Synopsis

Not long ago, Paul had a girlfriend, a cat, and few complaints.

Now?

Well, at least he’s got his health.

In between shifts at their security guard posts, Paul’s work buddies try to cheer him up.

But you know what they say about the best intentions… In this quirky comedy, Paul’s friends’ awkward (and hilarious) attempts to console him prove that some comforts only come on four legs.

Press Reviews

"Ethan Lipton is a magic maker who’s mastered the art of intertwining characters [...] They come together or fall apart as naturally as any rival representations from real life. The hilarious anecdotes they share, the love they can’t, their reflexive wariness and unforced kindness"
— these ring right in 90 credible minutes." - Stage and Cinema Chicago

"Wonderfully quirky and surprisingly profound."
— Chicago Sun Times

"Ethan Lipton clearly understands the dark side of warm and fuzzy, masterfully and humorously using bizarre pet stories to get to the heart of his characters’ emotional obliviousness."
— The New Yorker
