Drunk and Drunker

Maybe that opening scene feels like it's going to be a flashforward of the ending of the movie, but then it turns out it flashing forward to 30 minutes into the movie.

Then they wake up from their hangovers and they're in the middle of the desert, but they figure that it's totally hopeless, so they decide to start a new life right there, when civilization is literally just down the road. They just view it as a sign that this is what happens when you party too hard in Vegas. Grandpappy told them a story about how he and Proctie partied too hard in Vegas, and they ended up on a spirit walk in the desert, which is what turned his life around. Of course, at some point they'll find Proctie's Log, detailing the trip that they decide to reenact.
