Nip/Tuck (2003–2010): Season 6, Episode 11 - Dan Daly - full transcript
Three months later. As they prepare to accept a prestigious award from their alma mater, Sean grows increasingly tired of covering up Christian's numerous indiscretions, a pattern going back to their first initial meeting in college. Kimber, now married to Christian and working as an interior decorator, heads up the remodeling of the McNamara/Troy practice, but continues to worry about Christian's fidelity. Also, a new patient named Dan Daly, suffering from the self-mutilating disorder Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, comes to McNamara/Troy for reconstructive surgery.
[indistinct pounding]
[laughter]
the albert poland award. Do
You know how many doctors have
Won that thing, and then,
They've gone on to win
The nobel?
well, 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
Snotty little noses in it. I'm
Very excited.
oh, come on. It's not that
Big a deal.
oh. Excuse me. Ok. Lizzie?
yeah?
would you just read this to
Him, ok? Mr. Humble pie over
There?
I certainly shall.
ok.
hmm. "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.
yes. Yes.
but 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 with this
Guy? Ever since we met, he's had
This dark cloud just hovering
Over him.
well, the cloud was called
Reality. We were pre-med
Students. It was non-stop
Pressure and misery. And you
Spent your days just whistling
Past the graveyard.
want a bite?
Sean mcnamara, right?
Christian troy.
I'm pre-med, too. We're in all
The same classes.
I don't remember seeing you.
oh, yeah. I have attendance
Issues. But that is going to
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 want to bunk together?
I mean, I figured, since we're
In the same classes, we can cram
For exams, help each other out
With labs.
and 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?
42, with a bullet.
solidly in the middle.
oh, 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.
the way of the future.
yeah. It sounds like
Meaningful work.
oh, what, slaving away for
Some insurance company for
Pennies while you grab some old
Guy's balls and say "cough" is
Your dream?
no, but saving lives is.
Making a difference with my
Work. You might want to consider
A different major.
and what would you suggest?
do they offer courses in used
Car sales?
[both laughing]
how did I get him to room
With me? I blew him!
[all laughing]
seriously, you know me. I
Didn't take no for an answer,
Eh?
you know what? He harassed
Me. Eventually, I agreed just to
Shut him up.
[all laugh]
and the rest--the rest is
History, right?
mm-hmm.
mmm.
look at this.
to another 25.
hear, hear.
hear, hear.
[applause]
cheers.
* make me
Beautiful *
* make me,
The perfect soul
A perfect mind,
A perfect face,
A perfect
Lie *
tell us what you don't like
About yourself, mr. Daly.
go to hell, dickhead.
dan.
[grunts]
he didn't mean to be
Condescending. It's just--
[chuckles] our way of--
you too, shitface. Uh-oh.
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.
oh, yeah. Uh, 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.
ade 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.
can I see that...
Thing on your desk?
you mean this?
I want it. I really want it.
sure. You can have it--
[grunts]
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. Oh, no. [grunts]
it's why having a full-time
Person to watch over him is
Essential...Which is not without
Its risks.
I--I don't want to hurt him,
But I--I can't stop myself, even
When I try. It's just like with
My hands.
what happened to your hands?
[panting]
It started when I was a kid.
They would just make me so
Angry.
[grunting]
I had to have them gone.
I didn't even care about
The hurt.
I would have lost them all if my
Mother hadn't figured out
A creative way to make me stop.
[panting]
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.
[exhales]
But I did. [laughs]
I did.
now, if we do fix your lips,
How do you know it won't happen
Again?
we don't.
what do you mean "we don't,"
Asshole? [grunts]
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 that I
Deserve a fresh start.
Don't you?
breaks my heart, that guy.
[scoffs]
this is one of those cases,
You know? Makes me feel like I
Actually did something, earned
That award.
you know what I like about
This case? Sooner or later,
Nychen-schlichen is going to
Bite those lips off again, and,
Well, 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.
seanie, I was always
A pragmatist and a businessman,
Huh? Did you ever hear me say I
Wanted to save the world, hmm?
All I wanted was perks and
A glamorous lifestyle. And you
Are never going to 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
Going to love the marble I
Picked out for the retaining
Wall in the new recovery suite.
It is the perfect spot to
Showcase the albert poland
Award.
[indistinct chattering]
[metal clangs]
[hammering]
oh. There you are, christian.
Put your eyes on this.
oh, my. Would you look at
This? It's so smooth, huh? And
Decadent. Isn't it great, huh?
What do you think, sean?
how much is it?
1,500.
I love it.
well, that's pretty 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--
10 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 always having debts
Over our heads. And you want to
Put us back in the hole for
A wall that would serve the same
Purpose if it was stucco.
I wasn't paid to do stucco,
Sean. You look cheap, you are
Cheap.
uh, excuse me, rebecca--
That's your name, right? Um,
What's with these skylights?
They're half the size that I
Told you to make them.
hi, hon.
hi.
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, ok? 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 am out here
Doing these?
what new bathroom?
go look at it. It's
Beautiful. At least, it will be
When I'm done decorating it.
sean...
christian, this one is going
To be a problem for me.
why don't you just go talk
[indistinct] off the ledge,
Please? Hmm? Huh? Huh?
mmm.
[chuckles]
You don't have to worry about
Sean, ok?
I'm not.
good.
but I don't care how much you
Pay 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, shitdick. Nice job
Pulling out.
[monitor beeping]
*tonight,
I'm going to have myself
A real good time,
I feel alive,
And the world
Turning inside out,
Yeah,
And floating around
In ecstasy,
So don't stop me now,
Don't stop me
'cause I'm having a good time,
Having a good time,
I'm a shooting star
Leaping through the sky
Like a tiger,
Defying the laws of gravity,
I'm a racing car
Passing by... *
whoa. Nice work there, doc,
Huh? That's why they say you got
The, uh, golden hands, huh?
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, I'm
Going to ask you to do my
Vasectomy.
[scoffs] 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 going
To say no to all that sweet
Nectar because of a silly little
Thing like pollination?
what about a little thing
Called marriage? You're
Unbelievable.
* I don't want to stop
At all *
oh, come on.
swelling looks good. Blood
Flow's returning. No sign of
An infection. I think you're
Going to like it.
[grunts]
here. Just hold this.
There you go.
So what do you think?
[grunts]
yeah. They're going to be
A little tender at first, but
There are some exercises you can
Do to help break them in. Try
Saying "sea shell" for me.
mmm.
[panting]
See sell.
mm-hmm. Good. Basketball.
uh, asket all.
uh-huh. Now, this one's
A little bit harder. Ping pong.
huh...F-f-fu--
ping.
ff-ff--
keep trying.
no. F-fen--
Fen--
Fen too close.
aah!
[grunting]
I'm sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry.
[both grunting]
what's going on?
the hell? We were just
Talking, and then, the next
Thing I know--
jesus. Why doesn't he have
His restraints on?
I let him loose just for
A second.
you let him loose? Why?
well, he seemed--I don't
Know--better.
[grunts]
[panting]
better? He's got a genetic
Disease, sean. What do you
Think, 'cause you fix his lips,
He's normal again?
[pants] I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
no. You can't blame this on
Him.
I'm sorry.
you ok?
yeah.
I'm sorry. [grunts and pants]
[exhales] come on. Let's get
You some stitches.
next time you're being chased
Through campus by an angry
Professor, wear pants.
how could I? [laughs] I think
His wife broke the zipper when
She bit them off me. I'm just
Lucky that guy's so damn slow.
[both laugh]
hey, this isn't my fault,
Sean. I just went over there to
Talk my "d" up to a "c" on that
Cellular physiology exam.
yeah? Well, how does that
Lead to you screwing his wife?
he wasn't home. [chuckles]
[laughs]
oh, hey, sean, I need to
Borrow your notes on that
Cellular physiology term paper.
I'm already stuck with a "d" now
On the exam. I got to kill on
That pap]r.
what's in it for me?
you know that blonde that
You've been eying?
julia?
I know her. I can introduce
You.
did you sleep with her?
not yet.
all right. Fine. But you have
To talk me up to her.
mm. No problem. I'm a born
Liar.
Ok. All right.
How am I doing down there? Am I
Fixed yet?
almost. Just finishing up
The keyhole.
[exhales]
you're lucky, you know. These
Hemostat vasectomies are far
Less painful.
what's a little pain exchange
For a lifetime of free love?
yeah. That's exactly what you
Need, even fewer reasons to
Control yourself.
[paper rustles]
well, congratulations. You
Are now medically prevented from
Producing unwanted children.
[ice pack clatters]
oh. Great. [exhales] 3's my
Limit.
what are you going to do
About, um--
what?
rebecca?
yeah, well, she got rid of
It. Don't worry.
what are you guys doing in
Here?
hmm?
what are you doing in here?
nothing. Sean was 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.
but--what do you want me to
Tell her?
I don't know. Tell her I'm
With a patient or something. I
Mean, you know--just--she finds
Out I've had a vasectomy,
She'll--kill me.
what are you going to do when
It all catches up with you?
I've paid my penance, sean,
All right? 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.
hey, sean.
kimber. Um--uh--christian is
Just--he's finishing up with
A patient, so, um--how are you?
God, you look fantastic.
yh?
marriage obviously agrees
With you.
[chuckles] thank you. Who
Would have 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.
you know, 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. Well.
What--what do you think of that
New marble wall?
it's, uh...Really christian's
Thing.
yeah. He always has to do
What that fat, untalented woman
Says every time, doesn't he?
[chuckles] she's 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?
bet that would kill the fish,
Kimber.
he's screwing her, isn't he?
wh--who?
I'm not stupid. Christian.
Rebecca. They're having
An affair.
oh--you know, he has turned
A corner. He wants it to work
With you. And I think he's had
His fill of all that.
ok. 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.
[sighs]
ahh, thank you.
mmm. You've had enough, sean.
you're damn right, I've had
Enough.
he doesn't need this. Thank
You very much.
miss, don't believe a word
That comes out of this man's
Mouth, ok? He'll tell you
Anything you want to hear, and
None of it's true. Just ask his
Wife.
[scoffs]
[chuckles]
look, I'm sorry if I put you
In an uncomfortable position--
uncomfortable position?
yes, uncomfortable position.
oh, come on. You wouldn't
Care if I squatted on glass, as
Long as your ass is covered.
Nothing's changed in 25 years.
[sighs]
oh. You know, maybe you can't
Help lying and cheating. Maybe
It's a genetic trait like
Lesch-nyhan.
mm-hmm.
and you can't evolve into
A decent human being 'cause it's
Not in your dna. Excuse me,
Honey, get another one?
mmm. And can I get some ice?
My balls. I had the ol'
Snippety-snip. I want to make
Sure I don't swell during
The flight.
[sighs]
[grunts]
[sighs] thank god. [exhales]
I almost missed it.
[indistinct chattering]
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?
mm-hmm.
great. Yeah.
well, let's see. For you...
Ok.
ahh. Ooh.
this...
[sighs]
is made from criollo cacao,
Grown in nicaragua.
oh, I love how you say that.
[both laugh]
oh.
it has higher levels of
Phentolamine...
mmm.
which, besides its decadent
Taste, is known to have
A slightly psychotropic effect.
oh, it is so delicious.
[chuckles] you want another?
oh, yeah. Yeah.
I'll split it with you.
wow.
mmm.
[chuckles]
[chuckles]
you know, I need to use
The bathroom.
You want to come?
you saying you want to join
The mile high club?
give me 2 minutes.
ok.
don't do it.
[chuckles] like you wouldn't.
I have. It's not worth it,
All right? The bathrooms are too
Small to get any rhythm going,
And...Flight attendants are very
Strict post-9/11.
I tell you what, buddy boy.
Why don't you cover for me? See
How it feels for a change.
[clears throat]
don't say I didn't warn you.
mmm.
[grunting]
Oh, god!
[both grunting]
oh, god. Don't stop. Ahh.
Don't stop. Ahh! Ahh!
[knock on door]
excuse me? Open this door.
You need to come out of there.
oh!
come out of there now, or
The captain will land this
Plane.
[moaning]
[both grunting]
u.S. Marshal.
ahh.
[knock on door]
wait. Wait. Wait.
[panting]
[knock on door]
u.S. Marshal.
[grunts and pants]
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.
ooh.
I have the authority to
Handcuff to your seat if I deem
It necessary. Stay seated till
We land in miami, at which time
You will be questioned by
Homeland security. Do you
Understand?
yeah. Yes.
[panting]
[pats]
shut up.
it's all right, buddy.
just shut up.
why is it you never get
Caught, and whenever I break
The rules--
'cause you, my friend, are
An am amateur. Thank you so
Much. Oh. You can't expect to
Play like tiger woods if you
Don't practice.
thanks for doing nothing, by
The way. Think of all the times
I covered for you. If she hadn't
Convinced them that I was giving
Her the heimlich maneuver, I'd
Still be in custody.
you know what? You need to
Put that all behind you. Suck it
All in. Take a look around. Can
You feel it?
hmm. 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?
mmm.
I promised candace delaureo 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?
[laughs]
hey, could I just get a cup
Of coffee?
how do you take it?
black, as I recall from
The all-nighters we used to
Pull.
curtis?
older, wiser. Eh. Mostly
Older. [laughs]
oh, my god. Hey!
how you doing, buddy?
I'm good. How are you?
congratulations, mcnamara.
oh, thank you.
a beer, please. I got to tell
You, I was a little 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? [laughs]
well, I'm not surprised
You're receiving it.
oh.
work you've been doing,
Treating fevers in angola and
Pakistan is pretty incredible.
oh, 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, eh?
So, uh, so how's julia?
she's good.
yeah?
we divorced.
oh. Gee. I'm sorry about
That. You have kids?
yeah. Yeah. 3.
oh!
there.
There's matt.
uh-huh.
that's conor there, and
There's annie.
wow, good-looking.
yeah.
you must be really proud.
I am.
what, so the oldest one's
Probably in college, right?
uh, well, he's--he's just
Taking a break.
ah. Smart. Smart. Let me show
You my crew here. This is luke
And andrea. Luke is at the old
Alma mater following in his
Dad's footsteps.
oh, great.
but andrea, she's a rebel.
Nothing but trouble.
heh. I got one of those, too.
just had to be different, you
Know? Yale. I swear she did it
To break my heart. [chuckles]
we can't all go to harvard,
Can we?
well, some of us could but
Didn't. I never understood that,
Sean.
[indistinct chattering]
what's this?
Ohh. Harvard.
Congratulations. While you're
Both freezing your balls off in
The frigid northeast, I will be
On the beach licking salt off of
The hot bodies of my fellow
Interns.
I'll meet you after biochem.
We still need to discuss
Housing. See you, troy.
guy's a fag.
guy's a genius.
so, you really want to go to
School with a bunch of
Overachieving grade-grubbers?
as opposed to a bunch of
Oversexed tit-grabbers?
I just don't want to see you
Turn into a grind. You have that
Potential, buddy boy. Trust me.
hey, um, there are direct
Flights from miami to boston,
You know?
yeah. I just--I thought we
Were going to be in this
Together.
So we going to do this thing
Together or what? Come on.
I got a surprise.
[indistinct chattering]
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. The carpet's been
Replaced.
they didn't get rid of that
Bong water stench.
no, they didn't! Isn't that
Great, huh? I love it! It's
Great!
you know how many hours we
Spent studying in this room?
ahh. Do you remember this
Bed, huh? It's the first time I
Ever had a threesome.
I remember. I had midterms
The next morning.
[distant music and cheering]
oh. Hold on.
[grunts]
Oh, my god.

Still here! Come and check it
Out. The scoreboard!
oh, the scoreboard!
ahh! The scoreboard!
[laughs]
209 of miami's finest coeds
Represented right here. Of
Course, you know, if I banged
Them at their place, I didn't
Notch it down on there, so...
yeah.
there's a lot more.
ok. Let's go grab some
Dinner.

Talking about? We're sleeping
Here tonight. I already paid
The schlubs who room here so
That we could stay.

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're
Getting a big-ass award
Tomorrow. We should at least
Relive some of the good old
Days, you know? The things that
Kind of got us here. I mean--
I don't know. Maybe you're
Right. It could be fun.
could be fun? I mean, come
On! This is great, huh?
mm.
come on. Let's play darts.
[chuckles]
You're not going to fit in that
Bed.
[bubbling]

Have that--

Look who I found while you were
Taking a shower. Winona and
Ryder. [laughs] [indistinct]
Come on, man. We just started
A game of strip poker. Here,
Join us.

Oh, hold on, ladies. Yeah. You
Know what that means? [laughs]
Yeah, both of you, get going.
[sighs]
seanie, you enjoying
Yourself? Partner? I think it's
Your turn.
[sighs] 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 laugh]
[distant indistinct
Chattering]
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 silvestre. I'll do
Anything. I know this stuff.
Test me right now.
ah, it's too late for that,
Sean.
but I'm supposed to go to
Harvard in the fall. If you
Flunk me, I won't get in. You
Know that.
you should have thought of
That before you and mr. Troy
Handed in the exact same final
Papers. I'm failing both of you.
[distant indistinct
Chattering]
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 rose...
don't say anything
Undignified about playing strip
Poker with 2 freshmen the night
Before the poland award?
dignity is overrated, my
Friend. The freshmen, on
The other hand, are not.
ladies and gentlemen, it is
My pleasure to present the 2011
Albert poland award to doctors
Sean mcnamara and christian
Troy.
[laughs]
[applause]
thank you.
whoa. Lucky she didn't drop
It, huh?
[laughter]
uh, greatly honored to
Receive this award. It's
Really--[sighs] 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 at mcnamara/troy
And always has been. You are
The man.
[applause]
[no audio]
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 over the years and
Become a master, I could only
Hope that some of that
Extraordinary talent would rub
Off on me. [chuckles] not too
Sure any of it has, but...
[laughter]
I guess, at the end of
The day, 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.
[applause]
we are both humbled and
Grateful for the jury's
Selection, and we will strive
To...
Remain worthy of its honor, if
We can. [laughs] thank you very
Much.
[applause]
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.
it's very nice to meet you,
Julia. Thanks for the kind
Words, christian.
just telling it like it is,
Partner.
[cheering and applause]
thank you. Oh. Thank you so
Much.
it's unbelievable, huh?
I know. What'd you think of
The speech huh? I was a little
Nervous, but...
oh, it was something.
so I didn't suck? Hey, thank
You.
all right. Congratulations.
thanks very much.
did you mean everything you
Said?
thank you. [chuckles]
um, dr. Troy? Dr. Mcnamara?
yes?
can we get a picture
Together?
yeah.
thank you.
yeah. Of course.
for the cover of the alumni
Report.
ahh, the cover. I like
The sound of that.
[laughs]
can we get a couple of copies
For the waiting room?
are you kidding me? That's
The least we can do.
[chuckles]
your donation was above and
Beyond anything we ever
Expected.
what donation?
yeah, especially this year,
With the economy where it is.
I'm just glad we had something
To offer in return.
well, this is fantastic.
thank you. Both of you. Very
Much.
[chuckles]
good to see you.
thank you.
you take care.
ok.
Yes. Oh. Thank you very much.
thanks.
thanks. Thank you, sir.
how much did you give them?
appreciate it. What's that?
how much did you give them?
a reasonable amount for
A couple of--thank you so much--
Successful surgeons--thank you.
thank you.
thank you.
how much?
thank you. Huh? What does it
Matter? [clears throat]
tell me how much.
200. Thank you.
thousand?
yeah. It's tax-deductible.
Thank you. [chuckles]
you bought this.
I guaranteed us another
20 years in this business, my
Friend. Thank you so much. Thank
You. Untie your panties, ok?
This was supposed to be
Something to make you happy.
oh, yeah. You're always
Looking out for others, aren't
You? Huh? How much did ryerson
Donate?
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 just a complete
Joke and a waste of time, just
Like everything with you.
[chuckles]
Sean, would you come back here,
Please? Come on. You can't do
This.
watch me.
all right. I should have told
You.
this is bullshit. I said you
Could look at my notes, and you
Copied my goddamn paper word for
Word. You knew what was going to
Happen. You know, I should have
Known better. When you came into
The library that day, I knew you
Were trouble.
I should have seen this coming.
I should have known that 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.
oh, give me a break. Meeting
Me is the best thing that's ever
Going to happen to you, and I
Think deep down 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 sake, sean. Grow
Up. The only one you have to
Blame for your life is yourself.
[elevator bell dings]
[piano playing]
you finished?
with the hammer or with you?
[inhales and exhales]
I did it because...
I don't know.
[sighs]
I wanted you to be happy about
The work we've done.
I want you to be happy with us.
It's not all bad, sean.
[wheels clacking]
[grunting]
sean. We have a problem.
Mr. Daly carved his face off.
[monitor beeping]
what an awful disease. Can
You imagine doing this to
Yourself, inflicting such pain?
Just sutures? You're not going
To fix him up?
what's the point? He's just
Going to do it again.
you're just going to give up
On him?
big difference between giving
Up and accepting someone for who
They are.
[respirator pumping]
[laughter]
the albert poland award. Do
You know how many doctors have
Won that thing, and then,
They've gone on to win
The nobel?
well, 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
Snotty little noses in it. I'm
Very excited.
oh, come on. It's not that
Big a deal.
oh. Excuse me. Ok. Lizzie?
yeah?
would you just read this to
Him, ok? Mr. Humble pie over
There?
I certainly shall.
ok.
hmm. "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.
yes. Yes.
but 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 with this
Guy? Ever since we met, he's had
This dark cloud just hovering
Over him.
well, the cloud was called
Reality. We were pre-med
Students. It was non-stop
Pressure and misery. And you
Spent your days just whistling
Past the graveyard.
want a bite?
Sean mcnamara, right?
Christian troy.
I'm pre-med, too. We're in all
The same classes.
I don't remember seeing you.
oh, yeah. I have attendance
Issues. But that is going to
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 want to bunk together?
I mean, I figured, since we're
In the same classes, we can cram
For exams, help each other out
With labs.
and 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?
42, with a bullet.
solidly in the middle.
oh, 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.
the way of the future.
yeah. It sounds like
Meaningful work.
oh, what, slaving away for
Some insurance company for
Pennies while you grab some old
Guy's balls and say "cough" is
Your dream?
no, but saving lives is.
Making a difference with my
Work. You might want to consider
A different major.
and what would you suggest?
do they offer courses in used
Car sales?
[both laughing]
how did I get him to room
With me? I blew him!
[all laughing]
seriously, you know me. I
Didn't take no for an answer,
Eh?
you know what? He harassed
Me. Eventually, I agreed just to
Shut him up.
[all laugh]
and the rest--the rest is
History, right?
mm-hmm.
mmm.
look at this.
to another 25.
hear, hear.
hear, hear.
[applause]
cheers.
* make me
Beautiful *
* make me,
The perfect soul
A perfect mind,
A perfect face,
A perfect
Lie *
tell us what you don't like
About yourself, mr. Daly.
go to hell, dickhead.
dan.
[grunts]
he didn't mean to be
Condescending. It's just--
[chuckles] our way of--
you too, shitface. Uh-oh.
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.
oh, yeah. Uh, 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.
ade 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.
can I see that...
Thing on your desk?
you mean this?
I want it. I really want it.
sure. You can have it--
[grunts]
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. Oh, no. [grunts]
it's why having a full-time
Person to watch over him is
Essential...Which is not without
Its risks.
I--I don't want to hurt him,
But I--I can't stop myself, even
When I try. It's just like with
My hands.
what happened to your hands?
[panting]
It started when I was a kid.
They would just make me so
Angry.
[grunting]
I had to have them gone.
I didn't even care about
The hurt.
I would have lost them all if my
Mother hadn't figured out
A creative way to make me stop.
[panting]
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.
[exhales]
But I did. [laughs]
I did.
now, if we do fix your lips,
How do you know it won't happen
Again?
we don't.
what do you mean "we don't,"
Asshole? [grunts]
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 that I
Deserve a fresh start.
Don't you?
breaks my heart, that guy.
[scoffs]
this is one of those cases,
You know? Makes me feel like I
Actually did something, earned
That award.
you know what I like about
This case? Sooner or later,
Nychen-schlichen is going to
Bite those lips off again, and,
Well, 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.
seanie, I was always
A pragmatist and a businessman,
Huh? Did you ever hear me say I
Wanted to save the world, hmm?
All I wanted was perks and
A glamorous lifestyle. And you
Are never going to 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
Going to love the marble I
Picked out for the retaining
Wall in the new recovery suite.
It is the perfect spot to
Showcase the albert poland
Award.
[indistinct chattering]
[metal clangs]
[hammering]
oh. There you are, christian.
Put your eyes on this.
oh, my. Would you look at
This? It's so smooth, huh? And
Decadent. Isn't it great, huh?
What do you think, sean?
how much is it?
1,500.
I love it.
well, that's pretty 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--
10 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 always having debts
Over our heads. And you want to
Put us back in the hole for
A wall that would serve the same
Purpose if it was stucco.
I wasn't paid to do stucco,
Sean. You look cheap, you are
Cheap.
uh, excuse me, rebecca--
That's your name, right? Um,
What's with these skylights?
They're half the size that I
Told you to make them.
hi, hon.
hi.
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, ok? 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 am out here
Doing these?
what new bathroom?
go look at it. It's
Beautiful. At least, it will be
When I'm done decorating it.
sean...
christian, this one is going
To be a problem for me.
why don't you just go talk
[indistinct] off the ledge,
Please? Hmm? Huh? Huh?
mmm.
[chuckles]
You don't have to worry about
Sean, ok?
I'm not.
good.
but I don't care how much you
Pay 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, shitdick. Nice job
Pulling out.
[monitor beeping]
*tonight,
I'm going to have myself
A real good time,
I feel alive,
And the world
Turning inside out,
Yeah,
And floating around
In ecstasy,
So don't stop me now,
Don't stop me
'cause I'm having a good time,
Having a good time,
I'm a shooting star
Leaping through the sky
Like a tiger,
Defying the laws of gravity,
I'm a racing car
Passing by... *
whoa. Nice work there, doc,
Huh? That's why they say you got
The, uh, golden hands, huh?
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, I'm
Going to ask you to do my
Vasectomy.
[scoffs] 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 going
To say no to all that sweet
Nectar because of a silly little
Thing like pollination?
what about a little thing
Called marriage? You're
Unbelievable.
* I don't want to stop
At all *
oh, come on.
swelling looks good. Blood
Flow's returning. No sign of
An infection. I think you're
Going to like it.
[grunts]
here. Just hold this.
There you go.
So what do you think?
[grunts]
yeah. They're going to be
A little tender at first, but
There are some exercises you can
Do to help break them in. Try
Saying "sea shell" for me.
mmm.
[panting]
See sell.
mm-hmm. Good. Basketball.
uh, asket all.
uh-huh. Now, this one's
A little bit harder. Ping pong.
huh...F-f-fu--
ping.
ff-ff--
keep trying.
no. F-fen--
Fen--
Fen too close.
aah!
[grunting]
I'm sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry.
[both grunting]
what's going on?
the hell? We were just
Talking, and then, the next
Thing I know--
jesus. Why doesn't he have
His restraints on?
I let him loose just for
A second.
you let him loose? Why?
well, he seemed--I don't
Know--better.
[grunts]
[panting]
better? He's got a genetic
Disease, sean. What do you
Think, 'cause you fix his lips,
He's normal again?
[pants] I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
no. You can't blame this on
Him.
I'm sorry.
you ok?
yeah.
I'm sorry. [grunts and pants]
[exhales] come on. Let's get
You some stitches.
next time you're being chased
Through campus by an angry
Professor, wear pants.
how could I? [laughs] I think
His wife broke the zipper when
She bit them off me. I'm just
Lucky that guy's so damn slow.
[both laugh]
hey, this isn't my fault,
Sean. I just went over there to
Talk my "d" up to a "c" on that
Cellular physiology exam.
yeah? Well, how does that
Lead to you screwing his wife?
he wasn't home. [chuckles]
[laughs]
oh, hey, sean, I need to
Borrow your notes on that
Cellular physiology term paper.
I'm already stuck with a "d" now
On the exam. I got to kill on
That pap]r.
what's in it for me?
you know that blonde that
You've been eying?
julia?
I know her. I can introduce
You.
did you sleep with her?
not yet.
all right. Fine. But you have
To talk me up to her.
mm. No problem. I'm a born
Liar.
Ok. All right.
How am I doing down there? Am I
Fixed yet?
almost. Just finishing up
The keyhole.
[exhales]
you're lucky, you know. These
Hemostat vasectomies are far
Less painful.
what's a little pain exchange
For a lifetime of free love?
yeah. That's exactly what you
Need, even fewer reasons to
Control yourself.
[paper rustles]
well, congratulations. You
Are now medically prevented from
Producing unwanted children.
[ice pack clatters]
oh. Great. [exhales] 3's my
Limit.
what are you going to do
About, um--
what?
rebecca?
yeah, well, she got rid of
It. Don't worry.
what are you guys doing in
Here?
hmm?
what are you doing in here?
nothing. Sean was 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.
but--what do you want me to
Tell her?
I don't know. Tell her I'm
With a patient or something. I
Mean, you know--just--she finds
Out I've had a vasectomy,
She'll--kill me.
what are you going to do when
It all catches up with you?
I've paid my penance, sean,
All right? 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.
hey, sean.
kimber. Um--uh--christian is
Just--he's finishing up with
A patient, so, um--how are you?
God, you look fantastic.
yh?
marriage obviously agrees
With you.
[chuckles] thank you. Who
Would have 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.
you know, 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. Well.
What--what do you think of that
New marble wall?
it's, uh...Really christian's
Thing.
yeah. He always has to do
What that fat, untalented woman
Says every time, doesn't he?
[chuckles] she's 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?
bet that would kill the fish,
Kimber.
he's screwing her, isn't he?
wh--who?
I'm not stupid. Christian.
Rebecca. They're having
An affair.
oh--you know, he has turned
A corner. He wants it to work
With you. And I think he's had
His fill of all that.
ok. 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.
[sighs]
ahh, thank you.
mmm. You've had enough, sean.
you're damn right, I've had
Enough.
he doesn't need this. Thank
You very much.
miss, don't believe a word
That comes out of this man's
Mouth, ok? He'll tell you
Anything you want to hear, and
None of it's true. Just ask his
Wife.
[scoffs]
[chuckles]
look, I'm sorry if I put you
In an uncomfortable position--
uncomfortable position?
yes, uncomfortable position.
oh, come on. You wouldn't
Care if I squatted on glass, as
Long as your ass is covered.
Nothing's changed in 25 years.
[sighs]
oh. You know, maybe you can't
Help lying and cheating. Maybe
It's a genetic trait like
Lesch-nyhan.
mm-hmm.
and you can't evolve into
A decent human being 'cause it's
Not in your dna. Excuse me,
Honey, get another one?
mmm. And can I get some ice?
My balls. I had the ol'
Snippety-snip. I want to make
Sure I don't swell during
The flight.
[sighs]
[grunts]
[sighs] thank god. [exhales]
I almost missed it.
[indistinct chattering]
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?
mm-hmm.
great. Yeah.
well, let's see. For you...
Ok.
ahh. Ooh.
this...
[sighs]
is made from criollo cacao,
Grown in nicaragua.
oh, I love how you say that.
[both laugh]
oh.
it has higher levels of
Phentolamine...
mmm.
which, besides its decadent
Taste, is known to have
A slightly psychotropic effect.
oh, it is so delicious.
[chuckles] you want another?
oh, yeah. Yeah.
I'll split it with you.
wow.
mmm.
[chuckles]
[chuckles]
you know, I need to use
The bathroom.
You want to come?
you saying you want to join
The mile high club?
give me 2 minutes.
ok.
don't do it.
[chuckles] like you wouldn't.
I have. It's not worth it,
All right? The bathrooms are too
Small to get any rhythm going,
And...Flight attendants are very
Strict post-9/11.
I tell you what, buddy boy.
Why don't you cover for me? See
How it feels for a change.
[clears throat]
don't say I didn't warn you.
mmm.
[grunting]
Oh, god!
[both grunting]
oh, god. Don't stop. Ahh.
Don't stop. Ahh! Ahh!
[knock on door]
excuse me? Open this door.
You need to come out of there.
oh!
come out of there now, or
The captain will land this
Plane.
[moaning]
[both grunting]
u.S. Marshal.
ahh.
[knock on door]
wait. Wait. Wait.
[panting]
[knock on door]
u.S. Marshal.
[grunts and pants]
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.
ooh.
I have the authority to
Handcuff to your seat if I deem
It necessary. Stay seated till
We land in miami, at which time
You will be questioned by
Homeland security. Do you
Understand?
yeah. Yes.
[panting]
[pats]
shut up.
it's all right, buddy.
just shut up.
why is it you never get
Caught, and whenever I break
The rules--
'cause you, my friend, are
An am amateur. Thank you so
Much. Oh. You can't expect to
Play like tiger woods if you
Don't practice.
thanks for doing nothing, by
The way. Think of all the times
I covered for you. If she hadn't
Convinced them that I was giving
Her the heimlich maneuver, I'd
Still be in custody.
you know what? You need to
Put that all behind you. Suck it
All in. Take a look around. Can
You feel it?
hmm. 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?
mmm.
I promised candace delaureo 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?
[laughs]
hey, could I just get a cup
Of coffee?
how do you take it?
black, as I recall from
The all-nighters we used to
Pull.
curtis?
older, wiser. Eh. Mostly
Older. [laughs]
oh, my god. Hey!
how you doing, buddy?
I'm good. How are you?
congratulations, mcnamara.
oh, thank you.
a beer, please. I got to tell
You, I was a little 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? [laughs]
well, I'm not surprised
You're receiving it.
oh.
work you've been doing,
Treating fevers in angola and
Pakistan is pretty incredible.
oh, 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, eh?
So, uh, so how's julia?
she's good.
yeah?
we divorced.
oh. Gee. I'm sorry about
That. You have kids?
yeah. Yeah. 3.
oh!
there.
There's matt.
uh-huh.
that's conor there, and
There's annie.
wow, good-looking.
yeah.
you must be really proud.
I am.
what, so the oldest one's
Probably in college, right?
uh, well, he's--he's just
Taking a break.
ah. Smart. Smart. Let me show
You my crew here. This is luke
And andrea. Luke is at the old
Alma mater following in his
Dad's footsteps.
oh, great.
but andrea, she's a rebel.
Nothing but trouble.
heh. I got one of those, too.
just had to be different, you
Know? Yale. I swear she did it
To break my heart. [chuckles]
we can't all go to harvard,
Can we?
well, some of us could but
Didn't. I never understood that,
Sean.
[indistinct chattering]
what's this?
Ohh. Harvard.
Congratulations. While you're
Both freezing your balls off in
The frigid northeast, I will be
On the beach licking salt off of
The hot bodies of my fellow
Interns.
I'll meet you after biochem.
We still need to discuss
Housing. See you, troy.
guy's a fag.
guy's a genius.
so, you really want to go to
School with a bunch of
Overachieving grade-grubbers?
as opposed to a bunch of
Oversexed tit-grabbers?
I just don't want to see you
Turn into a grind. You have that
Potential, buddy boy. Trust me.
hey, um, there are direct
Flights from miami to boston,
You know?
yeah. I just--I thought we
Were going to be in this
Together.
So we going to do this thing
Together or what? Come on.
I got a surprise.
[indistinct chattering]
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. The carpet's been
Replaced.
they didn't get rid of that
Bong water stench.
no, they didn't! Isn't that
Great, huh? I love it! It's
Great!
you know how many hours we
Spent studying in this room?
ahh. Do you remember this
Bed, huh? It's the first time I
Ever had a threesome.
I remember. I had midterms
The next morning.
[distant music and cheering]
oh. Hold on.
[grunts]
Oh, my god.
no.
yeah. It's still here. It's
Still here! Come and check it
Out. The scoreboard!
oh, the scoreboard!
ahh! The scoreboard!
[laughs]
209 of miami's finest coeds
Represented right here. Of
Course, you know, if I banged
Them at their place, I didn't
Notch it down on there, so...
yeah.
there's a lot more.
ok. Let's go grab some
Dinner.
go? What? What are you
Talking about? We're sleeping
Here tonight. I already paid
The schlubs who room here so
That we could 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're
Getting a big-ass award
Tomorrow. We should at least
Relive some of the good old
Days, you know? The things that
Kind of got us here. I mean--
I don't know. Maybe you're
Right. It could be fun.
could be fun? I mean, come
On! This is great, huh?
mm.
come on. Let's play darts.
[chuckles]
You're not going to fit in that
Bed.
[bubbling]
you know, the showers still
Have that--
whoa, ho, ho. Hey, buddy boy.
Look who I found while you were
Taking a shower. Winona and
Ryder. [laughs] [indistinct]
Come on, man. We just started
A game of strip poker. Here,
Join us.
[inhales and exhales]
Oh, hold on, ladies. Yeah. You
Know what that means? [laughs]
Yeah, both of you, get going.
[sighs]
seanie, you enjoying
Yourself? Partner? I think it's
Your turn.
[sighs] 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 laugh]
[distant indistinct
Chattering]
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 silvestre. I'll do
Anything. I know this stuff.
Test me right now.
ah, it's too late for that,
Sean.
but I'm supposed to go to
Harvard in the fall. If you
Flunk me, I won't get in. You
Know that.
you should have thought of
That before you and mr. Troy
Handed in the exact same final
Papers. I'm failing both of you.
[distant indistinct
Chattering]
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 rose...
don't say anything
Undignified about playing strip
Poker with 2 freshmen the night
Before the poland award?
dignity is overrated, my
Friend. The freshmen, on
The other hand, are not.
ladies and gentlemen, it is
My pleasure to present the 2011
Albert poland award to doctors
Sean mcnamara and christian
Troy.
[laughs]
[applause]
thank you.
whoa. Lucky she didn't drop
It, huh?
[laughter]
uh, greatly honored to
Receive this award. It's
Really--[sighs] 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 at mcnamara/troy
And always has been. You are
The man.
[applause]
[no audio]
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 over the years and
Become a master, I could only
Hope that some of that
Extraordinary talent would rub
Off on me. [chuckles] not too
Sure any of it has, but...
[laughter]
I guess, at the end of
The day, 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.
[applause]
we are both humbled and
Grateful for the jury's
Selection, and we will strive
To...
Remain worthy of its honor, if
We can. [laughs] thank you very
Much.
[applause]
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.
it's very nice to meet you,
Julia. Thanks for the kind
Words, christian.
just telling it like it is,
Partner.
[cheering and applause]
thank you. Oh. Thank you so
Much.
it's unbelievable, huh?
I know. What'd you think of
The speech huh? I was a little
Nervous, but...
oh, it was something.
so I didn't suck? Hey, thank
You.
all right. Congratulations.
thanks very much.
did you mean everything you
Said?
thank you. [chuckles]
um, dr. Troy? Dr. Mcnamara?
yes?
can we get a picture
Together?
yeah.
thank you.
yeah. Of course.
for the cover of the alumni
Report.
ahh, the cover. I like
The sound of that.
[laughs]
can we get a couple of copies
For the waiting room?
are you kidding me? That's
The least we can do.
[chuckles]
your donation was above and
Beyond anything we ever
Expected.
what donation?
yeah, especially this year,
With the economy where it is.
I'm just glad we had something
To offer in return.
well, this is fantastic.
thank you. Both of you. Very
Much.
[chuckles]
good to see you.
thank you.
you take care.
ok.
Yes. Oh. Thank you very much.
thanks.
thanks. Thank you, sir.
how much did you give them?
appreciate it. What's that?
how much did you give them?
a reasonable amount for
A couple of--thank you so much--
Successful surgeons--thank you.
thank you.
thank you.
how much?
thank you. Huh? What does it
Matter? [clears throat]
tell me how much.
200. Thank you.
thousand?
yeah. It's tax-deductible.
Thank you. [chuckles]
you bought this.
I guaranteed us another
20 years in this business, my
Friend. Thank you so much. Thank
You. Untie your panties, ok?
This was supposed to be
Something to make you happy.
oh, yeah. You're always
Looking out for others, aren't
You? Huh? How much did ryerson
Donate?
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 just a complete
Joke and a waste of time, just
Like everything with you.
[chuckles]
Sean, would you come back here,
Please? Come on. You can't do
This.
watch me.
all right. I should have told
You.
this is bullshit. I said you
Could look at my notes, and you
Copied my goddamn paper word for
Word. You knew what was going to
Happen. You know, I should have
Known better. When you came into
The library that day, I knew you
Were trouble.
I should have seen this coming.
I should have known that 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.
oh, give me a break. Meeting
Me is the best thing that's ever
Going to happen to you, and I
Think deep down 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 sake, sean. Grow
Up. The only one you have to
Blame for your life is yourself.
[elevator bell dings]
[piano playing]
you finished?
with the hammer or with you?
[inhales and exhales]
I did it because...
I don't know.
[sighs]
I wanted you to be happy about
The work we've done.
I want you to be happy with us.
It's not all bad, sean.
[wheels clacking]
[grunting]
sean. We have a problem.
Mr. Daly carved his face off.
[monitor beeping]
what an awful disease. Can
You imagine doing this to
Yourself, inflicting such pain?
Just sutures? You're not going
To fix him up?
what's the point? He's just
Going to do it again.
you're just going to give up
On him?
big difference between giving
Up and accepting someone for who
They are.
