Chris Connor : Well, then... then... then just tell me what's going on.
Dr. John Becker : Nothing's going on, nothing's going on. At least, I don't think there is. I don't know, it's just... I feel different.
Chris Connor : What do you mean, "different"? Are you okay?
Dr. John Becker : Yes, I'm okay! It's... at least, I think I am, you know? I... I don't know, I just... lately, I've been thinking about a lot of things. You know, my work, my friends, you. None of it's perfect, but... none of it's exactly horrible, either.
Chris Connor : [smirks] I know *I'm* flattered. John, what are you trying to say?
Dr. John Becker : It's... it's like all the irritating things that people do - you know, cutting me off in traffic, disagreeing with me - it just doesn't seem to bother me as much. And then tonight, the patient I've been visiting, Mr. Gordon, he passed away.
Chris Connor : Oh, I'm sorry.
Dr. John Becker : Uh, thanks. I mean, it happens. But, you know, the point is that he was... he was okay with dying. He was able to look back at his life and feel good, you know, content. Lately, I think I... I think I've been feeling... kind of that way, you know? I guess what I'm trying to say is I... I think I might be... I don't know... happy.
Chris Connor : Wow. No wonder you've been so upset. Bet this is really hard for you, isn't it?
Dr. John Becker : Well, it is new.
Chris Connor : You do understand that most people work their whole lives to feel happy. It's considered a *good* thing.
Dr. John Becker : I know, I know. I'm dealing with it.
Chris Connor : I'll help you any way I can.
Dr. John Becker : Thanks. I don't know, I guess we'll just take it one day at a time.
[looks down at a man in the street]
Dr. John Becker : [shouting] Hey! You moron, what the... How'd you like it if I took a whiz on your front porch? Go pee in the park like everyone else!
Chris Connor : Feel better?
Dr. John Becker : Yeah, a little.
