The cranial structure
was based on 30 pins,
:49:38
and fastened by micro panels
and bone from the mandible.

Unfortunately, as you were in a coma...

We'll continue to investigate.
However, there are so many others
:50:42
who have not had the aesthetic benefit
of plastic surgery as you have.
:50:47
This isn't about vanity,
Dr Pomerantz.
:50:50
This isn't about vanity.
This is about functioning in the world.
:50:54
It's my job to be out there functioning.
:50:57
I've got the money.
I'll pay any amount.
