The 'Swift and ...' trilogy
Plural: Copies of the 'Swift and ...' trilogy
This is a movie trilogy, known as the "Swift and ..." series. It begins with the film "The Swift and the Angry," continues in "The Swift and the Deceased," and concludes with the ever-popular, "The Swift, the Slow, and the Unmoved."
It's kind of a typical "fast cars and fast women and the guys that drive them (the cars) and drive them crazy (the women)." Lots of action, barely tolerable plot, and a lot of car chase scenes means the whole series is highly popular.
Miscellaneous Item
Item cannot be auto-sold
Usable
Gives your sidekick understudy a new skill.
How Obtained
When Used
First time:
Your understudy watches the movies over and over again. (During the day, while you're working. Don't ask about continuity because you're not gonna get a good answer. Let's just say it's now next week, you had a cold and didn't do anything for a while, but that's boring, so we skipped it.) All the fancy maneuvers from the movies have become a part of your understudy's subconsciousness, and if you let them drive fast you can get places faster. (gives access to the Race car driver sidekick)
Subsequent times:
Your understudy has already watched the movies so many times all the driving scenes are completely memorized.
