Mumford Page #2

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).

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're early... it's not ready. What

happened?

MUMFORD:

My patient had to leave early.

LILY:

Who was that?

She comes over to the register with an order. Mumford is

am[...] her, likes her a lot.

MUMFORD:

Does the phrase "nosy" have any

meaning to you, Lily?

LILY:

I think it's like... inquisitive.

MUMFORD:

It was Henry Follett.

LILY:

(reacts)

Man, you see him a lot. And it's

very wrong to reveal it. Next you'll

be saying what his problem is.

MUMFORD:

What do you want to know?

LILY:

You're terrible. I'm never telling

you anything.

A Patron passes on the way out.

PATRON:

Hey, Doc... how's it going?

MUMFORD:

Fine, Vincent... how's yourself?

LILY:

How long you been in this town?

MUMFORD:

Oh, I don't know...

LILY:

Four months, two and a half weeks --

that's how long.

(Mumford gives her a

look)

And you've already got more patients

than those other two shrinks combined.

MUMFORD:

Lily, I don't think even you could

know that --

Lily sees something out the window.

LILY:

Look at that guy...

Mumford turns to look out the window. A young man of about

30, in jeans and a Hawaiian shirt, is skateboarding down the

street at high speed, weaving in and out amongst the cars.

He zips past the front of the restaurant.
