Roy ‘Tin Cup’ McAvoy: Okay, so how do I do it? Therapy, I mean, I mean, wh – how do I start doing it? Dr. Molly Griswold: Ooo-kay, Roy. Well, in parlance you might understand, just kick back and let the big dog eat. Roy ‘Tin Cup’ McAvoy: Suppose there’s this guy, and he’s standing on the shore of a big wide river, and the… river’s full of all manner of disaster, you know, piranhas, alligators, eddies, currents, shit like that… nobody’ll even go down there to dip a toe. And on the other side of the river’s a million bucks, and on this side of the river… is a rowboat. Dr. Molly Griswold: Mm-hmm? Roy ‘Tin Cup’ McAvoy: I guess my question’s this: What would possess the guy standing on the shore to swim for it? Dr. Molly Griswold: He is an idiot. Roy ‘Tin Cup’ McAvoy: No, see, he’s a helluva swimmer. His problem’s more like why does he always have to… rise to the challenge? Dr. Molly Griswold: He is a juvenile idiot. Roy ‘Tin Cup’ McAvoy: You don’t understand what I mean by the river. Dr. Molly Griswold: Roy, we’re talking about you, and what you like to call your inner demons – that human frailty you like to blather about – not some mythopoetic metaphor you come up with in a… feeble and transparent effort to do yourself credit. Roy ‘Tin Cup’ McAvoy: You mean you’re going to make me feel lousy? Dr. Molly Griswold: No. Roy ‘Tin Cup’ McAvoy: I came here to feel better. I mean, what kind of therapy is… Dr. Molly Griswold: Roy, Roy, Roy, you don’t have any inner demons. What you have is inner crapola, inner debris… garbage… loose wires, a few… [laughs] Dr. Molly Griswold: horseshit in staggering amounts.
