Laurie: When you say, "Do this or do that" all she's hearing is, "I'm smarter than you."
Phil: Believe me, she doesn't think that.
Laurie: She doesn't want you to solve her problems. She just wants you to give her support so that she can solve her problems herself.

Phil: Whoa. Whoa.
Laurie: Oh, yes.
Phil: Mm-hmm. Maybe it's all the creams, but that just made sense, girlfriends.
