Chapter 676: Pursuit
Crime? biography? Fashion blockbuster? comedy?
Obviously, when the audience walked into the Chinese Theater to enjoy "Cat and Mouse Game", they did not expect this scene and could not even accurately describe the type of movie.
But, this is not important -
Steven Spielberg's narrative and progression are smooth and smooth, and his rhythm control is top-notch, firmly grabbing the audience's attention and entering the story .
When the audience watched Little Frank make the crying Brenda regain her smile with just a few words, they seemed to be immersed in Little Frank's charm, and what happened next became natural.
Not only did Brenda quickly check the status of little Frank's friends, she even proactively explained to little Frank how to read medical records.
Looking at Brenda with a smile on her face, another idea came to Frank’s head:
“Brenda, do you know the hospital is recruiting people?”
< br>"I'm not sure. What do you want to do?"
"I'm a doctor."
Fake degrees, Harvard Medical School.
Fake resume, Children's Hospital of Southern California.
For little Frank, it was easy, so the idle little Frank found a new career:
Doctor Frank Connors.
The doctor's life progressed more smoothly than expected. Although he encountered some challenges, little Frank still relied on his wit to get through.
At the same time, there are still beauties throwing themselves into their arms. Little Frank and nurse Brenda have a sweet love relationship, and life seems to be back on track again.
Everything was so happy and beautiful that little Frank had an idea -
When little Frank and Brenda were preparing to meet sincerely, they went to the last step to do those shy things. , but did not expect Brenda to collapse.
At this time, Brenda carefully told the truth. In fact, this was not her first time. Two years ago, she had aborted a child and was kicked out of the house after she recovered; She has been begging for years, but her father, a lawyer, still refuses her request to return home.
Looking at Brenda who was crying in her arms, little Frank fell into deep thought.
Not long ago, little Frank encountered a fractured patient while working the night shift in the emergency room. The whole body was covered in blood. The doctor on duty could not make a decision and could only call him.
At that time, he was almost exposed, but he just managed to stay rational and chose a random plan to get through on the pretext of testing the doctor on duty. However, afterward, he could not bear the bloody scene and vomited out bile. This made him realize that working as a doctor might not last long.
And, that's not all, there's another thing.
Little Frank stared blankly into the void, his eyes losing focus little by little. He was completely unaware of his actions, but subconsciously hugged Brenda tightly in his arms, and carefully , seriously feel the warmth and intimacy of the hug, and almost get lost in this intimacy.
Brenda also felt Little Frank's movements and was confused and fascinated.
"...If you were engaged to a doctor, would that change anything?"
In a confused, almost obsessive way, a thought deep in my mind broke free from its constraints. blurted out.
When the words came out, Brenda was stunned, and little Frank himself was slightly stunned.
Brenda, "What?"
This call brought little Frank's thoughts back to the ground -
family.
What little Frank has been running away from is the breakdown of his family, and he refuses to face reality; what little Frank has been working on is the reconciliation of his family. Even if his father cannot do it, he hopes that he can do it. .
It’s just that he doesn’t know how he should do it.
And now?
Little Frank took a deep breath, and the flash of inspiration slowly became clearer. His blue eyes revealed a touch of determination. He lowered his head to look at Brenda, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. That smile was so sincere and so gorgeous. And so happy.
“What if I go to your parents, talk to your father, and ask for his permission to allow us to get married?”
Hiccup.
Because she was too surprised and shocked, Brenda burped suddenly, looked deeply at little Frank, and was stunned.
Not only Brenda, but also in the screening room - so sudden?
But Melvin, who was immersed in the movie, didn't feel it was awkward. There seemed to be a character arc quietly connecting every move of Little Frank, seamlessly intertwined with the plot. Pushing each other forward, the audience was firmly pinned to their seats.
Accident is unexpected, but it is not inconsistent. The movie still grabs the attention of the audience, unfolds the story in two parallel lines, and enters the dual protagonist mode. Little Frank and Carl are busy in their own spaces.
Obviously, little Frank had no idea that Carl was still pursuing him.
And, it is getting closer step by step.
Carl went to Frank Sr.'s house and tried to get information from Frank Sr..
Old Frank immediately noticed the anomaly and quietly lied, claiming that his son had forged a false identity to serve in Vietnam and was fighting for the country.
But the astute Carl still captured Frank Jr.’s address in a pile of letters from Frank Sr. and sent his team to Atlanta without stopping.
It’s a pity——
It’s too late.
When Carl arrived in Atlanta, he missed Frank Jr.'s house.
Because little Frank has already set off for New Orleans with Brenda.
Sitting in front of Brenda's parents, little Frank was almost exposed.
Frank Jr. realized that he could no longer continue to play doctor. He hoped to use Brenda's father's connections to become a lawyer in New Orleans. He easily lied that he had attended the University of California before going to Harvard Medical School. Law major at Berkeley.
I never expected that Brenda’s father graduated from the University of California, Berkeley.
Now, it's embarrassing.
Little Frank is 100% sure that he was exposed under the pressure of his future father-in-law. It can even be said that he was embarrassed and embarrassed. The other party must know that he has never attended the University of California, Berkeley.
Does this mean that all of his other lies may also be exposed to the world?
Standing on the edge of the cliff, facing his future father-in-law alone in the study, little Frank once again showed his quick wit.
"Tell me the truth, Frank, what are you doing here? What are people like you and Brenda doing? If you want my blessing, if you want my daughter, I want it now Listen to you.”
Low, calm, sharp and direct.
As expected of a lawyer.
Little Frank was forced into a corner. He lowered his eyelids and fell into deep thought, his expression showing unprecedented sincerity.
"The truth is, sir..."
Is he ready to reveal the truth? Take off all disguises and show your true self without reservation?
"The fact is, I am not a doctor, nor a lawyer... nor am I a pilot..."
He.
Melvin's eyes almost fell out, the sound of gasping in his ears continued to surge, and everyone's brains went into panic as soon as there was a breathing space.
The truth has already reached our lips.
"I..." took a deep breath, "I am nothing."
Now that he has said it, the biggest secret has been revealed.
