Play the Game Page #9

Synopsis: David sells cars at his father's dealership and, from time to time, visits his grandpa, Joe, at a retirement home. David's a great salesman and he's successful attracting women, one after another. Joe, meanwhile, misses his deceased wife and is done with life. David gives Joe advice on how to get women's attention at the care center, and Joe gives David advice on how to find a lifelong companion. Each dismisses the other's words, then tries them out - David with Julie, a women he met playing football, and Joe with Edna and with Rose. Failures follow success. Can either figure out how to enjoy life and be themselves?

step five:

the Groucho effect.

Your package is here.

Thank you.

It says that men

won't join any club

that would have them

as a member.

Whoa, wait, he's here!

I need you.

Oh, I'm so sorry, sweetie.

I'm running late,

I can't do it.

But my Uncle Paul's here.

He used to be

an actor.

Uncle Paul!

Unlike women,

men just don't know

when they've got

something good.

Hello.

But when you make him

work to get in the club,

he thinks he's lucky

to get you.

Okay, come with me.

And because men

sometimes fear commitment,

there's a step six:

the pull-back.

Give him a view of what

life would be like without you,

and that's when he'll realize

what he really wants.

In David's case,

there was nothing like

a one-night stand

to make him realize I wasn't

just another one-night stand.

She's the one.

It's a bit of a gamble,

but if you have patience

and you play the game right,

it pays off.

And with David...

it paid off.

Well, it sure paid off

for you,

but... I don't know.

Hey, Rose!

How about we eat dinner

early tonight?

I'm hungry.

Oh, sorry, sweetie,

but I told Mervin I would eat

dinner with him tonight.
