-Eleanor talks to her psychiatrist - Eleanor has a dream about a screaming baby in a flood, hears children through the window, complains about her doctor's coughing. A man meets a woman at a banquet and falls asleep during a game of footsie. Eleanor calls Arthur and apologizes, offers to move in as a maid, claims she's sick.  Joe chats with the woman he's rented.  Chimes and list of nouns.  Therapy session continues: Eleanor talks about repeating the word "father," A man seduces a woman and her daughter, and her daughter seduces his son.  Eleanor and Arthur talk later after she's recovered. Eleanor hears voices on the line. Panel discussion: changing one's feeling for someone who's sick; smell and dating; Rent a Friend; value associated with paying for things. A man is full of rage, yearns to watch the university where he teaches crumble.
+Eleanor ([[Barbara Sohmers]]) tells a psychiatrist about a dream in
+which she has a baby which has a problem she can't do anything about.
+She recalls her younger sister, Pearl, how she rocked her cradle when
+she cried; their mother called her a 'good little mommy.'  Pearl died,
+after which her father was cold to her; Eleanor felt guilty.  She
+complains to the psychiatrist, who coughs a lot, about the sound of
+the children playing next to his office.  She complains about his
+coughing and cigars, that her therapy makes her feel worse.
+: Panelist #2 ([[Arthur Miller]]) tells of annual psycho-anthropology
+convention; at the dinner a woman seated across from him played
+footsie with him.  He fell asleep; when he woke up, she was gone.
+:40: Eleanor calls Arthur ([[Mark Hammer]]), when she brings up Wendy
+and Diane, Arthur says they don't exist, hangs up.
+: Eleanor calls for Arthur, Kathy ([[Carolyn Swift]])
+answers; she tells him this has to stop; she insists on speaking to
+Arthur.  She wants to live with him and Kathy.
+:50: Eleanor calls Arthur, says she's very sick, throwing up
+blood.  Kathy thinks she's making it up, wants Arthur to hang up;
+Arthur takes it seriously.  Arthur and Kathy fight.
+:30: Joe visits his <i>Rent-a-family</i> again, Sharon and her
+daughters, Christa and Sarah.  This sounds like a repeat from part 2,
+though more audible.
+: While their conversation continues, Joe recites a list of
+things, 'throw pillows, dental floss...' perhaps the same list as
+before.
+:30: Eleanor tells psychiatrist that she used to stand in
+front of a mirror and repeat 'father' until the word meant nothing
+when she was a girl.  She tells psychiatrist how easy his job is, how
+little work he does, wonders why she's paying him.  She likes rain.
+:30: Panelist #3 ([[Nick Ullett]]) tells of affair with
+businesswoman.  Later, when he was 'out on the coast' <ref>Pacific
+coast, I assume</ref>, her daughter, June, called him up because she
+was in town.  They end up having sex.  His son shows up for a bit,
+which increased her attractiveness to him.  They have sex <ref>notice
+a pattern in his stories?</ref>.  Later, his son has sex with June.
+He finds it fascinating.
+: Eleanor calls Arthur.  They get along for the first time,
+possibly because Kathy divorced him.  They make small talk.  Arthur
+humors her reminiscences of Wendy and Diane.
+:30: The sound of children playing, the same sound Eleanor
+heard at the psychiatrist's office.  Arthur can't hear it, but it
+drowns out Arthur for Eleanor, so she hangs up.
+: Arthur tells Panelist #2 that he never really loved Kathy;
+apparently she's in a coma.<ref>How did Arthur get on the panel?</ref>
+:50: Panelist #2 says there's a strong odor of tahini about her,
+which attracts him.  Panelist #3 says he can't get near a woman who
+smells of patchouli.  Proprietor says he can't be near a woman who
+smells of chocolate.  Panelist #2 says patchouli causes impotence.
+Proprietor tells panel how much he has enjoyed the evening.
+Panelist #1 (([[Tim Jerome]]) thinks <i>Rent-a-family</i> is a fad.
+Proprietor disagrees.  They discuss how paying for something makes
+it more valuable.  Proprietor pays for the drinks.
+:40: Arthur delivers a rant about his rage, how he wants to
+destroy others, everybody at the university struck blind.
