SYNOPSIS:

ACT ONE:

We meet our main character Dale Loward. A dedicated, hardworking City Maintenance Worker in a small town in Ohio. We then find out that he has low self-confidence issues after being cheated on by his ex-wife who forces him to pay her alimony as part of their divorce settlement.

At work Dale is given the job of draining and cleaning out a newly constructed fountain located in one of the cities parks and covering it up with a tarp for the cold Ohio winter. After draining it out he finds that there are a couple hundred dollars worth of coins at the bottom of the fountain from people who have thrown them in it thinking that it was a wishing well. When he asks his boss over the phone who is in a meeting at the time what to do with the coins his boss misunderstands the amount of money involved and tells Dale to clean them out and use them in the break room vending machines.

ACT TWO:

Always one to do as he is told by his boss. Dale uses four quarters of the coins he cleaned from the bottom of the fountain to purchase a can of pop from one of the vending machines in the break room against the advice of his co-worker Jason. Who tries to convince Dale that there are wishes attached to the coins that people have thrown into the fountain while believing it was a wishing well. Jason warns him of the bad Karma that will follow his actions. That by using the coins for his own gain he is taking peoples wishes away from them. Thus the movies title “TAKING WISHES”.

Dale brushes Jason’s warning off calling it superstitious non-sense. Doing so causes a series of comedic events to unfold that include a group of love sick teenage girls who fall in love with Dale chasing him down and trapping him in a Port-a-Potty then tipping it over with Dale inside it, a Dog bites him in the ass, Dale gets a face full of nut sack while playing a friendly game of basket ball with some old High School buddies and also develops a bad case of the munchies to name a few. Dale then attempts to retrieve the four coins from the pop machine without any luck.

ACT THREE:

Frustrated with the situation Dale decides to throw the remaining coins in the river in an attempt to break his curse. He then decides to man up and accept the consequences of the remaining wishes.

Throughout our story everything that happens to Dale helps him build much needed confidence in himself slowly giving him the courage to stand up to his ex-wife and then forgive her for the way she has treated him thus giving him the ability to move on with his life and leave her behind and create his own happiness.
