Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Fletcher Munson is a lethargic, passive worker for a Scientology-like self-help corporation called Eventualism. After the death of a colleague, he is promoted to the job of writing speeches for T. Azimuth Schwitters, the founder and head of the group. He uses this as an excuse to be emotionally and romantically distant from his wife, who, he discovers, is having an affair with his doppelganger, a dentist named Dr. Jeffrey Korchek. As Munson fumbles with the speech and Korchek becomes obsessed with a new patient, a psychotic exterminator named Elmo Oxygen goes around the town seducing lonely wives and taking photographs of his genitals.

Fletcher Munson:
Hello! Neighbor: Hello. Fletcher Munson: How are you? Neighbor: Fine. Fletcher Munson: Is your wife coming over tonight? Because her big ass always leaves me satisfied. Neighbor: Nice of you to mention her. She enjoys sex with you much more than she does with me. Fletcher Munson: I'm sure she says that to all the men in the neighborhood. Neighbor: You may be right about that one. Fletcher Munson: I'll see you later. Neighbor: Okay. See more » |
