The Kid & I Page #2

Does the name Davis Roman...

mean anything to you?

He's a billionaire.

Very rich. Very generous.

He has commissioned you,

you, Bill-to co-star

and write a motion picture.

You're kidding me.

I can't believe it either.

The man must be an idiot.

But he's a billionaire,

and he's got this son

who is a big fan-of yours!

This is his eighteenth birthday present.

First check. Half a million dollars,

I took out my ten percent, of course.

You get the other half

as soon as you finish filming.

Four hundred

and fifty thousand dollars?

What kind of movie do I right?

An action-comedy. All right.

You know, kind of like, um, uh,

True Lies. All right actually...

exactly like True Lies.

Is Arnold in it?

If they could get him,

you'd still be cocooning to

the oldies in your bathtub.

So who's gonna be my co-star?

This is brilliant.

Aaron Roman. His son.

So this eighteen

year old kid is gonna...

He's seventeen. He's gonna

be eighteen in a few months.

So he's gonna be

the ass-kicking action hero...

and I'm gonna be the dumb,

fat hyperactive sidekick.

Exactly.

I'm in.

Tomorrow we're gonna meet

at Davis Roman's office.

Here's his address.

Five o'clock sharp.

I'll be there. Okay.

I need to borrow forty bucks.

I just gave you

four hundred fifty thousand dollars.

Oh, I'll-I'll pay

you back soon as I cash this check.

Oh, I'm so sorry,

I've only got hundreds.

Denise?

Yes, Mr. Bernstein?

Bill Williams owes me

one hundred dollars. Write it down.

Got it.

Great news. I'm doin' a movie

and I need an assistant.

It pays five hundred dollars.

Are you interested?

Five hundred dollars a year?

Five hundred dollars a week.

A week?

Yes! Now your first job...

I need you to go to the drug store,

pick me up some toiletries.

I need deodorant,

tooth paste, tooth brush, floss...

shaving cream, legal...

hey pay-pay attention.

- This is an important test for you.

- Okay.

Stuff like waxed dental floss.

Waxed?

Yes.

Nice.

Yeah.

This could be my comeback.

Yeah mine too.

Who are you again?

I'm Bill Williams, actor.

Guy Prince, assistant to the stars.

No-no-no-no-no-no I'll drive.

Okay, the kid's seventeen right?

But maybe we age him a little

bit make him like twenty-two.

That way people don't get all freaked

out when he gets shot at and stuff.

Plus it makes

it more believable that me,

his best friend of twenty years,

is forty-five.

Oh wait a minute. Maybe I was

best friends with his dad.

His dad blew up and now

I'm best friends with the kid.

Maybe, uh,

I could be your best friend.

No. See that's not realistic.

This is your first movie

so you're gonna have a small part.

You can be like

a bartender or a doorman.
