This episode is excerpts from all 3 parts of 'Iceland', the story of | |||
Lila and Professor Vogel. It isn't all of the segments that involve | |||
Lila. | |||
Joe tells of his relationship with his girlfriend, Lila, | |||
particularly what he dislikes: her huge purse which contains lots of | |||
stuff - she has to dump it all out to find what she's looking for; | |||
she's fussy in restaurants; has poor table manners; she loses things | |||
at the movie theatre, insists on searching while the movie plays. | |||
She mistakenly gives Joe a letter from her mentor, Professor Vogel, | |||
who lives in Iceland, who is dying. He promises his estate to Lila if | |||
she'll visit once more before he dies. He describes their sexual | |||
relationship. After that Joe continues to read his letters to her, | |||
which describe their 'nights of passion'. He finds out she's visited | |||
him when she has told Joe she's at a conference.<ref>originally aired | |||
in [[Iceland (Part 1)]]</ref> | |||
9:30: Joe recounts the dinner party at some of his oldest | |||
friends, how late Lila makes them. She's sympathizing with a neighbor | |||
whose husband left her; then, Lila's mother calls, distraught about | |||
her son's arrest for voyeurism in a women's bathroom at the Hilton. | |||
After that, she puts a lot of effort into her makeup, then tries on | |||
different outfits, asking Joe what he thinks. Just after they get out | |||
the door, the phone rings: Professor Vogel has died; she's to come to | |||
the reading of the will. She describes their fieldwork with Bedouin | |||
tribesmen, everyone's passion for the work, his nursing of her after a | |||
scorpion sting.<ref>originally aired in [[Iceland (Part 2)]]</ref> | |||
18:20: Oswald, Professor Vogel's assistant, meets them at the airport. | |||
Joe describes Vogel's estate and chalet. Vogel is in a block of ice, | |||
his instructions.<ref name=iceland3>originally aired in [[Iceland (Part 3)]]</ref> | |||

him.<ref name=iceland3 /> | |||

hardly exist.'<ref name=iceland3 /> | |||
