Trading Places (the movie, not the show)

Today, a doctor became a friend and a friend became a doctor. Alison gave her defense this afternoon and now goes by Dr. T while Doc Whitecastle, who's been a double doctor for as long as I've known, let slip about a change in status in the midst of his regularly scheduled lecture pointing out all the titles that would be helpful for me to have that I do not (MD, epidemiologist, economist, etc).

Whitecastle: Let me ask you something as a friend-

Moi: We're friends now? This is so exciting.

Whitecastle: Uh (clearly reconsidering proposition), you still have to do what I tell you to.

Moi: (considers proposition) I'm OK with that.
