But Joan is so rattled, so racked with self doubt (''I'm not the kind of girl that sweeps guys off their feet -- I'm the low maintenance, dependable one that guys call after they've gotten dumped by the girl that sweeps guys off their feet!''), she refuses.
It's TV that is failing Cusack's talent by stuffing her into the kind of snickering, ordinary sitcom audiences are increasingly tired of watching.
