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

Thank you.

Thank you!

Okay.. Chet!

What?

Hey!

You know what I've been thinking?

I have no idea.

Well, how could you.

I'm doing the thinking, always.. Listen!

Chet. Who hangs out with

rock musicians on the road?

- Who?

- Other rock musicians.

And?

If you had someone on the road..

.. with the band, you know,

one of the bands that uses our stuff..

.. with someone, who looks real sharp, you know..

.. someone who is musicians-related..

.. then you could sell a lot of stuff that way.

And do you have someone in mind?

Yeah.

Me.

Think about it.

Okay. Smell.

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE

DINNER WITH YOU...

- Arigato!

- Arigato.

- Arigato.

- Arigato.

- Arigato..

- Arigato.

- Arigato.

- Arigato.

Did you get my package?

I always seem to be

sneaking up on you but I'm not.

Right, I was.. distracted by..

global commerce.

So.

Did you get my package?

Uhh, yes. Thank you.

And?

Who are you?

Good point.

I'm Ray Porter, hi.

- How are you?

- Hi.

Look, I know you can't be seen

chatting up customers, so..

.. why don't you just

meet me on Friday, for dinner..

.. at 8 o' clock?

While Ray Porter explains his

presumption and getting her address..

.. and sending her the gloves..

.. Mirabelle sighes him up

and no alarm bell sounds.

She asks him several questions and

gets a particular kind of checklist..

.. for a man over 50.

Divorced, two houses, one in L.A. and

one in computer-oriented Seattle..

.. which is source of his wealth.

What time?

But the one question she does not ask him..

.. which is foremost in her mind is..

.. "why me?".

Hey!

Hi.

Mind if I join you?

We see each other but we

don't know each other.

- I'm Lisa.

- Mirabelle.

You ever have men ask you out of the store?

Daily.

And do you ever go out with them?

Depends.

Somebody asked you out?

You want some advice?

You never call him.

But if he calls you you talk to him..

.. then act like you have another call.

Keep him on for a long time.

Like the longer than you think it is possible.

And break dates.

Always break dates.

Right there on the holidays,

and then he is just stuck.

And fellatio.

The sooner the better.

And a lot.

Act like you love it.

After he's addicted cut him off.

That's when you got him.

Yeah, I couldn't do all that.

How come?

I'm from Vermount.

Oouch.. Fudge!

- Hi.

- Hey.

- Can I come in?

- Yeah, please.

- I think I can see your apartment from my house.

- Really?

Yes, because I live near the observatory and I

can see the observatory from your steps.

- Well, do you want to go or stay or..

- Um, well..

- Do you want to sit down?

- Yes. Great, thanks.

Oww!

Do you want something to drink?

Pardon me?

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…
