She seems to be kind of fed up with some of his cutoffness, but we get glimpses in later scenes of the hope that she had for. Stiles: Well, we meet them when the relationship is really imploding. Taylor? Why do you think she has a relationship with him? MF: Julia, taking into light of everything that Kelsey just said, what is the relationship between Dr. He's a remarkable man in the face of a really, really tough situation, he still fights. He's completely unappealing on so many levels, but there's this thing in him as well that is. I'm crying when I watch it.īut, you still hope the best for him in a weird way. He's got a sense of purpose and there's only one thing stopping him from getting there, and that's dying. He has robbed himself of certain human emotions that aren't serving him anymore, that don't do him any good. He's quite heroic in his way, even though he's not particularly attractive in another way. I guess you could say he has a bit of a sentence, a cloud hanging over his head that would probably have influenced another man, a weaker man, to just quit.
