I dated a shrink once.
Yeah, so did I.
Oh, yeah? Well maybe it was the same guy.

So, I had this dream the other night, right? And in this dream I get save from drowning... by David Hasselhoff. Is that normal?
PPsychiatrist
[laughing] It could mean many things.
Here's what throws me: A guy like Evan goes on a security-duty and spends two minutes schmoozing with Lisa Bridges - Nash's ex - Nash Bridges, acting lieutenant of S.I.U. and next thing you know he's got a full-on romance going on with her.
PPsychiatrist
A full-on romance?
Yeah, that's what I hear.
PPsychiatrist
Sounds like you're envious.
Envious? No. You know that scene in Star Wars where that sand creature takes a thousand years to digest a guy? That's humane compared to what Nash would do if he caught Evan sleeping with his ex.
PPsychiatrist
What is your relationship like with the people that work for you?
Good.
PPsychiatrist
No problems?
We have our issues, but we generally work through them. I respect them and I think they respect me.
PPsychiatrist
You were involved in a shooting yesterday. You killed a man.
I killed a man, yes. I also saved another man's life.
PPsychiatrist
Do you want to talk about it?
What's to talk about?
PPsychiatrist
You tell me.
[sighs] Tommy Luck was a bad man, and his children will no longer have a father. And I did that. [pause] Like I said, he was a bad man. Then I went home to my father, and that's a whole other story.
PPsychiatrist
Your father lives with you?
Yeah, he's great. [starts laughing, remembering] He's got this uh, this pinball machine, and he woke me up about 3:30 in the morning the other day playing the damn thing. What a pain in the ass! [pause] At the time. But I look back on it now and it's a fond memory.
PPsychiatrist
Did you tell your father what happened to you yesterday?
Nah, I spare him the details. [pauses, looks at therapist] ...what?
PPsychiatrist
I get the feeling that you show a lot of concern for other people's feelings, but you haven't told me yet how you feel. How do you feel? [long pause] Can you tell me how you feel, Inspector?
[Nash's smile fades, he looks away and eventually looks back, eyes filled with tears]
