PAGE 1.  PANEL 1.

Chino, smoking, is in shorts, low top converse, hat, and white t-shirt, sunglasses.  Myung is in a yellow sundress, sun hat, flip flops, and has an umbrella, sunglasses.  Chi is in a wife beater, cut off shorts, and flip flops, he has a fedora on, sunglasses on.  He has a small weed, glass pipe.  Mala, smoking, is in short shorts, black wife beater, bra straps showing, vans slip ons, and sunglasses.

The four characters are walking behind and in front of groups of people along a line of port-o-potties behind fences.  Their feet are a little dirty already from the ground being somewhat muddy. 

Myung:  “That is a lovely smell.”

Chino:  “Ah, that shit has been baking in this heat for only a few hours, imagine what it’s going to be like on Sunday.”

Chi:  “I’m pretty sure they empty ‘em.  Don’t they Mala?”

Mala:  “Oh, for sure, or else there would be a mountain of shit.  The health authorities would be all over this place. But it doesn’t get much better inside.”

PAGE 1.  PANEL 2. 

Chino is now smoking the weed pipe, they continue to walk, they are in a line.  Chi is resting his arm on Mala’s shoulder.  Mala looks at him.

Myung:  “How many years have you come here?”

Mala:  “This is my third.  I know it seems like a lot of money at first, but you get three days of music, and you’ll probably see like thirty bands, and you’re paying three hundred.  So, it’s like seeing TOOL or Radiohead for 10 bucks.”

Chi:  “That’s so cool Mala, who else have you seen?”

PAGE 1.  PANEL 3.

Mala is being searched by a female security guard.  Chi is hiding the pipe in his underwear.

Mala:  “The cure, Public Enemy, Gnarls Barkley, The Black Keys, Damien Marley, Nine Inch Nails…”

PAGE 1.  PANEL 4.

Mala is through the security passage, so is everyone else, chino is putting his hat back on.

Mala:  “…The Rapture, Rage, and so many others.  It’s totally worth it.”

Chino:  “Then let’s get fucked up on some drugs and watch some music.”

Chi:  “Listen to music, not see it.”

Chino:  “We should be so high we’re seeing it.”

Myung: “Oh god…”

PAGE 2 & 3.  DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD.

The four of them are like ants now in an over head shot that sees how vast the festival is.  I’ll attach a picture of the Polo field so you know what you’re drawing.  But to give a general description, it has five separate stages that are about a football field apart in some cases.  There is a giant Ferris Wheel, sculptures throughout the grounds, a rave tent towards what could be called the center.  Food booths, merchandise booths line and surround the interior of the festival.  Porta potties enclaves separate some the stages as do beer gardens with food booths that line them and create borders for them.  It’ll be easier when you see the picture. 

Myung:  “…this is going to be lovely.”

Chi:  “Who do you want to see first?”

Chino: “Let me check a schedule.”

Mala:  “They’re over here, next to the merch booth.”

PAGE 4.  PANEL 1.

Chino is smoking some more weed.

Myung:  “Take it easy Chong.”

Chi:  “HA! You can be Cheech and Chong ‘cus you’re Mexican and Chinese.  I love it.”

Mala: “Burn.”

PAGE 4.  PANEL 2.

Chino blows out smoke.

Chino:  “Fuck you guys.”

Mala:  “It says that MGMT is playing at the Mojave tent.

Chino:  “Hell yea!”

Chi:  “I’m bummed we missed the first day.”

Mala:  “It’s cool, still a ton of shit to see.”

Myung:  “Plus DAFT PUNK!  I’m going to be dancing my ass off.”

PAGE 4.  PANEL 3.

Our four characters stand in the tent listening to the band.  It’s hot, so they’re all sweating.  Myung has folded her umbrella up.  They’re sunglasses are off, lying on their heads or tucked into their shirts or shorts.  Mala smokes and listens.

Chi is putting something new into his pipe.

Chi:  “Got some salvia.”

Chino:  “Light it.”

Music:  “Where we can crush some plants to paint my walls,
And I won't try to fight in the weekend wars
Was I? I was to lazy to bathe…”

PAGE 4.  PANEL 4.

Chino smokes the Salvia. 

Music: “…Or paint or write or try to make a change.
Now I can shoot a gun to kill my lunch
And I don't have to love or think too much…”

PAGE 4.  PANEL 5.

Tight shot of Chino’s eyes.

PAGE 5.  PANEL 1.

The man walks around shooting random people and things.  Chino is at the end of a long line of bodies.

I been down for years
Jesus, come closer
I think my time is near…”

Chino:  “I…”

PAGE 5.  PANEL 2.

The Man: “And I've traveled over
Dry earth and floods
Hell and high water
To bring you my love…”

PAGE 5.  PANEL 3.

Chino is floating in the white space, a bullet hole through his head.  Wikki and Mythos walk next to him.

Chino:  “Where am I?”

Wikki:  “Stuck in your head.”

Mythos:  “In Hell.”

PAGE 5.  PANEL 4.

Chino is hearing a bunch of noise around him, he’s doubled over in pain.  Mala is in front of him, she is slapping his face.

Chino:  “STOP IT!”

Mala:  “QUIT BEING A BITCH AND HANDLE YOUR SHIT!”

PAGE 5.  PANEL 5.

Chino straightens up.  Mala and Myung stand next to him.

Mala:  “What’d aunt Kim always say?”

Chino:  “’If you can’t handle you’re shit, don’t do it.”

Mala:  “That was you not handling you’re shit.”

Chino:  “Sorry.  Where’s Chi?”

Myung:  “Not handling his shit.”

PAGE 5.  PANEL 6.

Chi is hugging the grass, and smiling.  The rest of them look down at him.

Mala:  “We’re related to some bitches.”

Myung:  “Don’t remind me.”

Two Mexican males, part of the Latin Gang the Latin Kings, in their 20’s stand outside a bar.  One of them has a phone out, it is playing music.  Mexican youth 1 is wearing a bandana, a hat, a collared button up, sagging Ben Davis pants, and a wife beater with his shirt hanging out of his back pocket, converse.  Mexican youth 2 is wearing a shirt with a gold/yellow tint all over, a yellow bandana, black jeans, and Adidas.

Mexican Youth 1:  “I hear Garcia’s going to trial soon.”

Mexican Youth 2:  “Yeah?  Can’t believe some snitch was up in here and nobody got him.  That’s some fucking bullshit.”

PAGE 8.  PANEL 1.

It is now evening at the Coachella music festival, the sun is not all the way down yet though, it’s created a reddish hue above the mountains, and it’s a little darker on the polo field.

Chino and Myung are sitting on the grass, we can see the legs of Mala and Chi, in addition to the legs of many other attendees.  Chino is handing the weed pipe upward, Chi’s arm is descending from above the panel line to take the pipe.  Myung is raising her arm that has a bottle of water in it, she’s about to drink form it.  Chino has a cigarette in his free hand.

Myung:  “How come you want to get so fucked up this weekend?”

Chino:  “I don’t know.  I just do.  Can’t ignore my id.”

Myung:  “What’s that?”

Chino:  “Freud said all you’re basic animal instinct desires and wants derive from you’re id.”

Myung:  “What stops us from doing whatever we want then?”

PAGE 8.  PANEL 2.

Chino is smoking a cigarette.  Myung is putting her cap on a bottle of water.

Chino: “Our super-ego.  It’s puts the breaks on whatever we think is wrong and we cannot do.  Of course it doesn’t always work, or else we’d be a vice, violence, and sex free society.”

Myung:  “How do you determine what’s wrong?”

Chino:  “I don’t know.  Some stuff you just know, like killing some one is bad.  But other things like stealing and stuff, well the Rev helped me with a lot of that.  You?”

Myung:  “I just think about the type of person I wouldn’t like to be around, and what they would do, and I try to act like the opposite of that person.”

PAGE 8.  PANEL 3.

Chino has taken his hat off, his hair is matted down because of the heat and sweat.

Chino:  “That’s what Jung calls the shadow.  All you’re negative emotions, all the things that you consider alien and opposite.  Funny thing is, we have all this inside us, it’s just choosing who you want to be, you know?”

Myung:  “Yeah.  So, you going to keep getting fucked up today?”

Chino:  “Make you a deal:  Yes, I am still going to mess myself up tonight, but nothing tomorrow, I swear.”

Myung:  “Yeah, sure.”

PAGE 8.  PANEL 4.

Chino puts his pinky out.

Chino:  “Pinky swear.”

Myung: “The most holiest of promises.  You know I’ll dump you’re ass if you break a pinky swear.”

Chino:  “I know.”

PAGE 8.  PANEL 5.

Their pinkie’s are interlocked.

Chino:  “I swear I will only get fucked up tonight, and not tomorrow.”

Myung:  “Kiss you’re thumb.”

PAGE 8.  PANEL 6.

Myung:  “Put ‘em together.”

PAGE 8.  PANEL 7.

Chino’s and Myung’s thumbs meet.

PAGE 9.  PANEL 1.

Milo and Wintergreen Sit at a table, a map of Earth is behind them with dots marking up bits of each country on the planet.  Kind of like the underground lab in Dr. Strangelove.

Milo:  “I can’t believe it’s almost complete.”

Wintergreen:  “We’ve worked long and hard.”

Milo:  “It will all just make sense.  Once everyone has to do what we tell them, they will finally listen to us.”

Wintergreen:  “They won’t be able to argue with us.”

PAGE 9.  PANEL 2.

Milo is standing looking at the map of earth.

Milo:  “So long ago on Pianosa I could not have imagined this is where we would have ended up, but once we made that deal with Strangelove to steal all of his plane designs and not pay him, well we were a legitimate business to be reckoned with, and nothing was going to stand in our way.”

Wintergreen:  “How many more places do we need to go to collect these kids?”

PAGE 9.  PANEL 3.

Wintergreen is standing next to Milo, they are both looking up at the map.

Milo:  “As many as we need to.  Blicero says these kids are the key components, we need to take as many of them as we can.  When they have to work for us they will know what it is to truly love their jobs.”

Wintergreen:  “Have you seen Blicero recently?”

Milo:  “Not in the past couple days.”

Wintergreen:  “Keeps talking about god, I was wondering if you knew if he was going to church.”

PAGE 9.  PANEL 4.

Just a shot of the map.

Milo (off panel):  “Probably just trying to get somewhere higher.”

Wintergreen (off panel):  “Do you mean literally, or figuratively?”

Milo (off panel):  “Yes, we’re all just trying to get higher.”

Wintergreen (off panel):  “Literally or figuratively?”

PAGE 10.  PANEL 1.

Milo has walked to a control panel.  He is next to a microphone.

Milo:  “Tell the doctors to start prepping the patients with the suggestion.”

Wintergreen:  “Okay.”

PAGE 10.  PANEL 2.

Wintergreen is right next to Milo, reaching his arm uncomfortably in front of Milo’s face and arms to reach the mike.

Wintergreen:  “Doctors, please begin prepping our patients with the information they will need.”

PAGE 10.  PANEL 3.

Milo stomps his fist into his other hand.

Milo:  “Finally, Wintergreen, it will all be mine.”

Wintergreen:  “Ours?”

Milo:  “What is good for me is good for us.”

Wintergreen:  “So, us then.”

PAGE 10.  PANEL 4.

Milo puts his hand on Wintergreen’s shoulder.

Milo:  “Yes, mine.  I’m so glad you understand.”

PAGE 10.  PANEL 5.

Milo has walked off.  Wintergreen stands alone looking at the map.  Sulking over, about to walk off panel.

Wintergreen:  “Shit.  Maybe I should have clarified better.”

Wintergreen:  “Wonder if good old Aarfy is still hiring.”

PAGE 10.  PANEL 6.

A big glowing spike is on the map in southern California, this is Chino coming fully awake to his abilities.

PAGE 11.  PANEL 1.

Chino walks with Chi, while Myung and Mala walk ahead of them.

Chino:  “Dude, so promise not to tell?’

Chi:  “What now, have you been flying and you didn’t tell me?”

Chino:  “Not about that dickhole, but something weird did happen earlier after that Salvia, I’ll tell you about it later.  No, something else.”

Chi:  “What?”

PAGE 11.  PANEL 2.

Chino pulls out a bag, it has a bunch of small crystals in it that look like salt.  This is ketamine.

Chino:  “I got some ketamine.”

Chi:  “Dude, when are we going to take it?”

Chino:  “I figure now, we walk off to go the bathroom, and they save us a spot.”

Chi:  “K.”

PAGE 11.  PANEL 3.

Chi and Chino start to walk the opposite way of the girls.

Chi: “Hey, we’re going for a piss.”

Myung:  “Thanks.”

Mala:  “Gross.”

PAGE 11.  PANEL 4.

The boys find a spot next to a some trash and Chino opens the bag.

Chi:  “Here.”

PAGE 11.  PANEL 5.

Chino and Chi are looking down into the baggy, we see their faces as if we’re looking up from the bag.

Chino:  “This is going to be crazy.”

Chi:  “Fucking fun.”

PAGE 12.  PANEL 1.

Mala and Myung stand outside the tent, it’s lit up, and there is a big crowd of people.

Myung:  “You ever see them before?”

Mala:  “Daft Punk?  I wish.  They were supposed to play here a couple years back, but couldn’t ‘cus one of them got sick.  I’m sure their going to kill it to make up for it.”

Myung:  “Sounds awesome.”

Mala:  “Tell me something?”

PAGE 12.  PANEL 2.

Myung takes a cigarette from Mala.

Mala:  “Why my cousin?  You’re a hottie, and he’s a big dork, plus you’re older.  So why?  Here.”

Myung:  “Thanks.  Honestly?  I didn’t know why at first.  He was cute, and funny.  But then I started to realize he treated me better than anyone I had ever dated before.  Yeah he doesn’t have a lot of money like somebody a little older, but what he does have he tends to spend on me, buying little presents.  It’s cute.”

PAGE 12.  PANEL 3.

Mala is taking out a flask.

Mala:  “What about when he does dumb shit, like earlier?”

Myung:  “Everybody does dumb shit, it’s just bound to happen.  His dumb shit is way further down on the stupid scale than some of the guys I’ve dated, and some that you’ve dated too, if I remember.”

Mala:  “True.  Guess ‘cus we’re related I don’t get it.”

PAGE 12.  PANEL 4.

Myung continues to talk while Mala takes a swig from her flask.

Myung:  “Speaking of stupid young men, how bout my brother?”

PAGE 12.  PANEL 5.

Mala lurches forward, as if to spit out her drink, she has a blowfish face and bug eyes.

PAGE 12.  PANEL 6.

Mala swallows the drink, harshly.

PAGE 13.  PANEL 1.

Mala looks at Myung.

Mala:  “Ah, you bitch, you almost made me spit out that whiskey.”

Myung:  “Come on, what’s wrong with him?”

Mala:  “Ewww, he’s like Chino, just dorkier.”

Myung:  “Ah, don’t say that, or I’m going to start thinking of Chino as my brother.”

Mala:  “Hahaha,  that’s what you get.”

PAGE 13.  PANEL 2.

Chino and Chi are walking towards them.

Chino:  “We’re back.”

Chi:  “Oh shit, just in time too, they’re starting.”

PAGE 13.  PANEL 3.

Chino is taking a strange looking pip from another concert goer.  In the crowd behind him is the man in white.  Myung, Mala, and Chi look forward, waiting for them to play.

Concert goer:  “D.M.T., got it from somebody else.”

MUSIC: ROOOOBOOOOOT

PAGE 14-15.  SPLASH PAGES.

Chino is at the Daft Punk concert, but it seems like reality is melting around him, aliens and, and images of other things are coming in.  There are silvery blobs around, a Giant red orb that looks like an ovum is prominent in the cent of the panel.  I want this to look like a psychedelic mental break down.  You might want to put tears or cracks on the page to add to his actual break up.  In the top left corner is a smaller inlayed panel of Chino puking up silvery looking material.  In the lower right hand corner is an inlayed panel of him smoking D.M.T. and opposite is him looking into the bag of Ketamine.

MUSIC: HUUUUUUMMMMMMAAAAANNNNN

PAGE 18.  PANEL 2.

Blicero moves his arm in an arch.  This is to be reminiscent of a rainbow or parabola shape.  This should look like his arm is moving from the U.S. to China.

The same initial picture from the first panel, but it has five cracks, all centered around Chino’s face and head area, symbolizing what’s to come.

Joshua:  “What’s up?” 

Chino (caption):  “…that you hope you’re strong enough to survive.”

THE END
