“Hmmm… I guess.” The girl replies flatly. “Let me guess: you grew up on <span class="mu-s">ARMAND SCHLOCKENHEIMER</span> and <span class="mu-s">SILVIO STAMONE</span>, right?”
Well <span class="mu-i">yea</span>, you nod as some of your favorite scenes flash across your mind, but there’s one type that <span class="mu-i">really</span> stuck with you…
“Lemme guess… <span class="mu-s">KUNG FU</span>.”
Right again! Dang, she could write a book on what she knows about you…
“Any recommendations?” Asks Pepper as you rapidly approach your destination! “I tried a few I read about on the internet, but…”
There’s plenty, you explain, but there’s one movie that <span class="mu-i">really</span> stuck with you: you don’t really remember the original Chinese title, but it’s roughly translated into ‘<span class="mu-i">Riverside Village</span>’.
Your passenger goes quiet as she presses against your back again. She clearly wants you to explain, but every time her chest pushes against your back, well…
It’s <span class="mu-i">distracting</span>, is what you’re saying.
Anyways, you begin, it starts with this guy, right? The movie doesn’t explain it straight-out, but he’s a vagrant… and he’s pretty much on his last legs. We’re talkin’ cut-up, caked in mud, dying of hunger!
“Mhmmm..” The girl responds, already entranced by the story!
So these villagers find him, right? They nurse him back to health, give him these healing herbs, new clothes, they even give him a room to stay in until he’s ready to leave! Once he’s healed, though, he immediately gets to work repaying them and even works on the farm of the guy that helped him out. No charge!
When Pepper fails to interrupt, you continue to summarize!
Things seem pretty good for a while, you continue, but after a few days the vagrant meets the owners of the village… a pack of ruthless bandits that help themselves to whatever they want… including the villager’s daughters and food!
“Bet he doesn’t stand for that!”
No he <span class="mu-i">DOESN’T</span>, you nod! So he fights back! He scares off the lowly bandits and gets the attention of their boss… needless to say he’s not too happy about it!
“So… so how does it end?”
Oh no, you smile, you ain’t gonna spoil it for her! She’s just gonna have to come over and watch it with you some time!
“While we practice cooking, right?” She retorts with a smug grin in her tone!
Well, you shrug, you’ll see…
