== Synopsis ==
A woman talks about being disappointed with men who are either wimps or jerks, preferring the company of dogs, women, and gay friends, enjoying being alone.  Monologue by an actress with an Irish accent in the second person: She has found racy magazines in her dormer's room.  She accidentally read his journal, found it was about her.  She admits to having feelings for him. She sings Misty, is greeted with applause and thanks the band.  The woman from the start of the program, an ex-lover, leaves a long answering machine message combining angry accusations with a desperate party invitation.  The Irish singer calls her Agent to complain about her hotel, the venues she plays, and they argue.  An actress delivers a second person address: "you're the most beautiful man I've ever met," true love.  Answering machine message continued: she burns a photo, sets her sofa on fire, threatens suicide, says, "I know you're my soul mate."

23:00: 'Hi, this is Joe.  I'm not in right now.  Please leave a

23:20: Woman ([[Laura Esterman]]) leaves a series of messages on Joe's
answering machine.  She really wants to talk with Joe, becomes
increasingly desperate.<ref name=SoulMate />


== Commentary ==
37:40: The Irish singer, Maggie, calls her agent, Jimmy, ([[Larry Block]])

songs she sings.<ref>originally aired in [[Emerald Isle]] as 2 separate
segments, 31:10 and 45:10</ref>
