Doctor Coleman: …your mother.
Carmen: (chuckles) Last time, my mother wanted to throw her a bucketful of water…
Doctor Coleman: Was she mad at Shane?
Carmen: Well, I think she is still mad at her, yeah. Because of what happened in Whistler.
Doctor Coleman: She felt humiliated by Shane’s behavior.
Carmen: Yes, she thinks –

Carmen: …she didn’t bite my head off when I told her than I and Shane were back together, though.
Doctor Coleman: In your opinion, how does your mother feel about Shane?
Carmen: I am sure she loves her very much. I know she is mad at her, but Shane isn’t someone who can be really hated. She really has a golden heart.
Doctor Coleman: It is bizarre. You’re telling me that the person who left you at the altar has a golden heart.
Carmen: (chuckles) It is bizarre, yes. But it’s true.

Doctor Coleman: …a sex addiction?
Carmen: (Long pause) I haven’t ever really thought about that.
Doctor Coleman: Do you think she needs therapy?
Carmen: …I don’t really know. Maybe. I think there are black holes inside Shane’s soul. Holes that undermine her self-esteem and that alter her perception of things, sometimes.

Doctor Coleman: …jealous?
Carmen: (chuckles) Shane is very jealous. She would never outwardly admit it, though.
Doctor Coleman: Why?
Carmen: Because jealousy is a human weakness that she doesn’t want to show.
Doctor Coleman: Do you think Shane is a weak person?
Carmen: Not really. I think she just underestimates herself.

Doctor Coleman: …last encounter went?
Carmen: Well, I followed your advice and decided to see her. So I called her and we met.
Doctor Coleman: Did you have sex?
Carmen: Yes… In her car.
Doctor Coleman: Elaborate more.
Carmen: (sighs) The chemistry between us never vanished. Never. Despite those three years apart, we are still connected like the very first day. But now we’re talking more.
Doctor Coleman: Do you guys talk while you’re having sex?
Carmen: We talk inside and outside the bed. But lately, when we are making love, we denude ourselves in a very deep, profound way. We let it all hang out. It’s magic, spellbounding. We don’t pack the defence anymore, our defensive building fall, and we say whatever comes to our mind.
Doctor Coleman: So now you’re using sex in a very different way…
Carmen: In some ways, we do. But we are not exactly using sex. We are using love.
