Dr. Curtis McCabe
[Interpreting David's dream of driving the ominously deserted streets of Manhattan in the morning and then out bursting in existential torment]
Well, I suppose the empty street meant loneliness.
DA David Ames
You're a shrink. You gotta do better than that.
Dr. Curtis McCabe
I'm a doctor. Let's not stereotype each other. Not all rich kids are soul less and... not all psychologists care about dreams. The question is how you got here and why you've been charged.
DA David Ames
What do you want to know? I was about to turn 33. I ran three magazines and a world wide publishing house. Most days I fooled myself in to believing it would last forever. Isn't that what being young is about? Believing secretly that you would be... the one person in the history of man... who would live forever.
Dr. Curtis McCabe
Where you going so early?
OA Office assistant
David! Okay, they're all waiting for you.
BM Board Member
You changed your hair.
BM Board Member
And David... opinions are expected.
Dr. Curtis McCabe
[Voiceover]
Do you dream about the board; the Seven Dwarfs as you call them? [Camera focuses on each board members face] Sneezy, Bashful... Sleepy... Happy... Doc... Dopey... and of course, Grumpy.
BM Board Member
How was Aspen?
DA David Ames
Good. Now, I want answers and I want them now. How's it going? [Voice of thought] They still look at me as if I was 11 years old.
OS Office staffer
He's going to inherit everything. He gets it all.
Dr. Curtis McCabe
You're scared of your dreams, aren't you?
DA David Ames
It's a nightmare either way.
Dr. Curtis McCabe
Is that how you explain what's happened to you?
Dr. Curtis McCabe
What happened to your face?
DA David Ames
I'm not talking to you anymore.
Dr. Curtis McCabe
You don't wanna show me your face?
Dr. Curtis McCabe
Do you know why you're here? Conversation, the coffee... David, the part where we parry and just... and get to know each other bit by bit--
DA David Ames
No. No can do.
Dr. Curtis McCabe
We'll have to skip that because you've been charged with murder. In four weeks, a judge will determine your fate... based on what I write. So you will talk to me.
DA David Ames
There is no murder. There is no murder! It never happened! I don't have to talk to anybody!
Dr. Curtis McCabe
Want me to help?
DA David Ames
Get the **** away from me.
Dr. Curtis McCabe
You take it easy, sunshine. Take it easy, Face.
DA David Ames
Your whole story's full of holes!
Dr. Curtis McCabe
[To security guard]
Stop. Stop! Please leave right now. I'll take responsibility. Please leave right now.
SG Security guard
[To colleague]
He's got control.
Dr. Curtis McCabe
I'm gonna get you, daddy's boy little freak.
DA David Ames
My parents are dead, you ****!
Dr. Curtis McCabe
Enough! Is that true?
DA David Ames
Good cop, bad cop...
Dr. Curtis McCabe
That you're a daddy's boy?
Dr. Curtis McCabe
And you didn't immediately wanna sleep with her?
DA David Ames
Well, you know, I'm a pleasure delayer.
Dr. Curtis McCabe
How does that work? Pleasure delayer?
DA David Ames
You don't know? You keep a relationship casual... until the absolute breaking point. And then one evening or afternoon or morning, it could be months from now. You know how it works.
Dr. Curtis McCabe
No, actually I don't. I've been married for 22 years.
DA David Ames
You've got dinner with your daughters.
Dr. Curtis McCabe
That's right, I do.
DA David Ames
Back then I had intricate systems with women... you wouldn't believe.
Dr. Curtis McCabe
Like what?
DA David Ames
Hey, Doc, don't get melancholy over the 30 seconds you were single... a long time ago.
Dr. Curtis McCabe
That's what you think I'm doing?
Dr. Curtis McCabe
You might be right. Let's continue. Time is not our friend.
