Psycho Zack

[Chain Gang Member]

Jack:Girls there's something wrong with Zack.
Janet:We know that.
Jack:You do?
Terri:Yeah.We can tell that he's depressed about how Cindy breaking up with him.It's perfectly natural to feel this way.
Jack:Well how about getting into a fight at the Regal Beagle?
Both:WHAT?
Jack:Yeah.He was watching a match then some drunk guy got him mad and he beat him up.
Terri:Wow.
(Zack enters)
Zack:What's going on?
Jack:I was telling Janet & Terri how you got into a bar fight last night.
Zack:So.Lots of people do.
Jack:You weren't even drunk.
Zack:So?
Jack:It would've made more sense.
Zack:What makes you think that?
Jack:Well you got in his face then started saying "Whatcha gonna do,brother?",beat him to a bloody pulp,tossed him outside,made out with his girlfriend then started singing Hulk Hogan's theme song.
Zack:Well he started it!And with the way I'm feeling right now,you wouldn't have blamed me!
Janet:Zack I think you need professional help.
Zack:Janet I've been through worse and I've never been told I need help.
Terri:Well that's probably because you've never been around people that care about you as much as we do when you had these type of problems.
Janet:I'll call Dr.Prescott and make an appointment.
Jack:Not him!I remember when you had me talk to him and I ended up barking at people
Zack: Ok I'll see this guy but hopefully I won't come back acting like a dog or some other type of animal .
(next scene)
Prescott: (to secretary)Send him in.
(Zack enters)
Zack:Hi Dr.Prescott.I'm Zack Tripper.
Prescott:Yes you're Jack's cousin.Have a seat.
Zack: Ok.(sits down)
Prescott:Why did you sit down?
Zack:You told me to.
Prescott: Do you always do everything people tell you to do?
Zack: (stands up)Jack told you'd say that?
Prescott:Well did he tell you I can get you to sit down without saying a word?
Zack:No you can't.(Prescott tries to push him,but Zack holds his arm)I told you that you couldn't.
Prescott: Mr.Tripper can you let go?You're hurting my wrist.
Zack:Sorry.I've got anger issues.
(End Of Scene)
Prescott:Is this the first time you've had this problem?
Zack:Well sort of.
Prescott:What do you mean?
Zack:Well growing up,I've always held my emotions in no matter what.I've always kept my anger inside of me.People would always make fun of me whether it was acne,Jack always getting the girls while the girls I liked always wanted to be just friends,or it was that they found out I had seizures and none of them know what it's like to go through them.I couldn't do anything about it because it wouldn't be worth getting in trouble for.
Prescott:And did these seizures ever quit?
Zack:Yeah.My Neurologist finally found the medication to stop them years ago
Prescott:So there have been no more problems?
Zack:Well before my last girlfriend,I dated her cousin and her father helped me get a job at a Nursing Home for me to work at where I took care of this one woman who had a medical problem and sometimes would insult me or slap me for no reason just because she was having a bad day
Prescott:If she was so horrible to you,why didn't you just quit?
Zack:Well because the guy helped me finally get a job to help me become a doctor and I didn't wanna let him down by quitting.Plus barely any of her relatives would see her.
Prescott:And the only time you didn't feel angry is when you were with those two girls?
Zack:Yeah.They're only ones I've ever loved and slept with?
Prescott:So after all of that pain you went through,all it took was for two girls with the same last name and slept with whou broke your heart to cause all of the rage you've had inside of you for over a decade to come out?
Zack:Yeah.I guess so.
Prescott:I have to say Mr.Tripper there's only one word to describe you.
Zack:What's that?
Prescott: Psycho.
Zack:What?
Prescott: Psycho,crazy,cuckoo,a looney tune.I can only think of one way to cure you.
Zack:What?Not bark like a dog or do any other animal sounds.Right?
Prescott:No.I don't think what I heard happened at the Regal Beagle was all that much rage.So I want you to go to the last person who really annoyed you and got under your skin then take out all of your rage on them until it's gone.
Zack:Are you sure you want me to do that?
Prescott:Yes.It's doctor's orders.
Zack:Well if you say so.
(End Of Scene)
Terri:Zack you're back.
Janet:How did it did go with Dr.Prescott?
Zack:It went great.
Jack:He actually helped?
Zack:Yeah.I don't have the rage that I had since I got dumped and I feel much better.Good thing his cure wasn't making an animal sound.It was something much more affective.Now if you excuse me,I gotta get some water(Goes into the kitchen).
Janet:I wonder what helped him.
(Phone rings)
Terri:Jack will you get that?
Jack:Sure.Hello?
Prescott:Hello Mr.Tripper.
Jack:Hi Dr.Prescott.Do you wanna talk to Zack.
Prescott:No.Just let him know I'm willing to make a deal with him and if he accepts it,he won't have to pay the bill.
Jack:I'm sure he'd be glad to.What is it?
Prescott:To take the week off from work and to never come to my office again.
Jack:Why?
Precott: (shows him in a body cast and a nurse holding the phone for him)Because thanks to him beating me up,putting me in a sleeper hold and throwing me out the door,I'm in a body cast and in the hospital where he works.Plus after what he & my secretary did on my desk,she feels like she'll never be the same again.

Seriously Zack should have been a real character in the show. He would have fit right in.
