Gary’s heart swells with today’s historic news (6/26/15) #lovewins (double-tap for full effect)
Every once in a while, Gary will be so charmed and overcome by something Wanda does or says, that he will have to stop whatever they’re doing, get down on one knee like he did all those years ago, and tell her how grateful he is to be in her presence, and all the reasons why he is. Wanda is always appreciative, but she also knows that if they wait too long, all the good seats will be taken, and if they have to sit too close to the screen she’ll get a crick in her neck. This too charms Gary, but seriously, come on Gary, get yourself together, you guys are also gonna want popcorn and it’s about to start (2015)
Wanda knows that dinners with Gary are stressful for Trevor, and lets him know how grateful she is that he came tonight. Trevor is always astonished by how immediately calmed he is by Wanda’s presence. They ride the rest of the way home silently, enjoying the magical simplicity of a moment that, a couple years ago, neither could have imagined possible (2015)
Gary reassures himself that if that guy hadn’t already offered, he would have gladly given up his seat, even though somewhere deep down he suspects that he probably would have just looked at the ground and pretended not to see her. “My feet don’t stop hurting just because it’s Mother’s Day” he thinks to himself, and is immediately awash with shame (2015)
After being told for years that his dreams were foolish and impractical, Gary finally gets the courage to try and live the life he always knew he wanted to live (2014)
Now and again, Gary and Wanda can spend hours together without either one of them feeling like they’re really present with the other. This feeling, coupled with the suspicion that the other is completely oblivious to their emotional absence, makes them each feel alienated, broken, and alone. In fact, these are the very moments in which they are most alike one another. They will never realize this. (2015)
Wanda always dresses as the Tooth Fairy just in case Allan wakes up while she retrieves his teeth. When Gary asks why she thinks the Tooth Fairy wears a waist apron, she says, simply, because of “All the blood” and leaves to do the job. Gary is simultaneously unsettled and intrigued (2003)
Gary doesn’t understand why I had to “bring up all that old stuff” but he’s the one with the Johnny “Lightning” Rogers photo on his wall (2015)
Gary specifically told Wanda’s brother Trevor that the party they were going to was “sort of fancy” and feels like Trevor’s choice of wardrobe is a direct and aggressive display of disrespect, and the old familiar tension between them makes for an awkward subway trip. Wanda recognizes Trevor’s shirt as the one she bought him in honor of his first year sober, and remembers how he tried to pretend he wasn’t crying when she told him he deserved a nice shirt. Her next gift to her brother will a tie, she thinks, as she avoids eye contact with Gary for the rest of the ride (2015)
Promotional photograph from “Race for Space”, a straight-to-video flop starring a young Gary (in his one and only foray into the film world) as Johnny “Lightning” Rogers, a race car driver whose life is changed when a zany visitor from outer space lands in his back yard, and tells him that he’s been chosen to represent Earth in an intergalactic race for the survival of mankind. Gary’s line “Looks like it’s time for “Lightning” to strike TWICE” before he punches Evil Alien Overlord Gryzz in the giant eye for the second time (saving all the other planets from destruction) will be repeatedly quoted by Allan to tease his father about being in one of the worst movies of all time, even though his initial reaction to seeing the movie at age 11 was one of pure awe and pride in his intergalactic hero of a father (1983)
Wanda drops Allan off for his first day of kindergarten. He repeatedly declares that he’s not scared, but the vice grip he has on Wanda’s hand tells a different story (2001)
Dolores’ sister Greta before her first date with next door neighbor Allan, the only man aside from her father who will ever tell her she’s beautiful in that way that makes her almost believe it. He eventually breaks her heart so completely and so callously, that Greta begins to believe that she was not made to be loved by anybody, a belief that Dolores will vehemently fight against for the rest of their lives, to no avail. (1939)
After announcing at the dinner table that he’s running away from home forever and ever, Allan gets on his bike and gets three blocks away before he begins to feel overwhelmed with terror at his newfound permanent independence. In a bit of a panic, he looks around only to see that his dad has been right behind him the whole time and is more than happy to give him a ride home (2006)
Dolores expresses her initial disapproval of the name ‘Allan’. She wishes she had been asked first. “That was the name of the weird kid who lived next door,” she claims. “It’s a Weird Kid’s name.” Allan was Wanda’s grandfather’s name. Gary spends the next week talking Wanda out of a full blown confrontation (1996)
Sandra regularly tells Gary (and everyone else) that she’s in the Witness Protection Program and “can’t really talk about it.” Gary likes her taste in suitcases (2006)
On another of his fruitless attempts to break the monotony, Gary washes his coffee mug out in the sink for the fourth time this morning. A passing co-worker casually mentions that his butt looks really good in those jeans (2012)
As a youth, Gary’s father Steven was told he slightly resembled James Dean. The next few years he found himself squinting and leaning on things a lot more often (1956)
Despite his new promotion, Gary begins to feel isolated, alone, unappreciated, and unseen at his place of work (2012)
Gary tries to explain to Allan and his friend Tara why people sometimes do bad things to other people (2001)
