	Bud (Larry Block) describes the painful death of his father to
Ray (Ryan Cutrona).
	2:30: Ray tells Bud how they diverted the river, how that
polluted it.
	4:10: Ray admires Charlayne (Laura Esterman) dancing to 'The
Stripper'.
	5:00: Ray tells Charlayne how strongly he feels for her.  He
describes her stripping.
	8:50: Ray sings 'For once in my life' to her.  He complains to
the orchestra that they don't stay in sync with his singing, slangs
them.
	13:50: Bud introduces himself to Charlayne, tells her how much
he liked her dancing.  He tells her of his accident.  She tells him
about her birth and raising in Lourdes, France.  Her parents both
drowned in the waters.  Her grandmother took her to America.  She
started out dancing ballet, in respectable companies.
	22:20: Bud tells Charlayne about the death of his father,
unexpectedly, quickly, of a heart attack.
(https://www.joefrank.com/shop/in-the-middle-of-nowhere-2 says Bud
gives 2 conflicting accounts of the death of his father.)  He asks
Charlayne how she'd feel if he died in a second, how they'd miss
having a relationship.  They step out on the porch to watch the river.
	26:20: Ryder (Tim Jerome) and Ray play pool; Ryder makes every
shot, which makes Ray mad.  Ryder tells Ray why he's like the river.
	33:10: Charlayne tells Bud how much she likes the river, would
like to get a boat and float down it.
	34:30: Bud tells Charlayne he wants her to come with him.  He
describes the different ways they could go together.  She demurs.
	38:40: Ryder teaches Charlayne how to shoot.  He wants to hold
her.  She rejects his advances, calls him a slimy French man; he
protests he's French but not slimy.  He complains about all the
mishaps he sees driving an ambulance.
	42:20: Ryder sings 'One note samba' to Charlayne.
	44:30: Charlayne tells Ryder he makes her miserable.  She
points the gun at him.  He dares her to shoot him.  They fight.
	49:10: Bud recalls working as a dress salesman, how
humiliating it was.  He thought of himself as a salesman, took up
selling Bibles instead of dresses.  He describes his life as a Bible
salesman.
