She’s the police officer that he’s fallen in love with. She claims that she’s not in love with him. “I’m a cop, Lester. The kind of guy you are, marriage to a cop would be unfair to you.” Can Tema the nurse help him? She knows how to massage an ego. Can his best friends of more than twenty years, Dennis, Jeff, and Ray, help him? Who knows? After all, this is 1984. The world is such a strange place and this is such a strange time.
