Help with writing a domestic contract? (Just between me and my bro, nothing extremely serious)?

Hey everyone, my brother and I agreed if I gave him ten bucks he would help me with my film project - that's acting, maybe make-up and some camera work.

So I need help writing a contract so once he signs it, I give him the ten bucks and he's locked in.

My brother can be a double crosser so I need some sort of power over him so I can sue him (or be subject to some form of harsh punishment like 100 hours community service... though I would like money :D) if he receives the ten dollars and doesn't end up helping me... Yeah, he's that untrustworthy.

I need the contract to basically state that he needs to do everything I ask of him (in regards with the filming project) for no more than 30 days, at which time the contract would be invalid. Also he may not give me back the ten dollars after receiving it in exchange for freedom from the contract/film project unless I agree to it. Sooo basically once he signs it, he's locked in.

Also if you can think of any loop holes, please fill them up with A-grade cement, and a big sky scraper on top of it?

Thanks heaps if you answer! I really need to get an A on this project.

PS. big words would be good. He's kinda illiterate... Not dumb, but he's not a big word person either. Haha. ;)
