| MADAMA
BUTTERFLY |
Benjamin
Franklin Pinkerton, a young U.S. Navy lieutenant stationed
in Japan, has arranged with Goro, a marriage broker, to
acquire a fifteen-year-old Japanese bride, Cio-Cio-San (Madama
Butterfly). Pinkerton takes a 999-year lease on a home overlooking
Nagasaki harbor; this lease, as well as his marriage, can
conveniently be cancelled on a month’s notice. Sharpless,
the American Consul and a friend of Pinkerton’s, arrives
to witness the wedding. He warns Pinkerton not to treat
the marriage lightly, as his bride-to-be is truly in love
with him. Though Pinkerton claims to be infatuated with
Butterfly, he proposes a toast to the American woman he
will one day wed. Butterfly arrives for her wedding. She
tells Sharpless that her family was once wealthy, but hard
times forced her to become a geisha. After she admits that
her father is dead, Goro tells Pinkerton that he committed
ritual suicide at the Mikado’s command. Butterfly’s
relatives arrive, and the wedding proceeds. The festivities
are interrupted as the Bonze, Butterfly’s uncle and
a Buddhist priest, enters to denounce her for forsaking
their ancestral religion. Pinkerton angrily orders the guests
to leave. He comforts that distraught Butterfly, and the
newlyweds proclaim their love.

struggle with the sometimes fine line between right and
wrong.
The opening scene shows two men sitting in a parked car

and runs off.

Jimmy
and Paul (Willis and Morgan), two suspended cops working
for the NYPD, are celebrating their ninth year as partners.
Jimmy's daughter Ava (Michelle Trachtenberg) is getting
married, and the price for the wedding is close to fifty
thousand dollars. Paul is worried that his wife is cheating
on him, so he sets up a video camera in a teddy bear. While
Jimmy is selling a 1952 Andy Pafko baseball card to pay
for the wedding, Paul is calling his wife. However, Jimmy
is robbed by Dave (Sean William Scott), who steals his card
and Paul's favorite gun. They find out that Dave is going
to rob a house that night, so they stake out the house to
retrieve the card and gun. Jimmy arrests Dave and discovers
he has sold the card and gun for drugs.
