One thing Ben had to admit that he liked about seeing Judy was that there's never anybody in a waiting room when he goes there and she greets him personally at the door. Of course it's because her office is in her house but today he's actually looking forward to his session because of last night's dream. Judy's greeting is demi-monde flirtatious but not unprofessional. It's her calculated risk which she uses to charm Ben into feeling casual so her laser-like questions don't leave him feeling interrogated. Minimum small talk and Ben jumps right to the dream. Right in the beginning when Ben is establishing the relevance of the people in the dream, Judy interrupts and says "Sorry, I'm just bewildered by the graphic on your shirt. Is that a pin-up on an old car?" Ben looks down and says "Uh yeah, why?" Judy comes back with "Did you pick that shirt out on purpose for seeing me today?" Ben puzzled questions "On purpose? like in making a statement by my shirt choice? No, I just grab from my shirt drawer and whatever comes out . . . " Judy starts again with "You mean you wear whatever. ." This time Ben interrupts,"Judy, are we going to spend time about my apparel when I let you know right up front that I need your take on my dream last night. Can we get to that first?" Judy persists, "Yes Ben but with all we've discovered in the past year, I'm baffled why you would come here with a sexist announcement on your chest . . " "Oh stop there, Judy" Ben implored "I need more this afternoon than your usual lecture on my tendency to see women as a compilation of body parts, OK"? Judy smiled and turned up the cutesie saying "Ben, you know I'd never lecture you so let's talk about your dream, where were we?" Finally . . . on to the dream
