The Kid & I Page #8

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.

That is a wrap!

Thank you for a great job...

Let's party! Whoo!

Susan.

Susan.

Hey.

Hey. Thank you for comin' back

and finishing the movie.

I really appreciate it.

Oh, God, it was fun.

Yeah, it was.

So what's next for you?

Oh big plans,

I'm gonna disappear for awhile.

Take a long, long trip, you know.

Oh, I wish I could do that some time.

Yeah. I'm lucky. I guess.

Maybe they'll get it right.

Aaron. Aaron. A-Dog!

Act like you're real paparazzi.

All right, all right, keep shootin'.

Aaron Roman. Aaron Roman.

Yeah, yeah.

Superstar. How does that feel?

Weird now. But I'll get used to it.

Arielle, how is Aaron as an actor?

He's the best.

Now, you guys play

boyfriend-girlfriend in the movie.

Anything goin' on off screen?

I love Aaron.

He's like a brother to me.

Darn.

Excuse me, h-uh, how are you

involved in the picture?

Actually I packaged the entire thing.

Who are you?

Aren't you Johnny Bernstein?

Are you an actress?

You look so familiar.

No.

A waitress at Morton's?

No.

Are you a stripper?

No. You used to be married to my mom.

Oh, you're gonna have

to be more specific than that.

Yvette?

Yvonne...

No, my mom's name is Yvette.

Are you sure?

I just don't remember why we broke up.

Because you kept hitting on my aunt.

I don't remember that.

And then my mom stabbed you?

I do remember that.

Ooh, she's a lotta laughs.

Listen Have your mother call me.

As a matter of fact

why don't you have your aunt call me.

Here's one for you.

Are you cute or what?

Ew.

Jeffrey!

Davis! Over here.

Shelby. For your next movie

will you adopt me?

How did. What is this?

Listen. It's eight o'clock now.

Pick me up at ten o'clock sharp right

here and take me back to the motel.

Suck in your stomach

I can't get you in my frame.

Shut up, kid, Jesus.

Hey Davis, Shelby,

Bonnie. Wow, you look incredible.

I mean you look incredible too,

Shelby and, Davis...

I hope you like this movie

I'm sure I will.

But who cares?

I've never seen my son so happy.

And that's what making

this movie was all about.

Thank you.

Now I would've sent a limo for you

but no one knew

where you were staying.

Oh, I-I'm at the Four Seasons,

but I like cabs,

'cause I like to conserve the fossil fuels.

You sound like you should be

running for governor.

Yeah right, I'm an actor.

Who'd vote for me?

And I wanna thank you.

For what?

Wearin' that dress for one thing but,

also for raisin' a great son.

Bonnie, family photo.

Come on, Mom.

Get in there.

I am hearing a buzz.

You come to my office next week,

we're gonna talk about your career.

I think you should represent Aaron.

Have him call me. Sure.

Bobby!

You guys are lookin' great.

What a beautiful family.

One more. Thank you very much.

Waiter! Get me another

apple-tini, proto.

And some waxed dental floss. Waxed.

Hey, Guy.

Hey, thanks for the money,

dude, but I-I probably don't need it

since I'm gonna be stayin' on here,

workin' with the family.

You know, event planning,

lawn maintenance, etc.

And I've quit drinking. In the day time.

Aaron asked me to.

I asked you to quit drinkin' fifty times.

Did you?

Yes.

Funny, I don't remember.

I musta been drunk.

Yeah.

I think, Bunny's got the hots for me.

What do ya think?

I think that you guys

have a lot in common.

Go get her, go get her, go get her.

Yes, best of party.

Hi.

How about you

and me startin' a bunny farm?

Thank you.

Hi, Mom.

I wanted to thank

everyone for being here.

Susan. Thank you

for making a great movie.

My director Penelope.

And my assistant, Guy.

You rock.

Arielle. I love you.

Am I forgetting anyone?

Oh, Chloe, the dog.

You did a great job.

I did this movie to show the world

I could do anything.

But mostly I made this for you.

Mom and Dad.

I hope you are proud of me.

I wanna make

a difference in this world.

I wanna show the world

we can all be heroes.

Go ahead and roll the film!

Gentlemen,

this is the most important

and complex assignment

I've ever given anyone.

That's why I called on you... A-Dog,

because you're

the best America's got.

Yeah, dispatcher,

I'm here at the theater

for my ten o'clock pickup.

Copy that, Gizmo.

There's no way they're gonna

crash into the hangar!

We got 'em!

Oh boy, Chloe... Let's go home.

Well, once again

you've saved the world.

To my partner, the greatest spy

that ever lived!

I couldn't have done it

without my ladies.

You're cool, A-Dog.

Mad love from me

and my sistas. A-Dog!

A-Dog

It's the President.

He would like to talk to you.

Well, Mr. President,

you think the economy's in trouble?

Well I'm in the middle

of a trouble sandwich.

Can you call me back

tomorrow in the p.m.?

A-Dog is in for a big night.

Peace out, man.

Bill, I bet you thought

I forgot about you.

Why are you out here?

This is for you. Thank you.

Well, it's your birthday.

I shoulda gotten you something.

How did you...?

I got connections.

Why?

You're family now. Right Mom

Yes. Because of your

kindness to my son

you will always be part

of our great, crazy family.

Whether you like it or not.

Right Dad?

That's right son.

You have no choice.

I love you, Bill.

Okay?

We all do.

See Bill.

You'll never be alone again.

You know, this movie

came out so good...

I'd like to finance a real one.

It's like you're in my mind reading it.

Get outta there!

All right. I have a great idea.

Tomorrow night, we meet

at Mr. Chow's, on you D.R.,

and we'll seal the deal.

Susan, maybe you should rewind it

to the hot tub scene.

I forgot my gift.

Save me a seat.

- I will.

- Okay.

Well you don't need this anymore.

Did you make all this happen?

It was Aaron.

We helped a little bit.

What, do think we'd let

anything happen to you?

We're partners, remember?

What is real?

Everything behind that curtain.

Hi guys!

Hi Aaron!

Hey, kiddo!

Hurry up, Bill,

or you'll miss the kiss.

You better go inside.

What about you?

I'll see you later.

Come on aren't you gonna say

I'll be back.

All right.

No-no. All right. No.

- No. It's old.

- Tired.

It's really old. And we're old.

I'm old. Come on.

Bill, sit-sit down.

That is me.
