Blunt Talk

Harry: Previously on blunt talk.

A family in la are living in a harmonious zero waste manner.

I mean, they're hoping that by having no impact, they'll have an impact.

Ow.

Walter wanted me to convey his most sincere apologies

For bumping you off the show again.

How do you know walter? He's my sex and love addict sponsor.

Rosalie, this is rosalie. What?

Here's my weird thing. I get too drunk at parties.

Major described a good orgasm

Like a red comet followed by a black abyss.

You were the nicest guy I've met in a long time.

This is all my fault. Oh, don't beat yourself up.

Not everything is your fault.

I need help!

I'll be right there!

Major!

Major, are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine, harry.

I don't feel so muddled when I look at the sky.

Very good, sir.

Is that ronnie's petting goat?

Yes, sir. He forgot her.

She's a sweet lass.

Yes, I looked into her eyes last night.

Very soulful.

She would have made a great silent film star.

I would agree, sir.

That was quite the party, sir.

The boys would be proud.

Yes.

What's the word on dr. Weiss?

He's in a stable condition, sir.

Should be out in a week.

Oh, excellent.

I saw you sneak into the tent with sylvia.

Yes, major.

I may have had a breakthrough with my issue.

Only took 50-odd years.

Harry, I'm so pleased to hear this.

I didn't see the red comet followed by the black void

As you described it, sir, but

I did tell sylvia I loved her.

I... I couldn't help myself.

Well, that's all right. It's natural.

it happens.

Could I have some more coffee, please?

Well, I didn't sneak off with anyone last night.

But I did smoke some marijuana.

Yes, sir.

I had a somewhat alarming dream.

Or flashback.

The day that westhoff and kent, you know...

Yes, sir.

I hesitated, harry.

And then there was too much fire.

I... I couldn't get to them.

I've never told you exactly what happened before.

You haven't needed to, sir.

I've always known you blame yourself.

Unfairly.

I shouldn't be here, harry.

I should have gone with them.

Then who would have saved me?

I don't know if it's of interest, sir,

But I saw an article last month

About a psychologist here in la

Who works with vets who have post-traumatic stress disorder.

You think I have ptsd?

Perhaps we both have a touch of it, sir.

I don't have ptsd, harry.

How could I have functioned all these years?

You function, but it doesn't mean you don't suffer.

We could try to see him today.

He has a unique approach.

Hi. Great party, walter.

Do you have any coffee?

Hershel, is that my robe?

Not to worry. No sex happened in this robe.

okay, bye.

That one is a firecracker. We'll discuss it at group.

Here we go. Oh, thank you.

No, no, martin.

You have to look us in the eye when you drink.

Otherwise it means years of bad sex.

Yeah, I didn't look someone in the eyes back in '79.

I was cursed with premature ejaculation

Till I met rosalie in '85.

Oh, sorry.

Oh, I got you some things for your trip to the appalachian trail.

I'll be right back.

Teddy seems really good.

He's taking huge doses of vitamin e.

Oh. Maybe it'll help.

So did you have a nice time

With the other rosalie last night?

Eh, it was okay.

But she's not as fun as you.

course she's not.

Oh.

I'm gonna miss you, martin.

yeah.

Are you sure you have to go find yourself

On the appalachian trail?

I'm only walking a part of the trail,

So I might not find my whole self.

Teddy: Stand up, son.

A journey requires a proper benediction.

Mark strand, one of the greats. Let me read a few lines.

"in a field, I am the absence of field.

"this is always the case wherever I am.

"I am what is missing."

Everything a man needs for a proper walkabout.

A stick, a book of poetry, a compass,

And a kiss.

Oh, my two men.

Here we go, guys. Here we go.

And pull. Pull. Pull.

I work on the principle that the body and the mind

Are deeply connected.

They're like two very good friends.

They're like you two.

The thing that's important for you to understand is

That you can approach your issues through the body.

But, doctor, can I have had ptsd

For over 30 years and not know it?

Well, it's impossible to tell by just looking at you.

But let me ask you a question.

How do you feel inside your body right now?

What do you mean? Your blink response.

How does your body feel here at its center?

On guard. Why?

Self-defense. Are you afraid?

Yes. Are you afraid of me?

No, I don't think so.

Well, then fear might be your resting position.

Like a car set at the wrong idle.

How about you, harry?

How do you feel inside your body right now?

I don't feel anything.

Excellent. Excellent responses both of you.

Now tell me, what sort of music do you like?

Buddy holly. Taylor swift.

Randy newman. Anything with a flute.

hey, mom.

What's wrong? Your face looks funny.

Nothing. I... I think I'm happy.

Well, that's wonderful. What happened?

Well, don't tell dad, because he'll ask too many questions,

But there's... There's this girl at...

You're in love? Is it mutual?

Can she have children?

Uh, it's probably not mutual,

But it's just nice to feel something, you know?

How's walter?

He still seeing that freudian?

Yes, but dr. Weiss had a heart attack

Last night from cocaine.

Figures.

Yeah, it is terrible.

We must express our feelings.

Otherwise the body breaks, so does the mind.

Shakespeare said, "my tongue will tell the anger of my heart,

"or else my heart, concealing it, will break."

Taming of the shrew. Yes, exactly.

So as you can see, I'm not really saying anything very new.

And you think that dance can help this?

Yes. Now, this is not a cure.

It's just a part of our overall holistic approach.

Martha, linda.

What I'd like to do now is just give you

A sort of a brief introduction to the work.

I don't know, ladies. This seems somewhat absurd.

I won't step on your toes, I promise.

You liked dancing during your near-death experience, major.

Ready?

Morning, everyone. All: Morning.

We have a lot to do, so let's get started with dr. Mendelson,

The post-traumatic stress disorder specialist

Whom harry and I saw this weekend.

He thinks that I may have...

Ptsd.

And that my body has been set on frightened

For the past 33 years.

Are you sure? This is terrible.

No, what is terrible is not dealing with it.

I have spent the last 24 hours researching

The most current treatments, including psychomotor

And dance therapy.

I want to do a series on this.

As I educate myself, we can educate our audience.

If I talk about having ptsd,

There are so many people, especially veterans,

Whom we can help.

A six-part series? I always like six-part series.

Sure, and I booked dr. Mendelson for tonight.

Oh, but we have a packed show, walter.
