>> THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO

FOR YOUR SON IS TIP-TOE AROUND

HIS CONDITION.

>> LUCKILY IT LOOKS LIKE WE´LL

BE ABLE TO RECONSTRUCT HIS HANDS

WITH A SERIES OF SURGERIES. WE

FEEL IT´S HIS BEST CHANCE TO

LIVE A NORMAL LIFE.

>> MRS. GRUBMAN, YOU HAVE A

PLASTIC SURGERY ADDICTION

PROBLEM.

>> HOLY SHIT, SHE´S IN V-FIB.

>> COME ON. YOU´RE NOT GONNA DIE

ON ME, YOU CRAZY BITCH.

>> FIX ME, PLEASE.

>> THIS TIME I CAN´T. I´M SORRY.

>> THIS IS FOR OLD TIMES´ SAKE.

TELL ME WHAT YOU DON´T LIKE

ABOUT YOURSELF.

>> HA HA. DR. TROY.

>> CAN I ANSWER THAT ONE,

´CAUSE THERE ARE A FEW THINGS

I DON´T LIKE ABOUT DRIVING

MISS CRAZY HERE.

>> NO, YOU CAN´T ANSWER THAT,

EVETTA. IF I WANTED SOMEONE WITH

AN OPINION, I´D HAVE HIRED

STAR JONES.

>> WELL, LET´S SEE STAR JONES

WIPE YOUR ASS AND CHANGE YOUR

DEPENDS FOR $12 AN HOUR. HMM.

>> WELL, MAYBE IF YOU LEARNED TO

COOK, I WOULDN´T HAVE DIARRHEA

ALL THE TIME.

>> I SEE THE SPEECH THERAPY IS

COMING ALONG QUITE WELL, MRS. G.

>> IT HAD TO. IT´S MY ONLY

DEFENSE AGAINST THE VERBAL

ONSLAUGHT. BUT IT HAS BEEN A

LONG RECOVERY, DR. TROY.

>> A LONG RECOVERY.

>> I COULDN´T STAND THAT

CONVALESCENT HOME ANOTHER DAY.

SO I MOVED HOME AND HIRED

EVETTA FOR AROUND-THE-CLOCK

ASSISTANCE. I´VE BEEN IN

SECLUSION FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS.

>> I KNOW. I TRIED TO STOP BY,

AND THEY SAID, UH, YOU DIDN´T

WANT TO SEE ME.

>> OH, NOW, DON´T TAKE IT

PERSONALLY, DOLL. I HAVEN´T SEEN

ANYONE. I WAS SO DEPRESSED ABOUT

HOW I LOOKED, I WOULDN´T EVEN

LET MY OWN DAUGHTER VISIT ME.

YOU SEE, DR. TROY, I WAS

PREPARING FOR MY TRIUMPHANT

RETURN. NOW, THE GOAL WAS TO

REEMERGE AT A GALA AFFAIR

ATTENDED BY EVERYBODY WHO´S

ANYBODY IN MIAMI. AND THE FINAL

STEP, BEFORE MY COMING OUT WAS

A VISIT HERE FOR A FEW REFRESHER

OPERATIONS.

>> "WAS"? WHY THE PAST TENSE?

>> WELL, THERE MAY NOT BE TIME

FOR A PARTY ANY LONGER,

DR. TROY. YOU SEE, UH, A FEW

DAYS AGO, I FOUND OUT THAT I

HAVE STAGE 4 LUNG CANCER. IT HAS

METASTASIZED TO MY BONES AND MY

LIVER. THERE´S NOTHING THEY CAN

DO. THE GRIM REAPER COULD ASK ME

FOR A FINAL SAMBA AT ANY MOMENT.

>> MRS. GRUBMAN. I´M VERY SORRY.

>> AH, DON´T BE. I´VE ACCEPTED

IT. BUT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.

SO I´LL NEED THE SURGERIES

RIGHT AWAY.

>> YOU MUST BE INSANE,

MRS. GRUBMAN. THE STRESS OF AN

INVASIVE PROCEDURE WOULD BE TOO

MUCH FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.

>> YEAH, I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT SAY

THAT. SO WE´LL MOVE ON TO

PLAN "B." YOU´LL PERFORM THE

OPERATIONS AFTER I DIE. WE´LL

MAKE MY COMING-OUT PARTY

MY FUNERAL. I´LL BE THE BEST

LOOKING CORPSE SINCE ZSA ZSA

GABOR. ALTHOUGH SHE´D NEVER FIT

INTO THE SIZE 2 I´LL BE WEARING

IN MY CASKET.

>> ZSA ZSA IS DEAD?

>> NOT OFFICIALLY.

>> HA HA! THAT WAS A GOOD ONE,

SHIT PANTS. HA HA!

>> I´LL NEED TO SUCK 60 POUNDS

OUT OF YOU TO GET YOU INTO A

SIZE 2 DRESS.

>> WHAT DO I CARE? I´LL BE DEAD.

>> MRS. GRUBMAN, I´M YOUR

PLASTIC SURGEON. I WON´T BE YOUR

UNDERTAKER.

>> THERE IS NOT AN UNDERTAKER IN

MIAMI WHO HAS AN OUNCE OF YOUR

ARTISTIC TALENT, DR. TROY. MY

BODY IS YOUR CANVAS. AND I WANT

YOU TO BE THE LAST MAN TO TOUCH

IT.

♫ MAKE ME BEAUTIFUL ♫

♫ MAKE ME A PERFECT SOUL ♫

♫ A PERFECT MIND ♫

♫ A PERFECT FACE ♫

♫ A PERFECT LIFE ♫

>> HEY.

>> I DON´T WANT TO INTERRUPT. I

JUST...NEVER MIND. HAVE A GREAT

WEEKEND.

>> WHAT DID YOU WANT TO SAY?

>> I WAS JUST THINKING HOW FAR

YOU´VE COME. IT´S IMPRESSIVE.

MOTHERHOOD BECOMES YOU, JULIA.

SEE YOU GUYS ON MONDAY.

>> HAVE A LOVELY WEEKEND. ARE

YOU OK? YOU GOT IN SO LATE LAST

NIGHT.

>> I WAS OVER AT THE ANATOMY LAB

PRACTICING VISUAL NERVE

DISSECTIONS. I HAVEN´T DONE ONE

SINCE MED SCHOOL.

[BABY CRIES]

>> YOU´VE BEEN DISSECTING

FINGERS? DO YOU USE BABY BODY

PARTS?

>> MM-HMM.

SEE, THIS IS WHY WE SHOULDN´T

GET INTO IT. I CAN´T DEAL

WITH YOU OVERREACTING TO

FETAL CADAVERS.

>> YOU´RE THE ONE WHO´S

OVERREACTING, SEAN. I MEAN,

REALLY, IF IT WERE ANY OTHER

SURGEON, I WOULD HAVE A CHANCE

TO ASK QUESTIONS. AS IT IS,

EVERYTHING I SAY JUST SEEMS TO

STRESS YOU OUT.

>> I´M JUST FOCUSED. I´M TRYING

TO ANTICIPATE ANY AND EVERY

POSSIBLE COMPLICATION FOR

OUR SON. THAT´S A GOOD THING,

ISN´T IT?

>> YEAH, OF COURSE. AND I´M

PROUD OF YOU. WE´RE VERY LUCKY.

I MEAN, THINK OF ALL THE

FAMILIES WHO DON´T HAVE THE

TALENT OR THE MONEY TO DO WHAT

WE´RE DOING.

>> THERE´S NO MONEY FOR IT,

KATHLEEN. IT´S A VANITY

OPERATION, AND WE CAN´T AFFORD

IT. HE´S JUST GONNA HAVE TO

TOUGHEN UP.

>> WE´VE GOT 5,000 SAVED, TOM.

>> OH, THAT´S BRILLIANT,

KATHLEEN. BRILLIANT. IT´S HIS

COLLEGE FUND. YOU´D RATHER BE

THE PICTURE-PERFECT PRETTY BOY

STOCKING SHELVES AT THE TRUE

VALUE? NO EDUCATION. NO

PROSPECTS. THAT´S WHAT SHE

WANTS. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

THAT´S YOU IN A NUTSHELL. TEACH

HIM TO TAKE THE EASY ROAD, NO

GODDAMN PRIORITIES.

>> THIS ISN´T ABOUT ME. HE´S

BEING TAUNTED AND HUMILIATED,

AND HE IS SUFFERING. I LOVE HIM

TOO MUCH TO STAND BY AND DO

NOTHING.

>> AND I DON´T LOVE MY SON? IS

THAT WHERE YOU´RE TAKING THIS?

>> DID I DO THIS RIGHT, DAD?

>> I DON´T WANT YOU TO THINK

THAT I´M NOT SUPPORTIVE.

>> NO. YOU´RE RIGHT, JULE.

WE´RE ALL INCREDIBLY LUCKY.

AND I PROMISE I´LL SCHEDULE

A SIT-DOWN AT THE OFFICE.

YOU CAN ASK ALL THE QUESTIONS

YOU WANT.

TAKE THE MORNING FOR YOURSELF.

YOU DESERVE IT. I´LL TAKE

THE KIDS OUT FOR PANCAKES.

>> THANK YOU.

>> SIT HERE WITH YOUR BROTHER,

HONEY, WHILE I PUT OUR NAME

DOWN. OK.

>> YOU SHOULD TRY HOLDING UP A

LITTLE FISH AND SEE IF HE´LL

GRAB IT.

>> WHAT?

>> LEAVE HIM ALONE, MORGAN.

>> HE LOOKS LIKE A CRAB, DAD.

HERE, BABY, WANT A SARDINE?

>> PLEASE DON´T MAKE FUN OF MY

SON´S HANDS. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE

IT IF I TEASED YOU ABOUT YOUR

PIG NOSE, HUH? OR THOSE CHUBBY

CHEEKS? HOW WOULD YOU LIKE THAT?

>> MAN, TAKE IT EASY, BUDDY.

HE´S JUST A KID.

>> HE´S MAKING FUN OF A

HANDICAP. MAYBE IF YOU GOT YOUR

NOSE OUT OF THAT NEWSPAPER AND

PAID HIM SOME ATTENTION, HE

WOULDN´T BE SUCH A LITTLE

ASSHOLE.

>> DON´T CALL MY SON

AN ASSHOLE. OR YOUR KIDS ARE

GOING TO SEE THEIR OLD MAN GET

HIS ASS KICKED.

>> DADDY!

>> YOUR SON´S AN ASSHOLE, BUT

NOT HALF AS BIG AN ASSHOLE AS

HIS FATHER.

>> LET´S GO, HONEY, COME ON.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

>> THANKS FOR COMING, DR. TROY.

>> HOW IS SHE?

>> I TOLD YOU, SHE STOPPED

EATING. YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING.

I GAVE HER AN I.V. SHE PULLED

IT OUT OF HER ARM. THAT BITCH

HAS A DEATH WISH. I KNOW THEY

GONNA CLAIM ELDER ABUSE WHEN

SHE FINALLY KICKS IT.

>> WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?

>> 2 PRIORS, HONEY. I GOT CAUGHT

LIFTING A GUCCI HANDBAG AND

SLAPPED A COP WHEN HE TRIED TO

FONDLE MY SEXY BOOTY.

>> NOBODY´S GONNA BLAME YOU FOR

NEGLIGENCE, EVETTA. YOU´RE

PROBABLY THE ONLY REASON SHE´S

STILL ALIVE.

>> JUST DON´T LET HER DIE, OK?

>> SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT

CIRCUMSTANCES FROM WHEN YOU WERE

LAST HERE, DR. TROY, THOUGH IT

DOESN´T HAVE TO BE. HOW ABOUT

SENDING ME OUT OF THIS WORLD

WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE?

>> WHY AREN´T YOU EATING,

MRS. GRUBMAN?

>> I DON´T HAVE TIME TO EAT.

IT´S TOO MUCH WORK TO DO ON THIS

FUNERAL. AND THE SEATING CHART

ALONE IS TALKING ME 4 HOURS.

BLAINE TRUMP IS GONNA NEED A

SHOULDER TO CRY ON. WELL, I´LL

JUST SIT HER RIGHT UP FRONT

NEXT TO YOU.

>> YOU´RE GIVING UP, MRS.

GRUBMAN. THAT ISN´T LIKE YOU.

>> I TOLD YOU, I´VE HAD

A WONDERFUL LIFE WITH ONLY 2

REGRETS. THAT I DIDN´T SLEEP

WITH YOU WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE,

AND THAT I NEVER GOT TO SING AT

THE RAINBOW ROOM.

>> THE RAINBOW ROOM.

DON´T YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO

SING FOR THAT?

>> LISTEN TO MY DEMO ON YOUR WAY

HOME. YOU´LL SEE. I WAS GONNA

BE BURT BACHARACH´S GIRL BEFORE

HE PICKED DIONNE WARWICK. AND

THEN I MET MY MARVIN, AND, AW,

EVERYTHING CHANGED. BUT YOU´LL

HEAR ALL THE STORIES AT THE

FUNERAL.

>> IF YOU DON´T START EATING, I

WON´T BE THERE.

>> YOU HAVE TO. YOU´RE SLATED TO

SPEAK AFTER DOMINICK DUNNE.

>> I WON´T BE A PART OF THIS. IF

YOU WANT TO STARVE YOURSELF TO

DEATH JUST TO BE A BETTER

LOOKING CORPSE, FIND SOMEONE

ELSE TO DO YOUR DIRTY WORK.

>> THESE LAST 2 YEARS HAVE BEEN

SO LONELY. YOU KNOW. OH, I KNOW

IT´S MY OWN FAULT. I PUSHED

EVERYONE AWAY. EVETTA DOES A

GREAT JOB. SHE REALLY TRIES HARD

TO CHEER ME UP. I LIKE HAVING

HER AROUND. SHE FIGHTS BACK.

LIKE YOU. OH, SHIT, MY

MAYBELLINE´S RUNNING. HAND ME A

TISSUE, WOULD YOU?

THANK YOU.

>> I´M SORRY I DIDN´T COME VISIT

YOU MORE OFTEN.

>> OH, PLEASE. YOU SHOULD BE OUT

OUT THERE PLAYING THE FIELD,

DR. TROY. FINDING YOURSELF

THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF

24-YEAR-OLD TROPHY WIVES.

>> TELL YOU WHAT. I´LL MAKE YOU

A DEAL. FOR A SPOONFUL

OF SOUP TODAY, I´LL GIVE YOU

A BOTOX SHOT TOMORROW.

>> WELL, I AM KIND OF HUNGRY.

I LOVE YOU, YOU KNOW.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT? LET HIM SUE

ME. IT´S WORTH IT. SICK ASSHOLE.

JUST SAY IT. YOU THINK I SHOULD

GO BACK TO ANGER MANAGEMENT.

WHAT?

>> WHAT REALLY CONCERNS ME,

SEAN, IS WHAT ALL THIS INTENSITY

IS ABOUT.

>> YOU DIDN´T HEAR HIM BEING

MOCKED IN FRONT OF A DOZEN

STRANGERS, IN FRONT OF ANNIE.

ALL I KNEW IN THAT MOMENT, WAS

THAT PEOPLE LIKE THEM WOULD BE

TORMENTING MY SON FOR THE REST

OF HIS LIFE. I HAD TO DO

SOMETHING.

>> YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING.

YOU´RE DOING HIS SURGERY. FOR

NOW, JUST PROMISE ME YOU´LL TALK

TO THIS MR. THOMPSON. APOLOGIZE

TO HIM SO THAT WE DON´T HAVE TO

DEAL WITH THE HEADACHE OF A

LAWSUIT.

WILL YOU DO THAT?

>> I´M ALSO GOING TO CALL DR.

McGAUBEY AND MOVE UP THE

SURGERY. THERE´S NO REASON TO

WAIT. I´LL BE READY TO GO IN

2 WEEKS.

>> HE´S JUST SO LITTLE.

>> THE SOONER I DO THIS SURGERY,

THE SOONER HE CAN BEGIN

DEVELOPING THE COORDINATION AND

FUNCTION IN HIS HANDS. IT´S ALL

HE´S GOING TO HAVE.

>> WHO ARE YOU DOING THIS FOR,

SEAN, YOU OR CONOR?

>> HOLY COW!

THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE IT´S

OUTTA HERE!

HE´S ROUNDING THIRD.

IT´S A RACE FOR THE PLATE.

IT´S A HOME RUN. HA HA. WHOO!

>> WHEN CAN I SIGN UP FOR LITTLE

LEAGUE, DAD?

>> GEE, THANKS, BUDDY. I COME

OUT HERE AND PLAY BALL WITH YOU,

AND THAT´S WHAT YOU GOT TO SAY?

>> NO. I REALLY LIKE PLAYING

DATES. I JUST WANNA PLAY A REAL

GAME.

>> YOU AND YOUR MOTHER. THE KIDS

WILL LAUGH AT YOU. AND THE COACH

WILL KEEP YOU ON THE BENCH AND

THEN STICK YOU OUT IN RIGHT

FIELD FOR THE LAST INNING. OH,

AND THEY´LL SHOVE YOU IN THE

BACK FOR THE TEAM PHOTO. IS THAT

WHAT YOU WANT?

>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

>> I CALLED YOUR HOUSE. YOUR

WIFE TOLD ME YOU´D BE HERE. YOU

HAVE A MOMENT TO TALK, MR.

THOMPSON? I´M SORRY I HIT YOU.

>> HA HA. I BET YOU ARE. THIS

IS GOING TO COST YOU, McNAMARA.

I GOT 20 WITNESSES THAT´LL SWEAR

TO WHAT THEY SAW.

>> I NEVER SHOULD HAVE ERUPTED

LIKE I DID. I JUST--MY SON IS

ABOUT TO HAVE AN OPERATION ON

HIS HANDS.

>> YOU HUMILIATED ME IN FRONT OF

MY BOY.

>> LOOKS LIKE YOU TWO ARE

WORKING THROUGH IT.

>> YEAH. I HAD TO EXPLAIN TO HIM

THAT WHAT I DID WAS WRONG, AND

WHAT HE DID WAS WRONG, AND WHAT

YOU DID WAS REALLY, REALLY

WRONG. AND I THINK

HE GETS IT NOW.

>> WHAT POSITION DOES HE PLAY?

>> SHORTSTOP. I MEAN, HE´S A

LITTLE SLOWER THAN THE OTHER

KIDS, BUT HE DID TURN A DOUBLE

PLAY LAST NIGHT. IT WON THEM

THE GAME.

>> EVERY KID SHOULD HAVE A

MOMENT LIKE THAT.

WALK-OFF HOME RUN. [INDISTINCT]

THAT´S ALL I WANT FOR CONOR.

HE MAY NEVER GET THAT CHANCE.

BUT ALL I WANT IS FOR HIM

TO BE NORMAL.

LOOK, DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO WITH

THE LAWSUIT. I JUST WANT TO

APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT

I DID AND WHAT I SAID.

>> THESE WEB FINGERS ARE KNOWN

AS SYNDACTYLY. THERE´RE ACTUALLY

2 FINGERS INSIDE HERE. WE DO

A SYNDACTYLY RELEASE ON THE

INDEX AND MIDDLE FINGER AND

ANOTHER ONE BETWEEN THE RING AND

THE PINKY.

>> WHAT KIND OF COMPLICATIONS

COULD ARISE?

>> OH, I´M SO SORRY I´M LATE.

THERE WAS THIS ACCIDENT ON THE

CAUSEWAY.

>> MARLO´S GONNA BE INVOLVED IN

CONOR´S CARE, SO I ASKED HIM

TO JOIN US.

>> I´M SORRY. DON´T MIND ME.

PLEASE CONTINUE.

>> UM, LET ME GET YOU A CHAIR.

>> WELL, THE MAIN COMPLICATION

THAT COULD ARISE IS THAT THE

VESSEL OF THE NERVE COULD BE

DAMAGED IN THE PROCESS.

>> WILL YOU HAVE TO DO A SKIN

GRAFT?

>> THE SHORT ANSWER IS YES,

JULI--

>> INSTEAD OF AN INVASIVE

PROCEDURE, WILL THERE BE A LOT

OF PAIN?

>> HE´LL BE UNDER ANESTHESIA.

>> I WAS TALKING ABOUT HIS

RECOVERY.

>> UM, WE´RE PRETTY GOOD WITH

PAIN MANAGEMENT.

>> WHICH BRINGS US TO THE THUMB

DISTRACTION. WE PLAN TO TURN

THIS SMALL SUGGESTION OF A DIGIT

INTO A REAL THUMB. WE MAKE AN

INCISION IN THE THUMB, DISSECT

THE BONE, AND APPLY DISTRACTION

OSTEOGENESIS DEVICE. IT HAS

LITTLE PINS AND SCREWS THAT GO

INTO THE BONE. WE SEW THE THUMB

BACK UP AND OVER THE NEXT WEEKS,

WE SLOWLY TURN THE SCREWS, AND

THEY BASICALLY STRETCH THE BONE.

>> WHO TURNS THESE SCREWS OVER

THE NEXT FEW WEEKS?

>> YOU DO. WE FIND THAT THE PAIN

LEVEL IS MINIMAL TO NEXT TO

NOTHING WHEN THE PARENTS ARE THE

ONES THAT TURN THEM.

>> HOW DO YOU MEASURE THOSE PAIN

LEVELS IF I MAY ASK?

>> OH, WE DOCTORS, WE´VE GOT

ALL KINDS OF TRICKS UP OUR

SLEEVES.

>> THAT WAS A REASONABLE

QUESTION, CHRISTIAN.

>> WELL, I´M ONLY ASKING,

BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE

RESEARCH I´VE BEEN READING, THE

TRADITIONAL WAYS OF MEASURING

INFANT PAIN, TEARS, AND BRAIN

ACTIVITY, IT´S JUST NOT AS

CONCLUSIVE AS WE WISH IT WAS.

>> ARE YOU AWARE OF THE

EXPERTISE, MASTERING, AND

PROFESSIONAL STATUS THAT´S

GATHERED IN THIS ROOM?

>> WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, JULIA

ASKED ME TO BE HERE TODAY TO

BRING UP SOME OF THESE ISSUES.

IN OTHER WORDS, I´M DOING MY

JOB. I´M SORRY IF THAT KNOCKS

ANYONE´S NOSE OUT OF JOINT.

>> SO, WHAT IS THIS RESEARCH,

MARLO?

>> SOME WELL-RESPECTED

DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE

DONE HYPNOSIS ON A PRETTY LARGE

GROUP OF ADULTS WHO HAD SURGERY

AT AN EARLY AGE. THEY ALL TEND

TO HAVE SIMILAR SYMPTOMS.

NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS,

DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS, DEBILITATING

PHOBIA, AND PANIC ATTACKS.

>> ARE YOU AWARE OF THIS, SEAN?

>> I SCHEDULED THIS MEETING SO

YOU COULD MEET DR. McGAUBEY AND

ASK SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THE

SURGERY. I THINK THE WHOLE NEW

AGE-HEALING MODALITY TYPE OF

CONVERSATION IS BETTER SUITED TO

THE DINNER TABLE.

>> WELL, IN THAT CASE, I´M GONNA

GO HOME AND MAKE DINNER SO THAT

I CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION.

DR. McGAUBEY, CHRISTIAN, FEEL

FREE TO JOIN US.

>> WELL, LOOK AT YOU TWO.

BURBERRY NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD ON

KATE MOSS.

>> OH, YOU LIKE IT? I HAD EVETTA

PICK IT UP FOR ME AT NEIMAN´S.

>> AND SHE´S LUCKY I MADE HER

WEAR A BIB AT BREAKFAST.

OTHERWISE, IT´D BEEN COVERED

IN STRAWBERRY CREPE SHIT.

>> I ALSO WORE A HUGE HAT SO

NO ONE WOULD RECOGNIZE ME, BUT

YOU WERE RIGHT, DR. TROY. NOT

EATING WAS A SILLY THING TO DO.

OH, WE HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL

BRUNCH THIS MORNING AT

RESTAURANT SAN MICHELLE.

>> EATING OUT IN PUBLIC. THAT´S

FANTASTIC.

>> BABY, IT WAS LIKE OPENING THE

GATES TO HELL. ANYTHING ON THE

MENU WITH CHEESE, BEEF, OR CREAM

IN IT, FATTY BELTBUCKLES HAD TO

HAVE 2.

>> WELL, LOOK WHO´S TALKING. I

NEVER SAW ANYONE ORDER LOBSTER

AND A CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE FOR

BREAKFAST BEFORE.

>> WELL, I FIGURED IF THE OLD

GOAT´S GOING TO BE SPENDING MY

INHERITANCE, I´M GONNA ENJOY IT.

THOUGH MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE

STOPPED WITH THE MILKSHAKE.

>> MM-HMM.

>> WE CAN GET YOU SOME

LIPOSUCTION, EVETTA, IF YOU´RE

WORRIED ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT.

>> I WAS TALKING ABOUT MY

HEARTBURN, DUMMY. I DON´T NEED

NO HOOVER VACUUM STEALING MY

ASS. WHERE I COME FROM, I DON´T

GET LIPO TO ATTRACT A MAN. I EAT

ANOTHER CHERRY PIE AND PUT MORE

JUNK IN MY TRUNK.

KNOW WHAT I´M SAYING?

>> I´M SORRY. I DIDN´T MEAN TO

OFFEND YOU.

>> DRUM UP YOUR WORK WITH SOME

PITIFUL, SELF-HATING CREATURE,

DR. TROY. NOT ME, OK? I LOVE

MYSELF, EVERY POUND OF IT.

>> GO READ A MAGAZINE IN THE

LOBBY, EVETTA. I HEAR THE NEW

ISSUE OF ESSENCE IS HERE.

>> YEAH, I´LL GO READ MY

ESSENCE. I WAS TIRED OF TALKING

TO THE TWO OF YOU, ANYWAY. AND

STOP SHUTTING ME UP. ALWAYS

TRYING TO GET SUCKED AND TUCKED,

THAT´S WHAT´S WRONG WITH YOUR

CRAZY ASS NOW.

>> I SHOULD GO TALK TO HER.

>> NO. SHE´LL BE ALL RIGHT.

SHE´S A SPITFIRE, THOUGH, HUH?

OH, BREAKFAST WAS FUN. AND THANK

GOD NO ONE RECOGNIZED ME.

>> WELL, AFTER A FEW SHOTS OF

BOTOX, THE OLD MRS. GRUBMAN WILL

REAPPEAR.

>> A SHOT OF BOTOX IS THE ELIXIR

OF LIFE, DR. TROY.

>> IT´S GETTING OUT IN PUBLIC

AND SEEING PEOPLE AGAIN THAT

MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD, MRS.

GRUBMAN. AHEM.

OH, MRS. GRUBMAN.

>> JULIA.

>> LISTEN TO THIS. "I SAW THESE

MASKED GIANTS HOVERING OVER ME.

THE COLD, HARSH LIGHT WAS IN MY

EYES. SOMEONE CAME TOWARD ME

WITH A BLACK MASK THAT HAD THIS

SMELL, AND IT MADE ME SICK. WHEN

I WOKE UP, I STARTED TO VOMIT. A

STRANGER SHOVED A HUGE TEDDY

BEAR AT ME. THE EYES WERE

TERRIFYING." THIS MEMORY IS FROM

WHEN HE WAS 7 MONTHS OLD. IT´S

THE BOOK YOU GAVE ME.

>> JULIA, I´M SORRY. I SHOULD

HAVE THOUGHT MORE CAREFULLY

ABOUT WHAT I WAS DOING.

>> BUT I´M SO GRATEFUL TO YOU.

YOU KNOW, I KNEW THESE THINGS

INSTINCTIVELY, I JUST HADN´T

ARTICULATED IT. A BABY RESPONDS

TO SURGERY AS IF HE´S DYING

BECAUSE HE HAS NO UNDERSTANDING

OF WHAT´S HAPPENING TO HIM.

>> JULIA, LISTEN TO ME.

>> WE HAVE TO CONVINCE SEAN TO

POSTPONE THIS SURGERY. YOU KNOW,

AT LEAST UNTIL CONOR IS OLDER,

YOU KNOW. SO WE CAN PREPARE HIM

FOR IT. I´M NOT GONNA SIGN THE

SURGERY CONSENT FORM.

>> OK. BUT BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY

DECISIONS, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT

I´VE DECIDED. I´M LEAVING.

>> YOU´RE...

YOU´RE WHAT?

>> I DON´T--I DON´T KNOW HOW

IT ENDED UP LIKE THIS, BUT IT´S

CLEAR THAT I´VE BECOME A

DISRUPTIVE INFLUENCE IN THIS

HOUSEHOLD. AND THAT´S NOT GOOD

FOR ANYONE, ESPECIALLY NOT

CONOR.

>> [EXHALES]

DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN A SURGEON AND GOD? GOD

DOESN´T THINK HE´S A SURGEON.

NOW, I NEED YOU TO STAY TO HELP

ME THROUGH THIS.

YOU´RE MY ROCK. I CAN´T GO

THROUGH THIS ALONE.

>> SEE, YOU UNDERESTIMATE HOW

POWERFUL YOU ARE, JULIA. AND

THESE BOOKS, THEY HAVE CONCRETE

SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO HELP

CONOR THROUGH THIS. IT WON´T BE

THE END OF THE WORLD.

>> I CAN´T. I JUST...

THE THOUGHT OF WAKING UP

TOMORROW AND NOT SEEING YOU.

>> YOU´LL GET THROUGH THIS.

YOU´RE A REALLY GOOD MOTHER.

THAT´S WHY I HAVE TO LEAVE.

>> THOUGHT I´D GIVE YOU A HAND

TODAY.

SHE´S DEAD, CHRISTIAN.

SHE´S NOT GOING TO CATCH

ANYTHING.

>> IT´S HER LAST TIME IN SADDLE,

SEAN. MIGHT AS WELL GIVE HER THE

FULL TREATMENT.

>> OK.

LINDA TOLD ME YOU´RE DOING

THE EULOGY AT HER FUNERAL.

>> YEAH. BUT I´M STRUGGLING WITH

WHAT I´M GONNA SAY. ALL MIAMI

IS GONNA BE THERE. SHE SENT OUT

ENGRAVED INVITATIONS. ALL I CAN

THINK OF IS HERE LIES A WOMAN

WHO WAS SO BUSY LOOKING IN THE

MIRROR AND FEELING LIKE SHE

WASN´T GOOD ENOUGH THAT...SHE

MISSED HER LIFE. SHE COULD HAVE

HAD A SINGING CAREER, DID YOU

KNOW THAT?

>> I DIDN´T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HER

BESIDES HER DESPERATE,

OVERBEARING PERSONALITY.

>> AH, SHE WASN´T SUCH A BAD

EGG. BUT I´D CERTAINLY FEEL MORE

COMFORTABLE IF I COULD STAND UP

THERE KNOWING MY CONTRIBUTION

TO HER LIFE WAS A LITTLE MORE

POSITIVE.

I FEEL LIKE HER DRUG DEALER.

>> YOU CAN´T THINK LIKE THAT.

>> I SEEM TO RECALL A DIATRIBE

BY YOU ONLY A FEW MONTHS AGO,

ABOUT HOW WE WERE CONTRIBUTING

TO A SOCIETY THAT WAS OBSESSED

WITH PHYSICAL PERFECTION.

>> AT THE MOMENT, I´M GRATEFUL

FOR EVERY SINGLE SURGERY THAT´S

GIVEN ME THE SKILL TO MAKE MY

SON WHOLE.

>> WHAT IF YOU COULDN´T FIX

CONOR? WHAT IF YOU COULDN´T

MAKE HIM AS CLOSE TO PERFECT AS

POSSIBLE? HOW WOULD THAT MAKE

YOU FEEL?

>> HAVE YOU BEEN TALKING TO MY

WIFE? ALL I´M GETTING FROM THE

PEOPLE AROUND ME LATELY IS

THIS TOUCHY, FEELY, NEGATIVE

PSYCHO-BABBLE.

>> WHOA, KILLER. IT´S NOT ME

YOU´RE MAD AT. MAYBE YOU SHOULD

TAKE THE AFTERNOON OFF. GO

HOME. MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR WIFE.

BESIDES, I COULD USE THE ALONE

TIME WITH GRUBMAN TO WORK OUT MY

EULOGY.

[RAP MUSIC IN BACKGROUND]

>> WOULD YOU MIND CHANGING THE

MUSIC, LINDA? GANGSTA RAP JUST

DOESN´T SEEM LIKE THE RIGHT

CHOICE FOR MRS. GRUBMAN.

I BROUGHT SOMETHING. IT´S OVER

THERE.

[LOUNGE MUSIC PLAYING]

>> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

MRS. GRUBMAN.

>> ♫ YOU SEE THIS GIRL,

THIS GIRL´S IN LOVE WITH YOU,

YES, I´M IN LOVE,

WHO LOOKS AT YOU THE WAY I DO?

WHEN YOU SMILE, I CAN TELL

WE KNOW EACH OTHER VERY WELL,

HOW CAN I SHOW YOU?

I´M GLAD I GOT TO KNOW YOU

´CAUSE, I´VE HEARD SOME TALK,

THEY SAY YOU THINK I´M FINE,

THIS GIRL´S IN LOVE,

AND WHAT I´D DO TO MAKE YOU

MINE, TELL ME NOW, IS IT SO?

DON´T LET ME BE THE LAST TO

KNOW, MY HANDS ARE SHAKING,

DON´T LET MY HEART KEEP

BREAKING ´CAUSE,

I NEED YOUR LOVE,

I WANT YOUR LOVE,

SAY YOU´RE IN LOVE

AND YOU´LL BE MY GUY,

IF NOT, I´LL JUST DIE ♫

THANKS, BURT.

[RAIN AND THUNDER]

>> DON´T FORGET YOUR GLOVE,

SEAN.

GO ON. IT´S AFTER 4:00.

YOU´RE GONNA MISS IT.

>> WHY DO THEY HAVE TO LAUGH AT

ME?

>> THEY´RE FOOLS IF THEY LAUGH.

AND WHO CARES WHAT FOOLS THINK?

>> DAD´S GONNA BE MAD.

>> I´LL HANDLE DAD, HONEY.

GO ON.

>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING HOME

SO EARLY?

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

>> I´M FINE. WE NEED TO TALK.

>> YES, SEAN, WE DO. I´M NOT

READY TO SIGN THE CONSENT FORM.

>> I KNOW.

I KNOW I´VE BEEN KIND OF A MAD

MAN LATELY. I´VE BEEN

SO OBSESSED WITH MAKING THINGS

PERFECT FOR CONOR´S SURGERY.

AND I SEE HOW COUNTERPRODUCTIVE

THAT´S BEEN AND UNFAIR TO YOU.

THERE ARE THINGS THAT, UH...

THAT I´VE NEVER TOLD YOU.

>> ABOUT THE SURGERY?

>> NO. ABOUT ME.

>> WHAT´S HE DOING HERE?

>> AM I TOO LATE?

>> NO. NO, YOUR TIMING IS

PERFECT. DID YOU BRING A SIGNED

CONSENT FORM, ONE OF THESE?

>> GREAT. OK, NEXT. ALL RIGHT,

LOOK RIGHT AT THE LENS, STAY ON.

I´LL GIVE YOU A COUNT.

GIVE ME A GOOD HOME RUN.

BOOM, KAPOW! RIGHT?

HOME RUN LOOK...ONE, 2. ALL

RIGHT, LET´S GET THE NEXT ONE.

>> ALL RIGHT, YOU WANT TO

LOWER YOUR ARM A LITTLE BIT?

LET ME SEE SOME MORE FACE,

HOW ABOUT IT?

>> WHEN DID YOU HAVE THE

SURGERY? WHO PAID FOR IT?

>> I WAS 8. MY MOTHER USED THE

COLLEGE MONEY. WE DID IT BEHIND

MY DAD´S BACK. LUCKILY FOR

EVERYONE, I WAS A GOOD STUDENT

AND QUALIFIED FOR FINANCIAL

AID, BUT HE NEVER FORGAVE HER.

HE LEFT A FEW MONTHS LATER.

>> THAT´S WHY HE LEFT YOU GUYS.

IT ALWAYS SEEMED SUCH A MYSTERY

TO ME.

>> I THINK HE FELT LIKE HE LOST

CONTROL OF THE FAMILY. I GUESS

WE, UH, PUSHED HIM OUT. MY MOM

WORKED 2 JOBS TO SUPPORT US.

>> I JUST, UH, DON´T UNDERSTAND

WHY YOU DIDN´T TELL ME.

>> BECAUSE I PUT THAT PATHETIC

KID BEHIND ME.

>> OH, NO, YOU DIDN´T. THAT KID

IS WHY YOU´RE A PLASTIC SURGEON.

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT A

SECRET?

>> I COULDN´T LET YOU SEE ME AS

THAT PATHETIC, UGLY KID.

I WAS AFRAID THAT´S ALL YOU´D

EVER SEE.

>> IN SO MANY WAYS,

THAT LITTLE KID...THAT´S WHO I

FELL IN LOVE WITH.

>> ONLY BECAUSE YOU NEVER SAW

HIM.

>> WHERE IS EVERYONE, EVETTA?

>> I GUESS THEY HAD BETTER

THINGS TO DO.

>> DIDN´T YOU SEND ALL THE

INVITATIONS FOR HER?

>> EVERY SINGLE ONE. MAYBE HER

ADDRESS BOOK WAS OUT OF DATE OR

SOMETHING.

>> HER DAUGHTER CLAIRE, SHE

COULDN´T FIND THE TIME TO COME

TO HER MOTHER´S FUNERAL?

>> CLAIRE CALLED THE HOUSE, SAID

THAT HER MOTHER DIED FOR HER

ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO WHEN SHE

STOPPED SEEING HER AFTER SHE HAD

THE STROKE. SAID THAT WHEN SHE

CHOSE VANITY OVER FAMILY, IT WAS

TOO MUCH FOR HER TO HANDLE.

DID YOU HEAR WHAT SHE PUT ON HER

HEADSTONE? "I CAME, I SAW, I

CONQUERED." OH, GRUBBY, WE DID

HAVE SOME FUN TIMES TOGETHER.

TOO BAD YOU SCREWED ME IN YOUR

WILL. YEAH. ALL I GOT WAS A FEW

OLD-LADY MUU-MUUS. I GUESS SHE

THOUGHT I MEANT IT WHEN I TOLD

HER I LIKED THEM. EITHER THAT,

OR HER LAST JOKE´S ON ME.

WHICH I GUESS IT IS ANYWAY.

OK. WELL, I GOTTA GO FIND A NEW

JOB. I´LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK,

DR. TROY.

>> NEXT WEEK. WHAT´S NEXT WEEK?

>> OH, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT

McNAMARA-TROY. SINCE SHE LEFT

YOU EVERYTHING, I AT LEAST WANT

TO GET SOME FREE LIPO OUT OF IT.

>> SHE LEFT ME ALL HER MONEY?

>> YOU DIDN´T HEAR? IT´S IN HER

WILL. SHE PUT IT ALL IN THE

HEDDA GRUBMAN PLASTIC SURGERY

FUND FOR PEOPLE THAT NEED A

LITTLE WORK, BUT DON´T WANT TO

PAY FOR IT.

>> I´M HERE TO PAY RESPECTS TO

HEDDA GRUBMAN. HER LIFE WAS LIKE

THAT OF ANY OTHER, FILLED WITH

ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT SHOULD BE

EXALTED AND REGRETS THAT SHOULD

BE LEARNED FROM. HER WIT AND

CANDOR...

THIS IS BULLSHIT.

TRUTH IS, MRS. GRUBMAN, YOU WERE

A HUGE PAIN IN THE ASS. PRETTY

MUCH EVERYBODY HATED YOU.

IT´S NO WONDER THEY BOYCOTTED

YOUR FUNERAL.

YOU´RE OBSESSED WITH YOUR LOOKS

AND PLASTIC SURGERY. AND IN THE

END, IT COST YOU EVERY

RELATIONSHIP YOU EVER HAD.

BUT I KNOW SOMEWHERE INSIDE,

YOU MEANT WELL.

AND YOU WERE FUNNY AND HONEST,

AND YOU STUCK UP FOR YOURSELF.

AND I LOVED THE FACT THAT YOU

NEVER LET ME OFF THE HOOK.

LIFE WAS MORE INTERESTING

WITH YOU IN IT. AND...

AND I´M GONNA MISS YOU.

AND I LOVE YOU, TOO.

GOODBYE, MRS. GRUBMAN.
