Male voice: PREVIOUSLY ON "IN TREATMENT"...
ANDREW GAVE ME AN ULTIMATUM--
EITHER WE GET MARRIED OR WE SPLIT.
Paul: DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHY ANDREW CHOSE THIS PARTICULAR TIME?
Laura: WE WERE HAVING DINNER AND HE SAID, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT.
I JUST KNOW I DON'T WANT THIS ON-AND-OFF THING."
SO I SAID TO HIM, "SURE," AND THEN, "LET'S JUST DECIDE."
SO YOU WERE THE ONE WHO CAME UP WITH IT?
NO NO NO, HE HAD THIS THING WITH THIS ON-AND-OFF--
THE ULTIM--
I LOVE YOU.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU FELT LIKE THIS?
A YEAR. YOU'VE BECOME THE CENTER OF MY LIFE.
LAURA, I'M YOUR THERAPIST.
I'M NOT AN OPTION.
( gurgling )
KATE?
( gurgling )
KATE?
WHAT?
CAN YOU COME HERE A MINUTE?
( sighs )
THIS THING IS-- THIS IS CLOGGED UP AGAIN.
CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR? CAN YOU CALL THE--
THE PLUMBER, TELL HIM TO COME OVER HERE,
GET IT FIXED?
I GOT A SESSION STARTING IN ABOUT A MINUTE.
OKAY, BUT YOU REALIZE HE WON'T BE ABLE TO COME TODAY,
RIGHT?
JUST HAVE YOUR PATIENTS GO TO THE DOWNSTAIRS BATHROOM.
OH CHRIST. YOU CAN'T BE BLOODY SERIOUS.
WHY NOT? WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
- IT DOESN'T MATTER, IT'S OKAY. - WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL?
THERE'S NO BIG DEAL. I'LL DO IT MYSELF. NEVER MIND.
I'LL GET DENNIS THAT HANDYMAN GUY TO COME OVER AND DO IT.
OH YEAH, WELL, GOOD. DENNIS WILL FIX IT.
AND THEN IT'LL JUST GET CLOGGED UP AGAIN NEXT WEEK.
IT'LL BE FINE, I PROMISE YOU.
WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?
THERE IS NOTHING THE MATTER WITH ME.
I'VE GOT A SESSION STARTING IN A MINUTE. PLEASE.
( dialing )
( sighs )
( chuckles )
OH, YOU'RE FINISHED WITH ME NOW? OKAY.
I FORGOT. I SHOULD GO.
( footsteps recede )
( knocking )
( theme music playing )
OKAY, SO I SAID YES.
TO ANDREW.
WE ALREADY SET A DATE.
IT'S GONNA BE THE THIRD WEEKEND IN JUNE.
YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY GETS MARRIED IN JUNE.
SO--
SO YOU'LL BE A SUMMER BRIDE.
EVIDENTLY SO.
WELL, CONGRATULATIONS.
THANK YOU.
SO ARE YOU HAPPY FOR US?
IS THAT IMPORTANT TO YOU?
WELL, IF YOU'RE GONNA BE A GUEST AT OUR WEDDING,
YOU'D BETTER BE HAPPY FOR US.
ANDREW AND I WANTED TO INVITE YOU.
YOUR WIFE TOO.
BUT YOU WOULDN'T COME, RIGHT? WOULD YOU?
NO, OF COURSE YOU WOULDN'T. BUT WE DID ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT IT YESTERDAY.
RIGHT AFTER I SAID YES WE STARTED MAKING A GUEST LIST
AND FOR A FEW MINUTES THERE YOU WERE ON IT.
WAIT A MINUTE, YOU SAID YES
JUST YESTERDAY?
YEAH. I COULDN'T MAKE UP MY MIND.
IT TOOK ME A FEW DAYS TO GET OVER THE OTHER NIGHT AND OUR SESSION.
I, UH-- I WANTED TO CALM DOWN FIRST.
ANDREW WAS COOL WITH THAT. HE SAID A DAY HERE OR THERE WOULDN'T MATTER
AS LONG AS I WAS MOVING TOWARD A DECISION.
YOU KNOW, HE'S VERY HAPPY THAT YOU'RE HELPING ME.
FOR A WHILE THERE HE THOUGHT HE'D MADE A MISTAKE
RECOMMENDING THAT I COME SEE YOU. HE SAID THAT.
BUT HE THINK YOU'RE AN AMAZING THERAPIST
AND THAT HIS INSTINCTS WERE JUST RIGHT
AND THAT YOU'RE ON OUR SIDE.
WHAT?
( sighs ) I GUESS I'M--
I'M JUST TRYING TO GET USED TO--
TO THE CHANGE IN TONE.
YOU'RE SPEAKING IN THE PLURAL.
WELL, I'M GONNA BE A "WE,"
AN "US," AREN'T I?
YOU SAY THAT LIKE YOU'RE NOT SO SURE.
NO, I'M SURE.
YOU KNOW, PAUL, I'M-- I'M GENERALLY OPEN TO YOUR INTERPRETATIONS,
BUT RIGHT NOW IT JUST SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO BE A BIT OF A--
KILLJOY?
KILLJOY, YES, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO DON'T.
ESPECIALLY SINCE JOY IS A VERY RARE THING WHEN IT COMES TO ME.
WHAT?
I'M--
I'M JUST WONDERING IF YOU CAME HERE TODAY
DETERMINED TO, UH,
DEMONSTRATE THAT JOY,
ESPECIALLY AFTER LAST WEEK'S EVENTS.
I'M ASKING MYSELF
IF THIS ISN'T A BIT TOO FAST,
IF YOU HAVEN'T PERHAPS TAKEN A SHORTCUT.
YOU THINK THAT I'M FAKING THIS?
THAT I'M ACTUALLY TOTALLY DEPRESSED?
WELL, MAYBE IT'S YOU THAT'S FAKING IT, HUH?
I MEAN, THAT CONGRATULATIONS WAS A BIT LABORED, DON'T YOU THINK?
I--
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SCUBA DIVING?
THEY HAVE THIS THING THAT'S CALLED THE BENDS.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS WHEN THE DIVERS
COME UP TO THE SURFACE TOO QUICKLY. IT'S REALLY DANGEROUS.
IT CAN EXPLODE YOUR LUNGS
FROM THE SUDDEN CHANGES IN PRESSURE.
ANYWAY IT-- IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S--
THERE'S A HUGE GAP BETWEEN
THE DEPTHS THAT YOU REACHED LAST WEEK
AND THE HEIGHTS
AT WHICH YOU ARE TODAY. I'M JUST TRYING TO--
I'M JUST TRYING TO ADJUST MYSELF
SO THAT I DON'T, I GUESS,
COME TO THE SURFACE TOO QUICKLY.
( laughs )
DO YOU DIVE, PAUL?
YES.
I-- WELL, WE USED TO.
OOH, WHO'S SPEAKING IN THE PLURAL NOW?
( chuckles )
I CAN'T IMAGINE YOU DIVING.
( laughs )
WHERE'D YOU GO? MEXICO?
THE CARIBBEAN?
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SCUBA DIVING?
I'M A CERTIFIED DIVER.
I KNOW WHAT THE BENDS ARE.
SORRY.
NO, SERIOUSLY, I DOVE A LOT BEFORE I MET ANDREW.
HE-- HE HATES IT.
IT'S CLAUSTROPHOBIC.
IT'S NICE TO FIND WE HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON, YOU AND ME.
ISN'T IT?
WHERE ARE YOU NOW, LAURA?
I JUST HAD A SCARY THOUGHT. I JUST--
I KNOW IT'S SILLY, BUT...
BEFOREHAND WHEN YOU SAID YOUR--
YOUR LUNGS COULD EXPLODE,
I DON'T KNOW, IT'S JUST THE THOUGHT THAT SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN TO YOU.
YET YOU'RE THE ONE WHO ASCENDED SO FAST.
YOU KNOW WHAT, PAUL? I DON'T WANT A DEPRESSING SESSION.
I WANT A HAPPY SESSION. I CAME WITH GOOD NEWS,
SO SHOW A LITTLE SUPPORT.
OKAY.
OKAY, YESTERDAY I WAS AT NATALIE'S--
YOU KNOW, ANDREW'S EX-- AND GARY THE HUSBAND,
THE ONES WHO HAD A BABY A FEW MONTHS AGO--
AND THEY KEEP CALLING, YOU KNOW, TO INVITE US OVER
AND I KEEP AVOIDING THEM.
BUT YESTERDAY WHEN THEY CALLED TO INVITE US OVER FOR BRUNCH--
WELL, ANYWAY, GARY MAKES DIM SUM.
I SWEAR, PAUL, HE HAS THOSE BAMBOO STEAMERS AND EVERYTHING.
SO I SAID TO ANDREW, "OKAY, LET'S GO."
I MEAN, HE'S BEING SO SWEET TO ME ALL WEEK,
I THOUGHT THIS IS THE LEAST I COULD DO.
SO HIS AGREEING TO POSTPONE THE ULTIMATUM,
THAT DIS-- DISARMED YOU?
( sighs )
ALL RIGHT. GO AHEAD.
THEY HAVE A BABY, THESE HUGE EYES.
I MEAN, THE BABY IS-- THE BABY'S ALL EYES. SO BEAUTIFUL.
AND THE WAY HE BREASTFEEDS--
ALL MORNING HE WAS ATTACHED TO NATALIE'S NIPPLE.
THIS-- THIS HUGE DARK NIPPLE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT IN MY LIFE.
AND AT ONE POINT SHE TOOK HER BOOB OUT OF THE BABY'S MOUTH
AND SQUEEZED IT AND SOME MILK SQUIRTED OUT.
AND I LOOK OVER AT ANDREW AND HE HAS THIS ADMIRING SMILE ON HIS FACE.
YOU KNOW, LIKE HE WAS LOOKING AT SOME MASTERPIECE IN A MUSEUM,
LIKE "THE MADONNA."
WHAT DO YOU THINK HE SAW?
MAYBE AN IMAGE OF YOU AND HE TOGETHER IN THE FUTURE, MAYBE?
OR MAYBE HE JUST MISSES HER TITS.
NO, NOT REALLY. THEY'RE NOT THAT NICE.
( chuckles )
SHE'S CHANGED A LOT SINCE SHE HAD THE BABY.
IN WHAT WAY?
I DON'T KNOW. I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW HER BEFORE,
BUT ANDREW TOLD ME A LOT ABOUT HER.
HE SAID SHE WAS THIS WILD TYPE, YOU KNOW,
WHO HAD A LOT OF GUYS CHASING HER.
SHE PUT HIM THROUGH HELL.
HE SAID THEY'D GO TO BED AND SHE'D BE ONE PERSON
AND THEN THEY'D WAKE UP AND SHE'D BE SOMEONE TOTALLY NEW.
A FREE RADICAL, THAT'S WHAT HE USED TO CALL HER.
HE SAYS I REMIND HIM OF HER.
HMM.
THAT'S SCARY. LIKE THIS IS WHAT'S LEFT OF HER.
THE FRONT OF HER T-SHIRT SOAKING WET
AND NIPPLES-- NIPPLES-- THAT'S ALL THAT'S LEFT.
SHE'S LIKE A WILD ANIMAL THAT'S SOMEHOW BEEN--
SHIT, WHAT'S THE WORD?
DOMESTICATED?
YEAH, DOMESTICATED. SHE LOOKED DOMESTICATED--
HOUSEBROKEN.
SHE SAID HER WILDEST SEXUAL FANTASY
WAS TO SLEEP FOUR HOURS STRAIGHT.
( clears throat )
- DOES THAT SCARE YOU A LITTLE? - OH MY GOD.
I'D DIE IF I TURNED INTO A LOUSY LAY.
YOU KNOW, SOMEONE WHO GETS FUCKED IN HER SLEEP AND CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER.
DO YOU THINK THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE AFTER THEY GET MARRIED?
I DON'T KNOW. DOES IT?
IS SEX SOMETHING YOU FORGET HOW TO DO, OR IS IT LIKE RIDING A BIKE?
I THINK THAT DEPENDS ON THE--
ON THE COUPLE.
OF COURSE, SEX
CAN BE A SUBTERFUGE.
- IT CAN-- - PAUL.
OKAY.
( laughs )
SO ANYWAY, WHEN I GO-- I GO TO THE KITCHEN TO HELP OUT WITH SOMETHING.
AND WHEN I COME BACK ANDREW AND GARY ARE ENGROSSED IN THIS DEEP CONVERSATION
ABOUT-- YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS-- UPHOLSTERERS.
THERE'S THIS UPHOLSTERER WHO REDID THEIR ENTIRE LIVING ROOM.
ANDREW'S TAKING DOWN THE GUY'S NUMBER AND I'M LIKE, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
AND HE SAID, "WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU AND I DISCUSSED,
YOU KNOW, RECOVERING THOSE ARMCHAIRS YOUR DAD GAVE YOU."
I'M TELLING YOU, PAUL, WE NEVER DISCUSSED THIS.
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ANDREW'S REUPHOLSTERING ARMCHAIRS?
I MEAN, WE'RE TALKING METROSEXUAL.
UM, THAT DOESN'T SOUND VERY MUCH LIKE
THE ANDREW THAT YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT.
EXACTLY.
I MEAN, THIS WAS BEYOND METROSEXUAL.
DO YOU EVER WATCH "THE ANIMAL PLANET"?
YEAH, WELL IT WAS ABOUT THIS TYPE OF BIRD.
I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF IT, BUT ANYWAY,
THE MALE BIRD BUILDS A NEST FOR THE FEMALE--
YOU KNOW, THESE AMAZINGLY INTRICATE STRUCTURES.
THEY'RE INCREDIBLE.
ANYWAY, THE FEMALE GOES FROM NEST TO NEST,
YOU KNOW, CHECKING OUT ALL HER VARIOUS MATING OPTIONS,
TRYING TO MAKE UP HER MIND,
WHILE THE MALE BIRD IS DESPERATELY FLAPPING ABOUT,
YOU KNOW, AND TRYING TO ATTRACT THE FEMALE WITH HIS ARCHITECTURE.
YOU KNOW, THE NESTS LOOK LIKE CAGES.
ANYWAY...
THE WHOLE WAY HOME, I THOUGHT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FIGHT THIS ANYMORE.
SO WHEN WE GOT NEAR THE HOUSE
WE-- WE WERE ABOUT TO PARK AND ANDREW SAID TO ME,
"DO YOU WANT TO GO TO THE MOVIES OR STAY HOME?"
AND I SAID--
I SAID, "YES."
AND HE SAYS, "YES, THE MOVIES?" AND I SAID, "YES,
I'LL-- I'LL MARRY YOU.
YES. I MEAN, FUCK IT.
FUCK, I'LL MARRY YOU. YES."
HMM.
SO WHERE DO YOU THINK THIS
"FUCK IT, YES," CAME FROM
WHEN EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE BEEN SAYING TO ANDREW,
EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING FOR THAT PAST FEW WEEKS
HAS ACTUALLY BEEN ONE BIG NO?
MEANING WHAT? YOU THINK ANDREW TOOK ME THERE
AS SOME SORT OF OBJECT LESSON?
TO SHOW ME HOW GOOD IT COULD BE FOR US? 'CAUSE I DON'T THINK SO.
I MEAN, ANDREW'S A PRETTY MEDIOCRE PSYCHOLOGIST.
( chuckles )
WOULD YOU LISTEN TO ME. I JUST SAID YES
AND I'M ALREADY BAD-MOUTHING MY FUTURE HUSBAND.
YOU DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION, LAURA.
WHERE DID THIS YES COME FROM?
YOU REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I SAID YES TO HIM?
IT WAS BECAUSE YOU SAID NO TO ME.
BECAUSE-- BECAUSE I SAID NO TO YOU?
I MEAN, THE WHOLE SITUATION IS JUST ONE BIG FUCKING NO.
I'M NOT BLAMING YOU. I'M NOT ACCUSING YOU. I'M JUST...
DID YOU EXPECT A DIFFERENT REACTION?
IN YOUR FANTASY...
HOW WOULD I RESPOND TO YOU SAYING
THAT YOU ARE, UM, LET'S SAY,
"IN LOVE WITH ME"?
FIRST OF ALL, TAKE THE QUOTATION MARKS
OFF THE "IN LOVE WITH ME."
IT'S INSULTING.
AND STOP WITH THE FANTASY TALK,
BECAUSE FANTASIES ARE FOR SILLY LITTLE GIRLS.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT REALITY, PAUL,
WHICH IS THAT I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU.
- BUT I STILL-- - THAT'S REALITY.
I STILL WANT TO TALK ABOUT FANTASIES
FOR A MINUTE.
NOT THE FANTASY OF A SILLY LITTLE GIRL,
BUT THE FANTASY OF A GROWN SMART WOMAN.
OH PLEASE, LET'S NOT DO THAT. THAT'S BENEATH MY DIGNITY.
WELL, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING BENEATH OUR DIGNITY
IF IT TAKES US SOMEPLACE OUR DIGNITY REFUSES TO GO.
( sighs )
YOU REMEMBER THAT STORY YOU TOLD ME
ABOUT THAT SUMMER WHEN YOU WERE 15 YEARS OLD IN SAN DIEGO?
THAT COUPLE YOU LIVED WITH, THE ONES WHO HAD NO CHILDREN,
DAVID AND CELIA?
YOU SAID THAT SUMMER WAS--
WAS VERY SIGNIFICANT TO YOU.
OH MY GOD.
MY MOTHER HAD JUST DIED, PAUL.
OF COURSE IT WAS SIGNIFICANT. WHAT'S THE POINT IN REHASHING ALL THIS?
I MEAN, MY MOTHER DIED AND I WAS VERY LUCKY
TO HAVE SOMEBODY TAKING ME IN FOR A FEW MONTHS. I MEAN, SO?
I JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT PERIOD FOR A LITTLE BIT IF YOU DON'T MIND.
YOUR-- YOUR MOTHER WAS GONE.
YOUR MOTHER WAS YOUR LAST WALL OF PROTECTION
AGAINST YOUR FATHER-- FROM YOUR FATHER'S-- HOW DID YOU PUT IT?
- UH... - TOXIC FUMES.
TOXIC FUMES, YES.
HIS LONELINESS, HIS FEARS, HIS DEPENDENCY ON YOU.
YOU SAID THAT HE'D CALL YOU UP IN CALIFORNIA
AND SAY HOW UNHAPPY HE WAS
AND HOW MUCH HE MISSED YOUR MOTHER
AND BEGGING YOU TO CUT YOUR VACATION SHORT AND COME BACK HOME.
WHAT'S THIS GOT TO DO WITH ANYTHING?
YOU TOOK A LIKING TO THESE PEOPLE WHO WERE
ATHLETIC AND HEALTHY
AND THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF YOUR PARENTS IN EVERY WAY.
AND YOU DESCRIBED DAVID VERY VIVIDLY.
AND YOU SAID HE WAS VERY KIND TO YOU.
YEAH, YOU KNOW, HE USED TO TAKE ME CAMPING.
WE'D-- WE'D GO SURFING;
USED TO JUST TALK ABOUT STUFF, YOU KNOW?
TEENAGE BULLSHIT.
YOU--
YOU WERE VERY ATTRACTED TO HIM.
HE WAS A HUNK, YEAH.
HE LOOKED LIKE NICK NOLTE.
THEY SMOKED A LOT OF GRASS.
I SMOKED WITH THEM. IT WAS MY FIRST TIME.
AND...
WHEN THAT SUMMER WAS OVER,
THEY SAID IT WAS A SHAME THEY COULDN'T ADOPT YOU.
THEY SAID, "WE WANT A DAUGHTER JUST LIKE YOU."
YEAH, I ACTUALLY ASKED THEM TO SEE IF IT WAS POSSIBLE.
IF THERE WAS SOME LEGAL WAY TO-- ANYWAY, THEY JUST LAUGHED AT ME.
THEY DIDN'T TAKE ME SERIOUSLY.
THEY SAID I WAS SO CUTE.
ACTUALLY, I WANTED HIM TO ADOPT ME.
SHE WAS GREAT-- CELIA. BUT, YOU KNOW, I WAS 15.
I WANTED HIM ALL TO MYSELF.
HMM.
MAKES A LOT OF SENSE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
YOU WERE 15 YEARS OLD,
YOUR FATHER WAS GRIEVING,
COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON YOU.
DAVID MUST HAVE SEEMED LIKE A LIFE RAFT.
JUST AS JUST PERHAPS I AM NOW
FROM ANDREW.
PERHAPS I'M AN ALTERNATIVE TO EVERYTHING THAT ANDREW REPRESENTS--
DEPENDENCY, ANXIETY.
BUT I AM NOT A REALISTIC OPTION FOR YOU, LAURA.
THIS IS A SAFE PLACE WHERE YOU CAN COME,
LIKE DAVID AT THE BEACH.
- YES, BUT WITH ONE BIG DIFFERENCE. - WHAT'S THAT?
I DON'T WANT YOU TO ADOPT ME, I WANT YOU TO FUCK ME.
I NEED TO PEE.
OH, THERE'S--
THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE--
( chuckles ) WITH THE THING.
THE-- IT'S-- IT'S BLOCKED UP.
I JUST CALLED--
I'M GONNA CALL THE HANDYMAN.
OKAY. WELL THEN, MAY I?
UH, WELL...
WE'RE-- WE'RE ALMOST OUT OF TIME, SO...
WHAT ARE WE, CAMPING? I NEED TO PEE.
I MEAN, WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL? I'M VERY CLEAN.
I WON'T MESSY YOUR BATHROOM.
ACTUALLY, I PREFER MY PATIENTS TO USE THE--
BUT YOU JUST SAID THAT THE TOILET OVERFLOWED.
WHY DON'T WE JUST FINISH UP FOR TODAY?
I CAN OWE YOU THE 10 MINUTES WHEN YOU COME BACK NEXT WEEK.
WHAT, YOU'RE AFRAID YOUR WIFE WILL SEE ME?
OR THAT I'LL SEE HER?
IS SHE EVEN HOME NOW? I MEAN, WHAT IS SHE,
SITTING ON THE COUCH WITH ROLLERS IN HER HAIR DRINKING BEER?
LAURA, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY WIFE.
OKAY FINE, FORGET IT, IF IT FREAKS YOU OUT THAT MUCH.
( sighs )
WELL...
I BET THAT DIDN'T COME UP IN MED SCHOOL, DID IT?
HMM?
"WHAT TO DO IN THE FOLLOWING SITUATION--
A PATIENT IN LOVE WITH THE THERAPIST ASKS TO USE THE BATHROOM.
THE BATHROOM IS OUT OF ORDER.
THE PATIENT THEN ASKS TO ENTER THE THERAPIST'S HOME.
WHAT SHOULD THE THERAPIST DO?"
- LAURA, I'M SORRY IF-- - THE CORRECT ANSWER IS
IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE THERAPIST FEELS TOWARDS HIS PATIENT.
LAURA, I CAN SEE THAT YOU MIGHT INTERPRET THIS AS--
DON'T INTERPRET, PAUL. I'VE HAD IT UP TO HERE
WITH YOUR FUCKING INTERPRETATIONS.
YOU KNOW WHAT KILLS ME?
THAT NO MATTER WHAT I SAY OR DO, YOU SEE EVERYTHING AS MORE PROOF
THAT NOTHING IS GOING ON HERE.
YOU TURN ME INTO A 15-YEAR-OLD WHO ISN'T TAKEN SERIOUSLY,
A SILLY LITTLE GIRL
WHO PEOPLE JUST PAT ON THE HEAD AND SAY, "ISN'T SHE CUTE?"
- YOU KNOW, THE-- - STOP PATRONIZING ME, PAUL.
LOOK, I KNOW WHEN I TURN SOMEBODY ON.
OKAY?
YOU KNOW WHAT I THOUGHT OF YOU THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU?
- WHAT? - I THOUGHT YOU LOOKED LIKE A DEAD MAN.
I THOUGHT, BENEATH THAT PROFESSIONAL EXTERIOR
IS A MAN WHO STOPPED LIVING.
I WANTED TO TAKE YOUR HEART IN MY HANDS
AND JUST PUMP LIFE INTO IT.
MAYBE THAT'S YOUR SENSE OF--
OF WHAT HAPPENS TO MARRIED PEOPLE,
THAT THEY JUST STOP LIVING.
MAYBE YOU'RE AFRAID THAT'S WHAT'LL HAPPEN IF YOU MARRY ANDREW.
JUST MY BEING HERE HAS BROUGHT YOU BACK TO LIFE.
- LAURA, LET'S-- - YEAH.
I KNEW YOU'D DENY IT.
I MEAN, HOW COULD SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN TO YOU, HMM?
BUT IT DID HAPPEN. I KNOW IT HAPPENED AND YOU KNOW IT HAPPENED.
- WHAT HAPPENED, LAURA? - ME AND YOU, PAUL.
WE HAPPENED.
AND ALL THE THOUGHTS THAT YOU HAVE
BEFORE YOU FALL ASLEEP NEXT TO YOUR WIFE HAPPENED.
AHEM. I THINK WE'RE OUT OF TIME FOR TODAY, LAURA.
WHY DON'T WE TALK ABOUT THIS NEXT WEEK
WHEN YOU-- WHEN YOU COME BACK?
JUST TELL ME.
I-- I THINK YOU OWE IT TO ME.
DO YOU WANT ME?
- I-- - JUST--
JUST A SIMPLE YES OR NO.
NO.
