3. "Hey John Donne, where have you been?" A young lady has just yelled during her working in an immence garden where she is plucking the last of the fall squash. She is golden and proud, and her name is Jo. Our viewpoint has to stop from running over them now. Getting back to the ground is slow. On our way with wideness in the eye we have encountred a Basque house from the eighteen hundreds, old farm mach- inery obviously not in use, trucks and vans, old autos, and new cars that are strange to the setting. Yet the sounds of knowledge haven't left us; for the hound dogs, the sheep dogs, a coyote, and exactly two Saint Barnard dogs are upset as John says, "Jo; put whoever won't listen on the chain." We can do any angle we want, when Jo and John meat in the garden. "Where's the Beef?" "Run off; I'm pissed." Now we track like earning a living.

The film narrator approaches a Basque house and garden, where Jo calls to John Donne. Dogs interrupt the meeting, and an exchange about Beef precedes another tracking movement.

The narrator describes the camera's movement through a house, machinery, vehicles and dogs before focusing on Jo and John. The names belong to the scene and do not prove the identities of real people.

Film page '3.': Jo calls 'Hey John Donne, where have you been?' from 'an immence garden', the camera passes 'a Basque house from the eighteen hundreds', the dogs grow upset, and the exchange 'Where's the Beef?' / 'Run off; I'm pissed.' leads to 'Now we track like earning a living.'

The page sets the couple in their farm world just before the dog's absence becomes the story.
