Group

Lisa: Hi, you must be Niall.

Niall: Y-Yes.

Lisa: I'm your counselor, Lisa. You've probably heard quite a bit about me.

Niall: No.

Lisa: Well, you will. (gestures to empty chair) Have a seat.

Zayn: Not there, that's my seat.

Niall: (points to other empty chair) What about this one?

Zayn: No, that's where Louis sits.

Niall: Are you kidding me?

Harry: (smirking) You can sit by me.

Lisa: Harry, don't be a shithead.

Harry: What? I'm just being polite.

Lisa: Everyone, sit down. Why is it so hard for everyone to just sit in a goddamn chair?

Zayn: Because we're drug addicts.

Lisa: (sighs) Thank you, Zayn.

Zayn: Anytime.

Niall: Excuse me, Lisa? I have a very important AP Chemistry paper due in, like, two days, and I was wondering if I could skip this and work on it? I have the research and all that done, I just need to–

Lisa: Niall, dear, this is rehab, not study hall. You're supposed to be focusing on getting better, not getting into Yale.

Niall: But shouldn't you be supporting healthy behavior? I just really need to–

Lisa: Sweetheart, I'm not sure it is healthy behavior with you. Now, let's move on.

Harry: Welcome to Group, Niall.

Lisa: Liam, let's start with you.

Liam: (confused) Why me?

Lisa: How are you feeling?

Liam: (shrugs) Fine.

Zayn, Harry, Louis: Bullshit.

Niall: What?

Liam: Damnit.

Lisa: Louis, can you please tell Niall what "F.I.N.E" means?

Louis: "Fucked-up, Insecure, Neurotic, and Emotional."

Niall: I still don't understand.

Zayn: (sighs) It's an acronym.

Niall: But how come everyone said "bullshit"?

Lisa: Louis, why do we say "bullshit" when someone says that they feel fine?

Louis: (scratches head) Because it means they're hiding something?

Lisa: (smiles) Good.

Niall: (still confused) But what if you really do feel fine?

Lisa: Louis?

Louis: There's no such thing as feeling fine.

Niall: (whispering to Harry) Why does she keep calling on Louis?

Harry: He's working on his self-esteem.

Lisa: Good job, Louis. Now, back to Liam. Liam, look at the pictures on the wall. There are about forty to choose that will help describe how you're feeling. Choose one that fits.

Liam: I don't even know what half of these mean. (points to one) What does "ambivalent"?

Niall: The inability to make a choice or feeling two opposite emotions at the same time.

Harry: Woah guys, we got a smartass here.

Lisa: Watch it, Harry.

Liam: Okay, well I feel ambivalent then.

Lisa: Why? Explain.

Liam: Why? I did what you asked.

Lisa: What conflicted emotions are you feeling?

Liam: I don't have any.

Lisa: But you said you feel ambivalent, didn't you?

Niall: (groans) This is ridiculous.

Liam: Um, I guess I feel pissed.

Lisa: Okay. At what?

Liam: At being here, I guess.

Lisa: And?

Liam: I don't know. I guess... scared.

Lisa: Scared of what? Open up Liam, it's okay.

Louis: We're all scared.

Harry: (scoffs) I'm not.

Zayn: Shut the fuck up, Harry.

Lisa: (softly) What are you scared of, Liam?

Liam: That all of this will be a waste. That after all of this time in Group and after everything I go through while I'm here, nothing will change... That everything will just like how it used to be.

Lisa: Good.

Louis: (smiles) Yeah, you did really good.

Liam: Thank you.

Lisa: But I'm not sure that you really understand the correct definition of "ambivalent."
