You asked me if I'm lonely. You asked if I could ever have feelings for someone.
Romantic feelings.
For someone I respect. But you didn't answer my question: is it too late?
You're worried that you've missed the boat? I think as we start...
No, could we just... you know, we don't have a lot of sessions left. I'm a big boy, I'm a grown man. What was it you said, my emotional drawbridge is up. I can take it. Just tell me if you think I can have what other people have. you know, a home, a relationship.
If you want to work toward those goals, then yeah, we can do that.
What does that mean, no? Is that couched in shrink-speak?

Detective, please. I know that I have inadvertently...
Look, this is not working for me. You know, you should call my captain, or 1PP, or whoever you report back to, and you should tell them that I am not a good candidate for therapy.
I need you to help me understand what I did wrong.
You wanna take my badge away again.
Right when you want to run...
This isn't working. It's not helping. [slams the door]
