Ask anyone who’s gone through heartbreak, and they’ll likely tell you some variation of the clichés saying love is painful, it’s agonizing, it’s blind.
Gary is a sort of boy-man, a child whose lifestyle and ambition have given him the confidence, presence and business acumen of a man. Alana is a woman-girl, working a dead-end job meant for teenagers, simultaneously preoccupied by her own perceived lack of adult success, while still engaging in behavior that prevents her from fulfilling her own potential. “You’ve got to stop fighting with everyone,” Alana’s sister calmly advises her after a family dinner gone bad.
One could argue that at first, Gary is obsessed, not in love, and that the one most invested is Alana. After all, she didn’t have to meet Gary at Tail O’ The Cock or exert any mental energy regarding his existence after walking out of the gym. Yet, somehow, Alana finds direction under Gary’s simultaneously mature-for-his-age yet childish moral compass.
Wachs, a young politician whose youth and inexperience are substituted for ambition and sincerity is undercut by the fact that he’s hiding from the world his romantic relationship with a man and subsequently hurting the one person he presumably loves. “That’s just not how the world works,” Wachs says defensively to Matthew.
Holden spots his old director Rex Blau and the two drunkenly reminisce, fight with spoons and plan a motorcycle jump on the golf course next to the restaurant. Confused and drunk on martinis, Alana desperately turns to Holden and says, “I don’t understand, but I’m sexy, right?”
