== Synopsis == | == Synopsis == | ||
An eccentric French ambulance driver, Ryder ([[Tim Jerome]]), | |||
side-swipes a prospector ([[Nick Ullett]]) in a rural area, injuring his | |||
arm. On the way to a hospital the prospector calls his colleague, | |||
Tom, to tout the riches he has found, on the pay-phone in the | |||
ambulance. | |||
8:20: At Ray's roadhouse Bud ([[Larry Block]]), a traveling Bible and | |||
religious goods salesman on his way to a big tent show in Paradise, | |||
talks to Ray ([[Ryan Cutrona]]) about the stuff he sells, including | |||
large crucifixes and confessionals. Ryder had side-swiped Bud's car, | |||
so it was at Mac's, the mechanic in Itmon<ref>the name I give the | |||
unnamed town to make writing this synopsis easier</ref>. | |||
16:30: Ryder describes the convoluted route to the hospital, says that | |||
the prospector is equally to blame for their collision, which angers | |||
the prospector. At Ryder's insistence they stop to watch the sunset | |||
at the edge of a cliff. | |||
28:00: At the roadhouse Bud talks about people watching a tornado. | |||
Bud was scared of the tornado; Ray tells him 'it's an opening into a | |||
new life'. When Bud refers to the town as being in the middle of | |||
nowhere, Ray objects, tells him about the area's significance. | |||
33:30: The prospector tries to push Ryder off the cliff<ref>with an | |||
injured arm?</ref> but Ryder pushes the prospector off instead. | |||
36:20: Ray expatiates on metaphysical matters to Bud, including tarot | |||
cards, fortune-tellers, and unseen forces. When Bud professes to | |||
believe what Ray has told him, Ray tells him it's nonsense. | |||
42:30: Ryder and an angel ([[Arthur Miller]])<ref>I take that from | |||
[https://www.joefrank.com/shop/in-the-middle-ofnowhere-1 the synopsis at joefrank.com]; | |||
nothing explicit in the text of the show identifies the speaker as an | |||
angel.</ref> converse about Ryder's life. First Ryder says that he's | |||
adrift, has no past, no identity, then refutes that by describing | |||
himself and his history in detail. The angel makes advances on Ryder, | |||
which Ryder rebuffs. | |||
