Is there video footage of. . . .
The Flying Man wooing Marilyn with the scarf? Such a beautiful moment and truly the most erotic scene ever.

I feel sorry for you that you couldn't grasp the loveliness or the eroticism of the scene. I first saw it in a film class in college. The professor's assessment, and the class's reaction, soooooo different from yours.

Yes, you'll be fine. Ignorance, for some, truly is bliss.

What do you think the director's intent was? I think he realized it fully. Bill Irwin was brilliant in that scene. You don't get it? Fine. Move on.

There's more than one way to woo a lady. In fact, there may be as many ways as there are women.
The Flying Man wasn't presented as a weirdo. He's a visitor to a community of atypical people; he fits in almost seamlessly. The only person who blinks at the Flying Man's abilities is, per usual, Joel, who was always the outsider.

Not one of them? Only according to you. I don't know a woman who didn't love that scene.
Weird? Only to you and Joel. The delightfully quirky residents of Cicely don't question Enrico Balati's talents or character.

Of course you do. You know plenty of outsiders. You are an outsider when it comes to this show.
I am a woman and I remember how popular that particular episode was with all of my female friends and classmates.
Maurice would find Enrico fascinating and advertise that Cicely has its very own Flying Man. When Chris was sad that someone had thrown a cow, Maurice didn't tell him that the very idea was crazy; he told him to stick to his dreams and just throw something else.
You really don't get the show. Stick to less cerebral fare. My guess is you would do fine with formulaic action crap.

Exploit Cicely? No, Maurice promoted the town because he had a vision for its future. He'd be exploiting Enrico to promote Cicely. Get it? I'm not sure you do.
How could I be expecting too much of the show if I wasn't disappointed with the writing, direction, and acting? The fact is the writers expected more of you or any audience member that struggles with the intent of the scene.
FYI - looked at your posting history and you do seem to have a taste for the formulaic. BTW, Daniel Day-Lewis played Dracula to great acclaim on the stage. He could've had Oldman's role if he wanted it. He turned it down.
We're wasting each other's time.
Good-bye.
