Doug: Then I get resentful because I feel like I should have, you know maybe a little time for myself. It’s like work is first, my family is a close second and I’m a distant third, bringing up the rear. You know? Is that crazy?
Dr. Leeds: I don’t know. I’m not a psychiatrist. Anyway, you don’t need one. If the problems on your mind are real, that requires real solutions.
Doug: Well, then ... What do you do?

Doug: God bless you, sir.
