She's Lost Control Page #4

---

he sort of...

He shoots it down.

And, um, I see him

get triggered by me,

I try to let him know

that I'm here and available

and he... it... it's,

I don't know,

he thinks it's bullshit

or something and...

Well, remember that empathy

is more important than sympathy.

Right.

Did he talk to you about, um,

you know, reducing

his anxiety by drinking?

Yeah, we talked about it.

And I said that

if it eased his anxiety,

one drink prior to the session

was acceptable.

Two are not.

Is that okay with you?

Yeah, it's okay.

So,

how do you feel about him?

You want to continue?

I mean, how do you feel?

I got it.

I got it, I can handle it.

I don't wanna give up on him,

you know?

I don't... I don't wanna...

I wanna crack him.

Doctor, please.

Do you feel lightheaded at all?

We've got the magic number.

Twenty-three oocytes

were retrieved.

I'm guessing up to 20 of those

will be mature and suitable

for preservation.

That's almost twice

as much as last time.

You did great.

I think you're

perfectly safe now.

There's no need for you

to undergo another cycle.

Are you sure?

We got you.

Save your money.

Buy something else for yourself.

Tomorrow we should have

the definite results.

Just remember,

light daily activities

starting tomorrow.

No hard work, no hot baths,

no sauna for at least five days.

And no unprotected

sexual relations

until your next menstrual cycle.

Sounds good.

Someone driving you home?

I live nearby, I'll be fine.

The front desk will call

a cab for you.

I wanted to be a clinician,

too, you know,

when I was younger.

But then things just

took off on their own

and it was a different time,

early '80s.

But I think it's great

that you're getting

your master's degree.

It puts you in

a much better position,

also from a legal standpoint.

How many people

are in this class?

This year there's seven

plus the two of us.

Should be fun.

We get to spend some time

and come back.

Not bad.

Irene, can I ask you something?

Of course.

Spit it out.

So, I want to buy

an apartment in the city,

a place to have my own practice

in a couple of years

once I get my license

and all that.

And I was looking into

a no-doc mortgage,

which means that I wouldn't

have to disclose

any of my income,

just my credit score,

but I would need a cosigner.

It's...

...a big commitment.

An apartment, I mean...

I'd have to think about it.

I completely understand.

Hey, Alan, it's Ronah.

Did Johnny Hayes

cancel with you?

If you get this

within the next 15 minutes,

please give me a call back.

Hi.

Hi.

Long shift, my phone died,

and I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I'm not really

in the mood to talk.

I'm not either.
