Synopsis

• Debi Mae West - She buys engagement and wedding rings for herself.
• Larry Block - he gets valium from Zak's psychiatrist.
• Debi - taking ecstasy at a rave, connecting with a guy and discussing chanting.
• Sound mix: A woman talks about love, says "Kisses are wonderful," followed by a couple screaming at each other in Spanish while "A Kiss is Still a Kiss" plays.
• Larry and Joe: Conventions versus objective needs, "the ritual and the actual." *The danger of divorcing oneself from convention. The arbitrariness of ties and sex acts viewed objectively. The bizarre situation of acting in a one man show. The futility of our accomplishments when viewed from 500 years in the future.
• Debi - Her new boyfriend the married fundamentalist. Being misdiagnosed with or cured of breast cancer.
• Larry - He's depressed by a play about sexually desperate old people.
• Debi - more about her boyfriend and his wife.
• Larry - His downfall makes for good radio.
• Caribbean guy Everton Sylvester - he rails at the yuppie lifestyle of his audience: "I've got cash," and "fuck you and the Range Rover you drove in on."

Interesting Facts

• The music that fades in near the end of Joe's last conversation with Larry in the program (continuing for the last 4 minutes of the show) is "Zion" by Fluke. Two years later, this track was heard in the soundtrack of The Matrix Reloaded, during the "cave rave" scene.
