Geiger to Shutt : "Who thinks you look like
George Clooney, your mother?"
Geiger to Kronk regarding Shutt : "Does he look like George
Clooney?"
Kronk : "I don't know who that is."
Watters explaining why he is calling Jeffrey to do the heart
transplant: "He said he'd come in a pinch, this is a pinch. I'm
calling him."
Camille: "Yuck!"
Jefferey Geiger via Tommy Wilmette
Opens in Kate's office......
Jeffrey Geiger: (on phone) I'm gettin everything ready.
I'm on my way. Tell Kronk, he'll be assisting. Yeah. I want Camille
for the harvest.
Tommy Wilmette: Isn't this Kate's office?
Jeffrey Geiger: (on phone still) I don't care if she's
a floor nurse. (Walking out of the office in waiting corridor are)
She loaned it to me. Don't tell her. Excuse me.
Tommy Wilmette: Dr. Geiger. Dr. Geiger. A moment please. Is it
true she's obsessed with becoming Chief of Staff?
Jeffrey Geiger: If you're looking for me to say something
negative that you can utilize in your custody battle, let me happily
offer this. From what I've seen, she's not only a great doctor. But
also an exemplary role model for any child. I'm sure you've scored
big fudge stripes taking Sara for weekend pony rides, cotton candy
lunches. But...Kate's been a mother to her every day. Maybe you
should leave it like that.
Tommy Wilmette: Of course you'd be right since you're never
wrong.
Jeffrey Geiger: No, I was wrong once, very briefly, for the
few seconds that I thought I liked you.
Tommy Wilmette: Such wit. Must be joyous to hear your self
talk. I bet you can outgab all those other little voices you hear in
your dysfunctional head. What do all those voices say, "Go away," "We
don't like you," "You're a pompous, egotistical, self-serving carcase
of arrogance"? If so, fear not, you're not crazy. Those are real
voices coming from every body who has ever met you. I'd about given
up on ever being able to agree with Kate on anything, but on you,
encouraged, she has got you pegged. You think if you flap your little
self-storm, nobody will notice that? Well you don't say much
quality-wise, but
quantity, you are spitting flatulence. (here we also missed
something) Wouldn't it be nice if I could follow you around on a
daily basis and learn through osmosis. I'm sure I'm could learn soo
much from your ooze. Although it does redundent. See, I'm getting a
little bored now. Actually, listening to you, I'm finding you less
interesting as we speak. Maybe I should take out the stop watch like
everybody else and see how long it takes from lift-off to
melt-down.
(Pushes Geiger away who is flicking finger in front of his
lips)
Jeffrey Geiger: Is this the part where I go, "He's a
genius, he'll want me to surrender." Let me tell you Mr. Wilmette,
Kate told me you were fabulous, but I'm extremely disappointed. It's
not that I have expectations. I had none. Until you failed as a
father. Keep talking Tommy, you bound to say something profound. By
chance every man spits out a gem now and then. Though I'm sure yours
are couched in flatulence. Why's your face getting red? You feel
somebody beating you in an argument? Somebody's outyapping Tommy
Wilmette? I'm shocked. How could that happen with you having two
sides of your mouth to talk out of? I'm sitting here trying to figure
out how a guy with a 30 million dollar bank account can still be
alone in a material world such as ours, where wealth is considered
some kind of measure of a person's value. You must have some pretty
negative characteristics to have such a bank account, huh? Man, let
me see if i can imagine some of them....Vanity, lack of conscience,
dishonesty, untrustworthy. (here we missed somthing)Yeah! Yap,
Yap, Yap (Jeffrey's thriumph)
(flicking finger in front of Tommy Wilmette's lips, Tommy pushes
him away from him).
Jeffrey Geiger: I win. I'd go two out of three, but I got
surgery.
While leaving he seas Diane and Dennis in the corridor who are
looking amused and astonished. Jeffrey gives Diane a little hug and
passes by - leaving a speechlees Tommy back in the corridor.
