Dialogue
Attractive Woman: (in therapy session) I know you have a lot of girls talking to you. Why don’t we go back to my place? I wanna explore every inch of your body. Will you just fuck me?
Peter: You’re suffering from OSD, which is obsessive sexual desires. So I’d like for you to read my book. This book will show you how to rechannel those negative sexual impulses. Example: Instead of copulation, try communication.
Peter: How could you possibly relate to me?
James: Hey, don’t talk to your mother like that.
Peter: You don’t get it! You’ll never get it! You’re like from another planet or something! I hate you! I wish I was never even born!
(stomps off to his room)
James Newmans: (wistfully) I’ve been waiting 15 years for him to do that.
