Two women on the downtown 2 train near 14th Street.
Woman #1: Therapy was very, very good. Cathartic, you could say.
Woman #2 (checking her makeup in a Chanel compact): Really? Hmm, okay.
#1: Yes. We are making some progress on my core issues.
#2 (slowly applying lipstick): Mmm.
#1: My therapist calls it a narcissitic complex. Basically, I tend to think everyone and everything revolves around me. Silly, right?
#2 (finishing her lipstick and closing compact): Of course it’s silly. It revolves around me.
