- Joe is shipwrecked in the amazon and displays his modern gadgets to the natives.
- A woman in a strip club tells Joe about about her disturbing dream.
- Mixed absurd monologue: a hummingbird lands on a rolling car, an underwater hotel during a monsoon, a brothel where patrons are offered medical records of the prostitutes, an enlightened prison, a woman smears cake batter on her breasts and plays the piano, a woman uses a Nordic-track in front of a tv with winter scenes.
