I think sex is overrated, Dr. Taylor.
Don't you?
No, I guess not.
You'd be out of a job, wouldn't you?
I love that little scar on your mouth.
She said always try
to make it an act of love...
and never force yourself on anyone.
And I never have.
The police do have an eyewitness
to the last killing.
They say you were positively identified.
Yeah, by a little teenage crack whore who
needed a fix and a new pair of glasses
- to pick me in the lineup.
- How does that make you feel?
I don't know why they're doing it.
I don't know why they're trying to frame me.
you suffer from bouts of amnesia?
I don't remember.
Just kidding.
I am here at the request of the court.
My job is to evaluate whether or not
you are competent to stand trial.
that you hear.
Do the voices come from
inside of your head...
or do they come from
outside of your head?
Outside.
Sometimes I hear voices
coming from the TV...
telling me to do things...
- Interesting.
- Why?
- Does it make a difference?
- A difference to what?
If I have MPD...
Multiple Personality Disorder.
That's part of it...
But I'm really the one that's supposed
to be asking the questions, Max.
You're a very attractive woman
for a shrink.
Thank you.
- We're out of time today.
- We're out of time?
No, you're out of f***in' time.
I'm not out of time.
I got all the f***in' time in the world.
I don't think you realize the severity
of the charges they've got against me.
They think I'm a monster and want to
strap me in that f***ing electric chair.
Good-bye, Max.
You don't have to like it.
You just have to be impacted by it.
- Uh-huh.
- Yeah.
Wow.
I spent all afternoon with a guy
who does this kind of sh*t for real.
You should see the pictures
of his handiwork.
He has pictures?
You should get him to sign 'em.
He could make a fortune.
You're probably right.
It's a sick world.
when you're morbid.
Come on. Here's the last pieces.
See anything for over the hearth?
It's just everything's entertainment.
That's the only value we recognize.
- Isn't it?
- That's the truth.
Bartender, another NyQuil
for my friend here.
- You smell incredible.
- I'm not wearing anything.
I wish. You know,
that's all there is to it, Sarah.
- It all comes down to the smell.
- Speak for yourself.
that's really all we are.
We're just animals with beepers.
- Maybe it does all come down to smell.
- Yeah?
And you smell like a friend,
who lives upstairs.
Oh, yeah? I didn't smell like a friend
when you first moved into the building.
That was one night, and I was drunk.
Meaning that there is an easily achieved
state of reduced consciousness...
that makes me devastatingly
attractive to you.
Am I right?
You just don't give up, do you?
I'm Sisyphus with a hard-on.
I mean, come on. It's been over a year
since that guy dumped you.
Eleven months. And Benny didn't dump me.
Whatever.
You have got to get over it now.
No, I don't.
The fact that I don't want a romantic
involvement now is not pathological.
- It's my choice.
- Who said anything about involvement?
I just wanna f***.
Good night, Cliff.
- Hi, Maura.
- Morning, Dr. Taylor.
Give me five minutes
before you put any calls through.
The defendant is an only child.
A cousin had
a psychiatric hospitalization.
The defendant has no former
prior psychiatric history.
However, he does exhibit signs
of Multiple Personality Disorder.
He describes finding himself places
and having no idea how he got there.
Yeah?
Mr. Wabash is on his way to see you.
Wabash?
Yes. Max Cheski's attorney.
Oh, right. Did he have an appointment?
Yes. You spoke with him yesterday.
Have a seat, Mr. Wabash.
What can I do for you?
My client thinks you don't like him.
He's worried he's not
gonna get a fair shake.
You can tell Mr. Cheski I'm gonna be
as fair as he has every right to expect.
So what is going on here?
- I'm entitled to disclosure.
- I haven't finished my evaluation.
What's to evaluate? This guy's a total
schizo. We're talkin' Jekyll and Hyde.
I think you're confusing schizophrenia
with Multiple Personality Disorder.
- What are you saying?
- He could be a schizophrenic...
or he could be suffering from MPD...
but unless he's making psychiatric
history, he can't be both.
What you're saying is that he's faking
this in order to beat the rap.
Isn't that what you're really saying?
I'm suspending judgment
pending further evaluation.
Dr. Taylor, let me be
absolutely frank with you.
I think that as a woman,
you may be prejudiced against my client.
I think you may have certain
personal issues regarding rape.
Like you might have, say,
personal issues regarding castration?
- Oh.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
- Go ahead.
- After you.
- No.
- Excuse me?
Bad choice.
They don't make a good Cabernet.
- They make a good Pinot Noir.
No. That's a contradiction in terms.
- Ever had Calera?
- Ever had La Tache?
Would you like to?
Thank you.
- You don't know what you're missing.
- I don't know you.
My name is Tony. Tony Ramirez.
Mr. Ramirez, we're strangers...
and I was raised
to never talk to strangers.
You never talk to strangers,
you'll never make any friends.
You live in the neighborhood?
Is this a coincidence or what?
Remember me?
We met in the wine section. Tony.
- Tony Ramirez.
- The burgundy snob. How could I forget?
I don't usually do this.
But I just moved here,
and I don't know a soul.
- From where?
- From Puerto Rico.
I guess I am a little overanxious
to make some friends.
Oh, really? Well,
you see that woman over there?
Why don't you make friends with her?
Because... Okay. I admit it.
I find you incredibly attractive.
But if you think I am bothering you...
if you think I am totally out of line...
you just tell me, and I am gone.
This is it... your last chance...
before we run into each other
in the parking lot.
What year?
Well, I was kind of hoping
for this year.
- Maybe even tonight.
- I was talking about the La Tache.
Oh. '61.
Do I look like someone
who can be bought with a good vintage?
You look like someone who has to be won.
Taxi!
Hi, lady.
What do you say? Say yes.
Say, "Yes!"
Here's my number. Call me.
You wanna go now, lady?
I think so.
Jesus Christ.
You almost gave me a heart attack.
I'm sorry. I've been callin' all day.
Kept gettin' the damn machine.
Aren't you gonna give your father a hug?
You okay?
Yeah. I just gotta clean this mess up
before the neighbors complain.
So, how long have you been in town?
I just came in this afternoon.
I'm only gonna stay one night.
Got a few customers to see tomorrow.
Then I'm gone.
I'm sorry. It's not a very good time.
I've gotta go out,
and I've gotta get ready.
