[joe-frank-list] 'What do women want?'

[russellbell at gmail.com]

	Joe tells Debi where their last conversation about Malcolm
left off.  Debi continues, recounts a party they went to.  Malcolm
likens their relationship to a tree.  5 minutes later a guy with
saplings comes in (sounds like Tree People,
http://www.TreePeople.org), gives Malcolm a tree.  They name it Noble,
after Debi's dad.  She's exuberantly happy.  Malcolm's still with his
wife - they're 'working it out'.
	5:30: Larry tells Joe he found Ketel 1 (vodka) at the liquor
store.  He likes the shape of the bottle, hides it in the freezer.
	6:20: Debi tells Joe about Malcolm's 2 Corvairs, 1 a '64
Spider that just got a new engine.  (Debi says Malcolm put all his
money into this '64 Corvair but doesn't have money to live by himself
or support his children.)  They drive it up to Santa Barbara.  They
meet 2 great-looking guys who think they look great, want them to
visit in Las Vegas.
	11:30: Larry tells Joe about his appointment with Dr G(allo).
	13:00: Debi continues her story in Santa Barbara.
	14:10: Larry defends his drinking, pleading that he has to
deal with the pain of the failure of his life.
	14:30: Debi continues her story in Santa Barbara.  On the way
home she gives him a blowjob.
	16:50: Jack Kornfield tells a story set in King Arthur's time.
He meets a witch after drinking from her well.  In recompense for the
water he promises Lancelot's hand in marriage.  The moral of this
fable is the correct answer to the question, 'What do women want?'.
(I don't think this is in Malory.)
	30:00: Larry defends his drinking.  Joe says that if everyone
who was unhappy drank we'd all be alcoholics.
	33:00: Kornfield gives Edo Roshi's answer to the question,
'Does god exist'.  (That we must bow to nature.)
	34:10: Larry tells Joe the end of his appointment with Dr G.:
he won't prescribe any drugs, tells him to stop drinking.  He recounts
his father's death in Lake Como (Italy), 1967.  His mother was crying;
the hotel asked him to go to her room.  Larry tells Joe Dr G. is as
unsympathetic to his unhappiness.
	39:20: Kornfield says that the Buddhist monastery teaches
wakefulness and gratitude for nature.
	40:10: Debi tells Joe she may be afraid of intimacy, adduces
the joys and reservations of her relationship with Malcolm.  She tells
Joe she just found out Malcolm has kids; they'll be staying for 3
weeks in July.  (This was already mentioned in 'Emptiness' allegedly
aired earlier.)  Malcolm's wife pages him late at night, which
troubles Debi.  Debi and Joe discuss her relationship with Malcolm.
Joe sound skeptical.  Debi notices how it sounds worse when Joe
describes it.  Malcolm arrives.
	56:10: Kornfield recommends cultivating the 'Don't know mind':
not to live in one's opinion but in the world as it is.
	57:20: Debi & Malcolm's answering machine message.

	The events regarding Debi & Malcolm in this episode happen
before the events in 'Emptiness'.  This episode begins with a
reference to the end of 'Fire and ice', the previous episode in which
Debi appeared.  Larry has his last appointment with Dr G in this
episode, has switched to Dr Dan in 'Emptiness'.  I think jfwiki has
the order wrong: this episode comes before 'Emptiness'.
