Sit down with the TherapistA Screenplay by Ian FarawayThis didn't happen and it was only an idea. That I clearly loved.Therapist: Ok, Dakota. How are you feeling today? Dakota: Pretty good, I guess. Therapist: That’s good because today I want to ask you a series of questions. They’re not going to be about you, per say, but about your thoughts and feelings towards the outside world. Dakota: …Alright? Therapist: Great. Remember there are no such things as ‘wrong answers’. Ok, here we go. “Roses are red, violets are…” Dakota: Are not red. Therapist: (scribbles on notepad) “The actress Angelina Jolie is…” Dakota: Crazy sexy. Therapist: “Jimmy cracks corn…” Dakota: Contrary to popular belief, I DO care. Therapist: It’s always a good thing to care.” The best snack is…” Dakota: Brownies… because I AM the Brownie KING! Therapist: …ok? “The best passion is the passion of…” Dakota: I believe it’s the passion of all things that one can NOT be passionate about… maybe it’s just me. Therapist: (sighs) “Terrorists spread…” Dakota: Um…. Terror? Therapist: “What’s your middle name?” Dakota: Karma (smiles) Therapist: On your birth certificate it says ‘William’ Dakota: Ones imaginary. Therapist: Alright, we are SO done. Dakota: How’d I do? Therapist: Horrible. Violets are blue, you only got very small points for saying it’s not red. And terrorists don’t spread terror, they spread fear. There is a difference. Dakota: But they’re called ‘TERRORists’ for a reason. Therapist: Yeah, that’s because it’s catchy. You don’t see people saying ‘Hey, we’re in Iraq beating up Fearists.’ It just doesn’t work. Dakota: Alright, so I got two out of like six questions wrong. Still good. Therapist: No you don’t. The brownie king thing was ridiculous and your middle name is ‘William’ not ‘Karma’ and you don’t have an imaginary middle name. Dakota: How would you know? Can you see my imaginary middle name? Therapist: BUT I gave you some extra points for the Angelina Jolie question. Dakota: (long pause) Wait a second, I thought you said there were no wrong answers. Therapist: I lied. © 2010 Ian Faraway |
