New York playwright Wilber Weinberg is having a hard time coping. His wife Candice accepted a huge promotion in Silicon Valley. To help, Candice sends Wilber a unique gift- a very talented AI named Goldie. She is a tech-mate who is proficient at just about everything. When director Ben Garrison asks Goldie to help "revise" Wilber's new scenes, everyone is amazed at her talent. everyone except Wilber that is. He feels threatened. Consumed by jealousy, Wilber starts self-medicating with vodka tonics.

At intermission for the opening of his new play, the inebriated Wilber threatens to stop the show, claiming it is not his work anymore. What's worse is when Ben confides to Wilber that he is in love with Goldie, Wilber announces that he's going to dismantle her, pack her up, and sell her on Ebay.
