A thirsty woman cannot sleep. Joe is hit-man who talks about past jobs. He is hired to kill his friend. A woman down the hall complains about her diabetic symptoms, talks about having been a jazz singer, and then sings in a hoarse, spastic voice. Joe coaches an actor in building a sad revelation and asks for a story about "someone younger." [[Larry Block]] talks about a financial problem, asks if he is being taped, then talks about playing a diabetic patient for a medical school training program. What is a right to life? | A woman (Grace Zabriskie) says that she is tired all the time, can't | ||
sleep at night, is terribly thirsty no matter how much water she | |||
drinks; asks what Joe thinks. | |||
1:00: Joe, a hitman, tells us about his victims, how he kills them, | |||
how he insinuates himself into their and their families' lives, how | |||
he's a good family man, friend, and citizen. | |||
7:00: Lex (Larry Block), his boss, calls to discuss Joe's latest hit: | |||
Raymond, a colleague who wants to get out of the business. | |||
8:40: An annoying woman down the hall (they're in the hotel | |||
Mayflower), comes by to bum a cigarette and kvetch. | |||
9:30: She and a man (Ryan Cutrona) (he isn't introduced) talk about | |||
jazz musicians and the 'Modern Joyce Quartet'. | |||
10:40: The woman scat-sings to a piano. | |||
11:40: Joe confronts Raymond (Ryan Cutrona); Raymond wants Joe to | |||
help. Joe recalls their meeting last week at O'Doul's. Joe coaches | |||
him on his acting; he's not tragic enough. | |||
19:10: Joe laments the depths to which we must go to survive. Lex | |||
chimes in, then Larry starts talking about his life. Larry plays a | |||
patient at Morchand center for clinical | |||
competence<ref>https://icahn.mssm.edu/education/medical/clinical/morchand/actors</ref><ref>This | |||
may be the first time Larry appears as himself.</ref> | |||
24:50: Raymond and the woman are gone; Joe's looking at the | |||
junk he sees in the street from his window. He wonders why anyone | |||
thinks s/he has a right to life. | |||
