Actor : Jennifer Garner
Set : My high school (where I learned ENGlish)
Props : Lindsay Lohan x 2 Twins from The Parent Trap, Samurai Sword & Gandalf's staff.
It was the year 1944 when my high school became a refuge for civilians during the Japanese Occupation.
To cope with increasing number of refugees, Jennifer Garner was asked to find a new water source. She and the twins went around the school to scourge for new sources of water. The twins carried a samurai sword and Gandalf's staff, just in case.
They went to an abandoned classroom in the basement. Twin 1 used her samurai sword to clear out overgrown vegetation around the area and Twin 2 used the staff to prod at a vague structure in the middle of the room.
It was an ancient water well.
Jennifer, pleasantly surprised, then said "Well well well. What do we have here?"Mandarin Blueprint

I used my 廾 (bill gates) and 一 (razor Blade) props for this one.
Bill gates is digging a hole for a Well in the living room of my (e)ng) home using a giant razor blade. Ji actress comes in saying "well well well, what are you doing here"? Bill stops digging, rests the giant Razor blade onto his knees to explain that he is digging a well.
End.

I also chose to use two props here.. instead of three :) I wanted something to keep my brain from confusing the two final props as they look similar enough that I needed to have a movie that helped me remember them as separately identifyable but together in a scene.

Janel Jackson (ji-) is auditorium (3rd) at the MSU Engineering Building dozing off from a boring Chemistry 141 lecture when she heard a thud sound coming from under her seat. She looks down a small there are the Ninja Turtles asking for a favor. Janet we want you to be our new girl; April is old and boring. Janet jumps into action tossing two ninja stars (二) at Raphael, parrying with Leonardo with her Samurai sword (丿) and clashing wood with Donatello using her Monkey King Staff (丨). They all jump into the sewer WELL and go fight crime.
