This film is dedicated to lonely guys everywhere.
Lonely guys have been with us since the beginning of time.
There's one there. Poor guy.
Another new year's eve alone in the cave.
Even a thousand years from now,
the lonely guy will still be there.
Look at this guy.
That couple will go down in history.
All he gets to do is eat roast beef from a tube.
So all you lonely guys out there, this film is for you.
It's for guys like that guy, chin loo fung in canton, china.
He's got married brothers and sisters,
yet still eats alone in a chinese restaurant four nights a week.
It's for mbowie zoomba, another lonely guy.
While he's happy that cable tv has been installed in his area,
he'd really just like to meet a nice girl with attractive lip lace.
And it's for larry hubbard...
[larry hubbard] Hey, that's me, fifth one down. I'll take over the narration.
Hi, i'm larry hubbard. This is the story of how i became a lonely guy.
I came to manhattan to be a writer.
While i was working on my novel, i took a job at a greeting card firm.
It was working out pretty well.
What are you working on, hubbard?
It's an idea i had for a new kind of sympathy card, sir.
Mmm.
"I know how much your loss must grieve you,
"but here's a thought i'd like to leave you:
"Although you're sad remember that...
now god is petting your pussycat. "
Beautiful! Hubbard!
- Congratulations! You're moving up. - Thank you, sir.
- Get your things and take the front desk. - Yes, sir!
- Finley, harrison, annenberg, leach. - Yes, sir?
Stop whatever you're doing. I want pet cards.
Birthday, anniversary. And not just cats and dogs.
I want hamsters, fish, parakeets.
I was always lucking into things like that.
New york had been pretty good to me.
The best part was, i'd met this gorgeous ballet dancer named daniele.
She was nuts about me and asked me to move right in with her.
Every day at : she'd have bathed, perfumed,
put on a sexy nightie...
and be waiting alone in a big bed just for me.
Hi, daniele. Tarzan is here.
Oh, one second while i look through my mail here.
[Muttering] Oh, geez.
Hey, a rejection from a completely new publisher.
They're finally getting to know me in this town.
Hi, honey. You miss me?
- So, what'd you do today? Anything interesting? - Ohhh.
You gotta get out of the house. You can't mope
around all day waiting for me to come home.
Ohhh.
This your cigar in here, honey?
All ready for me i can see, huh?
Mmm. You smell good.
I don't believe you!
You come home, you find me in bed with another man,
you act as if nothing's going on.
Larry, this is my lover, raoul.
We're lovers. Understand?
- Hi, raoul. Larry hubbard. Nice to meet you. - Yeah, hi.
Have you known daniele long?
Yes, we're dancers in the same company.
- Dancer? I thought they were all... - yes.
Well, raoul's not! Raoul's all man.
Yeah.
And he's moving in tonight. After the nutcracker.
He's bringing his things over in the morning.
Bringing his things over? There's hardly enough room for our things!
Your things are going! I've already packed them!
They're in the hall beside the garbage, and you can take 'em out all together.
I know i'm behaving strange. Probably real strange.
I've never been in a situation like this before.
I don't know how to handle it. I still don't know how to handle it.
So i was waiting, calmly,
patiently, reasonably,
'til i do figure out how to handle this kind of situation.
Hold it. I think i've got it.
Yes, yes.
What the hell's going on here? What's he doing in this bed?
You disgust me, both of you!
I'm getting out of here, and i never want to see you in my life again!
I think i handled that rather well.
[Daniele, muffled] Oh, larry, don't forget the garbage.
I had no place to stay, nowhere to go.
There was no one to talk to. I must've looked pretty pitiful.
But that's the good thing about living in a big city like new york.
At least nobody i knew was going to see me like this.
