My Moment of Un-Truth (2004)

Alexander Chaplin: Mr. Thompson

Quotes 

• Dr. Elliot Reid : Mr. Thompson, I have decided I'd like to prescribe you something for the pain.

  Mr. Thompson : Well, you know, that's your call.

  Dr. Elliot Reid : [She begins to write out the prescription, then stops]  There's just... one little problem.

  Mr. Thompson : [flipping out]  Oh, my God! Just give me the drugs! 'Kay, lady? For God's sake, I've been working you from every possible angle: I refused pain killers; I did the "you're the greatest doctor!" bit, which I know you loved; then somewhere between, uh, getting a tube in my ass and a tube in my mouth - which, by the way, I'm still praying wasn't the same tube - I found time to do the whole "I'm writhing in pain but I don't know if you're watching me" thing! So please, or pretty please, or however you want me to say it, Doctor, why don't you say it! Why don't you say it! Why don't you tell me what the problem is, AND SAY IT!

  Dr. Elliot Reid : Um... I was just gonna say that my pen doesn't work, and I needed a new one to write out your dosage.

  Mr. Thompson : Oh.

  [pause] 

  Mr. Thompson : Awesome.

  [There's a whistle from outside, and Elliot turns to look out the observation window at Dr. Cox doing a peppy little "I told you so" jig]
