Plot: Rabbit is an artist. But he's also a gambler. He owes Mr. Papadopolus 56,000 Pounds. Rabbit has to come up with the money. Unfortunately, he hasn't got it. He's broke. What's more, he's a fantasist. He hasn't sold a single painting. So when gangsters Bland and Lundt pay Rabbit a visit, Rabbit must hand over the cash or hand over his life. There's only one thing going for him...Bland thinks Rabbit has talent. Bland is impressed, especially by a painting that remains unfinished in the living room. Will Rabbit survive? Will the painting ever be completed? In this sharp drama only one thing is certain: the comedy is always edged with black, the menace forever veering towards the absurd.

Plot: When May was a child, she was a lonely girl with a lazy eye and without any friends except a weird and ugly doll kept in a glass case given by her bizarre mother on her birthday. May becomes a lonely, weird young woman, working in an animal hospital and assisting the veterinarian in surgeries and sewing operated animals most of the time. Her lesbian colleague Polly has a sort of attraction for her. When the shy May meets the mechanic Adam Stubbs, she loves his hands and has a crush on him. They date, but the weirdness and bizarre behavior of May pushes Adam away from her. Alone, May has a brief affair with Polly, but she feels rejected again when her colleague meets Ambrosia. When her doll is accidentally broken, the deranged May decides to build a friend for her, using the best parts her acquaintances can offer.

Polly: You're funny. You want to watch me file?
May: [to Suzy, the doll] I told you to face the goddamn wall!
[Polly is making out with May]::Polly: Do you feel weird doing this?::May: I am weird.::Polly: I love weird.
May: You don't think I'm weird?::Adam: I do think you're weird.::May: I knew that.::Adam: I like weird. I like weird a lot.
May: [to doll] I'll bet you're wondering what I'm making!::[pause]::May: Okay, I'll tell you.::[giggles]::May: I saw someone today. A boy. You know how when you meet someone... and you think you like them? And then, the more you talk to them, you see parts that you don't like. Like that guy on the bench. And sometimes, you end up not liking any parts at all. But this boy is different. I like every part of him. Especially his hands, they're beautiful.::[pause]::May: Don't be mad, you've been my friend my whole life. And you see me, you always have, but... I need a real friend. Someone I can hold.
May: Okay. A couple of weeks ago, and old man comes in, and says his dog is dying. And he begs us to save it. A 90-pound black lad named Seymour. We take him in and run some tests, and find that he has a twisted bowel, and needs to be operated on immediately. So we shave Seymour's tummy, we cut him open, and take out a piece of intestine about - about the size of a hot dog. Everything went smooth, but... when we went to sew Seymour back up, we realized we were out of the heavy sutures your supposed to use for large dogs. So the doctor decided that if we tripled up on cat sutures, that should do the trick. Well... a few days go by, and the old man calls up hysterical. The sutures had burst while he was at work, and by the time he got home, Seymour was sprawled out on the back porch with his guts spread all over the concrete, and the fence was soaked in blood all around the yard. It was a mess.::[Adam stares in disgust]::May: I had to sew that one back up.::[May giggles insanely]
Polly: Maybe we can hang out, eat some melons.
Foreign Doctor: Moy, I need a big scupel for German-a Shepherd surgery tomorrow!
