Brake Bleeding Problem

I'm trying to bleed my brakes, but nothing comes out. No fluid, no air, nothing.

I'm pretty sure the lines aren't clogged because last night we started bleeding them and i filled up a whole beer bottle with brake fluid from the bleeder valve.

My little brother forgot to keep watch on the master cylinder reservoir and it went dry. I'm thinking maybe theres air in the line trapped between fluid at both ends.

Any suggestions?

78 F250. I got it figured out. I just pumped the pedal a bunch of times, then held it to the floor while my buddy opened the bleeder. Worked like a charm.
