:up: If you changed the context a bit you could use 'dry up', but it's usually things that dry up (and husbands perhaps, on Christmas day ;-)). For example, a river can 'dry up' (or 'run dry').
(A related - but irrelevant - bit of vocabulary refers only to actors. When they forget their lines they are said to 'dry': He was fine in rehearsals, but in front of a paying audience he just dried. Maybe this is a bit of actors' jargon from my mis-spent youth.)
