Chapter 18 I went to celebrate Ethan's excellent results this time, and Mia decided to go to the restaurant tonight and eat McDonald's."
I didn't choose McDonald's because it was cheap, but because it was for the people of Ireland."
Mia makes a "Irishman" joke.McDonalds, as the name suggests, have a strong connection to the Irish, as only the Irish would add a c in front of their surname to indicate whose descendants they were, such as McCain, cQueen, and the infamous McCarthy.The surname "Mai" is generally associated with the Irish, and similarly, surnames ending in son are often associated with the English.There is also a custom of adding an O in front of the surname in the Irish surname, such as O'Brien, O'Sullivan, O'Bern, O'Neill, and Ethan's surname, O'Connor (OConnor).As for his blonde hair and blue eyes, he actually inherited the characteristics of his mother's German ancestry.It's just that this Irish joke is not funny at all, but it gives Ethan and Catherine goosebumps.Anyway, the trio went to a nearby McDonald's, which is still a safe and secure Westwood district, unlike the McDonald's in Compton, where the trio now live, where the ordering counter is wrapped in bulletproof glass and turned into a bank window.Another big reason to eat McDonald's is actually cheap.It is worth refuting the rumor that fried chicken is not actually exclusive to the poor, but blacks ate more in the early days, and it is very dangerous to invite blacks to eat fried chicken or watermelon in the United States.Despite being a relatively cheap fast food restaurant, Mia still says she "doesn't like to eat"."
In the past two days, I have taken advantage of my free time in the evening to write a movie script, which is ready to be sent to the development departments of major film companies."
Mia announced the so-called "good news".Working and doing some hard work is definitely not enough to support three students, not to mention that Catherine is about to go to college.Naturally, she redoubled her efforts.Catherine immediately laughed and said, "Tell me about it" and stabbed Ethan, who was concentrating on the beef burger, with her elbow.After the crossing, Ethan showed a special preference for beef, and he was not happy with any cow, and according to his way of eating, his head might get bigger."
This is a biopic with religious elements, based on a real experience I heard when I was a child, about a pastor who came to a big city alone after leaving the church, and he showed great discomfort in the face of various social phenomena, and finally became a criminal under the pressure of reality, and punished the so-called sinful people in the Bible in the form of crimes......
"Hollywood is very fond of adapting scripts, 40% of the Oscar-nominated best films are based on books, and there are also a lot of movie scripts based on real deeds, Mia took this path.As for the script itself, this kind of theme is not new, and the framework is not much different from "Midnight Cowherd" and "Taxi Driver", but it is just a layer of missionary shell, and it will not be sold in 1994."
Our primary goal now is to survive, not to win the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay."
Ethan stuffed the last bit of burger into his stomach.Mia was stunned for a moment, then smiled.Catherine put her hand directly on the table and "hissed......
Hey!
”Ethan pressed Catherine's wrist."
How can you be so shocking?"
Catherine felt that Ethan was talking too much."
What you said is so much, why don't you write it yourself?"
Catherine activates the "YouCanYouUp" skill."
Speaking of which......," Ethan folded the hamburger's wrapper."
If it's a commercial film script, I have a good idea."
Ethan pondered how to speak, and the religious elements Mia had mentioned gave him some hints."
Why not change the script to a crime genre?
Your role as a martyr offender can be preserved, and it is an inherent conflict that he chastifies the world in the name of guilt and who himself has committed the crime of abuse. ”"This requires re-planning the protagonist, it is better to set it up as a double protagonist, like a partner in the detective, what do you think?"
Ethan looked up at Mia."
Hmm......
I think you could go on. ”Mia cupped her chin in her hand and pondered.Catherine looked at Ethan with some consternation, she just wanted Ethan to shut up, but she didn't expect Ethan to really be able to say two words."
Then I'll really think about it......"
Ethan scratched his head.The day before he crossed, he did watch a movie analysis at station B, it was a classic crime movie, almost thirty years, it can be said to be a household name, Ethan himself has watched it at least ten times, and many details in the creation are mentioned in the movie analysis."
The two detectives, one old and one young, the older one is named Somerset, an old detective who is about to retire, and he was also enthusiastic when he was young, but in decades of police detective life, the edges and corners have been smoothed out.However, when the murder occurred, he would also deliberately ask if the child had seen the situation at the time of the crime, which means that he still has a trace ......of warmth in his heart" "In order to hand over the work, the police department assigned a young partner from the South, named Mills, David Mills.He has a wife who has been in love since high school, and the family life is happy.Mills has the momentum of a young man and always wants to do something in the position of agent, but he is a grumpy ......"
Ethan closed his eyes and scratched his cheeks, as if trying to recall something."
The beginning of the story is a rainy afternoon, I don't know the specific time, I don't know the specific city, I only know that it is Monday, God spent seven days to create the world, and another person wants to use these seven days to create a church ceremony......
"Ethan is like a spiritistic magic stick, telling stories that have nothing to do with himself.lt; divcss=ot; ntentadvot; gt; "Wait a minute!"
Mia abruptly interrupted Ethan's narration.She hurriedly got up, so to speak, rushed to the counter, borrowed a pen from the waiter, and then spread out the hamburger wrapper that Ethan had just folded, writing something on it with messy notes."
Where did you hear this story?"
Catherine was particularly puzzled."
You can understand it as, a dream."
Ethan said casually.He then began to narrate: "It was a Monday, and the two detectives came to the scene of the crime, and although they had seen a lot of information, the picture in front of them was beyond their imagination......
It's like spaghetti, he was attacked while eating, and strangely, there were no wounds on his body......
"It didn't even look like a homicide, but the deceased's hands and feet were tied with barbed wire. ”In the morgue, the medical examiner showed the two men the deceased's stomach, which was the size of a basketball.The medical examiner pointed to the body for the two to examine for themselves.His duodenum was greatly distended, and the inner wall was cracked, and it looked like he was bursting alive, and the real cause of death was internal bleeding.The police finally came to the conclusion that the murderer continued to force the deceased to eat, which lasted more than 12 hours, and when he couldn't hold it anymore, he kicked him in the stomach. ”Intuition told Summerset that the case was going to be very tricky and that he didn't want to get in trouble before he retired.But the boss insisted on it, and Somerset had no choice but to take the file, and a sense of foreboding came to his heart......
"On Tuesday, there was another murder in the city, the deceased was a well-known lawyer, his blood was released, and the murderer used his blood to write a big word on the luxurious carpet ......'
greed.'" ”"At the scene of the previous case, the character left by the murderer was also found - 'Gluttony.And in a word......
I think I forgot which phrase, but definitely from Milton's Paradise Lost. ”"Oh!
The Seven Original Sins of Catholicism!
”Catherine exclaimed.Ethan opened his eyes: "Yes, but this is just the beginning.On Thursday, the police found fingerprints at the scene, from a mentally ill ......"
"Wait, why Thursday, shouldn't it be Wednesday?"
”Mia put down her pen."
All I can tell you now is that all this is deliberately arranged by the real culprit behind the scenes."
Ethan had a mysterious smile on his face."

On Thursday, lazy, that man was tied to the bed and tortured for a whole year......"
"On Saturday, a dusty woman was brutally murdered, just like a man and a woman would do, and the murder weapon was a sharp knife, which hung on the man's waist!"
“God，Jes。”
Catherine shook her head, she didn't want to hear it anymore."
On Sunday, arrogance, a female model was disfigured, either by calling an ambulance or swallowing sleeping pills, and this arrogant person chose the latter.""
When it was all over, the killer himself came to the police station and asked the two detectives to take him to a wasteland, or else he would defend himself on the grounds of mental illness.In the car, he declared that he was working on a masterpiece. ”The three of them arrived at their destination, along with a package containing ......
Mills' wife's head!
”"The killer was jealous of Mills' family, and he was part of the blame, and Mills, out of anger, shot the killer.""
That's what it is......
The Story of the Seven Deadly Sins. ”Ethan calmly finishes the film's narration.
“s**t！”
Catherine's brow furrowed.Of course, it would be best if Mia could write a script based on this.And Ethan also found a way to sanction Rice through this narrative - anger.Just like Mills in the movie.From the information given by the flea, and how he feels personally these days.Rice is clearly an impulsive guy.Driven by anger, he may make quite a few impulsive moves.Of course, this has to be done in a limited way, preferably something that does not hurt much, or does not hurt at all, but is extremely insulting......
And considering the safety of himself, Catherine and Mia, this matter can only be a misunderstanding.So what's the misunderstanding, which doesn't do any real harm but is extremely insulting?
Ethan pondered and couldn't find a reasonable answer.But the idea is that I need to find out more about Thomas and the fleas......
