Michael sees a beautiful woman in the apartment across the
courtyard but never talks to her. He follows her one day, watches her
stand on a bridge over water. A fellow in a motorized wheelchair
approaches and talks to her; she lights his cigarette. She then goes
to a restaurant, sits at an outside table. An expensively dressed man
in his 60s in a Lincoln Town Car meets her there; she leaves with him.
Michael sits at the same table, finds a picture of a 9 or 10-year-old
girl she left behind, takes it. He sends her flowers anonymously. A
young man arrives at her apartment; they make love. Michael takes a
cab to the airport, intending to run away, but the cabbie convinces
him to return. She disappears. Her mother has her stuff packed up
and moved out. A male body-builder moves into her apartment.
15:50: Joe tells the story of the woman meeting the
quadriplegic on a bridge from her POV, a scene the man watched. She
was contemplating suicide but the meeting with the quadriplegic
heartened her.
22:10: Debi Mae West air-dries after a shower. (In 'Karma
redux' she asks why she's always wet when Joe calls.) She tells Joe
how much she likes it. They discuss her love life.
33:50: 'They say that love is more precious than the air we
breathe...' - Joe lists things we say love is more precious than.
(re-used in 'Love prisoner')
37:10: Joe describes a meeting of 'Love anonymous'. (re-used
in 'Love prisoner')
43:40: Debi tells Joe about a cute guy she met who told her he
wants to eat her out but doesn't come across.
47:40: 'Love is an old man fishing off a bridge...' - Joe
describes this fellow, his memories of surviving a bombing in Baghdad.
A rude couple stops, asks for directions; he doesn't answer; a giant
catfish pulls the guy into the water. The woman has a geological
survey map. The guy takes his sandwich. The woman does her business
in the bushes, wipes herself with poison ivy. (re-used in 'Love
prisoner')
57:50: Debi tells Joe about the time her mother dropped her
off at school on Good Friday when she was 6; they didn't know school
was closed because they're Jewish.
