opposite my consulting-room door well

darling not Harvey after all there's

only one kind of a horse unfortunately

there are two won't take a look at it

[Music]

[Music]

And clever too I suppose you must admit

he can draw

oh darling why don't you try to laugh

about things like this he's part of the

fun of being a parent fun fun there are

amusing things in life apart from.

Goldstone such as allowing one son to

scribble things on walls it's a very

clever sketch of a horse which is a pity

you drew it there he did it because I

objected to his language to what he

called mrs. Carey Browns little boy

little boy

oh great toad Tony drew that horse out

of revenge hoping my patience would see

it hoping they'd think that I'd done it

darling for goodness sake don't give way

to persecution mania we'll have it all

cleaned up

it's an indelible tension it's the

child's mind that one is cleaning up

what do you mean did you look at it

properly and I did it's realistic it's

the horse as he sees it as he ought not

to see it I tell you his mind once

cleaning up are you quite sure you don't

mean your own mind my mind yes there

must be something the matter with it to

make such a fuss about a child drawing

and I refuse to part with you Howard

much as I know you'd like to you can't

dismiss the whole thing like this I'm

going to have a box

this mad rush oh don't be absurd making

such a fuss about a child's natural

simple acceptance of the truth as he

sees it that's why I'm simple my four

decided biologically correct he wasn't

thinking of biology I suppose you know

best what he was thinking about this I

only know that if you've gone as you're

doing you'll have him in the juvenile

police court and we shall have probation

offices not our private life mine can

stand it mine certainly can what are you

worrying about then.

[Music]

Listen let's try the once to discuss.

Tony without getting Scratchy

I'm not Scratchy I don't find your

neurosis in the Beeston pictures

alright alright I give in it's been one

of those days I know it's been one for

me too one of my sketch affiliates is

missing from home and that old

kleptomaniac I've been treating for

years has gone and got three months for

shoplifting I know I know

let's forget it settle down for a nice

quiet evening that's after all I don't

suppose we're the first couple to breed

a jekyll-and-hyde you being Jacqueline

hi mrs. Hoyt thinking thank you I'm

interested in this Jekyll and Hyde Terry

go on huh no I just thought that your

total disregard for the things that

matter which I adore in you should be so

oh when it shows him turning Ted that's

all yeah oh nice to relax I just had a

hectic row and mrs. Carrie Brown I would

look Tony Cole dead son please not again

need is psychology center pops review

good boy they'll come back to you they

may find a better doctor but they'll

never find anybody with a more charming

bedside manner thank you

quite right darling Finn you can always

count a bed round with you I built up my

practice on ability not tongue tricks

all right nobody's attacking you

I said ability I'd appreciate some of it

in my own household especially in the

upbringing of my son you have a

heaven-sent genius for variations on a

worn-out theme you should have been a

musician if you must know I'm ashamed of

Tony I don't know what he's gonna do

next drop set my practice why doesn't he

behave like the other children in the

neighborhood well bred out there no son

of mine is going to be bullied into a

standard pet until he's got about as

much individuality as a wooden soldier

I'm sick and tired of your

to turn a sensitive intelligent child

into a football clicking riddle now

burgeoning I'm sick and tired of this

lifelong battle we just know it's an

arena that's how you feel about it

there's an obvious remedy why don't you

take it very well that's what you want I

will zoom in a bit well that's fine

nobody busts know where we are

it's a great relief and what you're not

in your going to do give you grounds for

divorce if you leave me I can't take it

back me back you couldn't drag me back

that's what you say no that's what I

shall continue to say this is the end of

a very long pain in the neck
