Yancy, a lonely young man, is stood up by his date and while playing a game of Battleship by his lonesome, is visited by a hooker named Sierra who has him confused for her client. After the miscommunication is cleared up, and Yancy pays her twenty dollars, Sierra decides to stay and play Battleship with him before her actual appointment. Yancy compares his love life to the pieces on his Battleship board and, after inadvertently insulting Sierra, she compares her life to the lipstick and whipped cream in her purse. Yancy lays his heart out, hoping Sierra will stay a while, but she leaves anyway. Yancy sits alone again, but it turns out that he had more of an impact on Sierra than he initially thought.
