Search Party Page #3

Synopsis: Convinced that his buddy Nardo (Thomas Middleditch) is making the mistake of a lifetime by marrying Tracy (Shannon Woodward), Jason (T.J. Miller) puts a dramatic end to their wedding. When the furious bride decides to take her Baja honeymoon solo, Nardo follows her-where the lovesick groom is carjacked and left stranded, naked and penniless in a remote part of the Mexican desert. Helpless, Nardo sends out an SOS to Jason and their pal Evan (Adam Pally), an up-and-coming ad exec slated for an important business meeting the next morning. During their ridiculous attempt to rescue Nardo, the trio embarks on a series of increasingly outrageous misadventures involving con artists, drug smugglers and even the Federales.

I'll give you a hint.

It's your red skirt.

I'll give you another hint.

We like it.

He's just kidding.

Isn't that right, John McClane?

Kidding? What?

Are you saying that

my skirt is a joke?

No, no, no, no.

We would never...

We would never,

mock your skirt.

If anything, I think

you look good to go.

"Good to go"?

Good to go out and about.

Like I would take you now.

- Take... Take me?

- Like...

To a pizza parlor.

I mean, it's a good skirt.

Taut.

And...

Business sexy.

I mean, I think you look

like this is

work and play first,

and then it could be sex, too.

But consensual.

Yeah, I don't have anything

to help you with that.

You look very good.

Are you having a stroke?

I'm gonna go back to my office.

Okay.

That's best. Nice to meet you.

And I'll get you those reports.

I thought that went great.

Jeez!

What is business sexy?

Can we not

talk about it, please?

That skirt is taut.

Jason!

You've been trying to ask

Elizabeth out for a year,

but now you're all,

like, in your head.

So when you try and talk to her,

you end up saying

something weird

and kind of rapey.

You can't come visit me at

work like this unannounced.

That's not what you said in your message.

What message?

You sent it.

Telepathically.

You are not telepathic, Jason.

Yes, I am.

You're just closed off.

What if my boss asks me

about the Nakatomi deal?

What am I supposed to say?

Simple.

You tell him that

a group of German terrorists

seized the Nakatomi building

and now, Nakatomi is looking to

unload the Plaza for a price.

You gotta say it like that.

"For a price."

Look at your own shoulder.

What are you doing here?

Nardo's missing.

He's not answering his phone

and he's not in his room.

We gotta go find him.

I can't leave right now.

Okay.

Then lend me your car, I'll take my

peach tea and go get him myself.

You know you can't

take my company car

'cause I need to be with you

if you're gonna be driving it.

Our best friend is missing and

you're worried about your car?

I got... I have something

to tell you, I just...

I'm moving out.

What?

You ruined Nardo's wedding,

there's jelly beans everywhere,

you're a f***ing hurricane, man.

Well, you know what?

There's a lot of negativity

coming from you right now.

I think it's impeding

your general happiness,

so I really, really encourage

you to just smoke some weed.

What?

And it'll be better.

Get rid of it!

Get rid of it?

Get rid of it!

What are you doing?

Don't smoke it... Don't smoke it!

Don't smoke it!

Put it in your pocket!

Put it one of your nine

pockets on those shorts!

Damn it, Jason!

Okay, jeez.

Okay, all right.

I gotta go back to work.

I'd like to take his face.

Off.

Nicolas.

Hey, Jason?

Have you seen my Ambien?

Never mind, I found them.

Really?

He 'pooned him!

Hello?

Hello,

I have a collect call from a Mr. Nardo.

Yeah, I'll accept the charges.

Jason! I'm still

really pissed at you,

but Evan is not

picking up his phone.

I went down to the resort

to get Tracy back,

and, I got carjacked, man!

You got carjacked?

They took my Fiat, Jason!

And I'm lost, and I'm scared

and you gotta come down

and get me, man.

Okay, where are you?

I don't know.

All I know is

I am naked in

the middle of Mexico!

You're naked?

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm f***ing sure!

You can see your penis and everything?

Yes!

Why are you naked?

I was wearing

my grandfather's tux,

you know, the Italian one?

They took that, too.

So, you got carjacked,

and then you got tuxedojacked?

I am naked!

Okay? They're gonna get me!

We've all seen the movie Taken.

Okay, relax.

They're not gonna Taken you.

That doesn't happen down there.

You know what they do

do sometimes?

They kill you and then

they hide drugs in your corpse

and they ship your corpse

to your grandmother

and then somebody shows

up and kills your grandma

and takes the drugs.

That actually happens a lot.

Is that...

Are you serious?

Are you f***ing serious?

Grammy!

No way!

No, no, no, no! Listen.

Forget I said that.

Forget I said that. God!

I am going to die here, Jason!

I should be married

and on my honeymoon,

but because of you

and your sh*t,

I am going to f***ing get Taken!

Nardo. Nardo,

listen to me.

Everything is gonna be okay.

Say it.

Everything is gonna be okay.

No one is Taken- ing anyone.

No one is Taken- ing anybody.

Sh*t! What the f***?

What's that sound?

What's that noise?

My God!

Are there snakes here? Yeah.

There's rattlers,

there's serpents,

there's cobrinhas,

which are tiny little cobras.

F***, no! Okay, no,

it's just a sign that

was blowing in the wind.

That was a bad example.

But sh*t is f***ing crazy out here, man.

Look around.

What town are you in?

Town?

Um... Sh*t, I don't know.

I don't know.

Okay, there's a sign.

It says... It says

"Mexico" on it. Mexico.

You're in Mexico, Mexico?

Mexico, Mexico?

Is that even a f***ing place?

Does that exist?

Hold on.

The sign has something

written on it. It says,

"27, San Jacinto."

Okay, 27, San Jacinto.

Stay where you are.

That can't be

that far from L.A.

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Hurry the f*** up!

I'll see you in

two to three hours.

What?

Tights!

Hey, man!

Hey.

Do you want a piece of cake?

I brought it. It's in the backseat.

It's very good.

What's happening?

Why am I in the car?

Nardo's stranded.

We're going to Mexico.

I'm serious.

What?

I tried to wake you.

I had to carry you.

No, no, no...

I don't know what sleeping

pills you're taking,

but they are heavy duty.

No, no. No, no, no...

I can't... I can't...

I can't have this happen.

I can't go to Mexico right now.

I'm sorry, but I can't

use the company car

without you here to supervise.

That's your rule.

You made that very clear.

So, you just kidnapped me?

I had no choice.

Nardo's naked.

He's naked?

Yeah. Nude.

In Mexico?

What time is it?

Midnight.

F***, Jason!

All right, before you

get really worked up,

I've already

thought this through.

Look at the GPS.

We're here, heading

south of Los Angeles.

Now, Nardo is here,

14 miles south of the Mexican border. Okay?

Two and half hours down,

that puts Nardo in the car at 2:30 a.m.

Then three hours

back up to Los Angeles,

that puts us in L.A.

at 5:
30 a.m.

Your meeting's at 8:00, right?

Yeah.

Okay? Then we have two and

a half hours of flex time.

You could have at least

brought me something to wear.

I did.

I brought your dry cleaning,

your wallet and your toothbrush.

You're all set for your meeting.

Off you go.

This is not my dry cleaning.

They gave me this by mistake,

I was supposed to bring it back today.

What is it?

It's a woman's pant suit.

Well, sometimes life wants you to put

on a pant suit and drive to Mexico.

If I do this,

I am doing it for Nardo.

We are driving to Mexico and

then we are driving right back.

No extra stops.

No other stops?

No other stops.

None after this one.

Whoa,

whoa, whoa! Wait!

Where are we going?
