There’s a strange yet stylish man in the chair and Chloe has been trying without success to put a halt to some very inappropriate …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Man<\/strong>: Stroke it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chloe<\/strong>: No thanks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Man<\/strong>: You\u2019ll like it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chloe<\/strong>: I\u2019m sure I will. In fact I\u2019ve stroked a few of them in my time. I\u2019m just not sure its appropriate to …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Man<\/strong>: It likes you. Look. He\u2019s happy to see you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chloe<\/strong>: Yes. I tend to have that effect. Now if we could just get back to the …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Man<\/strong>: Look at it!! It\u2019s really happy. I\u2019ve never seen it so ….. active.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chloe<\/strong>: it does appear to be having a nice time. I wonder if you should be doing that to it though?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Man<\/strong>: It likes a stroke. Go on, stroke it. You\u2019ll like it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chloe<\/strong>: this is getting a bit out of hand … sorry … bad choice of words. What I mean to say is, you appear to be very attached to it and sometimes …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Man<\/strong>: I love it! What\u2019s not to love? Look at it. So big, so hairy. So … magnificent.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chloe<\/strong>: did it just spit at me?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Man<\/strong>: I told you he was excited.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chloe<\/strong>: I think you need to put it away now. We really should be getting back to matter in hand … sorry … another bad choice of words. Maybe it will be useful to think about why you\u2019re so … attached to it. What does it represent to you?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Man<\/strong>: My juices flow whenever I stroke it. Without it I am nothing. … What\u2019s so wrong with that?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chloe<\/strong>: You only feel you are useful when you have it …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Man<\/strong>: in my hands, yes. I like playing with it. The release it gives me is ….well, it loosens me up, I can get myself going. Look! Look at what it does to me!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chloe<\/strong>: I think you\u2019ll bruise it if you keep going at it like that.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Man<\/strong>: get me some paper! Quick! I\u2019m about to …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chloe<\/strong>: Oh bloody hell. Sorry but that was really inappropriate behaviour in a therapy room.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Man<\/strong>: Its too late! I missed it. The moment has gone. You should have got me the paper so I could capture it! This is what I pay you for?!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chloe<\/strong>: Actually, its not what you pay me for. I\u2019m here to look at why you\u2019re so attached to …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Man<\/strong>: I\u2019m exhausted. I need to lie down. Next time have paper handy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chloe<\/strong>: I\u2019m not sure if there will be a next time after today\u2019s performance. Look at the state of the carpet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Man<\/strong>: I\u2019ll double your money.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chloe<\/strong>: Righto … oh, and Mr Lagerfeld?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Man<\/strong>: What?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chloe<\/strong>: please leave the cat at home next time.<\/p>\n
