| Adam Williams, a serial monogamist, breaks up with his latest girlfriend and later prangs Rachel Bradley's car on a supermarket car park. He exchanges phone numbers with her, for "insurance" purposes, and the two eventually go on a series of dates. Three months later, Adam thinks he is getting too deep into a relationship, and the two split up. Rachel goes back to her old boyfriend, and Adam—aware that he "got cold feet"—wins her back by serenading her with a rose between his buttocks. Meanwhile, Adam's friends Pete and Jenny Gifford try for their first baby, and Rachel's friends Karen and David Marsden argue over whether they should get a nanny for their son, Josh. |

Famous quotes containing the word pilot:
“With two sons born eighteen months apart, I operated mainly on automatic pilot through the ceaseless activity of their early childhood. I remember opening the refrigerator late one night and finding a roll of aluminum foil next to a pair of small red tennies. Certain that I was responsible for the refrigerated shoes, I quickly closed the door and ran upstairs to make sure I had put the babies in their cribs instead of the linen closet.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
