00:00Oh!
00:17Damn!
00:30Can I help you?
00:32I'm looking for Perry.
00:34Oh, you know Perry?
00:36Yeah, but not too well.
00:38I'm his wife.
00:39His wife?
00:41Well, Perry's a very lucky man, if I may say.
00:45Very lucky.
00:48Harold Anderson.
00:50Helen.
00:51He's probably in the vault.
01:00Excuse me, I'm looking for Perry Gordon.
01:04Do you think it's okay if I wait in his office?
01:07Sure, that'll be fine.
01:09Oh, thank you.
01:09Hi.
01:10Oh, hey.
01:12Were you at the AA meeting last night?
01:14Yes, I saw you there.
01:15Your speech was very good.
01:17Thanks.
01:18Do you work here?
01:20Commercial and home loans, not too exciting.
01:22Just a normal guy.
01:24There's nothing wrong with normal.
01:26Do you know where Perry Gordon is?
01:27Oh, you know Perry?
01:28Well, no.
01:30He backed into my car last night.
01:31I've got an estimate for him.
01:33Could you give this to him?
01:34Sure.
01:37You have beautiful handwriting.
01:39That's the mechanic.
01:41Oh.
01:42Well, this part down here where you signed your name?
01:44Lovely.
01:46So, how long you been in the program?
01:48Program?
01:49AA.
01:51Oh.
01:52Oh, that.
01:52No, I'm not involved in the program.
01:54Perry just took me there.
01:55Oh, so he's in the program?
01:57Not that I know of.
01:58You know, this would make fantastic dinner conversation.
02:00Are you doing anything tonight?
02:01So, what were you doing there, then?
02:02Just checking it out.
02:04Have you had any chance to think about dinner yet?
02:06Oh, God.
02:07I get it.
02:08You're one of those guys that goes to AA meetings to pick up women.
02:11That's sick.
02:12How can you take advantage of people like that?
02:14Perry took me there.
02:15I had no idea what it was.
02:16How's eight?
02:17Oh, excuse me.
02:18May I?
02:18All right, here's the estimate, okay?
02:23And I hope the next time you take one of your pathetic little jaunts to AA, you drive
02:27a bit more carefully.
02:29What is she talking about?
02:30I am as confused as you are, sweetheart.
02:32Oh, come on.
02:33Look, I just put everything I had into this car.
02:36If you don't want to go through your insurance, fine.
02:38Write me a check.
02:39I'll wait.
02:40Is that where you were last night?
02:43That's what you didn't want to tell me.
02:44You were at an AA meeting?
02:46Now you know.
02:47I hope you're happy.
02:49You'll get your check.
02:50But why couldn't you tell me?
02:51Because I wasn't sure that I was strong enough to stay committed to the program, and I didn't
02:56want to disappoint you if I dropped out.
02:59Oh, baby.
02:59I had no idea.
03:01It's been tough, but thank God.
03:04So far, so good.
03:05It's such a brave thing you're doing.
03:07I can hardly believe it.
03:08One day at a time, sugar.
03:10One day at a time.
03:11I'll walk you out.
03:12You know, I love you so much.
03:13Now that I know, I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure you never take another
03:17drink for the rest of your life.
03:24That was his wife?
03:26Yeah.
03:27Right.
03:28He's married, and he's going to AA meetings to pick up women?
03:31What a humongous sleazebag.
03:33Are you married?
03:34Nope.
03:35So I guess that means we're on for dinner?
03:38No.
03:40Nice meeting you.
03:43What planet are you from?
03:54What do you mean?
03:55Well, I guess you really want to go out with me.
03:57I say no, and you're like, okay, and that's that.
03:59I mean, put a little effort into it, why don't you?
04:01Are you asking me out?
04:03No.
04:03No, I'm not asking you out.
04:05Why would you think that?
04:05If I was asking a man out, he'd know it.
04:08Right.
04:09Yeah.
04:10You know, I have a feeling that you're not what you appear to be.
04:15You smell nice.
04:18Thanks.
04:19Something new.
04:19Just bought it today.
04:21Oh, God.
04:23Why was it never this complicated before?
04:25Oh, I know why.
04:27Because before, by now, I'd already be drunk and in bed with the guy.
04:29How's six o'clock?
04:32Oh, damn it.
04:33Fine.
04:33Anything.
04:35Seven.
04:36Six-forty-five?
04:37Fine.
04:38Tell me something about yourself.
04:57My name is Harold Anderson.
05:00I work in a bank.
05:02And?
05:04More.
05:05I've never met a man that talks less about himself.
05:09Where were you born?
05:11My turn to ask a question.
05:13What do you do for a living?
05:15Well, I worked in a guitar shop for a long time, but when I got sober, I realized I had
05:20to get out of there.
05:20You know, too many negative influences.
05:23Uh-huh.
05:23Such as?
05:25Well, musicians, for one.
05:27Uh-huh.
05:27And I think there was a sign over the door that said, come in, pick up the nearest guitar
05:31and play the beginning of Stairway to Heaven as badly as you can.
05:35Uh-huh.
05:35I mean, I was close to going postal.
05:38So what are you doing now?
05:40Well, don't laugh, but I'm working as a real estate agent.
05:45Uh-huh.
05:47Yeah.
05:47Yeah, a friend of mine has an office, and she helped me study for my license, so now
05:52I'm out there trying to sell houses.
05:54Uh-huh.
05:54Uh-huh.
05:55How's it going?
05:56I guess it's okay, but I'm like six weeks into it and come to find out that you don't
06:00get paid until you sell something, which is like, oh, great.
06:07So what exactly is your mission?
06:10I'm sorry?
06:11Your mission in life.
06:12Like, my mission is to get to know myself so that I can actually end up focusing less
06:18on myself and more on others.
06:20I think.
06:21I believe I was put here on Earth to have a child.
06:26Wow.
06:28I've never heard a man say that.
06:32I would love to have kids.
06:34I just hope I'm ready.
06:35Because, you know, we transfer all our dysfunction onto our kids, and I don't want to be guilty
06:39of that.
06:40I've already totally fucked up my dog.
06:42I want to have a child.
06:48That's all I want.
06:53What's that noise?
06:55Cheap sound system.
06:59I don't trust you.
07:02Why?
07:03Because all men are the same.
07:04They'll say whatever they have to to get into your pants.
07:08That's terrible.
07:09But what would it be?
07:13What?
07:13The thing I'd have to say to get into your pants.
07:16It's a little messy.
07:26How long have you been working on it?
07:28Oh, just a couple of months.
07:29But I can already tell I'm never going to stop.
07:33You know, one day I'm happy.
07:35Oh, the breakfast nook should be yellow, bright and sunny.
07:38Next minute I'm down.
07:39I repaint it blue.
07:40Oh, it was black a couple of days ago.
07:43Black breakfast nook?
07:44Yeah, it doesn't work.
07:46Trust me.
07:47Why don't you take that arch thing out altogether?
07:50That whole thing?
07:52Why not?
07:52I have a feeling what's out there is more interesting anyway.
07:55What are these?
08:06Oh.
08:08Um, part of this whole thing that I'm doing, this whole changing thing,
08:12I'm supposed to turn myself over to a higher power.
08:15My only problem is I'm having a little trouble choosing one,
08:18so I'm just covering my ass.
08:20Higher power?
08:21Yeah, God, or whatever you want to call it.
08:24I'm looking into each one until I find the one that connects with me.
08:27How will you know?
08:28I'll just know.
08:30How?
08:32Well, I'll feel something, I guess.
08:36This one looks very old.
08:38Actually, it's not old.
08:39I got this on QVC.
08:42You don't care about this.
08:44You're just tricking me.
08:46There's no way to prove that a God exists.
08:49So?
08:50So then why look?
08:51That's not the point.
08:53Then what is the point?
08:55Oh, God, I knew it.
08:56I knew this normal guy, normal life thing had a big catch.
09:01Harold, please.
09:02Harold, I have to stop.
09:04Okay.
09:05Okay.
09:05No, I can't do this.
09:07Part of this whole thing, this whole thing about me changing my life and living by a different
09:17set of rules is, you're going to laugh, but I've actually decided I'm not going to
09:22have sex until I get married.
09:24Sorry?
09:25You see, I am finally free not to have to have sex.
09:30Do you have any water?
09:31Never mind.
09:32I'll help myself.
