Every day he would open palm slam Die Hard into his VCR and pretend to be Bruce Willis, saying all his lines with perfect timing. Then he'd go outside and talk shit to everyone he met. He counted it as a victory the first time he did it without stuttering. After getting punched in the mouth he started incorporating weightlifting into his routine, making his morning "workout" into an actual workout. He got a job as a bouncer at a titty bar and spent his first paycheck on more movies. On the advice of his colleagues, he further modified his routine, watching Army of Darkness on "leg day."

The robbers were arrested, as was the owner, who had a warrant out for tax evasion. The bar was shut down. Nevertheless, one of the strippers expressed her utmost gratitude to Duke for saving her life. This was his first real conversation with a girl at age 25.
