:32:01
You have to get
under the fingernails...

:32:03
of any authority figure
that crosses your path...

:32:06
as a way of dealing
with some insecurity.

:32:08
Antisocial personality, I believe.
Intriguing diagnosis.

:32:10
Truman, this isn't funny. Smart people
flunk out of here all the time.

:32:13
Yeah, uh, odds are one of
the five of us sitting here, actually.

:32:18
I have another question.
:32:20
In a perfect system...
:32:22
why are patients referred to
by their disease...

:32:24
as in "that interesting
cancer patient,"
and not by their name?

:32:27
- It certainly isn't to be mean.
It's to prevent transference.
- And why is that bad?

:32:30
- And the one flunking out is?
- Can we get back to the tongue?

:32:33
What if a doctor becomes
emotionally involved with a patient?

:32:36
Does a doctor explode?
No.

:32:38
Who came up
with these rules?

:32:40
It's against the Hippocratic oath,
I think.

:32:42
I don't really have time for this.
Sorry.

:32:46
Bye.
:32:48
- Bye.
- Sorry.

:32:50
- Charming.
- Bye.

:32:52
- Truman?
- Yeah.

:32:54
- I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to stop you from studying.
- Go away!

:32:58
I believe there's more to being
a doctor than memorizing facts
about the ventricular artery.

:33:01
I don't care what you think.
I care about my biology test.

:33:04
- Maybe I could help you.
I read the bio book.
- The whole book?

:33:07
Oh, yeah.
Now I'm on to Whitman.

:33:09
You can get Leaves of Grass
at the bookstore if you have
a 20% student l.D. card.

:33:12
- I don't want Walt Whitman.
- He wouldn't want you either.
He was a homosexual.

:33:15
But that's not relevant. What's relevant
is that he was a medical man.

:33:18
He was a nurse in the Civil War
and wrote great poetry.

:33:21
"Afoot and lighthearted,
I take to the open road..."

:33:23
Look, I'm not sure
if you've noticed this...

:33:26
but in a class of 163 students
there are eight women... eight.

:33:31
I've had to work really hard
to get here, and I'm gonna have
to work even harder to stay...

:33:35
and I'm not about to blow it
by wasting my time on your
flighty theories of goodness.

:33:38
I'm here to learn about medicine.
Period.

:33:42
Excuse me.
:33:45
I think somebody is
running away from something.

:33:48
Why can't it just be that
I'm running away from you?
