 == Synopsis ==
+Joe goes fishing with his uncle Fred ([[Ryan Cutrona]]?) a week after
+Fred's retirement.  A fish pulls Fred into the water; his body is
+never recovered.  This made Joe reconsider his values.
+:50: The ma&icirc;tre d' of Le Dome shows Joe and his date to the
+employees' wash room, seats them on toilets; when Joe complains he
+smashes the water pitcher on the floor and demands to be taken to his
+mother.  On his way home, Joe reads a story in the paper of a surgeon
+taking out people's internal organs, replacing them with electronic
+gear.  At home, on the TV newscast, the anchorman shows palms with
+bleeding stigmata, the anchorwoman rips off her blouse, holds her
+breasts, gyrates; they report on a corporate takeover of the Vatican.
+:50: Joe switches to another channel; its news reports of
+animals, their habitat destroyed, have moved into cities and taken up
+crime.  A female reporter in the field talks to people who have been
+attacked by animals.
+:40: Joe calls up the woman in an apartment across the
+courtyard who is nude, upsetting Joe.  First he wants he to put
+clothes on, then to meet him, to have a relationship with him.  She's
+unsympathetic to Joe's distress and uninterested in meeting him.
+:50: Joe sees prostitute sheep in the street, a beggar fox.
+A nun from the Order of Infinite Charity in a limousine lures Joe off
+the street, forces herself on him.  They drop him off in the suburbs.
+:00: A marching band and float from the homecoming parade of
+Swinburne Agriculture and Mining College drives by.  The woman on the
+float asks Joe the way to the college: they've been lost for more than
+years.
+:20: Joe thinks of going into the map-making business; he wants to
+create life-size maps because they'd be more accurate.  Then he
+laments how formulae, analogous to maps, constrict our lives.  An old
+man stops; he's the fianc&eacute; of the woman on the float, he's
+looking for her.  She had given him a bouquet made of 2 sticks and a
+rock, which he still has.
+:20: Joe wonders why there is so much suffering and other
+philosophical matters.
+:20: Joe calls the woman across the courtyard again.
+Because she persists in refusing him, he shoots her.
+:10: Joe talks about the narrow border between order and
+chaos, wonders if we will save ourselves from ourselves.
+:00: Joe is now in the country (no mention of how he got
+there); feels great to be in nature.
+:40: Uncle Fred, happy to be about to retire, invites Joe to
+go fishing with him.
+:20: The nun tells Joe that this is what angels would do if
+they had bodies, tells Joe not to judge her.
+:00: The woman on the float calls to report a missing
+person: herself.
