The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAt the racetrack, Lenny tries to turn a wildly unlikely bet into a romantic gesture for Linda. When Eager Beaver loses, Linda's frustration exposes how badly Lenny wanted to impress her. Their banter keeps the date light, but jokes about names, sex, money, and marriage reveal two people negotiating intimacy without saying what they really want.
