...parade and a talent show and later a wedding -- is O.K. by our Narrator. He wants us to observe the eccentric rhythms of people's minds and movements. A girl in a white dress careers down the empty highway, emitting bird cries, singing in her own language. Civic Leader Earl Culver (Spalding Gray) uses tomatoes and peppers to illustrate a dinner-table harangue on the fragmenting of capitalism; the lobster centerpiece revolves and glows.

...after day through the summer, Earl Simpson, of Monroe, N.C., got up with the sun and peered through the mist around his farm, vainly praying for rain. Ninety percent of his corn was lost. The wheat will come in about 30% of usual; soybeans will make a miserable 15%. "We can't go much longer unless something changes," Simpson says. Then he pauses and his face grows tender and sad. "They say the best product off a farm is the children." Earl's two sons, who farm with him, look down. Simpson will join the combine cavalcade, crops...
