Alex Winter's Discontent

 or Concerto for Second Violin "Aux Printemps"

Characters;
Bill S. Preston [Aaron Paul](partner of Ted ____)
Doug McKenzie, [Rutger Hauer]"Great White North" (brother of Bob; not sure if it's vice versa)

Scene; Anywhere in LA, evening, interior 7-11, two questionable types in long line to checkout

Hey, I know you. You were in that movie about Canada and beer. That was awesome! Bob and Doug! My dad used to watch it all the time on tape and chug when you did. Good times, Never found a passenger, though. [laughs] Hey, we're both drinking Ruby Rocket, now. I used to be in pictures, too...

I know kid, I recognized you when you came in. Do a lot of people still light up for you?

Oh, yeah, constantly. I even kind of appreciate it now, but it's kind of like pity sex - "You mean there's another kind?" [too much laughter]

I blame my mf brother. He made about a thousand movies, some of them big as shit, and he couldn't even cut me in like a no-talent Quaid or Baldwin brother. I'm in comedy clubs now The McKenzie Brother - that's a barnburner, eh? You working at all?

The internet, man, I'm famous! somewhere, somehow... No money-type work, though. Somebody tried to set up a cop/buddy film with Ted. He said it sounded too "gimmicky" as if HE could tell [laughs] Not a word, since. I can't get a fucking break.

They checkout - head for the park, smoking Pall-mall unfiltered (Doug) and Kools

I don't hate the guy, though, it just seems like there's some kind of Curse of the Buddy Films, where one guy sheds the loser and takes off, and the other guy goes to hell, but my own brother, eh? At least we got away from the cold. Canada - the only place I've been that makes LA not suck. I only really miss the women. What a buffett!

To women! Pours down about half a quart. Smiles
