Disneyland1954

Jake:
[Jake is working out in the gym with the weight gravity devices, small suction cups that can be put anywhere on the body and can be programmed to simulate any weight]

Dr. Leland Eugene:
[Leland enters the gym]

Dr. Leland Eugene:
Do you have the, uh...

Jake:
Yeah, got it right here! [Jake bends down to grab the control device which allows the weight cups to be programmed. He sets the two on his outer wrists back to zero momentarily]

Dr. Leland Eugene:
[Dr. Eugene has already grabbed a couple of weight cups and put them on his inner wrists. He looks to Jake] Can you set me up for twenty pounds?

Jake:
[winded] Yeah, sure. [Jake inputs the weight for Dr. Eugene's weight cups, and Dr. Eugene begins performing slow, controlled curls]

Dr. Leland Eugene:
I guess it's a good thing you can't drop these things on your toes.

Jake:
That's funny! No, I mean it, I never thought I would laugh at anything you said. [Jake moves the weight cups on his inner wrists so he can do curls as well]

Dr. Leland Eugene:
That's pretty much the way every one feels about me.

Jake:
Well, you can lighten up a little.

Dr. Leland Eugene:
I know, that's just what I would recommend to someone like me.

Jake:
What else would you say?

Dr. Leland Eugene:
While you should try to get along with others, it's important to be aware of your own emotions.

Jake:
Emotions have their place. Sometimes they help you, and sometimes they just get in the way. Wouldn't you agree, Doctor?

Dr. Leland Eugene:
Well, yes. Tell me, Mr. Brown, did you ever think about going into Psychiatry?

Jake:
There are enough head shrinkers in the world without me adding to all that. [He bends down again and sets his weight devices to zero, afterwords, extending his hand to shake hands] And forget Mr. Brown, the name's Jake.

Dr. Leland Eugene:
Um... [Dr. Eugene looks to his weight cups, awkwardly]

Jake:
Oh! [Jake punches the button on the control device setting Dr. Eugene's weight cups to zero]

Dr. Leland Eugene:
[Dr. Eugene returns the handshake] Leland.

Jake:
Leland?

Dr. Leland Eugene:
As any good shrink would say, blame my parents.

Jake:
[Jake laughs]

Dr. Leland Eugene:
[Eugene smiles back]
