Operator: 911. What's your emergency?Lyle: Oh, God! An intruder. This guy -- He broke into my house, and he tied me up, and -- Oh, god -- He made sure I had to watch as he woke up my -- My wife! And he -- He charmed her. Made her laugh. Then he made it so they found little similarities...ways their world views coalesced, and, over time, he made her fall in love with him.Operator: In love?Lyle: And now they're in a committed relationship where they look out for each others' emotional needs with a maturity I'll never be capable of achieving.Operator: Okay, sir, I'm going to tell you what to do. But you have to remain calm.Lyle: Please, hurry.Operator: Now. You're not going to be able to compete with this guy on fulfilling her needs. So you have to make a drastic show of indifference, play on her insecurity. Stoke her latent desire to have her inner sense of worthlessness reinforced. Can you do that for me?Lyle: I don't know how!Operator: Just ignore her, sir. Then when she looks for you for validation, treat her like dirt.Lyle: Oh, God.Operator: Degrade her.Lyle: It's -- It's working.Operator: Don't let up. keep it going. It worked. We're back together.Lyle: Ah, thank you so much.Operator: No need to thank me, sir. I'm just doing my job.
