- Ted Lasso: How long these little chats you do take?
- Dr. Sharon Fieldstone: Sessions typically last 50 minutes.
- Ted Lasso: Okay. But you charge by the hour, right?
- Dr. Sharon Fieldstone: That's correct.
- [Ted offers a tight smile]
- Dr. Sharon Fieldstone: I take it you're not a fan of this kind of work?
- Ted Lasso: No, ma'am.
- Dr. Sharon Fieldstone: Why's that, do you think?
- Ted Lasso: You want the truth?
- Dr. Sharon Fieldstone: I'm only interested in the truth, Ted.
- Ted Lasso: 'Cause I think it's bullshit. You don't know me. We don't have history. And yet you just expect me to spill my guts about all the gory details of my life: the fights, the mistakes, my deep dark secrets. But you ain't listening 'cause you care about me. No. No, you're only listening to me 'cause you're paid to listen to me. You're getting paid to just jot down your little notes and diagnose my tears. And then what? Probably just blame it on my folks, right? I mean, you say you're only interested in the truth. And yet here you are, charging an hourly rate for only 50 minutes of work. Like I said, it's bullshit.
- Colin Hughes: I just wondered... Well, I was wondering if I'd done anything to annoy you.
- [Nate swivels his chair to face Colin]
- Colin Hughes: It's just because I felt like you got angry at me for taking the piss yesterday, but Dani and Jamie did the same thing and you didn't get mad at them.
- Nathan Shelley: Oh. Yeah, I can... yeah, no, I can explain that. You see, Jamie and Dani are like Picasso and Gauguin.
- Colin Hughes: Pedophiles?
- Nathan Shelley: Artists. They're artists. And Colin, you paint too, but your work doesn't end up in museums. It hangs at... well, you're like a painting at a Holiday Inn, you know? You don't inspire. You don't move people. You're there. You cover a bloodstain. You do the job, so... just do the job.
