The Kid & I Page #3

Synopsis: Bill Williams is a down-and-out actor who is unexpectedly hired to write a sequel a la "True Lies," the action film that made him famous more than a decade ago. When Bill learns that his co-star is Aaron Roman, a rich kid with no acting experience, what appeared to be the chance for a major comeback turns into a series of outlandish complications. As the duo embark on a journey of outrageous misadventures, the unlikely pair discover that it takes more courage to face real life challenges than it does fighting bad guys on the big screen. Although Aaron may be inexperienced in acting, his tenacious spirit, unwavering optimism and unconditional friendship turns out to be an important, enduring gift to Bill.

And the star cannot

be best friends with someone...

who's probably gonna

get cut out of the movie anyway.

I didn't mean in the movie.

I meant in real life.

You wanna be my best friend?

Yeah.

Don't you have any friends, Guy?

Just you.

That's sad.

Well not as sad as last

week when I had no friends at all.

Guy... you are my friend,

you are my best friend,

you are my only friend.

Oh, I love you, man. I love you.

All right listen... do me a favor.

I need you to lay off the booze until

we're done with the movie.

Say no more.

All right, thanks, my friend.

So I think we'll start

off in Omega Sector,

'cause that's where

the original started.

It's a really cool location, and...

Thought you

were gonna lay off the booze.

No, I just didn't want you

to say no more about it.

You haven't had

a job in awhile, have ya?

Not since Operation Desert Storm.

You're a veteran?

No I just haven't had a job since '91.

All right.

Hello?

Well hi, sweetheart.

Thanks for returning my call.

I wanted to ask

you about Bill Williams.

Isn't it fantastic?

I don't think so.

Well you're probably right,

I mean he didn't have

that many other options.

Oh, how did he do it?

Well quite frankly, I did it.

Thank you, thank you very much.

What-what the hell

are you talking about?

What the hell am I talking about?

I put the whole deal together.

What deal?

Are we talking about his movie deal?

No. Bill Williams died-right?

No, no, no, that was a major misprint.

Bill's alive?

Well, thanks to me he

is very much alive. Bill Williams,

I saw him in my office this morning.

And he's making a film?

Co-starring and writing.

Let me just say something

to you, Susan,

you add your name to this, we can

make your name just a little bit bigger.

We can make your money

just a little bit tastier.

If you get my drift, huh?

Now I'm gonna see him

tomorrow morning. Any messages?

Oh-oh no. N-no, thanks.

I love talking to you.

Thanks.

This man lives large.

What does he do for a living?

I don't know. Acquisitions.

Shipping. Mini malls. Fine wines.

Ask him if he needs an assistant.

No.

Who are you here to see?

Just tell Davis,

Johnny Bernstein is here with Billy.

Mr. Roman will be

with you in just a moment.

One sugar, a little milk.

Get me anything that's free.

Take notes during the meeting, okay?

Okay.

Do you got a pen?

You don't have a pen?

That's rule number one, Guy.

What's rule number two?

You don't have anything to write on?

What's in your backpack?

Oh my God. You don't have to carry

beer around with ya all the time!

Well what if they don't have any?

Boys... could we keep the

psycho-drama until after the meeting.
