The next segment alternates between scenes from a play and a panel discussion of the same play. The play is by the (fictional) playwright "Joseph Molka" and is about a man and a woman's clumsy "date" in an unnamed city in the midst of a terrible plague outbreak. The man and woman meet in an art museum and have a playful exchange, and it is established the man is a visitor from out of town. The woman, whose name is "Jo" is a local resident and in a bit of exposition tells about the fatal plague which she treats largely as an inconvenience. A stranger accosts the couple and as he talks becomes progressively more agitated and irrational- this is the effect of the plague. The couple escapes the museum. | The next segment alternates between scenes from a play and a panel discussion of the same play.
