Mumford Page #3

Synopsis: Dr. Mumford (Loren Dean) is the new psychologist in a small town. His unique style of therapy draws many patients, including a billionaire (Jason Lee) and a woman with chronic fatigue syndrome (Hope Davis). But Mumford also draws the ire of the town's two established doctors (David Paymer, Jane Adams). Resentful of Mumford's success, they hire an attorney (Martin Short) to impugn his character, and together they reveal shocking secrets from Mumford's past.

LILY:

You know who that is, don't you?

(Mumford does not)

You really don't? That's Skip

Skipperton, man. He gets himself hit

by a truck, this whole town shuts

down.

MUMFORD:

Oh, so that's him? The Panda Man.

LILY hands over Mumford's bagged order, rings it up. Back on

track:

LILY:

So, what makes you so popular? What's

your secret?

MUMFORD:

(takes his bag to go)

You like me. How come?

LILY:

Not sure. Let me think about it.

Mumford is smiling as he goes out. Another Patron, LIONEL

DILLARD, a lawyer, brings his check to Lily, watching Mumford

cross the street. Lily can't stand this guy.

LIONEL:

That's the new psychiatrist?

LILY:

Psychologist. He's not medical.

LIONEL:

Probably thinks he's pretty smart.

Lily gives him a look as she takes his money.

INT. MUMFORD'S OFFICE - DAY

An overweight, teenage girl named NESSA WATKINS is on

Mumford's couch. She fidgets as she talks and can't decide

whether to lie down (so she's looking away from him) or sit

up and face him. She plays with an unlit cigarette and keeps

taking out a lighter, then stuffing it back in her big, sloppy

handbag.

NESSA:

...so he already had the tattoo that

said, "Naomi Forever"... and now

they're broken up, see, and he has

to have it removed. But while the

scar is still healing, or whatever

you call it when you have a tattoo

removed, he meets Chandra. And it's

serious, immediate love. So in no

time, he's gone from the most gorgeous

model in the world to the most

gorgeous actress in North America.
