Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"... add another roast duck, thank you." Ronald sat at the table of Mr. Chow's Chinese restaurant again. After looking at the menu and ordering, he added another roast duck at the request of Assistant Prosecutor Helen Gable.

Helen Gable sat in the seat opposite Ronald, still dressed in a professional outfit of black coat, white shirt and pants. But this time she let her hair down, and it can be seen that she carefully put on makeup before the appointment.

"Do you know? At the beginning of the month, the former lead singer of the Beatles, John Lennon, was shot and killed by one of his crazy fans shortly after he walked out of this restaurant after having a meal." Helen said.

"Uh..." Ronald really didn't know. He was working hard on writing the script at that time, and he heard the news on the news, and he didn't read the detailed report carefully afterwards.

"It seems that Calvin Klein's friend David Geffen has just signed Lennon's contract not long ago?" Ronald inexplicably thought of business operations, and quickly lowered his head to drink a sip of water to drive this idea out of his head. Today he came to ask the beautiful prosecutor to help with Little Bud's case.

"Does it make you feel bored? I don't pay much attention to entertainment news." Helen Gable misunderstood Ronald's meaning of drinking water.

"No, no, I'm worried that you will feel bad if I eat in the same restaurant with you twice." Ronald quickly denied, "I originally wanted to change a restaurant, but Miss Gable said on the phone that you still like it here. I didn't expect you to like Chinese food too."

"In fact, where to eat is not as important as who to eat with." Helen Gable said seductively in a slightly hoarse magnetic voice, sticking out her tongue and licking her lips.

Then she raised the slender champagne glass and clinked glasses with Ronald.

A red lip was printed on the edge of the glass. Helen smiled and took a napkin to press it lightly on her lips to remove the excess lipstick.

Lawyers Lindsay Dole and Eugene came up with a very effective solution for little Bud. Mrs. Davis and Aunt Karen invited the principal of little Bud's high school to discuss together, and finally agreed to the proposal of the two lawyers.

However, this method must send little Bud's case to some judges who are willing to do this. Only Helen Gable, the lawyer's roommate and best friend, can handle this matter most conveniently.

The district attorney is an elected position, but the assistant prosecutor is a professional position. In fact, like lawyers practicing in law firms, they also need a lawyer's license. Helen Gable is Lindsay's classmate and a top student of law, but her father has an old relationship with the current district attorney and chose a different route from Lindsay.

Helen Gable agreed to cooperate, but asked to date Ronald again and cash the last rainy day check.

Americans like to watch baseball. In the early days of open-air stadiums without roofs, when it rained, the stadium would give the audience something called a racheck. The next time the weather turned good and the game was replayed, the audience could enter the stadium again with the racheck without having to buy a new ticket.

Last time when Helen Gable was asked to help Michelle Pfeiffer issue a temporary restraining order to two vegetarian scammers, Helen was busy with something else and left a racheck. This time Ronald asked her for help again, which was equivalent to owing her a favor twice.

"I thank you for your help, Miss Gable..."

"Nonono, I'm here for a date today, with a handsome guy, and I don't want to hear the professional name Miss Gable, nor do I want to hear anything about work." Helen Gable raised her index finger and shook it at Ronald.

"Okay. Don't move, Helen." Ronald picked up the napkin with one hand and gently wiped the lips of the beautiful prosecutor carefully, helping her wipe off the lipstick marks left above her lips because there was no mirror.

Helen Gable enjoyed this gentle treatment and tilted her head to cooperate. Her short hair fell from her ears and spread in front.

Ronald raised his other hand and put the dark hair behind Helen's ears again, then stared at her eyes intently. For a moment, the two of them were filled with love.

Ronald didn't know whether his initiative caused the other party's misunderstanding or whether Helen Gable had already taken a fancy to him. The two of them exchanged glances, and this feeling made Ronald very comfortable, as if this was not an exchange.

An idea came to his mind, if it was really with this beautiful prosecutor... it seemed not bad.

"Pan-skin roast duck, one serving." The sound of the waiter serving the dish interrupted the mutual appreciation of the two.

"Hehehe..." The beautiful prosecutor laughed non-stop. This young handsome guy was very much in line with her taste and was also interesting.

"Go to my place? Or take you home?" It took a long time to finish dinner. Ronald took out the key and a bill at the door of the restaurant and gave it to the doorman to pick up the car, while asking Helen Gable.

"I have a big bathtub there..." The beautiful prosecutor said to Ronald, holding his arm.

"Hiss..." Ronald's scalp tightened, and the hot air from Helen Gable's words drilled into his ears, and an electric current passed through his whole body.

The two returned to Helen's apartment. The beautiful woman closed the door with her foot, and Ronald took the opportunity to hug her, staggered the angle of her nose, and kissed her gently.

"Well, you are really... a good... kissing opponent. Lindsay is at home, go to my room..." The heat of Helen's words rushed to Ronald's face, making him emotionally high. He squatted deeply and The beautiful prosecutor picked her up and walked to the bedroom.

"Over there, over there..." Helen Gable pointed to her bedroom door. Ronald went in the wrong direction at first.

With a bang, Helen closed her bedroom door forcefully and turned on the TV to cover it up. After a while, the replay of the fourth season of the CBS TV series Dals began. The important character Jr. Ewing was shot at the end of the previous season. The first episode of the new season finally revealed that the murderer was his sister.

After the characters in the play learned the truth, a low or high exclamation came out through the door.

"It's starting again..." In the other bedroom, lawyer Lindsay Dole, who was still sorting out information, picked up two cotton balls and plugged his ears, one on the left and one on the right, to block the sound that was about to penetrate his ears. .

After a long time, Helen lay in Ronald's arms in the large bathtub in the bathroom of the apartment, "Oh, Ronnie, Ronnie, I'm a little reluctant to let you go today."

The sound of "Wow..." was the sound of Ronald stirring the hot water and reaching for the towel. Seeing Helen say this, Ronald was a little stunned when he picked up the dry towel, but he still helped Helen wipe her hair gently.

"I thought you felt the same way I did..."

"How do you feel?" Helen turned around and chuckled, "I am an independent urban woman. My goal is to become a female prosecutor in New York. I have no time to waste on romance."

Seeing that Ronald was silent, Helen Gable looked at Ronald and was surprised that he was not more happy to be irresponsible and a little sentimental, so she told him some truth.

Assistant U.S. Attorney is a career that requires all your time to move up in the competition. Especially for beautiful women, they have to withstand all kinds of gossip and have to be more impeccable.

In this way, Helen Gable had no time to develop a normal relationship.

A relationship requires both parties to invest time and energy to maintain it. During Helen Gable's working hours, no man could tolerate such a girlfriend. Her boyfriend was always less important than work, and she would have to leave her boyfriend and go to work anytime and anywhere.

"All I need is mutual attraction for men, you understand? Ronald."

"I understand, Helen. It's just that I might be looking forward to a real relationship between a man and a woman, rather than a simple relationship."

"Giggle...you are so cute, Ronald." Helen put on a cotton bathrobe, "How can professional men and women in big cities have such luxury time?"

"That's right. With the nature of my job, I write scripts, work with the crew, and do editing. I'm often busy and don't see people for months. Where can I find a stable love relationship?" Ronald thought about it and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Looking at Ingrid Bergman's autobiography, you can see that even for a beauty like her, her three marriages all ended in divorce. It is indeed not easy for men and women in the film and television industry to find long-term and stable partners, especially if you are interested in the appearance of your partner. If you still have some expectations about the character.

Helen Gable looked through her eyes and looked in the large bathroom mirror at Ronald who was standing behind him wiping her hair. She stretched her hands back to hold his head and commanded, "Kiss me."

"Yes, Mr. Prosecutor."

"Lindsay will take care of the rest for you. I am also contributing to the American Federation." After a long time, Helen lay on the bed in the bedroom, pulled up the quilt, and said to Ronald who was arranging clothes beside him.

"I'm leaving..." Ronald kissed the sleepy Helen Gable gently and walked out of the room.

"Ronald, it just so happens that you've finished it. We can talk about little Bud's trial arrangements."

"Um, Lindsay..." Ronald just happened to see the lawyer lady going out. Ronald said hello awkwardly and said while walking towards the door, "I will discuss it with you and lawyer Eugene tomorrow."

I am not used to being able to change my identity at any time like these professional women.

…

"Bud Davis Jr. manufactured, stored, wholesaled and sold pirated tapes. The goods were of huge value. The prosecutors charged him with three counts of piracy, illegal organization and trafficking of unlicensed goods, and infringement." A few days later, Helen Gable Standing before the examining magistrate, Bud Jr. was read the crime for which he had been charged by the District Attorney's Office.

"Defense lawyer? Did the defendant plead guilty?" The clerk specially sent the file to the court of Judge Jefferson, a veteran conservative white judge. "

The black lawyer Eugene uttered two words: "please plead guilty."

The old judge lowered his head, looked past his reading glasses, and looked directly at little Bud standing in the dock.

"Defendant Bud Davis Jr., do you understand that the crime charged is a felony? You will be required to serve up to 5 years in prison, with confiscation of illegal gains and a fine?"

"Yes, your honor." Little Bud looked directly at the judge, his expression full of regret.

"Do you plead guilty to the above charges?"

"Pleas guilty, your honor."

"Very good, it saves trial time. This court announces that the defendant pleads guilty and is found guilty. Has the prosecution and defense reached a plea agreement?"

Both parties shook their heads and waited for the judge to pronounce the sentence.

"In view of the need of the American federal government to maintain peace in the country and its allies, the defendant has no criminal record, has a good repentance attitude, and has turned over his illegal gains. I pronounce the sentence and send the defendant to the federal Marine Corps to serve overseas for 4 years, in addition to 4 years of reserve time after active duty.

The defendant will not have to serve any prison time while serving. If the defendant behaved well during his service, observed discipline, and retired smoothly. When discharged from service, the felony record can be revoked and veterans can enjoy normal schooling, medical and other normal benefits...

Finally, I would like to appeal again. Today’s national security requires more American soldiers to protect it. I hope more young people will join the army to serve the federal and public welfare. God bless America! God bless the military, Amen. "

"Now the defendant can go off with the Marine Corps Recruiting Office."

"Huh..." Ronald, who was listening, let out a sigh of relief. Lawyer Lindsay Dole, who was standing next to him, said to him, "Eugene is very good at this. Now that the federal government has abolished the military conscription system, the supply of soldiers has been introduced year after year. Judge Jefferson is a well-known conservative patriot. He is not committed to crimes like Little Bud." Serious criminals who are in good physical condition will be sent to serve their crimes.”

"Don't worry, the people in the recruitment office have already accommodated themselves. Little Bud will be sent to Hawaii or stationed at a base in Japan. After four years, not only will his felony record be revoked, but he will also be able to study for himself in the military and get a junior college diploma. ”

The two walked down the steps of the courthouse. In front of them, Mrs. Davis was saying goodbye to little Bud. Next to her was the sergeant from the recruiting office who was waiting to receive her.

"The thing about his age and high school diploma?"

"He is only a few months away from turning 17. His father was a soldier who died in the Marine Corps. The people in the recruitment office are very easy to talk to. The principal of the public high school is also very cooperative. It is not easy for a student to get out of Harlem."

Ronald nodded. Serving as a soldier was a way out for black people, but it was generally not easy for black people with no background to serve in the army. In order to enlist in the army, many black people would even deliberately commit a minor felony. Then, with the principal of their high school as a guarantee, they would be sentenced by a judge and sent to the army.

Little Bud's father was from the Marine Corps, and with the coordination of the lawyer Eugene, the matter went smoothly this time. It seems that I have to pay him a huge legal fee.

"Thank you, Ronald." Little Bud was signaled by Mrs. Davis to come over and thank Ronald.

"Serve in the Marine Corps and don't let your mother down."

"I will. Please help me take good care of my mother. I will repay you after I retire from the army, Ronald." Little Bud's experience during this period made him a little more mature. After hugging Ronald, he and the conscripts The sergeant in the office left together.

Mrs. Davis hugged Aunt Karen and cried, "This is how I sent Bud away..."

"Don't be afraid. Ronald has made arrangements this time. He will not serve in a dangerous place. It's like going to community college..." Aunt Karen gently patted Mrs. Davis on the shoulder to comfort her.
