->'''Elise''': How they smell. Do you mind my saying that? Am I being too wifely? I'll tell you what the problem is. I don't know how to be indifferent. I can't master this, and it makes me susceptible to pain. In other words, it hurts.

Hermetically sealed in his high-tech stretch limo, financial whiz-kid/gazillionaire Erik Packer (RobertPattinson) is intent on three things: making a killing on the financial markets, talking his new high society wife into having sex with him, and--most importantly--getting a haircut from his favorite barber on the other side of town. None of these go as planned: the markets kill ''his'' finances, he has sex with every woman ''but'' his wife, and a series of traffic jams, riots, and promises to assassinate him slow Erik's commute to an agonising crawl.
