美剧Billions/亿万 S1E3(23-25minute)

原文

Fuck, Wend. I never get used to how you live.

Yeah.

You know, I can see why you made the choice that you did. E.R., it's binary.

They come in bleeding to death, I get them back on the rails inside of a day. Or not. Either way, it's done. I'm forced to move on to the next, to be present.

It's satisfying.

I'm an adrenaline junkie anyway.

Well, we're both addicts. This thing I do... I get so fucking turned on doing it because I see the change happen immediately, too. They go from zero to 100, and I can watch exactly how they use what I give them.

Yeah, but something about it is not sitting right with you. You're in the horns of a dilemma. Horns...of a...dilemma.

There's this woman. She's a real badass. I like her a lot. And I know she's about to get crushed, and the guy who's gonna crush her is my patient,too. All these people matter to me, and I can't do my job if I judge them.

Do the triage. Figure out who needs what more and go that way. That's the short-term fix. Long term? This shit is gonna give you ulceritis. Worse. Talk to Chase, the headhunter.

That guy you...

Yeah, we had a little thing. It was years ago.

You were kinda into him.

He was...fun.

Good at certain things, if I recall.

Very conscientious.

Someone's gotta talk to Purkheiser. He made his money in meat processing.Feared by the bovine. Kills over a million cows a year. He's been described to me as a cool-headed Midwesterner who can smell bullshit in the colon of a bull from across the ranch.
