Endnote 316: Logan filming-trip pickups
Like e.g. the times C.T. and the Moms would come out to Logan to pick Mario and Himself up from a filming trip, Mario lugging gear, Himself damp and pasty from the cabin pressure and not enough leg-room and his sportcoat pockets always clicking with little plastic bottles with unopenable caps
Context
The screen's catch, glossing 154's line about Tavis being "unnerved into such gregarity around Mario it's awkward for all parties". The filmmaking career glimpsed as family logistics: father and son flying home from location work, Mario as the two-man crew's gear-mule — the same crew The Joke's audience read as "a tall stooped old guy" and a head-mounted boy (085) here reduced to lugging duty at the airport. And Himself's sportcoat pockets "always clicking with little plastic bottles with unopenable caps": the drinking-and- pills travels with the filmography, one carry-on among the gear. The rest of the note (C.T.'s "Opheliac mad monologue" in the car grinding Himself's teeth until there's "white dental visible grit" in the throw-up) is family-dynamics texture with no optics content — left.
