The Making of 'Dr. T and the Women' Page #4

---

All right. Thanks very much.

Can you hurry that up?

Can we let my client out?

You made me make a mistake.

Darling?

Did something happen there?

Is that why you did it? Why did you

take your clothes off in the mall?

My sleeves got wet

and they got really, really long...

...like a straitjacket.

Did you go in the fountain?

You didn't even get wet.

Hey, talk to me.

- Hi.

- Hey.

You think there's someplace

I could take a bath here?

We'll do that when we get home.

Oh, no. We can't do that anymore.

It's not nice.

Right now I'm not ruling anything out.

Especially since I personally have

never had a case like Kate's before.

But I am looking into

a lot of possibilities.

One of which is called

the Hestia Complex.

Hestia Complex? What is it?

Hestia was a Greek goddess. She was

the goddess of the home and hearth.

She kept the fires burning.

She was the guardian of family life.

But in an interesting contradiction,

she came to despise love...

...and consequently, to reject it.

Eventually, she retreated

to a single life...

...and peculiarly, was allowed...

...to become the guardian

of virginal modesty.

What has all this got to do with Kate?

In clinical psychology, as well

as in my own documented theories...

...which are based in mythology...

...virgin essentially means child.

Now Kate has retreated

into a childlike state.

There could be any number

of reasons for it.

At this point... And yes, I must...

...look into all the possibilities.

But at this point...

...the Hestia Complex

seems the most likely.

All right. Take a deep puff.

All right, no puff.

Oh, wow, this fur is great.

Didn't it used to be sheepskin

or something?

My aunt died in August and she gave me

this ratty old mink coat.

It was falling apart,

but the sleeves were still good.

It was just enough to cover

the three rooms.

I left Kate a message...

You're the only one I let smoke

in here. Will you give me a break?

I left Kate a message last week,

but she never called me back.

Yeah, well, she's away

for a while now.

Sorry, I haven't been

very good about...

...checking her voice mail.

Look at me. Look up. There.

Actually, I just wanted to talk

to you about something.

What about? Lie down.

Well, I'm president of the Beauty

and Fairness for Dallas Club.

Is that a new club?

We're a spinoff of the Garden Club.

We promote women's issues.

We're looking for a male voice to help

present our cause to the city council.

What's the cause?

The freeway issue. We think

one should be named for a woman.

Do you realize that every freeway

in Dallas is named for a man?

I'm so terribly sorry.

I hope you'll forgive me.

- Hi, Peggy!
