You know, a sci-fi plot, I would make it this; that in a hundred years therapists will be like psycho-social prostitutes. You pay them a fortune to be your best friend, meanwhile they have their own best friends, so that's another industry entirely, you know, and you have like contracts you sign, sometimes they're for a long time ... these T's would have to be robots. They couldn't be real people. But the thing is, we couldn't know they weren't real people, otherwise it wouldn't work, would it, because it's all psychological, isn't it, about being loved and accepted. So then that's another whole industry, keeping everything a big secret ...
