INT. PSYCHIATRIST'S OFFICE - DAY. BILL sits opposed his PSYCHIATRIST, to whom the VOICE belongs. BILL I don't kill myself at the end. PSYCHIATRIST Do you see this as something positive? BILL Gee, I don't know. PSYCHIATRIST How do you feel at the end? BILL Much better. I wake up happy. Feeling good. But then I get very depressed because I'm living in reality. PSYCHIATRIST And you wouldn't kill people in real life. BILL No. I don't think so. PSYCHIATRIST You don't sound so certain. BILL I'm thinking about my patients. PSYCHIATRIST What about them? BILL My patients are ugly. Their problems are trite. Each one thinks he is unique. On a professional level they bore me. On a personal level I have no sympathy. They deserve what they get. PSYCHIATRIST And what about your family? BILL Trish is good to me. PSYCHIATRIST But still no sex? BILL No. But she's not too interested, either. So really there's no problem there, when you think about it, on a certain level. 21. INT. BILL'S KITCHEN - EVENING. 21. BILLY ENTERS, opens the refrigerator, pours himself a soda. He looks dejected. BILL Hey, Billy! What's going on? BILLY Nothing. TRISH He's (making quotation marks with her fingers) "depressed." BILL Is something the matter? BILLY I don't wanna talk about it. And he leaves for the TV room again. TRISH Ignore him. He's just doing it for attention. He thinks you'll be impressed. As if. So anyway Joy came by today. BILL How's she doing? TRISH Oh, God, I dunno, and frankly I'm concerned. I mean, she's not like me. She doesn't "have it all." She pretends to be happy, but I can see right through her: she's miserable. BILL Why do you think that is? TRISH To be frank, I think she's lazy. She's not a go-getter, like me or Helen. And she's so picky. I gave Damien Ross her phone number, for what it's worth, and Joy sounded interested, naturally, but I dunno. I'm afraid to have to say it, but truly it's what I believe: she'll always be alone. BILL We're all alone. TRISH Oh, Bill. Sometimes I wonder how any of your patients can talk to you. BILL Sometimes I wonder if they'll ever stop. I should tape some for you. TRISH Would you? Would you really? So that I could listen, too? BILL No. TRISH You're such a tease. You know I wouldn't tell anyone. BILL I know. 'Cause you're so secretive. TRISH Well, maybe not as secretive as you. BILL What secret would you like me to tell you? IRISH puts her arms around BILL.
