She doesn’t drink, so I’m kind of at sea with what to suggest for a first date. We end up meeting at this gelato shop downtown. We hang out for a bit and chat. I ask if she wants to walk over to this book store. We walk over. We walk to the philosophy section (i’m looking for Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulation, have not been able to find it anywhere). She picks a random book in the philosophy section. Turns out its a book that has no business being there, a Brothers Grimm book. She opens it.
In the back of the book is $700 in cash.
We look around thinking, surely, we’re on camera and this is some kind of prank.
We took it. She buys the book for $6. Then we went to a concert together.
I still cannot fucking believe this just happened.
having a date and finding wads of cash some people just have it all
hell yeah lmao, the seven hundred dollar brothers grimm philosophy stash probably has a wild backstory that we’ll never know
I think you might have accidentally found money that was intended for a drug deal or something
I hope nobody dies because of it
No Country For Old Men vibes
RIP OP and their new lady friend. 😞
What’s the most, you ever lost, on a coin toss?
yuo found The Money Store
“when you come out your shit is gone, I’m in your area”
i would read the rest of this romcom screenplay
Death to America
This should be a double feature, a romcom and action thriller. Both stories happen in the same time and place, both stories hinge on the book. The action movies inciting incident is our reluctant hero not finding the money for his drop and the baddies believing he stole it.
The romcoms inciting incident is the couple finding this money, sending them off on an adventure of love.
You should be able to watch the start of both movies at the same time and have the two scenes match up.
is there going to be a second date?
Even without the cash, that sounds like a very nice date.
The closest I’ve come to “700 in the back of a book” is coming across rare/collector’s copies of books in a bookstore that were underpriced in wholesale.
I once found a first print copy of 10 Days That Shook the World from 1919 for like $5 at a used book store. Priceless. Sadly, and I will regret this for the rest of my life, I loaned it to a friend and never saw it again.
incredible, that’s some bananafeels shit
i’d say you’re correctly riding the wave
Yo it’s a siiiign marry her!
statistically you should continue the relationship
Breaking Bad rebooted into a rom-com that starts with a meet-cute.
no more half kisses walter
Time travelers meddling with your date. Beware!
Convince them that the money is cursed unless you use it to do praxis together. Getting free stuff without strings attached usually takes a turn for the worse in Grimm stories.
op and his date are gonna get their stomachs filled with stones and thrown in the river if they dont spend that money wisely
It’s a match made in heaven
Gonna be a Grimm story for the guy that left it there for someone.
