Joe gives his account of the story of Joseph, father of Jesus: Mary is | |||
bright and witty while Joseph is hesitant and withdrawn; he feels that | |||
Mary betrayed him with God. He becomes a drunk and a tramp. | |||
Joseph resents Jesus's success, suspects his 'miracles' are tricks, is | |||
secretly happy at the crucifixion.<ref name=holy>re-used in [[Holy Land]] | |||

11:20: Joe tells us that God was following the example of previous | |||

12:40: Joe's mother, [[Friederike Frank | Frederika Frank]], tells the story of her unhappy | |||
marriage at age 18 to a 42-year-old man ([[Meier Langermann]]). He was wealthy while her father | |||
was a failure in business. She was unhappy in her family, | |||
disappointed that the boy she wanted to marry wouldn't marry her, she | |||
wanted to get out of the house. The rest of the family was happy | |||
because her husband's wealth would save the family's fortunes.<ref>He | |||
did get her, her mother, brother and sister and their families out | |||
before the war. Her brother took over the business when Mr Langermann | |||
died young, only 56, in 1943.</ref> She unconsciously fought off his | |||
unappealing advances, got sick skiing.<ref>They stayed at the Kulm Hotel in St. Moritz on their honeymoon.</ref><ref>Joe, their only child, | |||

30:10: Joe tells of driving in Midwest; he stops at motel, sleeps, | |||
gets up and leaves, thinking it's sunrise, but it's sunset, so he | |||
drives through the night. Avoiding a semi in his lane Joe drives off | |||
the road into a ditch, upside-down. He walks to a bar, chats up a | |||
woman who misses 7th-grade boyfriend, how much she likes bars. | |||
36:20: Joe tells of Adam & Eve from Adam's point-of-view.<ref name=holy /> | |||
47:30: Joe recounts last night's dream: a machine-gun nest in the | |||
balcony of an apartment building fires into a restaurant; no one seems | |||
to mind being shot. | |||
49:00: Joe's next dream: beautiful woman with long scarf | |||
riding in Tuscany in an expensive sports car with handsome Joe. | |||
49:30: Joe reads a medical journal, realizes carbon monoxide and | |||
Parmesan cheese is the solution to drought in Africa - so he rides to | |||
Mexico City with 1-armed Japanese woman driver. They drive into a | |||
tortilla factory, blowing it up. | |||
51: Joe asks us who we hang out with, asks if it's motorcycle guys or | |||
academics. | |||
51:40: Joe asks children's questions: where does the rain come from? | |||
why does a flower grow? how long is it until Christmas?… | |||
