She's Lost Control Page #3

---

We're working on an app

right now to help people

make up their minds.

Products, services,

pretty much anything

that can be liked.

Liked.

What?

I've seen that...

I've seen that on you before.

It's a Buddhist symbol.

A square in a circle.

It's from my mom.

Like, an old boyfriend

gave it to her or something.

I like it.

Thanks.

So I'm going to this gallery

opening tonight.

A friend of mine in the Village.

We're gonna go out afterwards.

- You got plans?

- Thank you.

I have this thing

in the morning, so...

- Totally.

- I can't drink.

That's fine, but thank you

for dinner.

You're welcome.

Thanks for coming over.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Okay.

Three deep breaths

while looking into

each other's eyes.

Less than 20 seconds.

Go.

I'm sorry.

I just had a f***ing great day.

Had a patient die on me.

It wasn't my fault, but...

Your fault?

He reminded me of my sister.

His legs...

Johnny, do you ever feel like

maybe taking care of her

is too much?

Like you can't do it anymore?

No.

I...

I couldn't...

I could never leave her.

You really love your sister?

Yeah.

That's a strange way to put it.

Don't you love your siblings?

You're an only child?

Why not?

How did you get into

this line of work?

Why are you asking me that?

I already know how to sleep

with women I don't know.

Do you not feel safe with me?

Now...

I want to strangle you.

Look.

In order for the work that we do

in this room to be effective,

I need you to trust

that when I'm here with you,

I am completely here.

Where I live, who I live with,

all of that stuff,

it really doesn't matter.

Can we agree on that?

Yeah.

Thanks.

You like looking at me?

Yeah.

Sorry.

Maybe this isn't a good idea.

I'm sorry about that.

You wanna talk about it?

I'll see you later.

Goodbye.

Alan, did you give my phone

number out to anybody?

No, of course not.

Are you sure?

100 percent. Why?

Why are you asking?

What's going on?

No, I'm just getting

these anonymous calls.

You can't caller ID it,

you can't track it?

No, it's, you know,

it's an unknown number.

Tell me what's going on.

What's going on?

I got it.

But something's getting to you.

Something's making you

feel uncomfortable.

What, I wonder?

I don't know,

I... I... I don't know

if it's countertransference

or what.

But what's your experience

in the session?

I don't know,

there's something about him

that doesn't,

won't let me in, you know?

I mean, maybe in moments,

but it...

But those are few

and far between and...

I go in with a pretty

firm resolve and a tactic

with something that I feel like

I sort of learned

from the last session

and then I go

to apply it and he...
