"Two's company. Dupree's a crowd." A best man (Wilson) stays on as a houseguest with the newlyweds, much to the couple's annoyance.

"What matters most is how you well you walk through the fire." This drama centers on Hank Chinaski, the fictional alter-ego of "Factotum" author Charles Bukowski, who wanders around Los Angeles, CA trying to live off jobs which don't interfere with his primary interest, which is writing. Along the way, he fends off the distractions offered by women, drinking and gambling.
