The Kid & I Page #4

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.

Hello.

Welcome, everyone.

Billy,

this is Davis Roman.

Nice to meet you, sir.

Uh, this is Guy, my, uh, assistant.

Nice... to meet you all.

This is Shelby. Please, sit down.

Hi.

Hello.

Shelby, nice to meet you.

You look just like

your father only, uh,

a lot younger

and a lot more beautiful.

Shelby's my wife.

I knew that.

You look great in sea foam green.

I'm Aaron's step mom.

His mom and sisters live

in Bloomington, Illinois.

Aaron goes to school there

and spends his summers with us.

And this summer he turns eighteen.

And I said to him, Son... Just name it.

And he said... Dad,

True Lies is my favorite movie...

and I wanna be in a movie...

just like that.

So... here we are.

And he is so excited. He's been

working with the trainer, bulking up,

and taking driving lessons and

shooting lessons and acting lessons.

Ah, that's great but

that stuff's not really necessary.

I never did any of it and look at me.

Here's a photo

of Aaron with his team.

Handsome devil.

He's graduating this year.

Aaron's an exceptional kid.

Everyone who meets

him says he changes their lives.

So, how's the script coming?

Forget about it. He's on fire.

Good. Good.

Aaron's so excited about this.

And you really should get to know him.

He's got a lot

of great ideas about the story.

I bet he does.

Well... looks like it's gonna be

a great summer for all of us.

Yeah, I'll drink to that.

Oh, boy, this place is like a museum.

This is a nice piano.

Well, Shelby's working

on becoming a concert...

I've always wanted

to learn to play the piano...

and never thought I could

until about a year ago when...

Aaron insisted

that I take some lessons.

Speaking of which,

here he comes now.

Aaron Roman, superstar.

Hi everybody.

Hi Bill Williams.

Hello, Aaron.

Aaron's seen True Lies...

eighty-eight times.

Ninety-one times, Dad.

Oh, that's right. He saw it...

three more times yesterday.

Thank you, Bill...

for making this movie.

You're welcome, my friend, any time.

Okay, guys.

I'm bein' punked, aren't I?

Where are the hidden cameras?

You did a great job.

Ladies and gentlemen, Bill Williams.

- Isn't he hysterical?

- Oh, my God.

He kills me. You kill me.

He kills me.

- Aaron, honey.

- Yes?

Don't you wanna have Bill

autograph your True Lies DVD?

Yeah. I'll be right back.

Please.

Please.

Yeah. You know what?

I'm outta here.

No you don't.

You promised that little boy

you were gonna sign his DVD.

Would get yourself

in that living room?

On the count of three.

- You tricked me.

- I gave it to you on a platter.

- You made me look stupid.

- You're gonna thank me.

You know what? I almost tried

to cash this phony check.
