May-December Love Stories Gary was successful, a happily married father of two. But something was missing- someone to talk to. (Man 1: No offense. Bill, but you just don't get Angola.) (Man 2: That' what you told Colin Powell.) (Man 1: I was right!) That all changed when Gary met a girl young enough to be his youngest daughter. (Woman: So I was reading a proposed amendment to title 9 in the congressional quarterly-) (Man: I co-sponsored that!) Gary finally found the confidante he'd always longed for. And because their age difference was so vast, there was no danger of sex messing up their friendship. (Man: So I told that daschle to *$# bite me! But wait: How'd you do on your midterm?) Over time the two soulmates became inseparable. (Woman: The Real World accepted me for their next season! It's in Bluth!) (Man: That is so neat! Do a victory dance!) Inevitably, cold-blooded outsiders tried to turn them against each other. (Woman: She doesn't like you- she's dating another guy!) (Man 2: We're friends! I am, quite naturally happy for her!) Finally they decided to part ways- with a promise to meet again. (Woman: I can't believe I won't be talking to you for months!) (Man: Backpacking in Tibet will be fun! Have a great time!)
