Plot
In the early 1990s, Los Angeles locals John (Edward J. Foster) and Jane (Jeanne Basone) are both being pressured by their respective parents to find a suitable spouse. John, a plumber with congenital disorder, is told by his mother (Violetta Gevorkian, voiced by Samantha Eggersoll) to go to her house with John's current girlfriend, Amy, for dinner at 6:00 pm. College student Jane, meanwhile, who is considered a "daddy's girl", is going to a prospective job interview, having disliked her employees at her previous job.
When John and Jane both meet in a parking lot by 8:00 AM, and John instantly falls in love with Jane, calling her "perfect". John decides not to go to work and stays in the parking lot to wait for Jane to leave from her job interview so he can meet Jane again, thinking it's more important than his job, possibly due to the fact of his mother's wanting of a spouse for him. Around this time, it is revealed that the game is being narrated by Harry Armis (who also played Jane's father).
When Jane is at the interview, her prospective boss, Paul Mark Thresher (played by Paul Bokor), attempts to rape her after telling her to have sex with him to get a job, and eventually Jane runs away from Mark. When John finds her being chased by Mark, John comes in and saves her, and Mark, Jane and John end up in the middle of an abandoned house. Around this time, Harry Armis is replaced by a female narrator named Wilma (Thyra Metz). She is shot multiple times by Armis, who then returns as narrator.
After the chase, Mark tries to pay Jane $5 million for sex. If Jane accepts this offer, it also would force John to have to marry Amy and have 3 kids to please his mother. But Jane refuses, after John tells him that Jane loves him, and that she wants to marry him for a lifetime. John and Jane both walk out of the house and Mark is going to get arrested after calling the police, and John and Jane live happily ever after.
