Quotes
-
Dr. Daniel Charles : Elliot is very troubled. The poor kid is just consumed with sexual thoughts.
Dr. Ethan Choi : Aren't most kids his age?
Dr. Daniel Charles : Yeah, but he's been raised to believe that sex is wrong unless it's for procreation. And repressing his natural urges is triggering aggressive impulses, which he's struggling to control.
Dr. Ethan Choi : Aggressive?
Dr. Daniel Charles : He fetishizes blondes. Stalks them.
Dr. Ethan Choi : We're talking about a sexual predator?
Dr. Daniel Charles : Not a psychopath. I mean, he has a conscience. I mean, I think he could definitely benefit from therapy, but I'm not ruling out those meds.
Dr. Ethan Choi : Chemical castration, really?
Dr. Daniel Charles : It's temporary, Ethan. Raping somebody isn't.

Stan Gallagher : So a kid got beat up. What does he need a psychiatrist for?
Dr. Daniel Charles : Well, Elliot was caught peeping on girls in the shower at school.
Debbie Gallagher : Oh, my god.
Stan Gallagher : Wait 'till I get him home.
Dr. Daniel Charles : But much more troubling are some violent impulses that, so far, he hasn't acted upon.
Dr. Ethan Choi : And there is something we can do.
Dr. Daniel Charles : Elliot wants us to give him a medication that would turn off his testosterone. This would significantly decrease his sex drive and make it much easier for him to control these impulses, but we do need your permission to do it.

Stan Gallagher : "Turn off his testosterone"? What exactly are you talking about?
Dr. Daniel Charles : The medical term is chemical castration.
Debbie Gallagher : What?
Dr. Daniel Charles : It's completely reversible. The idea would be to combine it with traditional therapy with the hope of ultimately weaning him off the medication.
Stan Gallagher : No. No way.
Dr. Daniel Charles : Elliot could very well be on the verge of acting out on some very disturbing impulses, including rape.
Debbie Gallagher : He would never do anything like that.
Stan Gallagher : You people are sick.
Dr. Daniel Charles : Again, this was your son's idea.
Dr. Ethan Choi : Elliot is torn up about this. He's scared he may not be able to stop himself.

Dr. Connor Rhodes : I'm worried about Robin. She's... she's not acting like herself.
Dr. Daniel Charles : Huh.
Dr. Connor Rhodes : She is, uh, she's convinced that there's rats in my condo, but I haven't seen them or heard them, and no exterminator can find them.
Dr. Daniel Charles : Rats can be pretty clever.
Dr. Connor Rhodes : Not that clever.
