Plot Outline:
Karen Postell Pepper1964-2003 Three middle-aged women stand outside a television studio waiting to be let in a session of Dr. Dave. As they are being let in one of the women starts getting a nose bleed. The other two women go in and leave the other woman outside to get her bleeding under control. She stands outside trying to manage it, but then collapses. Nate and Lisa are going camping with their friends Todd and Nina. Nate and Lisa seem to fight about every little detail before leaving to go camping. Once they get there, Nate wonders why they only have a 6-pack of beer. Lisa tells him they don't need to be drinking that much. Nate is saved because Todd brings a cooler-full of beer to the camp site. Ruth discovers Arthur uses a handkerchief and finds it refreshing that someone still uses them. Her and Arthur start talking about one of Arthur's favorite movies, Silent Running. It was playing at a local theater, but Arthur missed it. Later that night, Ruth tells Arthur that she picked up the movie at a movie store so they can watch it. Russell is dying Claire's hair in her bedroom. They seem to be getting much closer. After a bout of Olivier's criticism in art class, Russell gets very upset. Claire consoles him and they end up sleeping together. Afterwards, she discovers that it was Russell's first (and second) time. Federico has a very large body to work with. It requires a larger casket than usual. He gets Arthur to assist him, so they can get the casket and everything set up the night before the viewing. In the middle of the night, the whole house hears a huge booming crash. The body has fallen out of the casket. With several attempts, and much work, they finally get the body on a gurney. Ruth seems to be getting a bit odd around Arthur. She accidentally washes one of his handkerchiefs and goes to put it in his drawer. Before placing it in the drawer, she puts it to her face and inhales deeply.
