''"Can you believe that I had to wear my brother's hand me down jacket?"'' | |||
'' | '''Soul Mate''' is a program Joe Frank produced as part of the series [[In The Dark]]. It was originally broadcast in [[:Category:1994|1994]]. | ||
''' | == Synopsis == | ||
Woman ([[Laura Esterman]]) complains she had to wear her brother's | |||
hand-me-down jackets instead of having blazers of her own. She goes on to | |||
complain about men generally, dislikes all kinds. She explains why | |||
she's happier alone. | |||
6:20: 'Hi, this is John. I'm not in right now. Please leave a | |||
message at the sound of the beep.' (Joe's voice, 'Funky worm' is the | |||
background music.) | |||
6:40: She leaves a series of messages on John's answering machine. She | |||
wants to talk, becomes increasingly desperate. | |||
9:40: She tells John she's the only one who really understands him, | |||
offers to let him live with her for free, protests how much she loves | |||
him. She says she can't go on without him. | |||
13:10: She tells of going to a cocktail party. All the other guests | |||
were married, but their relationships were meaningless compared to her | |||
& John's. | |||
15:30: She speculates that John's listening to her messages, that he's | |||
in bed with another woman, says she'd kill them. She threatens to | |||
stake out his home, then curses him out. | |||
18:00: She says she's dreamed about finding a soulmate, failed until | |||
she found John, that they're soulmates for life, they'll never find | |||
another, that they can't give it up, can't live without each other. | |||
20:30: She gets his picture out of the mirror, describes it, sets it | |||
on fire, sets her sofa on fire. She calls him frightened, selfish, | |||
closed-off. She calls him her soulmate. | |||

== | == Commentary == | ||
The mood of this is similar to her performance in [[Thank You, You're Beautiful]]. | |||
I wonder if they weren't recorded in 1 session. I | |||
can imagine a show made of them.[[User:Arthur Peabody|Arthur Peabody]] ([[User talk:Arthur Peabody|talk]]) 04:23, 1 August 2023 (PDT) | |||
