4. What pastime did Ellie tell Sean she took up after menopause?
From Quiz "Nip/Tuck" - "Rhea Reynolds"
Answer:
writing mystery novels
Ellie confessed to Sean, "Most of our marriage I was all about Carl, and then, after menopause, I got this sudden surge of energy and I just started writing these little murder mysteries and Carl was very supportive of me; he even read my drafts for me. But then when he expressed feelings of missing me, I was pretty much, 'Don't rain on my parade.' And then I called home one night - I was on a book tour in London - and he claimed not to know who I was. He said his wife had run away and I became angry and I told him that his sense of humor was very passive-aggressive and then, three days later, my son called and told me that they found him, wandering in the neighborhood in his pajama bottoms, filthy and dehydrated, and he couldn't remember which house was his, and basically, he's never recognized me again." Sean was obviously touched by the story and tried to console Ellie, saying "I am so sorry." Ellie replied by asking, "Doctor, have you ever hurt anyone you love? In such a way that doesn't even seem like you, but then you can't go back and make it different. It's a kind of pain I never could have imagined." Though Sean clearly felt sympathetic and related Ellie's story to his own problems with Sean, he told her he couldn't risk the surgery considering the danger her age posed.
