Suicide Note (The Suicide Note)

"The best years of your life

"are the ones in which you decide

"your problems are your own.

"You do not blame them on your mother,

"the ecology, or the president.

"You realize that you control

your own destiny."

Does anybody know who said this?

Was it Albert Bandura?

No.

No, but you're close.

All right, I'll give you a hint.

He was the grandfather of cognitive behavioral therapy.

Miss Molly White, do you know the answer?

Albert Ellis?

So why would being in control of your destiny

be the best years of your life?

I guess because the best years are

when our decisions

are still ours,

good or bad, determined by our words.

That way we can actually create

the life that we want it to be.

So, if you are in control of your own destiny,

why did you not answer my question

when I asked you in the first place?

Are you sure

it would have changed my destiny if I did?

Perhaps not,

but if you don't speak up,

how will we ever know?

All right, that's it for today.

Remember, final papers due next Thursday.

Molly.

So I heard that the hospital

has chosen their 10 summer interns.

Congratulations.

You've earned it.

Thank you.

* It's an overdue admission *

* Defining what we're missing *

* While on our own and wishing *

* We could speed up time

* Outward indecision

* That leads some to religion *

* It's worth its ammunition *

* If you're taking

* Sides

* Taking sides

* And we don't know where to begin *

* Don't know how to fit in *

* Caught in between the lines *

* Fighting this world with insight... *

Guess what.

You decided to quit psychology and join the Peace Corps.

You got in.

Yes. Oh, I can't believe it.

All those hours of studying? I do.

Congrats.

Thank you.

Cowboy cookies on the house.

So, Miss Molly, what will it be?

The celebration's on me.

* The desperate revelation

* When we...

* Consumed by reinvention

* We're losing our intention

* To see life as a lesson

* Hidden in disguise

* In disguise

* And we don't know where to begin *

* Don't know how to fit in *

* Caught in between the lines... *

Afternoon, Irene, Molly.

-Hey, Curly. -Hi, Doug.

-I told you not to do that. -Sorry.

They're chocolate.

You know my wife put me on a diet?

Exactly. And you've been doing so well, you deserve a reward.

Thanks.

Bye.

Allison, hey.

Hi.

The university approved the end-of-the-year party

-at the pool next Friday. -Stellar.

For everyone but me. This place is gonna be a disaster.

We'll help you clean up afterwards.

Oh, I'm gonna take you up on that.

Night.

Do you want to watch Some Girls ?

No. You know what? I think I'm gonna hit the gym.

Lame.

* I can see the warning signs *

* The signs

* They tell me not to look behind *

* And we

* Don't know where

* Don't know how

* Caught in between the lines *

* Fighting this world from inside *

* Can't go back

* One-way track

* A million miles gone

* Is it taking us to where we belong? *

* Don't know where

* Don't know how

* Caught in between the lines *

* Fighting this world from inside *

* Can't go back...

I got in.

Oh my God. Brady, that's not funny.

You scared me. Wait, how did you get in here?

I ran into the old janitor out back.

20 is all it takes here and he'll leave the door propped open.

Well, if Allison catches you up here, I'm in deep--

She won't.

Get dressed and come with me.

Molly: Aww.

Takeout and romance-- my favorite.

Brady: And you're my favorite.

So you'll have your own patients?

In a sense.

I have to have 15 to 20 hours

of direct client contact each week.

That's the pre-doctoral requirement.

I'm so proud of you, Moll.

And my mom wants to have us over for dinner to celebrate soon.

And she'll cook actual food.

Oh, no, Brady, this was so great.

Thank you so much.

So how is the final art project going?

I don't know.

It still feels a bit muddled.

It's missing something.

Well, maybe

if you let me see it,

I could tell you what it needs.

Mm, I don't think so.

Nice try though.

Oh, come on. You know I won't judge.

You know I will.

You'll see it next week when everyone else does.

Oh, fine.

Oh, no.

It looks like Emma and Adam had another one of their fights.

She just got back. I should probably go check on her.

Yeah, no problem.

The drama never ends with those guys, huh?

Anyway, I gotta run too. Scrabble fun on west campus.

Very sexy.

See? You do judge.

I'm about to be a clinical psychologist.

I merely observe.

Why don't you observe this?

Oh.

All right, come on, let's get out of here.

Just get out of here, Adam, please!

I'm not going anywhere until we work this out.

Adam, please. I just need a minute to think.

-I need to be alone, okay? -No! I know, okay?

No, we either go talk

and we work this out or do it.

Say something we both know you're gonna regret.

I just don't know anymore.

You still love me.

Yeah.

You're not ready for this to be over.

We both know it.

Adam, hey, did you hear what she just said?

You need to go.

You are so drunk, I can smell it on you.

You both need to simmer, okay?

Yeah, okay, thanks, but I don't need another shrink.

So why don't you go mind your own damn business?

Adam, stop. You promised me.

Hey, hey, why don't you get lost before I call campus security

to come and carry out the guy whose ass I just nailed to the floor?

Irene.

Adam, you need to go. Just go.

Fine! All right?

But we're finished. You are finished.

Nobody dumps me.

Adam, please don't be like that.

It's okay.

What happened?

Another fight.

I'm so sick of this fighting all the time with him.

What was the fight about this time, huh?

We both screwed up.

But it was his fault first.

I just reacted poorly.

Maybe I should call him.

No, forget it. You're not calling him.

We promised each other when we started...

That you wouldn't be violent with each other?

Because he was two seconds away from punching your face.

Yeah.

I can't believe he acted like that.

-I was scared. -Me too.

I wasn't. I was gonna kill him.
