Alex : What are we gonna do? Talk about me sex life?
Psychiatrist : Oh, no. I'm going to show you some slides and you're going to tell me what you think about them. Alright?
Alex : Jolly good. Do you know anything about dreams?
Psychiatrist : Something, yes.
Alex : Do you know what they mean?
Psychiatrist : Perhaps. Are you concerned about something?
Alex : Oh, no, no... not concerned really. But I've been having this very nasty dream. Very nasty.
Psychiatrist : Now, each of these slides needs a reply from somebody in the picture. You tell me what you think the person would say. Alright?
Alex : Righty-right.
