Plot: INSPIRE AN ARTIST, RUIN HIS LIFE - The peace of the mall movie theater is about to be shattered! Jack, a stagnated painter, must train new theater employee Marcus, a rage filled, motorcycle-riding martial artist. Marcus hits on Jack's actress girlfriend Sharon, and really gets the goat of comic-loving sci-fi geek, Nick. More tensions flare when Jack's boss announces a coveted career launching painting contest. Turns out that Marcus studies the art of Ninja under the diabolical, pastrami-loving Nobu. After dishing out a nasty kung fu beat down, Nobu decrees that until Marcus can demonstrate his creativity, he will never earn his black belt. With a psychotic need to prove himself boiling up, Marcus latches onto the words of his hero, zombie film maven George Romano: "Great art comes from great pain." Suddenly, Sharon and Marcus are in bed together and Jack has found some gut wrenching inspiration to paint with. Wowed by his friend's new zest for art, Nick presses Jack to begin illustrating his comic book about sexy women and swamp dwelling ape-men. This deviation from painting burns up Marcus, who believes he is establishing his legacy through Jack's art. Donning ninja garb, Marcus sets out to further "inspire" Jack. What follows is a bloody trail of betrayal, murder and maiming that only a ninja can inflict. Now, painting in a frenzy, Jack must fight not only for his art, but his life. Be ready for one shocker of an ending!

Stills Photographer: Are you drinking, no?::Bob: Am I drinking? As soon as I'm done.

Charlotte: You're probably just having a mid-life crisis. Did you buy a Porsche yet?

Bob: What are you doing?::Charlotte: My husband's a photographer, so he's here working. I wasn't doing anything so I came along.::Bob: What do you do?::Charlotte: I'm not sure yet, actually.

Bob: Can you keep a secret? I'm trying to organize a prison break. I'm looking for, like, an accomplice. We have to first get out of this bar, then the hotel, then the city, and then the country. Are you in or you out?::Charlotte: I'm in. I'll go pack my stuff.::Bob: I hope that you've had enough to drink. It's going to take courage.

Charlotte: I just don't know what I'm supposed to be.::Bob: You'll figure that out. The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.

Charlotte: I tried taking pictures, but they were so mediocre. I guess every girl goes through a photography phase. You know, horses... taking pictures of your feet.

Kelly: John, John. You are my favorite photographer.::John: Ohhh...::Kelly: No. You are. I only want you to shoot me. It's true. [both laugh] Oh my God, I have the worst B.O. right now, I'm sorry. [both laugh again]

Bob: For relaxing times, make it Suntory time.

Charlotte: That was the worst lunch.::Bob: So bad. What kind of restaurant makes you cook your own food?

[after a long speech in Japanese]::Ms. Kawasaki: He want you to turn and look in camera. Okay?::Bob: Is that all he said?

How he arrived on our shores will forever remain a mystery. We Ninjas thought that this child would be the great white Ninja of the legend. We were wrong. We were very wrong.
