American Mary
Miss Mason.
Since your listening skills
are so adept,
perhaps you could tell me how many
molecules of oxygen
a molecule of haemoglobin can hold
in the blood for transport.
- Four.
- And haemoglobin is what?
The iron-containing
oxygen-transport metalloprotein
- in the red blood cells of vertebrates.
- Anywhere else?
In the tissues of some invertebrates.
Do not bring cell phones
into my classroom.
- No, sir.
- It is very f*cking rude.
Now, back to where we left off.
Amputation reattachment.
An amputated arm...
...can be surgically reattached
if the patient receives
surgical attention within four hours.
An amputated hand within eight,
So, four, eight, 12.
Dr Grant, I am so sorry.
I'm really embarrassed about that.
Surgeons don't have the luxury about
being sorry about anything, Mary.
I have enough useless twats in my class.
I'm not gonna abide by one of my
- promising students falling asleep.
- I am so sorry.
- I was up all night studying.
- Uh-huh. That's what they all say.
- I was suturing a turkey.
- Uh-huh. Did you eat it afterwards?
It wasn't an eating turkey.
I see great potential in you, Mary,
if you stop f*cking up in my class.
I will.
Good surgeons don't
make any mistakes, Mary.
Miss Mason, it says here
that you've been late on a payment.
I know, I called last Friday
and I put $40 in my account.
It does say here that
you did make a payment on Friday.
- But $40 isn't usually enough...
- No one said that my service
was gonna be cut off,
and when I called on Friday,
they said everything was fine.
They obviously made a mistake.
I want you to know that this is
something we don't usually do.
I'm going to restore your service
without a reconnection fee.
When will you be able
to make your next payment?
Um...
I should be able to put some money
on it in... let's say two weeks.
How much do I have to put on
to keep me in the clear?
$364 should be enough.
OK. Um, what's the least
that I could put on it?
$364.
Yeah, well, that's
'cause my phone got cut off.
What? Your phone is cut off? When?
Sometime this afternoon, I think.
But everything's fine now.
It's all figured out.
I have a little.
I can go in the bank tomorrow.
No. No, no, no. It's, uh...
I don't need it, Nana.
The, uh...
I've already talked to the bank.
The phone company just made a mistake.
- So everything's OK.
- Oh, good.
in the school?
Nobody's trying to lie down
with your boyfriend?
I don't have a boyfriend.
And it doesn't really happen
in med school anyway.
Well, I was watching this show,
and this blonde was trying to make love
to all the boys, and when her friend
find out, she made up a story
so everyone would think she was the one
making love to everyone.
I didn't know that happened. Everyone
today is just taking off their clothes,
saying, "Let's make love."
Like it's nothing.
Well, I'm sure that was
just the show, Nana.
They have to do that
They won't wanna watch
They never have that sort of thing
in Budapest.
There was a road, where the women
would be on the corner.
- Corva, the woman.
- Whores.
- Billy?
- Over there.
I'm doing an interview.
Sorry.
- What's this?
- This is my resume.
I didn't know if you
needed one or not.
You don't need it to work here,
but it is nice to find out
some of your dirty secrets.
Thank you... Mary.
Got a lot of schooling on here.
Gonna be a doctor?
- Surgeon.
- Surgeon.
