Dr. Fulton: Well, come on in. [cats meowing] Sit anywhere you'd like. Your mom filled me in on what's been going on with you, and it seems like some pretty heavy-duty stuff. So what do you think's up? What do you think's giving you this case of the bummers?
Brick: It's just... These bad thoughts get in my head, and then there's no room for the good thoughts, and then I start thinking maybe because of all the bad thoughts, I'll never have a good thought again. Which also worries me.
Dr. Fulton: [cat meows] Not now, Minnie. I'm working. Well, Brick, we all have to learn to live with fear. You know, that includes this guy right here. I mean, for me, it's Shelly. I mean, I fear that she may marry the guy she's dating right now just because he's decisive and buff. You know, but if she decides to ruin her life like that, I just have to accept it and move on, which isn't to say that I'll meet someone. I mean, not someone like Shelly. I mean, no one can be Shelly. I guess what I'm trying to say, Brick, is I very well may die alone. [cats yowling] Guys, work it out. They fight over who gets the sunbeam.
Brick: It's not just normal fears, though. In any situation, I immediately go to the worst-case scenario and I don't know how to stop it.
Dr. Fulton: Well, there are many possible treatments. Some doctors like to use hypnosis to put you in a deep state of relaxation.
Brick: Hmm. What if I don't wake up?
Dr. Fulton: Then again, other doctors just prefer simple exercise.
Brick: Exercise?
Dr. Fulton: Oh, it's great for dealing with anxiety. You know, when those bad thoughts come, you just get up and move around. Get the blood going. You know what? Maybe go for a jog. Yeah, over to Shelly's house. And while you're there, let me know if you see that butt-faced ponytailed barista, hmm?
