So, it turns out my friend Ashley, who you might remember as my fellow Kylie pilgrimager, knows a guy who knows a girl who is working on the production of the cinematic adaptation of Elmore Leonard's crime novel "Freaky Deaky", set to star my official Cinematic Crush Sienna Miller, a production taking place as we speak in, ahem, Detroit, a cool 283 miles from Chicago - a mere Megabus ride away.
Clearly, this is the only chance I will ever have to re-enact one of my all-time favorite movie scenes, a scene from, ahem, an Elmore Leonard adapted movie, making like George Clooney in "Out of Sight" tracking down JLo for a drink at that fancy-schmancy hotel bar overlooking the snow-infused sorta bright lights of The Motor City.
I'll search every bar in Detroit and eventually find Sienna Miller sitting beside a rain-pelted window, alone, cooly smoking a cigarette, sipping at a whiskey, and I'll stroll up in my custom made Zeglio suit, and say, "Can I buy you a drink?" At this point one of two things will occur.
1.) Sienna will mace my eyes and run away, at which point I will vow never to wash my eyes again.
...or...
2.) Sienna and I will have this conversation.
Sienna: "So long as you don't mind if I smoke."
Nick: "Mind? I encourage it."
Sienna: "You want one?" (Offers a cigarette.)
Nick: "No, no, no, I don't smoke."
Sienna: "But you're encouraging me to smoke? That doesn't make any bloody sense."
Nick: "I'm an enigma."
Sienna: "Yeah. I don't think so."
Nick: "Are you even allowed to smoke in here?"
Sienna: "They asked me to stop."
Nick: "What did you do?"
Sienna: "Blew smoke in their face."
Nick: "Sigh..."
Sienna: "Did you just say 'sigh' out loud?"
Nick: "Yes?"
Sienna: "You're having a cigarette or we don't have a drink."
Nick: "Okay, okay, okay!"
-He sits down, she hands him a cigarette and lights it. He takes a drag. Hacking coughs ensue.
Sienna: "Whiskey?" (Offering her glass.)
Nick: "What is it?"
Sienna: "Stagg. 141 Proof."
Nick: "Are you serious?"
Sienna: "This is my second."
Nick: "How is that even possible?!"
Sienna: "You're a bit daft, aren't you?"
Nick: "I was thinking something more along the line of......lower proof."
Sienna: "Weak toleranced Americans. You're all the same."
Nick: "No, no, no!!! We're not!!! I swear!!! I can handle it!!!"
-She slides the glass across the table to him. He takes a drink. Hacking coughs ensue. She grins.
Sienna: "This is going to be the night of your life."
-Nick passes out.

Does this mean you're not going to Detroit?
ReplyDelete"I can't go to the bar because I've already looked back on it in my memory, and I didn't have a good time."
Castor: The greatest autospy of all time. I mean, what a way to go out.
ReplyDeleteAshley: I might still go, but I'd rather she not take out a restraining order against me.
I wanna meet her now the same way I want to met Robert Pattinson or Colin Farrell: because of the drinking.
ReplyDeleteI suppose in some ways this post makes me seem like alcoholic. Which I'm not. Not entirely. But yeah, one whiskey with Sienna, that's the dream, man.
