It’s 6 o’clock and Brian is driving his motorcycle in Los Angeles. He’s cruising down Market Street and stops at a red light. A shiny Lamborghini pulls up next to him. The driver, wearing a black cap and dark sunglasses, glances at Brian. Brian looks back and realizes—it’s a famous actor, Jack Parker! Jack smirks and says, “When the light turns green, let’s race.” Brian grins, “Sure thing, let’s do it!” Jack replies, “I’m gonna leave you in the dust, buddy!” Brian answers, “Dream on! I’ll beat you and your fancy car.” They both rev their engines while waiting. Suddenly, the light turns green. They shoot forward at top speed! Jack is ahead. But suddenly, flashing police lights appear behind Jack—it’s the cops! They pull Jack over. Brian zooms past, laughing, shouting, “Better luck next time!” Brian wins the race!
