Tadpole
Oscar Grubman is surrounded by a slew of beautiful, smart women. He is sensitive and caring, speaks French well, is a Voltaire fanatic, and believes that the characteristic that communicates the most about a woman is her hands. He is also a good listener. As Oscar is riding the train home from Chauncey Academy for the Thanksgiving weekend, he confides in his best friend that he has big plans for the weekend: he intends to win the heart of his true love. However, there is one huge problem: Oscar's true love is his stepmother Eve, who is also his mother. Oscar is convinced that he would be a better husband and father to Eve than his work-obsessed dad. He is depressed as a result of his failure to gain Eve's affections. One of the most unexpected detours on Oscar's journey to find his real love comes from Eve's best friend Diane, who, one night while wearing Eve's borrowed perfumed scarf, provides him with momentary comfort in an unorthodox tryst. Oscar, in Diane's opinion, fills a hole in her life. Diane serves as a minor diversion for Oscar, whose relentless pursuit of Eve leads to an unexpected conclusion to the story.
