Girl.....Rachel Dratch
[Scene: Psychiatrists office]
Guy: So what do you think doc?
Psychiatrist: Hmm. I'll tell you what. You see that window
over there?
Guy: Yeah.
Psychiatrist: That's your future.
Guy: Okay.
Psychiatrist: Now watch. I'm opening the window. You see.
Guy: I think so. So what you're saying is that I'm cured and
the future is open to me?
Psychiatrist: Exactly. Now I want you to climb out the window.
Guy: What?
Psychiatrist: Jimmy, Jimmy. Look. This is your problem. You're afraid to face the future. If you don't climb out that window, you're going to be stuck in the past forever.
Guy: But doctor. We're on the sixteenth floor.
Psychiatrist: Huh? (looks out window) Whoa! No hey, look I was
just kidding. Just a test. To see if you're insane in the membrane,
insane in the brain. You know what I mean? I get a lot of kooks walking into my office. Ha ha ha. You're alright Jimmy.
Guy: Alright. Doctor but really it's important. If I can't get
past this fear of flying I'm in big trouble. My new job pretty much
depends on it.
Psychiatrist: It's all about you isn't it Jimmy. I need to get
past MY fear or I'll lose MY job. Waah waaah. What about me Jimmy.
Did you ever consider how I might be feeling. This is like your
twelfth session and sure I've made a lot of money off of you but
frankly, it's not worth it. I mean usually I say 'How do u feel about
that.' or 'I see' and the patient eventually comes to some sort of
resolution on his own. Oh but not Jimmy. No, he's got all the
answers. There's not one damn traumatic event in your perfect little
life that we can pin this fear of flying on is there? Is there?
Guy: Not that I can think of...sorry.
Psychiatrist: Exactly. Bah, u’re trying to figure it out using
logic. x+y=10 solve for x and all that crap is your style. Well you
want to know the truth Jimmy. Flying is scary. U're 30,000 feet above
the ground in a piece of molded scrap metal traveling at a mind
boggling speed. A million things could go wrong Jimmy. A MILLION
THINGS! Boom crash, that's it Jimmy and there's not a damn thing u can
do about it. So suck it up princess and get on with your life. Now
get out of my sight.
Guy: Wow. You're good. I totally see now. Thanks Dr. U're
unorthodox but brilliant.
[Guy shakes Psychiatrists hand and then exits.]
Psychiatrist: What a nut! (into intercom on desk)Send in my
next patient.
[Enter Girl]
Girl: Hello Doctor, my name is Cynthia Glass. I’m here for my
11 o’clock.
Psychiatrist: (taken by her exposed clevage)Hello Cynthia,
please sit...er, lie down on the couch. So what seems to be the
problem.
[Psychiatrist stares at Cynthia’s cleavage the entire time.]
Girl: Well, I have a fear that I’m not being taken seriously at
work. It feels like all the men at work are just ogling me. I’ve
brought it up but everyone says I’m overreacting. I don’t know what to
do. Am I oversensitive?
Psychiatrist: What makes you think the men are ogling you?
Girl: I catch them looking at my breasts...just like you’re
doing!
Psychiatrist: What? I’m doing no such thing. Could you fold
your arms across your stomach. Now squeeze a bit...there we go.
Girl: What do you mean you’re not, you’re clearly staring right at
my cleavage as I’m talking to you.
Psychiatrist: Dear Cynthia. Of course that’s what it looks like
to you. You’re crazy. You suffer from a textbook case of Overactive
Cleavage Nervosa. Basically, you think guys are always looking at your
breasts even when they’re clearly not.
Girl: Doctor, I think you’re the crazy one. You haven’t stopped
looking at my breasts since I came in!
Psychiatrist: Oh really? (presses button on intercom)Doctor
Johanson, could you come in here a moment.
[enter Dr. Johanson]
[Dr. Johanson begins staring at Cynthia’s cleavage as well. Both
doctor’s maintain their stare throughout]
Psychiatrist: This lady believes I’ve been staring at her
breasts.
Dr. Johanson: Ridiculous!
Girl: What? You’re both doing it!
Dr. Johanson: Sounds like a case of Overactive Cleavage Nervosa
to me.
Psychiatrist: That’s what I thought. Thank you Dr. Johanason.
Dr. Johanson: Anytime. And I mean, anytime.
[Exit Dr. Johanson]
Psychiatrist: Well, you have a second opinion if you didn’t
believe me to begin with.
Girl: Omigosh. Maybe you’re right. What should I do Doctor?
Is there any cure?
Psychiatrist: I advise you to take a picture of yourself
topless...maybe wearing a black thong...try and do a sexy twist kinda
thing…no wait, have a mirror behind you, yes...and then distribute that
picture to all the males in the office. That way, you know that if the
males wanted to see your boobies, they’d have a picture already. That
should ease your anxiety.
Girl: Oh thank you doctor. You’ve given me my life back.
Psychiatrist: No problem. Hey, don’t forget to send me a copy!
(Cynthia leaves)What a rack! (presses button on intercom)Alright
Gladys, I’m going for lunch. What do you mean I have to see another
patient? Why is it important to see 3 patients before I go for lunch?
Rule of three? Gladys...you better book yourself an appointment. AFTER
LUNCH! (to self)Honestly, some people.
[Fade Out to Billy Joel’s ‘You may be right.’]
