    Ellen: You're not reassuring me doctor.

    Dr. William Beckham: I can't reassure you. This idea you have, that there's a way to be safe, it's childish and cowardly. It stops you from experiencing anything, including anything good.

    Ellen: That's your pearl of wisdom? Grow a pair?

    Dr. William Beckham: That's a more concise way of putting it. Yeah.

    Ellen: Unbelievable. Fuck you!
