Two lost souls, Bud and Lou, join a Knitting Club to meet girls. Immediately Bud, just back from Kandujar, becomes obsessed with Norma, a distant beauty he spots across the room. Finally, it’s the Knitting Club’s Sadie Hawkins Night. They arrive with their needles. Lou, traumatized because a homeless man called him “bald,” keeps putting on wigs, rubbing “bald crème” into his head and pleading with Bud, “I don’t look like no Uncle Fester, do I?” Music begins, there’s Norma, across the room, Bud is terrified. Bud recounts that it’s his birthday, and his sweet daughter Dinah (who he’s estranged from because of PTS), didn’t call. Lou recounts how he and Ronnie, his old girlfriend, are getting back together. “We’re soulmates, Bud.” Suddenly, Norma starts crossing the room. Bud is ready yet terrified. Lou, again, starts obsessing about Ronnie. Bud finally tells him the truth. She split with Paulie McIntyre. They’re getting married. Lou is devastated. Norma finally arrives but crosses right past the hopeful Bud to the devastated Lou. Asks him to dance. He looks to Bud who nods sadly, “Go do it.” Lou walks away with the alluring Norma. Now Bud, equally devastated, picks up his knitting. Begins. A door in back opens. It’s his daughter. “Happy Birthday, Daddy. I was looking all over for you.” They walk off into the night.
