'The Van'
An out-of-work dad and husband,
Larry has taken to unemployment like a bird to the skies. He hasn't the
slightest care in the world. When his industrious friend, Bimbo, gets riffed,
however, Larry's peaceable existence is over. He welcomes Bimbo to the
jobless, pint-sipping fold. But Bimbo's miserable without work. And when he
learns about a run-down, old hamburger truck, he recruits Larry to help.
A thorough cleaning session later, the van ... dubbed
Bimbo's Burgers ... is ready to roll: literally. It has no engine.
But with a car and cable, they can tow it from place to place. Enlisting
Larry's daughter as their pretty, short-order assistant, they park the van
outside their local pub and wait. The house is full of soccer fans,
watching a critical World Cup game for Ireland. The game's over, but they
still haven't come out. The chipper trio waits. -- Desson Howe
