[If there's one thing that Jeff's generally good at it's appealing to the masses. In the past he's managed to win virtually unwinnable cases just by charm, persuasion and just a touch of manipulation. His knowledge of law may be lacking, but his way of twisting words certainly isn't, and he can only hope to have the same success here. Trying to be the good guy in law hadn't worked out for him, he'd tried the nice guy, pro bono approach and it virtually bankrupt him. Nice guys came last in a game like law and in a place like this, with a new start and no friends holding him back with nice guy guilt, he could be unstoppable. Insert maniacal laughter here...]
Hah. And here I thought you meant the way we manipulate and make people reliant on us.
[Slow, smug sip. He doesn't seem to mind the comparison at all, but then again Jeff's under no belief that lawyers are good people. And psychiatrists? Well, psychiatrists get people paying money for emotions. That's pretty fucked up in his eyes.]
I'd never really considered it, no. Then again, the only other therapist I know is an anarchistic high school drop out who doesn't know her id from her egos.
