I just didn't think you had it in you.

Uh, 15 hundred. Couple thousand maybe.

Wow.

Project X - Concerns About Teen Independence
Mom:
I'm just worried.
Dad:
About what?
Mom:
I don't know. Thomas, leaving him alone all weekend.
Dad:
Oh please. Come on honey, he's 17 years old.
Mom:
That's what I'm worried about.
Dad:
Let's be realistic here. This is Thomas we're talking about. He's not exactly Mr. Popular.
Mom:
What is that supposed to mean?
Dad:
I'm just saying that he's not that type of kid, you know. He's got a couple friends, they're gonna hang out, but they're not gonna do anything. He's a sweet kid, but he's a loser.

Lorenzo's Oil - Lorenzo's Presentation to Medical Faculty
Immunosuppression Doctor:
The faculty is very grateful to Lorenzo for doing this.
Immunosuppression Doctor:
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Lorenzo Odone; whom I've spoken to you about. Now; young Mr. Odone, you need to come with me. You're getting so big! I'm gonna put you up here so we can all see you, okay? Attaboy. Ten weeks after diagnosis, we observe hemianopia. The pupillary light reflexes are still intact and, as yet, there is no optic atrophy. However, there is evidence of early occipital lobe involvement.
Lorenzo Odone:
Why are all these people here?
Immunosuppression Doctor:
I beg your pardon, Lorenzo?
Lorenzo Odone:
Why are all these people here?
Doctor:
He asks why all these people are here.
Immunosuppression Doctor:
Well, they're all doctors and they want to learn how to help other boys in the future.
Lorenzo Odone:
Other boys with the boo-boo?
Michaela Odone:
Yes, Darling.
Lorenzo Odone:
Mm-hm.
Immunosuppression Doctor:
Thank you, Lorenzo. Now in the scanning speech, we look for both ends of the pathology: centrally for the dysphasia and peripherally for the dysarthria. Now, Lorenzo, would you walk for me please? Attaboy. That's right, hold my hands. That's right. Two months ago, there was simply motor lag. Now, note the characteristic gait, it's due mostly to hyperreflexia but exacerbated by the encroaching paresis. You're doing very well, Lorenzo! Keep coming!
Lorenzo Odone:
Only if you stop talking like that.

Lorenzo's Oil - Medical Check-Up and Parental Discussion
Immunosuppression Doctor:
What color's that cross?
Lorenzo Odone:
Red.
Immunosuppression Doctor:
That's right. It's red. I'm gonna speak to your parents but Leah's gonna stay and check your blood pressure, okay? I'll be right back.
Leah:
I'll just put this around your arm.
Immunosuppression Doctor:
Look, it's important you both know what's going on. Cyclophosphamides are no picnic. This is all-out chemotherapy. We're gonna be suppressing his immune system. It's very high-risk We're gonna need to keep him here at least three weeks.
Leah:
That's it.
Immunosuppression Doctor:
Lorenzo's still walking, he's still talking, he's still communicating. But that can all change, now, knowing all of this, do you still want us to go through with this?
Michaela Odone:
Given the alternatives, yes.
