My Body's Aching, but I Feel Alright: Turn 3 (May 1970)
  • View content
    • You groaned as your body ached. "I thought exercise made you feel better, not make your hurt more."

    Clint for his part seemed to enjoy you sprawled out on the couch. "Better be careful kid, Family is coming over and I need you on the best behavior. I don't want to give my wife any ideas?"

    "What, that you owed my dad a favor and am now freeloading on your couch trying to make it big in Hollywood?" You shot back, then you took it back, which caused Clint to squint at you.

    But after almost six months of living together, you were immune to such a mainly stare. and it only annoyed you. "You sure you don't need glasses, Clint?" You asked as you sat up.

    "No, do you?" He shot back.

    "No, but with the way Bruce's training is going I might need a new back." You stated.

    Clint shook his head. "The fact you managed to pass through multiple belts and get Bruce's approval to rank up says more about your skill as a martial artist and your body's toughness than it does about the pain you suffer."

    "I was foolish enough to challenge him to a spar, and he just... walked up to me, and held out his hand an inch away from my chest, and punched me."

    "A good lesson in humility," Clint replied with a chuckle.

    "A painful one." You groaned. "He said that I was too ridged like wood, and needed to flow more, like water. Whatever the hell that means?"

    Clint for his part only chuckled. "Oh by the time your my age, you'll wish to be water."

    You frowned. "Not you too."

    "Come on, get up and get dressed, time to introduce you to the family."

    • Brooks Booking: 10

    Mr. Brooks shut the door to his office, and sighed. "I tried kid."

    "Tried what?" You asked, as you felt a feeling of dread.

    "Getting you a job, but according to my bosses, your tainted goods kid." He stated. "Listen I know the man who you auditioned for, I know him personally and belive me, he has a vendetta against you because you did someone no one else in this town can do."

    "What's that?" You asked.

    "Stand up to his ass." He replied as he sat down and handed over a glass. "Drink?"

    "I'm underage." You stated.

    "Suit yourself." He replied. "I'm going to tell you straight... my bosses think you're a loose cannon that will hurt people and are trying their damndest to get you out of town and blacklist you here in America?"

    "I made that much or an impression by kicking him in the balls." You asked.

    "You kicked Darryl Zanuck in the balls." He stated. "And while that name might not have the power as it used to, it's got pull."

    "He touched me, and I refused to let my dignity be taken away from me." You stated.

    "Believe me, kid, he went too far, but he really does not like you, and that means, unless you prove him wrong, or make him look the fool. And as much as I'd like to see you succeed kid, I can't risk my career without assurances."

    "Like what, a more chipper submissive attitude." You replied.

    "No, start by becoming one of the most successful kids in Hollywood." He replied. "I can't help you right now, but know that I will, when I get the chance."

    You nodded. "Thanks."

    "To your health Bruce." Brooks replied.

    Failure: Brooks cannot help you until you have a few roles under your belt.

    But when he can help, expect some big help.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    To Become Like Water: 62

    Your hand was raised but you could not feel jubilation as your hand was still shaking.

    Clint and his family were clapping, congratulating you as you continued shaking.

    Bruce was smiling on the sideline, as he carried his son Brandon in his arms, and his daughter Sharon on his shoulders holding onto his head. Linda's gaze was clearly into Clint's, as you knew all to well that, while Clint was a nice man, he was not very... happy with you becoming a friend with your instructor's family.

    A half-hour later, you were sitting on a sidewalk, eating some ice cream as Bruce joined you. "Goose." He said, calling you the nickname that was what he called you now. "You did well."

    "I'm surprised that you didn't want to congratulate me earlier." You asked, as you finished it.

    "Your... guardian was not very kind to me, and I believed that it may have turned into a spectacle that would take away from your victory. It was your moment, not mine, nor his."

    "Clint's not good seeing things from another perspective, for all his kindness for me, he's never really been one to try and see it from another-" You stopped to find another word.

    "Point of view?" Bruce replied though the fact he looked to his hands made you realize what he meant.

    "I don't think he'd get very far." You stated. "I'm an Irishman, I was born in New York, but I was raised in Dublin until I was six then I moved back to the states when my father relocated permanently, as much as I wish to be an American, I know my heart belongs to the Isle. But the problem is, someday, people may see me as an American. I may even see myself as an American." you frowned. "Do you think you can become an American?"

    Bruce shook his head. "I believe what I am, and know what I am. What I am to you, is what you decide."

    You did not want to deal with this. "Really, riddles right now?"

    "You're smart, you can figure it out." He said. "Oh and I might need some help babysitting Brandon and Sharon next week, is it possible you can take some time."

    "I'll do my best." You replied.

    "Do more than that, be better than your best and you will be rewarded with excellence that will last forever." He stated.

    "I won the bet. So, you gonna help me get a job?" You asked.

    "Yes, of course, I'm a man of my word. But know this, you may not like the... way I may do it."

    "If you're going to kick my ass on film, there are worse ways to get started." You replied.

    Bruce smiled. "Funny... Now tell me, is your Chinese any good?"

    "Why?" You asked.

    "We're going to Hong Kong in a few months. To discuss a film that I'm starring in. You best start learning." He said.

    Reward: You have gained a Role in the Hong Kong Action Film: The Big Boss (Fist of Fury). Turns out, Bruce is starring in it and has some sway with the screenwriter and director, to give you a minor role in the project.

    You will leave for Hong Kong in 1971. Prepare accordingly.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    Met the Family: 36

    It was awkward, to say the least, not only because of the situation you find yourself in, but for... the Rest of the Eastwood Family, it was not.

    Sure you were a youngster living with Clint as an understudy, though you don't like being called that, you were sure that they at least weren't mad at you.

    The problem was that, they were mad at Clint for not telling them about your situation, and the fact you were struggling to get work.

    But at the end of it all, you were pretty sure you had the Eastwoods' family blessing to continue living in their Hollywood home.

    Reward: You made a good impression to the Eastwood family, and they accept that you are now part of their lives.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    Family's a Bitch: 97

    Cat looked great when she squeezed you into her pregnant belly. "It's good to see you brother!" She said with a happy smile, her hands scrubbing against your head. "And you got so big, why didn't you tell us you were in the city, we could have prepared something special!"

    Oh god. "Good to see you too Cat... Please let go." You groaned as she let you go.

    Her husband, Joseph was right behind her, as your sister let go and you stretched back. "Joe, good to see you again." You said as you stretched your back.

    The Irishman smiled. "Good to see you lad. Why the hell are you in Hollywood, I heard that the Royal Shakespeare company wanted a piece of you?"

    "Well, I didn't want to work for the Queen?" You replied.

    That made Joe frown. "I thought you said you were keeping your nose clean of politics? Tell me the real reason rather than the one you tell everyone else to save your pride."

    You joined him with a frown on your face. "I wanted to work in Hollywood instead of in Britain. I thought I was talented enough to make my name on my own. Turns out I needed a lot of help."

    "I think you made a mistake for your career, you love Shakespeare." He said.

    "What are you, my father Joseph?" You scowled as you walked outside, pushing past him. "I've made my bloody choice, could you accept that."

    "I am going to accept that you idiot, only because your too stubborn to listen to anyone else." He stated.

    "Alright you two, calm down." Cat placed a hand on both your shoulders before pushing you both away to prevent any difficulties. "Come on, let's be supportive, Bruce came here on his own volition, the least we can do is try and help him."

    "Yeah, but what the hell does-" Joseph tried to argue, but then he just glared, before he turned around in surprise. "Oh hi, Gav."

    Then you saw your brother Gavin, walk out of his car, his smile adorning his face. Your grimaced, as you remembered the last time those two were together. "Gavin."

    Then Gavin walked up and hugged Cat, then held out his hand. "Joe, good to see you mate, how is the nephew growing?"

    Wait, they were nice to each other? They were not angry at eachother. "Who the hell are you and where have you put Gavin?" You asked.

    "Oh nice to see you too Goose." Gavin replied with a scowl before hitting you in the head with a soft slap. "Threw away a perfectly good chance to play in the Royal Shakespeare company and goes to Hollywood like a fool, and doesn't even visit the family when he gets here? For shame."

    You frowned. "I thought you two still hated each other?"

    "Oh me and joe, that's all in the past now. Good news is, Cat has a short film that she's directing soon, and I wrote it, apparently the studio needs something to pad out the runtime for some film and needed something great. She got a job as assistant director... or whatever the fuck its called."

    Cat frowned. "And you've only written TV scripts for the last few years."

    "I see you both have had some success." You stated. "But not insane amounts."

    "Well we wanted to help you. I have a strong feeling that you might have the best chance out of all of us, so we'll do what we can to help you."

    "Why me?" You asked.

    Cat smiled. "Because your the only one who took acting seriously. and in this town, that's where the money is."

    Reward:

    Gain a Bonus of +5 to learn screenwriting and directing for the next two years. Gain a +10 to all your rolls for your first two roles.

    • You felt very excited as you got prepared for the day, something that was far and away one of the strangest sights you were sure that Clint Eastwood had ever seen.

    And you happy without a care in the world was not one of them. "You are in a good mood." He stated.

    "I am. Wanna know why?" You asked.

    Clint raised an eyebrow as he took a sip of his coffee. "Be quick kid, I've got a shoot today."

    "I got a job."

    That made Clint nearly spit his coffee out. "You did, that's great!" He set his mug down before giving you a good clasp on the shoulder. "You on your way to getting out of my house."

    "I thought you liked me here, your kids certainly do," you replied.

    "Just because my kids like you does not mean you get to stay any longer than necessary. So where is the job at? New York? England?" He was excited, a rare thing for you to really see on his face and in his voice.

    "China, Hong Kong." You stated without hesitation.

    Clint then seemed less excited, less thrilled than he was just seconds ago. "China?"

    "yes." You repeated.

    Clint took a seat, drumming his fingers on the table with his coffee long forgotten. minutes of awkward and sullen silence passed, before he finally spoke again. "I don't think that's a good idea?"

    That surprised you. "Really? But you worked in Italy?"

    "That was different." He replied, a low growl in his voice. "Italy was safe?"

    "And so is Hong Kong." You replied. "It's not like I'm going to Russia or something like that."

    "I've heard rumors that the Triads are involved with Hong Kong Films... lots of illegal money." He said.

    "I'll be careful." You replied.

    "Be more then careful." He stated.

    "I promise." You replied.

    You had never seen Clint that scared before.

    And that worried you.

    • -[X]Prepare for The Fury (Script): You are going to look at the translated draft of the Script, and try your best to get something resembling practice in. The Problem is, most of the script is action-based with pictures, and that is not the best language to read a screenplay. DC: 65 Reward: You read the script and get familiar with a screen presence. Rolled: 65

    When you first looked at the script you had thought it was going to be impossible to understand considering the very real possibility of... interpreting the script's contents. What dialogue that was there was written in Cantonese, but it was only short phrases and the passable Cantonese you did know was enough for you to get by.

    But that still left you with the problem of understanding some of the more difficult action parts that were being prepared, not only for Bruce himself but for his entire stunt team he was working with.

    After a few hours of just, not being able to read it, you decided to look for something to inspire you and get the boredom off of your mind, and the frustration that you have been seeing.

    It led you to a comic book store. And then to a Superman comic, and an old one where he was boxing. Flipping through the pages, following your eyes to fight, then to the cover itself.

    And then it hit you. When you looked back from back to front, going through the pages twice, you knew what to do.

    Read the script as a comic book, but backward.

    Everything was entirely backward. When you ran home, and then it made sense.

    Everything from Bruce's action scenes, to even... you in the potential role. It was amazing. You had wondered how such motion could be conveyed through just pictures, even crudely drawn pictures, but that was just following the eye to the detail.

    It was amazing, and you understood everything.

    All you had to do was just keep it up.

    Reward: You have read through the "Script" and are prepared for its very action-heavy setpieces, and movements.

    Will suffer no malus to filming.

    You began training with Bruce and a few of his other students on a more frequent basis a few days after you fully understood the script and what he and his production crew were going to put you through. Even if you didn't get more than a minute of screentime, he wanted you to be prepared for the very demanding work.

    He put you through a very intense training regime. One that he had informed you was based on his own, both to prepare you, and to make you stronger.

    It was... needless to say, the hardest you had ever worked out in your life. Ten miles run every day, with very strict dietary restrictions to build muscle.

    And then there was the weight lifting. Something that confused you greatly.

    "Uh, Bruce? I thought weightlifting was something that martial artists avoided doing to prevent their muscles from growing too large?" You asked as he showed you both the pullup bar, the weightlifting bench, and the dumbbells he had prepared. "And why are you letting me use them?"

    "First, the weightlifting program you are doing is lighter than mine, and one that will help you with one thing, power, and mind-muscle connection. you build the muscles in the body and the connection to it. This helps with that." Bruce stated.

    "Yeah, but why the Weights?" You asked.

    "Simple, Power!" Bruce cheerfully said with a smile. "And there is a simple fact that you are focusing far too hard on seeing this role as just a job." There was a pause. "This is far more than that. It is becoming one's self, as you are doing right now."

    "Why are you so worried about what I want?" You asked.

    "Simple, I was young once, and foolish, making many mistakes that I regretted once I grew up to not see the world only through my own arrogance and self. I became a better person. I merely wish to help others strive to become better." He was focused now. "Yet you did very well in training, but you just want to be an actor? Or something more?"

    You frowned. "I want to be an actor, not just for the fame and fortune, but because in the end, I'll be something more. Hopefully a legend."

    Bruce, for all his humbleness, seemed to smile at that. "At least your arrogance is far less self-destructive than others."

    "I hope that's a compliment?" You asked.

    "it is." He said. "I'm just happy you aren't going around beating up kids."

    You and Bruce then laughed, before Bruce finally stopped. "Very well... Tell me, are you ready?"

    You smiled and got into your stance. "Oh hell yeah!"

    And you both went all out.

    Bruce won. But he was very impressed that you lasted longer than three minutes.

    Reward: You are fully ready for the role and its very physical demands. You can now write in your own stunts during production and it will have only a dc of 30.

    Changing the Script now has a lower DC.

    Chemistry Roll with Bruce increases by 15.

    Please note that Bruce has not given you permission to beat him on film and will not accept such a proposal.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    -[X]Learn Chinese: You are going to make a movie in China. You are going to need to be a gracious guest, and try and learn the language. To not be an asshole like the Brits are. DC: 40 Reward: You learn Chinese. Rolled: 53

    It took a few weeks, but you managed to get very conversationally fluent with Cantonese.

    It was quite funny that when you spoke to Bruce, he was completely surprised by you speaking it.

    Then criticized you for butchering a few words, and sought to assist you with handling the proper pronunciation.

    Reward: You are now conversationally fluent in Cantonese. There will be a far less hostile atmosphere on set when filming begins.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    -[X] Take a walk: Dad always said that the best ways to get inspiration are by walking, talking, and being open-minded. So you'll try that. DC 10 (You are just going for a walk, what could be really said. Rolled: 88

    You took a deep breath as you continued walking down the street, wondering what the hell you were doing. You were just trying to clear your head but now you were just walking.

    Trying to sort your sorry head out.

    Instead, you found yourself walking into another part of town where another person was walking. And you just sat down on a park bench.

    Soon you found yourself joined by the same person, sitting down and sighing. "You in town for business or family?" He asked.

    "Come again?" You asked, as you looked at the man, and scooted away, feeling unsafe and uncomfortable as the man relaxed on the bench.

    "Am I scaring you kid?" He asked as you felt concern in his voice. "I don't look like a scary guy?"

    "Yeah well, so was the last guy." You frowned, before looking to stand up.

    The man relaxed, he had confidence and was cool as a cat, and obviously knew that he was making you uncomfortable. "Robert." He said, offering a handshake. "Names Robert."

    You returned it. "Bruce."

    "Well kid, I'm here for work, and you're all dressed up, meaning you either ran away from home to sweet on a girl or your working in the city? And I don't think you're a businessman. So what are you working for the bright lights in the big city?" He asked.

    "Maybe not in Hollywood, but soon, I'm going to carve my name into this city." You replied.

    "Good luck kid." He said. "I'm sure you'll make it." he then stood up.

    You took a good look at his face. "Do I know you from somewhere?" You asked.

    The man smiled. "God, I hope not. Not yet at least."

    Reward: You met a man named Robert, who really likes the gumption you have.

    • It was a quiet morning, as you could not sleep. You were at your sister's house, and you were feeling like hell. "What happened last night?" You groaned as you felt ice get placed on your feet. And it was not a comfortable feeling.

    "Well, do you want the before or the after the beating you took when you were protecting that girl?" Your sister said as you sat up.

    "There was a girl?" You asked.

    "Yeah, you and Bruce were walking home when a couple of thugs were harassing a girl. You stepped in and you kicked ass, and got your ass kicked in return." She replied.

    "Now hold still, I need to get some more ice."

    "Bruce just watched me?" You asked as your head throbbed.

    "He tried to stop you. But he made sure you got home after you led the girl home." Your sister said.

    "At least there won't be any more surprises." You replied.

    That was when you noticed the water leaking down your sister's leg.

    "Oh." There was a small pause as you processed what was going on. "Please tell me you know a midwife?" You asked.

    Your sister screamed, and you moved to get her to her bed. And call people, lots of people, most importantly, the midwife, and then your father.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "She's beautiful." You cooed as your little niece moved and cooed in the wrapped blanket she was in.

    Bruce, his family, Clint, and his own family, and damn near everyone in the family that knew you or lived near here had arrived to give their good wishes and congratulations.
    You were waiting outside as you sat down. "Well, I didn't expect that to happen when I woke up this morning." You quipped as you shook your head.

    "Life is like that kid, you always got to learn to roll with the punches, and work things out." Clint said as he handed over a glass of water. "Nervous?" He asked.

    "About what, the role. No." You stated. "I'm more worried about what I'll miss when I'm gone." You replied. "I thought you were in San Francisco filming?"

    "Was, but we have to get some permits that the city is stalling for, but it should be smooth sailing after that, and I'm working on a script that you might like if I ever finish." He stated.

    "What is it?" You asked. "A Western?"

    Clint gazed out to the sky. "I don't know just yet. Maybe, but that's just the thing, I don't know. It's just an idea."

    "Can't be any worse than whatever some hack is writing?" You asked. "Tell me?"

    Clint smiled. "Fine you little shit, I'll tell ya. It's about some kid who's got a dream that is impossible. And this old man who's trying to teach him to use that thing between his ears."

    You frowned. "Really Clint, just using me as a punching bag?"

    Clint chuckled. "You asked."

    "Yeah, I deserve it." You stated. "But I never got a chance to thank you."

    "You already do kid." He stated. "Don't thank me till your at the top." He then put a hand on your shoulder. "Come on, let's play the dotting spoilers to your sister's baby."

    "Agreed."

    You had looked at the offer from Bruce and his contact, which would allow you to be part of the film.

    Or rather, the three options that were possible. All of them are more intimidating and broken than the others.

    The First option was a simple one. Serve as a henchman to the big bad, a rather competent one where you would serve as a saboteur, a kidnapped victim that is not who he seems, striking bruce in the back while he was trying to help him, stabbing him in the shoulder, wounding him, then entering a prolonged but very rewarding fight scene.

    You had, however, one problem with it.

    You were half-naked, with only a loincloth to protect your modesty. That normally wouldn't be a problem.

    But you were underage. That might raise some questions. This was the director's choice.

    It would not require much in the way of acting skills, but put your physical abilities to the test.

    Option two, which was Bruce's choice, was an interesting one. He had decided to play with the expectations of the audience, and make you seem like the central character, pulling the rug out of the sails. You would star in a short, five/seven-minute short film, in the beginning, the opening to be precise, as the Interpol agent that was in charge of investigating the Drug trade in Thailand. It would follow you entering the factory, confronting the men, and getting into a fight. and you would lose.

    After a helluva fight.

    It would allow you to be a good actor, and show off your skills, even if you lose.

    Option Three was something that came to you in a dream. It was a slight combination of the two options. But it had a very big difference. Bruce would rescue you and have to fight you, not to kill you, but to break the brainwashing, trying to keep Bruce from killing you and to maintain tension within the story.

    You actually like the idea. And had even written the part of the script that was for the idea.

    But Bruce felt that having you try to force yourself more into the story might make people think you were trying to hard. But he did see the merit in the idea. There was also a very big possibility that the action-heavy fights, both of them might hurt you.

    What Option do you take:

    []Option A: Director's choice, Easy on choreography with almost no acting. (The DC for the Choreography is high, but acting is set to 0)

    []Option B: Bruce's Choice, (The DC is Average on Acting talent for it to not be cut or reshot, and the DC is High on choreography)

    []Option C (Your Choice, The DC is High on Acting talent for it to not be cut or reshot, and the DC is Very High on choreography Due to the very demanding prolonged fight for the finale)

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    -[X] Gophering, and other signs of stuff: You want to try and learn how work behind the camera works, and what better way than being a gopher. DC 50 (You have no idea what the hell they were doing, and you have no idea either) Roll: 58

    It was not really a big thing that you had even done, as much as you had planned to do.

    There was a TV show that was filming, and it needed an action director for a few simple stunts. You did not hesitate to try and help, and even managed to learn something about staging action.

    Reward: +3 to Directing skill.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    -[X] Practice writing: You want to write something, maybe even a script. At least to learn the craft. DC 20 (You try your hand at screenwriting, and maybe get something that is worth a damn. Please note that your script quality will have a roll malus due to never trying something like this before.) Roll: Nat 1(Yikes)

    You couldn't write for shit.

    That was obvious.

    But when you really wanted to learn, to try and learn to write a screenplay?

    It was worse than that. You burned it.

    And never wanted to do it again.

    Critical Failure: Screenwriting and learning to write have been removed for 1 year.

    Suffer a -20 to all learning/writing rolls... For the next 2 years.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    -[X] Research stuff, see if anything piques your interest: You may have graduated High School as a kid, but you never stopped trying to learn. DC 15 (Write-in: Chinese Films) Roll: 53

    It wasn't much but you managed to find some dubbed Hong Kong Action films that were floating around some collector's basement. It was rather a good find, as you managed to watch the films for a few days, trying to get an understanding of Hong Kong Film Culture.

    And you were going to be honest with yourself, being a spoiled film brat with access to American films and those from Britain.

    They were not that good. Now that was not being fair to Hong Kong filmmakers. The audience that they were trying to show these films for was something akin to fantasy films. The Wuxia genre was what they were called. Now you knew nothing about that film genre really appealed to you.

    They were simple stories, like the Western, and even the Noir films that your father loved to harp on as classics.

    Then there was the process of dubbing. You really did not understand it. Why couldn't the original actor's lines be used?

    And of course, there was the culture that you did not understand. Cultivation? Chi? Gravity-defying stunts without wires or help. That was what you looked to. They believed in the perfection of one's self.

    But in the end, you came back with a slightly more understanding.

    At least a more healthy respect for what you were doing...

    And wishing to make it better.

    Reward: You have watched Hong Kong Cinema, and realize that there is far more than meets the eye. However, the quality of those films, to you, leaves much to be desired.

    Magoose: A Line From a Script.

    • A Line from a Script:

    Clint saw you at the typewriter you were using, with his usual stare of indifference as he examined the mess of papers that were sprawled out and scattered out on the script. "I see you have been productive." His sarcasm was evident as you looked back, rage in your face.

    "I hate you." You stated, the anger boiling in your veins. "You said it would be easy."

    Clint smiled and placed himself on the kitchen table, sitting down as he examined the entire process of your destructive paper pattering of the typewriter. He picked up a page and read it, being silent. "I think you are trying too hard with this."

    "You don't say!" You exclaimed as you felt a great deal of stress release as you laid down. "How do you do it?"

    Clint shook his head. "Well, for one thing, I don't try to write the entire history of the character in the pages at a time, where nothing of substance is being produced, save for the character's backstory."

    "That's important?" You asked.

    "Briefly yes, but this is not a novel. You are trying to convey something for a producer or an actor to understand, both to get in character and to convey what you may want to that end. You're being far too rigid, by not giving the actor, say me, time to grow into the role. You are trying to force them to be something with a far too rigid cast. The key to good screenplay writing is by giving the actor and director enough wiggle room to… create something."

    "Isn't the idea of a screenplay to you know, give the actors something to act too?" You asked. "It's just like acting in Shakespeare?"

    "A guideline yes. Do not mistake my view on the matter as gospel, I am very much experienced in film. Shakespeare is not much different than any other screenplay. You know all about interpreting the lines differently to make something memorable. Like, say, Hamlet being totally aware?"

    "Clint." You tried to stop him, but instead, CLint raised a hand.

    "Let me tell you what kid. Maybe let me have a look at one of the pages, let me pick up a line from the entire stack of pages, and say it was good." Clint said as he picked up one of the pages to read it.
    -------------------------------------------------

    Ten minutes later.

    "Clint… Clint." You said.

    Clint Eastwood broke from his trance and shook his head. "This is terrible. Like I've seen some bad scripts, but you might have a future in B-movie schlop that will never get made."

    "I know. I like acting more, to give that a try."

    "But, I did find one line that I think was by far the best thing you ever wrote. In this trash heap of a stack of paper." He stated.

    "What is it?" You asked.

    "It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. You take away all he's got... and all he's ever gonna have" Clint said. "What made you come up with that?"

    "Michael Collins." You said, letting your accent slip. "Appropriate, to be honest. Describes a hero and a villain all at once."

    Clint took a moment to think. "Well, mind if I steal it?"

    "What for, it's not really anything, why would I care?" You asked. "At least something came out of this. So could you help me burn it?"

    "I'll get the Kerosene." Clint offered as you both went to burn the hellish papers that was a blight upon the earth.

    Bruce had called you into the room, allowing the nervous energy that you seemed to be radiating off, to be a very smooth and very quick... problem. Brandon and Shannon were both sitting by Linda, and she was trying her best to keep the two toddlers calm as you tried desperately to control yourself. "He likes it." Bruce stated.

    And it was not like you had a reason to be nervous. "He likes the option you created?" You asked as you felt all the energy dissipate being replaced by a joyous energy of happiness and cheer!

    "I'm going to be in the movie, and play a very integral role in setting the tone?"

    Bruce for his part only allowed a small smile to appear, as the kids cheered. "You know you've become quite a name around the house." Linda stated as she handed off Brandon to you.

    You allowed yourself to shake your head, not trying to give any sort of acceptance of the praise. "You are forgetting, I'm homeless, broken and this is the first real job I have had in this industry. i should not be a staple of success. Need you remember that Bruce signed me up for a karate tournament, despite only having a few months of training, as a bet, to get this role?"

    Everyone laughed. "I still don't find that funny." You replied.

    "it's hilarious," Bruce replied. "But It was never about winning the tournament, but really adapting to sudden change and circumstances. Like I said-"

    "I know, I know, become like Water. But you are forgetting that water reacts to sudden change, or does jumping into a pool in a belly flop not hurt?" You shot back.

    Bruce's smile disappeared. "See this as an opportunity to impress, not only the director but yourself. You have been given an opportunity that even I did not get with my first real role."

    "And didn't you become Kato and it was awesome?" You replied.

    "Flattery will not get you anywhere." He replied. "But yes."

    "I've learned from dad that sometimes, being a kissass is all one needs to get ahead in life when it comes to powerful people." you replied.

    "Well having dignity also will get you far in life." Bruce replied.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Outside, you and Bruce stood out, looking at the sunset. "What did you promise him, Bruce?" You asked.

    Bruce raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"

    "Bruce, be honest with me. what the hell did you offer the director to get him to accept your proposal?" You asked.

    Bruce chewed on his lip for a moment before he stretched a little, moving his arm left and right before he sighed. "I waved my fee. I'm doing this for the Hong Kong minimum wage."

    You frowned. "Bruce, you shouldn't have-" you asked.

    "Oh no, I managed to snag a better deal for myself, I get 7% of the Gross." He stated. "I even did you a favor, and snagged you a 1% of the Gross."

    Your jaw fell to the ground. "How, and why?"

    "I have talked to Clint, and he seems to think that this movie will be successful, very successful, enough to where I am willing to risk such a gamble." He stated.

    "Clint talked to you? No offense, I thought you two didn't see eye to eye to each other?" You asked.

    "We don't. But we both agreed that, in the manner of speaking, insight was needed, even from a source that is not normal... or liked." Bruce was very adamant in his statement.

    "So that's it?" You asked. "You just talked to each other because you thought he had a good idea?"

    "Clint wished he managed to swing a percentage on the Gross for when he did Westerns with Leone. I think he believes that it's a good idea."

    Wow.

    "Though there is one thing I should tell you," Bruce stated. "Your name in the script, your name is 'Goose' Garfield. That is nonnegotiable."

    And there was the other shoe. When the hell would you escape that nickname?

    "WHAT!"

    Reward:

    Fee negotiated by Bruce, you will now earn 1% of the Gross for The Big Boss.

    Due to the Success in the roll, you will receive 2 Rerolls for reshoots.

    [] Practice writing: You want to write something, maybe even a script. At least to learn the craft. DC 20 (You try your hand at screenwriting, and maybe get something that is worth a damn. Please note that your script quality will have a roll malus due to never trying something like this before.) Nope.

    [] Research stuff, see if anything piques your interest: You may have graduated High School as a kid, but you never stopped trying to learn. DC 15 (Write-in what you want to learn about below)

    [] Talk to Clint: You want to ask Clint a few questions, like how he met your father? DC 0 (You just ask Clint about ancient history)

    [] Learn to play an instrument: You want to learn how to play something DC 80 (You have no idea what the hell you are doing.)

    [] Call your parents: You need to call mom and dad, see how they are doing? DC 10 (You call your parents and see what they are doing)

    []Uncle Bruce: Your sister, Cat needs you to take care of your niece. DC: 5 (You are a good uncle)

    []Babysitting, and other signs of Adulting: Bruce asked you to take care of Brandon and Shannon for the next few days while he does some final production stuff and planning. It can't be that hard... can it? DC: 10 (You and Brandon and Shannon all have a nice, fun-filled evening.)
