Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Do we ever get what we want? Brian sells mattresses in a warehouse store; his father and older brothers have material success. Wanting a child, he has applied to adopt a baby from China. A man who appears to be homeless seems to be stalking Brian with violent intent. He meets Happy, the daughter of a rich, quirky customer. She doesn't stick to anything, but she and Brian hit it off, except for her vomiting when she learns about his adoption idea. He wants her to meet his family, and there's a call about the adoption. What will Happy do?

Did you know women are 20 times more likely to be depressed than men? Maybe more, can't remember the exact number - it's a lot more. Brian: That's good... for men. Larry Arbogast: Not really, when you think about it heterosexually. See more » |
