She doesn’t drink, so I’m kind of at sea with what to suggest for a first date. We end up meeting at this gelato shop downtown. We hang out for a bit and chat. I ask if she wants to walk over to this book store. We walk over. We walk to the philosophy section (i’m looking for Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulation, have not been able to find it anywhere). She picks a random book in the philosophy section. Turns out its a book that has no business being there, a Brothers Grimm book. She opens it.
In the back of the book is $700 in cash.
We look around thinking, surely, we’re on camera and this is some kind of prank.
We took it. She buys the book for $6. Then we went to a concert together.
I still cannot fucking believe this just happened.
This should be a double feature, a romcom and action thriller. Both stories happen in the same time and place, both stories hinge on the book. The action movies inciting incident is our reluctant hero not finding the money for his drop and the baddies believing he stole it.
The romcoms inciting incident is the couple finding this money, sending them off on an adventure of love.
You should be able to watch the start of both movies at the same time and have the two scenes match up.
