Role Models

RH rolls up to the motel in his faded red pickup truck, pulling into a space in the gravel parking lot. SK and JB invite him into their room to watch a Japanese kaiju anime video under the pretense that they're getting into character for upcoming roles.

RH's mother confronts her tenant next door, demanding a letter of intent. On the TV set in the living room is the making of footage from a Crest toothpaste commercial. In it, an actor in a giant ape costume rampages through a miniature mock downtown skyscraper set.
