you, you're beautiful', 'When I'm calling you', 'Zen', '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.<ref name=Loved>originally aired in
[[The Loved One]]</ref>

9:30: Desperate women and men call Joe, plead with him to make love to
them.<ref name=Loved />

14:00: A woman (Laura Esterman) leaves a bitter voice-mail
message.<ref name=ThankYou>originally aired in [[Thank You, You're Beautiful]]</ref>

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.<ref>originally aired in [[When I'm Calling You]]</ref>

31:20: Jack Kornfield recounts the story of Groucho Marx and the woman
with 22 children<ref>'I love my cigar...' - this comes from Groucho's
game show, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Bet_Your_Life <i>You bet your life</i>]</ref>
to introduce talking about wanting.<ref>originally
aired in [[Zen]]</ref>

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.<ref name=ThankYou />

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.<ref name=Obsessions>originally aired in [[Obsessions]]</ref>

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.<ref name=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.<ref name=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.<ref name=ThankYou />
