Women In Trouble Page #2

- My room was her room.

- And you're sure she's a ghost

and not an imaginary friend?

- Apples and oranges.

l really miss her.

- What's the difference

between a ghost

and an imaginary friend?

- lmaginary friends

you just make up.

You tell them what to do.

You can't do that with a ghost.

They show up, leave,

get bored, annoy you,

make you laugh.

- How do they annoy you?

- They move stuff around.

And they pull on your feet

when you sleep

and put your socks

in the fishbowl.

- What's that chain

you always wear?

- lt-it's Spanish.

lt's what l use

to hypnotize people.

Sometimes l see things,

stuff that's not the way

it should be.

But if l tell people about it,

they freak out.

lf l use this,

they tell themselves

they're under my spell

so that they can accept

what l say.

- Give me an example.

- You want me to hypnotize you?

- Let's give it a try.

- You're Addy-

my mom's therapist.

- Now l'm your therapist too,

right?

- All right.

Look straight into the amulet

and try not to think

about anything else.

Do you trust me?

- Mm-hmm.

Yep.

- Okay.

l want you to get up

and walk into

your husband's office.

Did you hear me?

But you won't do it.

- Sorry.

This isn't working.

- That's what you think.

- Why do you want me to go

into my husband's office?

- lt's not that l want you to.

l just...

l think you're so caught up

in saying

what you think

people need to hear

that you can't see what's

right in front of your face.

- And what would that be?

- Your husband...

and my mom having an affair.

- Now, why would you say

a thing like that?

- This is a big deal for her.

She's never done anything

like this before.

- Stop it.

- She's following

your own advice

of acting irresponsible

and letting loose

for once in her life.

- Your mom tells you

what we discuss in her sessions?

- l read her diary.

Please don't be mad at me.

- Why are you doing this?

- l don't want

to be doing anything,

but it's the truth.

She drops me off

then parks down the block

and spends 50 minutes

with Mr. McPherson.

You're basically the world's

most overqualified babysitter.

- l need to use the restroom.

l'll be right back.

- l'm so sorry, Maxine.

- Hey, honey.

- Hey, what's up?

- Nothing.

You?

- Nothing.

- l was just on my way

to the bathroom

and thought l'd stop by

and say hi.

- Oh, okay.

Well, hi.

We still on for dinner tonight?

- You bet.

- Okay.

- Jesus f***ing Paul and Mary.

- lt's okay.

Nothing happened.

- What are you, f***ing high?

She knows.

- She doesn't know.

Nothing happened.

- Nothing happened?

- Did you make the reservations,

or was l supposed to?

- Oh, l'll take care of it.
