Beyond Therapy

Note: This show is rated PG-13 for strong language and adult situations.

Bruce and Prudence meet through a personals ad, but their date doesnt go so well. He expresses emotions and likes to cry. Prudence doesnt think men should cry unless something falls on them. He has a male lover. Im bisexual, he tells her. Shes not sure; they talk at cross purposes some more, and then end up throwing water in each others faces.

We then see them talk about their meeting with their respective psychiatrists. Hers is a macho pig who once seduced her and keeps talking about his prowess. He refuses to say much, but occasionally bursts into inappropriate anger. His is a warm, encouraging woman who embraces her patients, talks through her Snoopy doll and believes in expressing all feelings no matter what. She encourages Bruce to cry, and on hearing he threw water at Prudence she cries out Good for you! Ruff, ruff, ruff! The ruff ruff is her barking for Snoopy.

Somehow Bruce and Prudence meet a second time, surprisingly overcome their initial loathing, and start to maybe like one another. But then she has to meet the male lover Bob; and listen to Bobs crazy mother on the phone. And the whole thing comes to a chaotic end in a mad restaurant scene where screaming and shootings take place, and Bruce and Prudence almost get together, but dont quite. They do like one another though, and end by humming softly together their favorite song, Someone to Watch Over Me.
