INT. OFFICE BUILDING - AFTERNOON
Valerie and Josh, Valerie's boyfriend, is meeting a therapist. The room is full of awards, there's a desk in front of a big shelf with books and more awards, there's a chair behind the desk and two chairs in front of the desk.
Therapist -
I would diagnose him as a sociopath.
Valerie -
What can we do to help him?
Therapist -
It's hard to treat, but it's treatable. He just has to come to therapy every month or week, whatever you guys decide. I'll give you guys a moment.
The therapist walks into another room to give them space.
Valerie -
Baby what do you want?
Josh -
Anything will be fine, I think once a month is good, I don't have that much time to come.
The therapist comes back in and they start talking, but you can't hear their conversations. A little time has passed before Valerie and Josh both gets up and leaves together.
