Conversation leads to blockbuster Hollywood hit!
18/08/2008 – 20:38Samson: Sometimes our conversations get too silly for our own good and we end up wasting a good 10 minutes just randomly saying things.
It all started with Paris complaining about how carelessly our government spends money on lunches for goverment employees. He’s up in arms about it. How we, as tax payers, should not have to pay for free lunches every time there’s a meeting or some sort of get-together. This leads to a development of a completely fictional tale of a mentor/student relationship within a corrupt government system who eventually learns from their mistakes and end with an act of self-redemption.
I don’t really know if this is how conversations normally go, but if you knew us, this kind of thing happens all the time. It’s hilarious, but I suppose you’d have to be there to get it. Anyway, here’s how it went:
Paris: Damnit! We need to elect better public officials! Government employees go to lunch WAY too often on our tax dollars!
Samson: What exactly are you gonna do about it?
Paris: I just said it dumbass, we need to elect better public officials!
Samson: Haha yeah get right on that.
Paris: I will!
Samson: And while you’re busy reforming the government corruption, in the form of free lunches mind you, our government employees will get together and will be enjoying free lunch with your money for the next 20 years.
Paris: I got it! I will set up the perfect candidate who will become my puppet in politics. Then I will go too far and be corrupt myself, forcing my young associate to have a moral choice.
Samson: Wait… wha?
Paris: Yes, and he will choose to betray his mentor, the one who has helped him so much in his political career. He goes off on his own, moving on to have a successful career. There will be a beautiful girl in there somewhere too, I’ll have to ask Jacks about that. Anyways, as he gets older, he himself goes too far! Yes!
Samson: In the mean time, his mentor sought to reform his ways. He has cleaned himself up and has also built a respectable career as an attorney.
Paris: Right! And now the student has to go back to his mentor for help!
Samson: The mentor is haunted by what his former student has done. But remembering his old transgressions, he sought to redeem his student and himself by offering to help. Together, they set up one final scam to bail him out of his predicament using taxdollars but fails in the end when someone EVEN HIGHER UP uses them as pawns for his own plans of corruption.
Paris: No no no, time out. That’s going too far. The way I see it, both perform an act of self-redemption by introducing a bill and setting up a long term plan that will help the people of the United States and reduce corruption in our system.
Samson: Ok. I agree about going too far but yours is kinda boring and anti-climactic.
Paris: So where are we at right now?
Samson: The mentor has reformed, the student is in trouble and needs to get bailed out.
Paris: Ok, how about this. The mentor still seeks to redeem his student and himself by offering to help. He struggles to muster the support of his new associates but in the end sways them to help. With the struggle over, both mentor and student walk away a little wiser and strive to serve and help others.
Samson: But in the end, there’s still others seeking to exploit a corrupt system.
Paris: Right! That point will be made clear.
Samson: Like we can introduce a shifty-eyed guy at the closing credits.
Paris: Hahaha! We got ourselves a Hollywood movie! Dude we rock at this.
Samson: Yeah no kidding. They should totally buy this story. Matt Damon should star in it. I’ll let him.
Jacks: Guys… As much as I love Matt Damon, this is just like Training Day 
except with politics and more… boring… cuz it’s got no guns.
Paris: What? How dare you? You didn’t help at all!
Jacks: Cuz, it’s Training Day! Starring Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke? You remember.
Samson: Paris, she’s right. It’s just like Training Day.
Paris: Well you know what? I loved Training Day! And if Training Day was good, this HAS to be good too!
Samson: You’re right, our story is awesome. I’d totally watch it.
Jacks: *sigh* I’d totally watch it too if Matt Damon was in it *giggles*
