TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands.
To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.
I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.
I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.
I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all.
I'd prefer Close Encounters of the Third Kind, myself. Sadly, if we do get offers for both movies, we'd have to choose, since their shooting schedules overlapped in OTL.
I have zero doubt that SV would overwhelmingly vote for Star Wars, though.
Also, The Godfather has already finished shooting--it wrapped at the beginning of August, which is when we are now.
Now's a good time to end the vote, I guess. Seems like Money Money wins.

You had looked at the suitcase and then at the family that had shown you nothing but kindness in the last year you were here. Clint was squinting and being his usual self when he saw you and quietly waved. "Bruce, good to see you."
You nodded as you walked forward and gave everyone a hug. "Thanks Clint."
"You in town for a bit?" He asked as he sat and you did as well by the pool, the kids playing around and Clints wife getting some water for the both of you.
"Actually I'm conducting business with an apartment building, and I have a large ownership stake in it." You replied. "Turns out all that money I made is being used wisely."
"You talk to your parents about that?" He asked as you were served a glass of water.
"No." You replied. "I'm thinking of living in the building though."
Clint then coughed. "You sure you can handle the responsibility of that? it's a very big responsibility."
"I think it will be a good thing CLint, and that if I'm lucky, things will be working out for me, and maybe if the acting thing doesn't work, then things might work out well in real estate."
Clint laughed. "Well then, don't take my advice if everything is all settled for you."
"Yeah i'm just worried about a lot of things. Mostly getting work." You replied.
"Well don't be scared for work, that is always going to be a problem. Just keep doing what you are doing and then everything will be alright." Clint replied.
"Oh and I think that I'm forgetting something." You then handed over the suitcase.
Clint tried to protest. "wait a minute, if that's what-"
"It is." You replied. "And I won't take no for an answer. You showed enough kindness to last a lifetime and I still don't think it will be enough."
"Bruce I cannot accept-" Clint protested.
"Then don't take my money, give it to your kids." You replied. "Just for the love of god, don't try and send it back."
Clint knew that you were stubborn. "Very well." He took a deep breath, clearly not happy about what had just happened. "Good luck Bruce."
Reward: You have repaid the kindness The Eastwood family showed you, even though they did not want the money.
-50,000 USD.

The Building was huge, with over 10 stories and well over 100 rooms. The Apartment building was still barely close to finishing construction, but a group of buys were short on funds to actually buy the property.
But the company had somehow went over budget, and then the group who built it raised their prices to cover the costs of the delays.
The group of people, the investrors in the building, were more then happy to have you join the group to foot the last of the bill.
Then the group was ripped apart by in fighting over who actually owned the building how much each would get paid and
All the while you bought some furnishings, and started to live there. No one else who was part of the group really noticed... until you decided to furnish the entire building (Rather cheaply, it only cost you less then a thousand dollars).
Everyone was amazed, and you did not really care. You had a 15% stake in the building, and you just wanted then to hurry up and get on with their arguments so they can rent it our already.
After being shown up by a teenager, the group got its act together and helped rent out the rooms. And they did not seem to mind that you took the best one for yourself, seeing as you furnished the place for them.
Reward: Have a partial ownership of an apartment building.
You make 5,000 dollars per month from rent.
You also have an apartment all to yourself. Gain +1 action.
