'Cause you are going on

the ultimate blind date.

You may kiss the bride.

- Why are you mocking my beliefs?

- l'm just playing with you. Sorry.

- Theresa, an arranged marriage is a...

...sacred union between two people

who grow together in time,..

...not some sort of chance meeting,

okay?

lt works because of its process,

Not because somebody winked...

...at you online.

- Yeah. l got it.

Get a room.

You know, l can't believe those guys.

You're the one who told them to get

a room, Theresa.

Yeah, but i didn't think l was literally

gonna be sexiled from my own...

...apartment.

- Sexiled?

Yeah. lt's when your roommate exiles

you to engage in intense sexual...

...activities.

- l see.

Well, we've got the whole night

together, so better start thinking of...

...something to do.

Look, harry,

l want you to know that...

...l know that you're getting married,

And l respect that.

And l'm sorry that l got all weird on

you in the bowling alley.

lt's just--

- Maybe we should start over.

Hi. l'm Harry.

- Theresa.

- Pleased to meet you, Theresa.

- Listen, l gotta get goin'.

l'll go sit on my stoop or something.

Will you be safe?

- lt's fine. l got my stun gun.

- Okay.

- l'll see you later.

Theresa.

You could always sleep with me.

l mean... Sorry.

Of course.

- lt's okay.

l don't want to put you out.

Don't worry. l'm not putting out.

Come on.

Let's go.

Harry, could l borrow something

to sleep in?

Yeah, sure.

Pj's. l'll leave them right

outside the door.

Just toss them in, okay?

l got soap in my eyes.

Oh, god, no!

- Oh, god, yes!

- Please, no.

Oh, god, not now.

Think of grandma.

Please, blood,

Why won't you circulate

when l need you to circulate?

Ralph Stein

Ralph Stein (1909–1994) was a writer, cartoonist and illustrator. Ralph Stein was born in New York City in 1909. He began his career as a photographer and illustrator at The World-Telegram. During World War II he was the staff cartoon editor for the U.S. Army magazine "Yank". During that time he was co-author, with Harry Brown, of "It's a Cinch, Private Finch," a humorous book about Army life, and many of his cartoons from "Yank" were compiled into a book called "What Am I Laughing At?".From 1953 to 1959, he helped draw and write the "Popeye" comic strip and illustrated "Here's How" for King Features. Stein's first daily "Popeye" strip was published in December 1954 and his last in August 1959. Stein's stories used very little of Popeye's supporting players, and instead took the sailor all over the world. He also returned Bluto to the daily strip beginning in 1957. Later Stein created Bluto's beard-less 'twin brother", Burlo. Stein was the author of several books about cars, including Sports Cars of the World (1952), Treasury of the Automobile (1961), The American Automobile (1978) and The Great Cars (1967).Other books by Ralph Stein include The Pinup From 1852 to Now and The Great Inventions.Stein died in 1994 at the Saybrook Convalescent Hospital in Old Saybrook, Conn at age 85 after a long illness. He had lived in Connecticut for many years. more…
