Mike Monologue - Good People

Goddammit are you serious Kate? I have spent so much time and money on trying to fix things with you! I thought that we were past this. Why do you believe so strongly that I'm not trying? That things aren't okay? Money's not exactly tight but I would rather not have to keep writing unimportant checks to some doctor that isn't even helping us. I'm a doctor too, Katie, and I see no problems here. I mean, we've had out hard times, but, who hasn't?

If I had it my way, oh boy, let me tell you, if I had it my way...I wouldn't be paying doctor fix it to mend my unbroken relationship. She just uses all of our money to take herself on vacation. My money! For someone else's vacation. It's crap.

How about this, Kate, why don't you let me run this family for once? We can use all of that money were wasting and go on a vacation ourselves. I'll take you and Ally anywhere you'd like. It will be amazing. A getaway.

If you would just listen to me Katie you would see that this family isn't broken. I won't allow it to be. I've spent my entire life working for this. Being with you is my dream, Kate, I wouldn't want to mess that up. Trust me, we will be just fine without this doctor. You have your very own doctor: Doctor Mike at your service!

I want you to be happy Kate...I truly mean that. But paying for therapy isn't going to fix all of your worries. You need to trust that we are going to make it. That this family doesn't need a diagnosis.

I love you. And I love Ally and if you just could believe in me...the way my father believed in me, I think that I could make you see that everything you could possibly need is right in front of you.
