You know, I’m still uncomfortable
with all this.
I’m aware.
Any more ideas?
Well, there’s a Gestalt thing we could try.
What Gestalt thing?
A sort of experiment.
You move your seat back
away from me.
And you keep moving until the
distance between us feels safe
Sounds good. Let’s try that.
Okay, move back two feet.
That’s actually better.
Good. Move back two more feet.
Even better.
Good. Keep moving.
(Murmur.)
Excuse me?
(Inaudible.)
Bert, I can’t hear you.
(Even more inaudible.)
Are you still moving?
(Silence.)
Yeah, you’re still moving.
Hellooooooooo?
(Sigh.)
Oh well.
At least now we know…
…how much intimacy you can tolerate.
