Adam & Eve Trillogy

ADAM
 

 

He's tired of being The Hustler. He's had Enough; therefore, he's no longer blinded by The Color Of Money. Now he wants to strive for what truly benefits him, but he has to Do The Right Thing. He's been down Carlito's Way-He lived like Denzel in Training Day. Living this life leads to three: Life, Walking The Green Mile, or someone buying a Tombstone. In the 25th Hour, the choice is made to Blow Sin City, ridding himself of the possible Fatal Attraction of being and American Gangster.

 

He knows this is not Child's Play-The Dangerous Minds he got Paid In Full with will deem his choice as being Unfaithful and The Wild Bunch will seek Revenge. He's plans his departure under the Deep Cover of Twilight. At the same time, he makes a promise to himself that if he gets Caught Up in a Face Off with the Goodfellas, rather than abandon his Mo Better Blues, he'll Die Hard.

 

He loads The Naked Gun and takes flight. Cruising in a Streetcar Named Desire-trying to live a better life, but now he's Wanted. As He looks through his Rear Window, he sees some Boyz-N-The Hood pursuing him. Resisting the urge to go Psycho, as they know he can, he weaves through the Traffic and is Gone With The Wind...

 

 

EVE

 

She once thought it was All About Eve, The Graduate from Yale, valedictorian no less. She met a guy who called himself Giant. Eve thought he was The Best Man for her, boy was she wrong. He was a Menace To Society who thought he had Juice, until he stole from a Hoodlum who was ruthless like The King of New York. The Morning After a huge House Party in South Central, he shows up at The Apartment like a Man of Fire with a duffle bag full of cash.

 

Sucked into the Belly of an Underworld war, Eve thought she was in the Twilight Zone when he gave her the bag and asked her to hold it until he comes back. He was now The Running Man, trying to get away from The Terminator who would not stop until Giant had Eyes Wide Shut.

 

Eve, using her Basic Instinct, realized the killers would come looking for her, so she took the money and Fled. 48 Hours later she got the news that Giant was an assailant of The Assassin. Eve escaped in Fear and became Sleepless In Seattle...

 

 

THE UNION

 

North By Northwest is where Adam and Eve went to evade The Searchers who seek to destroy them. The Air Up There was different cleaner. It Happened One Night on a train away from their Rocky pasts. When they laid eyes on eachother, it was Sudden Impact. She was the Pretty Woman, The African Queen; he was The Natural, The Right Man.

 

When he walked over and sat next to her it was Serendipity and they both knew it. The Heat was palpable-they were Made For Each Other. Adam was young with an Old School mentality. He held out his hand and introduced himself, "Hi! I'm Adam." That Set It Off-Body Heat and easy flowing conversation. Eve's looking at him thinking-he's The Marrying Kind-Adam, He Got Game, but he's not running any, he's thinking-This Foxy Brown girl can turn me into The Family Man. Both of them are Swept Away into a Love Affair. Walking in the park like Russell and Snipes in Sugar Hill, racing for rug-rats like Douglas and Stone in Basic Instinct, and now they're Bringing Up Baby.

 

They're having An Affair To Remember. They're not thinking of Trading Places with anyone. Will the fairy-tale have a happy ending...?
