details of your childhood,

The appointment's not for me,

It's for you,

I lied,

EXcuse me?

You're the one who's been

so depressed lately,

Rosie, I don't need

therapy,

Why, the very idea!

Now I suggest that

you go back in there

and you keep

your appointment,

Aurora!

[Singing]

[Ding Dong]

Be right there!

Mrs, Greenway?

Yes,

Jerry Bruckner,

God, I am running

so late today,

I'm sorry,

Please come on in,

- Oh, sorry,

- No, I apologize,

Forgive me,

We have been

the victims of, uh,,,

a very elaborate

ruse.

Oh,

Yes, my maid tricked me

into coming here,

Oh,

I,,, Dr, Bruckner,

I wasn't seeking analysis,

and I'm not now,

I'm not a doctor,

I'm a licensed counselor,

What does that mean,

Mr, Bruckner?

I listen, I try

to make people feel better,

Well,,,

sorry for

the misunderstanding,

Obviously my maid

is the one who is disturbed,

I'm surrounded by the most

taxing array of lunatics,

Me, too,

It's the job,

Well, good-bye,

And I'm clearly not

the sort of woman

who would,,,

be free in sharing

and revealing her secrets,

You understand?

Well, many people

feel that way,

It was a pleasure

meeting you,

Do you have a card?

Certainly,

Thank you,

Good-bye,

Mrs, Greenway,

And I'm awfully

sorry.

[Laughs]

Forget it,

We'll meet, we'll meet,

we'll meet

Beyond the shore

We'll kiss,,,

You are

so f***ing fired,

Yeah,,, right,

Class, the quality

of your exams

surprised even me,

Some of you are even

beginning to grasp

early 20th

century literature,

[Bell Rings]

That's it,

Class dismissed,

Professor?

Professor!

A D-plus?

That sucks!

Ms, Horton, your defense

of Rupert Brooke's Georgianism

is flawed,

What is the matter with bucking

conventional criticism?

Brooke protested against

Victorianism and he kicked ass,

and I deserve an "A,"

No, Ms, Horton,

You don't,

Yes, I do,

Mmm!

You are on the thinnest

of ice, Rosie,

Perfect timing,

Duck Madagascar,

Mmm, I've eaten,

[Running Garbage

Disposal]

I got hungry,

and so I ate,

Jesus!

Did I say anything?

Oh, no,

Of course not,

I should just be grateful

you went to class for a change,

I'm gonna quit,

Do you know how much Rice University

costs, Melanie?

I had to sell

my Renoir

so you could have

an education,

Oh, I thought you sold the Renoir

for Teddy's braces,

Or then again,

didn't you sell the Renoir

for Tommy's legal

defense?

The money from

that Renoir's

like splinters from the true cross,

Everybody's got a piece!

You are so ungrateful,

You are the only one

of your mother's children

that has a real chance

at a life,

Why do you insist on being

so self-destructive?

I'm not being

self-destructive!

I'm just...
