A Tune-Up

Hi, my name is Ben.

NATHAN: Make sure we tell him how you're still not over Jeremy.
ME: Nathan, I told you, I'm--
NATHAN: What's the point of seeing a marriage counselor if we're not honest?

Nathan and I have been seeing a marriage counselor for the past year.

It's helped...

NATHAN: And tell him you refused me sex again this week.

...In that we haven't stabbed each other in awhile.

VOICE: Well, look who's here!

Davis entered the waiting room. Of course.

DAVIS: Need a little help with blissful eternity, boys?
NATHAN: Our marriage, like any other, has ups and downs. Apparently yours does too or you wouldn't--
DAVIS: I'm screwing the therapist.
ME: You're having sex with our therapist?
NATHAN: You're cheating on your husband with a marriage counselor?
DAVIS: I know. There's irony in there somewhere. I just came for a little quickie before his three o'clock.
ME: We're his three o'clock.
DAVIS: Well then I'll try to be extra...quick.

Davis went into the office.

ME: We need a new therapist.

Nathan started to cry.

He'd grown attached.
