Episode Notes -  |
In Germany this episode was called: "McNamara / Troy".
The 66-minute pilot runs 90 minutes compared to the usual one hour (44-minute) episodes.
Roma and Julian co-starred together on the show Profiler.
Joely Richardson's character, Claire McNamara, was changed to Julia McNamara.
Julian's character was originally named Christian Vega but was changed to Christian Troy.
Quotes:
Sean: I'm a surgeon. If I get emotional, patients die.
Julia: I'm not one of your patients Sean! I'm your wife!
(Julia throws a plate at Sean which hits the wall and breaks)
Sean: What the hell is it with people in this house throwing things at my head?
Julia: Finally, some passion! Congratulations! You're not bloodless after all!
Sean: For 10 years, I've been consumed with transforming other people! Starting today, I'm transforming myself!
Christian: (Leaving a grocery store after buying a lot of hams) Would you like to tell me why we just bought 12 goddamned hams?
Sean: Because alligators are finicky eaters.
(Matt suggests going into surgery to circumcise his penis)
Christian: Like it or not, we have to talk to your dad about this. You're under 18, he has to sign a consent form.
Matt: Yeah, he'll never go for it, he's such an asshole.
Christian: Hey, don't call your father that, you don't know how lucky you've got it. Besides, robots can't be assholes.
Sean: (to Matt) Tell me what you like about yourself.
Julia: (to Sean during an argument) This marriage doesn't even have a pulse anymore!
Christian: When you stop striving for perfection you might as well be dead.
Christian: What is it that we’re doing, Sean, other than make people feel good about themselves?
Sean: What we do is let people externalize the hatred they feel about themselves. Which is why I want to hire a full time psychologist to screen people better.
Christian: Oh great. And lets do yoga in the lobby, too.
Sean: Check out this bombshell. We’re getting ready this morning, and Julia tells me she wants her breasts done.
Christian: If you’re thinking conflict of interest, I’d like to volunteer my services.
Sean: Still have a crush on the misses, do we?
Christian: Let the records show that I dated her first and passed off my sloppy seconds to you.
Christian: Tell me what you don't like about yourself
Liz: Ass implants. What will they think of next?
Sean: (re: butt implant)This implant. You put it in upside down
Christian: You save my ass again.
Sean: You're shaving too deep
Christian: It's fine
Sean: Do you want it fine, or do you want it perfect?
Sean: We have mice.
Julia: That's not a mouse, Sean. That's Frisky the gerbil. It escaped from its cage.
Sean: Did you try and catch it?
Julia: I would've, but I was too busy cleaning up the trail of shit it left everywhere.
Liz: (to Kimber about Christian) If it's any consolation to you, honey, you're not the first girl he's done this to. But at least you got a good set of tits out of it so heal in more way than one and just go on with your life.
Christian: Can I buy you a drink?
Kimber: I don't drink. (takes a sip of her drink)
Christian: May I buy you an appetizer?
Kimber: I don't eat, I'm a model.
Trivia:
First appearance of Kimber Henry who would later in Season 3 become cast regular. Mrs. Grubman and Escobar Gallardo also make their first appearances, recurring later on for more episodes this season.
Christian's boat is named "The Boatox", a play on spelling. Botox is an anti-wrinkle drug. |
