Melinda: I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT I WAS TRANSGRESSING MY LOVE FOR DAN ONTO YOU, AND YOU WERE COUNTERTRANSGRESSING. TRANSFERRING! BULLSHIT! YEAH, ANY TIME A SHRINK IS THINKING ABOUT A PATIEN MORE THAN HE NORMALLY DOES, HE SHOULD ASK HIMSELF, "AM I COUNTERTRANSFERRING?" SHUT UP. YOU CAN'T EVEN GET AN ERECTION, FOR GOD S-- I JUST HAD ONE, BUDDY. [BOTH GRUNTING] HAIR! HAIR! HE'S BITING! Dan: I GOT HIM! Melinda: DR. PAIGE, THANK GOD YOU'RE HERE. 3 PEAS IN A POD. EMILY, THEY WERE FORNICATING LIKE A COUPLE OF HONEYMOONERS. DR. PAIGE, MELINDA AND I HAVE WORKED THROUGH OUR PROBLEM. SHUT UP. YOU-- AAH! DR. PAIGE! AAH! IT'S ALL RIGHT! IT'S OK! SORRY!

SAVE YOUR ENGAGING DEVICES, ROGER. NO MORE BULLSHIT! [SIREN] NONE! I'VE COME FOR US! SORRY! SORRY. OVER HERE! OVER HERE! HURRY! HURRY! OVER HERE! HURRY! DR. PAIGE HAS A GUN. WHO'S DR. PAIGE? OUR MARRIAGE COUNSELOR. SHE'S GONNA KILL MY HUSBAND AND DR. KLINK. YOUR MARRIAGE COUNSELOR'S GONNA KILL YOUR HUSBAND? AND DR. KLINK. DR. PAIGE, HI. UH, I WANNA THANK YOU FOR GIVING MELINDA AND I THE-- THE TOOLS TO HELP COMMUNICATE AND SHARE OUR FEELINGS. SHUT UP! OK. EMILY, YOU'RE VERY UPSET. SOMETIMES WE CAN FEEL AS IF OUR LIVES ARE JUST SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL, JUST SPIRALING. SAVE YOUR PSYCHOBABBLE FOR YOUR LITTLE DOE-EYED PATIENTS, ROGER. OK. OK, TERRIFIC. YOU TWO OBVIOUSLY HAVE SOME ISSUES YOU NEED TO WORK THROUGH. [SIREN] THANK GOD. NO. NO. WAIT. MOVE IT, KLINK. OUT OF MY WAY! MEL, IT'S ME! OPEN UP! Dan: SOMEBODY HELP ME! Melinda: DON'T WORRY, DANNY! WOW. WHAT DO WE GOT, SIR? HOSTAGE SITUATION. 2 THERAPISTS. DOMESTIC OR INTERNATIONAL? THERAPISTS. SHRINKS. SHRINKS? IT'S A JOKE, RIGHT? SOME KIND OF SURPRISE PARTY? IT'S NOT A GODDAMN PARTY. IT'S VERY SERIOUS. HER MARRIAGE COUNSELOR'S THREATENING TO KILL HER HUSBAND AND HER THERAPIST. HE'S NOT TECHNICALLY MY THERAPIST. HEY, YOU'RE THE LADY FROM THOSE SEX TAPES. SEX TAPES? WHAT SEX TAPES? HIS HANDS WERE UNDER MY DRESS, FIRMLY HOLDING ON TO MY HIPS, MOVING ME BACK AND FORTH AWAY FROM HIM. OK, MAYBE I BETTER START AT THE BEGINNING. ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, DANNY LOST HIS ERECTION. YOU GOTTA SEE THESE TAPES, SIR. PRETTY SOON, DANNY AND ME WEREN'T EVEN TALKING, AND THEN DANNY SLEPT WITH THAT COCKTAIL WAITRESS. I THOUGHT HE COULDN' GET AN ERECTION. SO DID I. RIGHT. OUR MARRIAGE WAS DOOMED. THEN I SAW DR. PAIGE'S AD ON A BUS BENCH. "SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE TODAY." [HARP GLISSANDO PLAYING] "TOMORROW WILL BE TOO LATE." HER BIG DEAL IS HONESTY. HONESTY FIRST. THE KEY IS HONESTY. [SIGHS] MARRIAGE IS HARD. I KNOW. I'VE BEEN MARRIED 3 TIMES. YOU'RE DIVORCED? 3 TIMES. THAT'S WHY I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE-- WHAT KIND OF TRACK RECORD IS THAT FOR A MARRIAGE COUNSELOR? DAN! DAN? WHAT, "DAN"? COME ON. WE'RE TAKING MARRIAGE ADVICE FROM SOMEBODY THAT'S BEEN DIVORCED AND ADVERTISES ON BUS BENCHES. WH-WHAT? STAY WITH US, DAN. YOU KNOW THE STORY ABOUT THE GUY WHO GOES TO THE BARBERSHOP. THERE ARE 2 BARBERS, BOTH AVAILABLE. ONE BARBER HAS A TERRIFIC HAIRCUT. THE OTHER BARBER'S HAIR LOOKS JUST AWFUL. WHICH BARBER WOULD YOU GO TO? YOU'D GO TO THE BARBER WITH THE BAD HAIRCUT, NOT THE BARBER WITH THE GOOD HAIRCUT, SEE? THE BAD HAIRCUT CUTS THE OTHER ONE'S HAIR, AND VICE VERSA. THAT IS WHY IT IS ACTUALLY A PLUS THAT I'M THRICE DIVORCED. OK. LET'S START OVER. WHAT DO YOU WAN OUT OF THIS THERAPY? WE... I WANNA SAVE OUR MARRIAGE. UH, YEAH. ME-- ME, TOO, YEAH. GREAT. NOW TALKING ABOU OUR PROBLEMS IS THE FIRST STEP. YOU CAN TELL ME ANYTHING, AND HOPEFULLY YOU TWO CAN LEARN TO COMMUNICATE HONESTLY WITH EACH OTHER. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? WELL, UH... DANNY AND ME... WE HAVEN'T BEEN... FAMILIAR WITH EACH OTHER IN A WHILE. "FAMILIAR"? INTIMATE. NO SEXUAL INTERCOURSE? JESUS, LADY. WHAT ABOUT ORAL SEX OR MUTUAL MASTURBATION? OH, MY GOD, MEL. LET'S GET OUTTA HERE. WE DON'T NEED TO SEE SOME SHRINK. NO. I THINK WE DO, DAN. HE HAS A PROBLEM WITH-- DON'T. COME ON. WHY? MR. HAPPY. [GROANS] "MR. HAPPY"? [WHISPERING] His penis. MY--JUST SAY IT! PENIS! I CAN'T GET MY PENIS TO STAND UP. I-I-I'M IMPOTEN OR SOMETHING. I CAN'T WAKE THE BABY. I-I'VE-- I CAN'T GET A HARD-ON! IS EVERYBODY HAPPY NOW?! CAN WE GO? DAN IS IMPOTENT. ONLY WITH ME. THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT. DAN ACCIDENTALLY SCREWED THAT COCKTAIL WAITRESS! I THOUGHT DAN COULDN' GET AN ERECTION. SO DID I. WELL, MELINDA'S BEEN SO DAMN DEPRESSED LATELY, YOU KNOW? IT'S PRETTY DEPRESSING WHEN YOU CAN'T EXCITE YOUR OWN HUSBAND. [TIMER DINGS] GREAT. WE HAVE MADE SOME REAL PROGRESS. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR HANDS. DR. PAIGE. [BANGS GAVEL] YOU MAY REJOIN THE GROUP. [SCATTERED MUTTERING] DR. PAIGE, IT IS THE DUTY OF THIS COMMITTEE TO DEFEND THE INTEGRITY OF THE PSYCHIATRIC ARTS IN THE BOISE, NAMPA, CALDWELL TRI-CITY AREA. DR. PAIGE... I-- IF WE ALLOW BUS BENCH ADVERTISING, WHAT'S NEXT? BILLBOARDS? CABLE TV? [SCATTERED LAUGHTER] FOLLOWING OUR BYLAWS PERTAINING TO OUTDOOR ADVERTISING, THE FINE IS SET AT $250. [BANGS GAVEL] ROGER! HUH? OH. HELLO, EMILY. SORRY ABOUT THE FINE. AH, IT'S ONLY 250 BUCKS. I'LL WRITE IT OFF. OH. BESIDES, I ALREADY GO A COUPLE OF CLIENTS FROM THE BUS BUNCH. IT'S FUNNY. I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU THE OTHER DAY. ME? REALLY? ARE YOU SEEING ANYONE NEW? OH, I'M S-STILL MARRIED. I--I MEANT PATIENTS. TH-THERE'S A WOMAN I'D LIKE YOU TO SEE. SHE'S VERY, VERY DEPRESSED. I THINK HER DEPRESSION IS AT THE ROO OF HER SEXUAL PROBLEMS WITH HER HUSBAND. YOU COULD REALLY HELP HER. I'VE BEEN SCALING BACK. I'M NOT REALLY ADDING PATIENTS. WELL, WE TALKED ABOU HOW GREAT IT WOULD BE TO COLLABORATE SOMETIME, AND THIS COUPLE'S PERFECT. UH, MARRIAGE IS ON THE ROCKS. I'LL TAKE THE BOY. YOU TAKE THE GIRL. WE CAN CONFER AND STRATEGIZE, SEE IF TOGETHER WE CAN HELP SAVE THEIR MARRIAGE. HOW'S YOUR WIFE? OK. AND YOUR HUSBAND? UH, TH-THE NEW ONE. HE'S MY NEW EX. I MOVED OU LAST WEEKEND. REALLY? JUST... LIKE THAT. JUST LIKE THAT. IT'S FOR THE BEST. SO WHAT DO YOU SAY? THERE'S NOTHING ELSE TO SAY. DAN'S GONE OFF ME. [SIGHS] THIS IS A WASTE OF TIME. OK, I FEEL LIKE WE'RE STUCK. MELINDA, I WANT YOU TO SEE A COLLEAGUE OF MINE. YOU'RE GIVING UP ON ME? I WANT YOU TO SEE DR. KLINK. HE'S SOMETHING OF A DEPRESSION EXPER FROM THE OLD SCHOOL. WHAT'S A DEPRESSION EXPERT?

I KEEP THINKING IT'LL PASS, BUT IT DOESN'T. YOU'RE A LITTLE HANGDOG ONE MORNING. THEN SUDDENLY YOU'RE ON A SHRINK'S LAP. CHAIR. HEH. [SNICKERS] HEH HEH HEH. WELL, YOU DON'T... SEEM VERY DEPRESSED RIGHT THIS MOMENT. I'M NOT. I WAS. I ALMOST DIDN'T GE OFF THE ELEVATOR. IT'S PRETTY DEPRESSING TO THINK YOU NEED TO SEE A DEPRESSION EXPERT. MY MARRIAGE EXPERT'S BEEN DIVORCED 3 TIMES. YOU MUST BE REALLY DEPRESSED. LET'S... UM, SO, W-WHY DON'T YOU, UM, TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOU? I'M MARRIED TO A MAN WHO DOESN'T GET TURNED ON BY ME. AH.

OF COURSE. DAN STARTED SLEEPING IN THE LIVING ROOM ON THE COUCH THAT'S THE BEGINNING OF THE END, DON'T YOU THINK? [DOG BARKING] IT CERTAINLY SUGGESTS A LACK OF INTIMACY. WE STOPPED BEING INTIMATE ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO. I SHOULDN' TELL YOU THIS. NO, NO. YOU JUST--NO, NO. DR. KLINK. NO, NO, NO. I'M S-- PLEASE, SIT DOWN. I... YOU CAN TELL ME ANYTHING THAT... REALLY.

DESIRE FADES. THAT--THAT IS A DEPRESSING THOUGHT. YES. IT I-- I-- I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY. I'M IN A TRANSITIONAL PHASE IN MY LIFE, AND I... I'M NOT TAKING-- TAKING ON ANY MORE PATIENTS. BUT SEE, YOU HELPED ME ALREADY. REALLY, I CAN'T. IF THERE WERE 2 SHRINKS IN A SMALL TOWN AND ONE WAS CRAZY AND THE OTHER SANE, WHICH ONE WOULD YOU GO TO SEE, THE CRAZY ONE OR THE SANE ONE? I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ONE BEFORE. YOU'D GO TO THE CRAZY ONE. 'CAUSE IF THERE WERE ONLY TWO IN THE TOWN, YOU'D WANNA SEE THE ONE WHO HELPED THE OTHER ONE.

I MEAN, IF I WAS YOUR THERAPIST, WHICH I'M NOT, BUT... YOU KNOW, WE HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON. THIS ISN' A RELATIONSHIP BASED ON MUTUAL RESPEC OR UNDERSTANDING OR COMMON INTERESTS. IT'S BASED ON SEX.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE THE WOMAN STANDING NEX TO ROGER KLINK? OF COURSE I DO. WOULD YOU PLEASE READ WHAT'S WRITTEN ON THE BACK OF THE PHOTO. "TO A GREAT ORATOR, LOVE, E.R." WHO'S E.R.? EMILY RICE. Ezri: WHO IS EMILY RICE? ME. I AM. UH... I WAS. MY SECOND FORMER HUSBAND WAS EUGENE RICE. WHAT DID YOU MEAN, "A GREAT ORATOR"? IT'S DOUBLE ENTENDRE. IT--NO BIG DEAL. IT REFERS TO ORAL SEX. WE HAD A FLING IN DENVER. [GASPS] WE HARDLY LEFT THE ROOM FOR 3 DAYS, ALTHOUGH IT WAS MORE OF A WORKSHOP, CONSIDERING ROGER WAS A SEXUAL FLEDGLING. I OBJECT! IT'S THE TRUTH. I TUTORED HIM IN VARIOUS SEXUAL TECHNIQUES. GRANTED, HE-- HE WAS A QUICK LEARNER. HE MADE THE GREATEST STRIDES IN THE ORAL DISCIPLINES, HENCE "A GREAT ORATOR." ORAL? YOU AND DR. KLINK? I NAMED HIS PENIS MR. MAJESTIC. TO BOOST HIS CONFIDENCE. OH, JESUS-- OH, GOD! OH, MAN. SHOULD I GO OFF RECORD? DON'T YOU DARE. I SHOWED HIM EVERYTHING. I CRAMMED 6 MONTHS OF TRAINING INTO 3 DAYS. OH, AND WE HAD AN ELEVATOR IN DENVER. YOU TWO HAD SEX IN AN ELEVATOR? WELL-- WELL, HE WAS TOO TIMID. "WHAT IF SOMEONE COMES? I'M SO SCARED." YOU WERE LIKE A SUPERCHARGED SEX INSTRUCTOR! A SQUARE-DANCE CALLER! "ROLL OVER. "RUB HERE. TOUCH THIS. ON YOUR BACK. ON YOUR KNEES." UHH! IT WAS LIKE SEXUAL BOOT CAMP. YOU LOVED IT, AND THEN YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO SHARE MY ADVANCED CIRCLE TECHNIQUE WITH HER. THOSE CIRCLES ARE MINE! I GAVE HIM THAT TECHNIQUE. BUT THAT'S ALL IT IS TO YOU, TECHNIQUE AND DISCIPLINES, MANEUVERS. I MEAN, IF YOU HAD JUST SHUT UP ONCE DURING THE WHOLE WEEKEND AND LET ME BE ME, I MIGHT NEVER HAVE GONE BACK TO MY WIFE. YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD ME, DR. PAIGE. IT HAD NO BEARING. YOU PRESSED ME TO SUE HIM. YOU WANTED TO NAIL THE BASTARD. YOU USED ME TO GE BACK AT DR. KLINK! HOW COULD YOU? YOU, YOU STOLE THE CIRCLES FROM DR. PAIGE! HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED. NO, NO! I WAS TRYING TO HELP! YOU USED MRS. CARMICHAEL, A BROKEN WOMAN. WHO WAS UNABLE TO DEFEND HERSELF FROM THE ADVANCES OF THIS SEXUAL PREDATOR. PREDATOR? HE'S A LEAF-EATER, A SEXUAL HERBIVORE. I OBJECT. TH-- A PREDATOR CREATED BY DR. PAIGE. OH, BUT THEN--BUT THEN HER CREATION SPURNED HER. SO YOU SET OU TO DESTROY HIM, AND THIS INNOCENT WOMAN JUST GOT IN YOUR WAY. NONE OF THIS IS TRUE! YOU HAVE RUINED MY LIFE, DR. PAIGE. MY MARRIAGE IS OVER, DAN'S BECOME A GREEDY ASSHOLE, AND HIS SHIT BROTHER IS SELLING THE DEPOSITION TAPES AT LOCAL BARS! WHA-- I DID IT! OH, YOU'RE FIRED. YOU CAN'T FIRE HER. SHE'S PREGNANT. UHH. THE TAPES ARE MEANINGLESS NOW. REMEMBER YOUR WISH LAST NIGHT, CONSUELA? LAST NIGHT? THAT BOTH OF US COULD WIN THIS CASE. THAT ISN'T POSSIBLE, BUT I'VE COME UP WITH THE NEXT BEST THING. FIRST, YOU DROP YOUR SUIT AGAINST KLINK. DO WHAT? DROP THE SUIT? NEVER! YOU FILE A SUI ON BEHALF OF MRS. CARMICHAEL AND KLINK, THE REAL VICTIMS IN THIS CASE, AGAINS THE REAL VILLAIN, THE CONNIVING AND VENGEFUL DR. PAIGE. THIS'LL NEVER HOLD UP IN COURT. IT WON'T HAVE TO. YOU'LL SETTLE OUT OF COUR FOR 5 MILLION, WHICH THE COMPANY WILL AGREE TO. AND MELINDA AND KLINK WILL SPLIT 5 MILLION. MINUS 30%. EVERYONE'S A WINNER. WELL, NOT EVERYONE. ACCORDING TO THE SETTLEMENT, DR. PAIGE WILL LOSE HER LICENSE. LOSE MY LICENSE? BUT THERE IS AN ISLAND IN THE CARIBBEAN WHERE YOU DO NO NEED A LICENSE TO PRACTICE THE PSYCHIATRIC ARTS. AHH! [STAMMERS] GRAND CAYMAN. THE CARIBBEAN? BRILLIANT. IT'S A HAPPY ENDING. YOU ARE THE GREATEST. [PATS] [SNAPS] Ezri: COME HERE, YOU BIG LUG. MELINDA, ROGER, CONGRATULATIONS! WE WON! WE'RE RICH! Emily: THIS IS INSANE! I WON'T AGREE. I WANNA SPEAK TO MY ATTORNEY. I'M YOUR ATTORNEY. [SOBS] EVERY SHRINK IN THE GREAT STATE OF IDAHO HAS THE SAME MALPRACTICE PLAN AND THE SAME LAWYER, EZRI STOVALL. AS YOUR ATTORNEY AND THE ONE VOICE THE INSURANCE COMPANY LISTENS TO, I RECOMMEND WE SETTLE OUT OF COURT. BUT--BUT YOU NEVER SETTLE OUT OF COURT. I WILL FOR YOU. LOVE MEANS MAKING SACRIFICES. I'M SORRY, EMILY. WOULD YOU LIKE SOME CHAMPAGNE? [WHIMPERS] NO? MELINDA? AAH! GODDAMN LAWYERS AND DOCTORS, GO TO HELL! MELINDA? MELINDA, WAIT! AHH! GAHH! ROGER! WAIT! ROGER! ROGER! ROGER!
