Judah Stark has been working wonders with the rich old (and young) ladies who like to keep dogs in their purses. Not to mention weirdo billionaire playboys who keeps bringng him sandwiches and upping his pay when he says something 'profound'. He is clearly up to the challenge of helping a possible district attorney with his stress and chakra balances.
Even if he can't keep his own marriage together. Sad about that divorce, really.
At the moment, however, Judah is reading an issue of National Geographic and waiting for his appointment.
His appointment arrives, with the cheery ting-a-ling of the little bell on the door.
Harvey Dent looks around, taking in the, uh, ambiance. Great, there's incense. And a poster of a unicorn. And... Jonathan Crane, sitting there and reading an issue of National Geographic.
It's only one of these that pushes that usually so-well-buried little button in his brain (okay, maybe the unicorn poster, too, a little bit) and has him storming over and trying to grab the man by his collar, haul him up out of his seat. "What do you think you're playing, here?"
Oh, hello there. This is new. Well. Not really. Reactions by people who think that he's his 'brother' are not entirely new, but this one is a bit overblown, he thinks. Especially since he's never met this guy before in his life.
"Okay! Whoa now. Back off. Not my brother." He's assuming here.
Oh, no no no. See, Harvey's on a roll here, and little things like 'logic' and 'common sense' aren't going to deter him. Is there a wall by the desk? Yes? Well, you're getting slammed against it by an angry lawyer, Judah!
It's really, really sad that he's getting used to this sort of reaction. Isn't it? "Check my wallet. Or the top drawer of the desk. Birth certificate. Utility bills from San Francisco." From when his 'brother' was being all Scarecrowy. It's also sad that he has to have these things. Oh, Gotham.
Harvey gives Judah a long look, full of the sort of anger only an overzealous boyfriend can summon up. Then he lets Judah drop, and moves -- not turning his back on him -- to check out this supposed birth certificate.
Judah rolls his eyes only a little bit, and picks up his copy of National Geographic. When Harvey checks out this certificate, there is perhaps also a little finger print card. One set is labeled "Judah Stark", the other "Jonathan Crane". Different prints!
It could all be fake. The birth certificate, easy, the fingerprints... less so, but still possible. More convincing, at least to Harvey, is the fact that he hasn't been gassed yet.
"...sorry," he finally says, as he steps back from the desk, still frowning. It's almost disappointing, really -- to get to put that maniac away, and make him (suffer) hurt a little in the process, for what he did to Rachel...? Alas, it seems not to be. "My girlfriend was targeted by him, once."
But he doesn't wanna. He looks a little like a giant three year old, slouched in that chair there.
"Rachel -- my girlfriend -- thinks I'm under too much stress, and thinks I need to see someone about it. She heard good things about you at work." Though he's pretty sure she didn't hear about the 'Crane's brother' part.

Any excuse he can get, really, to not have to do this. With a Crane lookalike, or with anyone else.

Because I don't want to see a therapist. My problems are mine, and I can handle them just fine on my own. You don't get to see them. No.
"Because I don't think assault is a good way to start a doctor-patient relationship."

He does as asked, though he doesn't have to look happy about it.
Okay. Now what.
