Come on.

You know, I'm always interested

in new techniques.

Psychophysiological, hm?

It's a branch of psychology

that deals with

the fundamental relationships

between mind and body.

So it's psychophysiological

autogenesis.

Alphagenics for short.

- Alphagenic?

- Mm.

I've been experimenting

with it up at my place...

- You live near here?

- Not far.

You do this experiment

at your house, hm?

Oh, yes, it's much better there. It's

warm and informal. At the precinct...

Seems like an interesting setup.

In fact...

Thank you.

- What do you want?

- Your check, sir.

- Yeah, I saw it.

- Oh, it is getting late.

Why don't you just run along, huh?

- Yes, sir.

- Waiter, just a minute.

It's after three.

I have to be going.

- What are you doin'?

- Dutch.

- You're the girl, aren't you?

- There have been rumours to that effect.

Well, you just sit back

and act like one.

How?

Take everything you can get,

that's how.

Is that the way the

girls act in Arizona?

That's the way everybody

acts everywhere.

You too?

- Especially me.

- Thank you.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

- Uh... I'll take my bag.

- That's all right. I'll carry it.

- But I have to go now.

- Fine. Where to?

You don't understand.

I have a dozen things to do.

- Good. I'll help you.

- But I'll be all day and half the night.

I've got nothing but time.

I wouldn't get too

comfortable, Mr Coogan.

Nobody calls me "Mr"

with my boots off.

I don't know your first name.

How about just Coogan,

without the "Mr"?

Julie.

I don't remember telling you mine.

Yeah, well,

that's my police trainin'.

Po-lice trainin'?

Yeah.

See, it's on your magazines here.

Name and address

of the subscription.

How are you?

I thought you wanted

to learn about alphagenics.

Oh, I do. I do.

Good.

My files.

I only handle young,

single girls.

Yeah.

Me too.

Now, briefly...

autogenesis is basically

a programme of...

self-regeneration,

- the main point of attack being the...

- What?

core of self-contempt

that is always a principal factor.

This we do by means...

of a tape recorder,

which is right here.

The programme is based on behavioural

psychological principles,

the position being that all

human and animal response...

is the result of...

conditioned reflex...

which, as you know, is simply

a particular bodily response...

to a particular...

stimulus.

- Phone.

- Forget it.

Hello?

Yes, this is she. Who?

Laura!

It's one of my girls.

Yes?

Oh, not him again.

Now, you know that the terms of your

probation specifically stated that...

Well, of course it's difficult.

I understand that

better than you think.

Well, yes, he's...

You can always say no,
