Panel 1
Charleston, the therapist, holds the door open while Lester enters the room.
Charleston: Welcome! I'm Charleston. How about you take a seat and we'll get started?
Lester: Nice to meet ya'. Say, where's the chaise lounge?

Panel 2
Charleston and Lester stand at the entrance of Charleston's office. He has a three-seater couch and a lounge chair facing each other and a desk with a laptop in it.
Charleston: Pardon?
Lester: I thought I was supposed to get all recumbent on a chaise while you uncrazy me.

Panel 3
Charleston amused, holds his hand to his chest. Lester looks off to the side, dismissively flopping his hand around.
Charleston: Heh, no, that's an outdated psychoanalysis stereotype. Besides, I'm a social worker. Do you know what the difference is?
Lester: Yeah, absolutely.

Panel 4
A closeup of Lester's eyes as he looks up at a thought bubble. The thought bubble says PSYCHOANALYST = chaise lounge, and SOCIAL WORKER = couch.
