THERAPIST AND THE PATIENT CONTINUES

THERAPIST AND THE PATIENT CONTINUES

SCENE TWO:

PATIENT'S MONOLOGUE TURNS INTO DIALOGUE WITH HER SUBCONSCIOUS

PATIENT (CONSENCIOUS)

Health is a gem.

My health

Yes.

Its a gem

I have a precious gem in my possession

I need to cherish it.

Everything else is useless

meaningless

waste of time

Especially people.

All these people

BB, AB, SD, AS, DO, O,T,P.

They come and go

Like everything else

Come and go

Like life

Temporary

Never lasting

Let them go

Don't even think about them

Take them out of your head

Put positive things in your mind

Like your therapist says

'Don't be so negative."

Not healthy

Not healthy at all

"Positive."  therapist says, its healthy

I don't know what positive is

But the therapist says its healthy

Maybe I should trust the therapist more

But some how she makes me more angry than ever

I guess that's the function of therapy

'Make you angry."

So you can become very angry

And then take your anger out

Purge your anger

Get it out

Get rid of it

But then at the same time she tells me that I am very angry

So how am I going to deal with it?

She makes me more angry by saying that I am angry

Maybe thats the format of the treatment

I don't know

I don't know anything any more

I am afraid

Very afraid

Afraid of my anger

But people provoke me

But you don't see no more people any more

Because they provoke me

I don't want to see any one

BUT MY THERAPIST SAYS, "ISOLATION IS NO GOOD."

But who should I see?

When I call no one returns my call

No one even pick up the phone

But that's not only in my case

People tell me that people don't pick up any one's phone

People don't call any one any more

They text

And you don't text

What's the point of texting?

Why not call and hear some one's voice?

But thats not the fashion of the day

The fashion is to text

Ok, I can text some one

Yes, do that

And then?

They will text you back

And then?

Then you will text them back

AND THEN?

Then it will go back and forth

And?

And the time will pass

And?

And then it will be evening

And?

And then they will go on a date

They will?

Yes.  They have dates

Yes

How do you know?

They were texting all day for the date

But they weren't texting me for a date

You are not a lesbian

Am I only suppose to text women?

Not really but women usually text women when they are bored or depressed

Why?

Because men don't give a shit about depression, they only want to fuck

Oh!

Oh! yes

But there must be some straight people left in the world?

There must be but they are all old fashion

Oh!

Yes, Oh! and no one likes them

Why not?

Because they are considered old fashioned and boring

Why?

The world is changed.  Women are with women and men are with men

But I just want friends

Thats the problem

Why?

You don't want to fuck

I do

You do?

Yes

But you want to fuck a man

Yes.  Why not?

You are too old to fuck a man

No I can still fuck a man

But the straight man doesn't want to fuck you

Why?

You said it

What?

You are too old

And the woman?

What about the woman?

The woman doesn't want to fuck you either

Why not?

She asks me, 'Why not"?

Yes, why not?

You are not a lesbian

Oh!

Yes, oh!

So no one wants to fuck me

NO NO ONE

HOW SAD

YES, ITS SAD, BUT THERE IS SOME ONE WHO WANTS TO FUCK WITH YOUR HEAD

WHO?

THE CRITIC

THE CRITIC?

YES, THE CRITIC...

WHY? WHAT DID I DO TO THE CRITIC?

THEY DON'T LIKE YOU

NOT MANY PEOPLE LIKE ME

BUT THEY COULD HAVE CHANGED YOUR LIFE

HOW?

YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO GO TO A THERAPIST

WHY NOT?

YOU WOULD HAVE GONE TO THE OPENING NIGHT PARTY ON BROADWAY

OH!

YES, OH!

I guess I fucked up

Yes, thats what you did

How did I do that?

You didn't do the hustle

What's the hustle

Say, what they like to hear

What do they want to hear?

Not the crap you talk about

I talk about crap?

Yes, you do

I am telling you, I am your friend

I have no friend, no one text me

Because they know that you are an imbecile

Thank you so much.  You sound worse than my psychotherapist

She hates you too

What does that mean, She hates you too?

You seem unhappy in this country and you are still here.  They want you to praise the

country or get out

Get out where

WHERE EVER YOU CAME FROM?

Who are you?

Your friend

I have no friend

I am your subconscious

I have a subconscious?

Yes, every one has a subconscious

I don't see any one talking to their subconscious

They don't go for psychotherapy.  its the therapy which has awakened your sub conscious and you

are..........

asking questions.  its a good sign

So you think the therapy is working?

Yes

Then why am I so angry?

Because you have to be angry before you are happy

So all the happy people here were angry before?

Very

Did they all go to therapy?

No, some of them, actually most of them hustled and made millions and that made them happy

I didn't know that I had to hustle instead of going for therapy

Should I start to hustle now?

First of all you don't know how to hustle and second of all, you are too old to hustle now

Sad, so sad.  You tell me that I am too old for fucking and too old for hustle.

Yes, thats a fact.  You are in the modern world.  hustle and fucking is the most important thing

Change the title of your play to, 'HUSTLE AND FUCKING." Like that English man who wrote
,
"SHOPPING AND FUCKING."  He went very far with that title.  He is modern.  He was born in the

West.  You have to be born in the West or you have to be Salman Rushdi and Ayan Hirshi, fake

moderns, they say exactly what the modern critic wants to hear.  See how far they got and you are

still in the therapist's office...

I guess I didn't understand the West before I came to the West.

You are right..you have to understand the country perfectly well before you get there.

So what should I do now?

I don't know, its very late in your case, I guess you should commit suicide or get arrested.  There is no

hope for you.

I need you  to stop talking to me.

I don't need this kind of awareness of subconscious.  I want to live without the subconscious.  Please

don't come back.  You are not invited back.  You are worst than the therapist.  Are you Western or

Eastern?

What do you think?

I don't know what to think any more?

I am your sub conscious so go figure...........................
