PROBLEM: In one story, a goddess was persuaded by a fox to sleep with this figure, and she subsequently fathered eight gods who could cure eight different body parts. This deity was sometimes known as the "Lord of semen," and in one story his semen caused seven different types of plants to sprout from the earth. This figure asked a sun god to make footprints in the ground so that he could fill them with water, giving life to a barren island called Dilmun. This figure saved humanity by warning Atrahasis of a coming flood and, in another story, the misfortunes of humans were a result of a contest between this figure and Ninhursag. This figure causes a confusion of tongues in a speech to Enmerkar, and he was sometimes represented as half-goat and half-fish.

In this play, George is told to remember incidents such as when his father blamed Frank for giving him a bad tip about oil stock. The death of a character not seen in this play is not believed by his mother Kate due to the fact that November 25th was his most favorable day, but that belief is shattered when Ann gives her a letter revealing that Larry purposely crashed his plane after discovering that his father had covered up defects in engine cylinders for P-40s.
