[UTENSILS CLATTERING]
Honey, it's family hour.
There must be something on.
DAUGHTER: Oh, wow, Candy Critters!
[FATHER EXCLAIMS]
Oh, great. It's Monsters, our favorite show!
[MONSTROUS LAUGH] Shh, it's starting.
[MONSTROUS LAUGH]
[FATHER CHUCKLES]
[DOOR CREAKING]
She's so caring, so wonderful.
DEBBIE: Yes. Thats's why I hate her.
[SIGHS]
Well, I don't wanna pick a side,
but isn't that more your problem, than hers.
No! Ah, nobody understands.
You cannot imagine what it's like,
she cooks, she cleans, she controls.
I feel like I'm losing my mind, everything's closing in on me.
Well, there's such a thing as divorce.
[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]
Yeah, maybe in the normal world there is.
That's where people have free will and individual rights.
But not me, no. [LAUGHS LOFTILY]
My whole brain's being sucked out of my head.
[KNOCING AT DOOR]
Oh, sorry doctor that must be your next patient.
I better go check.
[WHISTLES]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[SIGHS WEARILY]
What are you smiling at?
Debbie!
Debbie, I... I'm not feeling very well. I'm...
I'm gonna go home early.
Doctor, it's 10:00 in the morning. You can stick it out.
Oh, yeah.
Well, that is... you always know what to do, don't ya?
So strong, so confident.
Your hair smells like fresh wild berries.
[IN HIGH PITCH] Doctor!
I said you have an appointment.
A new patient, Murray Van Pelt.
Oh doctor! [STUTTERS] I'm sorry.
I showed up couple of minutes early.
But if you want, I'll leave.
I'll come back next month.
DOCTOR: Just get in here.
Nice picture.
Is that your mother?
No!
It's my wife.
Oh.
So, what do you want?
I've... [GULPS]
I have a problem with authority figures.
Really?
Well then, maybe you should, [LOUDLY] sit down.
[STUTTERS] Okay!
Well, don't sit if you don't want to.
Okay.
Boy, you really are lame you know that?
You need professional help.
Yeah, I know.
All my life, everyone pushed me around. Told me what to do.
Well, I'm sick of it.
I wanna be my own man.
Fine!
Lie down on the couch.
If you say so.
[SIGHS IN EXASPERATION]
Murray, don't you get tired of being so obedient?
Aren't you nauseous from being dominated by people,
kicked around by your wife?
But I don't have a wife.
I'm being hypothetical.
Now, wouldn't you like to fly fast cars and
drink hard liquor?
Well... Of course, you would.
All you gonna do, is bring out those repressed feelings.
[GASPS] I wonder if hypnosis would work.
Hypnosis?
Isn't that dangerous?
What, are you kidding?
They do it on talk shows, its safe.
You see, when you're hypnotized it's impossible to desire
anything that you normally wouldn't desire, when you're awake.
Now, what do you say huh? Let's give it a try?
Why not? Okay.
Now, I want you to stare at this watch.
Isn't it nice and round?
Nice and shiny.
And it tells time too.
Actually it doesn't. No. It's broken.
I just use it to hypnotize people with it.
Look, concentrate,
Now, I'm gonna count backwards from twelve.
Twelve.
Eleven.
I'm getting tired.
Maybe I better go home and take a nap.
Shh... shut up.
Ten. Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
Murray.
You asleep? Yes.
I'm very sorry.
I didn't mean to doze off in your office.
No, that's okay.
Now, Murray, you've got lots of everyday problems.
We gotta isolate them and discover their source.
Then we can learn why you're such a puny pathetic piece of nothing.
That's okay, doc.
I know all about them. I have a thing about authority figures.
I let people boss me around.
Because I had a domineering mother. And I sublimated my aggression towards me.
Because of an in bred fear...
[DOOR CLOSES] [SIGHS IN EXASPERATION]
God, these people are so depressing.
Any messages?
Oh, you're wife called.
Forget I asked.
MURRAY: Also, my father was suppressed by my mother.
So while growing up, I had a very weak masculine role model.
Well, actually I suppose I identified with my imaginary friends
because they were all that I had, to a bad childhood
and to be moved alive...
Murray, I don't wanna hear about your bad childhood.
MURRAY: ... school, when I was very young
I wanna deal with the bottled aggression.
The angry Murray, you keep hidden.
You wanna see, the other Murray?
Sure, I want you to release him.
I want you to let him out.
[RUMBLING NOISE]
[GROWLING]
Never mind, put him back! Put him back!
[GROWLS] Murray, snap out your trance.
Three, two, one. Now!
Gee doc, I thought you said you were gonna hypnotize me.
LUANN: Feet!
Honey, you won't believe what happened today.
It was the most incre... So?
How's my baby?
Uh, fine. I was in office...
Oh, my baby's chilly.
Is it nippy outside?
No! Now Luann,
you won't believe what happened. I was in my office and
this man, my patient turned into a eight foot ape.
Sherwin, I bet you could use a hot cooked meal.
[BLOWS A KISS]
[GULPS] I don't know, maybe I had to be there but,
one second there was this nervous little man with a classic Electra complex,
the next second he was mutating.
How nice. Now slide over your plate I'm gonna give you more farfel.
Is that all, we're having?
Of course!
You know, farfel is a complete high protein fiber.
Yeah, I know.
I'm... but 23 nights in a row?
Uh... don't you ever miss the feeling of sinking
your teeth into a big juicy steak.
Oh, come on Sherwy.
Fatty solids, calories...
I mean what does our yoga teacher say?
Your yoga teacher.
John Darrow says, "Clean body inside, clean body outside."
My goodness, I'm only doing it for you?
I don't know, how you'll survive without me.
[LUANN CONTINUES TALKING]
[LUANN SCREAMS]
[IN REALITY] Sherwin. Sherwin.
Sherwin, are you paying attention to me?
I said that Oat brand doesn't have half the bulk of farfel.
So?
Oh, don't give me that grumpy face.
Remember, John Darrow says,
"Smiling on the inside, smiling on the outside."
Now, finish your farfel.
[CLOCK TICKING]
Murray? MURRAY: Hello?
Murray, Dr. Chester here.
Yeah sorry to call you so late. But I've been reviewing your case and you really sick.
I want you to forget about going to work tomorrow and come in and see me.
Surprise! Ah, doctor!
Hello Debbie. Doctor,
where does the flower come from?
Oh Sherwin, Sherwin, call me Sherwin.
All flowers smell nice.
But... Paris smells nicer.
Doctor, Sherwin, uh, is something wrong?
Did something happen between you and your wife?
No, she's still around. [DOOR OPENS]
MURRAY: Thanks for squeezing me in, doc.
I knew I was sick.
Boy, you said it.
You got here, just in the nick of time.
Come on, Murray let's go. Come on.
Move it, move it. Whoa!
Oh, Miss. Waters, I don't wanna be disturbed we're gonna be in session.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Six, five.
Four... [SNORES]
Two, three, whatever. You're hypnotized.
Ah, Murray.
Today, we're concerned about your anger.
Huh?
You're repressed.
Hatred of the world and all that it's done to you.
Let's see it.
[RUMBLING]
[SHERWIN LAUGHS]
That was easy.
How you doing?
[ROARS] Whoa!
[GROWLS]
Oh,
You're... you're angry.
[SOFT GROWL]
Why?
I'm angry at everything.
I'm angry with the long lines at the DMV.
I'm angry at people who turn without a signal.
I'm angry at needing two forms of ID to cash a cheque.
MURRAY: Why?
Everyone thinks they can push me around 'cause I'm a little guy with glasses
Well, I don't wanna take it anymore.
Yeah. And I know just that person you can take it out on
Sounds good.
All right. Now tonight you're gonna come over to my place for dinner.
Now, when you hear this post hypnotic word,
you're gonna turn into that monster and you're gonna attack whoever said it.
And then you're gonna grab that...
controlling, manipulative
over bearing loud mouth
And then you're gonna take them to a distant place do whatever you desire.
Yeah. And the word is...
What's that crap that Luann makes me eat every night?
The word is, farfel.
Boy, Dr. Chester, Mrs. Chester,
this is such a treat.
LUANN: Thank you.
Try not to talk while you chew Murray, you'll digest better.
[CHEWS LOUDLY]
[LUANN LAUGHS]
[GULPS] I'm sorry.
Oh, and there's a reason we use coasters.
This table cloth is made by one hundred year old incas [LAUGHS]
I'll be right back with the main course. [BLOWS KISSES]
Boy, she's a wild one.
Yeah, kinda makes you angry, huh?
Huh?
LUANN: Ta-da!
Hey doc, what is the main course?
Oh, you'll see.
Honey, what are we having?
What do you think?
I don't know, what do we normally have?
Not, what we're having tonight.
What's this? This is steak.
You're not happy?
Hey, this looks great to me. Can I have the burnt part?
Can't you just shut up?
I'm having problems here.
I was... I was expecting a different dinner.
I try so hard to please my man and then he complains
because I try to do something nice for him.
Because I didn't serve him...
Farfel.
[RUMBLING]
[ROARS]
[LUANN SCREAMS]
[APE LAUGHS]
[LAUGHS] [CUTLERY RATTLES]
No point in, letting good food go to waste.
[MOANS SOFTLY]
Hello Debbie.
What you doing this weekend?
Oh, I don't know.
How would you like to go to Paris?
Croissant in bed.
The Eiffel tower.
City of light.
[SHERWIN LAUGHS LOUDLY] [DEBBIE LAUGHS AWKWARDLY]
[SHERWIN WHITLES]
[BLOWS RASPBERRY]
Oh, no! No!
I said drag her far away.
[SIGHS IN EXASPERATION]
[LUANN ON THE INTERCOM] Doctor.
Your patient is here.
Patient?
What patient?
Murray. [DISCONNECTS INTERCOM]
[APPROACHING FOOTS]
Hey doc, what's shakin'?
[CLOSES THE DOOR]
Murray!
Hey...
I gotta thank you again for last night.
That was a lovely dinner.
Whoa! what happened to your office?
Murray, what are you doin' here?
Well, doc, I'll tell you.
It's about last night.
My memory's gone funny. It's fine, until that radicchio salad that we had.
But then after that, nothin'.
Really? Yeah.
And the funny part is,
but ever since then, I've been having these...
strange flashes.
Weird visions of violence.
Yeah. Well those... that's good.
See, that's a good sign.
What's happening is your...
you've got your sub-conscious all the time with its desires.
Your unconscious desires are... well, you're thinking about them so much,
that they're finally pushing themselves right into your consciousness.
Yeah? Yeah.
I had a quick flash of becoming a ferocious beast.
Well that's... derayed.
It's the end. [LAUGHS LOUDLY] It's the end man.
It's sin city.
It's your rage manifesting itself as...
carnal desires. [SPITS AND LAUGHS]
Oh.
I also had a quick flash of... [BREATHES HEAVILY]
attacking and killing your wife.
Well, my wife... see my wife is your mother.
That's see...
[STUTTERS] that's a good sign. That means, that you're growing.
You are now able to symbolically confront your mother
and vanquish her. [LAUGHS]
You just vanquished...
MURRAY: Oh, oh and I have one other strange memory.
Of chopping up your wife's body into little pieces
and hiding all the parts.
What do you think of that?
What do I think?
I think I told you to kill her and take her far away.
[LUANN GASPS IN HIGH PITCH]
Oh, try not to look so disappointed Sherwy.
Voices?
I'm hearin' voices?
Luann! Luann, honey.
[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY] Luann, I... I only wanted you dead because
you were drivin' me crazy.
[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]
[DOOR OPENS] Sherwy, I'm hurt.
If I hadn't heard that myself, I never would've believed it.
You're alive!
What kind of patient are you?
Why didn't you obey my command?
But I did obey.
I did to her whatever I wanted.
Unfortunately, she wanted it too.
What?
[BLOWS KISSES]
Oh, there's my scarf.
I knew I left it here. [BLOWS KISS]
Oh Sherwin, I'm sorry if we got carried away and made a mess of your office.
But I've finally found a man who appreciates me.
Old Murray here, might look like a puny little guy but,
when he gets riled up, he is a beast.
[ROARS SEDUCTIVELY]
Yeah, thanks doc.
I think I've overcome my fear of aggression.
But I wanted you to kill her.
But doc, I didn't want to. So why would I?
I told you, I'm tired of people pushing me around, givin' me orders.
That's why I came to you in the first place.
That's why you've never been a very good psychiatrist, Sherwin.
You don't listen to your patients.
You don't hear their secret desires.
[BLOWING KISSES]
[SMIRKS] 'Kay!
Well, I got my own... [BLOWS KISSES]
action. [LAUGHS]
You...
actions.
I got action, all right.
I got... I got all kinds of action.
Debbie and me are going to Paris.
And see we got, airline tickets and everything.
Doctor, what are you talking about?
It is okay to kid around in the office. But I've got my own boyfriend.
I'm not going anywhere with you.
See, she... [SPITS AND SPLUTTERS]
[SHUSHES] Oh fine.
Who cares?
You take the plane tickets and get the hell out of here.
Really? What an unexpected gift.
Shut up! Just consider that reward for getting cured.
Now get out. Get out of here. Out! Out!
All right then, good bye. [BLOWS A KISS AND LAUGHS]
Who's gonna miss you, just get out. [THUD]
[SIGHS ANGRILY]
Oh, Murray!
I hope you choke on all her farfel.
[RUMBLING]
[DEBBIE SCREAMS]
Very funny.
Turn back into Murray and get the hell out of here.
I... I'm not scared.
[YELPS]
Just remember when you're hypnotized,
you can only do what Murray really wants.
Uh-huh,
and we both want this.
[SCREAMS]
