Petra: Hey, what’s going on here? Why are all
of you here in my apartment?
Johann: Your family and close friends are here
to perform an intervention. We feel
that you have a
problem that is negatively affecting
your life and the lives of the people around
you.
Petra: An intervention?! I don’t need an
intervention. What am I supposed to be
addicted to?
Johann: I think you know. Each of us can
attest to your obsession
and the
consequences of that addiction. It is
interfering with your work and your
personal relationships.
Petra: No, it’s not. I can’t believe this. I feel
cornered!
Johann: We just want to help you. We all agree
that you need to see a therapist and
maybe go into
treatment.
Petra: You guys are all crazy. Is that an
ultimatum?
Johann: Yes, I’m afraid it is. If you don’t stop
your obsessive behavior, we’ll take that away.
Petra: What?! Take away my MP3 player? If
you take away my MP3 player, how am I
supposed to listen to ESL
Podcast?
Johann: That’s the idea. Listening to ESL
Podcast 14 hours a day is not healthy.
Petra: Okay, I know I’ve gone overboard,
but I’ll stop. I promise.
Johann: You’ll stop cold turkey?
Petra: Well...I need to be weaned off,
I think. How about if I cut back to 10
hours a day to start?
