|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Hello? Who is this? Please calm down. Can you tell me who you are?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Green:
|
|
Oh, Doctor!
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Anna? Is it you? Please talk to me. What happened?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Green:
|
|
Oh, Doctor! He said...he said...he just said that he found the Woman. The one he is going to marry.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Who found the woman?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Green:
|
|
Tony! On Friday we were talking and everything was all right. He said that he would call me that night, but he never did. I waited till Saturday and then tried to call him but he wasn't there. So I left a message on his machine. And he wouldn't call me. I kept trying to reach him all weekend. Finally today I started calling him at work. I kept calling and calling. And then finally the receptionist went to look for him. And then...and then...Oh! Doctor!
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Anna please try to calm down. What happened? Is Tony okay?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Green:
|
|
Oh, he's fine. He is better then fine. He managed to find a woman he is going to marry this weekend!
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Oh?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Green:
|
|
He never got on the phone, although I heard him speaking in the background. He kept asking this woman to tell me that he wasn't there, but she wouldn't do it. Finally, he asked her to tell me that he met the woman. The one he was going to spend the rest of his life with. He met her Friday night at the ball game and they have been together ever since. And can I please forgive him. But he never even picked up the phone. The receptionist told me most of this and the rest I just overheard through the phone. Doctor! How could he have found The One this weekend? We were just together. We...we...he said that...oh God, why does it always have to be like this? What did I do to deserve this? I feel like I'm being punished. I'm not all that bad. Really, Doctor. Why? Why? Why me?

Dr. Balis:
|
|
Anna, where are you?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Green:
|
|
I went home. I just walked out of SII when I found out. And then I was wandering the streets. I almost got into an accident. I guess I just wasn't paying attention. And everybody was just screaming at me and telling me I was an idiot. And...and...it's just so horrible.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
What is so horrible?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Green:
|
|
Oh, God, the way I feel. I just feel so...so...like I've been used or something. I don't know. I feel all icky, like I want to take a shower. Forever. God, I wish I just could wash it all off me.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Why don't you come here and see me? We could talk now.
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Green:
|
|
Oh, God. I think I'm going to go now. Goodbye, Doctor.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Anna, please hold on. Anna? Anna?
