After several weeks of nonstop work, Paul (Paul Reiser) is finally able to enjoy a romantic evening alone with wife Jamie (Helen Hunt). Alas, the couple's cozy tête-à-tête is repeatedly interrupted by intrusive neighbors and a jangling telephone -- not to mention the Buchman's stupid dog, Murray, who is in hot pursuit of an "invisible" mouse. Though not much lovin' gets done, the Buchmans do manage to carry on non sequitur conversations about everything from Ralph Kramden to the Portuguese fur trade.
