What? 288 00:17:58,190 --> 00:17:59,230 What do you think he would diagnose? 289 00:18:01,050 --> 00:18:02,050 With him? 290 00:18:02,110 --> 00:18:03,110 Who knows? 291 00:18:03,450 --> 00:18:08,990 You've heard him explaining away everything from a coronary to an 292 00:18:08,990 --> 00:18:12,970 toenail in psycho jargon.

Is that my intense aches and pains his patients 294 00:18:17,590 --> 00:18:22,250 from are neurosis -related.
