- Doctor, I did it again.
- You're an arsonist; you're under investigation for the wildfire.
- No, I'm your patient with the eating problem.  I was here last week.  Remember me?
- But it says here in your file...You're on fire?  Oh, I'm on fire!...that was for office use only.  I bought a lot of these sheets from Staples after I passed the test.
- I told you about the cookies in my trunk and you were convinced I was wearing a jacket.
- Yes, of course.  Did you take the cookies with you into the mountains?
- There we go!
- Now I remember, you had a smoking problem, that's what must have started the fire.
- Close, but I don't smoke cigarettes; I eat too much when I can't help it.
- I want to help you, that's what they said I'm supposed to do.  Now will I find any cigarettes if I search through your jacket?  Did you bring your jacket like you promised to?  I'm sure I gave you an assignment.  Yes,  I must have!
- Well, here is a list of reasons why I feel I eat when I might not be hungry; your secretary suggested I make one.  
- This is facinating. Did you get this from the web?  Let me make a copy so that I may memorize it.
- I use it to help me identify my leading—
- Can I make notes on it, or will you be tempted to burn it?  Here, I'll write "Office Use Only."  Now it's official.
- I didn't know you were English? You just changed accents when you said, "Burn it."
- What?  Oh yes, I'm trying new things.  This is only the second note I've made; I'm excited.
- She also said I should ask you not to charge me for your wrong guesses.
- Yes, but I assure you, from now on, I'll just Google it.  Everybody does it; we all do.  Will you be paying in cash? I don't mind uncrumpling it.
