Frank is in my "an" location backyard. He is sitting at a lovely table, napkin in lap, ready for the lovely meal that he has ordered. He sips at a glass of wine, and then notices the distinctive "flip-flop" sound as the waiter comes towards him. He smiles, and picks up his chopsticks, eagerly anticipating the delicious meal. Unfortunately, the poor waiter's flip-flops catch on a small root, and he pitches forward. The COOKED RICE flies off of the waiter's tray and all over Frank! Frank looks down in anger and then back up at the waiter, who is horrified.

Frank Zappa is in the bathroom of my -an set. He has a Chinese takeaway menu in his right hand (on the left as I’m looking at him) and a giant coin in his other hand. He’s pointing at a picture of cooked rice on the menu and nodding his head manically with a big, cheesy grin. He clearly wants to order cooked rice.

I'm practicing my flips (反) in the backyard of my -an set.
My F- actor bursts through the fence door, almost knocking me over.
He's got bags of food (饣) from a local restaurant over his head and he's shouting, "The cooked rice is here!"

Location: Grandma's House (Backyard)
Actor: Phil Crimmins
Props: Menu and Giant Coin

I'm hanging out at my Grandma's house in the backyard when Phil Crimmins drops by. He's visiting from China and has stopped by to tell me of an investment opportunity. He tells me he can't lose with this endeavor and in front of me sets a menu and a giant coin that looks like a .50c piece. The menu has all different kinds of rice dishes and on the front it says "Phil's Rice Mobile". He tells me that it is his new rice truck and he has several good locations where he can park it and make a lot of money selling rice at only 50cents per bowl. I tell him I'm strapped for cash as i had to pay for my Mandarin Blueprint subscription.
