Partners!

WARNING:  Some parts of this post are taken from a snippit of a previous facebook post by myself.

Marriage is much like the movie 'Lethal Weapon', being married means having a partner that always has to have your back, even if they kind of hate you right now. With Riggs and Murtaugh, it was because they were thrown together by the job; in married life, it's because you tricked somebody into thinking you were a responsible human being long enough for them to sign up with you.



Two Cops.  Glover carries a weapon...Gibson is one.  He's the only L.A. cop registered as a...LETHAL WEAPON!



I told my wife this while saying "aint that right....partner." and then made a pistol with my fingers, pointed at her and winked.

Karen said, "I'm getting too old for this S###! and then calmly walked away as a huge explosion happened behind her.

BOOM!

I've decided to write a television pilot based on a cross between a buddy cop movie and marriage.  Either the two cops are married to eachother and work together or two cops who's cases are intertwined with the daily lives of a married couple.  Either way, I'll be lazy on the title and simply call it, "PARTNERS."  Pretty sure NBC will pick it up, if not then I'll add something about Vampires and sell it to the WB.

I love 80's action movies and buddy cop flicks!  It goes back to my father letting me stay up late to watch movies like "Die Hard," "Lethal Weapon," and anything with Govorner Schwarzenegger.  I especially liked the ones with the goofy/weak sidekick and how they somehow managed to get past their differences and work together.  They did whatever it took to get the job done, even if it meant breaking the rules! 

The two cops were always mismatched and forced to work together.  Despite their differences, they exploited the best in each of them and thought outside the box.  Sometimes it led to hillarious consequences! 

My wife and I are just like the detectives in the movies.  We are different in our own ways, but we have the same job/goal.  To make the marriage work despite our differences!  Karen is a bit of an introvert, and I, an extrovert!  SUPRISE!  Karen is modest, smart and level headed.  I am not the least bit modest, not very smart (i thrive on charm and hope people overlook the smarts), and sometimes I'm impulsive.  She would be the serious, by-the-book one and I would be the shoot-from-the-hip one.  That's how our marriage works.

Whenever I put my sunglasses on
the music from CSI: Miams plays

I trust my wifes judgement and decisions.  She appreciates my wild nature.  How could she not love my charming spontaneity?  But like the movies, Karen not only goes along for the ride, but she suprises by sometimes throwing the book out the window!  I learn from her and she learns from me.

On their own the two cops couldn't get the job done but together, they can take down the Columbian Drug Lord and save the girl while destroying and entire city block.  Together my wife and I survive our marriage and raise our child while destroying an entire city block.

She's trouble and plays by her own rules.

In conclusion; my wife would be the cool one with the big gun and the tough lines.  I would be the wise-ass with the one-liners.  Together we would be......(wait for it)............PARTNERS!

All we nee is an angry police cheif yelling,"I'm sick and tired of making excuses for you two! You’re an embarrassment to the department! You're off the case and off the force. Your badges, your sunglasses, now."

PARTNERS!
