Anger Management Page #9

Synopsis: Mild-mannered timid businessman Dave Buznik works for a pet clothing company out of New York City. He's got an abrasive boss named Mr. Frank Head who frequently takes credit for his work and steps on him in return. He's got a loving girlfriend, Linda, whose best friend is her condescending college ex, Andrew. But when a misunderstanding aboard an airplane goes haywire, Dave is ordered by the court to undergo anger management therapy at the hands of specialist Dr. Buddy Rydell, who is an unpredictable, psychopathic character. As the relationship between Dave and Buddy becomes more tense, when the unorthodox treatment wreaks havoc Dave's life, and Buddy might be the only one who can save him from a problem he recognizes right away in his patient, that could only get worse.

-Very much.

I can't stop love.

-Go.

-Thank you.

Don't think l don't owe you

a couple smacks by the way.

Good evening. Tonight, romance

comes to Yankee Stadium.

Oh, my God, it's Dave.

What the heck are you doing here?

-I wanna borrow this for a second.

-That's my mike!

Linda? Where are you?

Don't move.

Linda? Are you out there, honey?

Linda, l'm not mad at you.

Oh, sh*t.

I know that crazy man

brought you here.

Davey's going crazy!

I've done crazier stuff than that

to win back a chick.

Once l ran naked

through a subway station.

How was that supposed to work?

I guess l never really

thought it through.

I gotta tell you something personal!

This kid lost his marbles.

I'm over here!

Linda, think about

what you're doing to us.

Sweet tackle. Wow!

Dave just got leveled!

-Nobody messes with my microphone.

-I'm sorry.

Bob?

-Everything all right, Buddy?

-Oh, yeah.

I've never seen you so excited.

It's not every day a man

gets to propose marriage...

...to the woman he loves.

Now, here's what l want you to write

on the scoreboard.

Linda! Linda, l've loved you

since the day l met you!

I won't let you do this to us!

Don't marry him!

Don't marry him!

Wait!

Let this man finish

what he came here to say.

Let the man back in.

-Who was that guy?

-I think it's Regis Philbin.

Thank you, Mayor Giuliani.

You're the man, by the way.

This clown better hurry up.

My arm's starting to ice over.

Chill, Rocket. Goosfraba.

Goosfraba.

Goosfraba.

I can understand why you wanted

to see other people. I really can.

Buddy Rydell is a psycho!

But he was right about one thing.

I was an angry guy.

Mainly angry at myself...

...for letting people treat me like crap

all the time.

But l don't want to be that angry guy

anymore.

I wanna change.

If you give me a chance...

...l can show you that l got the guts

to stand up for what l believe in.

And l believe in us, Linda.

I love you with all my heart,

and l know you love me back.

I should be your husband...

...not that weirdo.

I want to have a family with you.

I want to have kids with you.

Kids who have your eyes...

...and your lips...

...and my...

...last name.

That's all l wish on them.

Please marry me, Linda.

Before l make my decision,

you have to do something for me.

You have to kiss me

in front of all these people!

You can do it, David!

Give her a five-second Frencher!

Kiss her, David.

Kiss her, David.

Kiss her, David!

Kiss her, David.

Go Yankees!

Dave's a dirty boy.

That wasn't so bad, was it?

I can't believe you actually

started to fall for that crazy man.

Buddy's not such a bad guy.

Congratulations! You just graduated

from anger management!

I'm glad your car died.

The train's romantic.

Don't change the subject.

You're telling me the past two weeks

of my life was just therapy?

Well....

Yeah.

I met with Buddy

after reading his book...

...and l told him about some

of the things going on in your life...

...and how upset it was making you

and how nuts it was making me.

He said that he thought he could help,

but it would be tough.

So how much of this thing was a

setup?

Well, the guy in your seat on the

plane, the flight attendant, thejudge...

...they're all friends of Buddy's.

What about the air marshal

who tasered me? Was he in on it?

No, he wasjust having a bad day.

Son of a b*tch.

Skipper, how you doing?

Buddy Rydell, you're a great man.

I was just doing my job.

I never doubted you for a minute.

Except when Galaxia

had ahold of you.

Did you just call that guy

Buddy Rydell?

A guy named Buddy Rydell

left this card...

...on what's left of my Lexus!

Oh, yeah. For insurance purposes.

Your insurance was canceled!

Grenada!

Don't point that gun at Buddy.

I'm the one who smashed your car up.

-Dave?!

-No!

I'm sick of guys like this.

You wanna mess with my friends,

shoot me first.

-Don't!

-Are you crazy?

Settle down.

Butt out! Tough guy's

going to learn a lesson.

I'm not afraid. Dr. Rydell taught me

not to be afraid of anybody.

Can l ask you a question, though?

Got you!

Dr. B, Davey just pulled a joke on us!

And how does that

make you feel, Lou?

Chuck.

We were just doing a joke.

That's my friend.

Are you okay?

He feels stunning.
