*** Script ***

What is Love?

M: Ah! It hurts!

W: What does?!

M: Not knowing what to do with everything.

W: Um… please elaborate. I have no idea what you're talking about.

M: You see, I went to see a psychiatrist. I felt like I'm going crazy!

W: About what?! You need to be more specific than that!

M: I said it felt crazy. Then again, maybe it was supposed to make you feel like that.

W: I can't believe I have to ask this again. What is IT?

M: The thing that hurts! There's something inside me, right smack in the middle that just aches sometimes.

W: Your chest? You have chest pain? Um… what do you call it: Heartburn?

M: It sounds like it, but not quite! Yes, yes… something about my heart, and a burning sensation. Am I dying?

W: What? Why did you go to a psychiatrist instead of a cardiologist then?

M: Because she said I have to talk it out, or else I just might suffer from a heart attack!

W: And did you talk it out? What did she say?

M: She gave me a medical prescription.

W: What did she prescribe for you?

M: She said she prescribes the person who makes me feel this way.

W: WHO did that to you? Let's get him or her!!

M: Well, that would be… YOU.
