GREAT MOVIE LINES, Part 57 — by Steve Nadis
I enjoyed this line [an exact paraphrase] from the movie, COUCH TRIP. During a lecture, Dan Ackroyd, the bogus shrink, says: “Some may ask, why must therapy take such a long time? To them I say there is nothing that can be done in a short time that can’t be done just as well in a long time.”

It’s been my experience that, as often as not, a therapist (whether consciously or not) want you to stay sick, so he can milk you for cash.
Snake, honey,
What is “an exact paraphrase?”

Yes GM, I think the Ackroyd character is saying the same thing. Exact paraphrase, Ma, is just a technical term used by editors; you needn’t trouble yourself over it… –S
