CONRAD:
I just feel... I feel so...
DR BERGER:
What?
CONRAD:
Jumpy. I don't know.
DR BERGER:
Look. Kiddo... I lied. I do
believe in dreams. Only sometimes I
want to know what's happening when
you're awake. Come on, something's
bugging you, making you nervous.
You're making me nervous.
CONRAD:
Maybe I need a tranquilizer.
DR BERGER:
Tranquilizer?
CONRAD:
Yeah.
What do you think?
DR BERGER:
I think you came in here looking
like something out of The Body
Snatchers. It's not my impression
that you need a tranquilizer.
Conrad notices a cube on the table.
CONRAD:
What is this?
DR BERGER:
Clock.

Oh, I see. So you get to tell the
time, but I can't. Is that it?
DR BERGER:
Mmm, mmm.
CONRAD:
So you know when the hour's up?
DR BERGER:
Right.
CONRAD:
Fifty minutes, fifty five minutes?
What is it?
Dr Berger doesn't answer.
CONRAD (cont'd)
Maybe... Maybe I don't want to swim
anymore. You know, I mean my timing
is for sh*t. You know, he's got two
guys that swim the fifty, they're
better than me, and...
DR BERGER:
Ha, ha.
CONRAD:
They're a bunch of boring ass
jocks.
DR BERGER:
Ha, ha.
CONRAD:
And him... I can't stand him. He's
a tight ass son of a b*tch!
DR BERGER:
Ah, ah?... Have you ever thought
about quitting?
CONRAD:
Are you telling me to?
DR BERGER:
No.
CONRAD:
It wouldn't look good.
DR BERGER:
Forget about how it looks! How does
it feel?

51CONRAD:
How does it feel? How does it feel?
DR BERGER:
Yes!
CONRAD:
How does it feel?!
DR BERGER:
Yes! How does it feel?
CONRAD:
It's the same thing that happened
last year... It's the same damn
thing I did last year.
DR BERGER:
Are you the same person you were
last year?
CONRAD:
I don't know!
DR BERGER:
That's why you need a tranquilizer?
CONRAD:
You tell me!
DR BERGER:
No. It's up to you!
CONRAD:
Fifty bucks an hour, can't you
decide if I should have a pill or
not? I mean, you're a doctor, I'm
supposed to feel better! Right?
DR BERGER:
Not necessarily.
Conrad reflects.
Dr BERGER (cont'd)
How is it with your friends? Is it
getting any easier?
CONRAD:
No. It's still hard.
DR BERGER:
Is anyplace easy?
CONRAD:
The hospital was.
