Christian Troy quotes from Nip/Tuck

Sean

Just what you always wanted, right? No ethical restraints and a shitload of money.

Christian

You left out sexual depravity and devil worship.

Christian

[referring to Sean] He was my mirror, you know? I'd look at him and see who I was.

Kimber

Baby, you can't depend on mirrors. They can make you look fat or old or too thin. And Sean's made you look small. Way smaller than you are.

Christian

I grew up in foster homes with nothing. Now I have a life. I have a fiancee, friends, a business. You can get through anything if you want to.

Not if you have a living reminder of your pain coming over for dinner every Friday night. I have worked hard to build walls around my family so that none of that ugliness that your father did to me would ever get in and stain us.

Christian

Is that what I am to you? A stain?

No. You're my son. But I can't be your mother.

Quentin

[on phone] Talk to you later, Chris. [to Christian] Guess whose literary agent contact got us the front page of the New England Journal of Medicine?

Christian

Is Chris a boy or a girl?

Quentin

She's a girl, Christian. With a bit of a mustache problem, so I just pretend she's a boy when I'm banging her in the ass.

Sean

I am in the middle of packing up my house.

Christian

And Quentin and I are in the middle of a facial transplant!

Sean

I know this is hard for you, Christian. I've been either at your side or in the next room for every one of your surgeries but you need to get used to having an identity as a doctor without me.

Christian

This isn't about me. This is about a patient, a young girl who deserves to be more than just a failed ego-driven experiment written up in medical journals.

Christian

I don't want you in the porn business any more. Period. And I want you to stop selling those dolls. Do you realize how many men are boning you right now? I went online. Hundreds of those things have been sold.

Kimber

Twelve hundred and thirty eight. Each sale's eight thousand dollars in my pocket, by the way.

Christian

Well, now we're getting married, you don't need the money.

Kimber

It's not about the money, Christian. This is about my career.

Christian

How would you feel if I took a mould of my cock, passed it round South Beach and called it a career?

Kimber

If hundreds of men can use my doll to get off four times a day, you screwing one Kimber wannabe isn't the end of the world. You are cheating on me with... Me!

Christian

So I can screw all your graduates now?

Sean

Since Julia and I split up, have you and she ever talked about giving it a try?

Christian

I don't think we've both ever been single at the same time.

Sean

That's not an answer.

Christian

I don't harbour any feelings for her if that's what you're asking. I wouldn't do that to you. Again.

Julia

My fears about Sean turned into the need to find out if you were really the one.

Christian

Theres still something. Someting unresolved between us. After all these years.

Julia

Sleeping together didn't resolve anything. We simply made a mistake that many people paid dearly for.

Christian

Maybe I'll always be alone. Maybe thats just the way it's meant to be.

Sean

You know, you've never really been alone.

Christian

Really? My bride left me at the altar. My partner left me for a midlife crisis. Am I missing something?

Sean

I can help you with one of those things. I'd like to come back to the practice.

Christian

You mean that?

Sean

I do.

Sean

We don't need you for this surgery, Quentin. Why don't you just go home?

Christian

Or why don't you head down to the docks? I hear there's a whole bunch of sailors just arrived with three-day passes.

Liz

Look, after being attacked, accused of murder, rejected by your mother, and dumped by your bride, who wouldn't be angry? It all makes sense. You've had a really rough year, Christian, but you shouldn't be taking it out on her.

Christian

Enough with your feminazi bullshit, Liz! [Edit] Shut up and serve the surgeon!!

Christian

The Messiah? Liz, I thought you were an athiest.

Liz

I kinda go on the wagon around the holidays. You miss out on too much good music if you don't.

Christian

Not a bad way to spend the holidays.

Matt

Two single men, watching football, eating Chinese. That's America.
