VioletYou'll have Dell.
He's studying to be a midwife.
The cute boy who answers the phone?
VioletLook, I know she has the largest chunk in this practice, but we agreed to equal votes. We are supposed to vote! Sam, you ought to do something!
What, me?
VioletThis divorce is killing us! You need to go apologize.
Just say you were wrong for walking out, so we can go back to being a happy family.
VioletYeah!
I never... I didn't... I am not apologizing to her. She's the one.... Naomi hires Addison and then moves her in right next door to me. I saw her naked this morning.
You saw her naked?
Did she look good naked?
Focus!
(In the conference room)
We're a team.
VioletWe're partners, Naomi.
You can't just bring somebody in.
Without asking us.
VioletYeah.
We're a democracy. We vote.
We vote.
VioletWe vote or it doesn't happen.
You're right. We should've voted. I was wrong.
VioletGood. Okay, let's vote.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a minute. Uh, I have been working here less than 24 hours, and in that time I discovered that I not welcome here, I learned I am a one-man gynie show, and I performed crazy McGyver surgery, and...Sam saw my booty. So...this has not been a great day for me. This day kind of sucked. But you know what I had one patient...one patient the entire day...and I loved it. So you want me gone? Too bad. I'm in. I'm putting my foot down. My foot's down. It's down. I'm not going anywhere. So...yeah. I thought I...I thought I had a big finish but...I don't. So...I'm done. No, no. I do have a big finish. If I hadn't been here today, if you'd had someone else, that girl would've died delivering her baby. I saved her life. I saved your asses. I'm a world-class neonatal surgeon. And I'm here to stay. Welcome to the new Oceanside Wellness.(Addison leaves)
That's why I didn't tell you she was coming.
Addison is mad at me because Cooper hired a stripper.
VioletI'm ignoring the stripper. Today is a day for ignoring things. I am all business today.
VioletWilliam Jefferson Clinton.
Huh?
VioletIt's 2010. Bill and Hillary have grown apart. It's nothing he did, just... it happens. We inexplicably run into each other at the Lincoln Memorial and it's very late night...
[groaning] Oh my god.
VioletHe recognizes something in me, something that makes him feel... whole. So we talk about the Camp David Summit, some chat about how we can't possibly, the Secret Service. Next thing you know I have a presidential library in Little Rock and there's a legendary picture of me and Bill laughing and sharing sections of The Times while our child plays under the dinner table, and... orgasm.
You're really over Allen, aren't you?
VioletOh, I got Bill now. Bill's all I need.
[Violet and Cooper are getting ready to have sex. Violet has just disrobed]
[looks up from taking off his trousers] Oh, you're... wow, you're naked.
VioletYeah, it makes the sex easier.
It's just, ah, I've never seen you naked. In the office, you always have your clothes on.
VioletWell, yeah, I try to be a professional.
[Cooper stands there with his arms crossed in front of him]
Violet[indicating to his underwear] Rip off the bandaid, Coop. I did.
[after a long pause] Yeah... can't.
VioletY... you have to... you've already seen me naked.
I know, and you're... beautiful. I'm sorry, I... thought I could but... [starts putting his clothes back on]
VioletYou can't reject me, you have low standards... you have no standards!
It's different, Violet.
VioletNo, it's not different! I... I am offering you uncomplicated, unemotional sex.
No! I... You're... you're not some random girl from the Internet, with you it doesn't mean nothing... it never will...
I was humiliated.
VioletWere you completely naked? Did you stand in front of him like a peeled banana while he looked over your best parts? Because I have good parts and Cooper passed on them. I have good parts!
Damm right you do and so do I!
VioletI like your breasts.
You have a good ass.
VioletThank you! I like it.
Hey, hey, hey! The point is, we should not be having sex in the office.
VioletWho's having sex in the office?
No one. No one! That's the point! It gets complicated, you just... you don't know where you stand.
I miss the good old days. When life and death was decided by God instead of doctors.
VioletWell, we'd be out of jobs.
[explaining a procedure to Jodie, the temp] Actually, the treatment is preformed on the whole body, adapted for skin sensitivity of each individual, so-
Violet[scoffs] This place is bad enough without you trying to sell your magic beans to everyone. I mean, does she really look like she needs help? Does that body need... anything? I mean, does any body really need its fat pulverized into submission?
Violet, Violet, you know what you are? You are a... a judger. You're a judgy judger who has no right to judge until she tries it for herself.
Violet[to Charlotte] You're opening a practice here? What about Cooper?
This has nothing to do with him.
VioletHe's your boyfriend.
This is business and Cooper is personal.
VioletIt's not that simple.
Maybe not for you, but I am not a therapist. I don't have to talk about my feelings until everyone else's ears bleed.
Who knew that meaningless sex could be amazing?
VioletYou had meaningless sex? Congratulations.
VioletI am sex-less. I am without sex. Which can be healthy. Celibacy in some cultures is seen as a sign of strength. So I am strong. I am a strong healthy woman.
Hm, I miss sex.
What are you talking about? You've got a gorgeous man sleeping in your bed.
Yeah, that's all he is doing in my bed. Doctor's orders.
You have sex on the horizon, which is better than having had amazing sex in your recent past with no visible sign of it happening ever again.
VioletI slept with Pete! [she pauses] There, I told you.
You know, I expected better from you.
VioletI'm sorry. It just happened-
You know what? If that's how you want to play it, fine.
VioletWhat are you talking about?
When you're ready to be mature and tell me who you really slept with I'll be around for you, Violet.
VioletI'm not lying to you. I really slept with Pete.
Okay. [steps out the door]
VioletWhere are you going?
I don't want to be late for my date with Angelina Jolie.
Are you still having sex with the same guy? The same guy, huh? Finally going to 'fess up and tell me who?
VioletI told you whom it was, and you didn't believe me.
Who it was. And you told me Pete, which is an obfuscation, lying really.
VioletIt's Pete, Cooper. I'm having sex with Pete. You need me to prove it to you?
VioletI thought I was okay with it. But I'm not sure if I am okay with it. I'm sleeping with two men. Do I get a lecture now?
Yes. Yes, you do. This is good. This is progress.
