Kristen: Okay, you're about five minutes late.

 

Focker: Yeah, I know.

 

Kristen: A gðica Denslow from the administrative¹ board called. She wants to get a list of the budget cuts. You have a meeting in 20 minutes with John Raider and some drug rep from Pfosten Pharmaceuticals² is waiting in your office. Andi something.

 

Focker: There's a drug rep in there? Okay, look, in three minutes, pop your head in and tell me I have to go to my next meeting. Okay. All right? Sorry, I got to make this really quick. I got a very busy morning.

 

Andi: I understand, Nurse Focker. I'm Andi Garcia.

 

Focker: Oh, hi. You have a lot less stubble in person. I'm... There's an actor named Andy Garcia.

 

Andi: Who?

 

Focker: Widow's peak. Sort of tough guy. 

 

Andi: I was just kidding. Of course, I know who Andy Garcia is. I get that all the time.

 

Focker: Yeah. You must get it all the time 'cause you're named Andi Garcia.

 

Andi: I loved the article you wrote in the AMA Journal, "Putting Patients First."

 

Focker: You read that?

 

Andi: I loved it. It was so cool getting a nurse's perspective on the health care crisis.

 

Focker: Yeah, that was the idea.

 

Andi: I actually started out as a nurse, myself.

 

Focker: Really? Oh, well, nowadays, I do less nursing and more...

 

Andi: Annoying meetings with drug reps you'd rather not deal with?

 

Kristen: Hey, Greg, it's time for your next meeting.

 

Focker: That's okay, I'm fine, Kristen. Thank you.

 

Kristen: Yeah, but he doesn't like to wait. You know how he is, you know.

 

Focker: Well, it's John Raider?

 

Kristen: Yeah, he's really picky...

 

Focker: He always runs late. Always runs late. Thanks.

 

Andi: You're swamped.

 

Focker: No, I'm good. You want to have a seat?

 

Andi: Yeah. Okay. I'll make this quick. So we are launching a killer³ new product at Pfosten and, while we usually hire doctors to lead our presentations, I have a feeling about you. I think you have the potential to be a medical superstar. And you'd be perfect to represent our new drug, Sustengo.

 

Focker: Ah. Sustengo. All right. It's an erectile dysfunction medicine.

 

Andi: It's not just any erectile dysfunction medicine. It's the first ED pill on the market safe for heart patients. Because, in addition to increasing the penile blood flow... See that penis? It acts as a beta blocker to keep the heart rate down during intercourse⁴. I mean, how dope is that?

 

Focker: That's pretty dope.

 

Nurse Focker needed in room 220 B, stat. Nurse Focker, room 220 B.

 

Focker: I'm sorry, hang on one second.

 

Androvsky: Will you get out of my ass⁵?

 

Louis: If you would stop squirming around...

 

Androvsky: But you don't know what you're doing.

 

Louis: It could have been over, sir.

 

Focker: Hey, hey, hey, how you doing there, g. Androvsky? Everything okay?

 

Androvsky: Well, this nurse is a barbarian⁶.

 

Louis: Okay, I'm not a barbarian. He keeps clenching⁷ and I can't make an insertion.

 

Focker: Louis, it's...

 

Androvsky: It's a natural response to protect that cavity.

 

Focker: You're right, it is a natural response. I would protect my cavity, too. And we just got to do it a little bit gentler.

 

Andi: May I suggest something? Sir, why don't you extend your left leg and put your right knee right up to your chest. It'll help relax things down there.

 

Focker: She's right. You just do that and you just grab the side of the bed there, like that, and exhale⁸... There you go.

 

Andi: Nurse, did you sufficiently⁹ lubricate the nozzle?

 

Louis: I did do that.

 

Andi: Great.

 

Focker: Good, good, okay. You got this?

 

Andi: Yep.

 

Focker: All right. Take a nice deep breath.

 

Andi: And focus on relaxing your anus.

 

Focker: Right. That's right. You just want to let it dilate¹⁰, sort of like a flower opening up.

 

Andi: Blossoming lotus.

 

Focker: Sort of like a desert cactus¹¹.

 

Andi: Maturing.

 

Focker: It's okay. Just a little, friendly visitor just saying hello.

 

Andi: All right, I'm just gonna stick it in a little further.

 

Focker: Good smooth insertion.

 

Andi: Thank you.

 

Focker: I'm gonna release the clamp. And let it flow.

 

Androvsky: Better.

 

Andi: How's that?

 

Focker: That was great. Nice technique.

 

Andi: That was so fun.

 

Focker: Yeah, yeah. I was thinking about it and, honestly, I just don't have time to moonlight pitching a drug right now.

 

Andi: Shot down.

 

Focker: No, it's not you. It's just...

 

Andi: No, I get it, you know. Running nursing in med-surge is a big job.

 

Focker: Yeah, yeah, so big, I'm making less than I did when I was in the ER.

 

Andi: Look, we are sponsoring a convention at the Hilton. You can make tons of dough¹² for, like, one speech. Think about it.

 

Focker: Okay. I will, I'll think about it. Okay.

 

Andi: Knuckles¹³?

 

Focker: Knuckles.

 

Andi: That was bad-ass, by the way.

 

Focker: Yeah. Literally¹⁴.
