Oh Richard

Cliche exit scene, hand on the doorknob with that straight faced serious look.
-Well Richard, it's been good.
"Richard" is still sitting on the sofa, not sure what just happened.
-What are you talking about? We didn't discuss anything. And my name's not Richard, it's Ed.
-Ed?
-Yes, Ed.
-Well, Ed, this is exactly what we've been talking about. This here is a perfect example. You can't be so negative all the time. It's simply uncouth. I mean...where would we be if all we talked about was how 2+2 can't equal 22?
-But it isn't 22...it's 4 (Ed, seems confused)
-No! No, see that's the fantastic part, 2+2 CAN equal 22! You need to see the potential of things.
-The potential...?
-Yes, precisely Richard. The potential.
-But 2+2=4 and I'm not Richard. I'm Ed.
Man standing by the door sighs and looks at him.
-Well I thought we had been making real progress but you are obviously disturbed.
-By asserting facts?
-By your lack of consideration to ideas outside of your own. You simply can't be so close-minded all the time (pause) you can't go through life like this!
-I really don't think I'm disturbed, Dr. Phil.
-Nonsense Richard. (Dr. Phil smiles kindly) Now you just march out there and tell Nancy to schedule you for another session.
-Her name's Jeanette.
Dr. Phil smiles again, this time obviously strained. It's almost a grimace.
-Alright Richard, alright. Her name's Jeanette. (He says this last part in a patronizing tone.)
Ed is exasperated, gets up and shuffles past Dr. Phil.
-Don't despair Richard, you're making great progress. Just think about what I told you and we'll talk next week.
