(The first 15 minutes is an edited-down version of the first 20:40 of Either Or (Part 1))
15:00: A woman talks to a mime, apparently absent: 'Do you still lean against walls? Are you still fighting the wind? Have you gotten out of that box yet?' No one responds. She sounds as if she expects no response. Women's voices ask the same questions in French and Portuguese. She pleads for him to talk to her: 'Talk to me!' The questions repeat.
18:10: Joe remembers walking on the shore of Lake Geneva with a mandolin, thinking of Esmeralda, the woman he loved, describes how intimately he wanted to know her: 'I loved Esmeralda so much that I wanted to pull her inside out and caress her pancreas and kiss her heart and run my tongue over her alimentary canal and hug to my breast her lower intestines and trace my fingers to the villi of her lungs and swim through her vascular system.'
48:50: A woman talks to a mime, apparently absent: 'Do you still lean against walls? Are you still fighting the wind? Have you gotten out of that box yet?' No one responds. She sounds as if she expects no response. Women's voices ask the same questions in French and Portuguese. She pleads for him to just talk to her: 'Talk to me!' The questions repeat.[2]
