Katz gets a new phone system at the office with all kinds of great features, supposedly. He has Ben call it, but finds that calls are being forwarded to Laura's house.
Dr. Katz makes the following statement: "I have to tell you, I've only used hypnosis on two other occasions, as a therapist, and I'm not proud of either of them. So, I mean, it's really your call."
However, as an ethical therapist, and an "expert," it is Dr. Katz's call, not the client's. If Dr. Katz feels unqualified to do hypnosis, he should refer the client to someone qualified.

Dr. Katz: Ben used to think, when Roz and I said 'the line was busy', when he was a little guy, he used to think we were saying 'the lion was busy.' He was so stupid.

(Laura has been calling Prague from the office)Dr. Katz: I just wanna go back, just for one second, to this Prague issue. Because, I wanna make sure -- it would comfort me -- to know that these calls were business related. That's what I'm assuming.
Laura: Well then, they were.

Dr. Katz: If you pay attention to your right foot, you can feel the muscles in it relax. Feel the muscles in your right lower leg relax. The right upper leg is now relaxing. Now on the left side, concentrate on the way that your left foot is relaxing. The left leg ...
David: Can I step in for a second, Doc? Is there a difference between relaxing and getting bored out of your mind?
Dr. Katz: I think getting bored is part of the process.
David: Okay, I'm with you then.
(continued)Dr. Katz: Next, you'll be able to feel the muscles of your right hand relaxing. The right lower arm and the right upper arm relaxing. Did I do... I did your left leg, right?
David: I think so, I'm not sure.
Dr. Katz: I should really have a check list here.
David: Are you planning to bill me for this session?
