00:00And apparently Dr. Slinkletter and Sturgis were aware that I already should have been focusing on my applications.
00:06And they didn't say anything to you?
00:08Well, they did, but I don't come off well in that story.
00:11Jelly, how bad could it be? You started college when you were 11.
00:16Well, it was impressive when I was little and cute, but now that I'm old and cute, it's just not the same thing.
00:20Well, just because you look older doesn't mean you're any less special.
00:25Of course. It's your fault.
00:28What?
00:29Well, you've been saying I'm special my whole life, so now I'm conditioned to expect the world to cater to me instead of taking initiative.
00:35But you were special, sweetie.
00:38You just can't turn it off, can you?
00:46This has changed in nothing.
00:48You washed your hands, right?
00:52Jelly, you want some mashed potatoes?
00:54See, there you go again. Bringing the mashed potatoes to me when I should be going to the mashed potatoes.
00:58Good.
01:00What's going on?
01:01Years of coddling have made me complacent, and now it may cost me my chance to get into grad school at Caltech.
01:06I've been saying that since you were born.
01:08And yet you did nothing to stop her?
01:10If it helps, I always thought you sucked.
01:12Missy.
01:13I talked to Meemaw. She said if you come back to work at the video store, you can bring the baby.
01:18What? I thought you wanted a job.
01:20No, I said I wanted a career.
01:22Oh. Are you thinking about going back to work already?
01:26Yeah. I mean, it's a little earlier than I thought, but an opportunity came up, and I'm going for it.
01:32See? Initiative. Her parents kicked her out, and look at that gumption.
