"Hey um this is Audrey again. It turns out I'd like to hang and watch a movie with someone, and you're basically the only person I know who isn't busy, so..."

Permalink

"So you're inviting me over to your room for that?"

Permalink

"Yeah basically."

Permalink

"What the hell, I'll try it. What movie?"

Permalink

"I was maybe thinking of a Jackie Chan one? Rush Hour?"

Permalink

"Never seen it. Who's this Chan guy?"

Permalink

"Oh, he's around on a few Earths - martial artist/actor with a flair for weird fight scenes and big stunts. Surprised you haven't heard of him, his movies are great."

Permalink

"I'm from Cthonia, remember? I don't know much about Earth culture."

Permalink

"But... you use little bits of spanish, and so on..."

Permalink

"I've had time to absorb some stuff, I just keep getting ambushed by things. Let's do the rest of this in person, alright?"

Permalink

"Alright! My room number is thirty."

Permalink

"Be right over."

Audrey opens the door for her a few minutes later. "Come on in, the show's all set up."

Permalink

"Nice place. Kinda basic but I like it that way. Here on the couch?"

Permalink

"Yeah, here on the couch. What'd you like for movie snacks?"

Permalink

"Popcorn, a Coke, and some fuzzy peaches will do me, thanks."

Permalink

"Cool." She summons up the requested snacks from the console. "You like gummies too?"

Permalink

"Fuzzy peaches especially, but yeah."

Permalink

"Nice." She gets some of her peppermint patties and cherry gummies from the nightstand, and adds some popcorn and pop to round it out. "Ready to start?"

Permalink

"Mhm."

Permalink

She plays the movie.

The movie opens with a harbour scene where crates are being moved under the watchful eye of a bald asian tough. Jackie Chan infiltrates the supervising ship, at one point going directly feet-first through a porthole in the wall. There's a standoff between Jackie and the tough, whose name is revealed to be Sang. Sang pushes another member of the boat's crew at Jackie and flees; Jackie pursues after the momentary distraction, but is nearly crushed between two shipping containers by Sang's gang, and Sang escapes. The rest of the police force arrives and arrests everyone. 

Cut to a formal dinner somewhere in Hong Kong, where Jackie's boss, Consul Han, is managing the handover from the British. Han announces that Jackie's team has captured priceless artifacts from thousands of years of chinese history, and the crowd celebrates.

"So now Sang gets up to more trouble."

Permalink

"Wait for it."

Consul Han's daughter, Soo Yung, is introduced after the dinner. She's mad at Jackie for leaving without telling her. Jackie says goodbye, gives her a pendant, and tells her to remember to practice her kicks and eye gouges.
