He starts talking to himself and notices that the road looks "like someone's face, like a fucked-up face". He then experiences a <a href="/wiki/Narcolepsy" title="Narcolepsy">narcoleptic</a> episode and dreams of his mother comforting him as home movies of his childhood play in his mind. </p><p>Later, after receiving <a href="/wiki/Fellatio" title="Fellatio">fellatio</a> from a client in Seattle, Mike returns to his favorite spots to pick up clients. He is picked up by a wealthy older woman who takes him to her mansion, where he finds two fellow hustlers she has also hired. One of them is Scott Favor, Mike's best friend, and the other is Gary. While preparing to have sex with the woman, Mike has another narcoleptic episode and awakens the next day with Scott in Portland, Oregon. </p><p>Mike and Scott are soon reunited with Bob Pigeon, a middle-aged mentor to a gang of street kids and hustlers who live in an abandoned apartment building. Scott, the son of the mayor of Portland, confides in Bob that when he turns 21, he will inherit his father's fortune and retire from street hustling. Meanwhile, Mike yearns to find his mother, so he and Scott leave for Idaho to visit Mike's older brother, Richard. Along this journey, Mike confesses to Scott that he is in love with him, and Scott gently reminds Mike he only sleeps with men for money. Richard tells a story of a man he claims is Mike's father, but Mike insists that he knows it is Richard. Richard informs Mike that their mother works as a hotel maid; when Mike and Scott visit her workplace, they learn she went to Italy in search of her own family. At the hotel, they meet Hans, the man who drove them to Portland, and prostitute themselves to him. </p><p>With the money they receive from Hans, Mike and Scott travel to Italy. They find the country farmhouse where Mike's mother worked as a maid and English tutor. Carmela, a young woman who lives there, tells Mike that his mother returned to the United States months earlier. Carmela and Scott fall in love and return to the US, leaving a brokenhearted Mike to return on his own. Scott's father dies, and Scott inherits his fortune. </p><p>Back in Portland, Bob and his gang confront a reformed Scott at an upscale restaurant, but he rejects them. That night, Bob has a fatal heart attack. The next day, the hustlers hold a rowdy funeral for Bob, while in the same cemetery, a few yards away, Scott attends a solemn funeral for his father. </p><p>Finally, Mike is back on the deserted stretch of Idaho highway. After he falls into another narcoleptic stupor, two strangers pull up in a truck, take his backpack and shoes, and drive away. Moments later, an unidentified figure pulls up in a car, picks the unconscious Mike up, places him in the vehicle, and drives away. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=My_Own_Private_Idaho&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/River_Phoenix" title="River Phoenix">River Phoenix</a> as <a href="/wiki/Mikey_Waters" title="Mikey Waters">Michael "Mike" Waters</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Keanu_Reeves" title="Keanu Reeves">Keanu Reeves</a> as Scott Favor</li> <li><a href="/wiki/James_Russo" title="James Russo">James Russo</a> as Richard Waters</li> <li><a href="/wiki/William_Richert" title="William Richert">William Richert</a> as Bob Pigeon</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Rodney_Harvey" title="Rodney Harvey">Rodney Harvey</a> as Gary</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Chiara_Caselli" title="Chiara Caselli">Chiara Caselli</a> as Carmela</li> <li>Michael Parker as Digger</li> <li>Jessie Thomas as Denise</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Grace_Zabriskie" title="Grace Zabriskie">Grace Zabriskie</a> as Alena</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Flea_(musician)" title="Flea (musician)">Flea</a> as Budd</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Tom_Troupe" title="Tom Troupe">Tom Troupe</a> as Mayor Jack Favor</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Udo_Kier" title="Udo Kier">Udo Kier</a> as Hans</li> <li>Wade Evans as Wade</li> <li>Vana O'Brien as Sharon Waters, Mike's mother</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jim_Caviezel" title="Jim Caviezel">James Caviezel</a> as an airline clerk</li></ul></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development">Development</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=My_Own_Private_Idaho&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>My Own Private Idaho</i> originated from <a href="/wiki/John_Rechy" title="John Rechy">John Rechy</a>'s 1963 novel <i><a href="/wiki/City_of_Night" title="City of Night">City of Night</a></i>, which featured street hustlers who did not admit to being gay.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEVan_Sant1993xxi_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEVan_Sant1993xxi-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Van Sant's original screenplay was written in the 1970s, when he was living in <a href="/wiki/Hollywood,_Los_Angeles" title="Hollywood, Los Angeles">Hollywood</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEVan_Sant1993xxiii_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEVan_Sant1993xxiii-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> After reading Rechy's book, Van Sant felt it was considerably better than what he was writing, and shelved the script for years.
