People say on the third date, that's when you see a therapist together.

Mary Worth 4231

"Ed, you may not realize you need therapy, but I do."

Mary Worth 4230

Careful, Estelle, it may just be a hot flash. Hard to tell the difference sometimes.

Mary Worth 4229

Mary Worth 4228

"Clair de Lune, Rhapsody in Blue, Ravel's Scarbo, and Chopin's Étude Op. 10 No. 4. I can only remember a handful."

Mary Worth 4227

You didn't, Estelle? Did you even read the website you recommended, Not One More Vet? Or did you just look at the happy pictures?

Ed: "... Willing to have whine with their cheese."

Estelle: "I'm sorry; I don't have any cheese."

Mary Worth 4226

I'm sorry, every time Dr. Ed talks about euthanasia, I can only think of this and start laughing:

Mary Worth 4225

Gosh, I hope Steven is doing okay. I worry about that kid. He spent years in training, and now he's going to start over. At least I hope he's starting over, and that permanent time-off isn't some sort of euphemism for, you know, moving to West Virginia.

Mary Worth 4224

This goes against everything I know about adult cats and dogs. Everything the Humane Society counsels as well. But I guess Ed and 'Stell can move in together.

Mary Worth 4223

Dr. Ed, you're going to need to clean your shirt sleeve very carefully.

Mary Worth 4221

Maybe tomorrow Estelle will ask Ed over for dinner.

Mary Worth 4220

Faint of heart... Is that why Steven took time off? He's faint of heart? I've got a feeling in my tummy-brain that someone better keep a close watch at Lookout Point.

Mary Worth 4219

Please don't spill your hot cat coffee on your lap, Estelle! You might drop your phone in it.

Mary Worth 4217

I'm fairly certain we are headed toward a thoroughly thought-through and compelling story about the risk of suicide among veterinarians. How many lives will be saved, I do not know. It all depends on how many depressed veterinarians read Mary Worth every day.

Mary Worthy 4216

I used to take piano lessons as a kid, but I quit because they were so boring to me. So what I really want to do is watch someone else practice the piano. Maybe tomorrow, Estelle can refill the water in her vase. That would be really interesting, too.

Mary Worth 4215

Okay, I did check it out. And, uh, it is a suicide crisis site for veterinarians. Estelle must have picked up on signs I didn't spot. I'm sure Ed will really appreciate the recommendation.

Mary Worth 4214

Gee, Mare, great advice. Earth shattering. You are really good at relationships. Without you, how would Estelle ever know what to do or say?

Mary Worth 4213

Oh, now you really LIKE Ed. I thought you said you were in love with him. I know those are not exclusive emotions, but it sure sounds like you are downgrading this relationship to avoid being hurt. Don't let your fast failures discourage you so much, Estelle.

Mary Worth 4212

We've been calling this one for weeks, now. Ed needs someone to organize his mess of an Animal Hospital, and Estelle needs a man. Time to reenter the workforce and spend all of your time together. Plus, you could get rid of Steven, which would make everyone happier... including Steven.

Mary Worth 4211

Something you've never felt before? Never? Not even with Arthur Zero?
