I got a crazy idea.

But first, I gotta go
scrub in on that p*rn star.

I hear it looks like an eggplant.

- Stop talking.

All right.

WILL: An incision into
the corpus cavernosum

won't help us because the corpus
is ruptured in this case.

Alternatives? Eyes on the field,
not on me.

It's not pleasant to look at,

but it requires your full attention.

I'm not, uh...

- I wasn't avoiding...
- The penis?

It's anatomy, doctor.

An incision centimeter
proximal to the coronal sulcus

would afford excellent exposure.

Mm. Circumferential degloving.

Then you get to tell him in post-op

why he has no penile sensation.

Which bone is fractured?

The anatomy is not recognizable
and, uh, large.

It's never textbook.

And there's no bone in the penis.

I knew that. I... I know that.

Start an inguinal scrotal incision.

We'll invert the penis inside out.

So how long you been
working on the house?

Couple years.

So you do live there?

Did you think I had you pick me
up at a house that wasn't mine?
