Synopsis
Viva and Louis spend an afternoon in a Manhattan apartment. While lying on a bed, they discuss such topics as strychnine in drugs and whether it is responsible for hallucinations; the paintings of Franz Kline; Viva's concern about getting old; how athlete's foot and gonorrhea are contracted; and the possibility that they will get married. Louis removes Viva's clothes as well as his own, and they continue their discussions while they examine each other's bodies and have sexual intercourse. Later, Viva relates an incident in which she was stopped by police in East Hampton, Long Island, for not wearing a brassiere. They go on to discuss Mayor Lindsay of New York, the predicament of U. S. involvement in Vietnam, and the futility of war. Kneeling near the bed, they watch television for a while; they then get dressed. Viva prepares a meal; they discuss oral sex and Louis' unhappy marriage; and finally they move to the bathroom. Louis gets into the shower fully clothed, and Viva admits that she is "stoned." They disrobe and enjoy some sexual horseplay in and out of the bathtub until Viva looks at the camera, asks, "Is it on? Is it still on?" and flees.
