Q: Build a movie plot around this: Who are Rupert and Marsha obsessed with? Langford
A: Rupert Pupkin (De Niro), a stage-door autograph hound, is an aspiring, mentally-deranged stand-up comedian unsuccessfully trying to launch his career. After meeting Jerry Langford (Lewis), a successful comedian and talk show host, Rupert believes his "big break" has finally come. He attempts to book a spot on the show but is continually rebuffed by Langford's staff and finally by Langford himself. Along the way, Rupert indulges in elaborate and obsessive fantasies in which he and Langford are colleagues and friends. Hoping to impress, Rupert invites a date, Rita, to accompany him when he decides to show up uninvited at Langford's country home. When Langford returns to his house from a golfing round, he finds Rupert and Rita settling in. Angered, he launches into a furious tirade against Rupert, telling him that his act is mediocre and that he's a lunatic who'll never amount to anything. While Jerry yells at him, Rupert continues trying to stay on his good graces, until an embarrassed Rita gets Rupert to finally leave.When the straight approach does not work, Rupert hatches a kidnapping plot with the help of Masha (Sandra Bernhard), a fellow stalker similarly obsessed with Langford. As ransom, Rupert demands that he be given the opening spot on that evening's Jerry Langford Show (guest hosted by Tony Randall), and that the show be broadcast in normal fashion. The network brass, lawyers, and the FBI agree to his demands, with the understanding that Langford will be released once the show airs. Between the taping of the show and the broadcast, Masha has her "dream date" with Langford, who is duct-taped to a chair in her parents' Manhattan townhouse. Jerry convinces her to untie him and he manages to escape.Rupert's stand-up routine is well received by the audience. In his act, he describes his troubled life (from growing up in a poor neighborhood with neglectful, alcoholic parents; to getting regularly bullied and beaten up during his adolescence) while simultaneously laughing at his circumstances. Rupert...

Question: Build a movie plot around this: What percent of candidates wash out of the program? 60 percent.
Answer: A Senate Armed Services Committee interviews a candidate for the position of Secretary of the Navy. Senator Lillian DeHaven (Anne Bancroft) from Texas criticizes the Navy for not being gender-neutral. Behind the curtains, a deal is struck: If women compare favorably with men in a series of test cases, the military will integrate women fully into all branches of the Navy.The first test is the training course of the (fictional) U.S. Navy Combined Reconnaissance Team (similar to U.S. Navy SEAL BUD/S). Senator DeHaven hand-picks topographical analyst Lieutenant Jordan O'Neil (Demi Moore), because she is physically more feminine than the other candidates.To make the grade, O'Neil must survive a grueling selection program in which almost 60 percent of all candidates wash out, most before the fourth week, with the third week being particularly intensive ("hell week"). The enigmatic Command Master Chief John James Urgayle (Viggo Mortensen) runs the brutal training program that involves 20-hour days of tasks designed to wear down recruits' physical and mental strength, including pushing giant ship fenders up beach dunes, working through obstacle courses, and hauling landing rafts.Given a 30-second time allowance in an obstacle course, O'Neil demands to be held to the same standards as the male trainees. Eight weeks into the program, during SERE training, the Master Chief ties her to a chair with her hands behind her back, grabs hold of her and slams her through the door, then picking her up off the floor he repeatedly dunks her head in ice cold water in front of the other crew members. O'Neil fights back, and is successful in causing him some injury despite her immobilized arms. In so doing, she acquires respect from him, as well as from the other trainees.Navy leaders, confident that a woman would quickly drop out, become concerned. Civilian media learn of O'Neil's involvement, and she becomes a sensation known as "G.I. Jane." Soon she must contend with trumped up charges that she is a lesbian, and is...

Question: Build a movie plot around this: Whose schemes are revealed? Merteuil's.
Answer:
In 1781 Paris, the Marquise de Merteuil plots revenge against her ex-lover, the Comte de Bastide. To soothe her wounded pride, she seeks to arrange the seduction and disgrace of his virgin fiancee Cecile de Volanges, who has recently been presented to society after spending her formative years in the shelter of a convent.Merteuil calls on her sometime partner, the Vicomte de Valmont, and asks him to seduce Cecile. Valmont declines as he is currently trying to seduce Madame de Tourvel, the wife of a presiding justice who is staying with his wealthy aunt Madame de Rosemonde while her husband is away on a court case.After some persuasion, Valmont reluctantly agrees to ruin Cecile and destroy Bastide's reputation on the condition that Merteuil modify the proposal: should he successfully seduce Tourvel, Merteuil must share her bed with him. Merteuil accepts, but asks that Valmont furnish written proof of the liaison.While visiting Rosemonde's country estate, Valmont attempts to attract Tourvel's attention only to have his advances rebuffed. Valmont then instructs his page to seduce Tourvel's maid and gain access to her private correspondence.Upon learning that Cecile's mother, Madame de Volanges, has warned Tourvel of his untrustworthy nature, Valmont resolves to seduce Cecile as revenge for her mother's denunciation.Meanwhile, Cecile develops a relationship with her music teacher Raphael Danceny, unaware that Merteuil introduced him to Cecile knowing that Danceny came from a poor background and therefore does not qualify in the eyes of her mother as a potential suitor.Valmont's seduction of Cecile is rapid and unsubtle: After gaining access to her bedchamber on a false pretense, he forces himself upon her as she pleads with him to leave. On the pretext of illness Cecile remains locked in her chambers, refusing all visitors. A concerned Madame de Volanges calls upon Merteuil to speak to her. Cecile, naively assuming that Merteuil has her best interests at heart, confides in her. Merteuil advises...
