00:04:09how does one solve the problem of feeding the world only less little john knows
00:04:17now what if we could take say an ear of corn and shrink it to a fraction of its original
00:04:23size
00:04:24just imagine a farmer could grow 10 a hundred a thousand ears of corn in the space it takes to
00:04:31grow
00:04:32one but how does cellular reduction work my revolutionary molecular transformation process
00:04:39fundamentally changes the distance between atoms oh the real question is can you restore the corn
00:04:46cop to regular size after it's been miniaturized not only can we do it we will do it together
00:04:51help and smith we can make more with less that's l e s i'll take it from here less okay

00:06:18Amaze me again, make it big.

00:06:23Oh, that big corn takes a big investment.
00:06:25Oh, there he is.
00:06:26Money man chiming in.
00:06:28Well, go on.
00:06:29You know, Flavor Saver was a huge step forward.
00:06:33It was the first and the best GMO tomato on the market.
00:06:37But it was a failure.
00:06:38Well, no, it wasn't.
00:06:41It was a breakthrough, but it tasted like old Band-Aids.
00:06:44Admit it.
00:06:45No, I don't think I want to.
00:06:48Admit it or I walk.
00:06:50No.
00:06:55Fuck yeah!
00:06:56You should never admit failure.
00:06:58I got you.
00:07:00Yes, you did, Hilton.
00:07:01But this agrotech is going to change the world.
00:07:05Jinx?
00:07:06And just think, this is only the beginning.
00:07:08Sorry, who are you?
00:07:09Vivian, Hilton's chief scientist.
00:07:11I'm the guts.
00:07:12I just write the checks.
00:07:13She's...
00:07:14The brains.
00:07:15And my guts never make mistakes.
00:07:17I mean, I would write you a check right now.
00:07:21But for some reason, I'm just not feeling yummy in my tummy.
00:07:29You.
00:07:30Me.
00:07:31Who are you?
00:07:33Is this a trick question?
00:07:34I don't know.
00:07:35Is it?
00:07:36Well, who are you?
00:07:38I'm awesome.
00:07:39I'm Hilton.
00:07:40Well, I'm awesome.
00:07:41I'm less.
00:07:44Yeah, I'm going to need more.
00:07:52You like it?
00:07:55Yeah, I'm going to lose my house.
00:08:13Hey.
00:08:15Hey.
00:08:16Uh, something quietly revealed itself to me.
00:08:20Oh, what's that?
00:08:22Maria's staff pick.
00:08:23My rainbow starts with black.
00:08:26It's a Pulitzer Prize winning novel.
00:08:27By the one, the only, Lindy McMichael Littlejohn.
00:08:32That's a lifetime ago.
00:08:35Uh-oh.
00:08:35Eighteen years and still a fan fave?
00:08:37Listen, Richie.
00:08:39Um, we need to talk.
00:08:42Uh-oh.
00:08:43No.
00:08:44Yeah.
00:08:45No, we've just begun.
00:08:47Richie.
00:08:48Hold on.
00:08:48This is just the first act.
00:08:50Do not turn this into a tragedy.
00:08:52Tragedy's a better story.
00:08:54Oh, I wish they had a section on how to repair an emotional affair.
00:08:59Listen, you really saw me when I needed it the most.
00:09:03I do.
00:09:04Yeah, and you really gave me that emotional intimacy that I craved, you know?
00:09:10Mm-hmm.
00:09:11You were a great shoulder, an ear.
00:09:14Mm-hmm.
00:09:14You're so handsome, young, smart.
00:09:18No, stop it.
00:09:19And maybe in another life, but...
00:09:21But I fell in love.
00:09:24And you?
00:09:26I fell in Les.
00:09:27Hell yes.
00:09:28Yeah.
00:09:28Why?
00:09:30Les knows the real me, the worst of me, and he still loves me.
00:09:36I could love the worst of you.
00:09:37No.
00:09:38He has 20 years on you, and you've known me, like, a few months.
00:09:41Six and a half.
00:09:43Les?
00:09:45He made a grand gesture, and he promised me a fresh start, and I believe him.
00:09:51Why?
00:09:52No, no, no, actually, don't say.
00:09:54Love should remain a mystery.
00:09:58My mom told me that.
00:10:00Okay.
00:10:01And I go.
00:10:02Just, just, wait, wait, wait.
00:10:03This...
00:10:04Oh, God, no, no.
00:10:04I got you this Christmas present.
00:10:06I absolutely cannot accept this.
00:10:08You must, or it means our love was in vain.
00:10:10Shh, shh, not love.
00:10:11Okay, okay, okay.
00:10:11Okay, just open the card first.
00:10:14There is no need to thank me.
00:10:16Okay.
00:10:31Merry Christmas, my love.
00:10:34In anticipation of the new year, new you, and new us, I thought this would be a great start.
00:10:40Open the present.
00:10:41I'll wait.
00:10:52I hate this rag.
00:10:53I know you hate this rag, but I knew you'd never send it in yourself.
00:10:58Give it a quick read.
00:10:59See if you recognize it.
00:11:02Oh, Richie.
00:11:04No, no, no, no, no.
00:11:05What have you done?
00:11:06I presented to be your book agent.
00:11:08Your story is gonna be in the New Yorker.
00:11:12No.
00:11:13I didn't write this.
00:11:15I'm fucked.
00:11:16I know it's overwhelming, and I'm sure you don't.
00:11:19Oh, fuck, Richie.
00:11:22No, no, no.
00:11:23Oh, my fuck.
00:11:25Oh, shit, shit, shit, shit.
00:11:27Oh, bitch, pick up, pick up.
00:11:28Hi, this is Terry.
00:11:29Leave a message.
00:11:30Terry.
00:11:31Oh, fuck.
00:11:32Okay, there is a story.
00:11:34There's a story in the New Yorker with my name on it, and I need you to call me back.
00:11:38This is an emergency.
00:11:39For serious this time, call me back.
00:11:42Fuck.
00:11:44Fuck!
00:11:53Shut the door.
00:11:55Why?
00:11:55Because I want to raise my voice.
00:11:58Jesus jumping crackers.
00:12:00Why would you invite Hilton to your charity event at your home tonight?
00:12:05Because he wants to know who I am.
00:12:06But Lindy will be there.
00:12:08And?
00:12:08I'm sorry.
00:12:09Am I the only one that remembers last year?
00:12:11The silent auction?
00:12:13The pool incident?
00:12:14And you're still serving alcohol this year, right?
00:12:16Count me out.
00:12:17I'm sorry.
00:12:18I cannot watch.
00:12:21I don't think that my heart or my stomach can tolerate another interaction with him.
00:12:27But we are broke.
00:12:29And here's all we have.
00:12:31There are no more interested investors less with Hilton's kind of cash.
00:12:36You know what?
00:12:37Lindy and I are fine now.
00:12:38We're good, even.
00:12:40And we're renewing our vows.
00:12:41New year.
00:12:42New us.
00:12:43Yes.
00:12:43You said that last year.
00:12:44This year it's going to stick.
00:12:45You sleeping in the same bed?
00:12:46Yes.
00:12:47Just sleeping?
00:12:48Sleeping plus.
00:12:50Big plus?
00:12:51Small plus.
00:12:52It'd feel so much better if it was big.
00:12:54We're on the road to big.
00:12:55I promise you.
00:12:56Um, okay.
00:12:58Lindy, it's me.
00:12:59It's me calling you.
00:13:01Um, I'm not panicking, but just call me back before the party, okay?
00:13:04It's not an emergency, but it's an emergency.
00:13:06Oh, oh, oh.
00:13:07So sorry, sir.
00:13:08Um, my, uh, my polyp is gone.
00:13:10Yeah, but there's a hole in my heart now.
00:13:12Sounds like a case for the Bard's Guard.
00:13:14So I'll be unable to attend your party this evening.
00:13:17Our loss.
00:13:17Good luck, Richard.
00:13:42You're not Jackie.
00:13:43I'm hell.
00:13:44Don't make me raise it.
00:13:45Who are you?
00:13:46I'm Professor Littlejohn.
00:13:47Jackie's professor.
00:13:48Did she leave for break already?
00:13:49Have I missed her?
00:13:50I hope not, because I'm her fucking ride.
00:13:53Jackie!
00:13:54Professor Littlejohn.
00:13:55Yeah, Lindy.
00:13:56You should call me Lindy.
00:13:57Oh, uh, hell, uh, Professor Littlejohn is the reason that I'm here.
00:14:02Oh, you wrote that book she loves.
00:14:04I didn't read it.
00:14:05No offense.
00:14:06None taken.
00:14:07Jackie, I'm so glad I caught you.
00:14:09Can we talk?
00:14:10Yeah.
00:14:11Just real quick.
00:14:12Oh, you mean without me?
00:14:13I do.
00:14:14Oh.
00:14:14Is it okay?
00:14:15Oh, yeah.
00:14:16Is it rude?
00:14:16No offense, but sure.
00:14:18Okay.
00:14:18Let's just have a...
00:14:19Okay.
00:14:21Um.
00:14:23Have I done something wrong, Professor Littlejohn?
00:14:25Oh, no, no.
00:14:26Gosh, no.
00:14:27No, I have.
00:14:28I have.
00:14:30I, um...
00:14:31I need to tell you something.
00:14:34Uh...
00:14:37I loved your short story.
00:14:41Untitled on Purpose.
00:14:42Oh, yeah, that's the one.
00:14:43Yeah, I loved it.
00:14:44It was brilliant.
00:14:45Uh, the prose was incisive.
00:14:47Oh, just the voice.
00:14:49Fresh.
00:14:49Distinguished.
00:14:50Rare.
00:14:51One that deserves the attention of the New York literati.
00:14:57I mean, that means the world to me.
00:15:00Professor Littlejohn, it's almost Christmas and you're at my door complimenting my work.
00:15:04I...
00:15:04Oh, my gosh.
00:15:04I couldn't ask for a better guess.
00:15:05Okay, listen to me.
00:15:06Listen to me.
00:15:07Yes?
00:15:07You need to turn it into a novel right now.
00:15:12Now?
00:15:13Really?
00:15:14Really now.
00:15:15Mm-hmm.
00:15:15Um.
00:15:16I guess I could get started over the break.
00:15:19No, you need to take next semester off and just write.
00:15:21The whole semester.
00:15:24The whole semester.
00:15:24You just want to isolate and write.
00:15:27While it's fresh, while it's here, while Untitled on Purpose is coursing through you, right?
00:15:33Yes, I feel it.
00:15:33Okay, so you need to isolate and write.
00:15:35Uh, no distractions, no internet, no novels, no magazines, no, uh, nothing.
00:15:41No, nothing.
00:15:41Right?
00:15:41Nothing.
00:15:42And just all winter long, a very room of one's own.
00:15:45Right.
00:15:45Wolf it.
00:15:46Right, wolf it.
00:15:47Could you do that?
00:15:48Yes.
00:15:48Well, how's dad?
00:15:50My Uncle Flip, he has a cabin back in Montana that's super...
00:15:53Isolated.
00:15:54Oh.
00:15:54Walden Pond isolated.
00:15:55That's perfect.
00:15:56Right?
00:15:56Yes, Jackie.
00:15:57Yeah.
00:15:59This has the potential to be your...
00:16:02My rainbow starts with black?
00:16:04No, Professor Little John, it, it couldn't.
00:16:08Jackie, I should know.
00:16:10My goal in life is to just write one, one great novel like you.
00:16:16That's okay.
00:16:17So we're agreed.
00:16:19You're going to isolate and write.
00:16:20Yes.
00:16:20All semester.
00:16:21All semester.
00:16:22You're going to Montana.
00:16:23Yes.
00:16:24Remember, no magazines.
00:16:25Right?
00:16:25No?
00:16:26You don't want any?
00:16:26Uh-uh.
00:16:27Just turn off the internet.
00:16:29Okay?
00:16:30I will unplug completely.
00:16:31Yes.
00:16:32Okay.
00:16:33Hey, Merry Christmas.
00:16:34Merry Christmas to you too.
00:16:40Okay.
00:16:41Thanks.
00:16:43That's...
00:16:45Here.
00:16:46Here.
00:16:47Oh.
00:16:49Oh.
00:16:50Oh.
00:16:51Oh.
00:16:52Oh.
00:16:54Oh.
00:17:00Terry, thank Christ.
00:17:02Okay, listen, I...
00:17:03Here we go, 10 minutes.
00:17:05Blindsiding me with one short story published in the New Yorker over the last two decades gets
00:17:09you one.
00:17:09The fact that we've been friends for more than 20 years gets you another.
00:17:12And the other eight belong to Gillian Flynn.
00:17:14He continues to publish bestsellers, which bought me a classic six off the park.
00:17:18I didn't write the story.
00:17:20I didn't write the story.
00:17:20It's my students' work.
00:17:24My ex-emotional lover.
00:17:26Long story.
00:17:28Found the fucking story in my bag and thought it was mine.
00:17:30And I...
00:17:31Why would I correct him?
00:17:32You know?
00:17:33He sent it in without my knowledge on my behalf because he, long story, adored me and...
00:17:42I'm taking a sabbatical from Wash U. I'm headed to the gray house. Les and I are going to renew
00:17:47our vows.
00:17:48Long story.
00:17:49You're invited.
00:17:50I know you hate him.
00:17:51I did too.
00:17:52But he is a good dad.
00:17:54And I'm committed to committing to my marriage.
00:17:57So I cannot handle this shitstorm right now, which is sure, by the way, to tarnish your
00:18:04reputation as well.
00:18:05So if you want to keep that classic six, then can you please, please fix this fucking mess
00:18:12so I can focus on my vows and my marriage like I promised?
00:18:15I hate you.
00:18:17I know.
00:18:18I hate me too.
00:18:21No, you're not allowed to thank me.
00:18:28Oliver!
00:18:47Les has been calling.
00:18:48I've been texting.
00:18:49And I have been busy.
00:18:51Les needs you on best behavior tonight.
00:18:53Hilton Smith is attending.
00:18:55Condescending as always, Starla.
00:18:57And who?
00:18:58Necessary.
00:18:59And he is a big investor.
00:19:01You know.
00:19:01I thought the cover was on the pool last year.
00:19:03Right?
00:19:03You know that.
00:19:04Great!
00:19:05You already picked up the first frame to me.
00:19:06I did.
00:19:06Yep.
00:19:07It's locked.
00:19:08I know.
00:19:10Is this another party protest?
00:19:11No.
00:19:12Hilton is here in five.
00:19:13Starla.
00:19:14Your dress is upstairs.
00:19:15I need you inside.
00:19:15Now.
00:19:16What dress?
00:19:17Les had me assess your wardrobe situation.
00:19:19And we both agreed that the only option was to outsource an upgrade.
00:19:22Insulting?
00:19:24And what if I hate it?
00:19:25Your futures are on the line.
00:19:27He said to me, quote,
00:19:29No new year, new us without new money.
00:19:31Unquote.
00:19:32So please, just move.
00:19:34Get out of the car.
00:19:36Now!
00:19:37Goodbye, Starla.
00:19:38I will have the valet physically remove you.
00:19:43I need a minute!
00:19:46One minute!
00:19:49You need a Hulk out front?
00:19:51Stat.
00:20:19Come on!
00:20:20Tell me what Les is working on.
00:20:22This is the cover of Scientific American.
00:20:24He tells me nothing else.
00:20:26Mm-hmm.
00:20:27And you never ask.
00:20:29Bullshit, Les.
00:20:29I have printed that same quote from you ten times over the years.
00:20:32All I'll say is First World Fight Club.
00:20:35Lynn.
00:20:36And outdated.
00:20:37Just like Scientific American.
00:20:49Vodka dry.
00:20:58Oh, thank you.
00:21:07Big Red has landed.
00:21:10Where's Lindy?
00:21:11I need eyes on Lady Tornado.
00:21:13Help me.
00:21:13Give me a 20 on Deep Pockets.
00:21:16Double negative.
00:21:17Big Red is not happy.
00:21:18I know amazing style when I see it.
00:21:21Ugh.
00:21:22This is a facade.
00:21:24Oh, well, the facade is working.
00:21:26Mm.
00:21:27I'm teetering on the precipice of being outed as a fraud.
00:21:31Which I probably deserve.
00:21:34I'm supposed to be the supportive wife.
00:21:38But, uh, my career going up in flames is banging around my brain.
00:21:42That's all I can hear.
00:21:44What does your husband think about that?
00:21:45Oh, he has no clue.
00:21:47He's a fraud, too.
00:21:49Is that so?
00:21:50Mm.
00:21:52Welcome, everyone.
00:21:55Uh, every year, um, I say I'm going to keep it short and that this night is not about me.
00:22:00It's about the children.
00:22:02And tonight, I'm actually going to keep that promise.
00:22:04But, you know, let's be honest.
00:22:06Um, it has to be about me first because you're all here to bid on my stuff.
00:22:11Well, he's just playing the role of a charitable philanthropist.
00:22:17But all he really cares about is his life's work.
00:22:20First, himself second, our daughter third, and me last.
00:22:24Which I probably deserve.
00:22:26Well, just curious.
00:22:27What do you think about his life's work?
00:22:30And a very personal little ditty about Jack and Diane.
00:22:34My John Cougar Mellencamp Velcro wallet.
00:22:37With my high school ID still inside.
00:22:40Huh?
00:22:41Where else are you going to get one of those?
00:22:43I can't tell you that.
00:22:46It's so top secret, actually.
00:22:48I have no idea what it is.
00:22:50Hold on a second.
00:22:51My top elf is really trying to tell me something.
00:22:54Maybe tomato on the brand of Deepak.
00:22:55His two drinks and third on deck.
00:22:57You're fucking joking.
00:22:58You're fucking fired.
00:22:59I'll turn to my headset.
00:23:03But I can tell you,
00:23:06he's brilliant.
00:23:08Don't tell him I said that.
00:23:10Yeah.
00:23:11I mean, I'm already last.
00:23:13You know, what's after last?
00:23:16Not much.
00:23:17So, yeah.
00:23:18Merry Christmas and happy holidays.
00:23:21And hopefully that covers it all.
00:23:24Okay.
00:23:26Less?
00:23:27Five minutes.
00:23:27No.
00:23:28Two.
00:23:28One.
00:23:28Later.
00:23:29Maybe.
00:23:29Maybe.
00:23:29Done.
00:23:30Oh, everybody was up.
00:23:31Stop.
00:23:32Stop.
00:23:32I'm just explaining to this gentleman why there's no outdoor access this holiday season.
00:23:37So, as a joke, last year, I put into the silent auction.
00:23:40As a joke, watch Almighty Les walk on water.
00:23:44I thought the cover was on the pool.
00:23:46Oh.
00:23:46Hilton, I'm so sorry.
00:23:48You get it.
00:23:49Hilton, I'm so sorry.
00:23:50I just want to say I'm so sorry.
00:23:51Well, I pay right now to see that.
00:23:53Awesome.
00:23:54Les.
00:23:55If you can walk on water, you got my money.
00:23:58Are you being serious?
00:24:00No.
00:24:00No.
00:24:01Oh, great.
00:24:02So, I can still get the money?
00:24:04After the conversation with your wife, I don't know.
00:24:09Hi, Hilton.
00:24:10Listen, I didn't know.
00:24:11Okay, Lindy, why don't you just not say anything and maybe go and get us a lot of drinks?
00:24:16Okay, so, Hilton, I don't know what she said.
00:24:18Well, she said that you put work first, family third, and her did last.
00:24:23That's out of context.
00:24:24What kind of man are you?
00:24:25I know.
00:24:26I just, I can explain.
00:24:27I can explain.
00:24:31You never explain anything.
00:24:33I got you.
00:24:34Again.
00:24:35Again.
00:24:36You suck at this.
00:24:37I do, I do, I do.
00:24:38So, just to be clear, Lindy didn't tank the deal.
00:24:41She closed it.
00:24:42Now she's awesome.
00:24:44Workaholics, they changed the world.
00:24:46I'm a workaholic.
00:24:47I should know.
00:24:49Thank you so much.
00:24:50Thank you so much.
00:24:51I want to go to work right away.
00:24:52Like, fuck the holidays.
00:24:53Yeah, put it on my Christmas card every year.
00:24:55Yeah, you really see me.
00:24:57We both do.
00:24:58Oh, it's you again.
00:24:59Hilton's chief scientist.
00:25:01Oh, the brains.
00:25:02And the boots.
00:25:03The boots?
00:25:03The boots on the ground.
00:25:04What do the boots do?
00:25:05The boots ensure that my guts are never wrong.
00:25:09The boots are part of the deal.
00:25:12I'm all in.
00:25:13Are you?
00:25:14Awesome.
00:25:14Less.
00:25:21Fine, just tell me.
00:25:23I'm melting down.
00:25:25Because I fucked the deal.
00:25:26No, I closed the deal.
00:25:27I closed the deal.
00:25:28Fantastic.
00:25:29No.
00:25:30What do you mean no?
00:25:31That's so great.
00:25:32Oh my God, I was so worried.
00:25:33No, now I am saddled with one of Hilton's network of bio spies.
00:25:38His chief scientist is going to come in and she's going to take credit for my work.
00:25:42And all of this will have been for nothing.
00:25:44I will be nothing.
00:25:45My legacy will be nothing.
00:25:47I shall go to the grave without a Nobel.
00:25:49You know, this was my last chance at greatness.
00:25:53God.
00:25:54Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:25:59Hey, come on, you remember Joan Ryan?
00:26:03Huh?
00:26:05Yeah, my nemesis at MIT.
00:26:06That's right.
00:26:07You were convinced that the PhD board was going to pick her over you and you were going to
00:26:13be relegated to just a footnote in the science community or some other science bad thing,
00:26:17right?
00:26:18But what actually happened, Les?
00:26:21They chose me.
00:26:23They chose you.
00:26:25And where's Joan Ryan?
00:26:27Teaching at Berkeley.
00:26:31And where are you?
00:26:32In St. Louis.
00:26:34But why?
00:26:34Oh, uh, to give the finger to those ungrateful pricks at Monsanto and to build the Menlo Park
00:26:41of the Midwest.
00:26:42And how?
00:26:43How?
00:26:43Because I am a partner in my own company creating the bio-agrotech that will change the world.
00:26:48That's right.
00:26:48Yeah.
00:26:49You're going to change the world.
00:26:50Yeah.
00:26:52And you are.
00:26:54I've always believed that.
00:26:56Even when you hated me?
00:26:58Oh.
00:27:00Especially when I hated you.
00:27:02So what do I do?
00:27:04You do what you always do.
00:27:06You get back in the workshop and you figure it out.
00:27:11That's what Les Littlejohn does.
00:27:14Yeah.
00:27:14Right?
00:27:15Yeah.
00:27:16Right.
00:27:17Okay.
00:27:18Okay.
00:27:20Oh, that's it.
00:27:22Thank you, Lily.
00:27:24Thank you for being so understanding.
00:27:27Oh, God.
00:27:29So now I've got to get back in the workshop.
00:27:31And let's move our renewing our vows to next year.
00:27:34That's a fantastic idea.
00:27:35Les, no, I didn't.
00:27:36What?
00:27:37Huh?
00:27:37That's what you said, right?
00:27:39Huh?
00:27:40Did I?
00:27:41Yeah.
00:27:42Gary and Meg.
00:27:43Oh, Gary and Meg would much prefer to go to Cabo.
00:27:45Let's send them something.
00:27:46Sign my name.
00:27:46No, no, no.
00:27:47That will be so humiliating.
00:27:48Don't worry.
00:27:49Don't worry.
00:27:49I'll tell Lulu that she can just go skiing with her friends like she wanted.
00:27:51So I'll see you when I see you.
00:27:53I'll be back when I'm back.
00:27:54And I love you.
00:27:55And I can't wait for New Year.
00:27:57New us next year.
00:28:08Is he fucking kidding me?
00:28:13I'm back when I'm back when I see you.
00:28:38the emotion in your voice.
00:28:39And it's beautiful.
00:28:40I've been hoping for a Christmas miracle.
00:28:42Yeah, I'm going to go to Vermont.
00:28:43I'm going to go to the Grey House.
00:28:45And I, um, could you, could you come with me?
00:28:48Where you finished your masterpiece.
00:28:50I'd be honored to be invited.
00:28:52A gift beyond measure.
00:28:53I have ten vacation days and one personal day bank.
00:28:57Heart emoji.
00:29:00Let's meet at Mandy's Diner at midnight.
00:29:02Heart emoji bag.
00:29:03I'll arrive with joy in my step and a light in my heart.
00:29:06Did you love my present?
00:29:08The fuck?
00:29:09Pardon?
00:29:10Yeah, I didn't have the heart to open it.
00:29:15So, um, I'll just bring it with me, okay?
00:29:18New year.
00:29:19New you.
00:29:20New us.
00:29:21Oh, is Vermont cold?
00:29:43Everybody out in 30 minutes or Hulk is going to see me smash.
00:29:49Iceberg ahead, 30 clicks.
00:29:51Abandoned ship.
00:29:52Lady Tomato about to burst.
00:29:53Hey, hey, hey.
00:29:55Les promised me a minute.
00:29:59I'll give you 20.
00:30:0120.
00:30:0220.
00:30:0620.
00:30:0720.
00:30:1120.
00:30:1120.
00:30:1220.
00:30:1320.
00:30:1520.
00:30:18Excuse me?
00:30:19I thought the boots up my ass might start after the holidays.
00:30:23Martin signed the LOI ASAP and Hilton turned on the money hose in good faith.
00:30:28I didn't sign.
00:30:28I'm a partner.
00:30:29Apparently not the important one.
00:30:32Oh.
00:30:33Well, now I'm inspired and I would like you to leave.
00:30:37A genius needs his space.
00:30:40Exactly.
00:30:41And I plan on being inspired throughout the holidays.
00:30:44I know this is a difficult transition period.
00:30:46I'll give you tonight.
00:30:48But I will be back tomorrow.
00:30:52Boots on the ground, Dr. Littlejohn.
00:30:57Boots on the ground, Dr. Littlejohn.
00:30:58Boots on the ground, Dr. Littlejohn.
00:31:07Boots on the ground, Dr. Littlejohn.
00:31:10Boots on the ground, Dr. Littlejohn.
00:31:11Boots on the ground, Dr. Littlejohn.
00:31:12Boots on the ground, Dr. Littlejohn.
00:31:13Boots on the ground, Dr. Littlejohn.
00:31:18Boots on the ground, Dr. Littlejohn.
00:31:21Boots on the ground, Dr. Littlejohn.
00:31:35Mills, I don't have time.
00:31:39She what?
00:32:02You're old, text me.
00:32:09Fuck you too.
00:32:14Starla?
00:32:25Freezers, off limits, from now on till I say, I need to regroup, where are you going?
00:32:31I'm leaving you.
00:32:33If anyone should be leaving anyone, I should be leaving you.
00:32:35How's that?
00:32:36For trying to sabotage my career, think I don't know, you don't think Nils will call
00:32:40me for comment, Lindy?
00:32:42Scientific American, not TMZ.
00:32:43I'm a hoax, I'm threatened by a female scientist taking credit for my work.
00:32:48You mentioned Joan, I'm not a misogynist, I'm not intentionally, I'm an accidental misogynist
00:32:55and I too blame the patriarchy for that.
00:32:57I never said misogynist.
00:32:59Why would you do this?
00:33:00Why?
00:33:00You know, why?
00:33:03Is it about Gary and Meg?
00:33:05This is about you, and our marriage, and breaking the promise of step three colon, a grand gesture,
00:33:11and our daughter who hates me, sucking the life out of me and my promising writing career.
00:33:17Career?
00:33:18Stop!
00:33:19It was one book in the early aughts!
00:33:22This is what you did, you basically, you turned in a book report on your fucked up family,
00:33:26you changed the names, you added a little bit of wry sarcasm, and then you called a fiction,
00:33:30and you got lucky.
00:33:32Lucky.
00:33:32My rainbow starts with black, no shit.
00:33:35My book report, and the subsequent Oscar-nominated film it's based on, bought and paid for this
00:33:43extravagantly sad McMansion in this podunk red state town you forced us to move to so that
00:33:49you could try to be something other than Mr. Fucking Tomato Head.
00:33:54This is the last thing I need right now.
00:33:55Oh my, I'm so sorry.
00:33:57What is it you need right now?
00:33:59I need you.
00:34:00Yeah.
00:34:01I need your support.
00:34:02This is my last chance.
00:34:04You already got your prize.
00:34:07And, in case you forgot, I was by your side for every fucking sentence.
00:34:12Every book signing, every interview, I held your purse, I held my tongue.
00:34:17You know, I was there for the ride.
00:34:18And it wasn't always pleasant.
00:34:20You know, the rollercoaster of insecurity and emotion was frankly fucking exhausting.
00:34:24I have paid that debt.
00:34:26I have been by your side for 15 years.
00:34:29You had Flavor Saver.
00:34:32And it was insufferable.
00:34:36Still is.
00:34:37But I didn't get my moment in the spotlight like you did.
00:34:40I didn't get my prize.
00:34:42Swing and a miss.
00:34:43How is it my fault?
00:34:46How?
00:34:47My apologies.
00:34:49Forgive me for being ambitious.
00:34:50Coasting by on a one-hit wonder isn't enough for me.
00:34:54Maybe you don't have another hit in you.
00:34:56Huh?
00:34:56Maybe you're one and done.
00:34:58Maybe your ego just won't let you read the room.
00:35:01I would rather be blinded by my ego than paralyzed by fear.
00:35:04That's me?
00:35:04That's what you think of me?
00:35:05Yeah, because you haven't produced one goddamn sentence in 15 years!
00:35:09What kind of magic do you think you're suddenly going to find in your beloved Greyhouse?
00:35:12Huh?
00:35:13With me by your side, like an emotional support animal, encouraging you, keeping you calm,
00:35:18because, quote, I promise we'd return there one day, unquote.
00:35:21I mean, I am through being held emotionally hostage for your creative paralysis.
00:35:28And there it is, everyone!
00:35:30That's our show.
00:35:32Same line every time.
00:35:41This is the top secret thing you've been working on?
00:35:44Give me that.
00:35:45Give me that.
00:35:45A Tonka truck is not going to change the world, let alone agriculture as we know it.
00:35:51You have no idea what you're talking about.
00:35:52Jesus, this is what you said to every female scientist that's ever had a better idea.
00:35:55You know, most men overcompensate with a big truck.
00:35:59It's nice to see yours to scale.
00:36:02Ah!
00:36:03Ah!
00:36:05Ah!
00:36:06Ah!
00:36:07Jesus!
00:36:07What a gentleman!
00:36:09Oh, fuck.
00:36:11What?
00:36:11Oh no, Lindy!
00:36:13What the?
00:36:13What are you doing?
00:36:15What are you doing?
00:36:16What are you doing?
00:36:16Oh no...
00:36:31Oh god, is she dead?
00:36:33Oh.
00:36:39Lindy?
00:36:41Say something.
00:36:42Are you alive?
00:36:44Oh, you're alive!
00:36:46Oh
00:37:26Last
00:37:30Oh
00:37:31Fuck
00:37:32Oh
00:37:36It's on
00:37:37It's on
00:37:45Oh
00:37:46Oh
00:37:59How much did I drink last night?
00:38:03Less
00:38:07Why would you put the plaid back up?
00:38:11God
00:38:11That's my eyes
00:38:13And my head
00:38:18Oh
00:38:19I'll try January starts today
00:38:24Oh
00:38:25Oh wow
00:38:28That really cleaned up
00:38:31Less
00:38:38Who's at the door?
00:38:50What is this nonsense?
00:39:01It's intense
00:39:02No no no no
00:39:02Lindy
00:39:04Everything is fine
00:39:06Don't freak out
00:39:17Lindy
00:39:17Oh! Oh! No!
00:39:20Okay, I'm opening up the dollhouse.
00:39:23Stop screaming at me!
00:39:47There you are!
00:39:49You're okay!
00:39:53I am not okay!
00:39:57Can you hear me? I am not okay!
00:40:06I am not okay!
00:40:08It works! I can hear you!
00:40:10You're too loud!
00:40:12Sorry.
00:40:14Well now I can't hear you!
00:40:15How about now?
00:40:16No! No! Too loud!
00:40:18No!
00:40:19Softer!
00:40:20No!
00:40:21Better!
00:40:22I hate this fucking thing!
00:40:27Can you hear me now?
00:40:29Say again?
00:40:30Can you hear me now?
00:40:31Yes!
00:40:32Oh! Sorry, sorry. I'm so sorry.
00:40:35Are you okay?
00:40:36I'm fine!
00:40:38I heard that.
00:40:38God, I think we got it.
00:40:41Hi!
00:40:42What the fuck, Les?
00:40:45I heard that too.
00:40:46Loud and clear.
00:40:47Okay?
00:40:48Wendy, I'm so sorry.
00:40:49It was an accident.
00:40:50And, uh...
00:40:51I can't believe it even happened.
00:40:53I, I, I...
00:40:54But you're incredible!
00:40:55I mean...
00:40:56You're beautiful!
00:41:01Are you smiling right now?
00:41:04No!
00:41:05No, no, no.
00:41:05No, of course not.
00:41:06I, I just, I...
00:41:09Just like, wow.
00:41:12Wow.
00:41:13Wow.
00:41:14Wow?
00:41:14Wow!
00:41:15No, I apologize.
00:41:16You're my wife and you're not experimentally.
00:41:18I should hope so!
00:41:20I should hope so!
00:41:21Jesus!
00:41:21Oh my God!
00:41:22This is your job?
00:41:24This how you're gonna solve world hunger?
00:41:26You're gonna make everybody tiny so, so they don't, what, eat more?
00:41:30I don't...
00:41:31Uh, do you, do you want me to answer that, or...?
00:41:35Explain it to me!
00:41:36Well, um...
00:41:38It's called cellular reduction.
00:41:40And, um, it's the process of miniaturization and restoration of organic fruit and vegetables.
00:41:46And that's how I plan to solve world hunger.
00:41:50Explain how you're gonna make me big again!
00:41:52Jesus!
00:41:53I don't give a shit how it works!
00:41:55Oh, right.
00:41:55Well, I just reversed the process.
00:41:57That's the restoration part.
00:41:59Great!
00:42:01Restore me!
00:42:03No, please!
00:42:04I can do that.
00:42:05Um, uh, but first, uh, a surprise!
00:42:09Ha!
00:42:09Meet me in the dining room.
00:42:14Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:42:16Les, do I look merry or hungry?
00:42:19Well, it's kinda hard to tell from this distance, um...
00:42:22I'm not!
00:42:23Make me big again, now!
00:42:26Heard that, loud and clear.
00:42:27Um, the thing is...
00:42:29Tell me you can make me big again, Les!
00:42:32I can, and I will.
00:42:33Um, the thing is that it's just...
00:42:35I think it's just gonna take a day, uh, or two.
00:42:39Tops.
00:42:39But, you'll be fine.
00:42:41Everything's gonna be okay.
00:42:42You're healthy.
00:42:43I checked your vitals.
00:42:44Wait!
00:42:44I could die?!
00:42:46Tiny?!
00:42:46No!
00:42:47You're not gonna die, Tiny!
00:42:49Ha!
00:42:50You'll be safe in the dollhouse.
00:42:52Because it's almost exactly the same as our house-house.
00:42:56Um, the stove works.
00:42:58The refrigerator works.
00:43:00There's food.
00:43:01The water runs.
00:43:02And, I shrunk a few of your favorite things to really make you feel at home-home.
00:43:06Your clothes.
00:43:08From your closet.
00:43:10Um, and, uh, this curling thing.
00:43:17And, your hairbrush.
00:43:18Uh, cold cream.
00:43:21Looked important.
00:43:22Oh, and I remembered your coffee.
00:43:24And the coffee maker.
00:43:25Worked perfectly, right?
00:43:27Oh, one crucial thing.
00:43:28Um, the toilet.
00:43:29Uh, it works.
00:43:30I figured it out.
00:43:31Just don't ever look in the hall closet.
00:43:33Downstairs.
00:43:34Ever.
00:43:35You will be restored to regular size.
00:43:37I-I promise it.
00:43:38This is just temporary, Lindy.
00:43:40I am so close.
00:43:41Truly.
00:43:42Now it's so close?!
00:43:45Not a day or two?
00:43:48Tops?!
00:43:48Less?!
00:43:49You motherfuckers!
00:43:52Hey.
00:43:54Calm down.
00:43:57Calm fucking down!
00:44:14Why?
00:44:14I hate all of you!
00:44:18Hey Lindy.
00:44:21I'm gonna need a minute!
00:44:25I don't wanna be little!
00:44:31He's been away!
00:44:42Du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du.
00:44:43Can' we film the ladies' cup too.
00:44:47She's on her way, Robin.
00:44:49She's gone back to her husband.
00:44:50No.
00:44:51They always do.
00:44:52Not this time.
00:44:53They're noob-du-du-du-du.
00:44:54Cuz' we've got plans.
00:44:55Yep!
00:44:56We got concrete plans.
00:45:01How about a 10-day getaway to Vermont for two?
00:45:07Uber romantic.
00:45:15There are multiple reasons you could be late.
00:45:18No, I know Lindy's coming.
00:45:19Why, you may ask?
00:45:21Because our love story is woven into the fabric of time.
00:45:26Destined to be written.
00:45:29Immortalized for generations to come.
00:45:33Quiet, everybody, please.
00:45:34Quiet, please!
00:45:36Sorry.
00:45:38Oh, it's work.
00:45:41Hey, Martin.
00:45:44Well, I was going to head out of town, so...
00:45:48No, no, no, no, no.
00:45:49Of course, of course.
00:45:50I'll just, I'll head into the, into the lab.
00:45:55No, I've not heard from us.
00:45:58Wait, what do you mean you can't get a hold of them?
00:46:02Yeah, okay, bye.
00:46:03Does this mean your romantic getaway is canceled?
00:46:07Martin, can I be honest?
00:46:08I love your service, but I don't love the negative energy.
00:46:15He's suffering.
00:46:21Take those off.
00:46:22I feel like a specimen.
00:46:24And come closer.
00:46:26I don't want to keep yelling.
00:46:30Jesus, the 96?
00:46:33If there was ever a time.
00:46:34I know why you didn't tell me about your work.
00:46:37Well, I couldn't.
00:46:38It was top secret.
00:46:39I signed an ironclad NDA.
00:46:41It's bullshit.
00:46:43You didn't trust me.
00:46:45Which makes me so sad.
00:46:49Makes me so sad.
00:46:52Fuck you.
00:46:53But, yeah.
00:46:59Well, I didn't exactly hide it from you either.
00:47:02What?
00:47:04Happy birthday, Lindy.
00:47:07They are so cute.
00:47:11Wait.
00:47:12And legible?
00:47:14Happy birthday, Lindy.
00:47:16They're so cute.
00:47:19Oh, and functional.
00:47:21Happy birthday, Lindy.
00:47:24How cute.
00:47:26And accurate.
00:47:28The dent from when I sideswiped the mailbox.
00:47:33Never put it together.
00:47:34You also said you didn't want to know.
00:47:40Well, you're not leaving me.
00:47:41Well, I have to go so I can fix you.
00:47:43No, no, no.
00:47:44No, Les.
00:47:45Take me with you.
00:47:46I'm portable.
00:47:47You will be safer here in the dollhouse.
00:47:48I feel very not safe.
00:47:50I feel very small.
00:47:51And like something bad could happen.
00:47:54I won't let something happen.
00:47:55Something did.
00:47:57Something else.
00:47:57Beyond the accident.
00:47:59But I have to go to the lab so I can fix you.
00:48:01Please, Les.
00:48:02I do not want to be alone.
00:48:03Please.
00:48:04I'm scared.
00:48:04Well, what if I can show you that, um, being small isn't scary?
00:48:09Oh, God.
00:48:10I've always wondered what the world would look like if I were six inches tall.
00:48:13Not me.
00:48:15I can show you.
00:48:16No, I, I don't.
00:48:18Aren't you just a little bit curious?
00:48:20I will be restored to regular size soon.
00:48:24I promise.
00:48:25Trust me.
00:48:28I'll be right back.
00:48:32This is crazy.
00:48:34Oh, my God.
00:48:41bubber.
00:48:43Oh, my God.
00:48:48Oh, my God.
00:48:52Oh, my God.
00:48:59Oh, my God.
00:49:01Oh, my God.
00:49:10I can only imagine how different everything looks, right?
00:49:34You see this dust ball?
00:49:37Do you think I can choke on this?
00:49:39Oh, yeah, put that down.
00:49:44Hello, Dolores.
00:49:45Look who it is.
00:49:47See?
00:49:48She's not that scary.
00:49:49Why is she looking at me like that?
00:49:52Oh, oh, it's puffing up.
00:49:53Do you see what it's doing?
00:49:55No, no, no.
00:49:56It's trying to eat me.
00:49:57No, this is not interesting to me.
00:50:00Can you put me down, please?
00:50:01Put me down.
00:50:03Because we will just live in the late Christmas land.
00:50:10A beautiful sight will die.
00:50:15Fun, right?
00:50:16We all love a train ride.
00:50:18Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:21Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:28Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:31Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:36Woo!
00:50:38Merry Christmas to me.
00:50:45Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:49Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:51Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:51Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:51Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:51Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:53Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:54Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:55Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:55Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:57Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:57Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:57Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:57Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:57Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:50:59Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:51:03Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:51:05Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:51:07Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:51:09Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:51:12Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:51:16Merry Christmas, Lindy.
00:51:24Water truck ran out of shrinking gas. I'm going to go to the lab to refuel.
00:51:28What am I supposed to do with this?
00:51:30I thought I could crush it up and you could maybe snort it, but I don't know.
00:51:34Um, Scarface? I'll just gnaw on it or something.
00:51:41How are you feeling?
00:51:43Really?
00:51:44I mean...
00:51:45I know what you mean.
00:51:47I mean...
00:51:48Better.
00:51:50I did always love this couch.
00:52:06When you're ready.
00:52:08Ah, pour away.
00:52:13Don't be shy.
00:52:16So, this is my, uh, tiny little life now?
00:52:22Temporary tiny life.
00:52:23How long again?
00:52:24A day. Two at the most. I'm so close.
00:52:28So close. Yeah. Yeah.
00:52:34Did you microwave this off the floor?
00:52:36Floor is clean. You're the first person to ever walk on it.
00:52:39Six inch tall, Neil fuckin' Armstrong?
00:52:42Kind of.
00:52:51Less you put parmesan in the potatoes.
00:52:54Potatoes a la Diane.
00:52:57With a twist.
00:52:59Who?
00:53:00Reese Witherspoon from Legally Blonde.
00:53:02She's gonna play me in the movie.
00:53:04She's gonna play the sister character.
00:53:06I still don't know who that is. Walt?
00:53:09She's blonde, wears pink, goes to Harvard.
00:53:11That's a stretch.
00:53:12What? I am blonde.
00:53:14Less said that we could be twins.
00:53:16I'm sure he's just being kind.
00:53:18No, no, I think with the right hair and makeup, you know Hollywood, I mean...
00:53:21It's beyond me why they're even adapting a book into a film.
00:53:24Because it sold a million copies?
00:53:27Because it won the Pulitzer.
00:53:28Hollywood must be out of ideas.
00:53:31You're not excited?
00:53:32Uh, Laura Dern is playing the mother.
00:53:34I adore Laura Dern, but I question her judgment.
00:53:37The book wasn't well received.
00:53:39I repeated one Pulitzer.
00:53:41The Guardian dubbed it literary popcorn and added,
00:53:44That does not a Pulitzer make their words.
00:53:46Which she memorized and repeat constantly.
00:53:49I can barely show my face at Wine Club Wednesday
00:53:52without Carol turning her nose up at me as if I were the devil incarnate.
00:53:57Walt?
00:53:57Your mother needs your Wine Club Wednesdays.
00:54:00That's not a stretch.
00:54:01Mom, it's fiction.
00:54:03Carol didn't see a character.
00:54:06Carol saw me, and the me in your book is a monster.
00:54:09It's a comedy.
00:54:10It's a dark comedy.
00:54:11A coming-of-age story about a woman who felt abandoned and silenced
00:54:17by a monster-of-a-mother character.
00:54:20You try being a single mother of two young girls
00:54:25whose husband walked out one day without a word.
00:54:28Walked out or was driven away?
00:54:29Jim abandoned me.
00:54:31No, he stopped being married to you.
00:54:34He abandoned me.
00:54:36Me too.
00:54:37And he's still the hero.
00:54:39I tried my best.
00:54:42Walt?
00:54:42If I may, Walt?
00:54:44Diane, have you tried the potatoes?
00:54:46I call them potatoes a la Diane.
00:54:49With a twist.
00:54:50Is the twist a turn of the knife?
00:54:52It's Parmesan cheese.
00:54:53Try it.
00:55:00It's too rich, but absolutely divine.
00:55:03Just like you.
00:55:09Walt.
00:55:10I'm sorry.
00:55:11I think we should visit the arch tomorrow.
00:55:13I hear it's dreadful.
00:55:16Yes.
00:55:17Yes.
00:55:17You know, I don't get the arch.
00:55:19It's like an arch for what?
00:55:21It's the gateway to the West.
00:55:24I think it's great.
00:55:25I can barely show my face on Wine Club Wednesdays.
00:55:30Hollywood has run out of ideas.
00:55:32I think Laura Dern is a very generous casting.
00:55:34I have to say hello.
00:55:35Hello.
00:55:40What's going on?
00:55:41Do you want to have sex?
00:55:42Oh, yes.
00:55:43Yes, we're here.
00:55:45We'll be quiet.
00:55:46We'll be fine.
00:55:47Oh, you're set to high volume.
00:55:50Watch.
00:55:51Watch, watch, watch.
00:55:54Okay.
00:55:55Okay.
00:55:56Come on.
00:55:57Come on.
00:55:58Come on.
00:55:59Come on.
00:56:03Quick, quick.
00:56:09Come on.
00:56:10Don't defend me.
00:56:12The horse from the mud.
00:56:13The horse defend yourself by the little flag.
00:56:16Ah.
00:56:20Oh, get out of your hand.
00:56:21No, no, no, no.
00:56:24Oh, fuck.
00:56:25Oh, fuck.
00:56:26Oh, fuck.
00:56:26Jesus.
00:56:27Whoa.
00:56:27Can I help you?
00:56:29Obviously, this isn't the washroom.
00:56:31It's down the hall with the light on.
00:56:33The one with the toilet.
00:56:34I can see the light.
00:56:36I lost it.
00:56:41He's trying to escape.
00:56:45It's a yard.
00:56:48Oh, my God.
00:56:50Oh, fuck.
00:56:51Okay, okay.
00:56:53Maybe I can't be quiet.
00:56:55I don't think you can.
00:56:58Hey.
00:57:03I'm not really like her, though, right?
00:57:05My mother, I'm not like Diane, am I?
00:57:09Does that make me Walt?
00:57:12Seriously?
00:57:12Seriously?
00:57:14Seriously?
00:57:14Seriously?
00:57:16No.
00:57:17Fuck no.
00:57:18No, she's unbelievable.
00:57:20And not in a good way.
00:57:24It's going to be okay.
00:57:26It's only a few days.
00:57:31Only a few days.
00:57:38It's only a few days.
00:58:01It's only a few days.
00:58:10What?
00:58:11What?
00:58:12What?
00:58:14It can't be right.
00:58:18Okay, I'm coming in.
00:58:19Now.
00:58:21Now-ish.
00:58:45Magoo.
00:58:49Stand.
00:58:51Stand.
00:58:54Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
00:59:02Come here!
00:59:05Ow, fuck!
00:59:07You fuzzy fucker!
00:59:20Stop!
00:59:22Stop it, you're fine.
00:59:24You're bad enough already.
00:59:29I mean, she's safe, right?
00:59:42Hey!
00:59:47Yes, Richard? What is it?
00:59:49Oh, you seem upset.
00:59:51No, Richard, I'm fine. I'm fine.
00:59:53You know, I sometimes come in my car to cry, too, when I need a release, so I get where
00:59:59you're at.
01:00:00Okay, right. Is that all?
01:00:02Now you've got me worried.
01:00:03Is everything all right at home?
01:00:04You know, with your wife, Lindy. Lindy's her name, right?
01:00:07Yes, Richard.
01:00:07Everything okay?
01:00:08Good, good.
01:00:09Yeah.
01:00:10She's just, uh, keeping busy over the holidays.
01:00:13Yes, Richard, she's at home writing.
01:00:15She's keeping busy.
01:00:16She's writing.
01:00:18That's wonderful.
01:00:19That's wonderful.
01:00:20Richard!
01:00:21Get your butt inside!
01:00:22I'm sorry to use profanity.
01:00:24I'm upset.
01:00:28I'll see you later.
01:00:39Les?
01:00:41Les?
01:00:42Oh!
01:00:47That is a toy.
01:00:59I have to trust him.
01:01:03I cannot spiral.
01:01:06Huh?
01:01:07Oh.
01:01:08Yeah.
01:01:10Why not?
01:01:11Okay, that's it.
01:01:13That's good, space colon.
01:01:15Colon?
01:01:17Colonial.
01:01:19Colonel.
01:01:20Space colonel.
01:01:22Next stop, Uranus.
01:01:24I couldn't...
01:01:25Fuck, I'm already spiraling.
01:01:28You made me believe you were so close.
01:01:30So I believed you.
01:01:32Yes, and you should believe me.
01:01:33That's our deal.
01:01:34There is mathematical truth in stating I am so close.
01:01:37So what does so close mean to you in this context today?
01:01:42I can't put an actual number on it.
01:01:44I don't know.
01:01:46What?
01:01:47Oh.
01:01:48What have you done?
01:01:49What have I done?
01:01:50Martin, I didn't want to say you have one job.
01:01:53Contract is for 30 days.
01:01:56That's insane!
01:01:57Well, you said that you were close!
01:01:5930 days?
01:02:02Well, it will work.
01:02:03I mean, the math says it will and math is never wrong, so...
01:02:07Now you have 30 days!
01:02:09No, no, no.
01:02:09We have 30 days.
01:02:10Oh, now it's we.
01:02:11What does it say exactly?
01:02:12What does the small print say?
01:02:13Exactly.
01:02:14It says that we have 30 days to prove that the restoration formula works.
01:02:19Uh-huh.
01:02:20Or the patent on our tech...
01:02:22On my tech, thank you.
01:02:23...reverts to Hilton, and Hilton sues you.
01:02:26Sues us.
01:02:28For fraud.
01:02:29And you go to jail.
01:02:31To jail?
01:02:32Well, can he do that?
01:02:33He can.
01:02:34And after 30 days, it goes.
01:02:37The tech, the lab, the Bob's gone.
01:02:41But, but, okay, so how do I make, uh, how do I, how do I make things big again?
01:02:49Because I, I have to make things big again.
01:02:51Well, after 30 days, you can't.
01:02:58I mean, can he actually do this?
01:03:01Yes, he can.
01:03:02And it says it right here.
01:03:06Less.
01:03:09How bad is this?
01:03:12Okay.
01:03:17I'm not even going to ask about the cat.
01:03:30Hmm.
01:03:37I got you something for Christmas.
01:03:40Oh, I, I, I didn't get you anything.
01:03:43Oh, that's, that's okay.
01:03:45I didn't want you.
01:03:48Like what Shakespeare used to write with.
01:03:50You know I like Shakespeare?
01:03:52Well, everybody knows you like Shakespeare.
01:03:55Bar's card.
01:03:55Well, you talk about it a lot.
01:03:58Um, you, you seem a little bit down.
01:04:02No, I'm, um, just tired.
01:04:04Yeah.
01:04:05I was waiting up last night for someone, someone special.
01:04:10Oh, you know, you know, and it's just, you know.
01:04:14Oh, Merry, Merry Christmas, Richard.
01:04:16Oh, thank you, Janet.
01:04:18This is a very thoughtful gift.
01:04:24I returneth to thine grind.
01:04:28Oh.
01:04:35Oh, okay.
01:04:37Buddy.
01:04:39Thank you for moving here.
01:04:49Oh.
01:04:54Oh, that's good.
01:04:57Okay.
01:05:02Oh, come on.
01:05:07Okay.
01:05:09Oh, my God.
01:05:14Oh, there we go.
01:05:17Oh, my God.
01:05:22Oh, my God.
01:05:25Come on.
01:05:30Volume.
01:05:33We're never turning this off.
01:05:35Okay, Zach.
01:05:39So, we've got popcorn, but no candy.
01:05:48Oh, that's just for me.
01:05:59Richard, I need everyone at the top of their game today.
01:06:01It's a big day.
01:06:02It could be the day.
01:06:03Needs to be the day.
01:06:04Or two.
01:06:06At the most.
01:06:11Here are my thoughts.
01:06:15Adjust the last line of the Maxwell stress tensor to B sub J.
01:06:19Minus one-half times the quantity of epsilon naught.
01:06:23Times E squared plus B squared over mu naught.
01:06:27Thoughts complete.
01:06:28Bob.
01:06:30Implement his thoughts.
01:06:36B sub J minus one-half times the quantity of epsilon naught times E squared plus B squared
01:06:43over mu naught.
01:06:45Complete.
01:06:47Carl, implement his thoughts.
01:07:00Come.
01:07:01Come.
01:07:02Come.
01:07:29Let's make history.
01:08:01Let's make history.
01:08:28Let's make history.
01:08:59Let's make history.
01:08:59Let's make history.
01:08:59No.
01:09:00No, no, no, no.
01:09:03This is not how we work here.
01:09:05We are making history.
01:09:07Okay?
01:09:07That corn was regular size.
01:09:10It's incredible.
01:09:11As a scientist, how can you not see that?
01:09:13Reports, equipment, results, any spending whatsoever, everything you use must be logged up to and
01:09:19including packets of instant oatmeal in the break room.
01:09:21Can I explain my fiber deficiencies?
01:09:24Okay, everybody, everybody.
01:09:25This is Virginia.
01:09:26Vivian.
01:09:27Vivian.
01:09:27I don't know her last name, but she's new here and she doesn't know how things work.
01:09:31And, Bop, you don't need to worry about your oatmeal.
01:09:33Okay?
01:09:33Can we just talk about this?
01:09:36Martin, you know exactly how much money this science circus is hemorrhaging.
01:09:40I don't care about the money.
01:09:42Of course you don't.
01:09:43You spent seven years and several hundred thousand dollars designing your logo.
01:09:48I had to open the books.
01:09:50Well, it had to be perfect.
01:09:51What?
01:09:52Irresponsible.
01:09:52And deeply sad.
01:09:54Dr. Littlejohn, it's no longer your money.
01:09:56It's Hilton Smith's money.
01:09:57This is his lab now, and I run Hilton's lab.
01:10:00Ergo, I run this lab.
01:10:02This is unacceptable!
01:10:04And it's ridiculous!
01:10:05And do, do something!
01:10:08Okay, no we, no we, just me.
01:10:10I want to talk to Hilton right now!
01:10:13Well, good luck reaching him.
01:10:15He's spending the holidays piloting an experimental submersible off the coast of Guam.
01:10:20Guam?
01:10:21Guam?
01:10:22What?
01:10:23Shut it down.
01:10:24We'll try again tomorrow.
01:10:26Together.
01:10:27These ladders are an OSHA violation.
01:10:30You're an OSHA violation!
01:10:33Dear hairy Jesus!
01:10:35And I hope Hilton gets crushed into ketchup by 400 atmospheres of pressure!
01:10:4029 days.
01:10:41Not helpful.
01:10:42Not the point!
01:10:51What have I done?
01:10:59Midnight for the stars and you.
01:11:06Midnight and a rendezvous.
01:11:12Your eyes held a message tender, saying I surrender all my life.
01:11:22It's my phone.
01:11:25My phone!
01:11:26Oh!
01:11:27Oh!
01:11:30Come here, come here, come here!
01:11:32What?
01:11:44No!
01:11:45No!
01:11:47No!
01:11:49No!
01:11:53No!
01:11:55No!
01:11:56No!
01:11:57Oh!
01:11:58Oh!
01:12:01Oh!
01:12:04Fuck, did you just see something?
01:12:12Am I losing my mind?
01:12:20I can see me in you
01:12:26Do you know
01:12:27What?
01:12:29What is that?
01:12:32Oh fuck
01:12:38I gotta get out of here
01:12:44Oh fuck
01:12:51Jesus
01:12:53God damn it
01:12:56For fuck's sake
01:13:03God dang it
01:13:23God damn it
01:13:48God damn it
01:14:16God damn it
