The movie cries out for an epilog or even a sequel.

1. Gary gets Susan as his mistress, but she makes him set her up
in an apartment that reflects her wild taste.  Her no-good friends
are often there.  She tries to swindle him in various ways, but
his lawyer arranges a modus vivendi.  We see Gary in the apartment
with wild people in the background selling saunas over the phone.
Susan appears in some of his TV ads.  Just as Gary is keeping Susan,
Susan is keeping Jim.

	2. Roberta and Dez live together, but they have many fights.  The
epilog scene is with a hippy "marriage counselor".  He finds her a bit too
wild for him.  He worries when she takes a job as a target for a drunken
stage knife thrower.  But she retains her naivete, it's just that her
naive arguments are for a wild life.  The counselor has the mannerisms of
a psychoanalyst but takes mainly her side.

	Roberta still reads the personals.

3. Gary's sister teams up with the thug.  The thug, at her
instigation, tries to bump off Susan but turns out to be a
not very competent hit man, and Susan gets the better of them
somehow blackmails them into laying off.  The sister and the
thug live together and run some minor racket together.
They quarrel incessantly, but their personalities clearly match
as they make plots agains Susan and Gary, against Roberta and Dez.

	A mad scientist invents a windmill scheme, and the thug
and the sister get involved in someones attempt to take over a tax
shelter scheme based on these crackpot windmills.
The windmills make incredible noises of all kinds from which cows
flee in terror as the windmills are set up in someone's cow pasture.
Gary is involved in the tax shelter scheme as
a silent partner, so the two sides don't know about each other.

There is a scene involving Roberta and her knife thrower and a windmill
and a chase up or down a high scary ladder.  A Harold Lloyd scene
with Roberta hanging from a windmill blade will suit the image.

Aha, Roberta is built up as a combination dumb blonde and James Bond.
She is always bashing villains on the head with beer bottles.
Dez becomes a sort of Tonto, smart but terrified.
The movie can be both feminine and feminist.
Running gag - every time she gets real domestic and starts to cook
something, listening to Julia Child, the villains appear and she
has to fight them.  After the battle and the dead villains are
lugged off she discovers that what she is cooking is burned or
has the severed head of a villain in it.
Actually, it is better if no-one is killed, except possibly in
off-stage rumor.  However, the villains are foiled in interesting
ways, e.g. by falling into roofers' tar pots.

Perhaps the windmill should be on a building in N.Y.
