Malice is a 1993 film written by Aaron Sorkin, Jonas McCord and Scott Frank. The movie was directed by Harold Becker and stars Nicole Kidman, Alec Baldwin, and Bill Pullman. The film was released on October 1, 1993.

Malice tells the story of a happily married couple who want to have children. Tracy does voluntary work at an infant's school, and Andy is a college professor. Things are never the same after Tracy is taken to the hospital and operated on by Jed, a high-flying doctor friend of Andy's.

Andy and Tracy Safian live a peaceful life in a sleepy suburb of Massachusetts. Andy is the Associate Dean of the local college while Tracy teaches art to kids. They live in and are restoring a Victorian home with bad plumbing. A young boy, whose mother is a nurse on the late shift, seems to watch them having sex from his bedroom while he plays on his keyboard.

A young student is attacked by a serial rapist. Her life is saved by a new doctor, Dr. Jed Hill. Needing money to fix the plumbing, Andy invites Jed to lodge with them. As a side issue, Tracy has been suffering terrible pains and has been secretly taking medication.

Another student is attacked and killed. Since Andy found the body, Detective Dana Harris asks for a sample of his semen. At the police station, Andy learns that his wife is in hospital. Jed operates on Tracy and saves her life. He finds out that she is pregnant; he also notices that her ovaries are torsed and appear necrotic. Jed asks Andy to make the decision on whether they should be removed (thus negating any chance of her ever becoming pregnant again). Over the protests of the other doctors, Jed opts not to wait for tests but removes her ovaries. In doing so, the fetus aborts. Afterwards, Jed is told that the ovaries were, in fact, healthy. Jed decides not to bury the report but instead to face the consequences of his actions.

At a hearing, it is decided that Jed acted wrongly - and had been drinking the previous night. Tracy is awarded $20 million in damages. She also leaves Andy, whom she blames for the loss of her ovaries.

Andy discovers the identity of the serial rapist and apprehends him. Later, Dana Harris tells him that his semen sample was sterile; the child could not have been his. Andy tells this to Jed, no longer a doctor, but Jed isn’t interested because either way, he is responsible for Tracy's infertility. Andy confronts Tracy’s lawyer, Dennis Riley, and accuses him of fraud. Riley denies this, but lets slip that Tracy’s mother, whom Andy thought was dead, is still alive.

Tracy’s mother, Mrs. Kennsinger, tells Andy all about her sweet little daughter; that Tracy is, in fact, a con artist. She says that Tracy had a relationship with a wealthy man who paid her to have an abortion (Tracy kept the money and had it done illegally). The mother also confirms Andy's suspicion that Tracy was pregnant by a Dr. David Lilianfield. Andy follows the trail to a clifftop house where he finds Tracy living with Jed.

Jed had given Tracy the pills, and injections, so she could fake her illness, then twisted the healthy ovaries with his hands. But Tracy doubled her money by also being pregnant. Now Andy is on to them. Tracy agrees to meet Andy and puts on all her charm. Andy tells her he wants half the money or he’s going to the cops. There’s a witness: the young boy who watched her and Jed from his bedroom window.

Jed tries to stop Tracy from killing the kid, but she shoots Jed dead. Tracy goes to the boy’s house and smothers him with cellophane - but it’s only a dummy. Dana arrives and arrests Tracy. As she is taken away, the boy and his mother arrive back. When the boy steps out of the car, it is apparent he is blind--he couldn't have witnessed anything.

Alec Baldwin has had many "movie-stealing scenes" for their memorability and impact. This movie has two such monologues...

"I have an M.D. from Harvard, I am board certified in cardio-thoracic medicine and trauma surgery, I have been awarded citations from seven different medical boards in New England, and I am never, ever sick at sea. So I ask you; when someone goes into that chapel and they fall on their knees and they pray to God that their wife doesn't miscarry or that their daughter doesn't bleed to death or that their mother doesn't suffer acute neural trauma from postoperative shock, who do you think they're praying to? Now, go ahead and read your Bible, Dennis, and you go to your church, and, with any luck, you might win the annual raffle, but if you're looking for God, he was in operating room number two on November seventeen, and he doesn't like to be second guessed. You ask me if I have a God complex. Let me tell you something: I am God."

Many consider this a classic Sorkin monologue, among other reasons for containing a Gilbert and Sullivan reference ("never, ever sick at sea" is a line from HMS Pinafore).

This quote was parodied on the animated series Drawn Together, in the episode "Terms of Endearment". Wooldoor Sockbat, playing a scientist attempting to create a clone, says at one point, "You ask me if I have a God complex? I am God."

The line "You ask me if I have a God complex. Let me tell you something: I am God" is quoted in the Swedish metal band Persuader's song "Twisted Eyes" from their album When Eden Burns. It is also quoted in the American death metal band Broken Hope's song "I am God" from their album Loathing and Swedish melodic death metal band Construcdead's song "God After Me" from their album Repent. It is quoted in Altaria (band)'s song Prophet of Pestilence as well.

"I'm the new guy around here and I want to make friends, so I'll say this to you and we'll start fresh. If you don't like my jokes, don't laugh. If you have a medical opinion, then please speak up and speak up loud. But if you ever again tell me or my surgical staff that we're going to lose a patient, I'm gonna take out your lungs with a fuckin' ice cream scoop. Do you understand me?"
