    I Am the Tiger: Tony Byrne, self-made man, owner of a booming fitness emporium and with the mouth of a taxi driver, explains the way it is to Celine, his girlfriend and manageress of the solarium.

    Static Cling: A wild young thing pulls up in an old wreck in front of the posh restaurant her older, uptight sister manages. What could she want this time?
