Nip/Tuck s06e11 Episode Script
Dan Daly
[THUDS.]
[LIZ LAUGHING.]
The Albert Poland Award.
Do you know how many doctors have won that thing and then they've gone on to win the Nobel? That's what I'm talking about.
We are back in black, buddy boy.
Nobody we care about is dying and/or incarcerated.
Right? We're about to head back to our alma mater and rub their noses in it.
I'm very excited.
- Oh, come on.
It's not that big a deal.
CHRISTIAN: Oh, excuse me.
- Okay, Lizzy? - Yeah? Would you just read this to him, Mr.
Humble-Pie over there? - I certainly shall.
Hm.
- Okay.
"Dear Dr.
McNamara and Dr.
Troy: For 40 years, the University of Miami has been bestowing the Albert Poland Award to those physicians who have made significant contributions to their medical profession in their chosen fields.
" - Significant contributions, get that? - Yes, yes.
Isn't it kind of a lifetime achievement award? I'm 45.
These things are supposed to happen when you're 80.
What's the matter? Since we met, he's had this dark cloud hovering over him.
Yeah, well, the cloud was called reality.
We were premed students.
It was nonstop pressure and misery and you spent your days just whistling past the graveyard.
You want a bite? Sean McNamara, right? Christian Troy.
I'm premed too.
We're in all the same classes.
- I don't remember seeing you.
- Oh, yeah.
I have attendance issues, but that is gonna change.
Sophomore year, and I'm turning over a new leaf.
And with that in mind my roommate just had a breakdown or something and I've got an extra bed.
You wanna bunk together? I mean, I figured since we're in the same classes, we can cram for exams help each other out with labs.
I suppose the fact that I'm number one in our class has nothing to do with your request.
- Of course not.
- What number are you? - Forty-two with a bullet.
- Solidly in the middle.
- Oh, well, sure, now I am.
This is just school.
It's bullshit.
I am the only guy here who has seen the future of medicine.
Don't you get it? This is the new ideal, Barbie dolls.
Plasticized, flawless women, and it is catching on with men too.
- Plastic surgery? - Wave of the future.
- Sounds like meaningful work.
- What, slaving away for pennies while you grab some old guy's balls is your dream? No, but saving lives is.
Making a difference with my work.
You might wanna consider a different major.
And what would you suggest? Do they offer courses in used car sales? [LAUGHING.]
How did I get him to room with me? I blew him.
[ALL LAUGHING.]
No, seriously, you know me.
I don't take no for an answer.
You know what? He harassed me.
Eventually, I agreed just to shut him up.
And the rest - The rest is history, right? LIZ: Mm-hm.
- To another 25.
NURSES: Hear, hear.
WOMAN: Hear, hear.
CHRISTIAN: Cheers.
Tell us what you don't like about yourself.
- Go to hell, dickhead.
MAN: Dan.
He didn't mean to be condescending.
It's just our way of You too, shitface.
I'm sorry.
You can't say that to the doctors.
The insults are just his way of showing his admiration.
It's part of the condition I mentioned on the phone.
Uh, yeah, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.
- Had you heard of it before? - No.
We did some research.
A rare genetic disorder characterized by an excess of uric acid in the blood.
Affecting the area of the brain that governs impulse control.
Aside from the muscle spasms the effects can often turn emotions into opposing impulses.
Love is hate, elation can become misery and admiration comes out as - Go to hell.
In that case, we understand and it's a pleasure to meet you too, Mr.
Daly.
Could I see that thing on your desk? CHRISTIAN: You mean this? - I want it.
I really want it.
CHRISTIAN: Sure, we can have it [DAN GRUNTING.]
I should have warned you.
Self-mutilation is a primary manifestation of the disorder.
You probably noticed that with his lips already.
- He chewed them off.
- Asshole.
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY.]
MAN: It's why having a full-time person to watch over him is essential which is not without its risks.
DAN: L I don't wanna hurt him.
But I can't stop myself even when I try.
It's just like with my hands.
What happened to your hands? It started when I was a kid.
They would just make me so angry.
[GRUNTING.]
I had to have them gone.
I didn't ever care about the hurt.
I would have lost them all if my mother hadn't figured out a creative way to make me stop.
Eventually, they gave up on me.
They put me in a home.
I've been using assisted living for 30 years.
If you hadn't, you would have killed yourself.
Most patients do.
Life expectancy is 45.
And you just turned 46? Yeah.
I never thought I'd make it that long.
But I did.
I did.
Now, if we do fix your lips how do you know it won't happen again? - We don't.
- Yeah, we do.
Asshole.
[DAN GROANS.]
I'm sorry.
It's just I've been self-destructing my whole life.
And despite all the odds, I'm still here.
I think that means I deserve a fresh start.
Don't you? Breaks my heart, that guy.
- This is one of those cases.
- Thank you.
Makes me feel like I actually did something to earn that award.
You know what I like about this case? Sooner or later, Leschen-Shlischen is gonna bite those lips off again and there's another 15 grand from his trust fund in our pockets.
Do you have any ideals anymore? Any desire to heal or help? I'm just asking.
Sean, I was always a pragmatist and a businessman, huh? Did you ever hear me say I wanted to save the world? All I wanted was perks and a glamorous lifestyle.
And you are never gonna guilt me or change me.
Don't you know that by now? - I think I live in a kind of denial about it.
- Oh, come on, lighten up.
We're on the verge of a great future here, my friend.
You're gonna love the marble for the retaining wall in the new recovery suite.
It is the perfect spot to showcase the Albert Poland Award.
Oh.
There you are, Christian.
- Put your eyes on this.
CHRISTIAN: Oh, my.
Would you look at this? It's so smooth, huh? And decadent.
Isn't it great? What do you think, Sean? - How much is it? - Fifteen hundred.
- I love it.
SEAN: That's good for the whole wall.
A square foot.
It's chinchilla-mink marble.
Forget it.
I agreed to this because I thought a better state-of-the-art recovery suite was a good idea.
But all this stuff, the new lounge, the marble wall dividing the rooms.
Ten times more chic than some sloppy dividing curtain, my friend.
It's ostentatious.
It is an investment, all right? This is Rodeo Drive.
We need the bling, my friend.
I love these colors.
For once, I'd like to be ahead of the game financially instead of having debts over our heads.
You wanna put us in the hole for a wall that'd serve the same purpose if it was stucco.
I wasn't paid to do stucco, Sean.
You look cheap, you are cheap.
Excuse me, Rebecca? That's your name, right? What's with these skylights? They're half the size that I told you to make them.
- Hi, hon.
- Hi.
REBECCA: I downsized them.
Frankly, Mrs.
Troy, they were garish.
Oh.
Well, they were actually modeled after the ones Christian and I saw on our honeymoon in Provence so you need to tear them out and redo them now.
No, just leave them the way they are.
It would cost thousands to redo them.
Sean, you worry too much.
Besides, how can I do the Italian motif in the new bathroom when I'm out here doing these? - What new bathroom? - Go look at it.
It's beautiful.
- At least it will be when I'm done decorating.
- Sean.
KIMBER: Christian this one is gonna be a problem for me.
Why don't you just go talk whatsis off the ledge? Please.
Huh? Huh? - You don't have to worry about Sean, okay? - I'm not.
I don't care how much you're paying me.
I can't work with that bitch.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- That bitch is my wife.
- Which is why you should be thanking me.
- For what? - For waiting for her to leave before I told you that I was pregnant, shit dick.
Nice job pulling out.
MAN [SINGING OVER SPEAKERS.]
: Tonight I'm gonna have myself A real good time I feel alive And the world Is turning inside out, yeah I'm floating around in ecstasy - So don't stop me now CHORUS: Don't stop me now - Don't stop me MAN: 'Cause I'm MAN & CHORUS: Having a good time Having a good time MAN: I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky Like a tiger Defying the laws of gravity I'm a racing car Passing by Nice work there, doc.
That's why they say you've got the golden hands, huh? SEAN: They're the same color they were yesterday.
- Don't believe your own hype.
- Ha.
I happen to admire your hands which is why, of all the surgeons in the country l'm gonna ask you to do my vasectomy.
Talk about an unnecessary surgery.
Kimber can't even have any kids anymore.
But our hot little decorator can.
Apparently, I have super sperm.
Every time I look at a chick, she gets pregnant.
Jesus, Christian.
You're about to be given a lifetime achievement award.
Could you possibly just grow up? We have made it, Sean.
The gate to the garden of earthly delights is wide open for us now.
You think I'm gonna say no to all that sweet nectar because of a silly little thing like pollination? No.
What about a little thing called marriage? You're unbelievable.
Oh, come on.
The swelling looks good.
Blood flow is returning.
No sign of an infection.
I think you're gonna like it.
Here we go.
Here, just hold this.
There you go.
So, what do you think? [GRUNTING.]
Yeah, they're gonna be a little tender at first.
There are exercises you can do to break them in.
Try saying "seashell" for me.
- Seashell.
- Mm-hm.
Good.
Basketball.
Uh, basketball.
Now this one's a little bit harder.
Ping-Pong.
- P - Ping.
P - Keep trying.
- No.
Pen Pen Pen too close.
[GRUNTS.]
Sorry, sorry.
I'm sorry.
[GRUNTING.]
What's going on? We were just talking and the next thing I know CHRISTIAN: Jesus.
Why doesn't he have his restraints on? - I let him loose just for a second.
- You let him loose? Why? He seemed, I don't know, better.
Better? He's got a genetic disease, Sean.
What do you think, because you fixed his lips, he's normal again? DAN: I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- No, you can't blame this on him.
- I'm sorry.
CHRISTIAN: You okay? - Yeah.
DAN: I'm sorry.
Come on, let's get you some stitches.
Next time you're being chased through campus by an angry professor wear pants.
CHRISTIAN: How could I? I think his wife broke the zipper when she ripped them off me.
I'm just lucky that guy is so damn slow.
This isn't my fault, Sean.
I went over there to talk my D up to a C on that Cellular Physiology exam.
Oh, yeah.
How does that lead to you screwing his wife? He wasn't home.
[BOTH CHUCKLING.]
Sean, I need to borrow your notes on that Cellular Physiology term paper.
I'm already stuck with a D on the exam.
I gotta kill on that paper.
What's in it for me? - You know that blond you've been eyeing? - Julia? I know her.
I could introduce you.
- Did you sleep with her? - Not yet.
All right, fine, but you have to talk me up to her.
No problem.
I'm a born liar.
Okay, all right.
How am I doing down there, am I fixed yet? Almost.
Just finishing up the keyhole.
You're lucky, you know.
These hemostat vasectomies are far less painful.
What's a little pain in exchange for a lifetime of free love? Yeah, that's exactly what you need.
Even fewer reasons to control yourself.
Well, congratulations.
You are now medically prevented from producing unwanted children.
Ahh.
Great.
Three is my limit.
- What are you gonna do about - What? Rebecca? - Yeah, well.
She got rid of it, don't worry.
What are you guys doing in here? CHRISTIAN: Hm? - What are you doing in here? Nothing.
Sean's just burning off some genital warts, that's all.
Well, I'm sure your wife will be pleased about that.
She's in your office.
Shit.
She can't see me like this.
You need to cover for me.
- What do you want me to tell her? - I don't know.
Tell her I'm with a patient.
She finds out I've had a vasectomy, she'll kill me.
What are you gonna do when it all catches up with you? I paid my penance.
Foster care, breast cancer.
All the bullshit, I've had to put up with you for I don't know how long.
Just cover for me, please.
KIMBER: Hey, Sean.
Kimber, um Christian is just finishing up with a patient.
So how are you? - God, you look fantastic.
- Yeah? SEAN: Marriage obviously agrees with you.
KIMBER: Thank you.
Who would've ever thought we'd be an old married couple? So how's the decorating thing going? You know, I don't think we've had a chance to talk since the wedding.
Actually, it's going really good.
I have a lot of really good ideas.
I think I have a natural gift, or at least my teachers think so, so What do you think of that new marble wall? It's really Christian's thing.
Yeah.
He always has to do what that fat, untalented woman says every time, doesn't he? She's the emperor's new clothes, if you ask me.
Well, she does come highly recommended and you know how Christian is about people and their credentials.
What do you think if we put some food coloring in here? Make the tank prettier like maybe an aquamarine, make the room pop.
But that would kill the fish, Kimber.
He's screwing her, isn't he? - Who? - I'm not stupid.
Christian, Rebecca.
They're having an affair.
Oh.
You know, he has turned a corner and he wants it to work with you.
And I think he's had his fill of all that.
So tell me what you know.
Tell me now and don't lie to me.
Kimber.
Does he have random, Christian-like thoughts? Yeah, I'm sure he does.
But the bottom line is that he loves you and he is faithful to you and you can trust him.
Well, you know that's why I came here today, right? To make him tell me the truth.
So thank you.
Thanks for being honest with me, Sean.
You have no idea how relieved I am now.
Ah, thank you.
- You've had enough.
- You're right, I've had enough.
He doesn't need this.
Thank you.
Don't believe a word that comes out of this man's mouth.
Okay? He'll tell you anything you wanna hear, and none of it's true.
Just ask his wife.
Look, I'm sorry if I put you in an uncomfortable position.
- Uncomfortable position? - Yes.
Come on.
You wouldn't care if I squatted on glass as long as your ass is covered.
Nothing's changed in 25 years.
Maybe you can't help lying and cheating.
Maybe it's a genetic trait like Lesch-Nyhan and you can't evolve into a decent human being, it's not in your DNA.
Excuse me, honey, another one? Can I get some ice? My balls had the old snippity snip.
I wanna make sure I don't swell during the flight.
ARIA: Oh, thank God.
I almost missed it.
SEAN: It's not a big deal.
But you have a much more interesting job.
Now, what kind of chocolate do you sell? - I'll give you a sample.
- Oh, you have some here? Oh, great.
ARIA: Let's see, for you This is made from criollo cacao grown in Nicaragua.
- I love how you say that.
[SEAN & ARIA LAUGH.]
It has higher levels of phentolamine which besides its decadent taste is known to have a slightly psychotropic effect.
Oh, and it's so delicious.
- You want another? - Oh, yeah.
I'll split it with you.
Wow.
- You know, I need to use the bathroom.
- Okay.
You wanna come? You're saying you wanna join the mile high club? - Give me two minutes.
- Okay.
Don't do it.
- Like you wouldn't.
- I have.
It's not worth it.
All right? The bathroom's too small to get any rhythm going and flight attendants are very strict post-9/11.
I'll tell you what, buddy boy, why don't you cover for me? See how it feels for a change.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
[ARIA MOANING.]
ARIA: Oh, God! Oh, God, don't stop! Oh, please! Don't stop.
Excuse me.
Open this door.
You need to come out of there.
Come out of there now or the captain will land this plane.
U.
S.
Marshal.
Come here.
MARSHAL: U.
S.
Marshal.
- Are you armed? - No.
You are being detained under the U.
S.
Anti-terrorism provision of the Patriot Act for disobeying a flight crew while in the air.
I have the authority to handcuff you to your seat if I deem it necessary.
Stay seated till we land at which time you will be questioned by Homeland Security.
- Do you understand? - Yeah.
Yes.
SEAN: Shut up, just shut up.
- Nice work, buddy boy.
SEAN: You never get caught and when I break the rules Because you, my friend, are an amateur.
Thank you so much.
Can't expect to play like Tiger Woods if you don't practice.
Thanks for doing nothing, by the way.
When I think of all the times I covered for you.
If she hadn't convinced them I was giving her the Heimlich, I'd still be in custody.
You need to put that all behind you.
Suck it all in.
Take a look around.
Can you feel it? - Respect? - Envy.
Nothing says success more than the jealousy of your peers.
- Dr.
Troy? - Yes.
Do you mind if I steal you for a moment? I promised Candace DeLorean I would bring you over the moment you arrived.
Apparently, you made quite an impression on her when you were a student.
- Sweetie, do you mind? - Oh, heh, heh, heh.
SEAN: Hey, could I just get a cup of coffee? - Hi.
How do you take it? MAN: Black, as I recall from the all-nighters we used to pull.
SEAN: Curtis? - Older, wiser.
- Eh, mostly older.
Ha, ha, ha.
- Oh, my God.
- Hey.
I'm good.
How you doing? - How you doing? Congratulations, McNamara.
A beer, please.
I was shocked when I heard you won the Poland Award.
You must do one hell of a tit job.
- Well, we do a little more than tit jobs.
- I'm just teasing you.
Relax, Sean.
You never could take a joke, yeah? Ha, ha, ha.
Well, I'm not surprised you're receiving.
The work you've been doing treating fevers in Angola and Pakistan is pretty incredible.
Thanks, buddy.
We're lucky though, you know, Sean? Most poor bastards they never get to find out what their true purpose in life is, huh? So So, how's Julia? She's good.
We're divorced.
Oh, gee, I'm sorry about that.
- You have kids? - Yeah, yeah, three.
Whoa.
Here.
There's Matt, that's Conor there, and there's Annie.
- Good-looking.
You must be really proud.
- Yeah.
The oldest one's probably in college, right? Well, he's just taking a break.
Oh, smart, smart.
Let me show you my crew here.
This is Luke and Andrea.
Luke, he's at the old alma mater, followed in his dad's footsteps.
- Oh, wow.
- But Andrea she's a rebel, nothing but trouble.
- I got one of those too.
- Just had to be different.
Yale.
I swear she did it to break my heart.
[CURTIS CHUCKLES.]
Well, we can't all go to Harvard, can we? Well, some of us could, but didn't.
I never understood that, Sean.
[WHISPERING.]
Totally.
- We should look that up.
- [WHISPERING.]
Absolutely.
[WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY.]
CHRISTIAN: What's this? Oh.
Harvard.
Congratulations.
While you're both freezing your balls off in the Northeast I will be on the beach licking salt off of the hot bodies of my fellow interns.
[IN NORMAL TONE.]
I'll meet you after Biochem.
We still need to discuss housing.
See you, Troy.
- Guy's a fag.
- [IN NORMAL VOICE.]
Guy's a genius.
You wanna go to school with a bunch of overachieving grade grubbers? As opposed to a bunch of oversexed tit grabbers? I don't wanna see you turn into a grind.
You have that potential, buddy boy.
- Trust me.
- Hey, I'm There are direct flights from Miami to Boston.
Yeah, I just I thought we were gonna be in this together.
So are we gonna do this thing together or what? Come on.
I got a surprise.
- You sure this is it? - Yes.
Yes, I'm sure this is it.
Oh, my God, third floor, room number 12 the original home of McNamara/Troy.
Can you believe it? Look, it's been painted a couple of times and the cupboard used to be over there.
- Carpet's been replaced.
- Didn't get rid of that bong-water stench.
No, they didn't.
Isn't it great, huh? I love it.
It's great.
You know how many hours we spent studying in this place? Do you remember this bed? Huh? This was the first time I ever had a threesome.
I remember.
I had midterms the next morning.
Oh, hold on.
- Oh, my God.
- No.
Yup, it's still here.
It's still here.
Come and check it out.
The scoreboard.
- Oh, the scoreboard.
- Ah, the scoreboard.
Two hundred and nine of Miami's finest co-eds represented right here.
If I banged them at their place, I didn't notch them down on this.
- So it's a lot more.
- Yeah, yeah.
Okay, let's go grab some dinner.
Go? What are you talking about? We're sleeping here tonight.
I already paid the schlubs who room here so that we can stay.
- Sleep here? - Yes, sleep here.
Relive old times.
You know, like order some pizza and drink some Scotch get a little drunk, right, like we did in senior year, all right? Come on, we are getting a big-ass award tomorrow.
We should relive some of the good old days, the things that got us here.
Well, I don't know, maybe you're right.
Could be fun.
"Could be fun"? I mean, come on.
- This is great, huh? - Yeah.
Come on, let's play darts.
You're not gonna fit in that bed.
SEAN: You know, the showers still have that Whoa.
Hey, buddy boy.
Look who I found while you were taking a shower.
Winona and Ryder.
Ha, ha.
I'm kidding, it's Valerie.
Come on, man.
We just started a game of strip poker.
Here, join us.
Oh, hold on, ladies.
Yup.
You know what that means? Yeah, both of you, get it going.
Seany, you wanna join us now? Partner, I think it's your turn.
They're barely old enough to have their driver's licenses.
They're 18, I carded them.
I'm going for a walk.
I thought he wanted to be more impulsive.
[ALL LAUGHING.]
MAN: I really didn't expect this out of you, Mr.
McNamara.
The entire semester, you've been a model student.
An A on your midterm, an A on your lab work.
Now I wonder if you cheated on them too.
Just give me another chance, Professor Sylvestry.
I'll do anything.
- I know this stuff.
Test me right now.
- It's too late for that, Sean.
I'm supposed to go to Harvard in the fall.
If you flunk me, I won't get in.
Should've thought of that before you and Troy handed in the exact same final papers.
I'm failing both of you.
McNamara/Troy has set new standards for reconstructive surgery repeatedly doing procedures once thought impossible.
They pioneered the first face-transplant procedure in 2005 and You don't see anything undignified about playing strip poker with freshmen before the Poland Award? - Dignity is overrated.
- Freshmen, on the other hand, are not.
CORNELL: Ladies and gentlemen it is my pleasure to present the 2010 Albert Poland Award to Doctors Sean McNamara and Christian Troy.
[AUDIENCE CLAPPING.]
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Oh.
Oh! Hey.
- Thank you.
- Congratulations.
Lucky she didn't drop it, huh? [LAUGHING.]
Greatly honored to receive this award.
It's really quite daunting.
However, I wouldn't be up here if it weren't for one particular man: Sean McNamara.
This man right here is the real talent of McNamara/Troy and always has been.
You are the man.
[AUDIENCE CLAPPING.]
Even when we were at school here every day and everybody knew that Sean was born to be a physician and as I watched him grow and become a master I could only hope that some of that extraordinary talent would rub off on me.
I'm not too sure any of it has, but, heh [AUDIENCE CHUCKLES.]
I guess my biggest contribution to our practice is letting the world in on his gifts and his talent and I look forward to enjoying the view from his coattails for many, many years to come.
We are both humbled and grateful for the jury selection and we will strive to remain worthy of its honor if we can.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Whoo.
Hey, dude, look sharp, someone's here to meet you.
Julia Noughton, meet Sean McNamara the best-looking, smartest, most all-around awesome guy on campus.
Wow.
You certainly have a friend in Christian, Sean.
Very nice to meet you, Julia.
- Thanks for the kind words, Christian.
- Just telling like it is, partner.
CHRISTIAN: Thank you.
Thank you so much.
SEAN: Unbelievable, huh? I know.
What'd you think of the speech? I was nervous but - Oh, it was something.
- So I didn't suck? Hey, thank you.
- All right.
Congratulations.
CHRISTIAN: Thank you.
- Did you mean everything you said? - Thank you.
- Dr.
Troy, Dr.
McNamara? - Thanks.
Yes.
- Can we get a picture together? SEAN: Yeah.
CHRISTIAN: Thank you.
SEAN: Yeah, of course.
- For the cover of the alumni report.
- Ah, the cover? I like the sound of that.
Maybe we could get a couple of copies.
Are you kidding me? That's the least we can do.
Your donation was above and beyond anything we ever expected.
What donation? Especially this year with the economy where it is l'm just glad we had something to offer in return.
This is fantastic.
Thank you.
Thank you, both of you, very much.
- Good to see you.
You take care.
Okay.
- Thank you.
Yes.
Oh, thank you very much.
- Thank you.
Thanks.
Thank you, sir.
SEAN: Thanks.
- How much did you give him? CHRISTIAN: What? - How much did you give him? - Reasonable amount for Thank you so much.
- Successful surgeons.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- How much? - Thank you.
What does it matter? - Just tell me how much.
- Thank you.
Two hundred.
Thank you.
- Thousand? - Yeah.
It's tax-deductible.
Thank you.
You bought this.
I have guaranteed us another 20 years in this business.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Untie your panties, okay? This was supposed to be something to make you happy.
Always thinking about others, aren't you, huh? How much did Ryerson donate? CHRISTIAN: Ryerson works with kids in Africa.
He doesn't have any money.
Just the dignity to let his success earn him the honor.
Not be forced to buy it.
Which makes this thing a complete joke and waste of time just like everything with you.
Hi.
Sean, would you come back here, please? Come on, you can't do this.
- Watch me.
- All right.
I should have told you.
It's bullshit.
I said you could look at my notes and you copied my paper word for word.
You knew what was gonna happen.
When you came into the library that day, I knew you were trouble.
I should have seen this coming.
I should have known getting the Poland for plastic surgery was a farce.
It's not a farce.
We did good work and we're being recognized for it.
- That's the truth.
- The truth is, you paid for it.
And I should thank you because you finally did something so asinine that I can see what my problem's been all along.
Listening to you.
Meeting me is the best thing that's ever gonna happen to you and deep inside, you know that.
It's because of you I'm not going to Harvard! Harvard is overrated, Sean.
You ruined my life.
For God's sakes, Sean, grow up.
The only one you have to blame for your life is yourself.
Are you finished? With the hammer or with you? I did it because I don't know.
I wanted you to be happy about the work we've done.
I wanted you to be happy about us.
It's not all bad, Sean.
[DAN GRUNTING.]
Sean, we have a problem.
Mr.
Daly carved his face off.
LIZ: What an awful disease.
Can you imagine doing this to yourself, inflicting such pain? Just sutures? - You're not gonna fix him up? CHRISTIAN: What's the point? He's just gonna do it again.
You're just gonna give up on him? A big difference between giving up and accepting someone for who they are.
[LIZ LAUGHING.]
The Albert Poland Award.
Do you know how many doctors have won that thing and then they've gone on to win the Nobel? That's what I'm talking about.
We are back in black, buddy boy.
Nobody we care about is dying and/or incarcerated.
Right? We're about to head back to our alma mater and rub their noses in it.
I'm very excited.
- Oh, come on.
It's not that big a deal.
CHRISTIAN: Oh, excuse me.
- Okay, Lizzy? - Yeah? Would you just read this to him, Mr.
Humble-Pie over there? - I certainly shall.
Hm.
- Okay.
"Dear Dr.
McNamara and Dr.
Troy: For 40 years, the University of Miami has been bestowing the Albert Poland Award to those physicians who have made significant contributions to their medical profession in their chosen fields.
" - Significant contributions, get that? - Yes, yes.
Isn't it kind of a lifetime achievement award? I'm 45.
These things are supposed to happen when you're 80.
What's the matter? Since we met, he's had this dark cloud hovering over him.
Yeah, well, the cloud was called reality.
We were premed students.
It was nonstop pressure and misery and you spent your days just whistling past the graveyard.
You want a bite? Sean McNamara, right? Christian Troy.
I'm premed too.
We're in all the same classes.
- I don't remember seeing you.
- Oh, yeah.
I have attendance issues, but that is gonna change.
Sophomore year, and I'm turning over a new leaf.
And with that in mind my roommate just had a breakdown or something and I've got an extra bed.
You wanna bunk together? I mean, I figured since we're in the same classes, we can cram for exams help each other out with labs.
I suppose the fact that I'm number one in our class has nothing to do with your request.
- Of course not.
- What number are you? - Forty-two with a bullet.
- Solidly in the middle.
- Oh, well, sure, now I am.
This is just school.
It's bullshit.
I am the only guy here who has seen the future of medicine.
Don't you get it? This is the new ideal, Barbie dolls.
Plasticized, flawless women, and it is catching on with men too.
- Plastic surgery? - Wave of the future.
- Sounds like meaningful work.
- What, slaving away for pennies while you grab some old guy's balls is your dream? No, but saving lives is.
Making a difference with my work.
You might wanna consider a different major.
And what would you suggest? Do they offer courses in used car sales? [LAUGHING.]
How did I get him to room with me? I blew him.
[ALL LAUGHING.]
No, seriously, you know me.
I don't take no for an answer.
You know what? He harassed me.
Eventually, I agreed just to shut him up.
And the rest - The rest is history, right? LIZ: Mm-hm.
- To another 25.
NURSES: Hear, hear.
WOMAN: Hear, hear.
CHRISTIAN: Cheers.
Tell us what you don't like about yourself.
- Go to hell, dickhead.
MAN: Dan.
He didn't mean to be condescending.
It's just our way of You too, shitface.
I'm sorry.
You can't say that to the doctors.
The insults are just his way of showing his admiration.
It's part of the condition I mentioned on the phone.
Uh, yeah, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.
- Had you heard of it before? - No.
We did some research.
A rare genetic disorder characterized by an excess of uric acid in the blood.
Affecting the area of the brain that governs impulse control.
Aside from the muscle spasms the effects can often turn emotions into opposing impulses.
Love is hate, elation can become misery and admiration comes out as - Go to hell.
In that case, we understand and it's a pleasure to meet you too, Mr.
Daly.
Could I see that thing on your desk? CHRISTIAN: You mean this? - I want it.
I really want it.
CHRISTIAN: Sure, we can have it [DAN GRUNTING.]
I should have warned you.
Self-mutilation is a primary manifestation of the disorder.
You probably noticed that with his lips already.
- He chewed them off.
- Asshole.
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY.]
MAN: It's why having a full-time person to watch over him is essential which is not without its risks.
DAN: L I don't wanna hurt him.
But I can't stop myself even when I try.
It's just like with my hands.
What happened to your hands? It started when I was a kid.
They would just make me so angry.
[GRUNTING.]
I had to have them gone.
I didn't ever care about the hurt.
I would have lost them all if my mother hadn't figured out a creative way to make me stop.
Eventually, they gave up on me.
They put me in a home.
I've been using assisted living for 30 years.
If you hadn't, you would have killed yourself.
Most patients do.
Life expectancy is 45.
And you just turned 46? Yeah.
I never thought I'd make it that long.
But I did.
I did.
Now, if we do fix your lips how do you know it won't happen again? - We don't.
- Yeah, we do.
Asshole.
[DAN GROANS.]
I'm sorry.
It's just I've been self-destructing my whole life.
And despite all the odds, I'm still here.
I think that means I deserve a fresh start.
Don't you? Breaks my heart, that guy.
- This is one of those cases.
- Thank you.
Makes me feel like I actually did something to earn that award.
You know what I like about this case? Sooner or later, Leschen-Shlischen is gonna bite those lips off again and there's another 15 grand from his trust fund in our pockets.
Do you have any ideals anymore? Any desire to heal or help? I'm just asking.
Sean, I was always a pragmatist and a businessman, huh? Did you ever hear me say I wanted to save the world? All I wanted was perks and a glamorous lifestyle.
And you are never gonna guilt me or change me.
Don't you know that by now? - I think I live in a kind of denial about it.
- Oh, come on, lighten up.
We're on the verge of a great future here, my friend.
You're gonna love the marble for the retaining wall in the new recovery suite.
It is the perfect spot to showcase the Albert Poland Award.
Oh.
There you are, Christian.
- Put your eyes on this.
CHRISTIAN: Oh, my.
Would you look at this? It's so smooth, huh? And decadent.
Isn't it great? What do you think, Sean? - How much is it? - Fifteen hundred.
- I love it.
SEAN: That's good for the whole wall.
A square foot.
It's chinchilla-mink marble.
Forget it.
I agreed to this because I thought a better state-of-the-art recovery suite was a good idea.
But all this stuff, the new lounge, the marble wall dividing the rooms.
Ten times more chic than some sloppy dividing curtain, my friend.
It's ostentatious.
It is an investment, all right? This is Rodeo Drive.
We need the bling, my friend.
I love these colors.
For once, I'd like to be ahead of the game financially instead of having debts over our heads.
You wanna put us in the hole for a wall that'd serve the same purpose if it was stucco.
I wasn't paid to do stucco, Sean.
You look cheap, you are cheap.
Excuse me, Rebecca? That's your name, right? What's with these skylights? They're half the size that I told you to make them.
- Hi, hon.
- Hi.
REBECCA: I downsized them.
Frankly, Mrs.
Troy, they were garish.
Oh.
Well, they were actually modeled after the ones Christian and I saw on our honeymoon in Provence so you need to tear them out and redo them now.
No, just leave them the way they are.
It would cost thousands to redo them.
Sean, you worry too much.
Besides, how can I do the Italian motif in the new bathroom when I'm out here doing these? - What new bathroom? - Go look at it.
It's beautiful.
- At least it will be when I'm done decorating.
- Sean.
KIMBER: Christian this one is gonna be a problem for me.
Why don't you just go talk whatsis off the ledge? Please.
Huh? Huh? - You don't have to worry about Sean, okay? - I'm not.
I don't care how much you're paying me.
I can't work with that bitch.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- That bitch is my wife.
- Which is why you should be thanking me.
- For what? - For waiting for her to leave before I told you that I was pregnant, shit dick.
Nice job pulling out.
MAN [SINGING OVER SPEAKERS.]
: Tonight I'm gonna have myself A real good time I feel alive And the world Is turning inside out, yeah I'm floating around in ecstasy - So don't stop me now CHORUS: Don't stop me now - Don't stop me MAN: 'Cause I'm MAN & CHORUS: Having a good time Having a good time MAN: I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky Like a tiger Defying the laws of gravity I'm a racing car Passing by Nice work there, doc.
That's why they say you've got the golden hands, huh? SEAN: They're the same color they were yesterday.
- Don't believe your own hype.
- Ha.
I happen to admire your hands which is why, of all the surgeons in the country l'm gonna ask you to do my vasectomy.
Talk about an unnecessary surgery.
Kimber can't even have any kids anymore.
But our hot little decorator can.
Apparently, I have super sperm.
Every time I look at a chick, she gets pregnant.
Jesus, Christian.
You're about to be given a lifetime achievement award.
Could you possibly just grow up? We have made it, Sean.
The gate to the garden of earthly delights is wide open for us now.
You think I'm gonna say no to all that sweet nectar because of a silly little thing like pollination? No.
What about a little thing called marriage? You're unbelievable.
Oh, come on.
The swelling looks good.
Blood flow is returning.
No sign of an infection.
I think you're gonna like it.
Here we go.
Here, just hold this.
There you go.
So, what do you think? [GRUNTING.]
Yeah, they're gonna be a little tender at first.
There are exercises you can do to break them in.
Try saying "seashell" for me.
- Seashell.
- Mm-hm.
Good.
Basketball.
Uh, basketball.
Now this one's a little bit harder.
Ping-Pong.
- P - Ping.
P - Keep trying.
- No.
Pen Pen Pen too close.
[GRUNTS.]
Sorry, sorry.
I'm sorry.
[GRUNTING.]
What's going on? We were just talking and the next thing I know CHRISTIAN: Jesus.
Why doesn't he have his restraints on? - I let him loose just for a second.
- You let him loose? Why? He seemed, I don't know, better.
Better? He's got a genetic disease, Sean.
What do you think, because you fixed his lips, he's normal again? DAN: I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- No, you can't blame this on him.
- I'm sorry.
CHRISTIAN: You okay? - Yeah.
DAN: I'm sorry.
Come on, let's get you some stitches.
Next time you're being chased through campus by an angry professor wear pants.
CHRISTIAN: How could I? I think his wife broke the zipper when she ripped them off me.
I'm just lucky that guy is so damn slow.
This isn't my fault, Sean.
I went over there to talk my D up to a C on that Cellular Physiology exam.
Oh, yeah.
How does that lead to you screwing his wife? He wasn't home.
[BOTH CHUCKLING.]
Sean, I need to borrow your notes on that Cellular Physiology term paper.
I'm already stuck with a D on the exam.
I gotta kill on that paper.
What's in it for me? - You know that blond you've been eyeing? - Julia? I know her.
I could introduce you.
- Did you sleep with her? - Not yet.
All right, fine, but you have to talk me up to her.
No problem.
I'm a born liar.
Okay, all right.
How am I doing down there, am I fixed yet? Almost.
Just finishing up the keyhole.
You're lucky, you know.
These hemostat vasectomies are far less painful.
What's a little pain in exchange for a lifetime of free love? Yeah, that's exactly what you need.
Even fewer reasons to control yourself.
Well, congratulations.
You are now medically prevented from producing unwanted children.
Ahh.
Great.
Three is my limit.
- What are you gonna do about - What? Rebecca? - Yeah, well.
She got rid of it, don't worry.
What are you guys doing in here? CHRISTIAN: Hm? - What are you doing in here? Nothing.
Sean's just burning off some genital warts, that's all.
Well, I'm sure your wife will be pleased about that.
She's in your office.
Shit.
She can't see me like this.
You need to cover for me.
- What do you want me to tell her? - I don't know.
Tell her I'm with a patient.
She finds out I've had a vasectomy, she'll kill me.
What are you gonna do when it all catches up with you? I paid my penance.
Foster care, breast cancer.
All the bullshit, I've had to put up with you for I don't know how long.
Just cover for me, please.
KIMBER: Hey, Sean.
Kimber, um Christian is just finishing up with a patient.
So how are you? - God, you look fantastic.
- Yeah? SEAN: Marriage obviously agrees with you.
KIMBER: Thank you.
Who would've ever thought we'd be an old married couple? So how's the decorating thing going? You know, I don't think we've had a chance to talk since the wedding.
Actually, it's going really good.
I have a lot of really good ideas.
I think I have a natural gift, or at least my teachers think so, so What do you think of that new marble wall? It's really Christian's thing.
Yeah.
He always has to do what that fat, untalented woman says every time, doesn't he? She's the emperor's new clothes, if you ask me.
Well, she does come highly recommended and you know how Christian is about people and their credentials.
What do you think if we put some food coloring in here? Make the tank prettier like maybe an aquamarine, make the room pop.
But that would kill the fish, Kimber.
He's screwing her, isn't he? - Who? - I'm not stupid.
Christian, Rebecca.
They're having an affair.
Oh.
You know, he has turned a corner and he wants it to work with you.
And I think he's had his fill of all that.
So tell me what you know.
Tell me now and don't lie to me.
Kimber.
Does he have random, Christian-like thoughts? Yeah, I'm sure he does.
But the bottom line is that he loves you and he is faithful to you and you can trust him.
Well, you know that's why I came here today, right? To make him tell me the truth.
So thank you.
Thanks for being honest with me, Sean.
You have no idea how relieved I am now.
Ah, thank you.
- You've had enough.
- You're right, I've had enough.
He doesn't need this.
Thank you.
Don't believe a word that comes out of this man's mouth.
Okay? He'll tell you anything you wanna hear, and none of it's true.
Just ask his wife.
Look, I'm sorry if I put you in an uncomfortable position.
- Uncomfortable position? - Yes.
Come on.
You wouldn't care if I squatted on glass as long as your ass is covered.
Nothing's changed in 25 years.
Maybe you can't help lying and cheating.
Maybe it's a genetic trait like Lesch-Nyhan and you can't evolve into a decent human being, it's not in your DNA.
Excuse me, honey, another one? Can I get some ice? My balls had the old snippity snip.
I wanna make sure I don't swell during the flight.
ARIA: Oh, thank God.
I almost missed it.
SEAN: It's not a big deal.
But you have a much more interesting job.
Now, what kind of chocolate do you sell? - I'll give you a sample.
- Oh, you have some here? Oh, great.
ARIA: Let's see, for you This is made from criollo cacao grown in Nicaragua.
- I love how you say that.
[SEAN & ARIA LAUGH.]
It has higher levels of phentolamine which besides its decadent taste is known to have a slightly psychotropic effect.
Oh, and it's so delicious.
- You want another? - Oh, yeah.
I'll split it with you.
Wow.
- You know, I need to use the bathroom.
- Okay.
You wanna come? You're saying you wanna join the mile high club? - Give me two minutes.
- Okay.
Don't do it.
- Like you wouldn't.
- I have.
It's not worth it.
All right? The bathroom's too small to get any rhythm going and flight attendants are very strict post-9/11.
I'll tell you what, buddy boy, why don't you cover for me? See how it feels for a change.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
[ARIA MOANING.]
ARIA: Oh, God! Oh, God, don't stop! Oh, please! Don't stop.
Excuse me.
Open this door.
You need to come out of there.
Come out of there now or the captain will land this plane.
U.
S.
Marshal.
Come here.
MARSHAL: U.
S.
Marshal.
- Are you armed? - No.
You are being detained under the U.
S.
Anti-terrorism provision of the Patriot Act for disobeying a flight crew while in the air.
I have the authority to handcuff you to your seat if I deem it necessary.
Stay seated till we land at which time you will be questioned by Homeland Security.
- Do you understand? - Yeah.
Yes.
SEAN: Shut up, just shut up.
- Nice work, buddy boy.
SEAN: You never get caught and when I break the rules Because you, my friend, are an amateur.
Thank you so much.
Can't expect to play like Tiger Woods if you don't practice.
Thanks for doing nothing, by the way.
When I think of all the times I covered for you.
If she hadn't convinced them I was giving her the Heimlich, I'd still be in custody.
You need to put that all behind you.
Suck it all in.
Take a look around.
Can you feel it? - Respect? - Envy.
Nothing says success more than the jealousy of your peers.
- Dr.
Troy? - Yes.
Do you mind if I steal you for a moment? I promised Candace DeLorean I would bring you over the moment you arrived.
Apparently, you made quite an impression on her when you were a student.
- Sweetie, do you mind? - Oh, heh, heh, heh.
SEAN: Hey, could I just get a cup of coffee? - Hi.
How do you take it? MAN: Black, as I recall from the all-nighters we used to pull.
SEAN: Curtis? - Older, wiser.
- Eh, mostly older.
Ha, ha, ha.
- Oh, my God.
- Hey.
I'm good.
How you doing? - How you doing? Congratulations, McNamara.
A beer, please.
I was shocked when I heard you won the Poland Award.
You must do one hell of a tit job.
- Well, we do a little more than tit jobs.
- I'm just teasing you.
Relax, Sean.
You never could take a joke, yeah? Ha, ha, ha.
Well, I'm not surprised you're receiving.
The work you've been doing treating fevers in Angola and Pakistan is pretty incredible.
Thanks, buddy.
We're lucky though, you know, Sean? Most poor bastards they never get to find out what their true purpose in life is, huh? So So, how's Julia? She's good.
We're divorced.
Oh, gee, I'm sorry about that.
- You have kids? - Yeah, yeah, three.
Whoa.
Here.
There's Matt, that's Conor there, and there's Annie.
- Good-looking.
You must be really proud.
- Yeah.
The oldest one's probably in college, right? Well, he's just taking a break.
Oh, smart, smart.
Let me show you my crew here.
This is Luke and Andrea.
Luke, he's at the old alma mater, followed in his dad's footsteps.
- Oh, wow.
- But Andrea she's a rebel, nothing but trouble.
- I got one of those too.
- Just had to be different.
Yale.
I swear she did it to break my heart.
[CURTIS CHUCKLES.]
Well, we can't all go to Harvard, can we? Well, some of us could, but didn't.
I never understood that, Sean.
[WHISPERING.]
Totally.
- We should look that up.
- [WHISPERING.]
Absolutely.
[WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY.]
CHRISTIAN: What's this? Oh.
Harvard.
Congratulations.
While you're both freezing your balls off in the Northeast I will be on the beach licking salt off of the hot bodies of my fellow interns.
[IN NORMAL TONE.]
I'll meet you after Biochem.
We still need to discuss housing.
See you, Troy.
- Guy's a fag.
- [IN NORMAL VOICE.]
Guy's a genius.
You wanna go to school with a bunch of overachieving grade grubbers? As opposed to a bunch of oversexed tit grabbers? I don't wanna see you turn into a grind.
You have that potential, buddy boy.
- Trust me.
- Hey, I'm There are direct flights from Miami to Boston.
Yeah, I just I thought we were gonna be in this together.
So are we gonna do this thing together or what? Come on.
I got a surprise.
- You sure this is it? - Yes.
Yes, I'm sure this is it.
Oh, my God, third floor, room number 12 the original home of McNamara/Troy.
Can you believe it? Look, it's been painted a couple of times and the cupboard used to be over there.
- Carpet's been replaced.
- Didn't get rid of that bong-water stench.
No, they didn't.
Isn't it great, huh? I love it.
It's great.
You know how many hours we spent studying in this place? Do you remember this bed? Huh? This was the first time I ever had a threesome.
I remember.
I had midterms the next morning.
Oh, hold on.
- Oh, my God.
- No.
Yup, it's still here.
It's still here.
Come and check it out.
The scoreboard.
- Oh, the scoreboard.
- Ah, the scoreboard.
Two hundred and nine of Miami's finest co-eds represented right here.
If I banged them at their place, I didn't notch them down on this.
- So it's a lot more.
- Yeah, yeah.
Okay, let's go grab some dinner.
Go? What are you talking about? We're sleeping here tonight.
I already paid the schlubs who room here so that we can stay.
- Sleep here? - Yes, sleep here.
Relive old times.
You know, like order some pizza and drink some Scotch get a little drunk, right, like we did in senior year, all right? Come on, we are getting a big-ass award tomorrow.
We should relive some of the good old days, the things that got us here.
Well, I don't know, maybe you're right.
Could be fun.
"Could be fun"? I mean, come on.
- This is great, huh? - Yeah.
Come on, let's play darts.
You're not gonna fit in that bed.
SEAN: You know, the showers still have that Whoa.
Hey, buddy boy.
Look who I found while you were taking a shower.
Winona and Ryder.
Ha, ha.
I'm kidding, it's Valerie.
Come on, man.
We just started a game of strip poker.
Here, join us.
Oh, hold on, ladies.
Yup.
You know what that means? Yeah, both of you, get it going.
Seany, you wanna join us now? Partner, I think it's your turn.
They're barely old enough to have their driver's licenses.
They're 18, I carded them.
I'm going for a walk.
I thought he wanted to be more impulsive.
[ALL LAUGHING.]
MAN: I really didn't expect this out of you, Mr.
McNamara.
The entire semester, you've been a model student.
An A on your midterm, an A on your lab work.
Now I wonder if you cheated on them too.
Just give me another chance, Professor Sylvestry.
I'll do anything.
- I know this stuff.
Test me right now.
- It's too late for that, Sean.
I'm supposed to go to Harvard in the fall.
If you flunk me, I won't get in.
Should've thought of that before you and Troy handed in the exact same final papers.
I'm failing both of you.
McNamara/Troy has set new standards for reconstructive surgery repeatedly doing procedures once thought impossible.
They pioneered the first face-transplant procedure in 2005 and You don't see anything undignified about playing strip poker with freshmen before the Poland Award? - Dignity is overrated.
- Freshmen, on the other hand, are not.
CORNELL: Ladies and gentlemen it is my pleasure to present the 2010 Albert Poland Award to Doctors Sean McNamara and Christian Troy.
[AUDIENCE CLAPPING.]
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Oh.
Oh! Hey.
- Thank you.
- Congratulations.
Lucky she didn't drop it, huh? [LAUGHING.]
Greatly honored to receive this award.
It's really quite daunting.
However, I wouldn't be up here if it weren't for one particular man: Sean McNamara.
This man right here is the real talent of McNamara/Troy and always has been.
You are the man.
[AUDIENCE CLAPPING.]
Even when we were at school here every day and everybody knew that Sean was born to be a physician and as I watched him grow and become a master I could only hope that some of that extraordinary talent would rub off on me.
I'm not too sure any of it has, but, heh [AUDIENCE CHUCKLES.]
I guess my biggest contribution to our practice is letting the world in on his gifts and his talent and I look forward to enjoying the view from his coattails for many, many years to come.
We are both humbled and grateful for the jury selection and we will strive to remain worthy of its honor if we can.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Whoo.
Hey, dude, look sharp, someone's here to meet you.
Julia Noughton, meet Sean McNamara the best-looking, smartest, most all-around awesome guy on campus.
Wow.
You certainly have a friend in Christian, Sean.
Very nice to meet you, Julia.
- Thanks for the kind words, Christian.
- Just telling like it is, partner.
CHRISTIAN: Thank you.
Thank you so much.
SEAN: Unbelievable, huh? I know.
What'd you think of the speech? I was nervous but - Oh, it was something.
- So I didn't suck? Hey, thank you.
- All right.
Congratulations.
CHRISTIAN: Thank you.
- Did you mean everything you said? - Thank you.
- Dr.
Troy, Dr.
McNamara? - Thanks.
Yes.
- Can we get a picture together? SEAN: Yeah.
CHRISTIAN: Thank you.
SEAN: Yeah, of course.
- For the cover of the alumni report.
- Ah, the cover? I like the sound of that.
Maybe we could get a couple of copies.
Are you kidding me? That's the least we can do.
Your donation was above and beyond anything we ever expected.
What donation? Especially this year with the economy where it is l'm just glad we had something to offer in return.
This is fantastic.
Thank you.
Thank you, both of you, very much.
- Good to see you.
You take care.
Okay.
- Thank you.
Yes.
Oh, thank you very much.
- Thank you.
Thanks.
Thank you, sir.
SEAN: Thanks.
- How much did you give him? CHRISTIAN: What? - How much did you give him? - Reasonable amount for Thank you so much.
- Successful surgeons.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- How much? - Thank you.
What does it matter? - Just tell me how much.
- Thank you.
Two hundred.
Thank you.
- Thousand? - Yeah.
It's tax-deductible.
Thank you.
You bought this.
I have guaranteed us another 20 years in this business.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Untie your panties, okay? This was supposed to be something to make you happy.
Always thinking about others, aren't you, huh? How much did Ryerson donate? CHRISTIAN: Ryerson works with kids in Africa.
He doesn't have any money.
Just the dignity to let his success earn him the honor.
Not be forced to buy it.
Which makes this thing a complete joke and waste of time just like everything with you.
Hi.
Sean, would you come back here, please? Come on, you can't do this.
- Watch me.
- All right.
I should have told you.
It's bullshit.
I said you could look at my notes and you copied my paper word for word.
You knew what was gonna happen.
When you came into the library that day, I knew you were trouble.
I should have seen this coming.

- That's the truth.
- The truth is, you paid for it.
And I should thank you because you finally did something so asinine that I can see what my problem's been all along.
Listening to you.
Meeting me is the best thing that's ever gonna happen to you and deep inside, you know that.
It's because of you I'm not going to Harvard! Harvard is overrated, Sean.
You ruined my life.
For God's sakes, Sean, grow up.

I wanted you to be happy about the work we've done.
I wanted you to be happy about us.
It's not all bad, Sean.

You're just gonna give up on him? A big difference between giving up and accepting someone for who they are.
