[russellbell at gmail.com]

	This episode is all re-used material, from 'The loved one',
'Thank you, you're beautiful', 'When I'm calling you', 'Zen', and
'Obsessions'

	'Is it the smouldering beauty of my purple eyes...' - Joe is
the most beautiful, charming, intelligent, desirable person in the
world, all men and women want to be with him.  (originally aired in
'The loved one')
	9:30: Desperate women and men call Joe, plead with him to make
love to them.  (originally aired in 'The loved one')
	14:00: A woman (Laura Esterman) leaves a bitter voice-mail
message.  (originally aired in 'Thank you, you're beautiful')
	20:00: A woman (Laura Esterman?) tells a story about a dream.
She's in a room with a bunch of men who talk about politics.  She
tells them it's really about a cow thrown over a cliff, which
represents the way men treat women.  John, a guy (this is a group
therapy session), says that he's unsympathetic, that women have all
power in relationships.  A second guy (Larry Block) sees both of their
points of view.  The therapist asks another woman, Stella, what she
thinks.  Others participate.  (originally aired in 'When I'm calling
you')
	31:20: Jack Kornfield recounts the story of Groucho Marx and
the woman with 22 children ('I love my cigar...' - this comes from
Groucho's game show, 'You bet your life',
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Bet_Your_Life) to introduce talking
about wanting.  (originally aired in 'Zen')
	33:30: More of the bitter voice-mail message: she remembers
going to a bar where a woman was playing piano; the pianist recounts
how Joe treated her.  (originally aired in 'Thank you, you're
beautiful')
	41:00: Joe, at a party, about to leave - 'the food was
pedestrian, the wine was annoyingly ironic', falls in love with a
beautiful woman across the room.  The hostess Darlene tries to get him
to spend the night with her.  By the time Joe gets free the beautiful
woman has left.  (originally aired in 'Obsessions')
	46:00: In the elevator on the way out Joe falls in love with
another woman; Joe doesn't have the courage to talk to her.
(originally aired in 'Obsessions')
	48:40: Joe goes into a coffee shop.  The waitress is the woman
who's in his dreams every night.  Joe falls in love.  He orders dozens
of dishes, many of which one doesn't find in coffee shops.  Joe passes
out, wakes up in the emergency room.  After a few hours they release
him; he returns to the coffee shop, which has been razed, is now
inhabited by homeless.  (originally aired in 'Obsessions')
	54:00: More of the bitter voice-mail message: she remembers
after when they went out to that Spanish place, tells him what a bad
lover and companion he is, how much better lovers others are.
(originally aired in 'Thank you, you're beautiful')
