What the fuck do you mean he's having you guys kiss? It's not that big of a
deal. It's a new method. I don't give a fuck about a method that this is not
appropriate. This isn't okay. The place don't go in there. No. I'm talking to
him. I'm talking to this fucking guy. Oh, mister King. Mister King, my ass. Sit
your ass down. No, sir. Calm calm down. Calm Who the fuck do you think you are,
you cocksucker? Stop. Sir, sir, please. I I think you're getting a little ahead
of yourself. Think you're Ahead of myself? You're telling my stepchildren that
they could have sex, that they could touch each other, that they could kiss and
grope and do all this shit, and I gotta fucking find out when I come home and I
see them on the couch making out like a fucking teenage couple? Who the fuck do
you think you are? Sir, clearly, you are getting ahead of yourself, and you are
It's a science.
Yeah. Sir, I understand you feel some sort of guilt about what's going on in
your family. You feel some sort of responsibility, and it's not Don't give me
this fucking therapy talk shit. Don't Dad. Here you go. With that. Come on. Sit
there. Can't come. There's have a seat, please. Go. Go away from him. Go. Go
away
him.
Him.
He's not a sex pest. Something at all like that. I I assure you, I don't mind
my path to seem a little unorthodox. You're a sick motherfucker, aren't you?
Yes, sir. You're tiny here, sweetie. I'll I'll I'll explain everything to you.
Okay, mister King? Fine. I can't wait to hear this explained to me. Please go
right ahead. Well, sir, if you allow me to introduce myself. My name is doctor
Jack Vegas. I've been practicing family therapy for ten years now. I've been
very successful with my methods. Okay? Before we start our session, I will let
you know, as told you folks before, we do record these sessions just for my own
personal records.
That being said, sir,
let's discuss your family matters. Please do. Alright. Tell me about my fucking
family. Well, sir, I think you're showing classic signs of a of a single father
who's going through a loss, the grieving of your wife surely has you upset. You
don't know how to
keep control of your own home without your wife around. And I think
am I see this.
Your family came to me because there's drift. They're they're they're they're
they're they're basically coming apart. I'm trying to bring them close together.
And she the kissing, that sort of thing, it's it's a very natural
feeling to have. That you wanna have that that that closeness, that bond. Well,
if so Fuck. Let me tell you something, doctor Vegas. Yes. The family might be
drifting apart because I have to wake up at 04:30 in the morning Mhmm. And take
my ass to work. And I don't get home until 06:30 at night because now I'm by
myself trying to put food on the fucking table for my family. So I don't know
who you think you are telling me that I'm not able to keep my family together.
Dad, he's not saying that. He's saying that there's a there's a intimate
closeness that you're you're at work all day. He just wants to help. Yeah. It's
all he wants to do. Yeah. Just hear him out. He has been helping us a lot. A
lot. When you're gone, we're getting along so well now. Yeah. I mean, you
noticed, like, the house is clean. We're not fighting anymore. Okay. I could
admit that, yes, when I come home, there's no more bickering. There is no
fighting over stupid little things like what's on the TV or whose stuff is in
whose space. Like, I I get that, and I understand that. And I'm happy that
you're able to move past those small tiny things, but I just don't see how what
you're doing is the solution. Well, sir, I mean, I think the whole family is has
this underlying stress, like I was saying. And I think that these methods,
although they are unconventional, I'll give you that, they are effective. They
they do bring the family close together.
I can tell right now that you're distant. You know? When was the last time you
had any sort of physical contact? Physical contact. I hug my daughter before she
goes off to class. I pat my son on the shoulder, tell him he's doing a good job.
What more could you possibly want me to do as a father? Not that sort of
physical contact.
More of a a loving,
close
contact. You know what I'm saying? I don't think I do, doctor.
Well, remember,
perhaps you can help your dad relax some. Because I think that's what the
underlying thing is. Like I said, the underlying stress is the issue. I think,
sir, you need to seriously relax. You're wound up. You you work a lot. Like you
said, you're away from your family. You're feeling all these different things
going through your mind, and you're you're feeling that that distance, that that
drifting away from your family. And, mister King, I I think perhaps it'd be
better for you to demonstrate.
Demonstrate? Yes. That way you can get a better understanding, better feeling
of of of what we've been doing with our therapy. River, is that okay with you?
In in front of it? I mean Yes. Yeah. It'll help. Who care? It's hard to ask. I
Yeah. But, like I mean, you're okay with this. What exactly we demonstrated
here, doctor? How that we can all come back together again as a family.
I mean, if it helps him, then then
You know? They they they really have been bonding well. Go ahead. Good. It's
it's brought us a lot closer together.
you two do get along a a little bit better. I can acknowledge that. But this
there's such thing as too close, and that's what I'm afraid we're coming to at
this point.
Mister King, I think you're having a a bit of an old fashioned traditional
viewpoint on this. It's just it's mister King, the world is changing. Like it
or not, we're
gonna have to accept that.
And, remember, why don't you go ahead and give Roman just a just a little kiss?
Just to show. Mhmm.
Oh, guys. Guys. It's okay, dad. It's your No. This is not okay. What what is
the harm? No one's no one's hurt. No one's injured. No one's Yeah. Those guys
gonna follow, mister King. No. They are siblings.
I you know,
true as that may be, mister King,
they are closer now. They're not. They're getting along. They're they're
they're behaving. They're they're happy. They're no longer grieving. They're no
longer separating themselves. Ruby's not locking herself in her bedroom or mom
was not off doing his thing. You know? These are Were you ever married, doctor
Vegas? I'm married now, mister King. You're currently married? Yes, sir. And
in the unfortunate circumstance Mhmm. That you lose your wife Yes. Do you think
that getting over it, not locking yourself away, that trying to come to terms
with it and making it okay is gonna do a fucking thing for you? Because I could
tell you right now that it doesn't. Ever since Blake passed, I spend every
single day grieving. And I do not wanna lose that, and I do not want them to
lose that either. Well, miss King, I think you're losing yourself. I think
you're losing your family. As as you you you keep this anger and this this
this wall that you're putting up around you, you just isolate yourself from
your family and everyone else.
Why don't you try why don't you just try just for the sake of this one therapy
session. If it doesn't work, I won't even charge. You don't even have to come
back.
But just give it a shot. Okay? Just give it a chance. Has this helped you?
I don't feel alone in our in our grief anymore. It's not, like, making me feel
like it's only grief.
And, you know, I just feel closer. I just don't want you guys to forget mom. Of
course not. We're feeling closer through this, actually. I feel better about
mom, if anything. Mhmm.
I it still does not click for me. It's still not making sense. But for you? It
is. It was new for us too, and now we're like, it's great. Remember?
Why don't you why don't we demonstrate again this time? Maybe Mhmm. Can you sit
back and just allow them to
explore each other?
There you go.
I feel bad about touching her like that. There you go.
Maybe you can
touch your brother as well. There you go.
Now, mister King, how does this make you feel? Does make you feel
uncomfortable? Feel fucking head, doctor. Of course. I mean, you you feel left
out. That's goes without saying. No. No. No. It's not about being left out. No.
No. It's okay. You don't have you don't have to deny it. You have urges too like
anyone else. You're you're a grieving man. I I understand. Again, you're putting
that wall up. You're you're projecting. You're you're you're you're trying to
lash out. You're looking for someone to blame, like I said earlier. There's no
one to blame here, mister King. You see? The simple fact of the matter is your
children are happier. It is helping.
Is that true for the both of you? 100%.
You know, let's try this river, if you don't mind. Why don't you put your hand
on your father's knee? Just caress his knee. Just for Look. I said I would be
open minded, and I Well, I appreciate that. Great. Go ahead, Robert.
How about don't be bachelorette. Okay.
It's okay. We're we're on a we're in a safe spot right now. Does help. I I
promise, But,
mister King, anything that we do or say in this office is strictly between us.
Okay? This goes nowhere else. There's no one's going to
judge you or make you feel in any way, shape, or form, like,
guilty about any urges or feelings you may have. Yep. Okay. Okay. Give give him
a press. Go ahead. Okay.
Maybe try
I know, sweetie. And you've both been
you've been you've been you've been great. You've both been great, and it's
been hard for me. Dad, you're stressed all the time. You're just too tense
every day. Like, you just need to relax a little bit. There's no time to relax,
Roman. There is. Our time's gonna slip by, and then what?
If you're fed, you're housed, if you're clothed, if you're educated. We are.
We're appreciative. We want our dad back, though. Yeah. But what's the point of
all that if you're not there? Yeah. If you're not present for it with us,
connected as a family. Son, when when your mother was around, she was able to do
a lot of that stuff so that way we could spend time. So we could go out and go
for a run or hit the basketball courts. Well, then we'll step up. We'll we'll
take on more chores. I'll get a job. But yeah. So what are you saying? We're
never gonna be connected as a family again? I don't I mean, don't you feel
closer right now? Just a little bit better about where our family is and where
we've been past couple months. Be real shy here. I am happy that we're able to
talk now. That is a big step. And
I guess keeping
Blake's memory alive and keeping her
with us
is the thing that has been driving me to isolate. Mhmm. And I work so hard
because I just want what's best for you, the both of you. This is new for me.
And now it just feels like
me doing it all and carrying this burden by myself is not something that I was
prepared for or that what I was expecting or that
or that I feel like I'm capable of. Mister King, this isn't your cross of beer.
It's
I'm not by yourself anyways. It's you have family. You have Yeah. We're here
for you, dad. I mean, now you're trying your best.
Well, I can see by your your your your body language already. You were tense
just a moment ago and just a little a little closeness, just a little
Yeah. Back rub, and your shoulders have dropped. Your your composure's changed.
I I can see you're you're bringing your those walls down. And that's great.
We're making great strides here. See, it works to be close with us. It does.
Your blood blood pressure coming down a little bit now? I'm sorry for Barging in
here. No worries. No worries. No the aggressiveness. I know that sometimes I get
a little Yeah. I get a little keyed up. I get a little stressed. And
Understandable. That's right. I take it out on people. And I know I've taken it
out on you guys too at home.
I'm so sorry about the belt. I'm so sorry. But saying it. It's a typical of a
New Yorker, I think. Well, that being said, this thing, I I have another
exercise that I think would be very beneficial to you and your family. Okay. If
you feel good about it. You feel everyone feeling alright? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Whoever likes you to give your dad a little kiss on the cheek.
Doctor, we've It's just a kiss on the cheek. It's just a kiss on the cheek. But
we've done so much already today. I don't wanna push. Oh, we still have another
thirty minutes or so. Mister King, we're we're only halfway through our session.
It'll feel like mom.
You just look so much like her, and that's that's been a big thing for me too.
It's like every time I I look at you, I cluster by the her. I do. You can see
her in a good way. It doesn't have to be painful.
You're right, sweetie. That that is true. It's Yeah. Just makes it 10 times
expect to see her at home and I see this spitting image of her. And I don't
know. There's still sometimes where out of the corner of my eye, I get get
confused. I understand, daddy.
Here.
Thank you, sweetie. Oh, good. But
it did. It did. It's still a lot cutting all at once, but
We're gonna do it again. Do it again? Okay. A little more Close enough. I mean,
are we how much Oh, River knows.
She
knows what to do.
River is
you're finally getting relaxed? I think so.
Okay. No. I I miss King, please. Please. We're not done. Okay, doc.
Sweetie, this is this is a little more than I'm comfortable with right now.
Okay. You know, we don't wanna push anyone's boundaries today. River, why don't
we why don't we start with you then? Why don't you why don't you try touching
yourself?
In front of my dad. Okay? Don't think you don't like that. Just think of it
more like, it's okay. Just just lean back and and just show your dad.
Okay. Show me what? This is part of the therapy that we've worked on. How I
relax. You know?
How comfortable she can feel around
her family. There you go. That's good, River.
Roman, you're you're doing good? I'm doing great. Good. Very good. Peter, how
are you how are you feeling? Uncomfortable, obviously.
Well, that's because you're you're not embracing.
She's my daughter. You keep saying that
as if it means something. It means she's my daughter.
But it looks so much like mama.
Just lean into it and let yourself feel it. You look like her in so
so many ways. You know, Peter, you can keep
denying it, but it's clear that you're aroused. That's irrelevant.
Why don't you put your fingers inside yourself for a second?
There
you go.
God, you're really doing good, mama.
Now we're want you to take your finger and put it in Peter's mouth. What? Just
re just trust in the process, please, Peter. I know it sounds, again,
unorthodox, but
I promise you, you'll feel different afterwards. Go ahead, Ruth. Just try that.
It's like exposure therapy.
Does she taste like Blake too, mister King? Yeah. There you go. Yeah. She does.
Much.
Remember? Why don't you
take the cocks out and stroke it a little bit.
At what point do we put a stop to this, doctor? Well, again, like, we got
another twenty five minutes of the session, mister King. So we're we have plenty
of time. Don't you worry about that. We're rolling. The time is a fact. What?
It's guarantee what we do, dad. This this is what what? Every time? He's the
therapist for a reason. Yeah. We gotta take him. Do what says. Well, it
progresses, mister King. I didn't just start out Yeah. That like this. It's a
it's a slow progression. Week by week, they come by. They get a little more
comfortable with one another. They learn to enjoy each other's company more and
more. They look forward to their time together.
We're getting so much closer, dad. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Jordan, is this what
you're doing at home when I'm at work? Sometimes. Yeah. We're bonding. My god.
Come on. You don't wanna bother us. You need to let go of your inhibitions here.
You need to you need to just let yourself go. Okay? Like your daughter said,
lean into
I promise, if if if at the end of the session, this is not for you, I I totally
understand, and and we don't have to have your back. But for now, I think it
would be very helpful if you were to stand up and
take part. In in joining this? Yes. It would it would really help if you were
to participate.
They do seem like they're enjoying themselves. We are. It's bringing us so much
closer together then. River, go ahead. Help help your father out. Clearly,
he's uncomfortable. Needs to see the sweetie, but Just relax, though.
It helps. I promise.
Fuck.
This is this is fucked up.
Fuck.
Very good. We're making tremendous games here, mister King.
I'm really, really happy with the way this this session is going so far.
Do you feel like we're making strides?
This it's
different. Yeah.
It's not your normal family therapy. I'll give you that.
God, it does feel good. Yeah.
How do you feel over there?
I feel closer than ever to my family, so I feel good. Excellent. Mhmm. Do you
feel like you're ready for the next big step?
I think so. Excellent. Gentlemen, I'm gonna have you stand up, please.
Next step.
You have to get down on your knees.
Now, Revere, I want you to
start with your father.
Start. Yes. Go ahead.
Sweetie. I'm there you go. That's great.
Doctor, what the fuck are you doing? This is family therapy, mister King. Yeah.
And you're not in my fucking family. Well, we're all in this together. I we're
He's basically family guides us. He's the one that shows us how to do it. You
did this before? Yeah. I mean, this is this is my practice, mister King. I
thought you understood that.
Unbelievable. There you go. That's excellent job.
I don't if you get that left hand.
You want me to swing you?
You've always had your mother's eyes?
There you go.
Nice and close.
How
do you inject yourself into this?
Well, like I said, it's just family therapy, and I'm a therapist too. I
don't want to worry, mister King. There's no extra charge for this. This is all
coming at the insurance. It fucking better be.
I'm so proud of the streets.
Really amazing. Let me take some notes real quick.
Get
up and
take care of your brother for a little bit. Mhmm. Is that okay? Mhmm. Okay.
We'll get nice and comfortable.
Thank you.
Sweetie, I never
I never noticed that before.
That's a shame, mister King.
Know, if we have a woman like that running around your home and you you never
noticed her
full figure.
All's glory. You know? Why don't you take a closer look, mister King? Come on.
Get down. Take a closer look. No. That that's too Yeah. Too what? Too intimate.
On, Peter. I mean, look look where we're at. Go ahead.
It does look very pretty.
Well, get in there. Don't be scared of it. Sucker bites you.
Sweaty, you
sure this is okay? It's okay, daddy.
Oh, you taste just like your mom.
River, how does that feel? It feels so good.
You think you're ready? I
think so. If you are too. Alright,
Peter.
I want you to go on in.
In. In. Listen to me. Come on. You you
she primed and ready to go. This is this your moment. This is my daughter. This
is your moment.
Should be your opportunity. I come on, dad. Let's just do this already. Yeah.
Don't you wanna get You know you wanna do it. I mean, it's obvious. Mhmm. What
do do? And you're you're both happy with with this? Mhmm. Yes. We're happy with
it. Yeah. We feel so much closer.
I mean, I
guess we can try.
If if it if it doesn't feel right, so we could just just say so. Okay? I don't
know. I'll stop. Yes, darling. Oh
Yes. Nice. Roman, have you have you done all of this?
You.
You gotta get nice and comfortable. So what what what's the next part of this?
Well, I'm glad you asked. I'm glad you asked, Peter. I'm gonna have my turn now,
and I want you to stand up here. There you go. Okay. Stand. Let's go. Oh,
already feel so much closer with you all.
There
we go.
Wanna take some notes, gentlemen, while you do your thing. Oh, sweetie. Oh,
yeah.
Rooney, would you like to kiss?
I just wanted to say I'm so proud of you, though. Yeah. You know, you've come a
long way
being together and and close and just everything
since your mom passed. And I
love you guys. Thanks, dad. Appreciate it. Too, dad.
Alright, gentlemen. How are you feeling? Pretty good? Yeah. Alright. Remember
we're gonna have to get down to your knees right here.
Remember like we did last time? Mhmm. Now
what? Well,
your daughter here is going to
relieve us all of our tension, Peter. Mhmm. As you can see, you're you're
almost completely relaxed, but I think you just need to relieve yourself on your
daughter's face. Mhmm. Yeah. If you're sure that's the best course, doctor.
Yeah.
I absolutely want a professional, aren't I?
Gonna have to tell you tell you dad what you want. It should come all over my
face, daddy.
You know, doctor, this was very unorthodox,
I do think we all managed to come a little closer as a family today. I agree.
Yeah. Great. I'm glad you guys feel like you made some strides. And and don't
forget you guys can practice the same therapy at home. You don't necessarily
need me here in the office. Mhmm. But it would be good to see you guys back here
next week. Okay. Same time. Same time? That'd be great. Alright. I think we can
do that. Cool. Okay. Very good. Thank you, doc. Yay. Thank you very much, guys.
Glad I could help. Thank you. Alright.
