Mumford Page #4

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.

MUMFORD:

What do you mean, "in no time"?

NESSA:

In maybe three or four issues.

MUMFORD:

Weekly or monthly?

NESSA:

Monthly! God, how shallow do you

think Brad is? Why do I waste my

time telling you this stuff?

MUMFORD:

Why do you think you tell me, Nessa?

NESSA:

Don't do that thing...

(Mumford:
what?)

...that shrink thing.

MUMFORD:

It's a big part of the show.

She jams the cigarette in her mouth and flames the lighter,

but is afraid to actually break his rules.

NESSA:

You really need to let people smoke

in here, you know. It's perverse.

What are they paying you to see me?

Mumford indicates "nothing".

NESSA:

The school board doesn't pay you?

What kind of deal is that?

MUMFORD:

It's called pro bono.

NESSA:

Pro boner?

(he waits her out)

Pro bono, huh? For whose good,

supposedly?

MUMFORD:

It's my bit for the community.

NESSA:

F*** the community.

(he won't go for it)

There was this article my friends

and I read. It was "25 Signs He's

Great in Bed". It was very

fascinating.

MUMFORD:

Where was this?

NESSA:

Where?... The New York Times. The

first one was -- "he handles produce

well." Which we already knew!

(an expression she

uses)

The point is, you have a lot of the

signs.
