Lonely Dick Solomon
Dick ( John Lithgow ) orders Sally ( Kristen Johnson ) to look like the earth women he sees in the glamour magazines.
She takes Tommy ( Joseph Gordon-Levitt ) and Harry ( French Stewart ) with her to the cosmetics counter at the local Department store. Tommy meets a girl, and Harry gets a free facial and a job selling men's cosmetics. Sally gets free make-up samples and buys a mini-skirt. She turns out to be gorgeous.
Dr. Mary Albright ( Jane Curtin ), Dick's love interest, leaves town for a much needed one-week vacation at a spa. She leaves instructions with her secretary that she does not want to be disturbed.
Dick becomes depressed and desperate without Mary, and when the secretary refuses to give him her phone number he searches the office for clues. Finding none, he breaks into Mary's house, puts on her slippers, and makes romantic overtures to her sweater. When she returns to work the following week, he is so overcome with emotion that the secretary has to beat him with a book to get him off Dr. Albright.
