know, the sense of smell
is the first one you have

when you're born?

And it's the last sense you have
when you die.

You're not going to start telling
ghost stories now, are you?

'Cause I feel like dancing!

Did you see the news last week?

The FBI's on a manhunt
for a short-order cook

whose special ingredient is
the flesh of his murder victims.

He was last seen working
at a diner in the desert,

off a lonely two-Lane highway.

Someone's up there.

Who?

In the diner. I just saw them.

Are you sure?

I hope you're not looking at me.

I'll stay with Jack
if you two want to go look.

He was standing right there.

Anybody home?

I guess I'm seeing things.
I should know better.

Never take pills from strangers.

How about a, uh, drink
from a guy that you've known

for half a day?

Cookie?

Yeah, I'll have
whatever you're having.

Yo? Yo? I said yo?

All circuits are dead.

We ran out of gas
and we got lost.

I was gonna give it all back.

Here. You can just take it.

Don't make me use this!

What was the last thing
you remember seeing?

The blue sky.

ejected through the windshield,

ruptured jugular.

Female, blonde hair, 20-ish,
internal injuries,

also deceased.

There was a wreck down
the road with a semi-trailer.

Yeah. Have a male, white,
I think.

Worse than the traffic accident
up the road.

This is my third
fatal accident today.

A few miles up, a big rig
slams into an overpass.

Driver fell asleep at the wheel.
An entire family in a minivan.

Don't know how much more of this
I can stomach.

We also have
a deceased elderly gentleman.

Ma'am?

He was driving
and grabbed his chest.

He has a heart problem, so I
thought it was a heart attack.

Then the car just went
out of control.

Talking like 20 grand here
at least.

Fine. Find another ride.

You can't leave me stranded.

Call someone.

There's no signal.

I'm going to use
the little ladies' room.

They never even saw it coming.

Thought it was
a heart attack and...

There's no signal.

We're in a dead spot.

I'm going to use
the little ladies' room.

I have to pee.

Female, internal injuries.

Come on, give me a choice here.

Light brown hair, ejected
through the windshield.

Jarts.

That's the smell... death.

Help! There's been an accident.

Do you remember
much of the crash?

No, except on impact.
It was strange.

I thought I could see,
and I saw you.

How about yourself?

Nothing.
