00:00 Hey, Doc?
00:01 Mm-hmm?
00:02 I was thinking tonight could be a good night for a sex night, possibly.
00:06 Ooh.
00:07 It's an interesting idea, but, you know, Thursdays.
00:13 Stephen Laudam, how's the new opera coming along?
00:17 Good. Great.
00:18 We had discussed seeing a first draft of the score in two weeks.
00:23 Is that still all right?
00:24 I'm suffering from a temporary blockage at the moment.
00:28 Now, turn it back on.
00:30 One.
00:32 G flat.
00:35 Is he all right?
00:40 He had a total breakdown after his last opera.
00:42 Ha ha ha.
00:43 I can't do this.
00:46 You need to take a walk.
00:48 Jolt your brain out of its little rat pattern.
00:50 Interact with a stranger.
00:51 Okay, honey, I have a patient.
00:53 Bye!
00:54 Are we going that way?
00:57 I keep imagining you naked.
00:59 I don't know if you want to hear more details about these images.
01:02 No.
01:03 I bet every one of these people has a story for an opera in them, Levi.
01:11 What do you do?
01:12 I operate a tugboat.
01:13 Wrong hands, this tug is a deadly weapon.
01:16 I'm addicted to romance.
01:19 Isn't everybody?
01:20 I've been arrested for stalking.
01:22 I had to go to rehab.
01:24 And I'm not supposed to be doing this.
01:27 I can't believe that actually happened.
01:30 I mean, she seduced me, right?
01:31 She's a witch.
01:32 The demented tugboat captain who lures men to her tugboat and kills them and eats them.
01:38 I loved it.
01:39 How did you come up with that?
01:40 I was really angry at you.
01:44 And now it turns out I'm your muse.
01:46 You what?
01:47 Oh, Steve, I'll never leave you.
01:48 Um.
01:49 I love cleaning.
01:51 Cleaning is close to goldenness.
01:53 When my patients are talking, I imagine getting inside their heads with disinfectant and just scrubbing them down.
01:57 Your tugboat captain came to see me.
02:00 I'm in love.
02:01 No, no!
02:02 Just admit that I had a magic effect on you.
02:05 My imagination came up with the story.
02:07 My talent wrote the music.
02:09 I mean, you don't kill men and eat them, do you?
02:11 I haven't yet.
02:13 You know I can't resist a romantic story.
02:17 Even if I'm not in it.
02:18 I'm not in it.
02:18 (upbeat music)
02:21 (dramatic music)
