Perry Duryea looks like a product of eastern Long Island, as much a part of the coastal view as the countless red-and-white lobster pots from which he has, over the years, extracted a fortune worth a couple or three million dollars.

...look, the movie itself is pretty irrelevant. This is what you do: take someone you love or like a lot out to dinner on a Friday or Saturday night.
