== Synopsis == | == Synopsis == | ||
[[Larry Block]] describes drinking tequila with salt and lemon, that | |||
he drinks too much. He buys groceries that he will regret eating | |||
later. He compares himself to Cinderella. | |||
3:10: Joe imagines sitting in a small bar in Rio, watching Kate | |||
dancing alone to a band - she's so beautiful. She gestures Joe to | |||
join her, but Joe can't move, which makes her angry. | |||
5:00: Joe talks to Kate on the phone: she tells him she danced to a | |||
jukebox at an empty Mexican bar that day; the songs included Jobim's | |||
'Brazil'.<ref>which Joe used a lot in the 'Karma' shows</ref> | |||
7:00: [[Jack Kornfield]] describes spiritual practice. He tells of | |||
the Burmese monk who wanted to set himself on fire because he had | |||
fallen in love with a woman. | |||
11:00: Larry reads Joe a poem, 'My poem is written in a fragile book, | |||
unbound…' He compares it to fish dying in a Chinese market. | |||
Joe says he'd duct-tape the fishmonger's mouth shut to show him how | |||
the fish feels. Joe claims he pushed a fisher off the Venice pier - | |||
he didn't just write a poem about it. | |||
14:20: Kate tells Joe she had a dream last night in which Joe was a | |||
fish. Joe interrupts her guessing wrongly about her dream. Again a | |||
man, Joe has a relationship with a Jewish woman instead of her. | |||
18:50: Kornfield tells of [[Wikipedia:Kalu Rinpoche|Kalu Rinpoche]], a 'wonderful old | |||
Tibetan lama'. At the Boston aquarium he prays for the enlightenment | |||
of the fish. | |||
20:10: Larry reads the poem he wrote for Rosalie, talks about her | |||
desire to collaborate on writing a book about love through the ages; | |||
Larry wants to rent a cabin in the Berkshires; she wants to do it via | |||
e-mail<ref>He and Rosalie have to go to the library to use e-mail, so | |||
it would take forever.</ref> | |||
26:10: Larry says he'll take Joe's advice, exchange rhyming couplets. | |||
He thinks that's funny. | |||
27:30: Kornfield recalls a retreat in Massachusetts 15 years ago. He | |||
was scheduled to lead a loving-kindness meditation to close the | |||
retreat. Just before that he got a call from his girlfriend, got into | |||
a big fight with her, was able to lead it despite his anger. | |||
31:00: Joe tells of a 'late night marathon phone conversation'. Kate | |||
remembers Joe supporting her when her father wouldn't. Joe wonders | |||
why, now that she's making big money for a film, she doesn't dump him; | |||
Joe realizes the depth of her feelings for the first time, but still | |||
has a lingering suspicion. | |||
32:30: Kornfield tells of the student who gets his sacred mantra, | |||
rushes to the marketplace to tell it to everyone, thereby shows his | |||
enlightenment. | |||
34:00: Kornfield tells of of Krishnamurti moving a rock in the road. | |||
34:50: Larry tells Joe he proposes to Rosalie staging Edward | |||
Hopper-esque scenes instead. | |||
37:00: Kornfield tells of the psychology class in which every student | |||
takes an orange from the bowl, describes it, returns it, then finds | |||
his/her orange - they all do. | |||
39:20: Kornfield quotes Gide, 'Know that joy is rarer, more difficult, | |||
and more beautiful than sadness…' | |||
39:50: Kornfield quotes Camus, 'A person's life is a slow trek to | |||
rediscover through the detours of art those 2 or 3 moments in whose | |||
presence the heart first opened.' | |||
41:30: Joe and Kate are in the second hour of the conversation. Joe | |||
tells her he has to get to work on the show. She hangs up, then calls | |||
back to complain about him putting her off with the same excuse. They | |||
fight. | |||
51:50: Larry tells Joe that he's withdrawing emotionally from Rosalie, | |||
tells Joe about Svengali. He claims it's historical<ref>it's a novel, | |||
[[Wikipedia:Trilby (novel)|<i>Trilby</i>]], written by George du Maurier in 1894.</ref> Larry | |||
describes the 1931 movie [[Wikipedia:Svengali (1931 film)|<i>Svengali</i>]], which starred John | |||
Barrymore. | |||
