Waitress etc

Jenna (Keri Russel -- Felicity in Felicity) works as a waitress/chef at Joe's Pie Diner in South Carolina. Joe's serves nothing but pies -- breakfast pies, lunch pies, dessert pies -- and Jenna's pies aren't just good, they're excellent, nay fantastic, nay heavenly. (And let me tell you, from ten feet away (the only seats left were in the front row) with the screen thirty feet high, those pies looked the part. *is dieting, woe*) But Jenna doesn't just make pies, she invents them. She invents a new pie every day. She is a pie artist.

However despite her great talents, Jenna is deeply unhappy, because she is trapped in a marriage with a terrible (feel free to substitute "abusive" here -- the director doesn't only because Waitress is a comedy) husband and has just learned that she is pregnant with his unwanted child. Her husband really is terrible. He orders her around all the time, always makes her give him all the money, never lets her go anywhere, has awful fits of jealousy, and to top it all off, he's bad in bed (because he assumes that if he's happy, she's happy).

P.S. My father thinks I should edit films since I am so critical of them. Obviously he's never met a real film major XD.
