Psychiatrist Fist Fight

In a meeting this morning, my boss told us a story about being asked to "continue this conversation outside", which, naturally, leads to this:
Short Film Idea:
Two Freud-ish looking men arguing about acute and chronic mental illness in what looks like a schoolyard. As the fight escalates, more and more professional looking people start to circle around the argument. A punch is thrown, and we see the two fighting in 1920's fistfighting poses.

The fight goes on, blah, blah, blah, until one gets physically restrained and the other gets a shot of trazadone.

I think the biggest challenge is working out great weird things for the crowd to yell at the people fighting, I'll have to take a DSM IV home to pull together some really fucked up disorders that they can accuse each other of having.
