>> PREVIOUSLY ON "NIP/TUCK"...
>> YOU´VE ENROLLED AT SANTA
MONICA COLLEGE?
>> I WANT TO TRY THE PRE-MED
THING.
>> I MISSED BEING THE YOUNGEST
PERSON TO GRADUATE FROM HARVARD
MEDICAL SCHOOL BY 12 DAYS.
>> HIS NAME IS RAJ. HE KIND OF
REMINDS ME OF MYSELF WHEN I WAS
IN MED SCHOOL.
WHAT DOES BREAST CANCER HAVE TO
DO WITH ANYTHING?
>> I HAVE IT.
LIZ...CAN YOU STAY A WHILE?
>> [MOAN]
>> IS IT REALLY SO TERRIBLE FOR
WILBUR TO WAKE UP TO AUNT
LIZZIE?
>> LESS TEETH.
NO. MORE HAND.
THAT´S IT.
NO, NO. SETTLE DOWN. BOY, FOR
SOMEBODY WITH SUCH A BIG MOUTH,
YOU SURE SUCK AT THIS.
>> IT´S ONLY MY THIRD BLOW JOB.
BUT IF YOU GIVE ME SOME
POINTERS, I CAN GET BETTER.
>> NO, NO, I--NO, NO, NO.
LISTEN TO ME.
I THINK IT´S ABOUT ME.
I--I JU--IT´S NOT YOU. I THINK
I´M JUST NERVOUS ABOUT THE
SURGERY.
>> OH. GOT YOU.
>> THIS IS NOT A BIG DEAL.
THERE´S MORE TO OUR RELATIONSHIP
THAN SEX. IN A WAY, IT KIND OF
INTERFERES WITH THE INTIMACY.
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> DON´T YOU THINK?
>> WE HAVE L.B.D.
>> ENGLISH, LIZZIE.
>> LESBIAN BED DEATH. IT
HAPPENS AFTER A YEAR OR SO.
THERE´S JUST TOO MUCH TALKING
AND NOT ENOUGH SCREWING, EXCEPT
WITH US, IT´S HAPPENING AFTER
THE FIRST WEEK!
>> YOU´RE OVERTHINKING THIS.
YOU WERE GREAT TODAY WITH
WILBUR. WE LAUGHED OURSELVES
SILLY AT THE PIER, RIGHT?
I MEAN, HOW MUCH MORE FUN DO YOU
WANT TO GET OUT OF A DAY?
>> PUT ON "PROJECT RUNWAY." I
GOT TO GO PEE.
>> HEY, LIZZIE. HERE, PUT THIS
ON.
>> YOU CAN´T EVEN LOOK AT ME
NAKED.
>> IT´S CHILLY. I DON´T WANT YOU
TO GET COLD.
>> [SIGH]
>> ♫ MAKE ME BEAUTIFUL
MAKE ME
THE PERFECT SOUL
A PERFECT MIND
A PERFECT FACE
A PERFECT
LIFE ♫
>> SO, RICKY, TELL ME WHAT YOU
DON´T LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF.
>> I WANT TO LOOK OLDER.
>> MRS. WELLS, CHILDREN DO
MATURE AT DIFFERENT RATES. HAVE
YOU AND YOUR SON CONSIDERED JUST
LETTING NATURE RUN ITS COURSE?
>> SHE IS NOT MY MOTHER. SHE´S
MY WIFE.
>> WE WERE MARRIED A FEW WEEKS
AGO.
>> CONGRATULATIONS.
>> AH, OBVIOUSLY, YOU ARE
ATTRACTED TO RICKY, YOUTHFUL
APPEARANCE AND ALL. WHY WOULD
YOU WANT TO CHANGE THAT NOW?
>> I DON´T. I LIKE HIM JUST THE
WAY HE IS, FOR WHAT´S INSIDE.
WHAT´S BETWEEN US IS AGELESS,
BUT THE WORLD DOESN´T SEE IT
THAT WAY.
>> WE CAN NEVER MAKE PEOPLE
UNDERSTAND. I´VE BEEN IN LOVE
WITH HER FROM THE FIRST MOMENT
WE MET.
>> I WAS TEACHING SECOND GRADE,
AND THIS SWEET 8-YEAR-OLD BOY
WALKED INTO MY HOMEROOM AND
ENTERED MY HEART.
>> YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH AN
8-YEAR-OLD?
>> NO, OF COURSE NOT. WE JUST...
WE HAD A RAPPORT. BUT THEN
LATER, WHEN I WAS TEACHING
SEVENTH GRADE AND RICKY SHOWED
UP IN MY CLASS AGAIN--
>> I WAS--I WAS 13.
>> BUT HE WAS VERY MATURE FOR
HIS AGE. HE--HE SEEMED TO
UNDERSTAND ME IN A WAY THAT NO
MAN EVER HAD. DO YOU BELIEVE IN
SOULMATES, DOCTOR?
>> I BELIEVE THAT LITTLE BOYS
HAVE CRUSHES ON THEIR TEACHERS
AND THAT THOSE TEACHERS ARE
SUPPOSED TO HAVE BOUNDARIES.
>> BUT THAT´S THE THING ABOUT
FALLING IN LOVE. THERE ARE NO
BOUNDARIES. MY LIFE WAS
TRANSFORMED. YOU THINK I WOULD
HAVE PICKED RICKY IF I HAD A
CHOICE?
IT WAS AS IF I FINALLY FOUND
HAPPINESS, AND I WAS NOT
GOING TO LET THAT GO...
EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING
CONSPIRED AGAINST US.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
I PLED GUILTY TO TWO COUNTS OF
STATUTORY RAPE. I WAS LET GO
AFTER 6 MONTHS FOR GOOD
BEHAVIOR ON THE CONDITION THAT I
NOT SEE RICKY AGAIN.
>> I--I COULDN´T STAY AWAY.
I JUST---I COULDN´T.
>> OH, RICKY.
OH, JUST LIKE THAT. JUST LIKE
THAT.
BUT...I WAS A CONVICTED SEX
OFFENDER. SO THEY WERE
MONITORING MY WHEREABOUTS.
OH, YES, SWEETIE. GOD. OH. OHH.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
SHIT.
I WENT BACK TO PRISON FOR THE
FULL TERM.
>> THE MINUTE I TURNED 18, I
APPLIED TO THE COURT TO LIFT THE
NO-CONTACT ORDER. THE REQUEST
WAS GRANTED, AND, UH, WE GOT
MARRIED A WEEK LATER.
WELL, WE´RE FREE NOW. WHO GIVES
A SHIT WHAT PEOPLE SAY?
>> RICKY.
>> SORRY.
>> ONCE A TEACHER...
>> IF YOU DON´T CARE WHAT THEY
SAY, WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT YOU
LOOK LIKE?
>> BECAUSE I´M GONNA BE A
FATHER.
>> I´M 4 MONTHS ALONG.
>> AND I--I DON´T WANT PEOPLE TO
THINK I´M MY KID´S OLDER
BROTHER. THAT WOULD BE
DISRESPECTFUL TO CARRIE MAY AND
THE FAMILY WE´RE TRYING TO
BUILD.
>> OUR LOVE HAS BEEN LEGITIMIZED
IN THE EYES OF THE LAW, BUT WE
CAN´T TRANSFORM SOCIETY. SO
WE´LL DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO SO
THAT PEOPLE LEAVE US IN PEACE.
>> AH, AH, AH, AH.
>> WHAT?
>> JUST FOCUS. YOU´RE GETTING
CARELESS.
>> OH, I´M NEVER EATING BACON
AGAIN. THERE WE GO. UGH!
THERE.
DONE.
>> GOOD JOB--IF YOU WERE ASKED
TO REMOVE A LUNG, NOT THE LIVER.
MATT, IF THIS WAS YOUR BIOLOGY
FINAL, YOU´D FAIL. I TOLD YOU, I
WANT TO HELP YOU PREPARE, BUT I
THOUGHT YOU´D AT LEAST STUDY.
>> NO, I DID STUDY. I JUST
DON´T UNDERSTAND IT, YOU KNOW?
>> IT TAKES PRACTICE AND
REPETITION, ALL RIGHT?
IF YOU WANT TO BE A SURGEON,
YOU´RE GONNA HAVE
TO KNOW ALL THIS STUFF BACKWARD
AND FORWARD. AND THIS IS HOW
YOU START. NOW, GIVE ME THE
HEART.
>> IT´S TOO HARD, DAD, OK?
I--I´M JUST NOT SMART ENOUGH TO
UNDERSTAND IT, AND I WANT TO GAG
EVERY TIME I HAVE TO CUT
SOMETHING OPEN.
>> I WAS SQUEAMISH AT FIRST,
TOO.
>> I GUESS I´M JUST NOT YOU. I
DIDN´T INHERIT YOUR BRAINS FOR
THIS SHIT.
>> IS OUR PATIENT PREPPED AND
READY?
>> YES, HE IS, DR. PARESH.
>> I MUST SAY I´M VERY MUCH
LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS
OPERATION, DR. McNAMARA. THIS
KIND OF PECTORAL RECONSTRUCTION
IS VERY RARE. I ALMOST FEEL
LUCKY.
>> WELL, CHRISTIAN MIGHT
DISAGREE WITH YOU.
>> BUT WHAT HE CANNOT DISAGREE
WITH IS THE GOOD HANDS HE´S IN,
BOTH YOURS AND MINE. LIKE
MICHELANGELO, RODIN--WE ARE
MASTER SCULPTORS AT WORK, ARE WE
NOT?
>> EXCEPT YOU´RE NOT WORKING
WITH STONE, BUT HUMAN FLESH.
YOU MUST BE GREATER THAN THE
SCULPTOR.
>> FATHER. WHAT ARE YOU DOING
HERE?
THE CONVENTION ISN´T FOR
ANOTHER COUPLE OF WEEKS.
>> I CAME HERE TO SEE MY SON AT
WORK.
>> DR. SEAN McNAMARA, THIS IS
MY FATHER, THE RENOWNED
CARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON DR.
VIJAY PARESH. HE´S JUST ARRIVED
FROM BANGALORE.
>> IT´S A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU,
DR. PARESH. RAJ SPEAKS VERY
HIGHLY OF YOU.
>> THAT IS PLEASANT TO HEAR.
MAY I ASK, WHAT IS THE OPERATION
THE TWO OF YOU WILL BE
PERFORMING TODAY?
>> PECTORAL RECONSTRUCTION,
POST-MASTECTOMY, ON MY PARTNER,
ACTUALLY.
>> I AM ONLY ASSISTING DR.
McNAMARA.
>> IS IT OK IF I WATCH?
>> OF COURSE.
>> I WAS THINKING WE SHOULD
ORDER FROM THE GRILL TODAY. WHAT
DO YOU THINK? HMM?
ON ME, OF COURSE, SINCE YOU
GUYS ARE DOING ALL THE WORK AND
I´M JUST LAYING HERE.
>> THIS ONE´S PRETTY RELAXED.
HE´S ABOUT TO HAVE INVASIVE
SURGERY, AND ALL´S HE CAN THINK
ABOUT IS FOOD. CAN I PUT HIM
OUT NOW? PLEASE?
>> MM-HMM.
>> MAKE ME BEAUTIFUL.
>> YOU´RE IN GOOD HANDS.
>> I KNOW.
>> OK.
COUNT BACK FROM 100.
>> FROM 100?
>> 100.
>> OK. 100.
99.
>> LIZ CRUZ, I WANTED TO TELL
YOU YOU LOOK VERY BEAUTIFUL
TODAY. HAVE YOU LOST A FEW
POUNDS?
>> I HAVE. NOW I JUST HAVE TO
FIGURE OUT SOMETHING TO DO WITH
MY HAIR.
>> YES, AND YOUR CLOTHES.
>> HIT IT, LINDA.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
15-BLADE.
>> ♫ I AM ♫

>> ♫ I AM SUPERMAN
AND I CAN DO ANYTHING
YOU DON´T REALLY
LOVE THAT GUY
YOU´RE MAKING IT WITH
NOW, DO YOU... ♫
>> WHO´S THAT IN THE HALLWAY?
>> MY FATHER.
>> YOU TWO MUST HAVE A GREAT
RELATIONSHIP. A SON FOLLOWING IN
HIS FATHER´S FOOTSTEPS.
>> AND SPEAKING OF SONS, THERE´S
YOURS, SEAN.
>> RAJ, COME OVER ON THIS SIDE.
WHY DON´T YOU ANCHOR THE
IMPLANT? USE HORIZONTAL
MATTRESS SUTURES, AND THEN
CLOSE. SHOW OFF FOR YOUR FATHER.
>> ♫ I AM SUPERMAN
AND I CAN DO ANYTHING
IF YOU GO... ♫
>> WHAT, UH--WHAT´S GOING ON?
>> I WANTED TO BE HERE FOR
CHRISTIAN´S SURGERY--YOU KNOW,
FOR WHEN HE WAKES UP?
>> DON´T YOU HAVE A MIDTERM
TODAY?
>> EH...
AND I WANTED TO STOP BY TO LET
YOU KNOW IN PERSON I DECIDED TO
DROP ORGANIC CHEMISTRY.
>> NO, MATT, YOU CAN´T.
>> I--I HAVE TO. BETWEEN JENNA
AND CLASSES, SOMETHING HAS TO
GIVE HERE.
>> LOOK. I KNOW HAVING A KID AT
YOUR AGE IS HARD. I WASN´T MUCH
OLDER WHEN YOU WERE BORN. BUT
YOU CAN DO IT, MATT, OK?
AND I
WANT TO HELP YOU AS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE. I´M GONNA ASK RAJ TO
TUTOR YOU. HE´S A WHIZ WITH THIS
STUFF.
>> [SIGH]
OK.
>> YEAH.
>> UM...I, UH, I GOT TO GO PICK
UP JENNA. I´LL SEE YOU BACK AT
THE HOUSE?
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> CHILDREN CAN BRING MUCH
HEADACHE, CAN´T THEY, DR.
McNAMARA?
>> IF MATT HAD HALF THE AMBITION
YOUR SON HAS...
I KNOW SOME OF IT´S MY FAULT.
WE´VE HAD SOME HARD TIMES OVER
THE YEARS. YOU AND RAJ JUST SEEM
MUCH...CLOSER.
>> I DIDN´T FLY 8,000 MILES JUST
TO SEE MY SON OPERATE. I´M HERE
TO GET SURGERY MYSELF. NOW, YOUR
OFFICE DOES PENILE
ENHANCEMENTS, DON´T THEY?
>> ♫ I AM ♫
>> ♫ I AM SUPERMAN
AND I CAN DO ANYTHING ♫
>> VERY IMPRESSIVE SETUP, DR.
McNAMARA. MY SON HAS MANY MORE
ADVANTAGES THAN WHEN I STARTED.
>> BUT YOU MADE SO MUCH WITH THE
LITTLE YOU DID HAVE, FATHER.
>> TRUE. STILL, YOU ARE VERY
LUCKY. FIRST BORN--THEY HOLD
ALL YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS
HOSTAGE, DON´T THEY?
WHICH IS
WHY YOU MUST BE THE ONE TO
PERFORM MY PENIS ENLARGEMENT.
WHERE CAN I GET SOMETHING TO
DRINK?
>> UM...
>> FATHER, TO ASK ME TO PERFORM
THAT SURGERY, I´M--I´M S--I´M
VERY, UM...
>> HONORED?
>> FREAKED OUT.
>> ABOUT TOUCHING MY LINGAM?
YOU ARE A DOCTOR. THERE WOULD BE
NO PROBLEM IF I WERE ANY OTHER
PATIENT.
>> IT´S NOT THAT. I JUST--I...
WHY WOULD YOU WANT SUCH A THING
DONE?
>> WHEN YOUR MOTHER WAS ALIVE, I
NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY
SIZE. NOW SHE´S GONE, AND I´M
TRAVELING THE WORLD, AND I WANT
SOMETHING MORE SUBSTANTIAL TO
WIELD IN MY INTIMACIES.
>> YOU MEAN YOU WANT TO WHORE
AROUND?
>> I LOVED YOUR MOTHER DEARLY.
AND SHE WAS THE REASON FOR MY
LIVING. AND I WANT TO ENJOY
MYSELF SOME MORE. YOU´LL
UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU´RE MARRIED
FOR 20 YEARS YOURSELF.
AM I EMBARRASSING YOU?
>> DR. PARESH, MAYBE BECAUSE OF
THE DELICACY OF THE OPERATION,
YOU´D BE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH A
SENIOR, MORE EXPERIENCED
SURGEON LIKE MYSELF TO PERFORM
YOUR SURGERY.
>> DR. McNAMARA, SURELY YOU CAN
UNDERSTAND WHAT AN HONOR IT
WOULD BE TO HAVE MY OWN SON, THE
BENEFIT OF ALL MY TEACHING,
PERFORM THE SURGERY ON ME. COULD
THERE BE NO PROUDER MOMENT FOR
A FATHER?
>> I´D JUST BE HAPPY IF MY SON
PASSED BIOLOGY RIGHT NOW.
>> MATT. YES, I HAVE TO TUTOR
HIM. I WON´T BE AVAILABLE TO
OPERATE IN THE TIME THAT YOU´RE
HERE. SORRY, FATHER, PREVIOUS
COMMITMENT.
>> THE ONLY TRUE COMMITMENT YOU
HAVE IS TO YOUR FAMILY, RAJEESH.
>> VERY GOOD. I WILL DO THE
SURGERY. YOU ARE RIGHT. WHAT
OTHER DUTY DO I HAVE?
YOU ARE
MY FATHER, AND I OWE YOU
EVERYTHING.
>> MY BOY, YOU HAVE MADE ME SO
PROUD.
>> ♫ YEAH, YEAH, YEAH
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH ♫
>> CHRISTIAN TROY IS BACK IN
ACTION.
>> ♫ YEAH, YEAH, YEAH
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH... ♫

>> HELLO?
HELLO?
GUESS WHAT, HONEY?
I AM IN FULL GIRL DRAG!
>> [BREATHING HEAVILY]
YOU LOOK GREAT, LIZZIE. COULD
YOU CLOSE THE DOOR ON YOUR WAY
OUT?
>> OH, I DON´T THINK SO. GET
YOUR GODDAMN SKINNY ASS UP OFF
THAT TUB, AND GET OUT OF THIS
HOUSE!
>> DOES YOUR MOM ALWAYS YELL AT
YOUR GIRLFRIENDS?
>> MAMA--MAMA IS A LITTLE
POSSESSIVE.
>> WELL, ARE YOU JUST GONNA
STAND THERE SMILING LIKE A
CHESHIRE CAT, HUH?
>> YEAH. YEAH. ACTUALLY...
I DON´T WANT MAMA MAD AT BOTH
OF US. YOU´D BETTER GO. I´M
SORRY. HERE YOU GO.
>> SO...I HOLD YOUR HEAD OVER
THE TOILET, I MOP UP YOUR STINKY
VOMIT, I RUB YOUR BACK, FILL IN
WHEN YOU´RE TOO SICK TO TAKE
CARE OF YOUR CHILD, AND THIS IS
THE WAY YOU TREAT ME!
I EVEN TOOK A CLASS ON THE
GODDAMN ART
OF FELLATIO, YOU DICKHEAD!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
HAS THE
CHEMO KILLED EVERY BIT OF CLASS
THAT YOU EVER HAD?
>> SETTLE DOWN, KILLER, OK?
WE NEVER, EVER TALKED ABOUT A--A
MONOGAMOUS RELATIONSHIP. I MEAN,
THAT WAS JUST NEVER EVEN ON THE
TABLE.
>> I´M NOT TALKING ABOUT
MONOGAMY.
>> WHEW.
>> I AM TALKING ABOUT RESPECT.
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE. YOU HAVEN´T
BEEN FAITHFUL SINCE THE YEAR
JOHN LENNON DIED. I DON´T
EXPECT TO BE THE PERSON WHO´S
GONNA CHANGE ANY OF THAT. BUT
SHOULD I HAVE MY FACE RUBBED IN
IT?
>> LIZZIE. DO I HAVE TO REMIND
YOU THAT THIS IS MY HOUSE?
>> DO I HAVE TO REMIND YOU THAT
YOU INVITED ME OVER HERE THIS
EVENING?
HMM?
>> OH. YOU LOOK GREAT.
THOSE PUMPS--FANTASTIC. DID YOU
LOSE WEIGHT?
>> BITE ME.
>> OH, COME ON. LOOK, I´M AN
ASSHOLE. I´M A DICKHEAD.
I´M--I´M SORRY. I´M SORRY.
LET´S JUST GO OUT TO DINNER OR
SOMETHING...BEFORE YOU TURN
BACK INTO A PUMPKIN AND YOUR
HAIR GOES BRILLO AGAIN. COME
ON, LIZZIE.
>> OK. YOU CAN BUY ME DINNER.
AND WHEN WE GET BACK, YOU CLEAN
THE TUB.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO KIDS HIS
AGE JUST TRYING TO SCORE A FAKE
I.D.?
IT´S JUST SO SAD.
>> THIS IS NOT ABOUT HIM
WANTING TO BUY BEER, LIZ.
LOOKING OLDER IS ABOUT WANTING
TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY, AS A MAN
AND A PARENT.
>> WELL, I´VE HAD MY SHARE OF
BEARDS, AND THEY DIDN´T FOOL
ANYONE EXCEPT FOR ME. AND LOOK
HOW WELL THAT TURNED OUT.
>> WELL, THINGS NOT GOING SO
WELL WITH DR. TROY?
>> WELL, LET´S JUST SAY THAT NO
MATTER WHAT YOU DO TO THE
OUTSIDE, THE INSIDE NEVER REALLY
CHANGES...
WHICH IS BAD NEWS FOR HIM.
>> MAYBE. BUT ANY ADVANTAGE YOU
CAN GET WHEN YOU´RE 18 AND
YOU´RE ABOUT TO HAVE A KID, I´M
ALL FOR.
>> WELL, YOU HAD MATT WHEN YOU
WERE PRETTY YOUNG. HOW´D YOU
COPE WITH ALL THE PRESSURE?
>> I GUESS I JUST DID THE BEST I
COULD AND HOPED EVERYTHING
WOULD TURN OUT ALL RIGHT.
>> WOULDN´T THAT BE GREAT IF
THAT´S ALL IT TOOK?
JUST DOING THE BEST YOU CAN AND
HOPING.
>> HEY, RAJ.
>> DR. SEAN McNAMARA, HELLO. I
WAS JUST RESEARCHING MY
FATHER´S SURGERY.
>> WHERE´S MATT?
AREN´T YOU
SUPPOSED TO BE TUTORING HIM
RIGHT NOW?
>> FOR THE LAST HOUR, YES, BUT
HE HAS NOT SHOWN UP. PERHAPS HE
FORGOT.
>> I REMINDED HIM AGAIN LAST
NIGHT.
>> AS DID I. HE WAS MEANT TO BE
BRINGING DINNER, TOO. I HAVE
BEEN FAMISHED.
>> YEAH, ME, TOO. IT´S BEEN A
LONG DAY.
>> MMM. OHH.
MY MOUTH IS ON FIRE, BUT I
CAN´T STOP EATING THESE AMAZING
POULTRY SAMPLES.
>> YOU´VE REALLY NEVER HAD
CHICKEN WINGS BEFORE?
>> MM-MMM. MM-MMM. MM-MMM.
>> OH. GOT TO TRY THAT BLUE
CHEESE. IT TAKES IT TO A WHOLE
OTHER LEVEL.
RIGHT?
>> OH!
>> AH!
>> OHH!
>> AND THE BEST COMBINATION...
IS WHEN YOU WASH IT ALL DOWN
WITH A COLD BEER.
>> MY FATHER KEPT ME ON A
STRICT VEGETARIAN DIET GROWING
UP. HAVE TO KEEP THE MIND
FOCUSED AND ALL THAT. HE WOULD
NEVER HAVE ALLOWED ME TO EAT
THESE. HE´D BE VERY UPSET IF HE
SAW ME EATING THESE RIGHT NOW.
>> OH. THESE, I CALL SOUL FOOD,
BECAUSE THEY TASTE GREAT,
THEY´RE BAD FOR YOU, BUT THEY
KEEP YOUR SPIRITS UP. SOMETIMES
YOU NEED THAT.
>> HMM.
ARE YOU SURE?
>> YEAH, ONE SIP´S OK. I´VE
BROUGHT YOU THIS FAR.
>> OH.
OH.
>> YEAH, OK. ALL RIGHT.
>> OHH.
CAN WE GET SOME MORE?
>> NO. YOUR FATHER WOULD KILL ME
IF HE FOUND OUT.
>> MATT IS VERY LUCKY TO HAVE A
FATHER LIKE YOU.
>> NOW, IF ONLY HE COULD GET
YOUR GRADES, WE´D BOTH BE HAPPY.
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
>> CHICKEN WINGS ANONYMOUS.
>> DUDE, WHERE ARE YOU?
I THOUGHT WE WERE WORKING
TONIGHT.
>> MATT!
YOUR FATHER AND I WERE JUST
TALKING ABOUT YOU.
TELL ME, HAVE YOU EVER HAD BEER?
>> WHAT? I--I CAN BARELY HEAR
YOU, MAN.
>> HEY, WE WAITED AT THE HOUSE
FOR OVER AN HOUR. WHAT HAPPENED?
>> YEAH. UM, I--I GOT HELD UP.
I´M SORRY ABOUT THAT. WAIT A
MINUTE. ARE YOU GUYS AT A BAR?
>> YES, AND, UM, RAJ AND I ARE
HAVING A LITTLE SOUL FOOD. SO
WE´LL HAVE TO CATCH UP WHEN I
GET HOME, OK?
>> WELL, WAIT. I CAN COME AND
MEET YOU GUYS. WHERE ARE YOU?

>> WHO IS IT?
>> IT´S CHRISTIAN.
>> DON´T YOU BELIEVE IN CALLING?
>> IT´S IMPOLITE TO CALL AFTER
12:00. IT WAS A JOKE, LIZZIE.
LET ME IN.
>> NO.
[BANGING ON DOOR]
NO!
I´M ASLEEP. I´M ONLY
PRETENDING TO BE AWAKE. OH, NO.
CASA DE LA CRUZ IS CLOSED, AND
SO ARE MY LEGS.
OH, JESUS CHRIST!
WHAT IS THAT?
>> IT´S MY IMPLANT. IT HAS A
LIFE OF ITS OWN. I TRIED
CALLING SEAN, BUT HE WOULDN´T
PICK UP, THE ASSHOLE.
>> OH, WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT´S NO BIG DEAL.
>> OH!
>> THE SUTURES TORE. THEY GOT
LOOSE. YOU WEREN´T SUPPOSED TO
BE ENGAGING IN ANYTHING
STRENUOUS. YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT?
>> WHAT´S GOING ON, BABE?
>> ARE YOU CHEATING ON ME?
>> YOU´RE STRAIGHT?
>> UH, NO. AND YES. NOW GO. UH,
YOU KNOW WHAT, HONEY?
I´M GONNA BE RIGHT BACK IN. JUST
ONE SECOND, OK? I PROMISE.
>> OH.
>> I MEAN IT, CHRISTIAN. NOW,
GO. WHEN YOU GET IN THE OFFICE
IN THE MORNING, WE´LL GO BACK IN
AND WE´LL RE-SUTURE--HALF AN
HOUR, TOPS.
>> I CAN´T BELIEVE YOU´VE GONE
BACK TO MUFF DIVING.
AT LEAST IF IT WAS A MAN, I
KNOW I COULD WIN.
>> OH. AND WINNING IS WHAT
COUNTS, RIGHT?
>> DO YOU LOVE HER?
>> GOOD NIGHT, CHRISTIAN.
>> GOOD MORNING, BABY.
LOOK WHO CAME TO SEE YOUR
UNVEILING.
>> HEY, BRO. WHAT´S UP?
GOOD TO SEE YOU, POP.
>> I MISSED YOU, SON. WE´VE ALL
MISSED YOU.
>> REALLY?
THEN HOW COME MOM DIDN´T COME?
>> SHE WANTED TO, BUT I SAID
THAT´S TOO MANY PEOPLE.
>> BUT SHE WANTS YOU AND CARRIE
MAY TO COME OVER. SHE TOLD ME
TO TELL YOU AS SOON AS YOU GOT
OUT, SHE WAS GONNA MAKE A BIG
JAMBALAYA FEAST.
>> I GUESS I´M NOT THE DEVIL
ANYMORE.
>> WE JUST, UH--WE JUST WANT TO
KNOW OUR GRANDCHILD.
>> ISN´T THAT GREAT, BABY?
>> WOW. THAT´S FANTASTIC.
>> HELLO, EVERYONE. SO, ARE WE
READY TO UNVEIL THE NEW, MATURE
RICKY?
>> WE CERTAINLY ARE. OH, AND,
UH, THIS IS RICKY´S LITTLE
BROTHER CHRIS. HE´S ALWAYS BEEN
A SUPPORTER OF OUR
RELATIONSHIP. HE´S YOUNG, BUT HE
UNDERSTANDS.
>> I´M ROBERT, RICKY´S FATHER.
>> GOOD TO MEET YOU. OK. LET´S
SEE.
>> WOW. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
WHAT DO YOU THINK, BABE?
DO I LOOK
MORE LIKE A HUSBAND AND FATHER?
>> MY GOD. YOU LOOK SO
DIFFERENT, IT´S--IT´S KIND OF
SHOCKING.
>> I HOPE IT´S WHAT YOU WERE
LOOKING FOR. I THINK IT´S
NATURAL. IT´S STILL YOU, BUT
WITH A LITTLE MORE GRAVITAS. I
THINK IT´LL GIVE YOU THAT LEG UP
YOU WANT.
>> IT´S AMAZING. I MEAN, UM,
DON´T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY,
BUT...
>> YOU LOOK LIKE DAD NOW.
>> YEAH. YEAH, YOU CERTAINLY DO.
>> WAIT, PLEASE. WHAT EXACTLY
ARE YOUR PERCENTAGES, AND WHAT
DEPTH OF GUEDEL´S STAGES ARE YOU
TAKING ME?
>> MEDICAL INFO TO FOLLOW.
>> I´M NOT A HORSE YOU´RE
PUTTING UNDER. WHO TAUGHT YOU
YOUR JOB?
>> FATHER, DR. LIZ CRUZ IS A
FANTASTIC ANESTHESIOLOGIST.
>> LIZ AND I HAVE DONE THOUSANDS
OF SURGERIES TOGETHER. I ASSURE
YOU, YOU COULD NOT BE IN BETTER
HANDS.
>> SEAN!
HOW LONG UNTIL YOU´RE GONNA BE
DONE IN HERE? MY TIT
IS FALLING ALL OVER THE PLACE.
IT´S UNDERNEATH MY RIBCAGE. YOU
NEED TO FIX IT.
>> YOU RUPTURED YOUR SUTURES?
WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO, RUN A
MARATHON?
>> BAGGED ANOTHER BIMBO.
>> THIS IS YOUR FAULT, NOT
MINE, ALL RIGHT?
YOU OBVIOUSLY DIDN´T SECURE THE
IMPLANT PROPERLY. HOW COULD YOU
BE SO CARELESS?
HUH?
>> SEAN DID NOT DO THAT TO YOU,
DR. CHRISTIAN TROY. I DID. MY
SUTURES WERE CLEARLY
SUBSTANDARD.
>> YOU LET DOOGIE HOWSER OPERATE
ON ME?
OH. DO YOU REALIZE IF I
WAS A REGULAR PATIENT, YOU COULD
BE SUED FOR MALPRACTICE?
>> IT IS COMPLETELY MY MISTAKE,
SIR.
>> RAJEESH, YOU WERE THE ONE WHO
FOULED UP THIS MAN´S SURGICAL
IMPLANT?
>> YES, BUT I WAS A BIG ENOUGH
MAN TO ADMIT IT.
>> IT DOESN´T TAKE A BIG MAN TO
ADMIT HIS MISTAKES WHEN ONLY A
FOOL MAKES THEM IN THE FIRST
PLACE!
>> SINCE YOU ARE THE ONE WHO
TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING I KNOW,
PERHAPS IT IS YOUR FAULT AS
WELL.
>> DON´T YOU EVER BLAME YOUR
INCOMPETENCE ON ME!
MY APOLOGIES.
HE DESERVED THAT.
GET ME OUT OF HERE.
>> SO YOU REALLY KNOW ENOUGH
ABOUT HYDROCARBONS TO DO THIS?
>> MATT, I TOLD YOU IF GOT ME
HIGH, I´D WRITE THE ORGANIC
CHEMISTRY PAPER FOR YOU. JUST
DUMB IT DOWN BEFORE YOU HAND IT
IN. NOBODY WILL KNOW THE
DIFFERENCE.
I LOVE THIS REFRESHING ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGE. I NEVER HAD ONE
BEFORE YOUR FATHER BOUGHT ONE
FOR ME.
>> YEAH. I DON´T THINK THAT GUY
EVER BOUGHT ME A DRINK IN MY
ENTIRE LIFE. MY DAD´S A COMPLETE
HARD-ASS.
>> DOES HE HIT YOU?
>> YEAH, IT´S BEEN KNOWN TO
HAPPEN, SURE.
>> REALLY?
THAT IS A SURPRISE TO ME.
>> WELL, IT WAS ONLY ONCE. I
LIED TO MY PARENTS. I WAS DRUNK,
AND I SHOVED MY MOM. AND I
DARED HIM TO DO IT.
>> [LAUGHS]
SO YOU DESERVED IT.
>> YEAH.
>> I REMEMBER ONE DAY MY FATHER
HIT ME WHEN I CAME HOME WITH A
"B" FOR MY MIDTERM PHYSICS EXAM.
HE SAID I´D EMBARRASSED HIM.
NOT ONE STUDENT IN THE CLASS GOT
AN "A." THE HIGHEST MARK WAS A
"B," BUT I EMBARRASSED HIM. I
WAS 9 YEARS OLD. EVER SINCE I
WAS OLD ENOUGH TO HOLD A BABY
RATTLE, MY FATHER HAS PUSHED,
PUSHED, PUSHED ME TO BE A
SURGEON. HE ALWAYS SAID I HAD
SUCH A GREAT GIFT AND THAT IF I
DIDN´T WORK AS HARD AS I COULD
TO BECOME A SURGEON, THAT IT
WOULD BE THE EQUIVALENT OF
MURDER, THAT I WOULD BE
MURDERING PEOPLE IF I DIDN´T
WORK AS HARD AS I COULD TO SAVE
MORE LIVES.
>> THAT´S INSANE.
>> EXACTLY. I MEAN, WHAT DO YOU
SAY TO THAT?
YOU´D THINK WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT
I WAS GOING TO
BECOME A PLASTIC SURGEON INSTEAD
OF A HEART SPECIALIST LIKE HIM,
HE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE HINT,
BUT NO, NO. HE JUST SAID, "SON,
YOU WILL ONLY BE DOING
RECONSTRUCTIVE OPERATIONS, HUH?
NONE OF THIS COSMETIC BULLSHIT."
THIS COMING FROM A MAN WHO
WANTS HIS DICK MADE BIGGER!
SOMETIMES I THINK...
THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO STOP HIM
IS...
IS TO CUT OFF MY HANDS.
>> LOOK. I--I GET IT, MAN. YOUR
DAD PUSHED YOU REALLY HARD.
THAT SUCKS. BUT YOU´RE ALREADY A
PLASTIC SURGEON. THAT´S A
PRETTY SWEET WAY TO LIVE A LIFE,
RAJ.
>> BUT IT´S NOT MY DREAM. AND
NOW I´M 17, AND I HAVE MY
ENTIRE LIFE PLANNED OUT FOR ME.
I DON´T HAVE A CHOICE.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
COOL TO BE A "PLAYBOY"
PHOTOGRAPHER.
MEANWHILE, MY ENTIRE SEXUAL
HISTORY CONSISTS OF A SINGLE
BLOW JOB...FROM A MAN.
OH, MY LIFE SUCKS, MATT.
>> DON´T WORRY ABOUT IT, MAN.
I HAD SEX WITH A TRANSSEXUAL
ONCE.
SEVERAL TIMES, ACTUALLY.
IT´S TRUE. OH, MAN. I GOT TO
CALL MY SPONSOR. I SH--SHOULD
NOT BE DOING THIS.
WHAT A JOKE, YOU KNOW? I´M
CLOSER TO MY SPONSOR THAN I AM
MY OWN DAD.
>> MATT.
>> HMM?
>> YOU´VE GOT TO DO ME A FAVOR.
>> WHAT?
>> GET OUT OF THE CAR AND COME
OVER TO MY SIDE.
>> WHY?
>> MATT, PLEASE. OVER TO MY
SIDE.
>> YEAH, OK.
>> SLAM THE DOOR ON IT.
>> DUDE, YOU´RE TOTALLY BAKED.
NO. NO WAY.
>> DO IT. I WON´T TELL ANYONE
YOU WERE INVOLVED.
>> WHAT?
>> MATT, I HAVE BEEN THINKING
ABOUT THIS FOR A VERY LONG
TIME, AND IT IS THE ONLY WAY OUT
FOR ME. DO IT.
>> LOOK, RAJ, THIS IS NUTS, MAN.
>> DO IT!
IF YOU DON´T DO IT, I´LL JUST
FIND SOMEONE ELSE WHO WILL. DO
IT. DO IT BECAUSE YOUR FATHER
HIT YOU. DO IT BECAUSE HE IS
PRESSURING YOU TO BE A DOCTOR.
DO IT BECAUSE HE LIKES ME
BETTER THAN HE LIKES YOU. DO IT
BECAUSE NEXT TO ME, YOUR LIFE
IS A FAILURE!
YOU ARE A LOSER, MATT!
YOU ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT!
YOU ARE NOTHING! YOUR FATHER
TOLD ME!
[SCREAMS]
>> I WAS ABLE TO REATTACH MOST
OF THE SEVERED NERVE ENDINGS...
BUT HE´LL NEVER HAVE COMPLETE
USE OF HIS HAND.
>> THAT´S TOUGH.
I KNOW HE WAS LIKE A SON TO YOU.
>> THE SON I HAVE IS THE SON I
LOVE, WHETHER HE SHARES MY
DREAMS OR NOT. YOU DON´T HAVE
TO BE A DOCTOR FOR ME TO LOVE
YOU, MATT. JUST COMES WITH THE
TERRITORY.
I JUST CAN´T UNDERSTAND HOW RAJ
COULD HAVE SLAMMED THE DOOR LIKE
THAT ON HIS OWN HAND.
>> IF YOU´RE DESPERATE ENOUGH,
I GUESS YOU´LL DO WHATEVER IT
TAKES TO BE HEARD.
>> COME ON. I´LL WALK WITH YOU.
SO IF YOU DON´T WANT TO BE A
DOCTOR, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE?
>> YOU´LL LAUGH.
>> I MIGHT. BUT TRY ME. I´M
LISTENING.
>> OK. WELL, YOU KNOW, LAST
YEAR WHEN YOU WERE ON "HEARTS ´N
SCALPELS," I THOUGHT, WELL,
MAYBE THAT´S WHAT I SHOULD BE,
YOU KNOW, A DOCTOR. THEN I
REALIZED I DON´T ACTUALLY WANT
TO BE A DOCTOR. I JUST WANT TO
PLAY ONE ON TV.
>> YOU WANT TO BE AN ACTOR?
>> YEAH!
OH, LOOK, MAN. YOU WERE AWESOME
ON THAT SHOW, YOU KNOW?
SO IN A WAY, I´LL STILL BE
FOLLOWING IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS,
JUST WITHOUT THE ORGANIC
CHEMISTRY AND CUTTING UP FETAL
PIGS, YOU KNOW?
>> BELIEVE ME, MATT, AFTER A
YEAR OF ACTING, YOU´RE GONNA
MISS THAT PIG.
BE GOOD.
>> I´LL TRY.
>> HONEY, I´M HOME. I SOLD TWO
COPIERS TODAY.
>> [MOANING]
>> SEAN...
CAN I TALK TO YOU
ABOUT SOMETHING?
>> HEY. LONG DAY?
>> VERY.
>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> LIZ WON´T BE COMING OVER
TONIGHT FOR YOUR
KISS-AND-MAKE-UP DINNER.
>> HUH. HOW DO YOU KNOW?
>> SHE TOLD ME, RIGHT AFTER SHE
RESIGNED.
>> SHE´LL GET OVER IT. CHRIST, I
THOUGHT SHE WAS DIFFERENT FROM
THE OTHERS.
>> YOU MEAN LACKING
SENSITIVITY?
IMPERVIOUS TO YOUR BULLSHIT?
SORRY, PAL. WOMEN ARE
WOMEN, EVEN IF THEY USED TO BE
LESBIANS.
>> LOOK. I DON´T NEED YOUR
OPINION ON THIS, ALL RIGHT?
I KNOW YOU DON´T APPROVE.
>> I KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT ABOUT
YOUR RELATIONSHIP THE ENTIRE
TIME. I THOUGHT IT WAS A
TERRIBLE IDEA. YOU DON´T SHIT
WHERE YOU EAT.
>> OH, LOOK. SPARE
ME THE CLICHES AND THE
SENSITIVITY, WOULD YOU?
I DON´T NEED IT.
>> YOU DO. YOU BREAK HEARTS AND
YOU HURT PEOPLE WITH YOUR
NARCISSISM,
AND THE SAD THING IS,
LIZ THOUGHT YOU WOULD CHANGE FOR
HER.
>> LOVE AND SEX DON´T HAVE TO BE
INTERCHANGEABLE. LIZZIE KNOWS
THAT.
>> APPARENTLY NOT, BECAUSE
RIGHT AFTER SHE RESIGNED AND I
LOST THE BEST ANESTHESIOLOGIST
I EVER HAD, SHE INFORMED SHE´S
MOVING BACK TO MIAMI.
