In this table, the "mean" means the empirically measured average funniness score when the "unfunny", "somewhat funny" and "funny" receive a funniness score of 1, 2, 3 respectively. "Precison" is the standard error of the mean, the standard deviation of the mean estimate. With that, a caption with an empirical mean μ and precision σ has true mean in the range [μ - 2σ, μ + 2σ] with 95% probability by the 68-95-99.7 rule assuming the responses are indepedent and identically distributed.

155 Nevertheless, it's a breakthrough 1.4821 0.04140 280 177 71 32
156 So, how can I help? 1.4812 0.04334 266 171 62 33
157 Well, I’m not surprised to see you two here considering how you met. 1.4799 0.04011 298 189 75 34
158 Discuss what? 1.4799 0.04313 273 177 61 35
159 Fay, so what brings you in here today? 1.4792 0.04313 265 170 63 32
160 ...and is he in the room with us right now? 1.4786 0.04515 257 169 53 35
161 I sorta got used to the elephant…. 1.4786 0.04201 257 160 71 26
162 While your DNA is 98 percent similar, there are other limiting factors. 1.4779 0.04447 249 160 59 30
163 Makes me wonder about our sperm donor. 1.4776 0.04561 268 181 46 41
164 What gorilla? 1.4741 0.04229 232 141 72 19
165 So you’re saying he takes up too much space in the relationship. 1.4739 0.04446 249 161 58 30
166 So what brings you to therapy, Mr. and Mrs. Kong? 1.4733 0.04481 262 174 52 36
167 How would the two of you feel about holding our next session in the park? 1.4730 0.04242 241 149 70 22
168 According to your husband, he feels he has outgrown you. 1.4730 0.04323 241 151 66 24
169 Let's talk about that. Can you give me an example of how you sometimes don't see eye to eye? 1.4723 0.04109 271 171 72 28
170 What 800lb gorilla? 1.4719 0.04417 267 177 54 36
171 I have nothing against 800-pound gorillas, but that hole is for the elephant in the room. 1.4719 0.04016 267 165 78 24
172 Well I think we've had a breakthrough. 1.4719 0.04372 231 144 65 22
173 I think we had a breakthrough. 1.4703 0.04429 236 150 61 25
174 Well, look at it this way - it's not an elephant. 1.4699 0.04335 249 159 63 27
175 What I'm hearing is that your relationship needs to evolve. 1.4684 0.04415 237 151 61 25
176 And we’ve stopped having sex. 1.4678 0.04866 233 159 39 35
177 Your first date was at the top of the Empire State Building? Go on... 1.4672 0.04585 259 176 45 38
178 I can see you need a SHRINK! 1.4667 0.04492 240 156 56 28
179 Yes, but calling him a '"big ape" is hurtful. 1.4667 0.04128 240 147 74 19
180 Actually, primal grunting is how many men express their feelings. 1.4661 0.04418 251 164 57 30
181 This problem is bigger than both of us. 1.4652 0.04797 230 155 43 32
182 Now that it’s off your back, can you help me get it off my couch? 1.4649 0.04749 228 152 46 30
183 Frankly, I was an awful lot happier with the elephant. 1.4640 0.04283 250 160 64 26
184 Mrs Philips, I don’t think you fully understand your husband’s need for space. 1.4638 0.04522 235 153 55 27
185 Should we call law enforcement, animal control, or Universal Studios? 1.4638 0.04833 235 161 39 35
186 When I suggested getting an emotional support animal I meant a dog. 1.4637 0.04346 248 160 61 27
187 So I think I see the problem. 1.4615 0.04454 234 151 58 25
188 Well for starters he's always stealing the covers. 1.4608 0.04843 217 145 44 28
189 I think he’s seeing someone else. 1.4598 0.04599 224 146 53 25
190 I just feel like his head is in a different place lately. 1.4598 0.04421 224 142 61 21
191 Let’s consider fostering a puppy next time. 1.4596 0.04439 235 152 58 25
192 So now you're asserting that size does matter. 1.4593 0.04519 246 164 51 31
193 Bobby's behind academically but he's doing very well on the football team. 1.4592 0.04467 233 151 57 25
194 Just when we got rid of the elephant in the room. 1.4591 0.04615 220 143 53 24
195 I feel like we’ve run out of things to not talk about. 1.4587 0.04345 242 156 61 25
196 You simply must accept the fact that most days are unlikely to be as dramatic and exciting as your first date on top of the Empire State Building. 1.4575 0.04695 212 138 51 23
197 Please close your legs, sir. 1.4569 0.04917 232 162 34 36
198 Did you consider any smaller emotional support animals, Janice? 1.4564 0.04589 241 162 48 31
199 If the 300 lb gorilla is only partially in the room, do we really need to address it? 1.4561 0.04261 239 152 65 22
200 Should we tell him that he was adopted? 1.4545 0.04574 242 163 48 31
201 Let’s return to how you met. 1.4545 0.04646 209 135 53 21
202 Now that the monkey is off your back, let’s see if we can get him off my couch. 1.4538 0.04440 249 166 53 30
203 We’ll this time you didn’t exaggerate the problem. 1.4521 0.04673 219 145 49 25
204 Tell me, Beth. Is this ‘Giant’ in the room with us right now? 1.4519 0.04808 208 138 46 24
205 What I hear him saying is that he needs space. 1.4516 0.04705 217 144 48 25
206 Yex, but I am quite sure she was not being derogatory when she called you a "big ape". 1.4511 0.04268 235 150 64 21
207 Can we at least address the 800-pound gorilla in the room? 1.4511 0.04394 235 153 58 24
208 I recognize that you are already here and I understand that this wasn't explicitly stated, but pants are mandatory for all sessions. 1.4510 0.04927 204 137 42 25
209 Joanne, share with Ralph how it made you feel when you found out he was a swinger. 1.4510 0.04927 204 137 42 25
210 Well, let's focus on the genomes you do have in common. 1.4493 0.04470 207 131 59 17
211 Being whisked off to the Empire State Building is great, but I believe she's saying small things like flowers and cards are nice too. 1.4483 0.04742 203 133 49 21
212 Mrs. Kong says you have trouble respecting boundaries. 1.4481 0.04432 241 160 54 27
213 Something tells me his lack of empathy, may be the least of your issues... 1.4478 0.04289 230 147 63 20
214 And how do you feel when she tells you that you have a big head ? 1.4476 0.04819 210 141 44 25
215 Great,what do we do now? At least the elephant was IN the room. 1.4476 0.04771 210 140 46 24
216 So Jane Goodall is your thesis advisor. 1.4473 0.04487 237 158 52 27
217 I told you. Adoption is a slippery slope. 1.4472 0.04540 199 126 57 16
218 Yep — I see how sex might be a problem. 1.4472 0.04811 199 131 47 21
219 It’s time we addressed the gorilla that sat on the elephant in the room 1.4472 0.04650 199 128 53 18
220 Well son, your mother and I think it’s time we had the talk. 1.4471 0.04608 208 135 53 20
221 This might be amusing if I weren’t staring directly at his genitalia! 1.4470 0.04611 217 143 51 23
222 How do you respond to Carla's claim that you tend to be overbearing 1.4466 0.04840 206 138 44 24
223 and this 800 lb gorilla... Is he in the room with us right now? 1.4463 0.04339 242 159 58 25
224 Besides the age difference, are there any other compatibility issues? 1.4461 0.04775 204 135 47 22
225 How is it that no one mentions the blonde in the room? 1.4450 0.04591 209 136 53 20
226 Coming here today was a big step. 1.4440 0.04432 232 153 55 24
227 I’m thinking next week we should go back to Zoom 1.4439 0.04603 205 133 53 19
228 As you prescribed, we started with the hair growth shampoo followed by the testosterone and everything was fine until we got our first banana bill. 1.4439 0.04863 196 130 45 21
229 What exactly makes you feel your differences are irreconcilable? 1.4435 0.04417 239 159 54 26
230 So maybe we should talk about the 3,000 pound gorilla in the room. 1.4435 0.04544 230 154 50 26
231 Well, now the upstairs neighbors have to feed him. 1.4429 0.04816 210 142 43 25
232 I see now. He LITERALLY has you in the palm of his hand. 1.4422 0.04912 199 134 42 23
233 ‘For me Doc, it’s the nail clippings.’ 1.4419 0.04823 215 147 41 27
234 And this happens every time you ask him to be an animal in bed?? 1.4407 0.04537 236 160 48 28
235 So I hear you saying that size DOES matter! 1.4404 0.04861 193 128 45 20
236 I see your husband has already been vaccinated against monkey pox! 1.4404 0.04727 218 148 44 26
237 So as I understand the problem, you want him to grunt less, and he wants you to grunt more? 1.4393 0.04884 214 148 38 28
238 When did you first notice you had different needs? 1.4389 0.04499 221 146 53 22
239 You know, forgetting to lower the toilet seat is an issue that I hear quite often. 1.4384 0.04736 203 135 47 21
240 First let's work on resolving your religious differences." 1.4384 0.04620 219 147 48 24
241 This is the only downside to having my office in the Empire State Building. 1.4368 0.05027 190 129 39 22
242 You say that you've outgrown her. Let's explore that feeling." 1.4365 0.04621 197 128 52 17
243 Oh, I thought you wanted to discuss your prime mate. 1.4365 0.05050 197 136 36 25
244 To be honest, I preferred not talking about the elephant. 1.4363 0.04666 204 135 49 20
245 I don't need him to climb a building for me, but flowers every now and then would be nice 1.4360 0.04554 211 139 52 20
246 Let's focus on what is working in the relationship? 1.4358 0.04754 179 115 50 14
247 So Faye, what seems to be the problem? 1.4355 0.05049 186 126 39 21
248 It’s time we address the 135 lb. woman in the room… 1.4343 0.04978 198 136 38 24
249 But as your father I think I have a right to ask. Is he Catholic? 1.4341 0.05305 182 127 31 24
250 On the bright side, he’s not on your back. 1.4337 0.04692 196 129 49 18
251 Sometimes size does matter 1.4330 0.04782 194 129 46 19
252 Have you tried separate beds? 1.4328 0.04870 201 137 41 23
253 So...what do you think is the biggest issue in your relationship? 1.4324 0.05125 185 127 36 22
254 Let’s go back to when you thought of him as king and not just a big ape. 1.4323 0.04818 192 128 45 19
255 Define 'irreconcilable.' 1.4314 0.04663 204 136 48 20
256 It's just that . . . well, we've grown apart. 1.4308 0.04417 195 124 58 13
257 ‘Oh, you meant literally.. literally’ 1.4308 0.04873 195 132 42 21
258 We've had a real breakthrough today. 1.4301 0.04929 186 125 42 19
259 I realize this is awkward Miss Dunaway. But it turns out that Mr. Kong's therapist is in the office above us. 1.4299 0.04552 214 143 50 21
260 Sometimes the gorilla in the room is just the gorilla in the room. 1.4294 0.05173 177 121 36 20
261 It's not permanent. I'm just fostering him until he finds his forever home. 1.4294 0.05111 177 120 38 19
262 It seems the issue in the room is bigger than we thought. 1.4293 0.04543 198 129 53 16
263 Of course he becomes angry at any mention of the Empire State Building. Haven’t you seen the movie about his grandfather? 1.4286 0.04572 203 134 51 18
264 It's not an elephant but we still should just ignore it. 1.4286 0.04744 196 131 46 19
265 What 800-pound gorilla? 1.4278 0.05345 180 127 29 24
266 Maybe you just need to give him more space. 1.4262 0.04674 183 119 50 14
267 So Mr and Mrs Kong, can you tell me what brings you here today? 1.4244 0.04843 205 142 39 24
268 There will, of course, be a pet deposit. 1.4242 0.04705 198 133 46 19
269 He just doesn’t hold me like he used to 1.4242 0.05804 132 89 30 13
270 Tell me more about this feeling of not fitting in. 1.4241 0.05053 191 133 35 23
271 Did they tell you at the shelter he would grow to be this big? 1.4235 0.04513 196 128 53 15
272 But you knew this when you married him. 1.4231 0.05181 182 127 33 22
273 Tell the people upstairs to stop feeding him cabbage. 1.4229 0.05212 175 121 34 20
274 And how do you feel when he says he's outgrown your relationship? 1.4227 0.04774 194 131 44 19
275 I know we didn't talk about it,but I still think the elephant was a better fit. 1.4222 0.04917 180 121 42 17
276 Let's just pretend it's an elephant and then we can ignore it. 1.4211 0.05102 171 116 38 17
277 No one is saying you can't be the bigger man 1.4208 0.04528 202 134 51 17
278 Actually, we were expecting an elephant. 1.4207 0.05116 164 110 39 15
279 Have you noticed his body language? He’s just not fully present for our session. 1.4202 0.04764 188 126 45 17
280 Fortunately, my colleague upstairs is also a marriage counselor. 1.4202 0.05054 188 131 35 22
281 Tell me more about why you feel he gets all the attention. 1.4199 0.04896 181 122 42 17
282 Can you be more specific about why you feel mismatched? 1.4192 0.04646 198 133 47 18
283 I suppose we should start with the gorilla in the room. 1.4186 0.04943 172 115 42 15
284 So tell me, how has the transition to city life impacted your relationship?” 1.4184 0.04735 196 133 44 19
285 When you said that your Husband was a ‘Big Ape’, I thought you were kidding!! 1.4179 0.04486 201 133 52 16
286 So, what brings you here? 1.4176 0.04812 182 122 44 16
287 I just want him to fit in. 1.4172 0.05208 163 111 36 16
288 He stands head and shoulders over the others we've interviewed. 1.4162 0.04936 185 127 39 19
289 I assumed you were speaking metaphorically... 1.4162 0.05054 185 129 35 21
290 Princess, I had warned you. You just cannot trust the information on those dating apps. 1.4158 0.04841 190 130 41 19
291 Wow, have you been in any films I'd know? 1.4153 0.05035 183 127 36 20
292 While you’re shattering the glass ceiling, he’s shattering all the other ones. 1.4153 0.04728 183 122 46 15
293 First off, at our next session please wear pants. 1.4150 0.04976 200 142 33 25
294 We should have asked how big he was going to get 1.4149 0.04936 188 130 38 20
295 We just haven’t been seeing eye to eye 1.4149 0.04577 188 124 50 14
296 Maybe we should go back to Zoom meetings. 1.4145 0.04671 193 130 46 17
297 In what way are you incompatible? 1.4144 0.04953 181 124 39 18
298 Son, we think it’s finally time that you moved out… 1.4140 0.04974 186 129 37 20
299 they grow up in front of your eyes 1.4134 0.05297 179 128 28 23
300 The elephant couldn't make it today? 1.4133 0.04730 196 134 43 19
301 Let's just make believe he's not in the room, and talk this through. 1.4133 0.04619 196 132 47 17
302 I believe we’ve had a breakthrough. 1.4132 0.04748 167 109 47 11
303 And what makes you think his head is always somewhere else? 1.4129 0.04751 201 139 41 21
304 I'm convinced he is seeing the woman upstairs! 1.4127 0.05138 189 135 30 24
305 Your wife thinks your a monster. How does that make you feel? 1.4124 0.04876 194 135 38 21
306 I'm sorry, but chest-beating simply doesn't address the intimacy issue problem. 1.4118 0.05449 153 106 31 16
307 Well Mrs. Kong, I feel you should have known it wouldn’t work, from your first date. 1.4118 0.04835 187 128 41 18
308 And you find that his head is in another place during these conversations? 1.4118 0.05250 170 119 32 19
309 This just isn’t a good fit. 1.4115 0.04616 209 144 44 21
310 I think it’s about time we addressed the 800 pound gorilla in the room. 1.4114 0.05008 175 120 38 17
311 I believe it's time we talked about the 600-lb. gorilla in the room. 1.4111 0.05093 180 126 34 20
312 We have to go, King has a plane to catch. 1.4105 0.04893 190 132 38 20
313 I'm finally beginning to understand the size of your problem. 1.4105 0.04600 190 127 48 15
314 Please make sure he uses the guest bathroom. 1.4098 0.04909 183 126 39 18
315 Well, at least we don’t have to talk about the elephant in the room. 1.4091 0.04985 176 121 38 17
316 I'm sorry, our time is up. 1.4091 0.05650 154 110 25 19
317 I’m seeing a huge breakthrough. 1.4089 0.04391 203 135 53 15
318 The elephant’s on vacation 1.4088 0.04822 181 123 42 16
319 Other than the sex, what interests did the two of you have in common? 1.4088 0.05190 181 129 30 22
320 You have a keen sense of the obvious. 1.4085 0.05030 164 111 39 14
321 Let’s begin today with why you feel like he’s smothering you. 1.4078 0.04593 179 118 49 12
322 Well,at least we don't have to worry about the elephant in the room. 1.4078 0.05049 179 125 35 19
323 You knew that eventually she’d stop calling you ‘King’, right 1.4076 0.05266 157 108 34 15
324 I think we've made a breakthrough. 1.4074 0.04614 189 127 47 15
325 But she doesn’t want to be saved, Kong — she wants to be seen. 1.4072 0.04871 194 136 37 21
326 Not to be pedantic, but the gorilla is also half out of the room. 1.4072 0.04760 194 134 41 19
327 Wasn't what I expected for my "Adopt a Gorilla for just $19.99 a month, 67 cents a day." 1.4072 0.05449 167 120 26 21
328 I’m tired of his needs outweighing mine. 1.4072 0.04817 167 111 44 12
329 Well, I think we had a big breakthrough today. 1.4070 0.05067 172 119 36 17
330 Not all side effects of Monkey Pox are known yet. 1.4066 0.05047 182 128 34 20
331 The box said... Sea Monkey, just add water! So I did. 1.4066 0.05166 182 130 30 22
332 The elephant already had plans. 1.4061 0.05498 165 119 25 21
333 I think you've had a real breakthrough today. 1.4057 0.04801 175 118 43 14
334 Just when did you start thinking your mother is not your mother? 1.4049 0.05048 163 111 38 14
335 So, I'm guessing the elephant couldn't make it 1.4048 0.05012 168 115 38 15
336 Doctor, we just don't see eye to eye anymore. 1.4045 0.05251 178 128 28 22
337 So the monkey’s off my back but how much do I owe you for the ceiling? 1.4045 0.04940 178 123 38 17
338 I told you it was risky to buy an apartment in the Empire State Building. 1.4044 0.05142 183 131 30 22
339 I knew getting an apartment on the 99th floor of the Empire State building was a risk. 1.4040 0.05330 151 104 33 14
340 Now you’re saying size DOES matter? 1.4038 0.05286 156 108 33 15
341 We just no longer see eye to eye, doctor. 1.4031 0.04867 191 134 37 20
342 This is just so much bigger than a monkey on your back 1.4023 0.05019 174 121 36 17
343 Let's start at the beginning. How did you two meet? 1.4022 0.04758 184 126 42 16
344 Well, it is not an elephant, but it is still in the room. 1.4000 0.05516 150 106 28 16
345 So you're saying it's the little things he can't handle? 1.4000 0.05034 170 118 36 16
346 Yeah, wherever he wants. 1.4000 0.05676 150 108 24 18
347 It feels like he’s always somewhere else. 1.4000 0.04702 200 140 40 20
348 I think I liked the elephant better 1.4000 0.04514 205 141 46 18
349 I understand that you love him, Fay, but I'm not sure you have thought this thing through. 1.4000 0.04822 170 115 42 13
350 Do you mind if we start with the obvious? 1.3988 0.05145 168 118 33 17
351 I wish it was an elephant in the room 1.3987 0.05308 158 111 31 16
352 And he leaves the seat up! 1.3986 0.05448 143 99 31 13
353 Right now, the two of you simply can't be in the same room together. 1.3986 0.05170 143 96 37 10
354 I guess an 800 lb. gorilla really can sit wherever it wants to. 1.3978 0.04997 181 128 34 19
355 When did you first realize that the marriage wasn't working, Mrs. Kong? 1.3976 0.05047 166 115 36 15
356 I thought we agreed to talk about the elephant first. 1.3974 0.05278 156 109 32 15
357 I told him we would outgrow this apartment but he refused to move. 1.3966 0.04946 174 121 37 16
358 Well that's just the thing, we can't keep renting every apartment above us. 1.3966 0.04878 174 120 39 15
359 I know he swept you off your feet,but relationships can't survive on pure animal lust forever. 1.3966 0.04810 174 119 41 14
360 Now that we've addressed the elephant in the room, I'd like to raise another concern. 1.3952 0.04802 167 113 42 12
361 So does anyone want to talk about this? 1.3949 0.04930 157 106 40 11
362 Remember the Smiths, upstairs? Looks like they finally sold their apartment. 1.3947 0.05294 152 106 32 14
363 Next time try saying what ‘me feel’ rather than what ‘me want’ 1.3947 0.05535 152 109 26 17
364 Yunno, the term 'shrink' is just a nickname. I can't physically make your husband smaller. 1.3939 0.05417 165 120 25 20
365 Since he's not an elephant, I guess we CAN talk about him. 1.3938 0.04648 193 134 42 17
366 I knew Jane Goodall. You're no Jane Goodall. 1.3933 0.04729 178 122 42 14
367 Well, Mrs. Kong, I think you were right that we should do our joint sessions by video. 1.3931 0.05030 173 122 34 17
368 On the whole, I preferred the elephant. 1.3918 0.04646 171 115 45 11
369 It's time you knew, son, I'm not your real father. 1.3916 0.05348 143 99 32 12
370 Elephant, what elephant? 1.3915 0.04775 189 133 38 18
371 Dear,just saying the elephant in the room is a better fit. 1.3911 0.04774 179 124 40 15
372 It's not the break-through we were hoping for, but let's meet again on Friday." 1.3910 0.05270 156 110 31 15
373 I'm looking for an old house upstate, with high ceilings. 1.3899 0.05040 159 110 36 13
374 Well, at least it's not roaches. 1.3899 0.04629 159 105 46 8
375 Certainly you knew his movie career would keep him away from home for long periods of time, 1.3892 0.05014 167 117 35 15
376 Today’s appointment was a real breakthrough. 1.3892 0.04312 203 138 51 14
377 I know it's silly...but just go ahead and give him the remote, okay? 1.3889 0.05408 144 101 30 13
378 You knew he was a monster when you married him. 1.3889 0.05036 144 97 38 9
379 Can you understand why she feels insignificant? 1.3889 0.05671 144 104 24 16
380 The Elephant was much less obvious. 1.3886 0.04848 175 122 38 15
381 Face it Ann, island romances never last. 1.3882 0.05605 152 111 23 18
382 So your main objection is that he always leaves the seat up? 1.3873 0.05815 142 104 21 17
383 Ann, I love our son, but is there something you didn't tell me about your time in the jungle with Kong? 1.3869 0.04990 168 118 35 15
384 Who would you say was the alpha in the relationship? 1.3867 0.04859 181 128 36 17
385 It sounds like your primary frustration is your husband's inability to communicate, while your husband is tired of not being able to take you out in public without people shooting at him from planes. 1.3867 0.05417 150 107 28 15
386 Usually, I ask my patients to talk about the elephant in the room, but its best to be flexible. 1.3862 0.05287 145 101 32 12
387 All I'm saying is that he should consider getting his own place. 1.3862 0.05196 145 100 34 11
388 So, what brings the two of you here today? 1.3857 0.05607 140 100 26 14
389 He goes ape over every little argument! 1.3856 0.05005 153 105 37 11
390 He doesn't see me anymore. 1.3856 0.05174 153 107 33 13
391 Well, ‘shrink’ is more of a name than something I am capable of doing…. 1.3855 0.05103 166 118 32 16
392 So,who would like to start and tell me why we were are here today? 1.3855 0.04897 179 127 35 17
393 Pretending he isn't in the room dosn't work. 1.3851 0.05468 148 106 27 15
394 I doubt that the couples therapy can move forward when one of you consistently behaves like an animal. 1.3851 0.05066 161 113 34 14
395 Actually, as a psychologist, I'm more used to discussing the elephant in the room. 1.3851 0.05143 161 114 32 15
396 So lets talk about this kidnapping to the top of the empire state building incident, does this make you feel objectified? 1.3851 0.05217 161 115 30 16
397 So Ms Goodall, what leads you to believe your husband is ignoring you? 1.3846 0.05036 169 120 33 16
398 Actually,I think the first thing we need to acknowledge the gigantic hole in the ceiling. 1.3846 0.05174 169 122 29 18
399 Mr and Mrs Kong, I'd like to welcome you to the witness protection program. 1.3846 0.05261 156 111 30 15
400 Any in-law issues? 1.3841 0.05304 151 107 30 14
401 To be honest, he's not actually in the room. 1.3837 0.04689 172 118 42 12
402 I see what you like about him. Next time he should wear pants. 1.3836 0.05339 159 115 27 17
403 Isn't it time we address the 800 lb Gorilla in the room? 1.3836 0.04788 159 108 41 10
404 How does it make you feel that Ann refuses to call you 'king' any longer? 1.3836 0.04952 159 110 37 12
405 Whatever you do, don't say b-a-n-a-n-a 1.3836 0.05167 146 101 34 11
406 Am I correct to assume you're still having trouble with the power dynamic? 1.3835 0.05088 133 89 37 7
407 I'm sitting in for the elephant. 1.3831 0.05388 154 111 27 16
408 I guess they will keep the T.V volume down now. 1.3827 0.04964 162 113 36 13
409 I keep telling him that size DOES matter! 1.3826 0.05181 149 104 33 12
410 Hold on a minute. Your husband flung what at you? 1.3824 0.05817 136 99 22 15
411 At times,we all have trouble fitting in. 1.3822 0.04742 157 106 42 9
412 When did you first realize you had grown apart? 1.3818 0.05120 165 118 31 16
413 So, what's the problem here? 1.3817 0.05882 131 95 22 14
414 So you met on a movie set…tell me more… 1.3817 0.05981 131 96 20 15
415 so,you say every time you enter a room,he grabs all the attention 1.3816 0.05275 152 108 30 14
416 When did you first start to feel your husband looks down on you? 1.3816 0.05107 152 106 34 12
417 This used to be Fay Wray's apartment. 1.3810 0.04762 168 116 40 12
418 Ann's perfectly capable of using the stairs. She doesn't need you to carry her up the side of the building. 1.3810 0.05317 147 104 30 13
419 At the shelter they said he would not get bigger than 40 lbs. 1.3810 0.05948 126 91 22 13
420 Besides the height, what attracted you to him? 1.3810 0.04762 147 98 42 7
421 He just went through the roof when I told him I didn’t want to be a mother. 1.3800 0.05153 150 105 33 12
422 When you said your husband was a gorilla, I was thinking more metaphorically… 1.3797 0.04968 158 110 36 12
423 This is more than just the gorilla in the room, dear. 1.3789 0.04902 161 112 37 12
424 What do you think he is telling the people upstairs? 1.3786 0.05596 140 101 25 14
425 Ann, your mother and I want to support your decision. And we like you, King. We do. We’re just worried about how you’ll do financially. And about Mothra. 1.3784 0.05287 148 105 30 13
426 I can appreciate your love for the arts, but city living isn't ideal for everyone. 1.3776 0.05418 143 102 28 13
427 And how does his destructive behavior make you feel? 1.3776 0.05326 143 101 30 12
428 Actually,there are some sexual issues 1.3768 0.05558 138 99 26 13
429 Ignore it. 1.3767 0.05156 146 102 33 11
430 Our time is up, but I feel we still have one more thing to address. 1.3759 0.05185 141 98 33 10
431 He’s not feeling seen. 1.3758 0.04658 165 113 42 10
432 And how does her screaming make you feel? 1.3750 0.05011 152 106 35 11
433 ...little things you never noticed before begin to bug you. 1.3750 0.05296 144 102 30 12
434 No, YOU tell him he’s overstayed his welcome. 1.3750 0.05387 144 103 28 13
435 You didn’t have to bring him home, Faye! 1.3750 0.05564 144 105 24 15
436 No, he eventually got over losing to Godzilla; it’s this monkeypox thing that has him really embarrassed. 1.3750 0.05347 152 110 27 15
437 It's like his head is always somewhere else. 1.3750 0.04827 168 118 37 13
438 I don't care if you can sit wherever you want, you're paying for that couch. 1.3742 0.05155 163 118 29 16
439 The worst thing is when they play music upstairs and he starts tapping his foot. 1.3741 0.05801 139 103 20 16
440 I saw him on that building and asked if he wanted to discuss his anger issues in a session. I didn't think he'd actually come! 1.3740 0.06043 123 90 20 13
441 It certainly looks adequate from here. 1.3740 0.05702 123 87 26 10
442 Where do YOU think there is room for growth? 1.3740 0.05464 123 85 30 8
443 No--YOU tell him. 1.3735 0.04866 166 117 36 13
444 I'm tired of the monkey business 1.3733 0.05560 150 111 22 17
445 Well, according to the Republicans we simply have a mental health crisis.” 1.3733 0.05640 150 112 20 18
446 Whenever I talk to him, it feels like he's in another room. 1.3731 0.05770 134 98 22 14
447 I'm sorry John, but there's something I have to tell you. 1.3730 0.05826 126 91 23 12
448 When you call him a big fat ape, do you say that affectionately? 1.3725 0.05069 153 108 33 12
449 Stop feeding him. 1.3725 0.04718 153 104 41 8
450 I thought he came with you! 1.3725 0.05236 153 110 29 14
451 Glad to see you've moved on from the elephant in the room. 1.3718 0.05242 156 113 28 15
452 Our co-op only allows lesser primates. 1.3714 0.05301 140 99 30 11
453 I see you have a big chimp on your shoulder. Want to tell me what it’s about? 1.3709 0.04938 151 105 36 10
454 Let's begin by talking about the 800 pound gorilla in the room. 1.3704 0.05437 135 96 28 11
455 oh, about 3 or 4 sofas a month 1.3704 0.04707 162 112 40 10
456 Sooo, if you didn't take the elevator...? 1.3701 0.05679 127 91 25 11
457 Well, Ms. Wray, when you mentioned over the phone that this relationship had huge obstacles to overcome, I didn't quite appreciate the magnitude of the problems you are facing. 1.3699 0.05235 146 104 30 12
458 Things seem out of balance between you two. 1.3699 0.05052 146 102 34 10
459 I told him it was time to stop beating his chest and give couples’ therapy a try. 1.3697 0.05451 119 82 30 7
460 I have a bad feeling about our trip to New York. 1.3692 0.05138 130 89 34 7
461 He seems to feel that he's outgrown you. 1.3692 0.05583 130 93 26 11
462 Was there ever a time when you felt you saw eye-to-eye? 1.3692 0.05365 130 91 30 9
463 The elephant had another commitment, so he's filling in. 1.3681 0.05191 144 102 31 11
464 It seems like you're having trouble seeing eye-to-eye on things. 1.3677 0.04931 155 109 35 11
465 If I'm hearing you correctly, Mr. Kong, you're saying that you feel you've outgrown this relationship. Ms. Darrow, how does that make you feel? 1.3676 0.05504 136 98 26 12
466 He has to WANT to stop flinging his poop. 1.3673 0.05468 147 108 24 15
467 I’m so sorry, this monkey pox has some weird sudden symptoms 1.3672 0.05642 128 92 25 11
468 I guess we should go up stairs to say hello. 1.3671 0.04696 158 109 40 9
469 When I first brought him home, he was only 800 pounds. 1.3669 0.05017 139 96 35 8
470 Every time we come here he has a breakthrough. 1.3664 0.05441 131 93 28 10
471 Your making significant progress, you got the huge monkey off your back! 1.3662 0.05334 142 102 28 12
472 He’s shown growth but not in the way I anticipated. 1.3662 0.05239 142 101 30 11
473 I'm starting to understand why you feel his head isn't in the game. 1.3660 0.04885 153 107 36 10
474 What brings you in today? 1.3657 0.05354 134 95 29 10
475 When you said eight hundred pound gorilla... 1.3655 0.05162 145 103 31 11
476 Where did you and Mr. Kong meet? 1.3650 0.05663 137 101 22 14
477 Ten years in, everyday is not going to feel all empire state building and swooping planes. 1.3650 0.05167 137 96 32 9
478 So, Gloria, tell me more about your feelings of not being ‘seen’ in this relationship’” 1.3650 0.05470 137 99 26 12
479 So, what I am hearing is that screaming and swatting at biplanes isn’t getting to the root of the conflict. 1.3650 0.05371 137 98 28 11
480 May I ask about your love life? 1.3643 0.05496 129 92 27 10
481 Who’d have guessed that the elephant in the room would be an 800 pound gorilla? 1.3643 0.05090 140 98 33 9

580 In retrospect the elephant in the room was better. 1.3445 0.05778 119 88 21 10
581 Oh, you mean he literally gives you no room in your relationship. 1.3443 0.05554 122 89 24 9
582 If we are going to make any progress, you must admit there is a 115-pound woman in the room 1.3443 0.05793 122 91 20 11
583 It isn't exactly an elephant in the room. 1.3443 0.05175 122 86 30 6
584 I told him not to use that miracle hair growth formula. 1.3440 0.05460 125 91 25 9

586 Pretty impressive for a figure of speech 1.3435 0.05171 131 94 29 8

592 Do you really want to bear his children? 1.3423 0.06070 111 83 18 10

605 I think we can ignore it. It's not an elephant. 1.3406 0.05193 138 101 27 10
606 I just doubt that sitting in this guy's palm one time in the jungle means you're ready to share a flat. 1.3406 0.04878 138 98 33 7
607 I said let’s discuss the elephant in the room… 1.3404 0.05116 141 103 28 10
608 I just feel completely overshadowed when I’m with him. 1.3404 0.05016 141 102 30 9
609 But is ‘not eating someone’ really a sign of love? 1.3401 0.04969 147 107 30 10

615 It was much easier to ignore the elephant in the room. 1.3387 0.05713 124 93 20 11
616 So at first you were attracted to him because he seemed larger than life? 1.3385 0.05300 130 95 26 9

619 Ok, tell me, how exactly does she make you feel small? 1.3362 0.05604 116 85 23 8
620 Ah, Sylvia, now I understand what you meant when you said that the elephant in the room wasn't really the issue. 1.3361 0.05758 119 89 20 10
621 I hope he is paper-trained. 1.3361 0.05880 119 90 18 11
622 I just don’t know where his head’s at anymore. 1.3361 0.06000 119 91 16 12
623 I don’t know which is worse; the Andersons have to feed him, but we have to clean it up. 1.3361 0.05891 122 93 17 12
624 When was the last time you swept her off her feet? 1.3361 0.05535 122 90 23 9
625 They sure do grow up fast. 1.3361 0.05155 122 87 29 6

627 What I'm hearing is she feels you don't fit in her world anymore. 1.3360 0.04944 125 88 32 5
628 Well, they used to talk about "The elephant in the room" but apparently times have changed... 1.3357 0.05029 140 102 29 9
629 Why do you want a divorce, Mrs. Kong? 1.3357 0.05423 140 106 21 13
630 Why did we give away the elephant ?  At least it fit in the room. 1.3357 0.04957 143 104 30 9
631 You had to tell him to sit up straight! 1.3356 0.04913 149 109 30 10
632 Oh, just ignore him; that's what everybody does. 1.3355 0.04845 152 111 31 10

634 First, it sounds like she wanted to travel more whereas you had a different interpretation of "catch a plane." 1.3333 0.05480 111 80 25 6
635 There are worse situations than being married to an introvert. 1.3333 0.04968 138 100 30 8
636 I’m glad we are at least meeting in the office this time and not on top of the building. 1.3333 0.04999 141 103 29 9

655 It’s like we’re sitting right next to each other but his head is in another room! 1.3303 0.06393 109 85 12 12
656 Let’s forget about the elephant in the room for a moment. 1.3284 0.05583 134 103 18 13
657 When is a gorilla also an elephant? 1.3282 0.05247 131 97 25 9
658 I realize that it can be hard to acknowledge the problem. 1.3282 0.05358 131 98 23 10
659 I'm hearing at first he carried you off a building, but now he's driving you up a wall? 1.3282 0.05134 131 96 27 8

663 I said 'We'd like to meet him' not 'Bring him home'." 1.3279 0.05636 122 92 20 10
664 So, give me an example of how you feel belittled. 1.3277 0.05612 119 89 21 9
665 Well, strictly speaking, the 800-pound gorilla is in the bedroom. 1.3276 0.05844 116 88 18 10
666 You couldn't have known. Society expects pants. 1.3276 0.05714 116 87 20 9
667 We can talk about him. He can’t hear us. 1.3274 0.05684 113 84 21 8

670 And he has the nerve to complain about my hair clogging the shower. 1.3273 0.05646 110 81 22 7
671 I've gotten used to it. The people upstairs, not so much. 1.3271 0.05754 107 79 21 7
672 What a coincidence. I met my spouse at the top of the Empire State Building also." 1.3271 0.06197 107 82 15 10
673 I know, people call us shrinks, but that is a bit of a misnomer. 1.3271 0.05599 107 78 23 6
674 Have you tried role playing in the bedroom?" 1.3271 0.06053 107 81 17 9
675 Remember when we used to complain about the elephant in the room? 1.3269 0.05707 104 76 22 6
676 You've described how you felt being chained up and shot at by planes. Now let's listen to how she feels. 1.3269 0.06178 104 79 16 9
677 Sorry lady, that’s not what they mean by a shrink. 1.3264 0.05105 144 108 25 11
678 No glass ceilings for this guy. 1.3259 0.05239 135 101 24 10

680 Okay,so it is an 800 pound gorilla,fine,but you are still frigid,Grace. 1.3256 0.05297 129 96 24 9
681 Ok. Now let's address the gorilla in the room. 1.3254 0.05384 126 94 23 9
682 Life was easier when the elephant was in the room. 1.3250 0.05696 120 91 19 10
683 I don't think the two of you are seeing eye to eye. 1.3250 0.05696 120 91 19 10
684 Okay, but when was the last time you climbed a building for HIM? 1.3250 0.05181 120 87 27 6
685 I am not the elephant in the room! 1.3248 0.04980 117 83 30 4

687 I'm sensing a power imbalance in your relationship. 1.3243 0.05302 111 80 26 5
688 Enough about emotional damage. Let’s talk physical damage. 1.3243 0.05602 111 82 22 7
689 Now it’s important that both partners feel they can take up space in a relationship, ok? 1.3241 0.04979 145 108 27 10
690 I can’t imagine how I caught monkey pox. 1.3241 0.05858 108 81 19 8
691 It's ok not to see eye to eye on everything. 1.3241 0.05397 108 78 25 5
692 Empire State Building? No problem whatsoever! Buy try asking him to climb up and clean the gutters… 1.3241 0.05555 108 79 23 6
693 It seems you two may not be on the same level. 1.3239 0.05052 142 106 26 10
694 OK, we've bought the upstairs unit too, now what? 1.3238 0.05820 105 78 20 7
695 So, you want to change your legal name to Queen Kong? 1.3238 0.06127 105 80 16 9

699 Let's talk about one of those irreconcilable differences. 1.3235 0.05772 102 75 21 6
700 YOU'RE ADOPTED! 1.3233 0.05179 133 99 25 9
701 O just ignore him. He'll do anything to get attention 1.3233 0.04955 133 97 29 7
702 In order for this relationship to work, you need to be on each other's level. 1.3232 0.05712 99 72 22 5
703 So, Ms Wray. Is this your first time at marriage counselling? 1.3232 0.06062 99 74 18 7
704 Why do you feel you need space? 1.3231 0.05262 130 97 24 9
705 He didn't have a mask. 1.3229 0.06369 96 73 15 8
706 So, what brings you to couple's therapy today? 1.3228 0.05109 127 93 27 7
707 I'm not sure why you look so disappointed. You always hated that couch. 1.3226 0.05063 124 90 28 6
708 I prefer talking about the elephant! 1.3226 0.05191 124 91 26 7
709 Now that we've identified the elephant in the room!... 1.3226 0.06334 93 70 16 7
710 He's very protective and wanted to meet you in person. 1.3223 0.05277 121 89 25 7
711 For the next session, please use the service elevator... 1.3223 0.05532 121 91 21 9
712 Son, it’s time you learn how to take care of yourself. 1.3220 0.05757 118 90 18 10
713 My apologies I thought you meant a figurative 800-pound gorilla 1.3220 0.05367 118 87 24 7
714 See, doc! He’s never fully present. 1.3217 0.05461 115 85 23 7
715 So, I assume he sits anywhere he wants at home, too? 1.3217 0.05865 115 88 17 10
716 They grow up so fast. 1.3214 0.05413 112 82 24 6
717 We never talk any more. 1.3214 0.05262 112 81 26 5
718 Yes, I get that seeing eye-to-eye is a real problem. 1.3211 0.05812 109 82 19 8
719 This is one big misunderstanding - I can’t actually shrink him. 1.3211 0.06235 109 85 13 11
720 We never do anything exciting anymore. 1.3208 0.05615 106 78 22 6
721 I just feel like I've outgrown her. 1.3208 0.06076 106 81 16 9
722 Honestly, Jane, I'm not trying to minimize your concerns, but I think that you're overreacting to the situation. 1.3206 0.05338 131 99 22 10
723 Ms. Wray, Personally I think he's trying very hard. 1.3204 0.06048 103 78 17 8
724 I think we should start with your insurance information, Mrs. Kong." 1.3204 0.05556 103 75 23 5
725 I asked for an elephant! 1.3204 0.06048 103 78 17 8
726 OK, you win, let's talk about it. 1.3203 0.05075 128 94 27 7
727 You're saying it often feels like his head is somewhere else. 1.3200 0.05518 125 95 20 10
728 Don’t you think it’s time for him to find his own apartment? 1.3200 0.06010 100 75 18 7
729 Oh, when you said your husband is a big hairy ape I just assumed... 1.3200 0.05279 125 93 24 8
730 It's not like there's an elephant in the room. 1.3200 0.05634 125 96 18 11
731 Now that we have tackled the elephant in the room can we move on to the giant ape? 1.3194 0.04992 144 108 26 10
732 So it appears as if you two are not communicating on the same level... 1.3193 0.05193 119 87 26 6
733 The fertility doctor says the donor always remains anonymous. 1.3193 0.05715 119 91 18 10
734 Well, at least we have a breakthrough. 1.3193 0.04612 119 83 34 2
735 Every time I try to talk to him … it’s like, his head is in the clouds. 1.3190 0.05421 116 86 23 7
736 So Bob, how does it make you Feel when Tina calls you a big dumb ape? 1.3190 0.05557 116 87 21 8
737 No mom! I really am different! 1.3190 0.05691 116 88 19 9
738 Yes,I've heard the expression "the gorilla in the room". 1.3190 0.05691 116 88 19 9
739 And this makes you feel small? 1.3186 0.05223 113 82 26 5
740 I think we need to talk. A lot. " 1.3186 0.05373 113 83 24 6
741 Well, let's start with the obvious. You married a monster. 1.3186 0.05659 113 85 20 8
742 He used to take me places. 1.3186 0.05932 113 87 16 10
743 Every time I bring it up, he goes ape. 1.3182 0.05766 110 83 19 8
744 Will she be offended if I ask you how long your mother will be staying? 1.3182 0.05411 132 101 20 11
745 I thought we were going to talk about the elephant in the room? 1.3182 0.05193 132 99 24 9
746 I think that what Faye is trying to say here is that she would like more of the ‘Empire State building first date magic’ than the 50,000 pound gorilla 1.3178 0.05501 129 99 19 11
747 I suggest we begin by discussing any issues that seem obvious. 1.3178 0.05727 107 80 20 7
748 This is why I wanted to see a Shrink. 1.3178 0.05879 107 81 18 8
749 So tell me how long you’ve had this feeling of not fitting in 1.3178 0.05571 107 79 22 6
750 It's a figure of speech, John, I know you're only 700 pounds. 1.3178 0.05879 107 81 18 8
751 When a woman marries into royalty, a period of adjustment is to be expected. 1.3175 0.04995 126 92 28 6
752 And, as you can see, there are three bedrooms and two baths on the second floor. 1.3173 0.05677 104 77 21 6
753 I should have given you a head's up on the ceiling 1.3173 0.05840 104 78 19 7
754 In what ways do you feel like he overshadows you? 1.3167 0.05421 120 90 22 8
755 No, it's not an elephant, but I don't think we can ignore it. 1.3167 0.05290 120 89 24 7
756 Should we talk about the gorilla in the room? 1.3162 0.05777 117 90 17 10
757 First I want to say that you've both taken a positive step by coming to see me. Often, this type of whirlwind romance ends up with a hundred story fall, lots of regrets, no winners and blocked traffic. 1.3162 0.05648 117 89 19 9
758 We often struggle to see eye-to-eye. 1.3162 0.05242 117 86 25 6
759 You gonna mention it? 1.3158 0.05753 114 87 18 9
760 Just for once Can we not talk about the gorilla in the room? 1.3158 0.05616 114 86 20 8
761 Remember when we worried about the elephant in the room? 1.3158 0.06568 95 74 12 9
762 He just got fed up with everyone always talking about the “the elephant in the room.” 1.3158 0.05269 133 101 22 10
763 Perhaps we could meet in the park for our next session. 1.3158 0.05160 133 100 24 9
764 I believe the answer you are looking for is "anywhere it wants to". 1.3158 0.05476 114 85 22 7
765 In case you didn’t notice, I added a security deposit to my hourly rate. 1.3153 0.05274 111 81 25 5
766 When he sits around the house, he sits "around the house"....... 1.3152 0.06359 92 70 15 7
767 Size Matters. 1.3148 0.05681 108 81 20 7
768 Why, for Heaven's sake, is he still searching for airplanes? 1.3148 0.05527 108 80 22 6
769 He used to be the 300 lb gorilla in the room, but then that specialty donut shop opened up next door... 1.3148 0.05527 108 80 22 6
770 The elephant in the room got bored and moved out. 1.3148 0.05978 108 83 16 9
771 You said he was a monster and I see what you mean. 1.3148 0.05681 108 81 20 7
772 He hasn’t taken me anywhere since the Empire State Building. 1.3145 0.05767 124 97 15 12
773 I thought we were focussing on the elephant? 1.3145 0.05416 124 94 21 9
774 But, can you & Fay ever be happy ? 1.3143 0.05631 105 78 21 6
775 Imagine what the upstairs neighbors are facing. 1.3143 0.05296 105 76 25 4
776 It isn’t his oversized Id I have a problem with Doctor. 1.3140 0.05633 121 93 18 10
777 It sounds like you're having a hard time seeing eye to eye. 1.3140 0.05382 121 91 22 8
778 I was used to the elephant in the room. 1.3140 0.04984 121 88 28 5
779 Sir, I'm not here to take sides, but I think "battered husband" may be a bit of an overstatement. 1.3140 0.05253 121 90 24 7
780 Okay. Then what DO you want to talk about? 1.3136 0.05064 118 86 27 5
781 Frankly, I’m not sure where his head is at. 1.3136 0.05476 118 89 21 8
782 The truth is that she doesn't fit in anywhere. 1.3133 0.05106 150 116 21 13
783 No. No Elephant up here either. 1.3131 0.06200 99 76 15 8
784 Of course. Traditional marriage isn't for everyone. 1.3130 0.05841 115 89 16 10
785 I doubt the CoOp Board is going to approve our new pet. 1.3130 0.05574 115 87 20 8
786 For this scene, we need a bit more shock and surprise... 1.3130 0.05574 115 87 20 8
787 So, what are the neighbours watching? 1.3130 0.05709 115 88 18 9
788 Our relationship? I think it's fine; why do you ask? 1.3125 0.05981 96 72 18 6
789 And we thought the elephant was a problem. 1.3125 0.05386 112 83 23 6
790 I'm guessing we may be signing up for Ancestry.com 1.3119 0.05785 109 83 18 8
791 Honestly, I think your head is in the wrong place on this one. 1.3119 0.05326 109 80 24 5
792 Well, at least it’s off your back. 1.3119 0.05785 109 83 18 8
793 I understand you feel you need more space. 1.3119 0.05326 109 80 24 5
794 He's had his eye on the woman living above us for quite some time. 1.3115 0.04811 122 88 30 4
795 You don't see eye-to-eye. 1.3115 0.05216 122 91 24 7
796 This is not what I had in mind when I suggested you try to be the bigger person. 1.3115 0.05470 122 93 20 9
797 Unfortunately, I'm not that kind of 'Shrink'. 1.3113 0.05586 106 79 21 6
798 He's too focused on fitness. 1.3113 0.05423 106 78 23 5
799 I see their order from Amazon Primate arrived. 1.3109 0.05303 119 89 23 7
800 But I liked the elephant. 1.3109 0.05303 119 89 23 7
801 His head is always in the clouds… 1.3109 0.05028 119 87 27 5
802 It's not the airplanes that kill you, Mr. Kong 1.3109 0.05303 119 89 23 7
803 When he swept me off my feet and proposed at the top of The Empire State building I thought he’d make a perfect husband. 1.3107 0.05524 103 76 22 5
804 I thought it was just a figure-of-speech when you said your husband was an ape, Mrs. Chadwick. 1.3107 0.06175 103 80 14 9
805 Stop treating me like I don’t exist. 1.3103 0.06185 87 65 17 5
806 I can now see why you’re upset that he won’t wear pants. 1.3103 0.05395 116 87 22 7
807 We’ve taken care of the elephant in the room, but it seems there’s a new problem. 1.3103 0.05254 116 86 24 6
808 yeah, well every time I acknowledge him he carries me up the Empire State Building 1.3103 0.05666 116 89 18 9
809 The elephant won't come up the stairs. 1.3101 0.05481 129 100 18 11
810 Our next session will be via Zoom. 1.3100 0.05631 100 74 21 5
811 Good news, Dear. The elephant is no longer in the room. 1.3100 0.06308 100 78 13 9
812 The dealership replaced him with an inflatable... 1.3097 0.05195 113 83 25 5
813 But what about the children? 1.3097 0.05907 113 88 15 10
814 We took the first floor apartment because it turns out he is afraid of heights. 1.3097 0.05633 113 86 19 8
815 Did you have to sit on the remote ? 1.3095 0.04572 126 90 33 3
816 As you may recall, I said other issues might pop up after we addressed the elephant. 1.3095 0.04972 126 93 27 6
817 Is it possible that the fact that you feel he is not listening is because of the distance between you? 1.3095 0.04972 126 93 27 6
818 Honey, I told you that living near the Empire State Building had its drawbacks. 1.3095 0.04842 126 92 29 5
819 At least the sky’s the limit! 1.3093 0.06280 97 75 14 8
820 Even now, I don't feel like he's fully present 1.3093 0.06106 97 74 16 7
821 Well it's not like there's an elephant in the room. 1.3091 0.05739 110 84 18 8
822 Of course she’s tired of always being the human in the room. 1.3091 0.05592 110 83 20 7
823 That’s quite the imaginary friend you’ve got there 1.3091 0.05592 110 83 20 7
824 I just wish you had asked me first before telling your mother she could stay with us. 1.3089 0.05431 123 94 20 9
825 I know at work he is King Kong, but at home can’t he just be Jimmy Kong? 1.3089 0.05552 123 95 18 10
826 He takes up all the room in the relationship. 1.3088 0.05061 136 103 24 9
827 Can we discuss the gorilla in the room. 1.3085 0.05863 94 70 19 5
828 The elephant called in sick at the last moment. 1.3085 0.06241 94 72 15 7
829 Can we agree the gorilla in the room is the gorilla in the room? 1.3084 0.05851 107 82 17 8
830 They just grow up so fast… 1.3084 0.05541 107 80 21 6
831 I don’t think ‘ignoring the elephant in the room’ is quite the right expression here. 1.3084 0.05698 107 81 19 7
832 I do offer remote sessions, if you’d be more comfortable with that. 1.3083 0.05131 120 89 25 6
833 But first I was hoping we could address the elephant in the room. 1.3083 0.05565 133 105 15 13
834 How long after that first date at the Empire State Building did things start to unravel? 1.3077 0.05073 117 86 26 5
835 Usually with most people this is metaphorical. 1.3077 0.05624 117 90 18 9
836 It is just hard to be in the same room with you sometimes. 1.3077 0.05624 117 90 18 9
837 Okay, so we’ve made great progress on the elephant in the room… 1.3077 0.05810 104 79 18 7
838 Perhaps our next session should be on the roof? 1.3071 0.05063 127 95 25 7
839 Aside from a willingness to relocate, what can you offer my daughter? 1.3070 0.05727 114 88 17 9
840 I feel like we’ve made a breakthrough. 1.3070 0.05449 114 86 21 7
841 We can’t even sit down in the same room together anymore 1.3070 0.05861 114 89 15 10
842 He's visiting the elephant in the other room. 1.3069 0.06253 101 79 13 9
843 I feel as if you outgrew me. 1.3068 0.06124 88 66 17 5
844 So you’ve been saying you feel like you don’t fit in? 1.3063 0.05399 111 83 22 6
845 Clearly it’s separation anxiety, Fay… 1.3063 0.05548 111 84 20 7
846 Okay, I think it’s time we addressed the gorilla in the room 1.3063 0.05245 111 82 24 5
847 Sometimes it feels like we're on different wavelengths 1.3061 0.05876 98 74 18 6
848 I guess we'll have room for the giraffes now." 1.3061 0.05506 98 72 22 4
849 So this is the 800 pound gorilla I've heard about? 1.3060 0.05106 134 102 23 9
850 It was then that Dr. Lichtenstein realized what Barbara had been trying to say when she told him her husband was a “real animal”. 1.3058 0.05358 121 92 21 8
851 It's like he has his head in the clouds. 1.3058 0.04817 121 88 29 4
852 Now do you understand why I said we should have bought the A-Frame ? 1.3056 0.05497 108 81 21 6
853 So, your love life has never been better? 1.3056 0.05652 108 82 19 7
854 I think the artist added a zero when I referenced the 500 pound gorilla in the room. 1.3056 0.05652 108 82 19 7
855 It just feels like she always gets to be ‘Beauty’” 1.3056 0.06094 108 85 13 10
856 I can see why he is driving you bananas. 1.3051 0.05582 118 91 18 9
857 We’re not going to get anywhere if we can’t look each other in the eyes. 1.3051 0.05316 118 89 22 7
858 Let’s talk about boundaries. 1.3048 0.05434 105 78 22 5
859 Don't you think he's outgrown the house? 1.3048 0.05600 105 79 20 6
860 George, your mother and I have something very difficult to tell you. ...Your sister was adopted. 1.3043 0.06132 92 70 16 6
861 Are you sure there’s nothing else on your mind? 1.3043 0.05408 115 87 21 7
862 Last week we were talking about the Elephant. 1.3040 0.05233 125 95 22 8
863 Do I have to say it? 1.3039 0.06040 102 79 15 8
864 He needs some space. 1.3039 0.05709 102 77 19 6
865 Shall we start by addressing the gorilla in the room? 1.3039 0.05877 102 78 17 7
866 When you described your husband as ‘ogre with his head in the clouds’ I assumed you were being metaphorical. 1.3037 0.05286 135 105 19 11
867 Do you understand how she feels she can’t be in the same room as you? 1.3036 0.05649 112 86 18 8
868 He sits anywhere he wants. 1.3036 0.05048 112 82 26 4
869 So, where should we begin? 1.3036 0.05649 112 86 18 8
870 Timmy can be rambunctious and I'm sorry he sat on your husband. 1.3034 0.06856 89 71 9 9
871 You see, size DOES matter. 1.3033 0.05320 122 93 21 8
872 Are we going to talk about the 100lb woman in the room? 1.3030 0.06650 99 80 8 11
873 You’ve got to quit monkeying around, and get your head into this relationship. 1.3030 0.05037 132 100 24 8
874 He’s just plane crazy. 1.3028 0.05756 109 84 17 8
875 We warned you about the drawbacks of an interspecies marriage. 1.3028 0.06044 109 86 13 10
876 It's not me. It's him. 1.3028 0.05756 109 84 17 8
877 I just think your mom would be more comfortable in her own place. 1.3028 0.05902 109 85 15 9
878 He promised his climbing days were over,but where do I find him the other day?… on top of the Chrysler Building. 1.3028 0.06044 109 86 13 10
879 We’d love to keep him, but the vet bills are through the roof. 1.3023 0.05980 86 64 18 4
880 What's bringing you in for couple counseling? 1.3023 0.06631 86 67 12 7
881 He ate my mother. 1.3023 0.06834 86 68 10 8
882 Since we've addressed the elephant in the room can we move on to something more pressing. 1.3022 0.04966 139 106 24 9
883 Well, now that we're seated, we can talk. 1.3021 0.05364 96 70 23 3
884 The elephant matched the furniture better. 1.3019 0.05555 106 80 20 6
885 Oh! So that’s why I wasn’t supposed to say 'bananas'. 1.3019 0.06020 106 83 14 9
886 At least the elephant fit in the room 1.3017 0.05226 116 87 23 6
887 “Is it really necessary for him to manspread also? 1.3017 0.05368 116 88 21 7
888 Gary, Linda and I, while you can't see it, we ARE addressing you! 1.3016 0.05197 126 96 22 8
889 Very well Mrs. Goodall…what seems to be the problem…? 1.3012 0.06800 83 65 11 7
890 Can you see it, too? 1.3011 0.06448 93 73 12 8
891 What do you think his body language is telling us Mary? 1.3011 0.05879 93 70 18 5
892 My advice : less kidnappings, more flowers. 1.3010 0.05827 103 79 17 7
893 Now that he's in the room, I'd say he weighs more than 800 pounds. 1.3009 0.05316 113 85 22 6
894 I think it is time to address the gorilla in the room. 1.3009 0.05316 113 85 22 6
895 And what did you think an 'open marriage' was 1.3009 0.05745 113 88 16 9
896 Of course your friend can stay here for a couple of weeks. Why would I think otherwise? 1.3009 0.04850 113 82 28 3
897 Given the circumstances, we thought a shrink could do us good 1.3009 0.05745 113 88 16 9
898 I'll never confuse the elephant and gorilla metaphors again! 1.3008 0.05529 123 96 17 10
899 I hear you saying he does whatever he wants. 1.3008 0.05155 123 93 23 7
900 We should see if the Jones’s are okay 1.3000 0.05774 100 76 18 6
901 You can't expect a king size bed to solve all your problems. 1.3000 0.05093 110 81 25 4
902 Maybe we should conduct our sessions outside. 1.3000 0.05093 110 81 25 4
903 Since we last met, anything different? 1.3000 0.06211 90 69 15 6
904 What I’m hearing is you feel you’re doing all the heavy lifting. 1.3000 0.05711 110 85 17 8
905 Mind if we switch to virtual sessions? 1.3000 0.05239 120 91 22 7
906 Am I imagining it, Emily, or have you become a bit distant since my Uncle Harry moved in? 1.3000 0.05774 100 76 18 6
907 You can’t hide here. Are those biplanes out there looking for you? 1.3000 0.04965 120 89 26 5
908 The way I see it, it's not an elephant, so we don't have to address it. 1.3000 0.05855 110 86 15 9
909 Could you at least pay your half of the rent? 1.3000 0.05711 110 85 17 8
910 Ann, tell Kong how you feel when he carries you up a tall building against your will. 1.3000 0.05749 120 95 14 11
911 We used to be so close but now it just feels like we’re two different species 1.3000 0.05254 110 82 23 5
912 All right, what DO you want to discuss? 1.2992 0.04913 127 95 26 6
913 I see that you two are having a hard time seeing eye to eye 1.2991 0.05188 117 88 23 6
914 I think you've outgrown couples therapy. 1.2991 0.05510 107 81 20 6
915 Are we just going to ignore the gorilla in the room? 1.2991 0.05347 107 80 22 5
916 So...George, Edith tells me she believes your ego is out of control--what do you think? 1.2991 0.05347 107 80 22 5
917 Were you thinking of a Mani or Pedi? 1.2991 0.05347 107 80 22 5
918 I should have mentioned that we could have met on zoom. 1.2991 0.05510 107 81 20 6
919 I thought you invited him 1.2990 0.05892 97 74 17 6
920 May I call you Fay or do you prefer Mrs. Kong? 1.2990 0.05892 97 74 17 6
921 He just doesn't fit in ANYWHERE!!! 1.2984 0.05489 124 97 17 10
922 I think that since he's not actually IN the room, we can indeed ignore him. 1.2982 0.05563 114 88 18 8
923 No elephant was available? 1.2982 0.05563 114 88 18 8
924 Let's talk about the elephant that's not in the room. 1.2982 0.05421 114 87 20 7
925 We probably should have gone with the pet door. 1.2981 0.05614 104 79 19 6
926 Lots of first dates are exciting. Marriage takes work. 1.2981 0.05778 104 80 17 7
927 I’m not that kind of shrink. 1.2981 0.05271 104 77 23 4
928 We won’t get anywhere if you hide your feelings like this Mr. Kong. 1.2981 0.05445 104 78 21 5
929 You said he was primal? 1.2981 0.05614 104 79 19 6
930 So tell me, why do you think the little woman is unhappy? 1.2979 0.05825 94 71 18 5
931 I always thought the four hundred pound gorilla in the room was metaphorical. 1.2975 0.05202 121 92 22 7
932 I continue to be puzzled why you won't agree to a paternity test. 1.2973 0.04889 111 81 27 3
933 Is he like this all the time? 1.2973 0.06084 111 89 11 11
934 Yes, I can see you have big problems that are through the roof. Do we want to start with how you met? 1.2973 0.05368 111 84 21 6
935 Apparently, size does matter... 1.2973 0.04889 111 81 27 3
936 So you say your husband is a bit too dominant? 1.2973 0.05519 111 85 19 7
937 I liked it better with the elephant in the room. 1.2970 0.05894 101 78 16 7
938 When we first met we were on top of the world. 1.2970 0.05724 101 77 18 6
939 So how long has it been since you and your husband have had difficulty seeing eye-to-eye, Mrs. Kong? 1.2970 0.06060 101 79 14 8
940 The elephant in the room? Can’t we agree on anything? 1.2970 0.06060 101 79 14 8
941 Can't you see it? 1.2967 0.05949 91 69 17 5
942 Size matters, of course, but down the road you're going to realize there's other things that matter, too. 1.2967 0.06347 91 71 13 7
943 You're asking a lot from a shrink.” 1.2967 0.06536 91 72 11 8
944 We’re new to the area and he’s having a hard time fitting in. 1.2963 0.05773 108 84 16 8
945 'Every time I try to talk to him, he turns into a giant gorilla' 1.2963 0.05773 108 84 16 8
946 He just always has to be the center of attention! 1.2963 0.05465 108 82 20 6
947 So, Mrs. Kong, tell me more about how you and King aren’t seeing eye to eye. 1.2963 0.05305 108 81 22 5
948 Normally in these sessions, it's the elephant in the room that's the problem. 1.2959 0.05657 98 74 19 5
949 Can you believe the other day he complained about MY hair in the shower? 1.2957 0.05236 115 87 22 6
950 You're looking for help from a shrink? 1.2955 0.06293 88 68 14 6
951 Why don't we begin by addressing the gorilla in the room? 1.2951 0.05165 122 93 22 7
952 The pet store DID tell us he was home-sick and overweight! 1.2951 0.04895 122 91 26 5
953 I'm fine with not mentioning him if you are. 1.2947 0.06327 95 75 12 8
954 This is what happens when you ignore him! 1.2947 0.06147 95 74 14 7
955 Have you experienced other problems with size? 1.2941 0.05501 102 77 20 5
956 Let’s hope it doesn’t rain. 1.2941 0.04971 119 89 25 5
957 And will you be raising the children Jewish? 1.2941 0.06167 102 81 12 9
958 Well what kinds of problems did you expect? 1.2941 0.05113 119 90 23 6
959 Well at least it's not the elephant in the room! 1.2941 0.05843 102 79 16 7
960 Soooo, how far back in your ancestory did you want to go? 1.2941 0.05675 102 78 18 6
961 And you wanted to downsize. 1.2936 0.05873 109 86 14 9
962 So, Fay, does he always need to sit where he can see the Empire State Building? 1.2936 0.05263 109 82 22 5
963 I wish you had come to me sooner. 1.2935 0.06473 92 73 11 8
964 You're not 'bananas.' We don't use that word here. 1.2935 0.05893 92 70 17 5
965 Better than the elephant in the room 1.2935 0.05687 92 69 19 4
966 I just feel like I always have to be the bigger person 1.2935 0.05893 92 70 17 5
967 What do you mean, "We have to talk about this?" Talk about what? 1.2931 0.05197 116 88 22 6
968 So, lets talk about your trip to the top of the Empire State Building 1.2931 0.05340 116 89 20 7
969 Before you said that size does not matter! 1.2931 0.05745 116 92 14 10
970 He's growing up fast. 1.2929 0.05227 99 73 23 3
971 And you can't overlook the age difference. 1.2925 0.05522 106 81 19 6
972 How long have you two been carrying on behind my back? 1.2925 0.05682 106 82 17 7
973 Blue chewable kid's vitamins? Those were my steroid pills. 1.2925 0.05838 106 83 15 8
974 Interesting, even the 800 lbs gorilla is subject to inflation. 1.2925 0.05682 106 82 17 7
975 I thought you said prime rates are through the roof. 1.2925 0.05990 106 84 13 9
976 Well to be fair you two only just met 1.2925 0.05356 106 80 21 5
977 Miss the elephant now? 1.2923 0.04938 130 99 24 7
978 The ad said he only weighed 800 pounds. 1.2923 0.05057 130 100 22 8
979 I am not sure that therapy is the best way to prevent him to hit the ceiling when he doesn't get what he wants. 1.2921 0.06022 89 68 16 5
980 So, Mr. Kong, do you think you're finally ready to talk about the woman in the room. 1.2920 0.05286 113 86 21 6
981 Do you feel fat-shamed when she calls you the 500 pound gorilla in the room? 1.2920 0.05577 113 88 17 8
982 Well, at least he dropped that screechy blonde. 1.2917 0.05719 96 73 18 5
983 I think it would be safer if we addressed the 100 pound wife in the room. 1.2917 0.05524 96 72 20 4
984 I agree, actually I will agree with anything you say. 1.2917 0.05212 120 92 21 7
985 Now that we’ve taken care of the elephant… 1.2917 0.04936 120 90 25 5
986 Leonard, I feel like you're not all here. 1.2913 0.05627 103 79 18 6
987 Maybe it was never Kong you were attracted to, maybe it was just the danger 1.2911 0.06280 79 60 15 4
988 Have you tried role playing? 1.2909 0.05532 110 85 18 7
989 We’re trying therapy because we can never meet eye to eye. 1.2909 0.05222 110 83 22 5
990 Can we talk about the gorilla in the room? 1.2907 0.05933 86 65 17 4
991 Just getting him here is a start. 1.2903 0.05203 93 68 23 2
992 That's just it. He always sits wherever he wants to. 1.2900 0.05911 100 78 15 7
993 The elephant is on vacation this week. 1.2900 0.06243 100 80 11 9
994 You have to grow as a person. 1.2897 0.05313 107 81 21 5
995 Yes, you’re here but, your clearly not present. 1.2897 0.05790 107 84 15 8
996 There's just no sense of adventure anymore, I can't even remember the last time we visited the Empire State Building 1.2897 0.05790 107 84 15 8
997 I didn't think he would take me literally when I asked him to "Drop by!" 1.2897 0.05940 107 85 13 9
998 So you're saying you want the chimp years back. 1.2897 0.05477 107 82 19 6
999 Well..he’d be a huge help at home if I needed helicopters swatted out of the sky. 1.2897 0.04970 107 79 25 3
1000 Honestly, I think you’re in over your head with this relationship 1.2897 0.05145 107 80 23 4
1001 I know you believe that he’s committed to the relationship, but I think he may be looking around” 1.2895 0.05392 114 88 19 7
1002 I had a bad feeling when I saw him climbing up the side of the building. 1.2893 0.05174 121 93 21 7
1003 As long as he's not climbing The Empire State Building, then liability insurance will cover property damage and any potential injuries. 1.2887 0.05475 97 73 20 4
1004 We’re going to stick with the gecko. 1.2887 0.06035 97 76 14 7
1005 And for sure he's potty trained, right? 1.2887 0.05855 97 75 16 6
1006 We were expecting an Elephant in the room! 1.2885 0.05905 104 82 14 8
1007 It is not always “what King Kong wants, King Kong gets”. Let’s find a happy compromise. 1.2885 0.05409 104 79 20 5
1008 I really think it’s time we have the talk. 1.2885 0.05744 104 81 16 7
1009 Well... he is clearly not imaginary... 1.2883 0.05020 111 83 24 4
1010 Stop saying I’m ignoring the elephant in the room! 1.2883 0.05337 111 85 20 6
1011 He's very popular on the second floor. 1.2883 0.05337 111 85 20 6
1012 He knows I don't like heights, but he insists on us scaling every building he sees 1.2883 0.05020 111 83 24 4
1013 Are we going to talk about the gorilla in the room? 1.2881 0.05121 118 90 22 6
1014 I miss the elephant. 1.2874 0.05874 87 66 17 4
1015 So when you said a 10k pound gorilla, we’re gonna need a bigger room 1.2872 0.06167 94 74 13 7
1016 I think it’s time we mention the gorilla in the room 1.2871 0.06026 101 80 13 8
1017 We want to start a family. 1.2871 0.06346 101 82 9 10
1018 plenty of teenagers experiment with bananas 1.2871 0.05688 101 78 17 6
1019 I bet they regret complaining about the giraffe. 1.2870 0.05742 108 85 15 8
1020 So, people made fun of your small hands and you closed your eyes and made a wish. What happened after that? 1.2870 0.05432 108 83 19 6
1021 We need to address the gorilla in the room if we are to move forward. 1.2870 0.05350 115 89 19 7
1022 Use bug spray instead of stamping next time. 1.2870 0.05206 115 88 21 6
1023 Let's now talk about the 800-pound gorilla in the rooms. 1.2869 0.05137 122 94 21 7
1024 Today, Diane, I’d like to focus exclusively on you. 1.2869 0.05267 122 95 19 8
1025 It’s seems evident your primate has reach his limit. 1.2857 0.06110 91 71 14 6
1026 That's what I hate about this building: the neighbor's issues always seem to land in your lap eventually. 1.2857 0.05906 91 70 16 5
1027 I expected an elephant. 1.2857 0.05445 112 87 18 7
1028 Can you recall a specific occasion where you felt that you didn't fit in? 1.2857 0.05427 98 74 20 4
1029 So you never once suspected that he might be a homewrecker? 1.2857 0.05365 105 80 20 5
1030 Yes, he’s gotten bigger, but who hasn’t? 1.2857 0.05356 119 93 18 8
1031 But it’s not an elephant in the room. 1.2857 0.06306 91 72 12 7
1032 But if I recall, it was YOUR idea for your husband to start testosterone treatments. 1.2857 0.05802 98 76 16 6
1033 In order for the divorce to go through, both parties must be visibly present 1.2857 0.05445 112 87 18 7
1034 Fay, of course he expects to be King of the castle. 1.2857 0.06110 91 71 14 6
1035 As you know, Fay, skyscraper living has its challenges. 1.2857 0.05445 112 87 18 7
1036 At least we already addressed the elephant in the room. 1.2857 0.05591 112 88 16 8
1037 some problems are just too big to be solved in a single session, you'll have to come back 1.2844 0.05064 109 82 23 4
1038 Okay,we can ignore it for one more session. 1.2844 0.05695 109 86 15 8
1039 On the contrary, I find it a wonderful conversation starter. 1.2844 0.05544 109 85 17 7
1040 She says I constantly hurt her ceilings. 1.2844 0.05544 109 85 17 7
1041 "Please remind him that 'drop in' is just a figure of speech." 1.2844 0.05544 109 85 17 7
1042 I miss the elephant that used to sit there. 1.2843 0.05808 102 80 15 7
1043 The problem is, Doctor, he thinks he’s an elephant ! 1.2843 0.05639 102 79 17 6
1044 So you're saying you always have to be the big one in the relationship? 1.2843 0.05464 102 78 19 5
1045 We can’t seem to see eye to eye. 1.2843 0.06133 102 82 11 9
1046 Now the 800 lb. gorilla is in their room too! 1.2843 0.05808 102 80 15 7
1047 And that's the difference between an idiom and a metaphor. 1.2840 0.06145 81 62 15 4
1048 I would be more than happy to come to your place for our sessions in the future. 1.2833 0.05183 120 93 20 7
1049 Have you seen the remote? 1.2830 0.05648 106 83 16 7
1050 It’s fairly common for couples to quarrel over not cleaning out the hair from the shower drain. 1.2830 0.05648 106 83 16 7
1051 It seems as if we've made a breakthrough of sorts. 1.2830 0.05321 106 81 20 5
1052 Think this is worse than having an elephant in the room? 1.2830 0.05321 106 81 20 5
1053 I can see my treehouse from here. 1.2830 0.05487 106 82 18 6
1054 When did you first notice you were growing apart? 1.2828 0.05380 99 75 20 4
1055 I’m concerned you’re not in the right headspace for this discussion. 1.2828 0.05750 99 77 16 6
1056 Well, at least it isn't an elephant. 1.2828 0.05185 99 74 22 3
1057 I guess I'm just tired of living in his shadow. 1.2826 0.05850 92 71 16 5
1058 This is the first time I've used the word "breakthrough" literally. 1.2826 0.05850 92 71 16 5
1059 What I am hearing you say, Joe, is that you sometimes feel pressure to be "Mighty" when just fitting in would make you happy? 1.2826 0.06245 92 73 12 7
1060 Kong, we need to discuss the 800 pound gorilla in the room. 1.2826 0.06051 92 72 14 6
1061 I sense that one of you feels caged in, while the other is being dragged along. 1.2826 0.05642 92 70 18 4
1062 But how often do we really need a jar of spaghetti sauce opened? 1.2826 0.06051 92 72 14 6
1063 What ever happened to the Elephant in the room? 1.2824 0.05703 85 64 18 3
1064 Don't look at me, you wanted to adopt. 1.2824 0.06821 85 69 8 8
1065 Look I’m sorry but I wasn’t body shaming, elephant in the room is a term we use in our business to describe an obvious issue at hand. 1.2821 0.06554 78 61 12 5
1066 I think having the both of you sitting on the same couch is a good start. 1.2821 0.05741 78 58 18 2
1067 Next time please call before you drop by. 1.2816 0.05590 103 80 17 6
1068 Marilyn, it's obvious that the emotional support giant gorilla just isn't working out for you. 1.2816 0.05758 103 81 15 7
1069 After the elephant left the room, Madge and Timothy patiently followed their evolution. 1.2812 0.05678 96 74 17 5
1070 No, I never saw that movie. 1.2812 0.05678 96 74 17 5
1071 But Fay, you knew all this when you married him! 1.2810 0.05146 121 94 20 7
1072 Can we go just back to the time when we only had an elephant in the room? 1.2809 0.06187 89 70 13 6
1073 So, you feel you've grown apart. 1.2804 0.05442 107 83 18 6
1074 You can't keep your head stuck in the clouds 1.2804 0.05757 107 85 14 8
1075 I wouldn’t say anything. You know how temperamental he can be. 1.2804 0.05277 107 82 20 5
1076 Why, no, Mrs Roe, there’s no elephant in the room. 1.2796 0.05590 93 71 18 4
1077 OK, we can keep him, but I'm going to need a yellow hat. 1.2796 0.05590 93 71 18 4
1078 I told him not to take the fourth booster 1.2796 0.05993 93 73 14 6
1079 Seeing eye to eye is actually a metaphor. 1.2793 0.05303 111 86 19 6
1080 Remind me, how did you two meet? 1.2791 0.05883 86 66 16 4
1081 Men are primal and look for more space. 1.2788 0.05372 104 80 19 5
1082 He won my heart when he took me to the top of the Empire State Building. The view was magnificent. 1.2788 0.05372 104 80 19 5
1083 He was so tiny and cute as a baby. 1.2788 0.05372 104 80 19 5
1084 I will no longer charge extra for house calls. 1.2788 0.05543 104 81 17 6
1085 The problem is his mother. 1.2785 0.05958 79 60 16 3
1086 I really think we need to address the elephant in the room. 1.2784 0.05815 97 76 15 6
1087 We, like the people upstairs, have to acknowledge the gorilla in the room. 1.2784 0.05627 97 75 17 5
1088 I still don’t know how you can ignore the gorilla in the room. 1.2784 0.05433 97 74 19 4
1089 I think I know why you don't feel 'heard'. 1.2784 0.05231 97 73 21 3
1090 I’d like to revisit your earlier statement when you said, “Size doesn’t matter”. Can you explain that in more detail Jane? 1.2784 0.05627 97 75 17 5
1091 I may be going out on a limb here but I don’t think the two of you see eye to eye. 1.2783 0.05024 115 88 22 5
1092 So ... He doesn't help around the house?! 1.2783 0.05461 115 91 16 8
1093 I talked him down 1.2778 0.04994 126 98 21 7
1094 I don't take drop ins 1.2778 0.04893 108 81 24 3
1095 We need to be more careful with your diet. 1.2778 0.05067 108 82 22 4
1096 It just feels like he barely even sees me 1.2778 0.06326 90 72 11 7
1097 I hate it when your mother just drops in. 1.2778 0.05859 108 87 12 9
1098 This is why apartments are so cheap this close to the Empire State Building! 1.2772 0.05990 101 81 12 8
1099 Ask him to stand up. I'd love to have a triplex! 1.2772 0.05650 101 79 16 6
1100 Every sink is clogged, doc! Don't even get me started about the toilet seat! 1.2772 0.05822 101 80 14 7
1101 I see you find it hard to be in the same room together. 1.2771 0.06255 83 65 13 5
1102 He's not the man I married. 1.2771 0.06255 83 65 13 5
1103 Where does an eight ton gorilla usually sit? 1.2771 0.06015 83 64 15 4
1104 How long will your brother be staying with us? 1.2771 0.05766 83 63 17 3
1105 In this case, a banana is just a banana. 1.2771 0.06708 83 67 9 7
1106 You could have told me you were seeing someone. 1.2768 0.05262 112 87 19 6
1107 Well, it's better than burying your head in the sand. 1.2768 0.05262 112 87 19 6
1108 Normally I don't allow drop-ins... 1.2768 0.04947 112 85 23 4
1109 The super said he should be gone by next week 1.2768 0.04781 112 84 25 3
1110 Ok, Yes, I believe you now!! 1.2766 0.05741 94 73 16 5
1111 We are just not able see eye to eye. 1.2766 0.05327 94 71 20 3
1112 And you didn't know this when you married him? 1.2766 0.05741 94 73 16 5
1113 So, visiting the Empire State Building is a deal breaker? 1.2766 0.05741 94 73 16 5
1114 I'm sensing an imbalance of power in the relationship. 1.2763 0.06379 76 59 13 4
1115 He ate the elephant in the room 1.2763 0.06908 76 61 9 6
1116 Kong can you see our food delivery coming? They’re sooo late. 1.2762 0.05496 105 82 17 6
1117 Mary, what traits of your husband makes you think of him as a "Big Gorilla" ? 1.2762 0.05820 105 84 13 8
1118 Yes, but we were supposed to talk about the elephant in the room. 1.2762 0.05496 105 82 17 6
1119 Why does he get to watch whatever he wants? 1.2762 0.05975 105 85 11 9
1120 Look, we can ignore an 800 pound gorilla in the room, but an eight ton gorilla no way! 1.2762 0.05496 105 82 17 6
1121 Let’s not talk about it 1.2759 0.05135 116 90 20 6
1122 But what does he have that I haven't? 1.2759 0.05824 87 67 16 4
1123 Well, he doesn't look like anyone on my side of the family either. 1.2759 0.06266 87 69 12 6
1124 And how often does he go through the roof like this? 1.2759 0.06476 87 70 10 7
1125 Of course he’s related to the elephant in the room. 1.2759 0.05279 116 91 18 7
1126 The lady at the shelter is the best salesperson I have ever met. 1.2755 0.05385 98 75 19 4
1127 At least now we have the skylight you wanted. 1.2755 0.05385 98 75 19 4
1128 Lately, it's just like he's got his head in the clouds 1.2755 0.05186 98 74 21 3
1129 He said he’d hit the roof if we didn’t agree 1.2752 0.05193 109 84 20 5
1130 He wants to compete on the women's swim team. 1.2750 0.06408 80 63 12 5
1131 And you said we'd never outgrow this apartment. 1.2750 0.05016 120 93 21 6
1132 Well, Diane, what say we address the gorilla in the room first? 1.2747 0.05649 91 70 17 4
1133 Where should we put the litter box? 1.2747 0.06264 91 73 11 7
1134 You were the one who wanted a pet. 1.2745 0.05424 102 79 18 5
1135 Well, that solves one problem. 1.2745 0.05424 102 79 18 5
1136 And how does the swinging make you feel? 1.2745 0.05601 102 80 16 6
1137 Mr. Kong, it’s always a pleasure when you drop in. 1.2745 0.05771 102 81 14 7
1138 Now, John, in your own words, please share with me why you and your wife came to see me. 1.2743 0.05067 113 87 21 5
1139 The upstairs neighbors must be going bananas by now. 1.2738 0.06189 84 66 13 5
1140 Well, Fay", said Mr. Ray, "this is where I lose you. 1.2737 0.05687 95 74 16 5
1141 I begged the neighbors not to feed him, but they wouldn't listen! 1.2737 0.05687 95 74 16 5
1142 On the plus side,male pattern baldness won't ever become an issue. 1.2737 0.05487 95 73 18 4
1143 He said he thinks it's about time we talk about the hundred and twenty pound woman in the room. 1.2737 0.05687 95 74 16 5
1144 Didn't I tell you elephant in the room insurance wouldn't be enough?! 1.2736 0.05283 106 82 19 5
1145 800 pounds we could handle. But this is a bit much. 1.2736 0.05451 106 83 17 6
1146 so he's afraid of planes? 1.2735 0.04949 117 90 22 5
1147 It's better than the Elephant! 1.2727 0.06827 77 62 9 6
1148 I don't want to talk about it. 1.2727 0.05311 110 86 18 6
1149 I just feel like his ego has gone through the roof. 1.2727 0.06827 77 62 9 6
1150 I told him,no monkey business. 1.2727 0.05988 88 69 14 5
1151 I see what you mean. It’s much harder to address the issue when he actually isn’t IN the room. 1.2727 0.05466 110 87 16 7
1152 So, where would you like to start? 1.2727 0.06410 88 71 10 7
1153 It's worth the fortune in bananas to have the Olsens finally turn down the music upstairs. 1.2719 0.05180 114 89 19 6
1154 Let's talk about the elephant, I mean, baboon in the room. 1.2719 0.05180 114 89 19 6
1155 See what I mean? He’s here, but he’s not Here. 1.2719 0.05328 114 90 17 7

1157 I just don't feel seen. 1.2718 0.05552 103 81 16 6
1158 Tell me more about this feeling you have that your perspectives began to diverge between four and six million years ago. 1.2717 0.05377 92 70 19 3
1159 I just don't think your head is in this.. 1.2717 0.04913 92 68 23 1
1160 I think it’s possible she sometimes finds your presence overbearing. 1.2717 0.05150 92 69 21 2

1164 Heads up. 1.2716 0.06576 81 65 10 6
1165 It used to be the elephant in the room. How times change. 1.2716 0.06089 81 63 14 4
1166 Ok. Ok. Inside voice please. 1.2716 0.06337 81 64 12 5

1176 At least, couldn't you get him to wear shorts? 1.2706 0.06124 85 67 13 5
1177 I see what you mean when you say it feels like you're not being heard. 1.2706 0.05891 85 66 15 4
1178 When did you first notice the gorilla in the room? 1.2706 0.06348 85 68 11 6
1179 He’s just shy, he grew up in Canada 🇨🇦 1.2703 0.05857 111 91 10 10
1180 I just feel like he’s not not really present, like he’s on a different level or something. 1.2703 0.05111 111 86 20 5
1181 I'd say that's more than 800 pounds. 1.2700 0.05478 100 78 17 5

1205 If there was an elephant in the room I would be more than willing to discuss it. 1.2673 0.05245 101 78 19 4

1207 So… should we start by addressing the gorilla in the room? 1.2672 0.05387 116 93 15 8
1208 I have my doubts that couples therapy is going to help! 1.2667 0.05653 90 70 16 4

1210 'Tis beauty killed my security deposit. 1.2667 0.06281 90 73 10 7
1211 Well, after this one, I will do all future sessions only over Zoom. 1.2667 0.05870 90 71 14 5
1212 Really Faye? You know how I feel about pets on the furniture. 1.2667 0.06477 90 74 8 8
1213 Let's try this: Close your eyes and go back in time to remember what it was that made you fall in love when he first held you in his hand? 1.2667 0.05458 105 83 16 6
1214 Just when we think we’ve solved the monkey on your back... 1.2667 0.06079 90 72 12 6
1215 The bigger breakthrough is he’s no longer on your back. 1.2661 0.05317 109 86 17 6
1216 I feel we won't make progress if we continue to ignore the gorilla in the room 1.2660 0.06083 94 76 11 7
1217 When he said, "Meet me on top of the Empire State Building," I expected something more romantic. 1.2660 0.05490 94 73 17 4
1218 This appears to be a gorilla on the couch, not a monkey on your back 1.2660 0.06083 94 76 11 7
1219 So what happened after the Empire State meeting? 1.2658 0.05896 79 61 15 3
1220 Take him to the Empire State Building and let him go. 1.2655 0.05336 113 90 16 7
1221 This is my friend Gary, is it okay if he sits in on our session? Keep in mind if you say no he has to leave through the roof and that might cause it to collapse. 1.2655 0.05482 113 91 14 8
1222 I’m not sure, but now might be the time to run! 1.2653 0.05340 98 76 18 4
1223 I suppose this means we'll have to tell the landlord. 1.2651 0.05959 83 65 14 4
1224 I mean, we have to talk about it SOMETIME. 1.2651 0.06658 83 68 8 7
1225 Now that we've taken care of the elephant in the room... 1.2647 0.05383 102 80 17 5
1226 So we really need to address the gorilla in the room 1.2647 0.05200 102 79 19 4
1227 I think there's more here than meets the eye. 1.2644 0.06428 87 71 9 7
1228 Just once on our anniversary I wanted to climb the Empire State Building using the stairs 1.2644 0.05535 87 67 17 3
1229 My husband has delusions of grandeur 1.2644 0.06633 87 72 7 8
1230 I don’t see any obvious issues either. Same time next week? 1.2644 0.06633 87 72 7 8
1231 You're sure there's nothing else we ought to discuss? 1.2637 0.05599 91 71 16 4
1232 Can you talk a little more about how you're different? 1.2637 0.05376 91 70 18 3
1233 He's outgrown me 1.2637 0.04645 91 67 24 0
1234 Why? Because you refuse to talk about the elephant in the room. 1.2637 0.06019 91 73 12 6
1235 Well, then *where* can I stick my head? 1.2637 0.05599 91 71 16 4
1236 John, what did you mean when you said you don't 'fit in' with Mary's work friends? 1.2636 0.05729 110 90 11 9
1237 So, what he's trying to communicate is he doesn't feel seen or heard. 1.2636 0.05582 110 89 13 8
1238 I think it’s time we talked about the gorilla in the room. 1.2636 0.05274 110 87 17 6
1239 So when you say you don't see it, what do you mean exactly? 1.2636 0.05274 110 87 17 6
1240 I preferred the elephant. 1.2632 0.05641 95 75 15 5
1241 Sheesh! Who farted?! 1.2632 0.06032 76 59 14 3
1242 But Doris, the elephant wasn’t housebroken either. 1.2632 0.05439 95 74 17 4
1243 We need to talk about the elephant in the room. 1.2632 0.05229 95 73 19 3
1244 We may be starting off on the wrong foot. Define imaginary. 1.2632 0.05837 95 76 13 6
1245 Let's pick this up next week, shall we? And remind my secretary to schedule a session in the conference hall - the ceiling is much higher there. 1.2632 0.06032 76 59 14 3
1246 I take it he’s unwilling to acknowledge the elephant in the room. 1.2632 0.06025 95 77 11 7
1247 Ironic, isn't it? 1.2632 0.05439 95 74 17 4
1248 Maybe we only need to feed him twice a day. 1.2632 0.05641 95 75 15 5
1249 He’s seeing another woman. 1.2632 0.05641 95 75 15 5
1250 I really can't take my eyes off you, Ms. Wray. 1.2632 0.05439 114 92 14 8
1251 Now...you were aware he was a gorilla when you married him, yes? 1.2632 0.05419 76 57 18 1
1252 Maybe the problem isn't as big as you think. 1.2626 0.05483 99 78 16 5
1253 You were right. The larger sofa works better. 1.2625 0.05831 80 62 15 3
1254 Tell me about your parents. 1.2625 0.06096 80 63 13 4
1255 Why in God’s name did you two ever feel this marriage would work. 1.2625 0.06350 80 64 11 5
1256 He knows it's just a metaphor right? 1.2625 0.05831 80 62 15 3
1257 So, how was bridge club? 1.2625 0.06350 80 64 11 5
1258 I’m just not sure which city department we should call first. 1.2621 0.05337 103 81 17 5
1259 I’m afraid Bob elected not to take out the “squashed by miscellaneous large primates” coverage in his life policy. How are you and the kids doing otherwise? 1.2621 0.05155 103 80 19 4
1260 Why don't you start by just stating the obvious? 1.2619 0.05648 84 65 16 3
1261 No shirt. No shoes. No consult. 1.2619 0.05896 84 66 14 4
1262 This feels like a real breakthrough. 1.2619 0.05648 84 65 16 3
1263 So . . . What’s on your mind? 1.2619 0.05896 84 66 14 4
1264 800 pounds? Are you sure? 1.2617 0.05200 107 84 18 5
1265 I still think it's better than the elephant. 1.2617 0.05028 107 83 20 4
1266 So -- Shall we discuss the gorilla in the room?... 1.2614 0.05713 88 69 15 4
1267 You've both grown; some more than others. 1.2614 0.05236 88 67 19 2
1268 If he stands up, we’ll need a new bedroom. 1.2614 0.05937 88 70 13 5
1269 Rather obvious, don’t you think? 1.2614 0.05480 88 68 17 3
1270 I know how you hate cliches, so there's no way I'd bring home an elephant. 1.2613 0.05536 111 90 13 8
1271 I hope he doesn’t think this is the toilet. 1.2613 0.05682 111 91 11 9
1272 is there anything we need to talk about? 1.2609 0.05756 92 73 14 5
1273 What happens if he has to go to the bathroom? 1.2609 0.05536 115 94 12 9
1274 It does better define what it means to "go ape." 1.2609 0.05545 92 72 16 4
1275 Don't tell the roof. Tell her." 1.2609 0.05545 92 72 16 4
1276 But he's housebroken. 1.2609 0.05756 92 73 14 5
1277 Outgrown this relationship 1.2609 0.05325 92 71 18 3
1278 And how does it make you feel, when he carries you to the top of the Empire State Building? 1.2604 0.05389 96 75 17 4
1279 Don’t worry, I have Gorilla Glue. 1.2604 0.05589 96 76 15 5
1280 Well our time's up. Once again, I'll add the cost of ceiling repairs to the bill for this week's session. 1.2604 0.05782 96 77 13 6
1281 I said 'Imagine your husband is sitting next to you'" 1.2604 0.05389 96 75 17 4
1282 You should see his ego.” 1.2604 0.05782 96 77 13 6
1283 ‘At least he’s no longer on your back.’ 1.2604 0.05589 96 76 15 5
1284 I'd like to address the notion that you can "sit anywhere you want to." 1.2603 0.06478 73 58 11 4
1285 You can talk about it here or you can beat your chest all day." 1.2603 0.06177 73 57 13 3
1286 Let’s start with all the things you two have in common. 1.2603 0.06177 73 57 13 3
1287 So what I’m hearing you say is that you’d like your husband to stop monkeying around 1.2600 0.05617 100 80 14 6
1288 I just don’t feel like he truly sees me. 1.2596 0.05633 104 84 13 7
1289 We met at the Empire State Building. 1.2596 0.05112 104 81 19 4
1290 Elephants are for amateurs … 1.2593 0.05768 81 63 15 3
1291 Your monkey is the elephant in the room, so to speak. 1.2593 0.05323 108 86 16 6
1292 What happened to “there’s an elephant in the room”? 1.2593 0.05323 108 86 16 6
1293 So, I think the real 800 pound gorilla in the room is who is going to pay for the damaged ceiling. 1.2593 0.05323 108 86 16 6
1294 When you said your husband had a big ego, I didnt think... 1.2593 0.05323 108 86 16 6
1295 Okay, when you say he never listens, I think I might have a few ideas. 1.2593 0.06280 81 65 11 5
1296 And he's not Jewish. 1.2588 0.05835 85 67 14 4
1297 It was at this moment Linda realized things could, in fact, get worse 1.2588 0.05589 85 66 16 3
1298 I think it's time we address our real problem here—low ceilings. 1.2584 0.05656 89 70 15 4
1299 I think we’ve really had a breakthrough today. 1.2584 0.05656 89 70 15 4
1300 You obviously have too much on your shoulders .... 1.2584 0.05878 89 71 13 5
1301 I think that growth supplement might have been an error. 1.2584 0.05878 89 71 13 5
1302 Face it Joan, he is not a chimp anymore and you have grown apart. 1.2584 0.05878 89 71 13 5
1303 Could you please put some pants on? 1.2584 0.06091 89 72 11 6
1304 I simply suggested he drop in for a drink some evening. 1.2581 0.06097 93 76 10 7
1305 ‘Just ignore him my ass.’ 1.2581 0.05902 93 75 12 6
1306 Where shall we begin? 1.2581 0.05492 93 73 16 4
1307 Andrea, just how exactly did you get this past Customs? 1.2577 0.05913 97 79 11 7
1308 I can see the difficulty both of you have in getting your needs met. 1.2577 0.05340 97 76 17 4
1309 The first thing we like to do in couples therapy, Mrs. Kong, is to remember the romantic excitement of your first days together. 1.2574 0.05912 101 83 10 8
1310 okay, lets start with something you have in common 1.2574 0.05006 101 78 20 3
1311 I wonder what he's looking at 1.2574 0.05200 101 79 18 4
1312 It seems like yesterday when he could climb up onto my lap 1.2574 0.05200 101 79 18 4
1313 Yes,Mrs. Jones,A&M has a better animal husbandry program,but if your boy here plays for us at State,he not only gets a full ride and all the bananas he can eat,but also a booster at Chiquita who is ready with a seven figure NIL deal. 1.2574 0.06078 101 84 8 9
1314 So what seems to be the problem? 1.2571 0.06333 70 55 12 3
1315 So, ideally you’re looking for a two bedroom, open concept tree house with cathedral ceilings…anything else? 1.2571 0.05997 70 54 14 2
1316 Not what i meant by head space 1.2571 0.06956 70 57 8 5
1317 I think our sessions worked better via Zoom. 1.2571 0.05418 105 84 15 6
1318 I thought we were discussing the elephant 1.2569 0.04772 109 84 22 3
1319 He’ll be back to college soon enough. 1.2566 0.04993 113 89 19 5
1320 No I don't know who is testing us, but I told you we should have continued to ignore the elephant. 1.2564 0.05895 78 61 14 3
1321 I suppose you're going to continue to ignore the lack of elephants in the room. 1.2564 0.04879 117 92 20 5
1322 He doesn't climb buildings for me anymore. 1.2564 0.05895 78 61 14 3
1323 Why do you think all men are beasts? 1.2564 0.05895 78 61 14 3
1324 I feel like he’s never present anymore 1.2564 0.06435 78 63 10 5
1325 He threw the elephant in the room out of the building. 1.2561 0.05964 82 65 13 4
1326 I bet you're glad we got the duplex now. 1.2561 0.05706 82 64 15 3
1327 It appears you've made a real breakthrough! 1.2561 0.05435 82 63 17 2
1328 Perhaps we should switch to meeting atop the Empire State Building … no flat roof over there. 1.2558 0.05774 86 68 14 4
1329 Let’s talk about the ‘“You break it, You Own it Workshop”. 1.2558 0.05013 86 65 20 1
1330 Your HMO will not cover the sofa, ceiling, or roof. 1.2558 0.05774 86 68 14 4
1331 Well you got him off your back, now what? 1.2558 0.05279 86 66 18 2
1332 At the risk of being obvious... 1.2558 0.05532 86 67 16 3
1333 So, it started with him not wiping his feet, and now the latest is, he trampled and ate your parents. I’d like to hear from both sides. 1.2558 0.05532 86 67 16 3
1334 Hey, he got rid of the elephant. 1.2556 0.05600 90 71 15 4
1335 My therapy rate just went through the roof. 1.2556 0.05373 90 70 17 3
1336 Have you told the kids about the divorce? 1.2556 0.05600 90 71 15 4
1337 Where did the elephant in the room go? 1.2553 0.06225 94 78 8 8
1338 So, anyway, ... 1.2553 0.05226 94 73 18 3
1339 Would you like to discuss the monkey in the room? 1.2553 0.05647 94 75 14 5
1340 So, after he picked you up, he took you to the Empire State Building? Not a typical first date, I suppose. 1.2553 0.05226 94 73 18 3
1341 I think what Kong is saying is that he DOES listen. He just literally can't hear you... Have you tried screaming? 1.2551 0.05487 98 78 15 5

1353 This is harder than not talking about the elephant. 1.2532 0.06361 79 64 10 5
1354 Son, you do this every time we try to have a serious conversation with you. 1.2532 0.06612 79 65 8 6

1359 What are you talking about? There's no elephant in the room. 1.2530 0.05899 83 66 13 4
1360 So, let me get this straight. Your sexual problems are caused by his overly loud chest thumping during the intercourse? 1.2530 0.05645 83 65 15 3
1361 Well the shelter did say he'd grow on us. 1.2530 0.05899 83 66 13 4

1366 Not sure counseling will work for you guys. 1.2529 0.05944 87 70 12 5
1367 OK, so we can't ignore it any longer. What's bothering you? 1.2529 0.05226 87 67 18 2
1368 Sorry for doubting you Mrs. Roth. He really does go apeshit when he gets mad. 1.2529 0.05944 87 70 12 5
1369 For starters, does it actually say, "Mrs. Kong" on the marriage license? 1.2529 0.05226 87 67 18 2

1376 Let's face it, he's at that awkward age. 1.2527 0.05970 91 74 11 6
1377 The first time, he was only 800 pounds. 1.2526 0.05790 95 77 12 6
1378 I don't really need to tell you what the problem is, do I doctor? 1.2526 0.05593 95 76 14 5
1379 Didn't he used to be an elephant? 1.2526 0.05980 95 78 10 7
1380 It could be worse ... the elephant had a schedule conflict. 1.2526 0.05980 95 78 10 7
1381 Tell me more about your fear of giving him space. 1.2526 0.05389 95 75 16 4
1382 I told you he would outgrow this place. 1.2525 0.04836 99 76 21 2
1383 What do you think she meant, Mr. Kong, when she screamed, "Let me go?" 1.2525 0.05624 99 80 13 6
1384 And this is exactly why our interviews for the next King Kong are moving to Zoom next year. 1.2524 0.05641 103 84 12 7
1385 I wouldn't mention his weight. 1.2524 0.05110 103 81 18 4
1386 For this room, I preferred the elephant 1.2524 0.05293 103 82 16 5
1387 Is there something you're not telling me? 1.2524 0.05293 103 82 16 5
1388 I love your gorilla, but now that his head extends into my apartment, it would be great if you could brush his teeth. 1.2523 0.05194 111 89 16 6
1389 I told you he wouldn't fit in our living room. 1.2500 0.05270 92 72 17 3
1390 You carried her down the Empire State Building and then what? 1.2500 0.05764 80 63 14 3

1394 He insisted. 1.2500 0.05657 88 70 14 4
1395 No matter how much you plan…the house is never big enough. 1.2500 0.06485 72 58 10 4
1396 I should've known when I married an primatologist this would happen. 1.2500 0.05764 80 63 14 3
1397 From where I sit, I'd advise against wasting more money on couples intimacy therapy sessions 1.2500 0.05573 100 81 13 6
1398 He thinks he's an elephant. 1.2500 0.05339 96 76 16 4
1399 I thought you wanted to talk about the elephant in the room. 1.2500 0.05322 84 65 17 2
1400 Maybe you should try giving each other more space. 1.2500 0.05541 96 77 14 5
1401 He represents the NRA. 1.2500 0.06485 72 58 10 4
1402 I told you we'd be needing a place with a cathedral ceiling. 1.2500 0.05735 96 78 12 6
1403 Of course he’s uncomfortable. You’re sitting comfortably and he has to squat out of earshot. 1.2500 0.05764 80 63 14 3
1404 It's ben all downhill since the movie ended. 1.2500 0.05837 84 67 13 4

1406 Let's not track down anymore of your DNA relatives, OK? 1.2500 0.06077 84 68 11 5
1407 Can you think of a way of "recapturing the magic" that doesn't involve scaling a skyscraper or hiring a pilot to shoot at your husband? 1.2500 0.05837 84 67 13 4
1408 No! I said why don't we invite Marilla over. 1.2500 0.06780 72 59 8 5
1409 He's always complaining that I don't give him enough space." "Well, he may have a point. 1.2500 0.05421 88 69 16 3

1413 We have some pretty big things to talk about. 1.2500 0.06063 68 53 13 2
1414 Well, Becky. It looks like you've finally found the gorilla of your dreams." 1.2500 0.05046 84 64 19 1
1415 I think we just had a major breakthrough here. 1.2500 0.05960 76 60 13 3
1416 He says he’s tired of feeling like the second banana. 1.2500 0.06101 88 72 10 6
1417 Well in this case it seems that size does matter 1.2500 0.05837 84 67 13 4
1418 So you're saying your words don't seem to reach his head anymore? 1.2500 0.06101 88 72 10 6
1419 Please stop calling your partner “bananas” 1.2478 0.05263 113 92 14 7
1420 I still don’t understand why the people upstairs couldn’t have just bought the head 1.2475 0.05871 101 84 9 8
1421 What brings you here today? 1.2475 0.05523 101 82 13 6
1422 Now that we have addressed the elephant in the room, let’s move on to more pressing topics. 1.2475 0.04956 101 79 19 3
1423 Well, technically not IN the room. 1.2474 0.05682 97 79 12 6
1424 So you are saying you no longer see eye to eye? 1.2474 0.05083 97 76 18 3
1425 He prefers watching TV upstairs. 1.2473 0.05650 93 75 13 5
1426 Yes, a good marriage requires compromise, but you know full well he can have anything he wants for breakfast. 1.2473 0.05650 93 75 13 5
1427 Before we get started today, does anyone mind if I open a window? 1.2473 0.05220 93 73 17 3
1428 So, we're no longer talking about the elephant. 1.2473 0.05220 93 73 17 3
1429 So you feel like he’s not pulling his weight in this relationship? 1.2473 0.05439 93 74 15 4
1430 Have you ever just sat down and tried to make room for compromise? 1.2473 0.05220 93 73 17 3
1431 Now I'd like to address the 800 lb gorilla in the room. 1.2472 0.05824 89 72 12 5
1432 He looked much smaller in the brochure 1.2472 0.06039 89 73 10 6
1433 OK he's here. Let's talk. 1.2472 0.05600 89 71 14 4
1434 Let's talk about the 800-pound gorilla in the room... 1.2472 0.05367 89 70 16 3
1435 do I hear you saying you need more space? 1.2472 0.05824 89 72 12 5
1436 They said to measure twice. 1.2472 0.06039 89 73 10 6
1437 Well, at least he's housebroken now. 1.2472 0.05367 89 70 16 3
1438 You used to complain about the elephant too. 1.2472 0.05124 89 69 18 2
1439 She used to say she likes the fact that I don't fit in. 1.2472 0.06247 89 74 8 7
1440 Oh well. So much for the elephant in the room. 1.2471 0.06241 85 70 9 6
1441 But what can you offer my daughter besides biplanes plucked from the sky? 1.2471 0.06013 85 69 11 5
1442 ya see, this was a bad idea 1.2471 0.05268 85 66 17 2
1443 We just have to face it, dear, we've all put on a few Covid pounds. 1.2471 0.05775 85 68 13 4
1444 I found him at the Empire State Building. Can we keep him? 1.2471 0.06462 85 71 7 7
1445 I think the main issue in your relationship is space. 1.2471 0.05268 85 66 17 2
1446 Well played. I suppose we will continue to ignore the elephant in the room. 1.2471 0.05775 85 68 13 4
1447 I suggest you both try to rise above petty differences. 1.2469 0.06462 81 67 8 6
1448 In a way, you both feel captured.” 1.2469 0.06219 81 66 10 5
1449 It's actually not uncommon for men, when they're upset, to scale the Empire State Building and get shot at by those little old-timey airplanes with two sets of wings. Can we hold some space for that? Can we accept that it's OK to do that sometimes? 1.2468 0.05891 77 61 13 3
1450 What do you think is the reason that your marriage has not yet been consummated? 1.2468 0.06445 77 63 9 5
1451 No more need to talk about the elephant in the room. 1.2466 0.06101 73 58 12 3
1452 So, can you tell me a little more about your problem with intimacy 1.2466 0.06101 73 58 12 3
1453 In case you can't tell, I'm nodding. 1.2466 0.06101 73 58 12 3

1456 So you like having her in the palm of your hand? 1.2464 0.06973 69 57 7 5
1457 Just getting in this room today was a big step. 1.2462 0.06944 65 53 8 4

1459 'The therapist upstairs has much better rates.' 1.2451 0.05107 102 81 17 4
1460 The problem is he's a dreamer; his head is always in the clouds 1.2449 0.05242 98 78 16 4
1461 You need to give him space. 1.2449 0.05037 98 77 18 3
1462 He thinks your ceilings aren't valid. 1.2449 0.05439 98 79 14 5

1464 I bet he hears no evil from there! 1.2449 0.04824 98 76 20 2
1465 Is there anything else you're hiding from? 1.2447 0.05796 94 77 11 6

1467 Are you planning to have children? 1.2447 0.05387 94 75 15 4
1468 I admire him for his character 1.2447 0.05387 94 75 15 4
1469 'Well. technically, he's not really "in the room," is he? 1.2444 0.05074 90 70 18 2
1470 I knew we never should've moved the TV to the upstairs bedroom. 1.2444 0.04822 90 69 20 1
1471 We need to start talking about the gorilla in the room 1.2444 0.05314 90 71 16 3
1472 Elephant must be on vacation... 1.2442 0.05715 86 69 13 4
1473 Mr. Kong, this isn't the Empire State Building. It's a high-rise condominium overlooking Central Park. 1.2442 0.05949 86 70 11 5
1474 From one New Yorker to another, exactly what are you intentions with my daughter? 1.2442 0.05470 86 68 15 3
1475 What did he mean by, 'Monkey See ... Monkey Do'? 1.2442 0.06603 86 73 5 8
1476 Have you tried a snickers? 1.2442 0.05470 86 68 15 3
1477 Well,at least it's not an elephant. 1.2439 0.06390 82 68 8 6
1478 What part of 'house cat' did you not understand? 1.2439 0.06390 82 68 8 6
1479 Doc, hate to tell you, but I think you have an asbestos problem. 1.2439 0.06390 82 68 8 6
1480 So. Can you explain to me WHY you feel so strongly about not giving him a banana? 1.2436 0.05221 78 60 17 1
1481 See, he can be a total beast, at times, Doc. 1.2436 0.05531 78 61 15 2
1482 So can you commit to keeping the toilet seat down? 1.2436 0.05824 78 62 13 3
1483 I just wish he'd get his head out of the clouds. 1.2432 0.06027 74 59 12 3
1484 Just... are you sure communication is your only problem? 1.2432 0.05711 74 58 14 2
1485 That’s “the ELEPHANT in the room” we’re not supposed to talk about. 1.2432 0.06027 74 59 12 3
1486 Sometimes when I am talking to him it feels like he is in the other room. 1.2432 0.06327 74 60 10 4
1487 Take the 3 Train to Penn Station. A short walk and you'll be at the Empire State Building. 1.2430 0.05116 107 86 16 5
1488 Okay.... so under the section "Relationship History"..... I'm just going to put "Un-Conventional 1.2429 0.06881 70 58 7 5
1489 Well I feel like his head is always in the clouds 1.2429 0.05910 70 55 13 2
1490 I refuse to apologize! It feels like you're never in the room with us and your head is in the clouds Kong! 1.2427 0.05248 103 83 15 5
1491 What do you say we go back to having an elephant in the room instead? 1.2424 0.05195 99 79 16 4
1492 I just don't think you two are seeing eye to eye. 1.2424 0.05390 99 80 14 5
1493 I was hoping for an elephant. 1.2424 0.05195 99 79 16 4

1504 Godzilla, Godzilla, Godzilla, that's all she talks about! 1.2414 0.05887 87 71 11 5
1505 Let's talk about something else. 1.2414 0.05887 87 71 11 5
1506 It all looked so much more magical from the top of the Empire State Building. 1.2414 0.05414 87 69 15 3

1508 And you thought the elephant in the room was bad 1.2414 0.05656 87 70 13 4
1509 Steven, you may have noticed you’ve been going through some changes recently. 1.2414 0.05887 87 71 11 5
1510 I feel like there is something you are not saying. 1.2410 0.05836 83 67 12 4
1511 Other than that, would you say yours is a good relationship? 1.2410 0.05024 83 64 18 1
1512 We're way past elephants, Margaret. 1.2410 0.05579 83 66 14 3

1514 He's a great ape, but a terrible house guest. 1.2407 0.05241 108 88 14 6
1515 As I’ve said all along, the elephant in the room is really the ape on the roof. 1.2405 0.05758 79 63 13 3
1516 Don't you think it's about time we talked about the 50-foot gorilla in the room? 1.2405 0.06033 79 64 11 4
1517 The Abbots think he’s adorable too, but it’s either rent or buy their condo. 1.2405 0.05758 79 63 13 3
1518 So, what are your intentions toward my daughter? 1.2405 0.06297 79 65 9 5
1519 No Fay, your meeting on the top of the Empire State building doesn’t remind me of “An Affair to Remember” and “Sleepless in Seattle” ! 1.2405 0.06297 79 65 9 5
1520 What did you expect by taking Prevogen, Rogaine and that little blue pill ? 1.2405 0.06297 79 65 9 5
1521 He says there's an elephant in the room upstairs. 1.2405 0.06297 79 65 9 5
1522 Wow, you’re really NOT you when you’re hungry! Sorry but I don’t have any Snickers in the house. 1.2405 0.05469 79 62 15 2
1523 A house with a yard isn’t the answer. 1.2405 0.06033 79 64 11 4
1524 Actually honey, I prefer the elephant. 1.2405 0.05758 79 63 13 3
1525 I still think we should address the elephant in the room first 1.2400 0.06250 75 61 10 4

1529 Sometimes I just don’t feel fully seen. 1.2400 0.06250 75 61 10 4
1530 I can’t even remember the last time he took me skyscraper scaling. 1.2400 0.05148 100 80 16 4
1531 Maybe what you need is some space. 1.2400 0.05955 75 60 12 3
1532 In his defense, I did say 'sit anywhere.' 1.2400 0.06532 75 62 8 5
1533 He has to fill every room he’s in. 1.2400 0.06250 75 61 10 4
1534 as you can see his anger has manifested itself in some big ways 1.2396 0.05075 96 76 17 3
1535 I was pleased we dealt with the elephant, but now this? 1.2396 0.05075 96 76 17 3
1536 Poor little Fred always goes ape when we talk about getting a divorce. 1.2396 0.05075 96 76 17 3
1537 We don't use that phrase. He's always been sensitive about his weight. 1.2396 0.05287 96 77 15 4
1538 We’re here to talking about your Empire State of mind 1.2396 0.05490 96 78 13 5
1539 His need for space is just as valid as your wish for more King and less Kong. 1.2394 0.06489 71 58 9 4
1540 But aside from the sex? 1.2394 0.06489 71 58 9 4

1545 So you're saying the sex isn't good? 1.2391 0.05212 92 73 16 3

1560 The schmuck never learned that he was a metaphor. 1.2381 0.05253 84 66 16 2

1565 It's no easier to ignore than the elephant was back in 2020. 1.2381 0.06250 84 70 8 6
1566 Don’t make that face 1.2381 0.06680 63 51 9 3
1567 But King, climbing the Empire State Building is not HER love language 1.2376 0.05477 101 83 12 6
1568 I think we should have just stayed with the elephant. 1.2375 0.05409 80 63 15 2
1569 We should have gone for the house with the high ceilings. 1.2375 0.05694 80 64 13 3
1570 No, we're not going to talk about the gorilla in the room either. 1.2375 0.06225 80 66 9 5
1571 Your boyfriend has some other movie in sight? 1.2375 0.05694 80 64 13 3
1572 I’m nostalgic for when he was 500 pounds. 1.2371 0.05029 97 77 17 3
1573 What makes you suspect he's been seeing the upstairs neighbor, Mrs. Kong? 1.2371 0.05029 97 77 17 3
1574 That's really not an issue. Not at all. No. 1.2371 0.05439 97 79 13 5
1575 Well by ‘elephant in the room’ I meant gorilla out of the room. 1.2368 0.05884 76 61 12 3
1576 While it is well known that opposites often attract, but, be reasonable. Maybe, in some extreme cases, size really does matter most after all. 1.2368 0.05884 76 61 12 3
1577 Don’t you miss the old metaphors? 1.2366 0.05162 93 74 16 3
1578 Now that we’ve addressed the elephant in the room, there’s one more thing we should talk about. 1.2366 0.05596 93 76 12 5
1579 So we took care of the elephant in the room. Let's work on this one now. 1.2366 0.05162 93 74 16 3
1580 I think we have to cut back on the vitamin supplements. 1.2366 0.05383 93 75 14 4

1596 We disagree on most things but he does admit I'm a great cook! 1.2353 0.05461 85 68 14 3

1598 I suppose I'll have to add bananas to the shopping list. 1.2353 0.06327 68 55 10 3

1602 I feel like I don’t even know my husband anymore 1.2353 0.05712 85 69 12 4
1603 You're saying that when you talk to King, he might as well be in another room? Let's explore that. 1.2347 0.05190 98 79 15 4
1604 Looks like he put on some Covid weight. 1.2347 0.05580 98 81 11 6
1605 I only see opportunities. 1.2347 0.05389 98 80 13 5
1606 Remind me why we encouraged Mr. Kong to drop in anytime. 1.2347 0.05580 98 81 11 6
1607 That's funny, I thought he would be an elephant. 1.2346 0.05630 81 65 13 3
1608 So I told him we could just *ask* someone where the Empire State building is... 1.2346 0.05630 81 65 13 3
1609 Maybe in today's session we should reformulate the meaning of an "open relationship. 1.2346 0.05053 81 63 17 1

1620 He just does NOT know how to fit in. What am I to do? 1.2338 0.05514 77 61 14 2
1621 Ok, I can appreciate why you are concerned. But when you read his Match bio and learned that his favorite pastime was climbing the Empire State Building, didn't that give you pause? 1.2338 0.05816 77 62 12 3
1622 Would you like a pillow? 1.2338 0.06102 77 63 10 4

1642 Don't mind me, I was just giving her a lift. 1.2329 0.05694 73 58 13 2

1651 I'm still allergic, but ya get used to it 1.2319 0.06576 69 57 8 4

1653 He says he's been looking for a place to settle. 1.2317 0.06328 82 69 7 6
1654 we all know that therapy is about growth. 1.2317 0.05569 82 66 13 3
1655 And you say you met when he kidnapped you and took you too the empire state building. I’d like to dwell on the ramifications of that incident. 1.2317 0.05569 82 66 13 3
1656 I've had a lot of trouble filling his ex's shoes. 1.2316 0.05489 95 78 12 5
1657 Now let's see how it feels saying that again, but to Janet this time. 1.2316 0.04838 95 75 18 2
1658 The issue here is that he has another session happening upstairs. 1.2316 0.05281 95 77 14 4
1659 I can't see how this is better than the elephant. 1.2316 0.05689 95 79 10 6
1660 Now I know what you meant when you said you needed more space 1.2316 0.05489 95 78 12 5
1661 We used to say at this point “It’s time to discuss the elephant in the room.” 1.2316 0.05883 95 80 8 7
1662 Fay and King. I hope I will be able to help you save your marriage - I'm a big fan of your movies. 1.2315 0.05028 108 88 15 5
1663 I keep trying to tell him Fay Wray isn’t coming back. 1.2308 0.05863 91 76 9 6
1664 It sure was nice when we only had to deal with the elephant in the room. 1.2308 0.06112 65 52 11 2
1665 His fixation on the Empire State Building is something we can work on. 1.2308 0.04961 91 72 17 2
1666 We haven’t even gotten to the elephant in the room. 1.2308 0.06493 65 53 9 3
1667 Why do you feel you are always in his shadow? 1.2308 0.05748 78 63 12 3
1668 I think it's obvious. His monkeying around is the elephant in the room. 1.2308 0.05201 91 73 15 3
1669 Doctor,I feel like he takes up too much space in the relationship. 1.2308 0.06112 65 52 11 2
1670 He is going through a bit of a wee growth period , don’t you think. 1.2308 0.06853 65 54 7 4
1671 But we tried that with Trump and you saw how that worked out. 1.2308 0.05651 91 75 11 5
1672 We’ll he did say he’d drop by to say hello. 1.2308 0.05748 78 63 12 3

1676 In your therapy session last week, we discussed the elephant in the room on your relationship. What would you like to discuss this week? 1.2308 0.05863 91 76 9 6
1677 He's an animal in bed, I just don't know if we want to same things in life anymore. 1.2308 0.06853 65 54 7 4
1678 And to think we objected to the elephant in the room. 1.2300 0.05096 100 81 15 4
1679 I thought you meant your partner was acting like a huge ape metaphorically. 1.2300 0.05291 100 82 13 5
1680 Now that we've finished discussing the elephant in the room, let's move on to the gorilla. 1.2299 0.05827 87 72 10 5
1681 OK clearly you meant something else when you asked if I was a high-ceiling therapist 1.2299 0.05593 87 71 12 4
1682 I like Jessica Lange, you like Fay Wray. Get over it 1.2299 0.05827 87 72 10 5
1683 That banana tree in the roof garden was a mistake. 1.2299 0.05827 87 72 10 5
1684 The problem is obvious. He's the wrong size. 1.2299 0.06052 87 73 8 6
1685 If you really want to save this relationship, you need a larger apartment and a license from the city to keep him indoors. 1.2299 0.05827 87 72 10 5
1686 So, a rabbi, a priest and a gorilla walk into a bar…. 1.2299 0.05593 87 71 12 4
1687 Sorry for the inconvenience. The Dew Drop In Restaurant is upstairs. 1.2299 0.05092 87 69 16 2
1688 I liked it better when we had a cat 1.2299 0.05593 87 71 12 4
1689 I think you're taking your passive aggressiveness to a new level. 1.2299 0.05348 87 70 14 3
1690 At least he’s not on your back. 1.2299 0.05092 87 69 16 2
1691 Obviously he's housebroken. 1.2299 0.05593 87 71 12 4
1692 It's not an elephant so we don't have to talk about it. 1.2297 0.06249 74 61 9 4
1693 Yes honey, you can marry him as long as he agrees to raise your kids Catholic. 1.2297 0.06816 74 63 5 6
1694 I’m starting to think his primal needs aren’t being met in this relationship. 1.2297 0.06816 74 63 5 6
1695 Do you ever feel like the walls are closing in on you? 1.2297 0.06249 74 61 9 4
1696 He is the happy one in the marriage 1.2297 0.05945 74 60 11 3
1697 Now that our elephant in the room has evolved, do you wanna talk about it? 1.2297 0.05625 74 59 13 2
1698 He just sat on the elephant in the room. 1.2294 0.05154 109 90 13 6
1699 Your voice seems muffled today. 1.2292 0.05017 96 77 16 3
1700 OK, let's talk about it, but don't call it an elephant. 1.2292 0.05437 96 79 12 5
1701 You were right. He's even worse at hide-and-seek than he was at charades. 1.2292 0.05635 96 80 10 6
1702 You're gonna' need a bigger organ grinder. 1.2292 0.05437 96 79 12 5
1703 Yes, that is the Empire State Building you can see. 1.2292 0.04794 96 76 18 2
1704 I guess we'll sring for cathedral ceilings next time. 1.2292 0.05437 96 79 12 5
1705 Size is not the issue 1.2292 0.05231 96 78 14 4
1706 You see? He’s doing it again. 1.2292 0.05231 96 78 14 4
1707 Maybe he's a bit troublesome now, but don't you remember when he was the most adorable baby? 1.2289 0.05508 83 67 13 3
1708 He's the upstairs neighbor. He just dropped in. 1.2289 0.05769 83 68 11 4
1709 Should we literally or figuratively complain to the co-op board?" 1.2289 0.04946 83 65 17 1
1710 If he won't engage, I can't help you. 1.2289 0.05769 83 68 11 4
1711 It’s best to ignore him. 1.2289 0.05769 83 68 11 4
1712 All relationships lose some of their initial passion over the years, Mrs. Kong 1.2289 0.05235 83 66 15 2
1713 Beating his chest may not be about you. 1.2289 0.05769 83 68 11 4
1714 I couldn't deal with that elephant 1.2289 0.05769 83 68 11 4
1715 OK, you're right... it's not an elephant. Could we acknowledge the GORILLA in the room? 1.2289 0.05769 83 68 11 4
1716 he's always been big for his age 1.2289 0.05235 83 66 15 2
1717 So, is King an official title? 1.2289 0.05508 83 67 13 3
1718 Is this going to be the same as the elephant? Are we never going to talk about it? 1.2289 0.06018 83 69 9 5
1719 Soooo, how about those Mets? 1.2286 0.06490 70 58 8 4
1720 I remember when he was a trim, fit 800 pounds. 1.2286 0.06163 70 57 10 3
1721 Well, that’s the end of the remote. 1.2283 0.05595 92 76 11 5
1722 Kong fears you are grooming someone on the side. 1.2283 0.05377 92 75 13 4
1723 I think you need to recognize that he may never change very much. 1.2283 0.05150 92 74 15 3
1724 I think he can see other people. 1.2283 0.05150 92 74 15 3
1725 He’s just somebody that I used to know 1.2283 0.05804 92 77 9 6
1726 Looks like the bananas you’ve been putting in his lunchbox are GMOs afterall” 🍌 1.2283 0.05595 92 76 11 5
1727 I see a new opening for dialogue here 1.2278 0.05079 79 62 16 1
1728 If it’s all the same to you, I’d like to address the elephant in the other room. 1.2278 0.06228 79 66 8 5
1729 Let's get our idioms straight, shall we? 1.2278 0.06228 79 66 8 5
1730 George, how do you respond to Linda saying you destroy things everywhere you go? 1.2278 0.05961 79 65 10 4
1731 There can be situations when it's quite natural to feel threatened. 1.2278 0.06228 79 66 8 5
1732 How long is your brother going to stay? 1.2278 0.05079 79 62 16 1
1733 You can't say I didn't warn you about accepting that gift from Jane Goodall. 1.2278 0.05961 79 65 10 4
1734 Why do you say he hasn’t evolved? 1.2278 0.05683 79 64 12 3
1735 Did counting to ten help at all? 1.2278 0.05390 79 63 14 2
1736 Just when we thought the elephant in the room was our biggest issue... 1.2278 0.05683 79 64 12 3
1737 I think there are some real issues here, it's not just that he's low on potassium 1.2278 0.05079 79 62 16 1
1738 You seem to have developed a lot of your mothers coping mechanisms - you mentioned she was part Ostrich? 1.2278 0.05390 79 63 14 2
1739 Would you say this is his typical response to conflict? 1.2278 0.06228 79 66 8 5
1740 I just don't understand why he always has to have his head in the clouds. 1.2277 0.05050 101 82 15 4
1741 Monkey Pox is the least of your worries. 1.2273 0.06403 66 54 9 3
1742 You need a pedicure and a manicure. 1.2273 0.05535 88 72 12 4
1743 Not your typical "elephant in the room" is it?! 1.2273 0.04775 88 69 18 1
1744 No, you don' t have permission to marry my daughter. 1.2273 0.07094 66 56 5 5
1745 I was happier with the elephant. 1.2273 0.05294 88 71 14 3
1746 Maybe couples therapy isn't the answer. 1.2273 0.06758 66 55 7 4
1747 Learning to see eye to eye would be a good start. 1.2273 0.05041 88 70 16 2
1748 She just doesn't understand my issues are a little bit bigger than that 1.2273 0.05535 88 72 12 4
1749 And who would you say wears the pants in your relationship? 1.2273 0.05535 88 72 12 4
1750 We should have noticed the size of his paws. 1.2273 0.06758 66 55 7 4
1751 So, how long are your parents planning to stay with us? 1.2273 0.05766 88 73 10 5
1752 Well, I had a top-floor office in the Empire State Building, and one day, there he is outside my window. 1.2273 0.05766 88 73 10 5
1753 I’m here, aren’t I?!? 1.2273 0.05629 66 52 13 1
1754 Yeah, he does that 1.2273 0.05294 88 71 14 3
1755 And, Mr. Kong, what was the long-term relationship plan after climbing the empire state building? 1.2273 0.05629 66 52 13 1
1756 Next session we'll discuss the elephant in the room. 1.2268 0.05582 97 81 10 6
1757 Well, we didn't talk about the elephant and look how that turned out. 1.2267 0.06173 75 62 9 4
1758 Please let me know if you need to pee. 1.2267 0.05874 75 61 11 3
1759 And what's your story? Er, two stories? Three? 1.2267 0.05874 75 61 11 3
1760 I thought it was a cliche'. 1.2267 0.05874 75 61 11 3
1761 I don't think your insurance covers this. 1.2267 0.05224 75 59 15 1
1762 Say more about how "you feel you have a hard time fitting in." 1.2267 0.05558 75 60 13 2
1763 So, you said people often ignore you? 1.2262 0.05179 84 67 15 2
1764 He SITS AROUND the house! 1.2262 0.05179 84 67 15 2
1765 He came to join the elephant in the room. 1.2262 0.05449 84 68 13 3
1766 Elephant? 1.2262 0.05449 84 68 13 3
1767 It's not exactly an elephant in the living room, but close enough. 1.2262 0.05952 84 70 9 5
1768 He ignores us because we're the problem in his room. 1.2262 0.05706 84 69 11 4
1769 You were right. Next time we’ll pick the runt of the litter. 1.2262 0.05706 84 69 11 4
1770 Damn! First it was the elephant - now this. 1.2262 0.06189 84 71 7 6
1771 He needs some air. 1.2262 0.05706 84 69 11 4
1772 Honey. It's time we talked about the 800-pound gorilla in the room. 1.2258 0.05325 93 76 13 4
1773 OK, let's talk about why you feel you need more space 1.2258 0.06264 62 50 10 2
1774 There’s only him in the relationship 1.2258 0.05826 62 49 12 1
1775 Did you have something you wanted to talk about. 1.2255 0.05196 102 84 13 5
1776 Sorry, but the elephant broke the table last week 1.2255 0.05196 102 84 13 5
1777 There are many challenges, in an interfaith marriage. 1.2254 0.05743 71 57 12 2
1778 I feel like we don't see eye to eye 1.2254 0.06406 71 59 8 4
1779 I also do individual counselling but only on weekends 1.2252 0.04735 111 90 17 4
1780 Ask him if he plays bridge. 1.2250 0.05618 80 65 12 3
1781 How is this better than the elephant in the room? 1.2250 0.05893 80 66 10 4
1782 I'm really grateful that your Mother-In-Law agreed to attend this therapy session. Lets begin. 1.2250 0.06156 80 67 8 5
1783 I think its time junior gets his own place 1.2250 0.05893 80 66 10 4
1784 When you say there are irreconcilable differences between you and Mrs, Kong, what exactly do you mean? 1.2250 0.05893 80 66 10 4
1785 I told you he had a thing for the blonde upstairs 1.2250 0.05893 80 66 10 4
1786 I'd say we've had a breakthrough this session. 1.2250 0.05024 80 63 16 1
1787 Mr. Kong, abdicating your crown to be with the woman you love can't have been easy. Would you like to share your feelings about it? 1.2250 0.05329 80 64 14 2
1788 Who measured for the remodel? 1.2250 0.05329 80 64 14 2
1789 You can’t control the situation but you can control your reaction. 1.2250 0.05893 80 66 10 4
1790 I know what you mean, my corgi is quite the shedder too. 1.2250 0.05329 80 64 14 2
1791 If you want to make this relationship work, you have to accept that you won't always see eye to eye. 1.2250 0.05893 80 66 10 4
1792 I have to be honest with you, it’s unusual to keep Thanksgiving Day balloons. 1.2250 0.05893 80 66 10 4
1793 So which floor has the best view? 1.2250 0.05893 80 66 10 4
1794 Are you quite sure there's nothing more you'd like to talk about? 1.2247 0.04728 89 70 18 1
1795 If you don't mind, I'd rather not talk about it. 1.2247 0.05240 89 72 14 3
1796 Thank you, that was great. Now let's see if he has a different perspective. 1.2239 0.06665 67 56 7 4
1797 I just feel uneasy, but I can’t explain why. 1.2239 0.06665 67 56 7 4
1798 Well, I thought ignoring him upstairs was going really well. 1.2239 0.05947 67 54 11 2
1799 Forget the skyscraper. Is he supportive around the house? 1.2237 0.05493 76 61 13 2
1800 So, George, how does it feel when Janine calls you a big hairy ape? Do you feel seen? 1.2237 0.05493 76 61 13 2
1801 He’s just a pain in the neck. 1.2237 0.06098 76 63 9 4
1802 I see what you mean about having his head in the clouds. 1.2237 0.05164 76 60 15 1
1803 You're asking ME about the elephant in the room‽ 1.2237 0.06098 76 63 9 4
1804 I guess we’ll have to discuss the 500 pound gorilla in the room. 1.2237 0.06098 76 63 9 4
1805 Can we hurry this up? I have a plane to catch. 1.2237 0.05493 76 61 13 2
1806 Can you at least try to look at me when I’m talking to you? 1.2237 0.05803 76 62 11 3
1807 What I'm hearing is that you don't always think he deserves to be called King. 1.2235 0.05391 85 69 13 3
1808 Have you considered higher ceilings? 1.2235 0.05391 85 69 13 3
1809 When you asked if your friend could crash on our couch this is not what I had envisioned. 1.2235 0.05645 85 70 11 4
1810 I suppose someone has to say it,but I think we should discuss the elephant now that he isn’t in the room. 1.2235 0.05888 85 71 9 5
1811 He did ask for a room with a view. 1.2235 0.05645 85 70 11 4
1812 But grunting IS his love language. 1.2235 0.05125 85 68 15 2
1813 It’s hard for us to see eye to eye 1.2235 0.05391 85 69 13 3
1814 I see why you requested an in-home session. 1.2235 0.05645 85 70 11 4
1815 So how did you two meet? 1.2234 0.05052 94 76 15 3
1816 I told you we should have talked about the elephant. 1.2234 0.05691 94 79 9 6
1817 Have you and Skyline Tours discussed salary? 1.2234 0.05691 94 79 9 6
1818 I really think we should address the gorilla in the room 1.2234 0.05486 94 78 11 5
1819 You can lead Kong to a shrink but you can’t make him shrink. 1.2222 0.06174 63 51 10 2
1820 Are we going to talk about the giant gorilla in the room? 1.2222 0.06007 72 59 10 3
1821 Okay so you feel you don't see eye to eye. Let's unpack that a little. 1.2222 0.05672 72 58 12 2
1822 How long have you imagined yourself to be Fay Wray? 1.2222 0.06174 63 51 10 2
1823 I thought that having a roommate would help pay for the repairs... 1.2222 0.06626 72 61 6 5
1824 I thought we were trying to avoid talking about the elephant in the room! 1.2222 0.04881 99 80 16 3
1825 Who's your new friend? 1.2222 0.05423 90 74 12 4
1826 Your husband says you take up too much space in the bed 1.2222 0.05827 81 67 10 4
1827 At least he won’t be stoping around upstairs anymore. 1.2222 0.06324 72 60 8 4
1828 So Mr. Kong, is it true you are having trouble fitting in… 1.2222 0.05672 72 58 12 2
1829 I guess it’s the elephant’s day off 1.2222 0.05317 108 91 10 7
1830 It feels like he's not hearing either of us. 1.2222 0.06086 81 68 8 5
1831 I think we've talked enough about the gorilla for now, maybe we can turn our attention to the elephant. 1.2222 0.05270 81 65 14 2
1832 To be honest, after so many sessions I’m not sure why you think you’re incompatible. 1.2222 0.05087 99 81 14 4
1833 ‘Have you tried bananas? 1.2222 0.06086 81 68 8 5
1834 Maybe it’s time we address the gorilla in the room 1.2222 0.05188 90 73 14 3
1835 ‘It’s not really as bad as it seems, he has a kind soul.’ 1.2222 0.05672 72 58 12 2
1836 Most people often overlook the sixth stage of grief: gorilla. 1.2222 0.06007 72 59 10 3
1837 Does he do this at home? 1.2211 0.05223 95 78 13 4
1838 I forgot my mask 1.2211 0.05433 95 79 11 5
1839 I see you’ve been to the pet store again. 1.2209 0.05585 86 71 11 4
1840 Didn’t you say there was an elephant in the room? 1.2209 0.05825 86 72 9 5
1841 He followed me home, can I keep him? 1.2209 0.05825 86 72 9 5
1842 OK, are we done with the idioms now? 1.2209 0.05072 86 69 15 2
1843 So, Ann, how would you say your relationship has evolved? 1.2209 0.05335 86 70 13 3
1844 I come home early and, you claim Kong was in the neighborhood and happened to just drop in. Ann, really? How can you expect me to believe there's no monkey business is gong on?" 1.2209 0.05072 86 69 15 2
1845 In my experience, scaling the empire state building is generally a sign of bigger issues. 1.2209 0.05335 86 70 13 3
1846 Worrying about the state of the world makes sense, but it’s important to compartmentalize. 1.2209 0.05335 86 70 13 3
1847 Honey, perhaps you saw this coming but…there is something I need to talk to you about 1.2209 0.04794 86 68 17 1
1848 Enough with our plus-size progressiveness. 1.2208 0.06026 77 64 9 4
1849 Sorry for dropping in unannounced. 1.2208 0.05735 77 63 11 3
1850 He won't admit it but he's seeing other women. 1.2208 0.05429 77 62 13 2
1851 Perhaps we can train him to be our emotional support animal. 1.2208 0.05735 77 63 11 3
1852 At least we're not dealing with a glass ceiling issue. 1.2208 0.05735 77 63 11 3
1853 As you can probably see, we repainted your old room and decided to put the monkey bars in the backyard. 1.2206 0.06231 68 56 9 3
1854 I understand his post-traumatic stress but, Ms. Wray, your friend must work on the agoraphobia. 1.2206 0.06231 68 56 9 3
1855 No. It’s important you look at Betty when she is telling us how she feels. 1.2206 0.05482 68 54 13 1
1856 I thought elephant in the room was bad enough but gorilla.... 1.2206 0.06574 68 57 7 4
1857 Couldn’t your brother have stayed at the hotel with the other fursuiters? 1.2206 0.06231 68 56 9 3
1858 But honey, the ultrasound was perfectly normal. 1.2206 0.06574 68 57 7 4
1859 Now that we’re all comfortable, let’s begin. 1.2206 0.05066 68 53 15 0
1860 He hasn’t climbed the Empire State Building for me in years. 1.2206 0.05869 68 55 11 2
1861 he just takes up so much space in the relationship 1.2206 0.07211 68 59 3 6
1862 It's just the next step of the evolution 1.2206 0.06231 68 56 9 3
1863 Has he gotten over his penchant for climbing tall buildings? 1.2200 0.04837 100 81 16 3
1864 Next time you agree to house-sit dear, I would get a few more details. 1.2200 0.05041 100 82 14 4
1865 And that's another reason I'm glad we bought the penthouse. 1.2198 0.04893 91 73 16 2
1866 As usual, Lois, I have no idea what you are talking about. 1.2195 0.05762 82 68 10 4
1867 Actually, we can still tell it where to sit – it’s only 795 pounds. 1.2195 0.05494 82 67 12 3
1868 Technically it's not entirely IN the room so I need not address it. 1.2195 0.05762 82 68 10 4
1869 But he was so cute and cuddly when we first brought him home. 1.2195 0.05762 82 68 10 4
1870 It is all right to ignore him. He's only partially in the room. 1.2195 0.05494 82 67 12 3
1871 I thought you said it was human growth hormone. 1.2195 0.04916 82 65 16 1
1872 What will you do if it farts? 1.2195 0.06017 82 69 8 5
1873 There are days when I really miss the elephant. 1.2195 0.05762 82 68 10 4
1874 It would have been nice if you asked me first. 1.2195 0.05494 82 67 12 3
1875 I invited the elephant but he couldn't make it. 1.2195 0.05494 82 67 12 3
1876 This may not be obvious to you, but the most challenging aspect of your relationship is that you don’t see eye to eye on a number of issues. 1.2195 0.05762 82 68 10 4
1877 I think you misunderstood what I meant by personal growth. 1.2195 0.05762 82 68 10 4
1878 But let’s just focus on you. 1.2195 0.05762 82 68 10 4
1879 Your husbands a grown man 1.2195 0.05762 82 68 10 4
1880 Your choice: animal shelter or taxidermist. 1.2192 0.06244 73 61 8 4
1881 You realize interacial marriages are barely tolerated in a red state like ours -- this will make Ted Cruz go ape shit. 1.2192 0.06244 73 61 8 4
1882 I don't know what we said but he absolutely went through the roof! 1.2192 0.06244 73 61 8 4
1883 If he can stop smoking for a year I don't see any obstacles for your husband to qualify for a lower premium." 1.2192 0.05251 73 58 14 1
1884 Well, normally we would start by discussing the elephant in the room... 1.2192 0.05932 73 60 10 3
1885 We haven’t climbed the Empire State Building in months. 1.2192 0.05932 73 60 10 3
1886 Does he always make this much of a scene? 1.2192 0.06542 73 62 6 5
1887 No, I don't think it's an elephant in the room. 1.2192 0.05932 73 60 10 3
1888 Did I mention I'm doing my own research on monkeypox? 1.2192 0.06244 73 61 8 4
1889 Acknowledging that he's in the room is the first step 1.2192 0.05932 73 60 10 3
1890 The elephant was sick today. 1.2188 0.05381 96 80 11 5
1891 The family upstairs is watching King Kong. 1.2188 0.06087 64 52 10 2
1892 We need to move beyond the elephant in the room 1.2188 0.06087 64 52 10 2
1893 Now this is what I call a breakthrough! 1.2184 0.05526 87 72 11 4
1894 Fay, I told you he'd follow you home . . . 1.2184 0.05279 87 71 13 3
1895 Perhaps you should cut back on those steroids, son 1.2184 0.05019 87 70 15 2
1896 You’re wife says you’re afraid of heights and you won’t talk about it. 1.2184 0.05279 87 71 13 3
1897 He ALWAYS sticks his nose in other people’s businesses 1.2184 0.05279 87 71 13 3
1898 My mother said it would never work. 1.2179 0.05366 78 63 13 2
1899 Perhaps our first step, Carol, is acknowledging that he's more than the 800-pound gorilla in the room, and that he's not even entirely in the room. 1.2179 0.05668 78 64 11 3
1900 Perhaps Michael just wants you to acknowledge him. 1.2179 0.05668 78 64 11 3
1901 But it's a Gorilla, not an Elephant!! 1.2179 0.05366 78 63 13 2
1902 So hon, what was it you wanted to talk to me about? 1.2179 0.05366 78 63 13 2
1903 I mean he's literally sitting ON the co-op board. 1.2179 0.06228 78 66 7 5
1904 The ceilings were high enough when we adopted him. 1.2179 0.05046 78 62 15 1
1905 To save your marriage, we've got to talk about the elephant in the room. 1.2179 0.05954 78 65 9 4
1906 There’s an elephant in here. 1.2179 0.05668 78 64 11 3
1907 It’s her or me 1.2179 0.05954 78 65 9 4
1908 I take it you didn’t come of your own accord? 1.2178 0.05378 101 85 10 6
1909 Please call upstairs and have them change the channel. 1.2174 0.05792 69 56 11 2
1910 So you're upset because he leaves the toilet seat up. 1.2174 0.05086 92 75 14 3
1911 I just feel like he’s always got his head in the clouds 1.2174 0.05411 69 55 13 1
1912 I guess... i'm really concerned that he's seeing other people 1.2174 0.06486 69 58 7 4
1913 Could oversize expectations be part of the problem, Mrs Kong? 1.2174 0.06149 69 57 9 3
1914 Honestly, Doc, I do find him a bit apish at times. 1.2174 0.05086 92 75 14 3
1915 At least it isn’t an elephant. 1.2169 0.05156 83 67 14 2
1916 In my humble opinion, incompatible love language is not the problem. 1.2169 0.05950 83 70 8 5
1917 You need to evolve along with your wife for this marriage to work. 1.2169 0.05434 83 68 12 3
1918 He hit the roof when I told him he couldn’t stay with us anymore. 1.2169 0.05434 83 68 12 3
1919 I believe he is thinking of saving someone else even now. 1.2169 0.05156 83 67 14 2
1920 Still, I don’t see any problem with you taking Anna to the prom. 1.2169 0.05698 83 69 10 4
1921 In his defense, this city can be hard on alpha males. 1.2167 0.05867 60 48 11 1
1922 The baby formula substitute seems to have had complications. 1.2167 0.06761 60 50 7 3
1923 But he leaves so much hair in the bathtub. 1.2165 0.04910 97 79 15 3
1924 So, Vera, tell me why exactly you think David’s behavior is sometimes primitive? 1.2162 0.06166 74 62 8 4
1925 I would acknowledge the three-month gorilla in the room, but I suspect it's your mother. 1.2162 0.05858 74 61 10 3
1926 So you think you have compatibility issues? 1.2162 0.05533 74 60 12 2
1927 Why don’t you come down so we can discuss your concerns. 1.2162 0.05533 74 60 12 2
1928 Our drop-in policy is apparently vague. 1.2162 0.05188 74 59 14 1
1929 It's not uncommon for the thrill of dating to ebb as you settle into domesticity. Maybe try a date night to recreate that excitement. I hear the Empire State building is lovely this time of year. 1.2162 0.05858 74 61 10 3
1930 Well, I feel that we had a real breakthrough today. 1.2162 0.06460 74 63 6 5
1931 So you want to understand why someone that sweeps you off your feet also makes you feel small and insignificant? 1.2162 0.06460 74 63 6 5
1932 Fay, can you tell Kong how he can be less clingy? 1.2162 0.06166 74 62 8 4
1933 It’s just so difficult to see eye-to-eye with him. 1.2162 0.05533 74 60 12 2
1934 No, Mrs Kong, size doesn’t matter 1.2159 0.05225 88 72 13 3
1935 It does seat two nicely. 1.2159 0.04698 88 70 17 1
1936 It's either him or me. 1.2159 0.04968 88 71 15 2
1937 So, Mr. And Mrs. Kong, what seems to be the problem? 1.2157 0.04951 102 84 14 4
1938 What Elephant?” 1.2155 0.05020 116 98 11 7
1939 Bobo, Cynthia and I feel that now that you have a job, it's time that you should considering finding your own place. 1.2154 0.07102 65 56 4 5
1940 As I said, there is no elephant in the room sweetheart. 1.2154 0.06755 65 55 6 4
1941 I think what your husband is trying to say, is that his primitive instincts and urges are going unnoticed and need to be satisfied 1.2154 0.06755 65 55 6 4
1942 Are there any glaring incompatibilities between you two? 1.2152 0.05885 79 66 9 4
1943 Oh My God Stella, we just got rid of the elephant!! 1.2152 0.05885 79 66 9 4
1944 Yes, more space is needed in this relationship. 1.2152 0.05305 79 64 13 2
1945 So, why do you think you and Fay are having issues? 1.2152 0.06155 79 67 7 5
1946 Thank you for coming,sir. I know it is difficult for you to attend our sessions. 1.2152 0.05603 79 65 11 3
1947 He does this sometimes when he's not feeling seen. 1.2152 0.05603 79 65 11 3
1948 "You never told me your brother has only 8 toes. 1.2152 0.05305 79 64 13 2
1949 Well, is there anything about this experience you found exciting 1.2152 0.04990 79 63 15 1
1950 No you can’t leave yet, we’re just getting into why your parents split up 1.2152 0.05885 79 66 9 4
1951 We've got to talk about the elephant in the room. 1.2151 0.05481 93 78 10 5
1952 He gets really frustrated when I call him the 800 pound gorilla. He prefers to be called the elephant in the room. 1.2150 0.04974 107 89 13 5
1953 So, his affair with the upstairs neighbor came as a complete surprise? 1.2143 0.05342 70 56 13 1
1954 But Manchin says it's not a problem. 1.2143 0.05885 84 71 8 5
1955 I think I might prefer for the elephant to be in the room 1.2143 0.05101 84 68 14 2
1956 I realize it is NOT a pink elephant but.... 1.2143 0.05375 84 69 12 3
1957 Be careful what you wish for, Ann. 1.2143 0.06716 70 60 5 5
1958 Before we begin, can I get you anything? Coffee, tea... a crate of bananas 1.2143 0.06400 70 59 7 4
1959 It seems he has an edifice complex 1.2143 0.05636 84 70 10 4
1960 To him, you're the 800-pound gorilla in this relationship. 1.2143 0.05342 70 56 13 1
1961 He prefers to be called the 362.874 kilogram gorilla. 1.2143 0.06068 70 58 9 3
1962 So you didn’t see any roadblocks when you started this relationship? 1.2143 0.06068 70 58 9 3
1963 And you thought it was the elephant in the room? 1.2143 0.06068 70 58 9 3
1964 Now that you've described your husband's behavior, Mrs. Peabody, turn to him and tell him how you really feel. 1.2143 0.06400 70 59 7 4
1965 So we’re still not talking about it? 1.2143 0.07078 56 47 6 3
1966 I think our son is overdoing it with the steroids" 1.2143 0.05101 84 68 14 2
1967 I wonder who lives upstairs? 1.2143 0.05717 70 57 11 2
1968 Sorry,but insurance only covers the elephant. 1.2143 0.05280 98 82 11 5
1969 I got the results of the DNA test Helen 1.2143 0.05375 84 69 12 3
1970 It's hardly appropriate to ask him to take his hat off inside when the hat is still outside. 1.2136 0.04503 103 83 18 2
1971 Other than that, how is he in bed? 1.2135 0.05171 89 73 13 3
1972 I really can't see where your head is at 1.2135 0.05171 89 73 13 3
1973 Each of you needs to give your partner some room. It always stresses a relationship when partners come from different backgrounds. 1.2135 0.04918 89 72 15 2
1974 So, tell me. How did you two first meet? 1.2135 0.05171 89 73 13 3
1975 Not a great conversationalist, is he. 1.2135 0.05412 89 74 11 4
1976 I told you not to rub the bottle. 1.2135 0.05171 89 73 13 3
1977 You think she's blowing things out of proportion? 1.2135 0.04918 89 72 15 2
1978 I shouldn't have asked him to sit up. 1.2135 0.05412 89 74 11 4
1979 Mr. Kong, I understand you're upset the Texas Government won't do anything about gun reform. But that doesn't excuse you from climbing the Empire State Building in a fit of rage. 1.2133 0.06379 75 64 6 5
1980 Now in order to have any hope of making strides in marital therapy, Marge, I think you must be willing to confront the 800 pound gorilla in the room. 1.2133 0.05787 75 62 10 3
1981 I know what you mean. I also miss the elephant. 1.2133 0.05127 75 60 14 1
1982 I see what you mean when you called and said your husband was a beast. 1.2133 0.05467 75 61 12 2
1983 Always monkeying around, head in clouds, and heavy sleeper-- anything else?" 1.2133 0.05127 75 60 14 1
1984 New York is not for everybody. 1.2133 0.05787 75 62 10 3
1985 Carol, we discussed you bringing your work home with you. 1.2133 0.05787 75 62 10 3
1986 Well at least it gives us an excuse to finally remodel this room. 1.2133 0.06090 75 63 8 4
1987 I’m sure your Father meant well. 1.2133 0.05787 75 62 10 3
1988 Toilet? Sorry, no - we don't have a toilet. 1.2131 0.07057 61 52 5 4
1989 Sometimes I don't want to be rescued 1.2131 0.07435 61 53 3 5
1990 Please, next time use the door. 1.2131 0.05780 61 49 11 1
1991 So he calls you Ding Dong and you call him...? 1.2131 0.07057 61 52 5 4
1992 Have you two considered role play? Ann, how would you feel if Kong were to dress up as Godzilla? 1.2128 0.05427 94 79 10 5
1993 I bet we’ll get major pushback from our insurer on this claim”. 1.2128 0.05427 94 79 10 5
1994 I just feel we don't see eye to eye. 1.2128 0.05427 94 79 10 5
1995 I think you need a better shrink. 1.2128 0.05634 94 80 8 6
1996 sorry about that, it's my neighbor's immersive streaming service acting up again 1.2128 0.05427 94 79 10 5
1997 Where the Wild Things Are Now 1.2125 0.05539 80 66 11 3
1998 Look, I think it's time we address the 900 pound gorilla partially in the room 1.2125 0.06083 80 68 7 5
1999 It's hard to read his mind. 1.2125 0.05245 80 65 13 2
2000 Unfortunately, this is what happens when you don't address the 5,000 pound gorilla in the room. 1.2125 0.05245 80 65 13 2
2001 The sitter just cancelled. 1.2125 0.05817 80 67 9 4
2002 At least he’s not halfway out the door. 1.2125 0.05245 80 65 13 2
2003 I feel like this is a metaphor for something. 1.2121 0.06301 66 55 8 3
2004 What I’m hearing is that Kong wants you to do the chasing once in a while. 1.2121 0.06301 66 55 8 3
2005 They were a little too insistent at the co-op meeting about not having a dog. 1.2118 0.05047 85 69 14 2
2006 I told you we should have rented in Queens 1.2118 0.05575 85 71 10 4
2007 Do we have enough bamboo shoots for everybody? 1.2118 0.05575 85 71 10 4
2008 I can hear them up there talking about us again! 1.2118 0.05047 85 69 14 2
2009 If this marriage is to survive, you two need to resolve some basic issues. 1.2118 0.05575 85 71 10 4
2010 I told you we would have been better off with an elephant. 1.2113 0.06317 71 60 7 4
2011 Just his way of social distancing. 1.2113 0.06628 71 61 5 5
2012 I know it's not an elephant. I still think we should talk about it. 1.2113 0.06628 71 61 5 5
2013 They say an 800-lb. gorilla sits anywhere it wants to. 1.2113 0.05275 71 57 13 1
2014 His ego is simply too big. 1.2113 0.06317 71 60 7 4
2015 So this all began when you were offered a role in what you were told was a Hollywood movie. 1.2111 0.04869 90 73 15 2
2016 Well, I think it's better than him staring in our window. 1.2111 0.05119 90 74 13 3
2017 Of course we should at least consider his point of view.” 1.2111 0.04869 90 73 15 2
2018 I think he's joined you here today because he doesn't always *feel* like the Eighth Wonder of the World. 1.2111 0.04605 90 72 17 1
2019 I never liked that ceiling anyway. 1.2105 0.05402 76 62 12 2
2020 Well, try to put yourself in her size, see how you'd feel! 1.2105 0.05402 76 62 12 2
2021 How big is he gonna get? 1.2105 0.05161 95 79 12 4
2022 Well, you two have some pretty obvious boundary issues; I’d offer that as a good place to start, if he can hear me. 1.2105 0.05402 76 62 12 2
2023 For next week, we can start meeting again by Zoom. 1.2105 0.06016 76 64 8 4
2024 I want you to try seeing eye to eye on this 1.2105 0.05402 76 62 12 2
2025 The firefighter you met at the Empire State Building is where now? 1.2105 0.06016 76 64 8 4
2026 We need to talk about the 800-pound gorilla mostly in the room. 1.2105 0.05717 76 63 10 3
2027 Actually it's time to stop talking about the elephant. 1.2105 0.05161 95 79 12 4
2028 So Ann Darrow, or should I say Fay Wray? Who is with you today? 1.2105 0.04940 95 78 14 3
2029 Well, this proves the point... Three really is a crowd! 1.2099 0.05187 81 66 13 2
2030 Frankly, I preferred the elephant in the room. 1.2099 0.05476 81 67 11 3
2031 How about a trip to New York to rekindle the flame? 1.2099 0.05751 81 68 9 4
2032 We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. 1.2099 0.05751 81 68 9 4
2033 What do you mean, it's a beautiful view of the Empire State Building? 1.2099 0.05751 81 68 9 4
2034 I've had experience with elephants in the room - this is a first. 1.2099 0.05476 81 67 11 3
2035 No means, no. 1.2099 0.05751 81 68 9 4
2036 Okay, let's talk about the 800-pound gorilla in the room. 1.2099 0.05751 81 68 9 4
2037 Mr. Counselor, My husband and I can't see eye to eye. 1.2099 0.05476 81 67 11 3
2038 And we gave up our cat because the building doesn't allow pets. 1.2099 0.04880 81 65 15 1
2039 I just feel like his head’s always elsewhere 1.2099 0.05187 81 66 13 2

2041 We just haven’t been seeing each other eye to eye lately 1.2099 0.05476 81 67 11 3
2042 Why yes...you CAN see the Empire State Building from here. 1.2097 0.06560 62 52 7 3
2043 What part of 'no pets' do our neighbors not understand? 1.2097 0.06951 62 53 5 4
2044 He dragged me all the way up here and now he won't even talk. 1.2097 0.06560 62 52 7 3
2045 Good, Larry! You’re having a breakthrough! 1.2097 0.06143 62 51 9 2
2046 I agree, his ego has gone through the roof! 1.2097 0.06951 62 53 5 4
2047 We may have a problem when his mom comes to visit. 1.2097 0.06143 62 51 9 2

2051 What elephant in the room? 1.2093 0.05515 86 72 10 4
2052 Well, Mrs. Kong, today’s breakthrough coupled with last week’s feces-hurling incident means I’m going to need your co-pay up front. 1.2093 0.05515 86 72 10 4
2053 It just hasn’t been the same since we were on the top of the Empire State Building. 1.2093 0.04994 86 70 14 2
2054 I dunno, Doc. It’s like he constantly makes me feel small. 1.2093 0.05261 86 71 12 3
2055 Mr.Kong, in couples therapy, it's referred to as the elephant in the room. 1.2090 0.05438 67 54 12 1
2056 I was just upstairs feeding him, and now I'm going downstairs to shovel out. 1.2090 0.06214 67 56 8 3
2057 While it's easy to focus on your differences, I would encourage you to focus on all that you have in common. For instance, you share 98% of your genes. 1.2090 0.06214 67 56 8 3
2058 Try to focus on what you two have in common, like opposable thumbs. 1.2090 0.06568 67 57 6 4

2061 Maybe we should have talked about the elephant. 1.2088 0.05303 91 76 11 4
2062 Really, Muriel, how can it be little Albert's fault that Costco is out of bananas? 1.2088 0.05303 91 76 11 4
2063 You're gonna need to speak up 1.2088 0.05068 91 75 13 3
2064 We must admit, it's there, and it's larger than an elephant. 1.2088 0.05068 91 75 13 3
2065 Have you tried Kongnative therapy? 1.2088 0.05529 91 77 9 5
2066 Wow. Most couples don't actually BRING the 800-pound gorilla. 1.2083 0.05913 72 60 9 3
2067 Excuse me, could you guys take your shoes off please? New apartment and all. 1.2083 0.05210 72 58 13 1
2068 Was easier when we discussed the elephant in the room 1.2083 0.06235 72 61 7 4
2069 He’s understandably angry. Early reviews of the Kong sequel are not good. 1.2083 0.06235 72 61 7 4
2070 In my professional opinion, he's just not all there. 1.2083 0.05210 72 58 13 1

2072 So she thinks your over powering her 1.2083 0.05913 72 60 9 3

2074 What Ann wants to communicate to you is that she doesn’t need you to be a king, she just needs you to be Kong. 1.2083 0.06235 72 61 7 4
2075 I think what Tom is trying to say is that he needs more space. 1.2083 0.05573 72 59 11 2
2076 Go on say it 1.2079 0.04734 101 83 15 3
2077 It’s like you’re two different species. Are you even trying to relate to each other? 1.2078 0.05008 77 62 14 1
2078 Well, do you have anything you want to discuss today? 1.2078 0.05944 77 65 8 4
2079 Honey, but shouldn't it be an elephant? 1.2078 0.05338 77 63 12 2
2080 I know you prefer the 800-pound gorilla, but I still miss the elephant in the room. 1.2078 0.05649 77 64 10 3
2081 Maybe we can play the game with something else in the middle. 1.2078 0.05649 77 64 10 3
2082 I'm sorry, but I just don't see what the problem is. 1.2078 0.05649 77 64 10 3
2083 And the children, do they sense that there is a problem ? 1.2073 0.05415 82 68 11 3
2084 To be honest, I am starting to question the compatibility of this relationship. 1.2073 0.05129 82 67 13 2
2085 Ironically, this is NOT the one I was talking about 1.2073 0.05129 82 67 13 2

2088 Well, there goes the elephant. 1.2073 0.05415 82 68 11 3
2089 So what you’re saying is you feel Kong is never fully present anymore? 1.2073 0.05415 82 68 11 3

2096 I think you've finally reached a breakthrough regarding the elephant in the room. 1.2069 0.05696 87 74 8 5
2097 Well, he should have worn his mask. 1.2069 0.05456 87 73 10 4

2099 I thought you said a "little" problem 1.2069 0.04664 87 70 16 1
2100 Is this what they meant by "house-broken?" 1.2065 0.05017 92 76 13 3

2110 Yeah, it's a jungle out there. 1.2059 0.05366 68 55 12 1
2111 I thought it was an elephant in the room. 1.2059 0.06130 68 57 8 3
2112 I’m glad I had an opening for you! 1.2059 0.05366 68 55 12 1

2116 In this process, it's important that you see yourselves as equals. 1.2059 0.05760 68 56 10 2
2117 I’m glad you got it off your back. Now how about you get it out of my office? 1.2059 0.05760 68 56 10 2
2118 Well, at least we finally dealt with the elephant in the room. 1.2059 0.06130 68 57 8 3
2119 Everyone talks about the elephant in the room. I thought we might discuss something different for a change. 1.2055 0.05503 73 60 11 2
2120 I was going to talk about the elephant in the room, but… 1.2055 0.05503 73 60 11 2
2121 He and I have talked, and his concerns about your marriage began when you turned into a bridezilla. 1.2055 0.06458 73 63 5 5
2122 But, he IS family. 1.2055 0.05503 73 60 11 2
2123 What? Did you expect an elephant in the room? 1.2055 0.05146 73 59 13 1

2131 I know therapy is hard but blowing your top doesn't help us! 1.2051 0.05873 78 66 8 4
2132 It's time to stop being so damn neighborly 1.2051 0.05583 78 65 10 3
2133 Does seeing it help you process the emotions triggered by the Empire State Building? 1.2051 0.06150 78 67 6 5
2134 I think what I'm hearing from you is that you need more space. 1.2051 0.05276 78 64 12 2
2135 Well, elephant in the room is so last decade. 1.2051 0.05276 78 64 12 2

2138 He’s hanging off the building, he’s dropping in. I’m not stupid, Ann. 1.2051 0.05276 78 64 12 2
2139 You're just a big fish in a small pond. 1.2051 0.05276 78 64 12 2
2140 Well. We did say we’d prefer a Telehealth appointment. 1.2051 0.05276 78 64 12 2
2141 So, are we going to address the 60,000 pound gorilla in the room. 1.2051 0.05583 78 65 10 3
2142 Okay, you wanted to talk about the elephant in the room but frankly I don’t see one. 1.2048 0.05623 83 70 9 4
2143 So what's on your mind, Marge? 1.2048 0.05623 83 70 9 4
2144 Can we talk about it now? 1.2048 0.05355 83 69 11 3
2145 Then, you're paternal twins? 1.2048 0.05355 83 69 11 3
2146 I agree, sometimes these feelings are very subtle, even undetectable. 1.2048 0.05073 83 68 13 2
2147 There is usually an elephant in the room... 1.2048 0.05073 83 68 13 2

2151 And how does it make you feel when monkey see, but monkey not do? 1.2045 0.05399 88 74 10 4
2152 Al least your elephant boyfriend fit in the room!?! 1.2045 0.05152 88 73 12 3

2156 So this is where that 500-pound gorilla sits. 1.2043 0.05198 93 78 11 4
2157 So, when ARE we going to talk about this? 1.2043 0.04968 93 77 13 3
2158 I think we're gonna need a bigger couch. 1.2043 0.04968 93 77 13 3

2161 Of course, as a mixed couple, you'll face a lot of challenges. 1.2039 0.04650 103 85 15 3
2162 Animal magnetism IS powerful - but let's talk compatibility. 1.2034 0.07560 59 52 2 5
2163 I see that this problem is bigger than we originally thought. 1.2034 0.06295 59 49 8 2

2165 What part of 'anywhere he wants' don't you understand. 1.2034 0.06743 59 50 6 3

2188 Have you considered that climbing tall buildings with you might be his love language? 1.2027 0.05435 74 61 11 2
2189 It is nice that he is letting you visit with me and not carrying you up the side of the Empire State Building. 1.2027 0.05766 74 62 9 3
2190 You said,"It's fine 1.2027 0.06079 74 63 7 4

2206 That's not what I mean by "housebroken." 1.2025 0.05804 79 67 8 4

2214 So , tell me .. and how did you feel when he took you to the top of the Empire State Building ? 1.2024 0.05019 84 69 13 2
2215 You say he's been distant and not there for you but maybe he just needs a little more space. 1.2024 0.05561 84 71 9 4
2216 So, Sam, would you say your decision to eschew footwear is a personal choice, or forced on you by circumstances? 1.2024 0.05297 84 70 11 3

2219 Ms.Smith, you are alleging abominable conditions in your marriage. 1.2024 0.05297 84 70 11 3
2220 And you thought it was me who was snoring. 1.2022 0.05343 89 75 10 4
2221 Perhaps the reason you two cannot communicate efficiently is because you never see eye to eye. 1.2022 0.04570 89 72 16 1
2222 – Ya no aguanto más su antiperonismo, doctor 1.2022 0.05577 89 76 8 5

2237 So, which one of you suffers from delusions of grandeur? 1.2000 0.05500 85 72 9 4

2252 Look, all we need is a huge rug for sweeping things under. It will pull the whole room together. 1.2000 0.05610 70 58 10 2
2253 I thought you said you wanted to discuss the elephant in the room. 1.2000 0.05454 80 67 10 3

2265 When I said ‘get some fresh air’, I meant after this session. 1.2000 0.04815 70 56 14 0
2266 So I guess this means we aren't going to discuss the elephant in the room? 1.2000 0.05454 80 67 10 3
2267 Give him time. I think he'll fit right in. 1.2000 0.05695 75 63 9 3
2268 In this case, I think a headshrinker is exactly what you need. 1.2000 0.05695 75 63 9 3
2269 We got the whole Magilla, all right. 1.2000 0.05369 75 62 11 2

2277 Would you like a drink? 1.2000 0.06305 70 60 6 4

2301 At least Godzilla would wash the dishes every once in a while. 1.1979 0.05048 96 81 11 4
2302 It's okay. They know he's mine. 1.1979 0.04593 96 79 15 2

2314 Don't ask me! You're the one who invited him. 1.1977 0.05183 86 72 11 3
2315 Do you feel ready to acknowledge the elephant in the room by acknowledging the gorilla in the room? 1.1977 0.05441 86 73 9 4
2316 Head in the clouds. 1.1977 0.05183 86 72 11 3
2317 Can we now talk about the 800 pound gorilla in the room 1.1977 0.05183 86 72 11 3
2318 I think it can sit anywhere it wants to. 1.1975 0.05937 81 70 6 5
2319 So, why do you think he never listens to you? 1.1975 0.05098 81 67 12 2
2320 Faye, I think I hear George saying he needs you to acknowledge that he is not in fact 1000 pounds. 1.1975 0.05098 81 67 12 2
2321 Got gas? 1.1975 0.05671 81 69 8 4

2323 Mummy would love to hold you on her lap, but you are such a fine big boy now. 1.1975 0.05098 81 67 12 2
2324 Funny. I was expecting an elephant. 1.1975 0.05392 81 68 10 3
2325 So you think he's been "monkeying around", and he thinks you are "a handful"? 1.1975 0.05392 81 68 10 3
2326 Well, we did have an elephant in the room. 1.1975 0.05671 81 69 8 4
2327 I know he’s not an elephant but we still need to talk about him. 1.1975 0.05098 81 67 12 2
2328 He is just like your first husband..." 1.1974 0.05305 76 63 11 2
2329 Dear, I don’t think that’s an elephant. 1.1974 0.05626 76 64 9 3
2330 So you say that ever since Godzilla passed he just mopes around the house. Suggest a new pastime. Golf for instance. 1.1974 0.05305 76 63 11 2
2331 Maybe an elephant would have been better. 1.1974 0.05929 76 65 7 4
2332 See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. 1.1974 0.05929 76 65 7 4
2333 I told you the elephant was a gateway metaphor. 1.1974 0.05305 76 63 11 2
2334 So you are saying you think your size might be a problem for you? 1.1974 0.05626 76 64 9 3

2338 All this time I've been worried about elephants. 1.1974 0.04963 76 62 13 1

2341 No, there's no elephant in that room, either. 1.1972 0.05537 71 59 10 2
2342 I thought you said "elephant". 1.1972 0.06222 71 61 6 4
2343 I just said it would be nice to adopt a dog...or cat. 1.1972 0.05537 71 59 10 2
2344 Apart from that, you say its a very happy marriage? 1.1972 0.05890 71 60 8 3

2347 I recall last session you were concerned about 'the elephant in the room.' 1.1972 0.05890 71 60 8 3
2348 You told him he could crash? 1.1972 0.05537 71 59 10 2
2349 I think elephant understates the problem. 1.1972 0.05890 71 60 8 3
2350 On the phone you said he sometimes acts like a gorilla 1.1972 0.05890 71 60 8 3
2351 So, I see your husband actually is a big dirty ape 1.1972 0.05161 71 58 12 1
2352 You’re probably both wondering why I called you here today. 1.1970 0.05802 66 55 9 2

2356 Let's start at the beginning. 1.1967 0.06105 61 51 8 2
2357 Even when we're together, I feel he's not in the same room. 1.1967 0.06105 61 51 8 2
2358 The elephant is in the other room. 1.1967 0.06942 61 53 4 4
2359 So you feel like he diminishes you? 1.1967 0.05639 61 50 10 1
2360 We should have dealt with this when it was an elephant 1.1967 0.06537 61 52 6 3
2361 He probably feels he doesn't fit in either. 1.1967 0.06942 61 53 4 4
2362 Well..to be fair,it isn’t an elephant. 1.1967 0.05639 61 50 10 1
2363 see what I mean? he can’t even look at me. 1.1967 0.06942 61 53 4 4
2364 We just can't seem to see eye-to-eye on anything. 1.1967 0.06537 61 52 6 3
2365 I told you he would go through the roof when he found out he wasn't ours 1.1967 0.06942 61 53 4 4
2366 He used to fight planes for me, and take me to high places 1.1967 0.06537 61 52 6 3
2367 what's happened since your last visit? I don't understand. 1.1959 0.04550 97 80 15 2
2368 Look Honey, I don't know why he dropped in--he's no friend of mine." 1.1957 0.05407 92 79 8 5
2369 His father lived on the building spire for many years. 1.1957 0.04698 92 76 14 2
2370 This isn’t what we had in mind when you said you were transitioning. 1.1957 0.04946 92 77 12 3
2371 Tell your friend that he can't just drop in whenever he wants. 1.1954 0.05383 87 74 9 4
2372 No, it's not an elephant! 1.1954 0.05128 87 73 11 3
2373 Talk amongst yourselves, I'm not the elephant. 1.1954 0.04861 87 72 13 2
2374 I just feel like we never have any privacy together 1.1954 0.05128 87 73 11 3
2375 I just feel like he isn't hearing me. 1.1954 0.04861 87 72 13 2
2376 I think we need to talk. 1.1951 0.05331 82 69 10 3
2377 Perhaps he also wants to feel held. 1.1951 0.05331 82 69 10 3
2378 So what I'm hearing is, you need some space. 1.1951 0.05041 82 68 12 2
2379 Now, when you say your husband is an ape...." 1.1951 0.05869 82 71 6 5
2380 He'll be sitting in on our session today. 1.1951 0.05607 82 70 8 4
2381 College is going to be expensive. 1.1951 0.05331 82 69 10 3
2382 Jane, perhaps now is a good time to talk about the gorilla in the room? 1.1951 0.05331 82 69 10 3
2383 Alright,good. And can you think of any other reasons you may have grown apart? 1.1951 0.05331 82 69 10 3
2384 Let's discuss the importance of eye contact in your relationship. 1.1951 0.05331 82 69 10 3
