Storyline
After a suicide attempt, Lucas, a young homeless man in New York City, is taken in by Jacques, the gruff owner of a small bar. Jacques is on his fifth or sixth heart attack, and he wants Lucas to run the bar after he dies. Jacques has many rules: don't be friendly, don't serve walk-ins, no food or flowers or candles, put the cash in the freezer every night. Lucas, on the other hand, has a good heart: he gives his money away, he talks to customers, and, when April, a young French woman who has washed out of flight-attendant school, enters the bar chilled to the bone, Lucas takes her in. If Jacques won't tolerate April, what will Lucas do? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

Here's a great line: Life's too short for lousy cars.
This is uttered while watching his old station wagon being crushed at the junkyard.
Here's a bit that's hilarious because the delivery is subtle: "It's amazing how broccoli always makes you f@rt.
In a way, broccoli is the embodiment of f@rt.
If you could capture a piece of f@rt; materialize it; I imagine it would look pretty much like broccoli.
the incarnation of f@rt." The movie kept me laughing and crying throughout.
