== Synopsis ==

Joe's father works in a condom company, condom testing on animals and people.  A testing lab made up like a hotel.  His father escapes from an unhappy life in a dirigible, catches seagulls and fish.  He meets the pope; we're given a list of topics they discuss.  His father returns, works in prosthetics, then disappears to avoid patient lawsuits.  A man talks about his gun, uses it to shoot a barking dog. His wife is furious.  Sound of thunder in the background.  The man and wife fight over the weather, over a squash dish, her housework.  Monologue: Joe delivers monologue praising an idealized mother in a poor, rural household.  Excusing her drunken outbursts, attempts to run away, repeated hospitalization, setting the house on fire, affairs with a doctor.  The fighting couple - he refuses to tell her where he's been in order to prevent her from being captured and tortured for information.  Monologue: remembering an idyllic past free from crime.  A man on the phone describes seeing elephants from the window of his shack, his fear of a wet suit, says good bye.  Bird and elephant sounds.
