Perfect Couples

The Couples:

Dave & Julia

The cool, regular couple you see yourself in. They realize they

have their flaws, but they’re trying. And more often than not,

they manage to get it right.

Vance & Amy

The “too much passion” couple. They thrive on the drama, and the

highs are high, but the lows are low. Basically, a pair of

soulmates whose lives would be much simpler if they’d never met.

Rex & Leigh

The “perfect couple” with big quotation marks, they hold

themselves up as ideal partners. They’ve read all the books,

taken all the seminars and can’t wait to share what they’ve

learned with anyone within earshot.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Dave

30, middle-American good looks. Quick with a joke, definitely not

looking to dirty his hands with confrontation. A no-drama guy who

thoroughly enjoys his needier friends' quirks. Think Matt Damon.

Julia

28, smart, sexy and cool. Easily riled, but quick to forgive.

Though comfortable speaking her mind, Julia prides herself on

being low-maintenance in her relationship. Think Tina Fey.

Vance

30, intense. A guys’ guy who manages also to be very sensitive.

Vance is opinionated and feels he’s doing everyone a service by

bluntly sharing his opinions. He’s wrong. Dave’s best friend,

he’s high maintenance, but a ton of fun. Think Vince Vaughn.

Amy

29, attractive and kind, but flighty and unfocused. Amy has

trouble with life's details: lots of lost keys and stoves left on.

Though gentle, Amy taps into an inner tiger when provoked by

Vance, which happens often. Think Leslie Mann.

Rex

30, handsome, successful, but way more self-assured than is

warranted. Back in college, he was the third in Dave and Vance’s

group of two. He’s also Julia’s brother. A party guy and ladies’

man until he met wife, Leigh, Rex now approaches coupledom and

monogomy with the zeal of the converted.

Leigh

24, very put-together. The youngest of the group, but easily the

most mature. Asian-American, but the biggest Burberry-wearing,

Pasadena WASP you ever met. Considers it her responsibility to

mold the other couples in the successful image of Rex and herself.
