Our lawyer drew up a 6 month contract.
Without consulting me ?
You haven't been available, professionally or personally.
We are not taking on another partner.
End of argument.
You wanna prove to me that we don't need another partner...
that you're back in the game ?
Then glove up.
And the one under that, please.
A resuscitation form.
In the event you stop breathing during the surgery,
you could require artificial breathing assistance.
You check "yes" if you want that assistance.
That's all of it.
We're gonna give you a few injections of a local anesthetic
to numb the areas of your skin we need to work on.
You shouldn't feel any pain once the drugs kick in.
Why can't you just put me to sleep ?
Because of your position and sepsis, we can't put you to sleep, Momma.
We can't insert a breathing tube in this position.
Haven't I gotten you this far ?
Then relax.
We are gonna take very good care of you.
All right, but be quick.
I don't like needles.
You ready ?
That's all we can expose her to for now.
Well, we've got at least 20 to go.
An O.D. Of xylocaine can cause a fatal heart arrhythmia.
In her condition, we're pushin' our luck with half of what we've already injected.
We're just gonna have to work on her in pieces, then.
Why don't you step... step.
- That's... that's my wife.
- I understand that...
How long till the anesthesia kicks in ?
Enough for half a smoke.
- You can't do this to me.
- Step away from the window here, all right ?
- She's my wife, goddamn it, all right ?
- All right, all right, all right.
I'm Dr. Mcnamara.
I'll be performing her surgery.
I'm Denny Boone.
I just wanna see her before you put her under.
Give us a minute ?
Mr. Boone, I can't let you see your wife right now.
We've gotta keep her as calm as possible until we've finished the procedure.
Anything that causes a spike in her blood pressure could kill her.
You are telling me that I can't see my own wife
before she undergoes life-threatening surgery ?
I'm telling you that your presence might be more dangerous to her than the surgery itself.
Bullshit. I got conjugal rights.
Did those rights extend to keeping her chained to that couch and feeding her like a veal calf ?
You might as well have been pouring gasoline down her throat.
I just gave her what she asked me.
Oh, bullshit. Keeping her in that house let you control her.
If you had loved her at all, you would've gotten her help.
Don't you dare challenge my love for that woman.
She may not look like much to you and your south beach kind, doctor,
but to me she is uma in kill bill.
Now, screw you.
I'm goin' in there.
Don't you hurt me, man.
They should bring you up on charges of criminal negligence.
The only thing you can charge me with is lovin' Momma too much.
And you show it by enabling her sickness ?
You think I didn't want her to lose weight ?
You try gettin' somebody to do something that they don't wanna do.
It's like serving them a sandwich made of shit.
They may eat it, but they ain't gonna like you or it afterwards.
What happened to all your good china ?
Uh, they're at home...
uh, I mean, at sean's. Uh...
- there's no room for them here.
- Exactly.
And unless you get a decent settlement, you'll never be able to afford a decent house so you can live with...
China mugs ?
Your china mugs, yes.
Mother, you really didn't need to make the trip down here to support me.
I'm a big girl now.
I didn't come down here to hold your hand.
I came to force it. Here.
What are these ?
Worksheets.
I stopped off at Coral's before I came.
God. Coral Langston Stein ?
She's a barracuda.
I know.
She makes jaws look like a goldfish,
but she's the best divorce lawyer in Manhattan.
I gave her some of the preliminaries.
Sean didn't assault me.
He threw you against the refrigerator and put his hands around your throat.
Or was he measuring you for a necklace ?
I'd just told him that Matt wasn't his. He reacted.
He certainly did.
