I was at a local, L.A. movie palace,watching The Equalizer starring America's Brother- Denzel Washington. I'm such a fan, I stayed through the entire end credits,enjoying Eminem's latest single,Guts Over Fear.Anyway,the film ended with the Sony tag-line,"Be Moved" and the lights go up. I heard a curious,Southern voice state,"So, how was the film?" I really didn't hear him,as I was gathering my items from the mall.
He repeated his question,continuing a tad confused "You've spent two hours watching me,and you don't know who I am? " I then hear a lady shout from the back, "Fuck, that's Denzel!"
I look over and see the two time Oscar winner,dressed not unlike- as he was in the film: A blue dress shirt, grey dress pants,with a small bag of items of his own,under his arm.
The lady then begs Lincoln Rhyme for an autograph.He quickly looks at his watch,and simply states "I can't. Sorry,my family." As the lady audible sighs over this development, The Man on Fire turned back to me, and for the third time and restated "So, how was the film?"
"WHO'S THE BOSS, WHO'S THE BOSS, WHO'S THE BOSS!!!"-Denzel from Man on Fire: 2004.
I leaped to my feet, startling the both of us for a moment. I then demanded, "IT WAS GREAT!" The Mighty Quinn looks fairly pleased with response,nods happily. He then cocked his head & answered "Great,huh?" I then get kind of nervous,like I had sold out and revise my answer,"It was VERY good."
Washington smirked and then stated- like a game show host, "Well, I have to take your first answer-Great." He then turned around,laughed triumphantly and quickly made his way to the exit.
