Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Justin is a teenager boy, who has an oral obsession with his thumb. His mother seems to be a normal housekeeper, but she has her own obsessions as well, like a crush on a TV-star. The only person who's aware of Justin's problem is his father, manager in a store, but none of his advices seem to be working for Justin. The kid is signed up in a debate workshop, but the thing isn't going well, because he has his mind in a pretty classmate and, of course, in his thumb, affecting all the rest of his classes. So, Justin is a loner kid in the school, who prefers to lock himself in the bathroom and suck his thumb. Justin's dentist, a mystical-hippie person, will try to help to overcome his thumb problem, through the hypnosis. But the school's psychologist will diagnose Justin with the Attention Deficit Disorder, and will prescribe him some drugs. Suddenly, Justin's problem with his thumb will disappear, becoming an hyperactive genius, winning several debate contests and the admiration from his teacher. Nevertheless, more serious problems will come for Justin with his mother, his father and with a drug addiction. Written by Alejandro Frias |

| Quotes |
[Justin see's Dr. Perry for the last time in his new office before leaving off to college]
Justin Cobb: What happened? Dr. Perry Lyman: What do you mean? Justin Cobb: This place. It looks a little depressing. Dr. Perry Lyman: I don't know, I... I guess I stopped trying to be anything. I accepted myself and all my human disorder. You might wanna do the same. Do you remember when you were like, 13 or something, you were... You were always doing an impression of a newsman. Justin Cobb: [chuckles] I did? Dr. Perry Lyman: You were quite good. Justin Cobb: Sorry. Dr. Perry Lyman: If that's what you want to do, New York is the perfect place for you. Make the contacts, knock on doors. [Dr. Perry lights a cigarette] Dr. Perry Lyman: Get the right haircut, take voice lessons. Might work. Then again. You'll have to deal with a lot of fear. Justin Cobb: I just came here for a checkup. Dr. Perry Lyman: Really? Justin, I'm sorry if I contributed to any feelings of shame you may have about your thumb. I've been reading up on it. Medically, psychologically, there's nothing really wrong with thumb sucking. Justin Cobb: I don't think I can agree with that. Dr. Perry Lyman: No, really. Look. Justin... there was nothing wrong with you. Justin Cobb: It felt like everything was wrong with me. Dr. Perry Lyman: That's 'cause we all wanna be problemless. To fix ourselves. We look for some magic solution to make us all better, but none of us really know what we're doing. And why is that so bad? That's all we humans can do. Guess. Try. Hope. But, Justin, just pray you don't fool yourself into thinking you've got the answer. Because that's bullshit. The trick is living without an answer. I think. [both chuckle and laugh] Dr. Perry Lyman: [Dr. Perry chuckles and lights another cigarette] I think. See more » |
