As we're serenaded by Death Cab for Cutie's poignant "I'll Follow You Into the Dark," we follow schlubby daddy-to-be Gary into Wal-Mart.

To back up a bit, Gary is the stud that knocked up teenaged Amber. They're shacked up in a small apartment in Indiana, hurting for money. Gary is also the guy who—shortly before Amber pops—spends $500 on a PlayStation 3. For himself.

Now Gary waddles into Wal-Mart (Save money. Live better) to drop almost $22 on a wedding ring for his special lady, meaning he may have to go without chili cheese fries for a whole day.
