Psychiatrist 5¢ (Imagine Charlie Brown on the telephone with the suicide hot-line)

Here's my interpretation of Charlie Brown's psychiatry session with Lucy Van Pelt at the beginning of "A Charlie Brown Christmas":




Lucy Van Pelt: Are you afraid of responsibility?
If you are, then press number 1 for hypengyophobia.

Charlie Brown: I don't think that's quite it.

Lucy Van Pelt: How about cats? If you're afraid of cats,
then press number 2 for ailurophasia.

Charlie Brown: Well, sort of, but I'm not sure.

Lucy Van Pelt: Are you afraid of staircases?
If you are, then press number 3 for climacaphobia.

Press number 4 if you think you may have thalassophobia.
(fear of the ocean)

Press number 5 if you think you may have gephyrobia
(the fear of crossing bridges)

Press number 6 if you think you may have pantophobia.

Lucy Van Pelt: Do you think you have pantophobia?

Charlie Brown: What's pantophobia?

Lucy Van Pelt: The fear of everything.

Charlie Brown: THAT'S IT!
