:50:01
My God.
:50:06
If there is a despised,
misunderstood minority in this country...
:50:10
it is us poor, impotent bastards.
I'm impotent, and I'm proud of it.
:50:14
Impotence is beautiful, baby!
:50:18
- Power to the impotent! Right on, baby!
- Right on!
:50:24
You know...
:50:28
when I say impotent,
I don't mean merely limp.
:50:34
Disagreeable as it may be for a woman,
a man may lust for other things...
:50:40
something a little less transient
than an erection.
:50:44
A sense of permanent worth.
:50:47
That's what medicine was to me,
my reason for being.
:50:56
When I was 34...
:50:58
I presented a paper
before the annual convention...
:51:02
of the Society of Clinical Investigation...
:51:04
that pioneered
the whole goddamn field of lmmunology.
:51:07
A breakthrough.
:51:08
I'm in all the textbooks.
:51:11
I happen to be an eminent man.
:51:15
You know something else?
I don't give a goddamn.
:51:22
When I say impotent...
:51:26
I mean I've lost even my desire to work.
:51:31
That's a hell of a lot
more primal passion than sex.
:51:36
I've lost my reason for being.
:51:38
My purpose.
:51:42
The only thing I ever truly loved.
:51:51
It is all rubbish, isn't it?
:51:57
Transplants, antibodies...
