DANGEROUS DESERT

**DANGEROUS DESERT** is the three-hundred fiftieth video in the lonelygirl15 video series. It is also the ninety-fourth video of season two.

## Transcript

(*It is in the evening in the desert. Jonas is riding on a bike, with Sarah holding the camera and trying to keep up.*)

**Sarah:** Jonas! Slow down!

**Jonas:** Listen, I need--

**Sarah:** Jonas!!

**Jonas:** I need to get to town so we can find an Internet connection before everything closes down...

**Sarah:** Please slow down!!

**Jonas:** Hurry up!!

(*Sarah falls off her bike and drops camera)*

**Jonas:** You okay?

**Sarah:** Yeah, I'm fine.

(*Cuts to Sarah.*)

**Sarah:** So, I got a flat tire... I guess thats what happens when you try and keep up with Speed Racer over here.

(*Cuts to Jonas looking over Sarah's bike.*)

**Jonas:** Great. I can't patch this.

**Sarah:** (*off-camera*) I don't understand why is this so urgent?

**Jonas:** Because, we need to go back, and I need to check the Verdus website. How many times do I have to tell you that? Look, remember? (*holds up camera phone to show a picture of an middle-aged man*)

**Sarah:** (*sarcastic*) Oh, right, I completely forgot. Um... (*pans the camera to her face*) Jonas snuck his camera phone into the tour that Carl gave us, even though he specifically asked us not to. (*pans back to Jonas*)

**Jonas :** Oh, s-- so what, now, now we're listening to what Carl says?

**Sarah:** He thinks he saw some random guy...

**Jonas:** I don't think I saw some random guy, okay? This is the guy. This is the guy, I know it. All right? This is the same guy in the press release from the Verdus website. He was hosting a Life Extension panel, so let me ask you this, Sarah: why would some guy who's an expert on Life Extension be in a pre-natal care center? Why would that be?

**Sarah:** Uh, because he was volunteering? And you don't even know if that him. Look, I have an idea. Let's just go back into town, and we'll catch a bus, we'll be home in our own beds in two days.

**Jonas:** (*picks up his bike*) We're not going home. We're not going home until we figure out why these people are here. Okay?

**Sarah:** Okay, you know what, I have a better idea. Why don't we go *home*, and you can search out your conspiracy theories from the privacy of your own Wi-Fi?

**Jonas:** You know what... what the hell happened to you, Sarah?

**Sarah:** What happened to *you*?? Okay, you're so desperate for something to be wrong here that you're seeing things that aren't even there!

**Jonas:** Oh, ho, ho. Desperate? *I'm* desperate? Okay, I'm not the one who's so desperate for meaning in my life that I'm getting brainwashed by some organization that I don't even know anything about.

**Sarah:** Oh, is that what you think?

**Jonas:** Yeah, that's what I think. (*picks up bike again, grabs camera*) Gimme this.

**Sarah:** What do you think you're doing??

(*Camera pans to Sarah as Jonas rides away.*)

**Jonas:** I'm leaving, I gotta go to town, I gotta find an Internet connection.

**Sarah:** Wait a minute, you're just gonna leave me here all by myself?!

**Jonas:** Yeah, well, you know what? Maybe your friends at Lullaby Project'll swing on it and pick ya up!

**Sarah:** Jonas, you can't leave me out here in the desert, I don't know where I am!!

**Jonas:** You'll be fine!

(*Sarah screams. The screen goes black. Cuts to Jonas, walking his bike through the desert.*)

**Jonas:** She pissed me off, but... I can't just leave her out here all by herself. (*looking around*) Sarah! Hey, Sarah! (*cuts to camera, panning the horizon*) I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you. It's not funny! You win! (*we see her discarded bike, but no sign of her*) Sarah? Sarah!! (*camera pans back to Jonas's worried face*)

## Notes

> Hey, all, Taylor here. Suzie, sorry my friends hijacked your site - I guess I've been a little hard to reach. Just wanted to let you all know Sarah left me a message, she is ok and heading back to California on the bus. She's pretty mad Jonas left her and didn't want to talk to him, but she told me to let you all know. The bus will take at least a couple of days, maybe more. Sarah didn't know how many stops it was going to make, or how long it would take to cross the border. Now leave poor Suzie's site alone!
