Carefree

---

Can I help you, sir?

Yes, just help me steady this thing.

Thank you.

Oh, could you give me

a little information?

- Yes, sir.

- Thank you.

Don't wait up for me.

Please call me when we get

to the 18th floor.

Eighteenth floor, sir.

Thank you so much.

If you run into my stomach

on the way down...

...kindly have it sent up.

- Mr. Arden.

- Where's Tony Flagg? I wanna see him.

Well, come in here, please.

Dr. Flagg's busy right now,

but pipe down and I'll take you.

Well, how do you feel now?

I'm not drunk anymore, Tony.

I'm just dizzy.

All right, we'll unwind you.

Say, Steve, when I went to Switzerland

you never drank like this.

How long have you been tight?

Three days:

Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Because this Amanda What's-Her-Name

broke her engagement to you?

- Yeah, for the third time.

- What happened the other two times?

I got stiff.

I hope she changes her mind

before you get DTs.

That's why I came to see you,

about her.

You came to the right man.

He's straightened out some pips.

We had a dame here yesterday

who was in love with her feet.

Sorry, Steve, I'm no marriage broker.

Now, this Amanda What's-Her-Name...

Stop calling her What's-Her-Name.

Her name's Cooper, Amanda Cooper.

I don't care what her name is. To me,

she's another maladjusted woman.

She's in perfect order.

She's beautiful, Tony.

That has nothing to do with it either.

Perhaps she's merely trying

to escape reality.

Escape what reality?

- In this case, you.

- What do you...?

We all try to escape reality.

We all wanna be something

entirely different than we really are.

- When I was a kid, I wanted to be a fireman.

- Sure. I wanted to be a cop.

Remember when we were in college

how stage-struck I was?

I wanted to be a dancer.

Psychoanalysis

showed me I was wrong.

It's the one way we have of finding out

what we really want and why we want it.

I wanna marry Amanda,

and I know why.

Perhaps if I psychoanalyze you,

you won't wanna marry Amanda.

Well, I don't wanna

not wanna marry Amanda.

Easy, Mr. Arden.

You don't have to say everything twice.

- What do you want?

- I wanna marry Amanda.

I guess he wants to marry

What's-Her-Name, all right.

Tony, you've just got to see her.

Why not, doc? She might turn out

to be a very interesting nut.

Maybe this Amanda What's-Her-Name...

Cooper!

Maybe she prefers staying on the stage

to marrying you.

No, no, no.

She wants to marry me.

Why does she keep

breaking off the engagement?

She doesn't know.

She says it's not my fault, it's hers.

At least see her. Maybe you can

figure out what the trouble is.

Well, how do you know

she's willing to be psychoanalyzed?

Oh, she will if I ask her to.

All right. Tell her to come to my office

tomorrow morning at 11:00.

Now, what's her name?

Amanda What's-Her-Name.

- Cooper.

- Yeah.

Memo to Dr. Jones.

Case history 3442, Mrs. Mamie Fletcher.

Dr. Jones, I am turning this case over

to you for further treatment.

My observations are as follows:

She's a typical pampered female.

What she needs, instead of a doctor...

...is a good spanking. However...

- Yes, Dr. Powers.

- Dr. Flagg...

...can you come to my laboratory,

please?

There's a Miss Cooper

waiting for me.

She's another one of those dizzy,

silly, maladjusted females...

...who can't make up her mind.

I'll probably find out she hasn't got one.

- I just need you for a moment.

- All right, I'll be right out.

How do you do, Miss Cooper?

I am Miss Cooper.

Well, won't you come in, please?

Thank you, doctor.

I've been looking forward

with so much pleasure to this meeting.

I'm sorry, I have to leave you,

but if you'll make yourself comfortable...

...I'll be back,

and we can have a nice visit.

Well, I'm certain I'm going to enjoy it.

Steve thinks so much of you.

Steve's a fine chap. Yes, indeed.

And very lucky too.

Excuse me.

Memo to Dr. Jones.

Case history 3442, Mrs. Mamie Fletcher.

Dr. Jones, I am turning this case over

to you for further treatment.

My observations are as follows:

She's a typical pampered female.

What she needs, instead of a doctor,

is a good spanking. However...

Yes, Dr. Powers.

Dr. Flagg,

will you come to my laboratory, please?

There's a Miss Cooper

waiting outside for me.

She's another one of those dizzy,

silly, maladjusted females...

... who can't make up her mind.

I'll probably find out she hasn't got one.

I don't wanna be disturbed,

Miss Adams.

Now there'll be

no more disturbances...

...and we can have that nice,

friendly little chat.

Won't you sit down?

Oh, that's my chair.

Very comfortable.

But I'd planned for you to sit here.

I want you to be relaxed.

I'm perfectly relaxed.

Perhaps you'd better sit there.

Are you always this nervous?

No. Only I usually sit in that chair.

Well, I won't be here very long,

and then you can sit in it.

Oh, now... Now, Miss Cooper,

first let's get to know each other.

Why?

I have to know your mind

as well as I know my own.

Why?

Miss Cooper, you understand the principle

of psychoanalysis, don't you?

No.

Well, you do know that you have two minds:

The conscious and the subconscious.

Really?

The conscious mind is the ego.

That's the thing that says,

"I am I, and you are you."

Mine never said that.

Let me put it this way, then.

Back here is a jungle

full of the most noble and horrible things.

I don't doubt that.

That's your subconscious mind.

It works all the time,

even when you sleep.

It dreams. It never forgets anything.

Is that so?

Your conscious mind lies here.

It doesn't dream, it thinks.

Now, what we strive for

is perfect coordination between the two.

Do you understand?

No. And I don't believe I care to.

At first I wasn't sure

I wanted to be psychoanalyzed.

And now I'm positive I don't.

Now, you mustn't put a wall between us,

Miss Cooper.

To psychoanalyze you,

I must interpret your dreams.

What sort of things do you dream?

I don't dream.

- Oh, come, now. Everybody dreams.

- I don't.

I wish you'd please understand that

I'm only trying to help you find yourself.

Well, if I ever get lost, I'll call on you.

Attention, everybody. Having tied on the

shoot-off, Judge Travers and Mr. Arden...

... have decided to break the tie

by a miss-and-out event at single bird.

Pull.

- Lost bird.

- Too bad, Stephen.

You've been shooting

as if you'd been on a bender.

I feel as if I had been.

Nice shooting.

Tony, what did you do to Amanda?

What did I do?

Oh, I'm sorry. I want you to meet

Amanda's Aunt Cora. Dr. Flagg.

- How do you do?

- Amanda's furious with you.

What happened?

She wouldn't tell me.

She's a very curious case.

At first,

she was sweet and charming...

...then, for no reason at all,

she became argumentative.

You should hear

what she thinks about you.

- What?

- She thinks you're a quack.

Oh, she does?

Pull.

Very good. Very good, Your Honor.

Your shooting was superb, Your Honor.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

His Honor Judge Travers, Dr. Flagg.
