[Jodie has learned that psychotherapy could take years]

Dr. Rudolph:
Mr. Dallas, there are no shortcuts.

Jodie:
What about hypnosis? I read that some woman someplace was brought back to another life or something and in a matter of moments, it became why she cried every time she wore a hat.

Dr. Rudolph:
Hypnotherapy is a tool, but it's not always effective, Mr. Dallas. There are dangers.

Jodie:
Like what?

Dr. Rudolph:
Well, it is conceivable that I couldn't bring you back. You could actually get locked into another time period. Then I'd get sued up the heebee.

Jodie:
I'd sign a waiver releasing you of all liabilities.

Dr. Rudolph:
Then again, hypnotherapy can prove to be extremely valuable. [takes out a waiver to sign and a file folder] Would you be interested in some other forms of psychiatric shortcuts?

Jodie:
Like what?

Dr. Rudolph:
[produces a form] Oh, the sensory-deprivation tank.

Jodie:
What's this?

Dr. Rudolph:
Trust me, you'll love it. [produces another form] Then there's LSD-25. A very fine alternative.

Jodie:
No. No acid. I draw the line at hallucinogenics.

Dr. Rudolph:
[puts the form away] Good, just testing. It's illegal, anyway.
