MTL - Lisko’s American Life-Chapter 8 chance encounter
Although he is now wealthy, carefree, and has status, occasionally he still feels lonely by himself.
The next day, Lisko got up, printed and packed up the manuscript, bound it in a kraft paper bag, and drove to Garrison.
Parking the pickup at the door of the tavern, Lisko put the cowhide bag into the mailbox on the side of the road and pushed open the door of the tavern.
The town life here is always slow. Just after the morning, there were already drunkards sitting in twos and threes in the pub, some discussing the ball game on the TV on the wall, some scolding politicians, and a few wretched people. Making dirty jokes.
Maggie was wiping her glasses at the bar as always.
"Morning, Maggie."
Lisko stepped forward and hugged her, "Have you been home recently?"
Maggie took a bottle of beer from the back counter. "No, I've been separated from Beau for many years, and I think my RV is great to live in."
After Maggie and Beau separated, she bought a second-hand RV in the backyard of the tavern.
"You're not going to stay for a few days when Colt comes back?"
Lisko declined the beer handed over and poured a glass of milk from the counter.
"No, if Colt wants to accompany me, come here. I have an extra bed in my RV." Maggie smiled mischievously, "Haven't you eaten breakfast?"
Lisko had finished drinking the milk and wiped the milk stains from the corners of his mouth, "No, I got up and came to town. I went to mail a document today."
"Then I'll make you a sandwich? It's the one you liked most when you were in school." Maggie's eyes were full of doting, Lisko's mother died very early, and she often slept in Bo's house when she was a child. Eat less of Maggie's breakfast.
Maggie put down the glass and went into the room to make breakfast, while Lisko helped greet the guests at the counter.
"Mark Twain, have a drink." The town's alcoholic Herman shouted at the bar.
"Herman, you still owe five drinks." Lisko turned to look at the ledger beside the bar.
"The relief will be settled in a few days. Get me a glass first. A good day starts with whisky." Herman raised his eyebrows.
Lisko shook his head speechlessly, poured a glass of whiskey, wiped the edge of the glass, and stepped back in front of him, "I asked for it."
Herman hurriedly took it and drank most of it in one gulp, "Thank you, I think I'm feeling a lot better with my hangover now. I don't know who bumped me into the curb yesterday, but it froze me so badly this morning."
Herman is also a good cowboy in middle age. When he was old and unmarried, he began to drink heavily. He got a disability certificate from someone. He received a subsidy from the continent every month. On the way, many such drunks and homeless people in the United States wake up from nowhere every day.
Maggie quickly made the sandwich, Lisko poured another glass of milk, found a seat and sat down, took a bite and the taste was still in memory, and gave a thumbs up in Maggie's direction.
The door of the tavern was pushed open, and a blonde girl walked in. Her bumpy figure caught everyone's attention. The drunkards in the tavern blew their whistle one after another. .
"Have a glass of whisky."
Sitting on her seat, she touched her long curly hair. She wore a plaid jacket and tight jeans underneath, and her wheat-colored skin gleamed in the light.
Although it looks a little immature, Lisko recognized this **** stunner at a glance, the heroine of "Transformers" Megan Fox.
Li Ke went to search for her information after watching "Transformers" back then. She is only about 20 years old this year, and she has not yet played the role that made her popular. Now she should still be a third-rate actor.
At that time, Lisko was attracted by her when he watched "Transformers". The motorcycle girl she played was wearing denim shorts, showing a small waist and a hip, and opening the front cover of the car in the dusky sunset to check the clip, and was also caught Lisko took a screenshot and made a computer screen display. Just don't know why she should be working hard in Hollywood is now in the small town of Garrison.
Lisko wiped his mouth after eating the sandwich, returned the milk glass to Maggie, took out a Franklin, and handed it to Maggie, "I'll take this one."
He pointed to Meghan who was drinking, and Maggie took the money with a smile on her face.
Megan raised her head and glanced at this handsome and delicate mixed-race guy. His temperament was incompatible with this tavern.
"Meghan Fox." She raised her glass and shook it in salute.
Lisko took the beer that Maggie brought over and touched the glass, "I know you, "Hope and Faith", you are an actor."
Meghan was a little surprised. She didn't expect someone to recognize her, an unknown third-rate actor.
"And "Holiday in the Sun" and "The Prom Queen"" Lisko mentioned two more films she participated in.
"God, how do you know, I just played a small role without a name."
"You know, you're so charming. I saw you at a glance in the film. I think you're more attractive than the main character. You will definitely become popular in the future." Lisko's rainbow farts came one after another.
Megan has always been in a low mood and began to overflow. She did not expect that she would be noticed as a small supporting role. Recently, her acting career has been getting bleak. She is still considering whether to give up acting and return to her own. In the model industry of the old line.
"But you're supposed to shine in Hollywood, how come you're in Garrison? Are you filming around here?"
Lisko asked suspiciously,
Talking about this, Meghan felt a little depressed, "I've been walking around recently, my aunt lives here, I came here to relax, my career has not been going well recently, and there is no company looking for me to film, I may have to go back and continue model."
Lisko picked up the bottle and clinked glasses with her, "Don't be discouraged, I'm sure you'll have a chance soon."
Megan only thought that he was comforting herself, and accepted his encouragement a little happily. Only Lisko knew that soon the "Transformers" crew would notice her and ask her to play, and then she would walk into everyone. 's sight, bright red.
"My name is Lisko, I am a farmer, are you going to visit my farm?" Lisko sent an invitation.
Meghan thought for a while, looked at Lisko's delicate face carefully, and felt a little throbbing at him, "Okay, I just happen to have nothing else to do."
Lisko said goodbye to Maggie and walked out of the tavern with Meghan in a joke.
The pickup quickly drove back to the ranch. Lisko parked the car in the garage and took Megan back to the villa.
During the conversation on the road, I learned that Meghan's uncle opened a farm machinery shop in Garrison. Lisko knew as soon as he heard that the ranch had just opened and the seeds were bought at his home. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
"What to drink? Water? Or coffee?" Liscola opened the refrigerator.
Meghan looked around. Although it was a ranch villa, the decoration was also very delicate. There were some Chinese ink paintings on the walls, and the kitchen utensils were also very famous and expensive brands.
"coffee."
Meghan touched the fabric of the sofa, "Are you really a farmer? Farmers can't earn so much money to buy these expensive decorations." The expensive price of the home is found.
Lisko watched her look around, "I'm still a writer."
Megan thought about Lisko's somewhat familiar name, and suddenly looked at him in surprise, "Are you that Lisko? The one nominated by Nobel?"
Writers and entertainment circles have always been deeply involved. Lisko sold the film and television rights of two books to Hollywood Warners for adaptation. I heard that Warners invested a total of 30 million US dollars in the filming. However, Lisko didn't pay attention after selling the copyright, and Megan must have heard of it in the entertainment industry.
"Yes, but Nobel failed." Lisko handed her the ground coffee, "Try it, this is German Grant coffee from a friend."
Megan tasted it shallowly, "Cappuccino, it's very mellow."
Lisko smiled and drank a little.
"I heard that your two books have been completed, and the heroines are both starring Jennifer Connelly."
"I haven't paid attention to this issue. The best way to express a work is in words. Adapting it into a film may expand its influence and lose the charm of words."
Megan looked at Lisko, a great writer in his twenties. He was outstanding in appearance, restrained and rich, and his literati temperament was also very attractive.
