Music Video

Here's the idea (I haven't chosen a song yet, but I kind of hear something hopeful sounding from The Smashing Pumpkins ):

TWO YOUNG TEENAGERS, presumably in love with each other, wait at the counter of their local Dollar Store while the CLERK fills a grocery bag with the balloons they've just purchased.  They dash out of the store, balloons in tow, before the clerk can even give them their change (which he pockets in excitement).

The young teens have now separated.  Mouth pried open, the girl has her teeth worked on by an OBESE DENTIST.  One of the pink elastics from her braces snaps and peppers the fat dentisti's cheek.  The girl tries to laugh, but can't.

The boy is hanging around the loading docks in a highly industrial area.  He watches, "smoking" his candy cigarettes, while men load and unload boxes from large, white passenger vans. 

The girl spits blood into the dentist's sink as the dentist and his BUSTY ASSISTANT make their way out of the room.

More boxes are being unloaded.  Just as the final box is being carted away from one of the white passenger vans the boy pops his head out from the under carriage of the vehicle.  

Back at the dentist's office: The girl is rapidly unscrewing tubes connected to the helium tank, hoists the metal canister up on a high window ledge, pushes the window open with one hand, and drops the tank out the window into a bush below.  

The keys are in the ignition of one of the white vans as the boy climbs in the driver's side door.  His head barely eclipses the steering wheel as he backs the car out of the lot.  

The girl is sitting on a street corner in the middle of town, helium tank by her side.  The boy's white van abruptly swerves to the shoulder of the road, upsetting the traffic.  The girl and her helium tank spring into the van.  Horns honk, once again, as the white van begins to drive away.

Montage of the white van driving through this small, suburban town.  Music is screaming from the radio.  The girl steadily fills the hundreds of balloons with helium.  The van has left behind the town for the country.  They now whiz down tree-lined country roads, past farms and ponds.  The back of the van, once barren, slowly gets filled with the girl's balloons.  It's a rainbow of colors.  

The van chugs up a steep hill that overlooks much of the town.  By this time, the girl has filled nearly every square inch of the passenger van with balloons.  The boy's head is lost in the balloons as he continues his first attempt at driving.  As they summit the hill, the girl pushes her way through the balloons to the back doors of the van.  With one swift kick from the girl the back doors of the van explode open and the balloons stream out the doors into the sky.  

The couple laughs wildly as the master plan they've hatched comes to fruition before their wide eyes.  

The final shot of the video shows the van roaring down the other side of the hill with its tail of balloons.  The camera slowly pulls away from the van and up into the clear blue sky with all of the balloons as the song fades out.
