Quotes

Sean: {about the paparazzi) Why are they doing this?
Christian: You're a public person now, buddy boy! They own you! Nothing is off limits. (edit)
Candy: You know, doctor, if a tree falls in a woods and two dozen nerds with cameras aren't there to put it online... does it really make a sound? I don't think so! And you wanna know why? Because that tree doesn't know what it takes to be famous, and I do! (edit)
Liz (to Sean and Christian): Every idiot out here wants to be famous. But you, you guys got something better. You got respect as doctors, as skilled physicians. And you didn't get this recognition by going out and looking for it. You got it because you've got talent. You've got integrity. (Christian looks at Sean.) Okay, maybe not integrity. (edit)
Christian: (about the car accident he got into when he and Annie were being chased by paparazzi) Are you mad at me?
Sean: I'm mad at myself. I feel like a fool. I lost myself. I lost my priorities, my values. I chased a dream like a silly teenager, and look what's happened? I can't blame you for anything.
Christian: We both got caught up. That's what happens out here, I guess. Sean: Yeah, but don't you think the measure of a man is his ability to maintain his core values, no matter what's going on around him? Christian: Easier said than done. (edit)
Matt: You know, you've been messing with people's faces for so long that I think you don't even know how ugly looks like anymore. (edit)

"Silly"
Fame! (I'm Going Make it To Heaven) Nip/Tuck ends its season five with a TOTALLY CLICHED finale, there's everything from retrograde amnesia, car accidents, parapalegics, Crazy Colleen and Stabby. Will this show ever rebound?

"Filler episode"
Just when I had believed that they had pulled off an Amazing season ender with the previous episode...this episode comes and it ruins the dramatic and genius that should have been the season ender.
