there's hardly even a gun and i'm jumping it. leaping, even.

You're serious right now?

The preview isn't even officially out and you're already on top of that, thinking you can pull this off because I have two lines - nine words - that fit the bill of what you thought.

Oh, right, and you think you're some kind of master at the "original series" and think I can't be that different, even if "I'm not Grayson Hall."

I don't know what the hell you're talking about. I'm a professional. A doctor. You think you hear voices? That's not good. You think I'm one of them? That's - a new one.

So you're actually doing this.

You can at least get me some coffee. Black. I'm too hungover for this.

... [She furrows her brow. She doesn't really like talking about it directly.]

I can't tell you. [She's sure she can blag that it was in that contract she signed for Wonka, somewhere. Lying's easy, and it's not like she's doing it for a bad reason.] Lawsuits.

[therapeutics]

Right.

[more staring. pulling her own tricks over on her: nice. but, basically, all julia's getting from her is that she is a psychiatrist's dream.

too bad she's still too hungover for this.]

Well. If your parents - your dad, right? - ever think you need to talk to a professional about that, I'm game.

Dad doesn't want me to speak to anyone about it, and I think mother stopped caring. [She looks a bit... hurt. She hoped for a while that the incident changed her parents, but apparently it just phased them for a while before they slipped back into old habits.]

I'm dealing with it, though, so I don't need your help. [Yeah, except she can't go near blueberries, chewing gum or little people anymore; apparently they don't count though.]

[therapeutics]

Alright, alright. [she notices the expression, but just holds her hands up in surrender. she gets the point.] Just thought I'd offer.

[blueberried]

Well, thanks anyway... I think. [And now you may have given her a reason to stay clear of psychiatrists. Thank you for that.]
