Farrell got to play pretend doctor, and at the end of the day he washed food dye and Karo syrup off his hands and got to go home without having to be concerned about how many people he killed. What's worse, he honestly believes he has done something so exceptional, so creative, so critical, that it is worth the money he's being paid.

One of the all-time funniest movie characters.

HER: What are you doing!?
HIM: I'm thinking!
