Post dinner (part 1) Flashcards
WANDA - now that Dixie and Chip are divorced - again - don’t you think she needs a younger man in her life? Dixie and Daniel would be an awesome power couple. Who votes for Dixie and daniel?
ZAC - hold on.. does Daniel get a say in this!?
SPARROW - we’re just good friends.
ZAC - yeah, that’s what Hamish and Wanda used to say.
SPARROW - okay now, don’t start rumors as Zac.
ZAC - (notices croissant whose wandered in) hey, who’s that guy? Sparrow, did one of your crazy fans follow you here?
SPARROW - intent to kill? You mean murder?
ZAC - not a heart attack? How was he poisoned?
DETECTIVE - And I am Chief Inspector pierre, Pierre Croissant. Now you two (pointing to Zack and Sparrow), please provide me with your names.
ZAC - Zac Benwixky
DETECTIVE - it appears someone wanted Monsieur Hamish to leave permanently. Who else ate these chocolates?
ZAC - Hamish ate the white chocolate. Then I admit I ate one, or maybe two - or three. And Braden ate a couple.
DETECTIVE - alas, my Carlie Potter dreams will never be the same. Perhaps better…? (takes a moment to consider) yes, quite possibly… and now the last a letter.. for Zac Benwicky. What have we here? A Japanese movie (reads in “ Japanese” Watashi no amerikan ninja) “my American Ninja” I translate the plot: “one Gaijin fights off many big breasted women who desire his body. “ this foreigner is Stormy Thunder, a strange name. Mon Dieu - Stormy Thunder it is… you Mr Zac!
ZAC - yeah, it’s true. I did go by stormy thunder in those Japanese movies.
DETECTIVE - - I’ll have to view these movies - as part of my investigation of course. Now for the letter.. hey zack. Those “ stormy Thunder quote movies certainly titillated the Japanese ladies- “midnight foreign cowboy “ and “big man in Tokyo” were great, but the “action” in “my American Ninja” was superb. $500,000 in my Swiss bank account within 10 days and your secret’s safe with me. If not, I’m sure the fans would enjoy seeing more of your….. talent? Those movies certainly do expose your best side. Hamish Ps I knew your threat for meaningless.
ZAC - okay, here’s the story: a Japanese nurse working in the US adopted me as a baby, and then she moved back to Tokyo with me. I grew up as a typical Japanese boy, but look at me - do I look japanese? I didn’t fit in. But I could cause a stir as a big strong foreign dude!
DETECTIVE - “Big” is no doubt one of your… hidden talents. Tell me. Why does Hamish mention threats?
ZAC - so - after I got the first letter, I went to his house to confront them. I - I said I’d kill him if he released those videos. I don’t have 500,000! He laughed and said we could discuss it over a glass of wine. He was going to make my life hell, and he just laughed! I was angry, but I couldn’t kill him.
