Just like any normal man does, Bob Grenier gets hungry. He stands with his new friend Tran. They look out the hotel window.
Bob: I'm hungry, Where's a good place to eat?
Tran begins to speak but Bob quickly interrupts him.
Bob: No funky shit Tran, I just want noodles and maybe some rice. No fish guts in my soup. No hacking the shells off the backs of turtles and drinking the blood.
Tran: We go my cousins restaurant. Ox testicle this big!
He smiles and makes a motion with his hands.
Bob: Now Tran, I already told you.. I don't eat testicles!

A few moments later Bob and Tran are walking down the streets of Tapei. Bob starts to notice people whispering and taking pictures. A nice Asian man politely asks for an autograph.
Bob: It's nice here Tran. The people are nice.
Tran: You big star in East, Asia! Big big big star. Like Cheech & Chong!
People have begun to form a crowd behind Bob. They still continue whisper and take pictures.
Bob: How did I get so big in Asia?
Tran: You don't know?
Bob: Know what?
Tran: You SUPER CHAMPION ACTION MAN!
Bob: What are you talking about?
Tran grabs a magazine from a news stand close by. He thrusts it in Bob's face.
Tran: Big Star! Like Elvis!
Bob looks down at the cover of the magazine. It appears to be a comic book. Someone has used his image without permission and turned Bob into a super hero. He wears a green cape and cowl. His name is "Super Champion Action Man" and he does battle with Siberian tigers, Mythological ogres, UFOs and Big Foot.
Tran: You Super Champion Action Man! Cool man Like Clint Eastwood.
They go into a local shop and there is all kinds of shoddy Action Man merchandise. Anything they can plaster Bob's face on, They have. He picks up an action figure and on the box it says - Super Champion Action Man.. Now with Super Joint Smoking Action.
Bob: Tran, How long have I been Super Champion Action Man?
Tran: Like 10 year, Big Big star in Asia!
An Asian child walks up behind Grenier and asks to be picked up. Bob does and the parents snap a picture. He's being continously mobbed by people. More and more people are gathering to catch a glimpse of Super Champion Action Man. He signs a few more autographs before escaping back to his hotel room.
