A man and a woman lie in bed together (they're clothed). A man has lipstick on his cheek.
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - A man punches a man in the face and he falls to the floor. A man collapses on the floor, pulls up his pant leg and we see badly inflamed varicose veins. A man has a nightmare about being unsuccessful, he wakes up with a start and we hear him vomiting in the bathroom. People get angry and frustrated while playing golf and several of them curse and fling their golf clubs. A woman steps into a street and is nearly hit by a car. A man on a bicycle chases a woman on a streetcar, he dodges pedestrians then crashes into a produce truck (he is not injured). A man falls backward out of a chair. A young boy appears sickly and we hear that he almost died as a baby and is allergic to everything. We read that a man suffers from a very painful spinal condition and that he died when he was 69. A golfer throws his club in anger and it hits a woman on the leg; she winces.
