Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor Page #2

---

Well, I prefer the old-fashioned way

of meeting women.

You like to pay?

No, that's not what I meant.

What exactly do you do?

Me?

Yes.

I'm the in-house therapist.

This is Judith.

Judith.

Well, Judith,

you are who I'd like to speak to.

Judith, Harley is looking

to invest in my company.

We want to take Wise Counsel

online and international.

Okay.

Well, before I make that type of investment,

I like to be quite certain

of what I'm getting myself into.

I totally understand.

And Judith will take great care of you.

Ava, clear Judith's schedule.

Judith, please, answer any questions

Mr. Madison may have.

Sure. Come right this way.

All right.

Bye. Nice to meet you.

So you gonna start today?

I think so. Thank you so much.

Don't thank me yet.

Did you show her what she's gonna do?

Yes, ma'am. She'll be working the register

and stocking the shelves.

I check the register at random every day,

so you're gonna have to

account for every dime.

- No problem.

- Random!

I got it.

Brice tells me you're from Boston?

Yeah.

You don't sound like you come from Boston.

Do you know Boston?

No. I've never been there. Yet.

What part of Boston?

Roxbury.

Are you married?

No. I'm not married.

Do you have kids?

No.

So should I get to work?

Yeah, there's a box of deodorant

under the counter

that needs to be restocked.

You can start there.

Okay.

Nice meeting you. Thank you.

Hey-

No husband?

And that blouse she's wearing?

And those boots?

She's a lesbian.

Does it matter?

No. I don't think people will think

there's anything between us,

but you never know. People talk.

Yeah.

Matchmaking. I don't know

how I feel about all this.

I'm sorry?

Well, it's a dating service for the rich.

I just... I'm not sure this is something

I should be investing in.

You know, it's kinda strange.

Yeah.

So you agree with that?

A little bit. Yeah.

So I shouldn't invest?

I'm not saying that.

I would never say that.

Like you said, it's a little strange.

A little odd. Little unnatural.

Bunch of old guys paying to meet women.

I'm gonna shut up. I'm saying too much.

No, no, honestly, continue, please.

I kind of prefer the old-fashioned way

of finding love, but...

Well, I completely agree. I do.

But, let me play devil's advocate.

So, more than half of all new relationships

are started online in this day and age.

- Yeah.

- Right.

So it's obvious, she definitely...

She has something going here.

I'm just not sure exactly how I fit into it.

That's why I'm here.

To help you figure that out.

I think we can start with the Wise Counsel

questionnaire that I developed.

And pretty much we use it to see

whether or not someones compatible.
