Other than Lily Tomlin walking off while Chad Everette talks about his "favorite possession," his wife, this also includes Char reading one of his poems and trying to make literary talk with Auden: "Do you watch a lot of television?" "Nevah." "Then where do you get ideas from?"
Auden was about to move to Oxford, where he said he'd be "looked in on." If he collapsed in his incredibly shabby NY apartment no one would have been able to find him in all that legendary mess. However, his residence at Oxford didn't last very long after he was burgled by a "nice young gardener" he'd given access to his cottage.
