Joe interviews famous mime Bertram Fields ([[Arthur Miller]]) in a hotel | |||
room at the Bellflower. | |||
Joe asks him what he would have done had he not become a mime. Fields | |||
says that he would have been a registered nurse, describes in detail | |||
how he would have practiced nursing. We hear the passionate couple | |||
next door and someone pounding on their door, yelling. | |||
2:40: Joe asks for a taste of his upcoming performance. Fields | |||
performs 'Nothing happened', a favorite from the | |||
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tienne_Decroux Decroux] days. | |||
3:40: Fields recalls a wonderful day in early autumn, lying in | |||
Elizabeth's lap after a picnic. He sleeps and dreams. His happiness | |||
is spoiled by the thought of her brother, Heinrich, an artist with a | |||
mangled hand who comes between them. | |||
12:00: Fields remembers the night of that day. He wakes, and sees | |||
Heinrich in her face. He calls a carriage that takes him to | |||
Heinrich's sanitarium. When he arrives, Heinrich's not there, no one | |||
knows him. | |||
14:20: This reminds Fields of the day at the academy that Professor | |||
Strawn (sp?) made him dress as a woman and whipped him as he danced. | |||
This made him feel free and stimulated him to be the best student. He | |||
met Heinrich there; Heinrich failed out. | |||
17:40: Joe tells us why he's always hated mime, cites its clichés. | |||
He mentions the 'mime defense' against conviction, cites the case of a | |||
fellow who murdered his family after watching 2 performances in a row. | |||
20:00: The phone rings. Fields answers it. We hear his half of a | |||
discussion of - a performance? | |||
21:30: Joe tells us he wants what we've just heard to stay with us: | |||
under our skin, in our veins and kidneys. He wants us to write a | |||
paper about it, submit a detailed medical history, a cashier's | |||
check… | |||
23:10: Joe's disconcerted by the passionate couple next door again, | |||
asks Fields to call the desk. | |||
24:50: Joe talks about the lovers next door. | |||
