As opening night approaches, Arthur describes to his therapist his celibate relationship with a student at Columbia. Holding off having sex shows maturity, Arthur reflects. Life can be viewed like eggs, says the therapist. Optimists see the world sunny-side up; pessimists -- or latent existentialists -- see it as scrambled.

Playwright Arthur Banks awakes in the bedroom of a girl he suspects is underage. Panicked, he flees out the window, and makes a phone call. "I think I pulled a Polanski," says Arthur.
