Synopsis: Twenty-something native Vermonter Mirabelle Buttersfield, having recently graduated from college, is finding her new life in Los Angeles not quite what she was expecting or hoping. An aspiring artist, she is barely eking out a living working as a clerk at the women's evening gloves counter at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills and thus she can barely make the payments on her massive student loans. She treats her job with a certain distance, often daydreaming as she watches the life of the rich as they shop at the store. She has made no friends, including from among her Saks colleagues, and thus lives a solitary existence, which does not assist in her dealing with her chronic clinical depression. So it is with some surprise that two men with a romantic interest in her enter her life almost simultaneously. The first is poor slacker Jeremy, who works as an amplifier salesman/font designer. Mirabelle continues dating Jeremy as only a relief to her solitary life, as Jeremy doesn't seem to u

Oh, I've got one. I've got.

Oh sh*t.

What?

It's a mint!

What?

I.. I grabbed the wrong package.

It's a mint, it's not a condom.

Do you have one?

No.

Yeah!

Do you have a.. um, baggy?

What?

If you had, like, a jiffy baggy..

.. well, I could, I could, like, use it, you know.

Oh God.

You will have to go and get one.

Okay. Cool.

Where do you keep them?

What?

The jiffy baggies? Where do you keep them?

No, a condom.

Kinda breaks the romantic mood.

Do you wanna just talk?

Yeah.

Say, 'scuse me, bro.

That was quick.

Yeah.

Where'd you get it?

Well, I was..

.. out there, and bumped on the neighbour Kenny.

I just asked him if had any, uhh..

- Oh God!

- And it was like.. that.

Do you still want to do it?

Do you want a massage?

- Ow!

- What! What happened?

Ow.

- Someone's hitting my balls.

- Someone?

Bad Sylvia!

I'm sorry. Ow, are you okay?

Yeah, it's like someone's

throwing marshmallows at me.

Ow.

Are you okay that-?

Yeah.

Does this happen often?

Yeah, every night.

Maybe we should just go home.

No.

No, stay.

Amplifiers are so underappreciated.

What?

They could be so cool, okay?

But nobody cares about design, you know.

It pisses me off.

Mac designs a cool computer,

everybody goes out and they buy it!

And.. a band! A rock n' roll band..

.. lives or dies.

Bother amplifiers.. and they're sold..

.. like fridgerators.

Hell, it's that ridiculous, come on!

The amp should have a stick!

I mean, yeah.

I mean, amp should still be like cool things!

You know, like cars.

Like swords!

Not like appliances.

And that is why.. that is why my boss,

my business is going under.

Because.. he, he, he's used his all his merch.

That's merchandise.

Maybe you should do something about it?

Huh?

He's never coming to my party again.

- Never.

- Pather's so.. fat.

- Uh, at worst.

- That was like he was going to lose his grip.

You want something?

- Seeing anything you want?

- No, thank you.

But I saw some people who were dressed good.

- Excuse me?

- Oh.. yes, I'm sorry?

Is he famous?

I'm not sure.. Extraterrestrials?

- Haven't seen that.

- Neither have I.

How'd you know who he was then?

Osmosis.

Would you like to see something?

Yeah..

Those, uh..

.. gray ones and those black ones.

Okay.

How does it work? Is it one size fits all or..?

They come in different sizes,

but mostly they'll fit anybody.

Unless.. you know.

She's..

Big.

I don't know. What do you think?

Well, it depends on the dress.

What color is the dress?

Um..

I'll just..

I'll just take the gray ones.

Safe.

Safe?

Why, do you think the black?

I like the black.

Okay. I'll take the black.

Okay.

$145.

I'll just put it in there.

Steve Martin

Stephen Glenn Martin (born August 14, 1945) is an American actor, comedian, writer, producer, playwright, author, and musician. Martin came to public notice in the 1960s as a writer for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, and later as a frequent guest on The Tonight Show. In the 1970s, Martin performed his offbeat, absurdist comedy routines before packed houses on national tours. Since the 1980s, having branched away from comedy, Martin has become a successful actor, as well as an author, playwright, pianist, and banjo player, eventually earning him an Emmy, Grammy, and American Comedy awards, among other honors. In 2004, Comedy Central ranked Martin at sixth place in a list of the 100 greatest stand-up comics. He was awarded an Honorary Academy Award at the Academy's 5th Annual Governors Awards in 2013.While he has played banjo since an early age, and included music in his comedy routines from the beginning of his professional career, he has increasingly dedicated his career to music since the 2000s, acting less and spending much of his professional life playing banjo, recording, and touring with various bluegrass acts, including Earl Scruggs, with whom he won a Grammy for Best Country Instrumental Performance in 2002. He released his first solo music album, The Crow: New Songs for the 5-String Banjo, in 2009, for which he won the Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album. more…
