Storyline
Sonny Koufax is 32 years old. He's a law school graduate. He's got a nice apartment in Manhattan. There's just one problem. He does nothing, except sit on his butt and live off an investment that was the result of a meager lawsuit he won a year ago. But after his fed up girlfriend leaves him, he comes up with the ingenious idea to adopt a five year old boy to showcase his newfound maturity. But things don't go as planned, and Sonny finds himself the unlikely foster father that will change his perspective on just looking out for himself. Written by MonkeyKingMA

Nazo: I deliver food for six years. Plus, I'm stripper. But I've gained weight so that's a problem.
Tommy: I see. And, in your experience, was Sonny a good father to Julian?
Nazo: Oh, yes. They make terrific pair. They went together like lamb and tuna fish.
Tommy: Lamb and tuna fish?
Nazo: Maybe you like spaghetti and meatball? You more comfortable with that analogy?
Homeless Guy: Yes, considering we're in America. I mean, if you don't like spaghetti and meatballs, why don't you get the hell out?
Nazo: Listen, I'll come down there and give you a crew cut, Mister.
Homeless Guy: Let's see your clippers.
Nazo: Not my problem your father was sick.
