Aesthetic shortcoming?

Yes, dear, my rat bastard looks.

You really think you have aesthetic shortcomings?

Have you looked at me lately? I'm aware of this, I want to know what else I'm doing wrong.

Yes, I've looked at you lately. I kind of see you quite a bit and I don't see any short-comings.

Why do you think you're doing something wrong?

I think you need glasses.

Aren't I?

Nope, I have perfect vision.

What do you think you're doing wrong?

I don't know. But it seems I am. You should go ask my kid, or..whoever else.

Maybe you're focusing on the wrong things, focus on the things that you do right.

That would involve the ability to make such a list.

Larry, I think you're aesthetically pleasing, alright?

I don't see a huge flaw but maybe that's because we're friends. Still, I think you're a good guy who needs to remember that. May be a good idea to stay away from New York for awhile too.

I think you're right about the New York thing. We should head back to Portsmouth asap.

I'm right about the rest too but I agree. Is Scotty ready to go?

I can drive ahead and make sure the house is ready.

Almost, we have a few more things to tie up for him. GO ahead, we'll be behind you by no longer than a day.

Alright, I'll head out here soon. *Hugs him impulsively* You're a good man.

I'll see you guys when you get home.

::hugs her back, nods, watches her go::

Hmmm.

*wide eyes* Those are big words.

I'm sorry. I'm a lawyer, I have to pretend to be smart.

Pretend? Aren't you smart?

Not at all, my young man, not at all.

That's sad. At least you got a job!

Very true. Stay smart. Don't fall for any woman.

Ok, I will.. Is a woman making you sad?

That is only but a small bit of it.

Oh..what else?

My son is mad at me.

That's not good. Did you yell at him? I get mad at Daddy Foz when he yells.

I yelled a little.

You should say sorry. And hug him. *nods matter of factly*

Well the next time I see him, I will. Thank you.

You're welcome. My name is Harold Charles Fozzerelli. What's yours?

My name is Larry Paul. It's a pleasure to meet you Harold.

Aesthetic shortcomings in general, sir?

No. Those aside. Putting those aside, what is it I'm doing wrong with myself?

I... do not think that aesthetic quality has very much bearing on the quality of a human's existence, whether he is wrong or right, given that aesthetics are entirely a matter of personal taste. Are you suffering from some physical handicap, or not functioning properly, sir? Are you unwell?

No, I don't believe I'm functioning well at all.

Perhaps you should consult a physician?

I think the only doctor that may do me any good is a shrink...and...that is not me admitting to it. Just...a consideration..and it's not going to happen.

If you have acknowledged what is causing the problem, and know the solution to fix it, why do you not do so?

Because I am stubborn?

I see. Stubbornness is a human trait.

It is. Among many annoying traits we have.

I do not know whether or not it is annoying. But I do not understand it.

I don't either.

Anatomical shortcomings?

Oh no no. There is no concern in that area. It makes up for me being an ugly bastard.
