Allen Kincade is interviewing Rick and Cliff on the set of Bounty Law, getting to the bottom of just what a stunt double does for an audience hungry for behind-the-scenes information.
Allen Kincade
So, Rick... uh, explain to the audience exactly what it is a stunt double does.
Rick Dalton
Well, actors are required to do a... a lot of dangerous stuff. Say Jake Cahill gets shot off his horse. Now, can I fall off a horse? Yes, I can. Yes, I have.
[All three men chuckle]
But say I fall off wrong and I sprain my wrist or twist my ankle. Now, that can put an undue burden on the production because now maybe I can't work for a week. So Cliff here is meant to help carry the load.
Allen Kincade
Is that, uh... how you'd describe your job, Cliff?
Cliff Booth
What, carrying his load? Yeah, that's about right.
Clip 2
Bruce Lee. He's a legend. The ultimate hardman, perhaps. But not to Cliff. No. To Cliff, Bruce Lee is nothing more than a stain on the seat of Cassius Clay's trunks.
Cliff
Look, man... I don't want any trouble. I'm just here to do a job.
Bruce Lee
But you're laughing at what I'm saying. But I'm not saying anything funny so what do you think is so funny?
Cliff
What I think is... you're a little man with a big mouth and a big chip. And I think you should be embarrassed to suggest you'd be anything more than a stain on the seat of Cassius Clay's trunks.
Bruce Lee
Brother, you're the one with the big mouth. And I would really enjoy closing it. Especially in front of all my friends. But my hands are registered as lethal weapons. That means... we get into a fight, I accidentally kill you... I go to jail.
Cliff
Anybody accidentally kills anybody in a fight; they go to jail. It's called manslaughter. And I think all that lethal weapon horsesh*t is just an excuse so you dancers never have to get in a real fight.
Clip 3
The fight is over. Because Janet has called a halt to proceedings. Bruce Lee is bruised and battered. Cliff is apologetic.
Cliff
Uh, you're right, Janet. I'm sorry about that.
Janet
Don't fu*king Janet me, you pr**k!
Randy
Hey! What's up, babe?
Janet
What's up, Randy is that your loser, a**hole, wife-killing buddy boy here was beating the sh*t out of Bruce.
Randy
What?!
Cliff
Hey, Randy.
Randy
Cliff... what the fu*k, man?
Bruce Lee
Let me just say... nobody beat the sh*t out of Bruce. It was a friendly contest. He barely touched me.
Cliff
I think that dent in the car says something different.
[JANET notices the man-shaped dent in the side of her car]
Janet
OH... MY... GOD! WHAT THE FU*K DID YOU DO TO MY CAR?
Randy
What the fu*k did you do to her car?
Cliff
[Pointing at BRUCE LEE]
I threw this little pr**k into it but I did not know it was her car.
Clip 4
Cliff has finally allowed himself to drive the mesmerising Pu**y home. No. I'm not being chauvinistic. That's her name. Like the cat. What kind of a man do you think I am?!
Gypsy
Welcome to our community.
Cliff
Thanks for having me.
Gypsy
And thank you for giving our precious Pu**y a ride home.
Cliff
Think nothing of it.
Gypsy
We love Pu**y.
Cliff
[Laughs]
Yes, we do.
Clip 5
Following Rick's unexpected success in the Spaghetti Western genre, he and Cliff must go their separate ways; a fact reiterated by the voice-over guy!
Narrator
Both men know once the plane touches down in El Segundo, it'll be the end of an era for both of 'em. And when you come to the end of the line with a buddy who is more than a brother and a little less than a wife, getting blind drunk together is really the only way to say farewell.
Clip 6
Katie, Sadie and Tex have broken into Rick's Hollywood Hills mansion in a clear case of mistaken identity. Something tells me that this little scenario isn't going to end well for our cult members.
Cliff
Oh, I know you. I know all three of you! Yeah, Spahn Ranch! Spahn Ranch, yeah! Woo!
[Turns to KATIE]
I don't know your name, but I remember that hair.
[Turns to SADIE]
And you, I remember your white little face.
[Turns to TEX]
And you were on a horsey! Yeah... you are?
Tex
I'm the Devil. And I'm here to do the Devil's business.
Cliff
...Nah, it was dumber than that. Something like Rex.
