as even one unkind word...
Do you want the hard salami or
do you want this kind here?
I don't care.
I mean, my brother, Ralph,
if Angela had ever taken him to
one of these things, whew.
You. I just hope you remember
this next year
when you want to tell me that
I never help and I never...
I'm getting the Limburger,
you don't have to eat it.
And I'll tell you one thing,
we're going to go to Florida and see my mother
next year for the full two weeks.
You have forfeited your right to complain.
Oh, boy! I was thinking
about you the whole...
Get away from the door! I'm getting!
(MOANING)
What happened to you?
I had to do that thing and
the handle came off.
Oh, me, too! And it broke, and
that kid, he played bad.
(CLANKING)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)
KAY:
It was a course at the university.Beginning Accounting.
And Arnold was the teaching assistant.
What was your first impression
of Kay, Arnold?
She was pretty. Very pretty.
What else?
She probably shouldn't
major in accounting.
And Thanksgiving passed, no ring,
and my dad said, "Well, you
picked the wrong horse."
But two days Iater, I found it.
He had hidden it, the ring,
in a cinnamon bun.
(LAUGHS)
I was so surprised.
What was holding you up, Arnold?
Well, it's not Iike buying a car.
And that winter, Arnold
threw his back out.
I was helping Brad paint his room and...
He said he would be more comfortable
sleeping alone.
That hurt Iike a son of a b*tch.
But then, his back got better.
bit. But also I...
He snores.
So he just stayed in the
guest room after that.
Yeah.
Did you ask him to come back?
No. I didn't think he'd...
No.
Hmm.
So it's been a Iong time since
you've slept in the same room.
When was the Iast time you had sex?
Yeah.
Uh, I have no idea.
Well, Iet's try to think about it.
It was four years ago, almost
five years ago. In September.
When Brad moved out after college.
September 22nd. I remember thinking,
"He's moving out on the
first day of fall."
We get the picture, okay?
This makes you uncomfortable talking
about this, doesn't it?
Well, sue me because I don't want to talk
about having sex with my wife
with a total stranger.
You want to talk about it at all?
What else do you remember
about that day, Kay?
How'd you make Iove?
How?
DR. FELD:
Was it the missionaryposition? Arnold on top?
KAY:
Oh, yeah. (SIGHS)DR. FELD:
Was it alwaysmissionary position?
Oh, please.
KAY:
Mostly, yes. Mmm-hmm.Were there particular things
that you enjoyed doing?
Mostly it was the same.
Was your sex Iife satisfying for you?
Well, it was fine.
Yeah. AII right.
Okay.
your first exercise.
What... What kind of...
Tonight, I would Iike you
with your arms around one another.
(STAMMERING) Well, what's the... Why?
Because I want you to remember what
it's Iike to touch each other.
Do you think you can do that?
Arnold?
Well, maybe that's what...
I mean, forced intimacy...
Is that really...
It's not forced intimacy.
That's what it sounds Iike. Oh...
What? We're supposed to be truthful
here. DR. FELD:
You are.Although... So what I'm saying is
that I don't think this exercise,
or whatever you wanna call it,
sounds Iike something...
It's not forced. If I do that
me to, what is the point?
I don't think I Iike the idea
I mean, the whole idea of this exercise
thing is totally ridiculous to me.
I'm not a trained monkey!
You're a bully! What?
Since you got here, all you've
done is make me feel...
Kay? Kay.
...terrible.
I've had it.
Kay!
# How do I get the man in you to see
# I'm so much more
# Than the mother in me?
Kay. Kay.
Kay, come on. This is infantile.
I think you're infantile!
Look... Where are you going?
This is insane.
No, it's not!
Where are you going?
# I want to be your lady
# Oh, I want to get swept away
# Let me cry for a change
# Don't need no Ione survivor
# I need someone by my side
# We don't have to make it perfect
# Love me for the woman that I am
# And I will love you
# For being my man #
You can come in. We don't bite.
What can I get you?
Um...
Would you recommend the
red wine or the white?
Do you Iike red wine?
Yeah.
Then I'd go with the white.
(EVERYBODY PLAYS THE FOOL PLAYING)
# Sometime
# There's no exception to the rule
# Listen, baby
And so, I was just hoping that,
maybe if...
Trying to get the old magic back?
Yeah.
Did you ever have it?
# How can you help it
# When the music starts to play
You want the audio tour? It's $4.95.
The thing is
we really don't have sex, mostly.
At all.
That's it?
(CHUCKLES)
AII right. Who in here is not having sex?
Not me.
Mike, I know you're not getting any.
(LAUGHTER)
This one's on us. KAY: Thank you.
# Everybody, baby
# Sometime #
(LOCK CLICKING)
(SIGHS)
I'm back!
I see that.
(HUMMING)
I went to the museum.
Did you?
Was it interesting?
Extremely.
Of course, if you want to go, you'll
have to do it on your own.
Mmm-hmm. I'm getting ready for bed.
(WATER RUNNING)
(ARNOLD SIGHS)
Where'd you go this afternoon?
Oh.
Just around.
I thought you wanted to do that thing.
But if you don't want to do
it, I sure don't care.
AII right, I'll just go to bed.
I want to do it.
I guess we should do it there.
Mmm-hmm.
Well, I guess I'll get in.
Maybe this is enough.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Yeah, probably enough.
I was just getting the Iight.
(SIGHS)
(BOTH SIGHING)
And then we did the exercise...
(CHUCKLES) Yeah, that was...
...and we woke up.
Yeah.
And we were in the same bed.
Yeah, it was...
It was comfortable. Yep.
This is good. Really good.
By taking some time to yourselves,
you were able to relate
better as a couple.
And you both did it without even trying.
Well, she wanted to spend time apart.
Yeah. I was so mad.
Mad as a wet cat.
But, you know, it was nice, wasn't it?
To do something on your own, you know.
Great, you two. Really great.
I'm thrilled with the progress
that you've made.
make it that much easier
to proceed to the next step.
Next step. That's great.
Let's get with it.
I mean, we're doing so well, we might
be able to get out of here early.
Okay, next step. What is it?
Write a poem? Hold hands in
public? Sing a serenade?
Sex.
We're going to talk extensively
about your sexual history.
When it started. What it included.
What it didn't include.
If you had orgasms, vaginally
or otherwise.
If you had issues around sexuality
or performance.
Whether you talked about sex or during it.
What your fantasies are.
If you ever acted on fantasies.
Brought toys or sex games
into the bedroom.
Brought sex out of the bedroom.
And once we've explored
all of those things,
