Elementary, my dear Miss Watson.

May I have your hand?

A slight discoloration on the ring finger.

And this rather fragile air about you

as if you've been recently damaged.

- Beautiful accent though. Swedish, isn't it?

- Yes.

I find your country to be very lovely.

Cold, but....

- 'Bye, Elizabeth.

- How'd you know my name?

Have you tried the drugs here?

You should, you know.

You shouldn't be allowed to prescribe

unless you know.

You see, because we hear

everything in the room.

- Be careful what you say.

- Sorry we didn't get to talk.

Yeah, I'm sorry too. I'm sorry. Sorry.

We could talk. We could talk.

Do you like choral music?

Beethoven:
Ninth Symphony, Ode to Joy?

You could use a little joy. I know I could.

I got tickets tonight.

We'll go. We'll fill our empty hearts.

We'll find an all-night cafe.

We'll be there all night long talking

as long as you want. What do you say?

Try, "yes". Give me your number.

I'll call you.

I didn't mean that.

- What did you mean?

- I mean, we could talk.

We are talking. But you need to talk.

I want you to talk.

We should talk here.

You were very distressed yesterday.

I think you need treatment.

- Yes, late! Late! Gotta go!

- Here's my card.

- Will you please call me?

- Absolutely! "Dr. Elizabeth Bowen!"

- Good-bye! Late! Gotta go!

- Will you call?

Yeah, probably not.

This was a standard-procedure release.

What's the problem here?

- I think he was misdiagnosed.

- How so?

He was psychotic but not schizophrenic.

He was expansive...

intrusive, inappropriate, euphoric.

I think he's a manic.

Okay, fine. Fine. He's manic.

You know, the guy refused medication.

It would've meant a hearing.

We would've lost.

Give him a few more hours

and he'll think he can fly again.

"I feel good

"Like I knew that I would now

"I feel good

"Like I knew that I would now

"I feel good

"So good

"I got you"

- She didn't have an account number...

- She said you were rude.

I just asked for verification.

We're the second largest

savings institution in this state.

We didn't get that way by being snotty.

You have a customer.

Hi, can I help you, sir?

Yes, I would like a double cheeseburger,

fries and a chocolate shake.

Just kidding.

- I'd like to close my account, please.

- You just opened this account last week.

Yeah, I'm a fickle kind of guy.

Oh, my goodness.

Okay, you have $12,752 in your account.

Do you want that in hundreds?

I'll leave that up

to your impeccable judgement.

I just want to make sure that

I have a nice big fat wad of fives...

for all the valet parking I plan to do.

- Don't forget the interest.

- Certainly.

- On five days?

- Yeah.

- That's 5.5 percent....
