"Here I am." "No, no, no." "We filled that job." "Got a full house." "Sorry." "Well, you're making a big mistake here." "I'm a precision machine, man." "I can do twice the work of any of these guys, I swear." "Great." "I'll alert the media." " The media." "The media." "The media." " The media." "Yeah." "East coast, uh..." "New York, upstate..." "Yeah." "Uh, Syracuse." "Where?" "I'm from binghamton." "Binghamton!" "I was close?" " What?" " I don't believe this." "Look... come here." "Listen." "This first day I work for free." " I give it to you." " It's a gift." "Second day, you pay me for two days." "Third day, I have your job." "One day!" "One day!" "All right." "One day." " Start upstairs on the roof." " Thanks, you're a good man." "Binghamton." "Man, I'm embarrassed." "Hell... fuckin'... where do I go, man?" "Give me a job." "Uh, work with him." "Okay." "Hey, guys!" "What's your name, man?" " Howard." "What's yours?" "" "¶ Choo, choo, choo, choo ¶" " what the fuck are you doin'?" " Seven kids." " Right." " Right." "You got it." "Boys?" "Girls?" " Five girls, two boys." " Oh, that's great, man." "That's great." "Congratulations." "All right." "A lot of mouths to feed there." "And you got that right." "Yeah." "Take 'em all out to dinner." " Do that." " So, what is this?" "I just found it on the street." "It's a hundred dollars." "Just take 'em out to dinner." "I'm not takin' your money." "Really!" "This is..." "I'll tell you what happened." "Tell you what happened." "This is the truth." "I'm walking down the street." "I look down in the gutter, and there it is just sitting there." "I bend down to pick it up." "A voice comes out of nowhere and says, "give it to Howard."" "I don't know a Howard till I come here today." "It must be you." "Your lucky day." " I'm not taking your money, man." " Oh, take the money, man." "It's not a big deal." "Take it for the kids." "Take 'em to dinner... couple of big macs."

"No goddamn reason why not, Howard." "Hey, what are you doin', man?" "Now, if you look at the situation here, what we got here is we got a roof, 75-degree pitch, which is very nice." " Now," " Uh, I wouldn't go no further, man!" "What we're lookin' for here is a balance." "All we got to do is find a little..." "Equilibrium." "We got the westerlies comin' in... 14, 15 Miles an hour!" "Come on." "Step back here, man." "Howard, let me tell you something, man." "This is basic physics, okay?" "All you got to do is find a little equilibrium here." "Some equilibrium and a little balance!" "All right, gimme a rope, somebody." "Gimme a rope, gimme a rope, gimme a rope." "Equilibrium." "Balance, Howard." "Lots of balance." "Balance." "Balance." " Yes, indeed." "Yes, indeed." " Balance..." "The force of the thrust against the drag!" "And then you get liftoff."

"I'm gonna fly!" "Howard." "Look at me, man." "Look at me." "Okay, Howard." "This is what we're gonna do, man." "This what we're gonna do." "We're gonna fly down, come around the front of the ambulance, come around the back." "I'm gonna land right on that bed." "In fact, I'm gonna go around it three times and then let down on it." "So just move the bed around a little bit!" "I'll slide right in!" "You're late." "You're later." "She'll be mad." "I'm terrified." "The psychiatric emergency room is closed almost daily..." "Because of the staff cuts." "The situation here..." "Is also dire." "Our unofficial policy..." "Is evaluate, medicate, vacate." "Sound cold-blooded?" "It is." "They need the treatment and we need the beds." "At this point, I'd like to turn you over to two of my staff," "Dr. Elizabeth bowen and Dr. Patrick shea." "They'll show you around the facilities." "I trust you'll enjoy your visit." "Thank you." " Good morning." " Good afternoon." "In the years 1970 to 1975, four U.S. mental hospitals..." "I must speak!" "Okay!" "Uh, that was our good friend, Mr. Wilson." "Dr. Bowen and I will be going on rounds, so if you'd like to follow us, please." "Come in!" "Move around there." "Let everyone in." "Don't be shy." "He won't bite, we hope." "What have we got here?" "Okay, we have a male Caucasian." "He's approximately 35, was brought in by the police." "Uh, he was doing a high-wire act on a roof." "When he came in he was highly agitated, delusional, having auditory hallucinations." " Has anyone examined him yet?" " The resident on duty made..." "A preliminary diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia." " What did they give him?" " Haldol, 10 milligrams." "That's pretty heavy." "Seems to have worked." "All right, this is a new patient." "What's the first thing we do?" "Assess the patient's orientation." "Very good." "Very good." "Elizabeth... can you tell me your name?" " Hmm?" " No name?" "No history." "No one on the job knew him." "Do you know what day this is?" "What?" "Jo..." "Jones." " What did he say?" " I think he said "Jones."" "His name is Jones." " Hi." " Hi." "Um..." "I'm so glad to see you." "What did you do to your hair?" "You look great!" "You look wonderful." " Thanks." "Is this a bad time?" " No, no." "The painting's in the bedroom and... oh!" "You have... you have some mail." "Libbie... this is June." "Hi." "It's so nice to meet you." "You know, it's been six months, libbie." "I just thought it was time you should meet her." "Why don't you take your crap out of the medicine cabinet while you're at it." "All right." "Okay." "You're a robot." "Did you know that?" " I can't hear you." " You're not a..." "Real person." "Only a mutant would pull a stunt like this." "What, are you talking to yourself, libbie?" "Yeah." "I'm talking to myself." "It's fantastic!" "Who would have ever thought..." "That I would be on the Johnny Carson show." "I mean, did you know when I was born, I didn't even..." " Have a name till I was three years old?" "" "Why?" "Because my father, who is this, like, really rigid old Chinese guy, he told me that when I was little, uh, there's this old ancient Chinese tradition..." "Where the unborn child knows its name before it's even born, right?" "So the parents listen for it, and they try to get the name." "But, obviously in my case, they couldn't hear it." "It's not like they weren't listening." "It's just that... it was more like on purpose." "Uhhuh." "And my mother wanted to name me, uh, Miranda..." "Because she used to like to dress with fruit and stuff." " I mean, hats, hats!" " I don't understand all these hats!" "But she couldn't say Miranda because it was "milanda" and that didn't come out right, so she just wanted to like avoid and whole "I" and "r" thing." "So they called me Amanda." "Amanda." "She's never understood me." "She..." "Always has this..." "Big smile on her face..." "As if nothing's wrong, as if everything is okay." "Always." "My work is very important." "The Pentagon is aware of this." "I have received communication from CBS news at 6:30 P.M. every night." ""Mr. Wilson, Mr. Wilson, where are you, where are you?"" "I cannot return the communication." "My mind is clouded..." "And poison is being placed in my food." "I'm late, I'm late for a very important date." "I'm late." "Hi, I'm a doctor." "I'm also a late-oholic." "I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late." " I worked late." "I get up late." " Hi, Charlie." "Hi, Charlie." "I sleep late." "I eat late." "And it's too damned late for me to do anything about it." "Mr. Jones?" "Where?" "Where?" "Get the net!" "Are you leaving us?" "Yes!" "Yes!" "I am leaving." "How are you feeling?" "Did you do that to your husband every morning?" "Did you do that?" ""How are you feelin'?"" "Well, I bet that just pepped him right out of bed, didn't it?" "You're wondering how I knew you were married." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Elementary, my dear miss Watson." "May I have your hand?" "Slight discoloration on the ring finger." "This rather fragile air about you, as if you've been recently damaged." "Beautiful accent, though." "Swedish, isn't it?" "Yes." "Yeah." "I found your country to be..." "very lovely." "Cold but..." "Well..." " bye, Elizabeth." " How'd you know my name?" "You ever tried the drugs here?" "You should, you know." "You shouldn't be allowed to prescribe unless you know." "You see, because we... we hear..." "Everything... in the room." "Careful what you say." " Sorry we didn't get to talk." " Yeah, I'm sorry too." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "We could ta... we could talk!" "Wha... how do you feel about choral music?" "Beethoven, ninth symphony, "ode to joy"?" "You could use a little joy, couldn't you?" "I know I could." "Come on." "I got tickets tonight." "We'll go." "We'll fill our empty hearts." "We'll find an all-night cafe." "We'll be there all night long, talking as long as you want." "Hey." "Hey." " Mr. Jones?" " Try yes." "Give me your number." "I'll call you." "I didn't mean that." "What did you mean?" "I mean, we could talk." "We are talking." "But you need to talk." "I want you to talk." "I mean..." " it's important that you talk." " We should talk here." "Yes." "Ah!" "You seemed very distressed yesterday." "Yes!" "Late!" "Late!" "And I think you need treatment." "Gotta go!" "Late, late, late!" "Yes!" "Here is my card." "Will you please call me?" "Yes!" "Absolutely!" "Dr. Elizabeth bowen!" " Good-bye!" "Late, late!" "Gotta go, gotta go!" " Will you call?" "I..." "I, uh, probably... not." "Yes!" "This was a standard procedure release, libbie." "What's the problem here?" " I think he was misdiagnosed." " Uh-huh." "How so?" "He was psychotic but not schizophrenic." "He was expansive, intrusive, inappropriate, euphoric." " I think he's a manic." " Okay." "Fine." "Fine." "Fine." "He's manic." "You know, the guy refused medication." "He would've meant a hearing we would've lost." "Give him a few more hours and he'll think he can fly again." "¶ I feel good ¶" "¶ like I knew that I would, now ¶" "¶ I feel good ¶" "¶ Like I knew that I would, now ¶" "¶ I feel good, so good ¶" "¶ I got you bom, bom, bom, bom ¶ ohh!"

"You have a customer." " Hi, I can help you, sir." " Yes, I would like..." "A double cheeseburger, fries and a chocolate shake." "Just kidding." "Want to, uh, close my account, please." "You just opened this account last week." " Yeah, I'm a fickle kind of guy." " Oh, my goodness." "Okay, you have $12,752 in your account." "Do you want that in hundreds?" "I'm gonna leave that up to your impeccable judgment, Susan." "I just want to make sure I have a nice big, fat wad of fives..." "For all the valet parking I plan on doing." " Don't forget the interest." " Okay, certainly." "On five days?" "Yeah, that's 51/2 percent..." "Nine dollars, sixty cents." " How did you do that?" " It's easy." "It's so easy." "So easy." " Keep one of those hundreds for yourself." " I can't do that!" " No, you're going to need it." " I am?" "Why?" "Takin' me to lunch. ¶ Whoa ¶" "¶ I feel good ¶ yo!" "We need his-and-hers chili dogs, man." " His-and-hers, right now, with all the fixings!" " One for the lady." "Coming up." "Okay, here you go." "Are you nuts?" " I can't break a $100 bill." " Keep the change." "Oh, wow." "Oh." "Music." "Heaven." "This is a body." "These are bodies." "They're women's bodies." "All over here." "Look at this." "¶" "Thirty percent off."

"I mean, you know, men will say that you're good, but I know I'm good." "Totally uninhibited." "Very smooth." "I make a lot of noise." "They like that." "I pretend that I'm out of control." "I always pretend that I'm out of control, but I'm never out of control." "You know what I mean?" "I'm never out of control?" "This is my floor." "Come on." "Maybe we should go back to the hotel." "Stay here, okay?" "Buddy, can you spare some change?" "Yeah, yeah, sure." " Here ya go!" "Here ya go!" " Hey, thanks, man." "Okay, man." "¶ Whew." "Whoa." "You like that music, huh?" "All men..." " Are brothers beneath your soft wings." " What are you, a musician?" "No." "No, but I was a music student." "I had this wonderful, wonderful, beautiful girlfriend named Ellen." "She... she was a composer." "She was really an extraordinary person." " I think of her all the time." "She died." " What happened to her?" "It's okay." "Ohh... ¶" "Just point it out." "Second row."

"Okay, pull it." "It's too tight." "It's..." "I'm not struggling, all right?" "I'm not struggling!" "It's too tight." "Too tight." "I can't!" "Come here." "Hey, you two, come here." "Come here." "Come here a second." "I want to talk to you." "I have a doctor here." "I have a doctor!" "Dr. Elizabeth bowen." "I have a doctor!" "Did you hear that?" "Did you hear that?" "Come back." "Come back." "Zero, zero, zero." "Zero, zero, zero." " Three, three, three." " Surprise, surprise." "I know." "I know." "Don't even say it." "It's like trying to stop the space shuttle with a rubber band." " What did you give him?" " We waited for you." " Why?" " Zero, zero, z-zero... you're his doctor." "Zero, zero, zero." "Three, three, three." "Five, six, five." "Five, six, four." "Three-nine-oh-four-two-si..." "Mr." "Jones." " Elizabeth..." " Mr. Jones?" " Gotta get me out of here." " I can't do that." " Yes!" " Not right now." "Oh, yeah." "Right." "Yeah." "I know the rules." "Yeah." "Seventy-two hours." "Yes, I know." "But you can do it." "You can do it, please." "Please!" "Please!" "I'm dying!" "Mr. Jones." "Get me the fuck out of here!" "Mr. Jones, you have a disease." "Manic-depressive disorder." " It's like having diabetes." " No shit!" "And here I thought I was just having a bad day!" "It's a highly-treatable chemical imbalance." "We've had a great deal of success... look, fuck-face, I have been in and out of hospitals for 20 years." "There are two words I really do not appreciate." "One is "great." The other, "success."" "Now, I'm gonna tell you something." "Both of you listen." "You might learn something!" "It is not a disease, okay?" "Not a disease." "I do not have a disease." "This is who I am!" "I like who I am!" "You got it?" "You get the... no, forget it." "Forget it." "Don't even think about that fucking needle!" "I'd like to give you some medication so you won't hurt yourself." " I'm not hurting myself." "They're hurting myself." " Look, Mr. Jones." " What?" "Yeah." " You're here." " You asked for me?" " Yes." " I came." " Yes." "You did come." "Thank you." "You made me very happy." "Thank you." " Now, you're very agitated." " I am agitated." "And very tired." "I'm not tired." "I'm not tired." "I'd like to give you something to help you rest, okay?" "Forget the haldol!" "I'm not taking haldol!" "Forget it!" "That's not haldol!" " What is it?" "Oh, okay." " This is amytal." "You've heard of it?" "It's just a sedative." "Yeah." "No, it's good." "It's good." "You'll sleep." "That's all." " I know what it is." " Something to help you rest." "Oh, to help me rest." "Yeah." "Okay." "Okay?" " You're awfully pretty when you smile." " Yeah." "Here, let me help you out." "Yeah, this is gonna be good." "Oh-kay!" "Glass of chardonnay?" "Think of this as a whole bottle." "Umm!" "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "Enjoyed that." "Now, you'll go home..." "And have some wine." "I'll have a glass of wine." "You'll think of me and have some wine." "I'll think of you getting better." "Okay." "I'll rest but I won't sleep." " You don't have to sleep." " Thank you very much." "Pretty..." "Elizabeth." "My Elizabeth." "Okay." "Oh, Elizabeth, where do they all go?" "Where did he go?" "He was 18." "Where did... whoa!" "W-whoa!" "Where did he go?" "Where'd?" "Mommy?" "Whoa, I had such a bad dream." "Do you understand why you're here?" "Yes, this is a competency hearing." "Do you understand the consequences of these proceedings?" "Yes, I do." "I am facing involuntary commitment..." "To a mental hospital with indeterminate release." " Attorney, you may proceed." " Please state your name." " Dr. Elizabeth bowen." " And Dr. Bowen, are you..." "Board-certified to practice in this state?" "Yes, I am." "Why do you think, Mr. Jones should be on a hold?" "I believe that he is suffering from bipolar manic-depressive disorder." "And that he is currently in a manic cycle." "What behaviors or attitudes can you report to support this assumption?" "Two incidents:" "In the first, he had to be restrained on the roof of a building..." "For his own safety after claiming he was going to fly." "That was actually a fairly creative act..." " If you could keep your mind open." " Shh." "Okay." "All right." "Sorry." "In the second, he was brought to us by the police..." "After disrupting a symphony orchestra." "Excuse me." "Is the original conductor here also?" "Mr. Jones, please." "You're going to have an opportunity to respond." "Okay, thank you." "Thank you very much, your honor." "Continue, Dr. Bowen." "I think that his judgment is impaired and that he is a danger to himself." " In what way?" " The manic state is usually followed by depression." "What are the symptoms of depression?" "Hopelessness, despair, the inability to experience pleasure, the inability to function." "Mr. Jones?" ""Despair, hopelessness, the inability to experience pleasure."" "Now, doctor, are these words and phrases that come..." "Spontaneously to you when you look at me?" "Are they?" "I don't think so." "I deeply respect Dr. Bowen." "She is a wonderful doctor." "I respect her and her advice." "But I graciously say, no." "No, thank you." "The fact is that the doctor and the other fine healers..." "Have decided I am bipolar and this is without regard to the fact..." "That they have not one shred of evidence." "They've never seen me, observed me once have a depressive symptom." "Is that not true?" " Yes." " Thank you very much." "Now, the fact is, maybe I never get the blues." "Maybe, I'm just a happy-go-lucky guy all the time." "Your honor, the truth is this is a very simple case." "If we... if we... if we go to the issues and see the case on its merits, it's very simple." "Now, the fact is I'm a productive human being!" "Last year, in this country alone, over 75,000 people..." "Suffering from depression killed themselves." "Your honor..." "Your honor, will you please look at me?" "Do I look suicidal?" "Mr." "Jones, what do you have to say..." "About these incidents that Dr. Bowen mentioned?" "You mean like the flying scam?" "I talked about... this is not a big deal!" "This is nothing!" "It's kid's stuff!" "I..." "I have a big personality!" "I'm grandiose." "This is a prob..." "I'm a kid, all right?" "I always will be." "I'm sorry." "Your honor, I swear..." "I swear on my life." "I could've done a better job conducting that Beethoven piece." "Please..." "please, your honor, pl..." "Please, your honor." "Please do not lock me up." "You don't have to do this." "I promise I'll be a good boy." "And there are a lot of people who are really sick and need that bed more than I do." "Sit down, Mr. Jones." "Okay." "I just wanted to thank you again." "Thank you, your honor." "Wanna go bowling?" "Do you want to do me a favor?" "Next time you're in trouble, don't ask for me." "I'm a busy person." "I didn't expect you'd be a bad loser." "We're not competing." "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey." "What is going on here?" "Look, I was fighting for freedom in there." " I don't know what you're in this for." " Tell me something." "Do you crash?" " What?" " Do you get suicidal?" "Do you?" "How could I get suicidal?" "I have my little friends here..." "lithium." "Uh-huh." "Mmm." "Four a day, every day, keeps those highs and lows away." "Yeah, if you take them!" "Elizabeth!" "Elizabeth, wait a second." "Look, I..." "Mr." "Jones, I have office hours, right?" "I'd be happy to make an appointment with you if you want to talk." " I'm worried about you." "Something has happened, no?" " Good-bye, Mr. Jones." "Is it your ex?" "Take your medication, pay your taxes and floss your teeth." " Is it his girlfriend?" "She's pregnant." " She's not pregnant." "You know nothing about my life." "W-what about the yuppie doctor?" "Is he hitting on you?" "I don't know how I should put this." "Shut up!" "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean it." "What are you doing?" "I don't live very far from here." "I thought maybe you could give me a ride." "Okay, I'm a psychiatrist." "If you have a psychiatric problem, you call me." "If you have a transportation problem, you call a cab, okay?" "Yeah, well..." "I guess maybe I do have a problem, uh..." "I don't have any money." "So, tell me." "When did you first notice the symptoms?" "Elizabeth, can I ask you something?" "Yeah." "Good." "Say you go to the theater tonight." "All right?" "You go to the theater." "You run into your gynecologist." "He comes over and he says, "good evening, Elizabeth." "Enjoying the play?" ""How about that little condition you came to me about last week?" "Yeah." "Let's have a look, shall we?"" "That's not the same." "It's exactly the same thing!" "There you are at the theater with your dress over your head, and me here out on a beautiful day with a woman like you..." "it's exactly the same thing." "You know, the minute the doctor shows up and starts poking around in things that... that he or she are uninvited to be poking around in, it's rude!" "I guess I never thought of it that way." "Well..." " I'm sorry." " Yeah." " Yeah, I'll forgive you." " Thanks." " If you feed me." " I can't." "What do you mean you can't?" "This is America." "You can do anything you want here." " I have appointments." " I have hunger." "Mucho hunger." "I really can't." "Look, who needs you more today than me?" "There can't be anyone." "I'm desperate." "You want to do this." "I know you do." "There!" "There it is!" "You see it?" "The road to forgiveness." "I'll talk about me." "I will." "Just turn!" "Just tu... come on." "Yes!" "I knew it!" "¶ I knew she'd do it!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "¶ ¶" "¶ LA-LA di-da LA-LA di-da ¶ so, what were you doing on the stage that night?" " -¶" " Picking up the tempo." " Why would you do that?" "Look, "ode to joy" was meant to be played allegro vivace!" "Quickly, with life." "Well, Beethoven might have been stone deaf, but he had an impeccable sense of time." "You know, if he hadn't been dead, he would've dragged that son of a bitch off the stage." "Truth be known, I was just there protecting my friend Ludwig." "You know a lot about music, don't you?" "Yeah-yeah-yeah." "Do you play?" "Here." "Go ahead." "Have you ever played?" "Shall we dance?" "No way." "Come on, Elizabeth!" "Couple of steps up, everything's different." "I don't want different." "Do you want to know who I am?" "You gotta go where I am." "If you don't get down right now, I'm going." "It's all right, you know." "Fear's allowed here." "Well, it's just that I even get dizzy in high heels." "I know it's silly." "I know it's just a childhood thing." "There's nothing I can do about it." "You ever have flying dreams?" "I don't know." "Maybe when I was a kid." "Ah." "You know, interesting." "I've asked that question all over the world, and everyone says the same thing." "So, why is it only children have flying dreams?" "Oh, she's late." "She's late." "No." "Not yet." "So, how'd you get started?" "A little psychiatric kit for Christmas one year?" "No." " So, why'd you give up dancing?" " How did you know that?" "The feets!" "You got crunched toes heading east and west, and you walk like a duck when you're not paying any attention." "It's cute." "I like it." "You still dance?" "What do you mean "east and west"?" "Look at 'em." "If your legs followed your feet, you'd split in half." "What were you?" "A little ballerina with pink ribbons in your hair?" "They do not." "They do!" "What happened to her?" "This little..." "little..." "little miss twinkletoes?" "I had this wild couple of months..." "Where every morning I would wake up and there was something different about me." "Like somebody was stretching my body parts..." "When I was asleep." "You know, I felt like I had arms down to my knees..." "And a neck about 18 inches long." "I didn't even want to leave my room." "I thought I looked like lurch from the Addams family." "Yes, I know." "It's hell, isn't it?" "What?" "Growin' up." "Yeah, it stinks." "My boots!" "My new boots!" "Damn!" "Yeah." "Home, sweet home." "You're an interesting man, Mr. Jones." "Would you want to make me ordinary?" "No." "I want you to be well." ""Well." I am well, believe me." "I am ecstatic." "You want to cure me of that, don't you?" " That's your chemistry talking." " Chemistry again." "It's all chemicals." "The whole universe is chemicals." "You're chemicals." "I'm chemicals." "Love, sadness, pain, grief." "If I touch you..." "touch you here." "You feel something, right?" "If I touch you... touch your back here." "Lean forward a little bit." "Lean forward." "Lean forward." "Drop your head." "Mr." "Jones." " Drop your head a little more." " Oh... right th... ay-yi-yi." "You hold your tension right there, don't you?" "Just an observation." "Wonderful afternoon, wasn't it?" " Yes." " Yes." "Thanks for the ride." "Bye." "Bye." "Mr. Jones!" "Your chemicals." "All right, then 3:00." "That's good." "Whoa-whoa." "Whoa-whoa." "Whoa, wait." "What do you want, pal?" "Look, I just want my tools, that's all." "Uh, look." "Don't worry about your tools." "You worry about stayin' out of trouble." "Okay?" "First, I wanted to thank you about givin' me the chance." "Hey, no problem." "Because, uh..." "I'm sorry I was a little strange." "Yeah, why don't you get lost?" "Maybe, you could give me another chance." "Because it's something that... hey, pal." "Why don't you..." "I'm telling you." "Why don't you get lost, all right?" "I'll talk to you tomorrow." "You got to be fucking joking." "You're a fucking lunatic." "I'll come back tomorrow." "That's better." "It's a lot better, okay?" "I'll come back..." "what about my tools?" "Okay." "Hey, man." " How you feelin'?" " I'm okay." "Appreciate what you did for me." "That's all right." "Listen." "I got your tools at the house." "You want to come get 'em?" "Okay, everybody." "All right, Peyton, you lead everybody in grace." "Thank you for the food that we're blessed to have." "Thank you for our health, our home and our family." "Amen." "All right." "Go on, girl!" "Mr. Jones, may I have your plate, please." " No, that's for the chicken." " Okay." "All right." "Pass that glass down." "Pass that glass down." "Hiya, kid." "What's up?" "Do you know how to do this?" "What do you got there, math?" "Yeah. 497... is that a 1,197?" "43,670, yeah." "All right." "Now, the thing you got to remember here about long division, it's the same as short division, just..." "Smaller numbers." "Okay." "197... and 40." "197 into..." "I can do this... this is... 197... ¶" "Don't know what happened to me." " I, like..." "" "¶" "¶" "Hello, hello." "Yeah." "Yeah." "I understand you're the doctor who's treating Mr. Jones." "What can I do for you?" "You know, doctor!" " What?" " I don't know." "H-he seems like he's having some problems." "Mr. Jones." "I can't stop..." "I can't stop the sadness." "It's all right." "¶ Taking showers used to be a bore ¶" "¶ now it isn't boring anymore ¶" "¶ 'cause the shower situation stimulates imagination ¶" "¶ and I found my inspiration in the shower ¶ you can join in anytime, right?" "We can do this as a round, if you'd like, right?" "¶ Taking showers ¶ my dad and I had a fight." "My mother was crying." "Then she stayed up all night waiting." "I broke their hearts." " Are you taping this?" " Yeah." "Do you mind?" "Doesn't matter." "Mr. Jones, the way I see it, we're dealing with two problems here." "One is chemical, and we're treating that." "And other one is, I think, your pain." "It'll take hard work..." "For us to get at those feelings." "Do you understand?" "Will you work with me?" "Do we have a deal?" "Now, what we want to do is let our movement express how we feel." "Okay?" "Let-let yourself move through the space..." "And express your inner life." "Okay, just be gentle, all right?" "That's right, yeah." "Just let it out." "Just let it come up somehow." "It's in here?" "It's in there?" "Just let it out." "Mr. Jones?" "What are you being?" "An erection." " I have no memory." " You can't remember anything?" "Sometimes..." "What happens when you can't remember anything?" "I guess it makes me pretty hard to connect with somebody." "Yes!" "Very good!" "Mr. Jones, how about you?" "Don't you want to paint something?" "This is your opportunity to really express yourself on a page." "Tell me about the first time you got into trouble." "Okay, so... now I will tell you..." "The first time I got into trouble." "Okay." "I was, uh, working in a construction crew." "We were building tract houses." "I was a pretty tough guy, and I was getting into things, you know, with guys." "No one was going to mess with me 'cause I was very tough." "I was very tough, all right?" "I was a tough guy." "I'm a tough guy." "I am a very, very tough guy." "So, at the same time I was also, like, going out with a really groovy girl named Ellen, you know." "And, like, Ellen went and died, you know." "And then, I did things that weren't good." "And I, like, broke things and, like, hit people and stuff." "And then, they took me to jail, right?" "So they took me to jail and I'm sitting in jail, then I'm climbing the bars and I'm, like, doin' stuff, and-and I'm climbin' up there and I'm screaming out that I'm king Kong." "And..." "All this stuff, you know?" "So... and they take me away to a mental hospital." "Where?" "Houston." " Why are you lying?" " I'm not lying." "I'm not lying!" "Yeah, you were king Kong in a jail in Houston." " "Heews-ton." - "Heews-ton."" "Yeah!" "Okay, you want to come back tomorrow." "Okay." "Okay." "I was in college." "Uh-huh." "What happened?" "I swallowed some aspirin." "How many?" "Seventy-three heavy-duty, full-strength Tylenol." "I was young." "I was on a full stomach." "My roommates found me." "You know, there's something I want you to know." "Ever since that night," "I have never..." "Ever..." "Had a headache." "True story." "I believe you." "How you doin', man?" "Howard?" "Howard!" "What are you doin' here?" "I come to see you, boy." "Did they get you too?" "You look good, man." "Yeah." "I'm gettin' there." "I'm gettin' there." "How long have I been in here?" "A month." "A month." "Time files." "Excuse me, sir." "I'm sorry to interrupt, but could I ask you a question?" " Sure." " Did you drive here today?" "Yes." "What kind of car do you have?" "Do you know you're injecting millions of poisons into our food and..." " thank you, Mr. Wilson." " It's very important." "Thought that guy was a doctor." "It's hard to tell sometimes." "Look at these three over there." "Howard, you tell me." "Which one there is the patient?" "The lady." "Sad-looking lady." "That is my doctor." "What about these over here?" "The girl?" "Tried to kill herself three times." "Big fat lady over here..." "Okay." " She has a big problem..." " Okay, okay, okay." "All right." "All right, man." "I came to see you, okay?" "Yeah." "Oh, come on, man." "Come on, come on." "When do you get outta here?" "I don't know." "I don't know." "And this woman..." "You got my number." "Call me anytime." "What is this?" "What is this?" "What?" "You will not believe this, man." "You will not believe what happened to me." "Come here." "I'm walking down the street day before yesterday." "The sky opens up." "Listen, listen." "I hear this voice, right?" "Says, "give this to Mr. Jones."" "Mr. Altman?" "Mr. Altman, I don't think you're supposed to be off the unit." " Mr. Altman?" " My wife." "What's the matter with your wife, Mr. Altman?" "She didn't come." "Oh." "You expected her to come today, and she didn't come." " Is that it?" " She did not." " She didn't come to visit." " I understand." "Okay." "Why don't we go back to your room and then you can call her." "Mr. Altman?" "Mr. Altman." "Do you think she's fucking around?" "I do." "I do." "I think she's fucking around on me." "Mr. Altman, let's walk back to your ward." "We'll call her." "Is that okay?" "No!" "I think she's..." "I think she's... shh, shh, shh." "Arnie, Arnie, Arnie, Arnie!" "I gotta talk to you about something!" "Hey, you look good, man." "You look good!" "Wow!" " My wife... this ain't your wife, man." " That's a doctor." "Your wife's someplace else." "She didn't come to see me." "She's gonna come." "She's gonna come." "This protects you, man." "You feel good." "You feel real good." "You feel real good." "I feel good." "She told..." "have you seen my wife?" "We need a medic over here." "No." "Wait a minute!" "Shit!" "No!" "It's the wrong guy!" "Wait a minute!" "I feel good." "No, I feel good." "I feel good!" "Wait, wait." "You okay?" "You all right?" "Don't do it!" "No, no!" "Shit!" "No!" "Dr. Bowen, are you all right?" "What happened?" "Did he hit you?" "Where?" "Here." "I just wanted to say thank you." "I thought about buying you something, but what to you buy a person who saves your life?" "It's no big deal." "Oh, yes." "Very big deal." "Biggest deal there is." "Well, now you got a war story." "It's something you can tell around the campfire one night to the kiddies." "Scare 'em to death." "You can't let that big guy corner you like that again." "You're old doc twinkletoes, remember?" " I'll remember." " Okay." "Do that." "¶" "¶" " Mr. Jones?" " Yeah?" " Wanna play?" " With you?" "Love-one." "My serve." "Lovetwo." "All right." "We know it's two-love." "Thank you very much." " Whoo!" "I had to do it." " It's my point." " Love-three." "Her point." " Whose point?" " Who the fuck made you scorekeeper?" " Official tournament rules." " My point." " Don't cheat." "I'm not cheating." "You're cheating." "My point." "You can't do that!" "It didn't hit the table." " Ha-ha!" " Yes!" "I got it!" "You hit it off the table!" "What's the score?" " Wilson, it hit..." " One-three." " No!" "It is not her point!" " It touched the table." "It wasn't her point!" "It did not hit!" "Bad manners." "You lose a point." "We got ten people watching." "I got the point." " We'll play the point over, okay?" " No, it was my point." "It was my point, but we'll play the point over." "Come on." "Let's go." "All right." "Why is it I keep winning, and she gets the points?" " My point." " It touched the table." "Tournament rules." "What do you mean?" "It was my point!" " Oh, shut the fuck up!" " You shut the fuck up!" " I'm gonna win this game." " Fuck you!" "Fuck you!" "Fuck you too, you son of a bitch!" " Fucking nutsos." " Ready?" "Okay." "All right." "My point again." "Okay." "Give me the ball." "Give me the ball." "Hey, hey, hey." "Wait a minute here." "Give me the ball." " I haven't got the ball." " I saw you pick up the ball." "I didn't." "Give me the fucking ball." "We're playing a game." "Bad manners." "You lose a point." "Escalator to manager's office." "So I have to go to him!" "Mr. Joseph's." "Mr. Jones, medication." "Okay." " Mr. Jones, it's time for your medication." " Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh." "I'm watching the cartoon." "You watch me get to the bottom of this." " Mr. Jones, it's time for your medication." " Not today." "I don't want it." " Mr. Jones..." " I said don't!" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I can't do this..." "Anymore." "I appreciate you trying so hard." "I gotta get outta here." "Is it the medication?" "Elizabeth, I am a junkie." "I really need my highs." "I really miss my highs very badly." "And the lows?" "Yeah, well, guess I'll take my chances." "Listen to me." "When you first came to this hospital, you were suicidal, right?" "I didn't come to this hospital." "I came to you." "Yeah, I guess that..." "Maybe I owe you my life." "Well, then, we're even." "Thank you again for... for helping me the other day." "It was so wonderful to see the way you dealt with Mr. Altman." "You, uh... you have such a gift with people." "You do." "I envy you." "You have so much to offer." "Please don't give up." "When I was three years old," "I played Mozart." "By the time I was 12, I had read..." "Everything." "When I was 18," "I was the center of the universe." "And then I woke up one day, I was in a mental institution." "I'm not normal." "I've never been normal." "I can't..." "I can't live down here anymore." "I can't do it." "I can't." "I can't do it by myself." "No." "Not by yourself." "It hurts." "We're very grateful for all you have done, but we feel that we can handle it from this point." "We do have a large and supportive family." "Dr. Bowen, what do you think?" "I think you're ready to go back to school." "You're so much..." "Stronger now." " You feel strong, don't you?" " Yeah." "But I do think... we need to continue your treatment." "So we'll just go back to our Tuesday morning sessions." "Okay, Amanda?" "Actually, my, um, parents have this friend that's a therapist, and they would like me to try a few sessions with him." " Bye." " Bye." " Thank you." " Good-bye." "Bye." "Call me if you need me." "Promise?" "Okay." "Okay." "Let's be optimistic." " Can I talk to you for a minute?" " I have a meeting." " I can be late." " No." "Tomorrow?" "No, that's all right." "Yeah, I need to talk to you." " You find me." " Okay." "Libbie." "Libbie, come here a minute." "I want you to meet, uh, Dr. Bowen." "All right?" "This is Susan." " Hello." " She was, um, with Mr. Jones at the Beethoven concert." "She'd like to have a word with you." "Okay." "He was just so special." "He was unexpected and exciting, and just crazy enough to make the afternoon interesting." "In what way... crazy?" "Well, crazy." "Like for instance, we were in this hotel..." "And this room service guy comes with some champagne," "And he calls this guy right into the bathroom." "We were... both in, in the bathtub." "And he just stood up, you know?" "He was, like, completely naked." "I guess you had to be there." "Even if he were here, it would be confidential." "And we're not allowed to give out any information about patients." "I'm really sorry." "Can I just give you my phone number, in case?" "Yeah, of course." "You know, I don't think he's married or anything." "He did talk about another woman in his life, though." "Ellen." "Ellen something?" "She was a music student." "Do you remember her last name?" "Ellen something." " He said she died." " Oh." "I figured that gave me a little edge over her." "Who is it that we're looking for?" " Music student." " Yes." " Female." " Yes." " Here in the mid-70's." " Yes." " First name Ellen." " Yes." " That's it?" " That's it." "This could take a while." "So what do you want me to talk about today?" "Anything you like." "Anything?" "Let's talk about you." "Okay." "You choose." "Ellen." " Ellen?" "Which Ellen?" " Your Ellen." "My Ellen." "Oh, my Ellen." "Sure." "My Ellen." "Ellen." "Ellen..." "Ellen was probably the only person..." "Who ever really loved me." "The most beautiful red hair." "She thought I could be..." "Mozart and Shakespeare and Einstein and..." "Picasso, nijinsky." "And then she was gone." "How did she die?" "Sh... she fell off a trapeze." "No, she was, uh, run over by a cement mixer." "What the fuck difference does it make?" "She's gone." "She's dead." "None." "What was her last name?" "I don't remember." "Was it Ryan?" "Ellen Ryan." "You are one very, very sick motherfucker." "What have you been doing, spying on me?" " Miss f.B.I.?" " I spoke to her." "Ellen Ryan is now Mrs. Ellen naughton." "She lives in Iowa." "She has two children." "She was so happy to hear that you were being helped..." "Because the whole time you were together with her you would never admit..." "That there was anything wrong." "That's why she had to leave you." "No." "She died." " No." " She died." "She didn't die." "Are your parents still alive?" "My parents never were alive." "Fuck you." "You sick... who the fuck do you think you are?" "You think you're a fucking doctor?" "You're full of shit!" "You're sick!" "I'm not sick!" "You don't treat me like a fucking sick person." "I don't skulk around!" "I don't fucking spy!" "You're not a sick person." "You're a person with a sickness." "Don't fucking talk to me about sick!" "You are sick!" "The disease is not who you are." "It's separate from you and can be treated." "I am what I am!" "This is what I am!" "And fuck you!" "You're not a friend of mine!" "You have no right to talk to me." "I don't need this." "What am I doing?" "I don't fucking need this." "I don't need it at all." "I don't have to be here, and I'm going." "Bye." "See ya around, pal." "Stupid!" "Why, why, why?" "Dumb." "What do you expect?" "You go to some stupid... don't you ever do it again!" "Why am I doing it again?" "What do you expect?" "You go to a hospital looking for... stupid." "Stupid." "Why do you do this?" "Stupid." " Don't do it again." " Get in the car!" "Please!" "Let's talk." "Get out of here!" "Please, just get in the car." "Can we just talk?" " I don't wanna talk!" " Please!" "Lady, get away from me!" "You're sicker than I thought you were!" "Get outta here!" "Can you please just stop and listen to me?" "Shit." "All right." "What?" "What do you want?" "What?" "Don't even know, do you?" "All right, all right, all right." "I forgive you." "Now just get the hell away from me." "Look, I was wrong, okay?" "I've never violated a patient's privacy before." "You still haven't!" "'Cause I'm not your patient." "I never was." "You get it?" "I checked myself in." "I checked myself out." "My mistake was looking for a friend in a hospital." "I'm not gonna do it again." "Ellen said she thinks about you all the time." "She never passes a music store, she never passes a concert hall..." " Without looking for your work." " Shut up." " Why did you say she was dead?" " I'm warning you!" "Why'd you say it?" "Tell me!" "Because she is dead, that's why!" "And so are you!" "What about my work?" "Don't you... my work!" "Why she couldn't wait for me." "She couldn't do that?" "Why the fuck not?" "Too much trouble, that's why." "I was too much fucking trouble for everybody!" "Whole fucking life, everyone I met, too much trouble." "Let me tell you something." "You get it together." "You find a way." "You make it all right." "Don't think you ever will, but you do." " You feel sorry for yourself, don't you?" " I got this little trick." "This really good trick." "You see, you're not human anymore." "None of you!" "You're not human!" "You're like goldfish, all of you." "One dies, I get another one." "You want human?" "I'll give you human." "You're gonna blow the back of your head off..." "Or jump or hang or anything to turn off the pain." "No." " Come on." "Admit it." " I'm warning you." " You're gonna do it, and you know it." " Take your hands off me!" "When you finally do, when all you charm and all the wonderful things you could be are gone forever," "I'll just be left here, with an intensely human unprofessional rip in my heart." "And that terrifies the hell out of me." " Elizabeth." " What?" "What the hell are we doing here?" "I don't know." "Would that be a problem for you, libbie?" "Sorry?" "Would it be a problem for you to supervise some additional cases?" "No." "No, of course not." "That's fine." "Dr. Bowen?" " Good morning." " Good morning." "God, you have the most beautiful smile." "I just wanted to say hello." "You're a doctor." "You can fix my life." "Right?" "Hi." "Can I talk to you?" "Yeah, just a sec." "Did you see this?" "I..." "I want to take myself off the Jones case, and I was hoping that you could take over." " Why?" " What?" "Why?" "Well... because I..." "I really think it's for the best." "The best?" "It's not the best for me." "I slept with him." "You want to say that again?" "I slept with him." "For Christ's sake." "What the fuck do you think you were doing?" "What the fuck do you think you were doing?" "Twelve years of training as a psychiatrist, and you blow it off." "First of all, you'll be fired." "Then, if Mr. Jones... solid, stable citizen that he is... chooses to press charges, you could be prosecuted." "You could go to jail." "You could go to fucking jail." "Do you understand that?" " I'll resign." " Oh, great, fine, beautiful." "You fuck one of the patients and all the rest of them lose one of the best therapists in..." "Patrick, please." "Help me." "Okay." "Come here." "All right, this is the deal." "You cannot see him again." " I have to see him to explain." " Libbie, listen to me." "You cannot see him again." "If you do, I will turn you in." "This is not about protecting myself, the hospital." "This is about him, the patient." "It has nothing to do what how I feel about you." "I would do that." "I would turn you in." "Do you understand me?" " Do you understand me?" " Yes." "There's a line here." "All right?" "You cannot cross it." "You don't understand." "It's too late." "It's too late." "Then I'm gonna transfer him to another hospital." "Mr. Jones!" "Will you please come back?" "Mr. Jones, come back!" "Mr. Jones!" "Come back!" " Elizabeth." " Mr. Jones, can I help you?" "Elizabeth." "Elizabeth." "Mr. Jones, maybe I can help you." "I don't think you can." "Mr. Jones, you're being transferred to another hospital." "Excellent facility." "In the meantime, Dr. Rosen and I will be glad to help you." "Let's go back to the unit." "I don't care about you or him." "If Elizabeth wants me transferred, I want her to tell me to my face." "Let's go back to the unit." "We'll talk about it there." "Elizabeth." "I said don't touch me." "Elizabeth." "That's okay." "Don't fuckin' touch..." "Libbie." "Patrick." "Good morning." " What time is it?" " Uh, it's 8:00 P.M." "Oh!" "Wow." "I'm so tired." "Listen, I just wanted to let you know that, um, he's out." "Who told you?" "I have a friend who's a resident at Cal." "They assessed him as being stable..." "And found him cooperative with the drug program." "So he got himself released." "Why are you telling me?" "He may try to contact you." "No." "No, he won't." "Not me." "Not anymore." "I'm dead." " Hello?" " I'm trying to contact Dr. Bowen." "This is Dr. Bowen." "...eat take-out Chinese food, right?" "I'm not afraid of death." "People build it up to be..." "Something..." "That you should be frightened of, but..." "I'm so ready." "It'll be a big relief, actually." "Like... like warmth." "Dr. Bowen?" "Do you think I'm pretty?" "It was like that day we went to the pier, and I got up on the railing." "You thought it was stupid, right?" "You..." "I can see now you still do." "Yeah, really dumb." "Uh, yeah." "I'm gonna fall, break my neck." "What's the point, right?" "You see, you don't understand." "Being up there is the point." "They're willing to risk everything to get it." "Hi, Elizabeth." "What would you risk everything for?" "Is there anything that means that much to you?" "Hmm?" "You're going to listen to this later, aren't you?" "I hope you do." "Save this one." "This was a good one." "What's up?" "What's this?" "It's my resignation." "What'd you do, kill somebody?" "I've..." "I've made a mistake." "I've done something..." "Very bad." "Jones?" "Hey, buddy." " Your bike?" " Yeah." " What is it, '67?" " '68." "Unbelievable." "Unbelievable." "These are so sweet." "You got the original girlings?" "The whole thing's stock, right?" "Yeah." "Oil pan problems." "Unbelievable." "You do the paint job too?" "I have an English guy who helps me out." "Nice, isn't it?" "Feels great." "You got the Lucas on." "Let's put the key in." "I'll tell you, the engine is a little fresh." "Yeah." "Oh, sweet man." "Good tune job." " This is great." "Where'd you get it from?" " A shoot." " What do you do?" " I'm a director." " Direct what?" " Rock videos." "Rock videos!" "Wow!" "Whoa!" " Hey, buddy." " Rock videos!" "Jeffrey, he's got a bike just like yours!" "Jones, Mr." "Yes." "I would appreciate a call back as soon as you hear anything at all." "Hey!" " He's back!" "He's back!" " Look at this." "Hey, look at this!" " They let you go?" " I came for my tools, man." " Huh?" " Came for my tools!" " Cut the engine." " I come for my tools." " So they let you go, huh?" " Yeah." "Tried to keep me, couldn't do it." "Go out." "Flew away." "You doin' all right?" "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, fine." "Right as rain." "Need the tools." "Yeah, I got your tools." "Davon, go on in the house." "Davon, 1,492 divided by 68." "Yeah." " You got a job?" " Yeah." "Where?"
