BOILED PLOT #5
Saved by Michael

A mad scientist who has their mother's drugs and a lot of loneliness,
a pool hustler who has long legs and a motorcycle,
a thinly-disguised version of the author who has a generous heart,
and an actor who has a nasty scar, a famous blue raincoat, and an open door policy
go camping and have a yard sale
in this satire/gangster movie/buddy movie
set in a huge cathedral, an all-night diner, and a house for sale.
