Nip/Tuck · Season 3
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.
Is that what I am to you? A stain?
No. You're my son. But I can't be your mother.
That's what families are for--breaking our hearts.
And putting them back together.
[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?
Is Chris a boy or a girl?
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.
I am in the middle of packing up my house.
And Quentin and I are in the middle of a facial transplant!
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.
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.
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.
Twelve hundred and thirty eight. Each sale's eight thousand dollars in my pocket, by the way.
Well, now we're getting married, you don't need the money.
It's not about the money, Christian. This is about my career.
How would you feel if I took a mould of my cock, passed it round South Beach and called it a career?
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!
So I can screw all your graduates now?
After the wedding, we agree on two things. No more porn for me, and no more affairs for you. [Edit] Oh, don't worry, there's a clause in there that still allows for threesomes.
Since Julia and I split up, have you and she ever talked about giving it a try?
I don't think we've both ever been single at the same time.
That's not an answer.
I don't harbour any feelings for her if that's what you're asking. I wouldn't do that to you. Again.
[to Christian and Sean] I'm sorry, I just have to say something: I've been doing this for a lot of years, and you two are the most elegant, sharing couple I've ever met.
My fears about Sean turned into the need to find out if you were really the one.
Theres still something. Someting unresolved between us. After all these years.
Sleeping together didn't resolve anything. We simply made a mistake that many people paid dearly for.
[to Sean and Christian] So much water under the bridge. And here we are. Still standing. Still pretty fantastic. Let's toast us. To survival with grace.
A way to a man's heart is not entrapping him with your tragedy.
Did he do this to you? All this bitterness as a result of loving you too much?
No, I was always a bitch.
Maybe I'll always be alone. Maybe thats just the way it's meant to be.
You know, you've never really been alone.
Really? My bride left me at the altar. My partner left me for a midlife crisis. Am I missing something?
I can help you with one of those things. I'd like to come back to the practice.
You mean that?
I do.
