Same Time, Next Year (1978): Analysis

The clip analysis from Same Time, Next Year (1978)

When did you go into analysis?
How did you know I was in analysis?
Just a wild guess.
What made you start?
My value system changed. One day, I took a look at my $150,000 house...
and the three cars in the garage and the swimming pool and the gardeners,
and I asked myself, "Why?"
I mean, did I really want the whole status trip?
So I decided to try to find out what I did want and who I was.
So you went from analysis to Esalen to Gestalt...
to encounter groups to transactional to nirvana, huh?
Just because some people are trying to widen their emotional horizons...
doesn't make the experience any less valid.
I've learned a lot. So I've noticed.
For one thing, you've learned to talk as though you're reasoning with somebody...
about to jump from a high ledge.
Okay, okay. I know sometimes I tend to overcompensate for my emotionalism.
Occasionally, there's a loss of spontaneity. I'm working on that.
Well, I'm glad to hear it. What else have you learned?
That behind the walls I've built around myself,
I'm a warm, caring, loving human being.
Well, I could've told you that 20 years ago.
Tell me. How's Helen reacting to your voyage of self-discovery?
Well, at first, she tended to overreact. Oh, yeah? In what way?
She threw a grapefruit at me in the supermarket.
Listen. It's only natural that there'd be some interpersonal conflicts to work through,
but now it's cool.
Helen's into pottery.
Oh. And what are you doing for a living?
We live very simply, Doris.
We don't need much. What bread we do need, I can provide by simple, honest labor.
Like what? I play cocktail piano in a singles bar in the Valley.
