A week later, the school scenes were completely wrapped up, and the crew began shooting elsewhere.

Wow. WOW. Susan Sarandon came up to Eric, outstretched her hands and squeezed his face as she exclaimed: You look exactly like my husband.

Ha, ha.

Thats so strange.

Yeah, really strange. Eric agreed.

What exactly is going on ? Susan said.

At this time, looking at the monitor, Penny Marshall shouted: Cut ! Eric, you laughed again, this is the fifth time already, the fifth time ! Cant you restrain yourself ?!

People often labeled directors as being bad tempered, but it was to be expected. Every time actors screwed up, they wasted time and money, no matter how good-tempered one was, one would definitely be angry, let alone those whose fuse were visibly shorter.

In this case, Eric could only apologize again and again: Im sorry Penny, I promise it wont happen again.

Penny Marshall rolled her eyes superciliously, it wasnt the first time Eric had guaranteed that.

Everyone in place, get ready to try again.

Susan Sarandon who was next to Eric said: Eric, the next time I squeeze your face, try to not focus on me.

Yes, Ms. Sarandon, Ill try.

This passage wasnt even that funny, but Eric didnt know why he would just start laughing every time.

When they started shooting again, he tried Susan Sarandons suggestion, and although he came close to bursting out loud many times, he restrained himself and they finally wrapped it at the sixth shot.

During the break, Eric walked towards the woman and said: Ms. Sarandon, thank you for before.

It was nothing, Eric. Just Susan is fine. Youre really talented you know, Ive never seen a first timer act like you do.

Oh, thank you very much. Uhm, Susan, can I ask you a question ?

Yes ?

Eric said: Its like this, Susan your body is in an amazing shape, how do you maintain it ?

Oh wow, Eric, are you hitting on me ? Susan raised her eyebrows and smiled as she asked.

Eric noted her meaningful expression and was reminded that sometimes, in Hollywood, older female celebrities would look for younger boyfriends. It wasnt rare for even sixty-year-old women to try to get their hands on 30 year-old youths.

No, Susan, actually my girlfriend has been trying to lose weight recently, so I was thinking on getting some advice from you.

Oh, I see, losing weight is indeed not an easy thing. I happen to know a good fitness consultant in Beverly Hills, she opened a womens fitness club, and used to be an excellent nutritionist. You can bring your girlfriend there to get some advice, she will give her a reasonable weight-loss program that shell have to follow.

Well, could you give me the address ?

Sure, no problem. Susan Sarandon asked her assistant to bring a pen and a piece of paper, she then quickly wrote a memo and handed it to Eric, who received it, thanked her, and turned around to leave.

Just as he went back to the resting area and was about to sit down, Drew hastily pulled his chair away mischievously as she asked: Hey, Eric, what did Susan just write you ? Is it the address for a date ?

Eric noticed that Drew had become cheekier and cheekier recently, he said: It is indeed, looks like youre really perceptive for a thirteen-year-old girl.

Ha! Drew chuckled loudly, she was initially joking around, but Erics sarcastic comment got on her nerves, so she said: I heard you grew up without a mother, did you develop an Oedipus complex ?

Obviously, Eric had some understanding of Drews family situation.

Hey, Drew, lets not bring out that subject.

Drew thought that he got angry because she mentioned his mother, so she stuck her tongue out.

Eric, Ill call it a day, but you have to invite me to dinner, ok ?

Eric shook his head: Ill have to ask Annie first.

That supersized girl again ! Are you planning on adopting that T-Rex or what ?!

Eric was surprised, did this era really start using dinosaurs slang ?(TL: dinosaur girl is slang for ugly girl in China.)

Tyrannosaurus Rex ? Drew, dont you think speaking about her like that in front of me is inappropriate ? If you were a man, I wouldve beaten you up.

Dont think I dont know that the only reason she got her role, was because James was giving you face since you had taken a liking to her. But with that fattys pride, she wont become your official girlfriend until the end of the filming. Ha! What a hypocritical woman.

Drew. Erics expression became solemn: If you say anything like that again, I wont care about you anymore.

Alright, alright. Drew raised her hands in surrender: After we eat we could go to a place and talk about that book you wrote,Jurassic Park.Its really great, it turned me into Mr. Eric Williams fan.

Eric said: Stop it, Drew, will your mother even agree to that ?

That woman ? Drew snorted with disgust: As long as she gets her check, she couldnt care less about me.

It seemed like Drews prejudices about her mother had penetrated deep into her bones. Its no wonder she cut all ties with her family once she turned sixteen in the past.

Today, Eric had shot many scenes, and even for his young body, that was a lot.

After they called it a day, he tiredly walked towards the parking lot, but soon found out that Drew was on his heels.

Hey, Eric, you promised youd buy me dinner, youre not allowed to slip away.

Eric stopped, then said: Drew, dont be unreasonable, when did I promise you ? Go back quickly.

No. Drew hurriedly grabbed Erics arm, as her arrogant expression turned into a pitiful one: I have already sent away my assistants, are you gonna let a little girl like me go home alone, what if some bad people corner me and I get raped or killed ?

Eric had developed immunity when it came to Drews lightning-changes in expression, unmoved, he said: No, you go home alone. And hurry, its been a hard day, I want to go back to rest.

Drew realized that her plan had failed and so she raised her hands and messed up her hair, ripped off her own small vest and gently scratched her skin as red marks started to appear. She then looked at Eric with her eyes blinking with tears as she stated: If you dont agree, Ill sit on the floor and shout for help. Lets see how the L.A.P.D deals with you then.

Eric touched his forehead as his temples were threatening to burst.

Amitabha, how did I manage to meet a goblin right now, Buddha are you testing me ?

Bang

Eric gloomily shut his door and started his car as he asked Drew who had already called shotgun: Well, you win Drew so, where to ?

Mastros, I want to eat steak.

Aye aye captain, so wheres that ?

Drew first gave Eric a look of contempt before excitedly saying: Then Ill drive ?

Not a chance, I dont want any trouble, hurry and spit the address out or Ill just randomly pick one.

Drew pursed her lips as she unwillingly told him, and Eric started to drive.
