Am getting to old for this
Two days till my retirement, damn I keep expecting some young hip groovy technician to come along and get partnered with me. Where upon we will initially not like each other but after several hi-jinx's adventures will ensue where we will become buddy-buddy ect and get assigned some big networking operation case. Then In the space of less than 48 hours, we'll become partners, share a family dinner, kill several people, survive a shootout in the desert, battle with helicopters and machine guns, toss hand grenades, jump off buildings, rescue my kidnapped daughter (if I had one we'll just have to borrow one), drive cars through walls, endure torture by electric shock, have a few beers and repair the engine on my boat (have got one somewhere honest) - but not in that order. Oh of course we would have to get pulled of the case and do it in our own time but that goes without saying.
It would make a great movie.
My job would be to supply the movie's center of gravity, while all the nuts and weirdo's and victims whirl around him. He's a family man, concerned about those gray hairs he sees in the mirror, not interested in taking unnecessary chances.
My partner with his wild hair, his slob clothing and his emotional misery would be the perfect counter balance. It could be a running gag in the movie that he is so suicidal he doesn't care if he lives or dies - and that would give him a definite advantage in showdown situations. We could have a scene on a rooftop with him trying to reason with a jumper, probably a accountant who's computer isn't working, he could handcuff himself to the jumper and jump off, it would be great the audience would never expect it especially if we slipped it in near the beginning.
Just think about it all you budding Richard Donner's out there.
