Tony's voice over, "You know, and thank you by the way. For listening. Plus, something about just getting it off my chest, and putting it out there in the atmosphere, instead of holding this in... I mean, this is what gets people sick, you know. Wow, I had no idea you were such a good listener." Tony sitting back on a leather chair, with his eyes closed, "To be able to share all my intimate thoughts and my experiences with someone, it just cuts the weight of it in half." Tony opens his eyes, Bruce Banner sitting on a couch beside Tony, holding his glasses and sleeping on his arm, his hand let go of the glasses, it drops on the couch, waking Bruce up, Tony oblivious to Bruce as he continues, "You know, it's like a snake swallowing its own tail. Everything comes full circle." Bruce rubs his eyes to rid the sleep, Tony continues, "And the fact that you've been able to help me process..." He looks over at Bruce who clears his throat awkwardly, Tony quickly asks him, "Are you with me?"

Bruce apologizes, "Sorry... I was, yeah. We were at, uh..." He trails off.

Tony gives Bruce a look, "Are you actively napping?"

Bruce stammering as he admits, "I was... I... I drifted."

Tony asks Bruce, "Where did I lose you?"

Bruce rubbing his beard, looks up as he thinks before looking back at Tony, "Elevator in Switzerland."

Tony states the obvious, "So, you heard none of it."

Bruce apologizes and explains, "I'm sorry. I'm not that kind of doctor. I'm not a therapist. It's not my training. Susie is the better listener."

Tony questions, "So?"

Bruce tells Tony, "I don't have the..." He tries to find the word.

Tony pushes, "What? The time?"

Bruce admits, "Temperament."

Tony remembers, "You know what?" He puts his hand on his forehead, "Now that I think about it... Oh! God, my original wound. 1983, all right?"

Bruce closes his eyes, knowing he's going to be there all day, he nods his head, "Yes." He's going along with Tony, he leans his head back, not really listening any more.

Tony ranting, "I'm 14 years old, I still have a nanny. That was weird."

Amy walks in, she listened to Tony's last sentence and comments, "T, you had a nanny up to the moment I was born and then you became the nanny yourself, cause you had to take care of me." She goes over to the fridge and grabs a bottle of water.

Tony sits up as he argues, "Well yeah, cause I didn't want what happened to me, happen to you." Amy walks over to them, standing by the couch Bruce is sitting on.

Bruce asks Tony, not moving his head up, "And that was?"

Tony points at Amy, "Boarding school." He gives her a look.

Amy gives Tony a blank look of disbelief, "'Boarding school'. Your going to go with 'Boarding school', that's your excuse?"

Tony argues back, "What do you want me to say? You were born when I was a teenager, practically an adult, already."

As they Stark siblings start to full on argue, Bruce silently gets up from the couch and quickly leaves the room, making his escape.
