Nip/Tuck (2003–2010): Season 1, Episode 9 - Sofia Lopez II - full transcript

Here at bare, dr. Troy,
we offer our clients

A wide range of
full-Body treatments.

Isn't that funny?

I've found myself saying
the same thing on occasion.

Or...i could arrange
to work on

A specific area
of your body,

If that's what
you'd like.

Hey, honey.

Don't you just
love this place?

Yes. I was just
going over my options.

Kimber: already
took care of that.



I called ahead for
the dual hut stone massages.

It should be under troy.

Dual as in we share
the same room?

It's our 3-Month
anniversary, honey.

I thought you'd
wanna be together.

I have another
surprise for you.

What the hell is that?

They waxed in
your initials, see?

K.T.?

Sweetheart, it's christian
with a "c," not a "k."

Really?

Has it always
been that way?

Merill: so...

this must be
the better half.

I never knew christian
had such taste.

Merill bobalit, m.D.

It's a pleasure.

Kimber henry. Hello.

Merill, you metro-Sexual, you.

What are you doing here,
getting your back waxed?

Who told you?

Baby, i'm gonna go see if
they can fix my "k", ok?

Ok.

[Whistles]

Wow.

I'm bettin' that one
tastes like...

golden grahams.

I really do hate to see 2
beautiful people in love.

Love. Please.

If she wasn't the best sex
in my life,

She'd be long gone by now.

She's just not bright
enough to figure it out.

Good in bed
and not too bright?

Oh, my god.
She's my dream woman.

She should be mine.

She's beautiful, doting,

Everything
a guy should want.

But if i wanted to do
the high maintenance thing,

I got a '66 fiat.

When are you gonna dump her?

Merill, you
trying to move in

On my girlfriend?

When there's a towel
on a chaise,

That means its spoken for.

[Whistles] up!

Jesus.

As i was saying...

kimber henry would be the
perfect mother for my children.

My dna mixed with hers
all but assures a blond jew.

Wanna make a trade?

Trade for what?

For kimber.

You remember monica, right?

You met her at my house.

I'll fix ya up with her
and her friend.

A two-For-One. How 'bout it?

You're outta
your league, merill.

You got nothing i want.

Oh, yes, i do.

My car. Remember?

You're telling me

You'd trade your
lamborghini for kimber?

You're insane.

Yeah, you're right.

She'll be back on the market
soon enough.

I'll just scoop her up then.

Excuse me for trying to
facilitate

A painless breakup for you.

You're honestly prepared
to give me the lamborghini.

You know how i operate,
christian--

I see something i like,
i go for it.

It's the curse of being
rich and impatient.

Excuse me.

Dr. Troy...

your girlfriend wanted me
to double-Check with you...

that was a "c"
and not a "k," right?

Merill, i think we can
work something out.

Are you sure it's
calibrated right?

I know. It's an evil,
evil device.

But watch how it works.

140.

You sure about that?

If she's gonna be
a real woman,

She needs to start lying
about her weight.

I'm only trying to be helpful.

I like her!

Sophia, i need
your signature

On this patient
consent form.

I already signed one
of those, dr. Mcnamara,

After you fixed
my adam's apple

And before you did
my breasts.

The sexual reassignment surgery
has more risks.

Infections are possible.

On average, there's a 15%
chance of hemorrhaging,

Which can lead to--

I could actually
die from this?

W...yes.

By law, i have
to have you sign a form

Specifically for the srs.

Ok. Sure.

[Signing form]

Do you need

The gender reassignment
surgery, sophia?

Can't you just
keep the breasts

And the kibbles
& bits...

and be satisfied
with the knowledge

That emotionally
and spiritually

You are more of
a woman than most?

Well...that trade-Off works

For many in the transgender
community,

But...i wanna feel complete.

Honestly, liz,
i'm more concerned

About my expanding fat ass

Than i am about turning
my penis into a vagina.

Gaining a few pounds

Before your bottom surgery
is normal, sophia.

Being off the estrogen
is what causes it.

Nothing to worry about.

When you're
in my situation,

That's when you
need to worry.

What situation is that, liz?

40. Single. Picky.

Liz, you're dating again?

Good for you.

Going to bars
and being rejected

Is not something
i consider dating.

I'm thinking about starting

An employee discount
on botox...

not that you would
need it, liz.

Well, you're right,
dr. Mcnamara.

She doesn't need it.

Turn to me, liz.

Ah...you got a beautiful canvas.

You just need to throw
some paint on it.

A little concealer
under the eyes,

A couple of shades
of foundation,

And guess what.

You'll look like a 25-Year-Old
lipstick lesbian.

You must know a lot
about makeup.

I've had to conceal
a lot in my life.

On every level.

My place tonight?

You bring the wine and...

i'll prove to you
you don't need a scalpel

To turn back time.

You ready
to do some homework?

Let's see...

should we start
with advanced calculus?

No, i agree.

Too boring.

[Monitor beeping]

French?

Ok, sure.

French it is.

Uh, kara just--Oh.

Matt, i'm with a patient.

You need to knock.

I-It's kara. She moved.

Moved?

Twitched.

This is a good sign.

Let me finish my exam,
and we'll talk later.

Shit.

You weren't doing anything
out of line, sean.

I was due for an exam.

You were giving it to me.

That's not all
we were doing.

We can't do this anymore.

I agree.

I meant...here.

Phase one.

Trust.

Hey, baby.

Kimber: you didn't say you
were bringing company.

Christian: ah, sorry,
sweetheart.

You remember merill,
right?

Hi.

Hello.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

Oh, uh...

we're gonna watch
pay-Per-View tonight.

Is that the dress i hate?

You never said
you hated this dress.

It makes you look boxy.
Why are you wearing it?

I, uh...

thought we had plans to go
to the conga room tonight?

Sorry, sweetheart.
Slipped my mind.

I invited some friends
over to watch the fight.

You probably don't wanna
stick around for that.

I can't figure out this
whole direct tv thing.

You see if you can
make that work.

I'm gonna go change.

[Yawns]

[Fight playing on tv]

Can't believe he talks
to you like that.

He probably just had
a hard day.

Hey, if my gorgeous girlfriend

Puts on a dress like that...

I don't care what kinda day
i've had. I'm happy.

And i don't break dinner plans.

I'm sorry.

I'm not helping.

You wanna talk about it,

You can call
a girlfriend or something.

Ah...

i don't really have
many friends here.

Hey, kimber, don't feel bad.

I told him, "she's the most
beautiful woman in the world.

She's not a 8--She's a 15."

He still thinks i'm an 8?

But i did the surgery.

I don't wanna sound forward,
but...

Here. Take my business card.

You think i need
more work done?

No.

I want you to have somebody
to call when he's being a dick.

And if you feel the need to
unload on somebody...

[approaching footsteps]

Ok. You gonna
watch the fight?

No.

I think i'm gonna go
for a walk and get some air.

Great.

[Christian exhales]

[Door closes]

How'd it go?

Phase one complete.

Mm-Mmm.

[Clink]

How do i look?

More feminine.

Ok. Behold...

i look straight.

I'm sorry.

They don't make a lipstick shade
called bull dyke.

Well, can i look more...me?

Ha ha. Ok.

But i must say, i'm
a little disappointed, liz.

'Cause i don't wanna
look like a clown?

Because you of all people

Should know that a facade
does not determine a person.

Why get

A sexual reassignment
surgery, sophia?

Because my facade
is hiding my person.

I'm not trying to be
a beautiful woman.

I know i'm no salma hayek, ok?

I'm just trying to get rid
of the man on the outside

As much as i can...

so i somewhat can
reflect what i am...

a woman.

Have you always
been a lesbian, liz?

Well, i slept with a man
once in college,

But he had long hair,
and when i closed my eyes

And i felt it
sweeping across my face,

I pretended he was
joni mitchell.

What about you?

You gay?

Today.

And tomorrow?

Straight.

After the surgery.

You're a conundrum wrapped
up in a riddle, babe.

You look beautiful.

I do?

Oh, i'm sorry.

I pluck too many hairs?

It hurts, i know.

No, it's not that.
I'm just so sad.

Why?

I just wanna love someone.

And i want someone
to love me back.

And now i go
to the bars and...

i used to get looks back

When i was younger,
you know?

And now...i'm invisible.

It's like
the whole culture

Is geared towards
25-Year-Olds and...

that's not me anymore.

I know how you feel, liz.

I'm lonely, too.

I feel like you do, maybe
the parade passed me by.

I mean...i had trouble getting
men when i was a man.

Didn't have any muscles.

I was a fem...which the boys
hate these days.

And now i wanna be a woman...

who, let's face it...

still resembles a man.

And i wonder...

who's gonna want me now?

Who'll see beyond the...

the makeup and the surgeries

And see the person
who's inside?

[Crying] shit.

This isn't waterproof.

This is the worst girls'
night out i ever had.

Me, too.

And yet, it's...

it's kind of the best.

I see the person
inside you, sophia.

Right now.

I see you.

I see you, too, liz.

Jude: 8...

9...

Ok. Come on. Come on.

Last one. Last one.

I can't.

You got it.

Oh...oh!

Do all the other women
you work with

Need as much help as i do?

You're kidding me,
right?

I wish all my clients
trained as hard as you.

Ok, we're not
finished yet.

Over here.

On your back.

Leg up.

What are we doing now?

Do you trust me?

Ooh. Ooh.

[Giggles]

Suzanne: julia.

Quelle surprise.

Julia: suzanne!

Hi!

Jude.

Working hard today,
are we?

You 2 know each other?

Yes, i trained a friend of
suzanne's a few months ago.

I think we're
almost done here.

5 minutes on the cardio.

Fancy a smoothie?

Sure.

My treat.

How much for jude?

Are you paying retail, honey?

Hell, even if you are,

Apparently
he's worth the money.

Yeah. He
works me out hard.

Oh, my god.

You really don't know, do you?

Know what?

Sweetheart...

he's not a real
personal trainer.

That's only how he meets
his real clients.

For sex, sweetie.

Ohh...

don't be shocked.

Enjoy.

You paid him
to have sex with you?

No, not me, because i do not
have the morals of an alley cat.

But a lot of the women
in my spinning class have,

And the word is...

once jude puts you through
his bedroom calisthenics,

You feel the burn for days.

That is not true.

Jude is a student--

How do you think
he affords those clothes?

And that apartment?

Not by working at subway,
sweetie.

[Beeping]

Hi.

Hi.

Look, i don't know
how this is gonna sound,

Seeing in 5 minutes

Your scrotum is gonna be
turned into a labia majora,

But...

last night...

was incredible.

You thought so, too?

I...can't stop
thinking about it.

Me, neither.

It's the first time
in a long time

That i felt--

Connected?

Yeah.

[Exhales]

What do you think
that would be like...

to want to get rid of your
penis, the hub of all power?

Can you imagine?

Actually, i admire her
conviction.

It takes...

balls?

What's going on in here?

She doesn't wanna
have the operation.

What? Sophia, why?

I'm sorry, dr. Mcnamara,

But i'm...i'm having

A sexual identity
and a sexual preference crisis.

I--I'm a wreck.

Sophia, what happened?

Sophia: last night,

I was intimate with someone.

More intimate than i've been
in years, and...well...

now i can't do this today.

I'm confused.

I'm sorry.
Now i'm confused.

I thought you were
with liz last night.

I'm gonna go play golf.

Megan, it's sean.

My afternoon just opened up.

* let's stay *

* this way *

* i kinda like it here *

* it's ok *

* i haven't got *

* a single bad thing *

* to say *

* i tell you *

* you tell me *

* how it'd feel
if i'd still please you *

* looking into your
jealous eyes *

* so let's not
tell the world *

*so let's not
tell the world *

* so let's not tell
the world *

[Telephone rings]

[Ring ring]

You're a doctor.

You have to answer
that, remember?

[Ringing]

For one afternoon in my life,

I'm gonna do what i wanna do,
not what i have to do.

[Ringing]

Thanks.

[Cell phone rings]

Who is it?

Office. Shit!

Hello?

Yeah, all right.
I'll be there.

I forgot i scheduled surgery
tonight.

Tonight? Isn't there
somebody else on call?

I'll make it up to you.
I promise.

But that's what

We're supposed to
be doing tonight.

[Christian chuckles]

[Dialing]

Hi. It's me.

Merill: kimber?

You're kidding.

He said he had a surgery?

He didn't even leave me
money for cab fare.

Kimber, i hate to be
the one to break it to you,

But no plastic surgeon does
surgery after 6:00 on a weekday.

It's a diversion.

You think he's
seeing someone else?

I've done
the dinner page thing.

Ever single doctor i know has.

It's...an ugly thing
is what it is.

But i stopped after
i discovered kabala.

It's ok.

Better to find out now.

[Cell phone rings]

Merill.

Phase 2 seduction is complete.

She's in the bathroom now
barfing up a bottle of veuve.

It's goin' great.

Merill, we're both
going to hell for this,

You know.

As long as it ain't tonight.

She's weavin' up. I gotta go.

Jules?

[Breathing heavily]

Where have you been?

Late surgery.

How was your day,
matt?

Shitty.

You wanna talk about it?

I tried calling you earlier,

But the office said
you were gone.

You didn't answer your
cell phone either.

Well...i'm here now.

What's on your mind?

How come you never
raised annie and me

With any religious background?

Uh...your mother and i

Thought
you should make

Your own decisions
about faith...

when you're ready.

But...

do you believe in god at all?

Like if...we hurt someone

And don't take responsibility,

He knows about it.

Because if that's true...

we can't really get away
with anything, can we?

What are you
gettin' at, matt?

I'm sayin'...you can
lie to yourself,

Your friends,
your family...

but you can't
lie to god.

So the only thing to do...

is confess.

Right?

How did you find out?

When you opened the door
and saw us together?

Uh...

what did i see?

Stop the games, matt.

I'm telling you man-To-Man,
yes, i'm having an affair.

I'm gonna end it.

I just...needed something...

and she gave it to me.

How could you
cheat on mom?

Your dad left you guys
for another woman.

You--You told me that.

You've been telling me
that story

Since i was a little kid

About how that
hurt you so much.

I'm not my father.

I'm not!

Listen to me, matt.

Nothing in your life
is gonna be disrupted.

You cheated on mom?

I don't know you
right now.

I won't see her again.

You're more important to me.

This family is
more important to me.

We won't tell your mom,

And this will all
go away. I promise.

I promise.

Mornin'.

What are you doing?

I was staring at the nose job
christian gave you.

Frankly, i coulda done better.

Oh, my god.

Did we...sleep together?

Don't you remember?

No, we didn't
sleep together.

I mean,
we slept together,

But i personally
didn't sleep.

You snored.

You were really drunk.

Where are the rest of my
clothes? I gotta go.

Go where?

Back to christian
to see if he'll forgive me.

Forgive you? Come on!

Get back in bed.

Merill...thank you
for last night.

I don't wanna give you
the wrong impression.

There's nothing
going on between us.

You're not my type.

How am i not your type?

I make more money than
christian,

I'm more famous,

And let's face
the facts, darlin'.

You know christian will
throw you out eventually

As your ass continues its
inevitable downward slide.

But i won't.

You don't even know me.

Get it through
your fuzzy head, ok?

I'm not attracted to you!

You don't like the hair?

Ok. It's goofy.

I'll change it for you.

Yeah? Well,
you'll still be a 4.

I'm sorry.

He's not
gonna take you back.

You 2 may
look good together,

But...you're not
what he wants.

You never were.

He loves me.
I know he does.

He traded you
for a goddamn car!

How's that for love?

Sean, megan o'hara again,
line 2.

I'm heading into a consult.
Take a message.

Jude: you haven't returned
my calls this week.

Why?

I've been busy.

I don't wanna study.
I wanna talk.

No, jude. I get to talk.
You get to listen.

You're a liar.

You're a liar and a fake.

So that's why you
called me over today.

'Cause you found out.

Yeah, i found out.

I wanted to tell you.

You of all people, but...

i didn't know how.

So say it.

Tell me what you are
to my face.

Ok.

[American accent]
i'm not really british.

I'm not from london.
I'm from new hampshire.

I started
the whole accent thing

To...boost business when
i moved out here last year.

You're from new hampshire.

You know how women like
the whole...foreign,

Sophisticated vibe...
thing.

Keep going.

I told you everything.

You hate me?

I hate myself.

Why?

I've been so
desperately lonely

That i fell for a con man...

who's also a hooker.

I wasn't ever your friend.

I was just another paycheck.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
hold on!

What are you
talking about?!

Jude, i know!

I know women pay you
for their orgasms.

Who told you this?

Suzanne, huh?

You trust that bitch
over me?

She hates you.

How could you think
that about me...

that i would rent myself
out to women like her?

I'm a trainer, julia,
not a whore.

I guess 'cause
i'm coming clean now,

Why don't we get everything
out in the open, ok?

I do have feelings for you.

And i know that
it's wrong...

for the both of us.

But i can't fight
what i feel anymore.

Get out, jude.
You can't afford me.

So i made up a voice,

All right, but don't try
and--Don't judge me

For trying to be a better
person, a different person.

Aren't you trying to do
the same thing?

You were a housewife,

And now you're going
to medical school,

And you're asking people to
perceive you differently.

And you won't give me
that same break.

You're very sad.

[Doorbell rings]

Hi.

Liz.

Man's voice: we know.

Oh, my manners.

Come in.

Don't mind them, liz.

They just want me to take
advantage of my opportunities

And get the surgery.

So do i.

If that's what you want.

I don't understand, liz.

I...i thought you
were confused like me.

Come on, sophia.

Let's be real.

We came together out of
loneliness, not passion.

The truth is,
you like men.

I like women.

It would be wonderful

If we could look
beyond the wrapping

For the real present
inside,

But i work in a plastic
surgeon's office.

I know more than anyone
that never really happens.

Only in fairy tales.

I guess i'm just thrown
because...

we...we had
such chemistry, liz.

That's rare.

Chemistry can lead
to friendship.

And i'm here
as your friend

To tell you that
i think that you

Wanna become
a straight woman,

And you should.

The doctors have an opening
tomorrow afternoon.

The appointment is yours
if you want it.

Hey, baby.

See? I'm not mad.

And why would you be?

I know, christian.

About what?

Honey, you don't have
to lie anymore.

Our whole relationship
was built on deceit.

Can't we just end it
in truth?

I know you traded me
for the car.

Merill told me everything.

You're not mad?

Mad?
How could i be mad?

Isn't the lamborghini
worth 250 grand?

That must mean
i'm worth a lot.

At first
i was a bit stunned,

But then i realized...shit,

You're never
gonna settle down.

Why should i?

My modeling career
is taking off.

That's what i want
more than anything--

Even more than you.

I'm glad you realize
that, kimber.

Maybe a break
could be good for us.

A break...

with
the occasional benefits.

What are you doing?

When i found out how much
the car was worth...

i got hot.

Isn't that weird?

Did he touch you?

Tried.

Doesn't that
make you hot, too, baby,

Being able
to screw now and then

What your biggest
competitor couldn't?

I know how you
love to role play.

I've brought toys.

What kind of toys?

* what are the words *

* you would say? *

* that you should
leave me? *

Is that as tight
as you can make them?

Where are you going?

To get another toy.

* all the mistakes i made *

What's that for?

You have no feelings
whatsoever, do you?

Oh, i was wrong. You do!

What are you doing,
you crazy bitch?

Getting ready
to play doctor.

[Music plays]

You always play music
during surgery, right?

Let me go. Please.

I have to go
to the bathroom.

Not my problem.

You're the one.

The one who vandalized
my car, my boat.

Aren't you?

I don't know, christian.

It looks like you could be

Getting some love handles.

I could fix that for you.

Hell, if you can do it,
how hard could it be?

* wanna know how much *

* i love you? *

* wanna know
how much i care? *

You know what
i see, christian?

I see an asshole who has
spent his whole life

Hurting other people
because he hates himself.

I think...the rest of the world

Needs to see
what a mess you really are.

* fever when you
hold me tight *

* fever *

First...we're gonna carve open

The eyes a bit...

so you can actually notice

Something besides yourself.

You fight me, and i will make

You ugly, i swear to god!

* moon lights up the night *

* i light up
when you call my name *

* and you know i'm gonna *

* treat you right *

* you give me fever... *

After the eyes,

We're gonna cut off the other
side of the mouth,

The one that you talk shit out
of all the time.

* fever *

* in the morning *

* fever
all through the night *

* everybody's
got the fever *

Wait.

Do you think
if i stab you here,

You'll even bleed,

Considering you
don't have a heart?

Don't do it, kimber.

You'll go to jail.

Your career
will be over.

I'm pushing 30.

My career is already over.

Kimber, i'm sorry.

I'm really,
truly sorry.

You're sorry, huh?

Then cry for me.

Cry for me!

Goddamn it, cry for me!

* romeo loved juliet *

I tried so hard to make
this relationship work.

I tried so hard, christian.

Why couldn't you
just love me?

* he said, "juliet,
baby, you're the one *

It's not you.

I've never loved anyone.

* when you kiss me *

* fever with your
flaming youth *

* fever...i'm on fire *

You know what?

I can't kill you.

You're already dead.

* now you've listened
to my story *

* here's the point
i have made *

* chicks were born to *

* give you fever *

* be it fahrenheit
or centigrade *

* they give you fever *

Just so we're clear...

i'm keeping your car.

* fever if you
live and learn *

Well, you can't just

Leave me here like this.

You'll be fine, christian.

Your maid comes on friday.

* what a lovely way
to burn *

Nurse: sean, sorry.

Megan o'hara again.

She says it's an emergency.

I'll call her back.

She's in your office.

The cancer's metastasized
in my lymph nodes.

It's already stage 4.

My oncologist thinks...

the implant operation

Lowered my immune system.

The stress of the recovery

Helped the tumors
get a strong foothold.

No one could have
predicted this, sean.

It's not your fault.
You warned me of the risks.

There are ways
to fight this, megan.

Chemo won't work this time.

There's already fluid
in the lungs.

Then we'll look at
other treatments.

Ich therapy,
for instance.

It's aggressive,
not like chemo,

It'll heat up your cells
from the inside out--

I don't need another doctor
right now, sean.

I need you.

But i can't have you, can i?

You're married.

You have kids, a career,

Everything to lose.

I'm sorry.

This is not your problem.

Hey...you're right.

I do have
everything to lose.

That didn't stop me
before.

And it won't
stop me now.

I'm here.

I'm afraid, liz.

Hold my hand
during the surgery

Like you did last night.

Sophia...you are the neediest
chick i ever almost dated.

Of course i will.

Sophia, before we begin
the surgery,

I need to make
absolutely sure.

Are you prepared this time?

Because it's not
gonna grow back.

Yes.

All right.

Let's do it.

Some day
we'll find the one

Who loves us
for who we are, liz.

A girl can dream, right?

[Beeping]

I need you to count
back from 10.

10...

9...

8...

let's prep her.
