02:00bad drapes and broken chairs i know everything isn't perfect but look closer there's more there
02:04is yeah what about the 162 bottle dual zone fully stocked wine fridge and i bet you just walked right
02:09by the total body massage chair that a former investor gifted martin that i miniaturized it martin
02:12didn't want it no no he's electric to touch but the doll house started as kind of just miniature
02:17research and i got carried away i don't know that's my heart is it's racing you know am i am

03:06yeah i have food
03:09oh my god
03:26have you ever thought about miniaturizing a human being jesus jolly christ are you nuts
03:31vivian has got this place on lockdown and you want to shrinky dink chunky public it was just a
03:35question okay wait well here's a question we have 28 days before we lose our shirt so can you

03:51likely be hundreds of animal trials maybe thousands and realistically of course animal trials yeah yeah
03:58what was i thinking you'd be scared there for a minute martin i would never minister the human
04:01being without say using i don't know cats or some other animal as a test case first that would be
04:05insane yeah negligent even you're my rock where would i be without you high school physics teacher
04:16you're in my office it was unlocked well should be i unlocked it why i wanted to make sure you

12:44one semester down seven to go unless you graduate early like me love dad
12:55in the name of science these protocols must end no no no i cannot do my work with these protocols
13:04in place how can you not see that i see a frustrated employee
13:12i'm also just a scientist standing in front of another scientist asking her if she really believes
13:20these protocols are more important than changing the world who you remember the feeling of being
13:25so close to a breakthrough on the precipice of something monumental when the only thing that
13:29matters is the work you don't you don't eat you don't sleep you don't see your family what family
13:33it's just the work it's the it's the science it's the math it's the vision come on you feel it
13:39too
13:39you know i'm going to crack this wide open and change the world so join me
13:42as partners not corporate versus labor but scientist to scientist let's make history together
13:50partners partners
13:54is that a cat what no i hear everything i see everything i can even
13:59smell everything dr little john show me show you in the name of science show me
14:06it was the last unauthorized experiment i swear i don't even know what i was thinking
14:17i do you're thinking bigger than fruit and vegetables dr little john yeah am i i don't
14:21usually underestimate men oh well yes i am i am going to have to confiscate her is that necessary
14:26she's now company property she's a he mr magoo you named him how wonderful
14:39i would consider lifting a few of the protocols should certain missing lab equipment and chemicals
14:44find their way back to the lab asap uh-huh one water truck one remote control two animal cases yeah
14:48i
14:48did hear something about that let me see what i can do he's so warm he is warm

16:23For the vows? At the Greyhouse?
16:24Oh yes, of course, the vows. Yeah, yeah.
16:27Where's Mom?
16:27Oh, Lulu, it's so good to see you. It's so good to see you.
16:30So how was the last semester and your finals?
16:32Good, good. Fantastic.
16:34Good. Yeah, it runs in the genes. You love science.
16:37Um, hey, some weird guy from your lab came here.
16:40What? Who?
16:41Richard.
16:41Why?
16:42I don't even think he knew.
16:43Oh, well, he's harmless. He's not dumb, but he's a good scientist.
16:46Dad.
16:46Dad, you're being really weird.
16:48I am?
16:49We've been hugging for like five minutes.
16:50Sorry, I'm happy to see you. The work's being crazy.
16:53Speaking of crazy, where's Mom?
16:57We're gonna get a bit of water from the kitchen.
16:58We're in the kitchen.
16:59The deeper kitchen.
17:01So I think Mom has had...
17:04An emotional breakdown.
17:05No, no, no. Shh.
17:06She's done.
17:07Oh, is she upstairs?
17:08Yeah, yeah.
17:08No, no, she's not.
17:09Yeah, she's...
17:10Your mom has gone to the Greyhouse.
17:13Yeah.
17:13Okay.
17:14So Hurricane Lindy is tracking for these...
17:16What can I do with you?
17:17Don't say that.
17:17I don't know what you're fucking about.
17:18She's gotta be like at least a five.
17:19Am I right?
17:20Oh, these phrases you're using, that's not a nice thing to say at all.
17:25What's with the dollhouse?
17:26Huh?
17:26What's that tube for?
17:27Well, I'm cleaning it because I wanted to decorate it for the holidays.
17:29Like festive.
17:29You're still shrinking things for the dollhouse?
17:31Oh, fuck.
17:31Let me see.
17:32Oh, no.
17:33Oh, God.
17:33Dad.
17:34Yeah.
17:34What?
17:35Are you okay?
17:35Yeah, I'm okay.
17:36I'm fine.
17:36But you...
17:36I think you should rest.
17:38You gotta rest.
17:39You gotta rest, honey.
17:39Because you've been traveling from college and there's a lot.
17:41And you know what?
17:42I'm gonna fill your fridge downstairs with so much good stuff that you won't even feel
17:45the need to come upstairs.
17:46And better still, I'm gonna give you my card so you can just get what you want.
17:49That's all good.
17:50I knew it.
17:51I'm the villain.
17:54Yeah.
17:56Fuck that.
17:57Stick to the plan.
17:59That's my ride.
18:03Shit.
18:04Yeah, it's good.
18:05Right.
18:06Get me Deborah.
18:07At New York or not?
18:08Right now, what I said, get her.
18:09Okay, so two words.
18:10George Saunders.
18:12Two more.
18:12Get her.
18:18I've got Deborah.
18:22Deborah, hi.
18:23The happiest of holidays to you and yours.
18:25Absolutely not.
18:26Oh, hear me out.
18:27This isn't about me.
18:28I, um, I didn't submit Lindy's story visibly my, uh, misstep regarding Mr. Saunders.
18:33And allow me to sincerely apologize once again for besmirching the New Yorker's reputation
18:37in the process.
18:37Uh, my humble request comes at the behest of the author, who has a few minor tweaks and
18:42would love to hold off publishing until a later date.
18:44I heard a rumor you may be getting your own publishing imprint.
18:47If there's anyone that you think I should meet, say the word.
18:49Oh, quite the opposite.
18:51Vis-a-vis your humble request, fuck right off.
18:55Hey, so that was brutal.
18:57Get me David Remnick.
18:57Oh God, I've gone over Deborah's head.
18:59Can't wait.
19:00Okay.
19:03I got David.
19:05David Remnick, my old pal.
19:07Happiest of holidays to you and yours.
19:09Yeah, it's Deborah.
19:10Nice try.
19:11Fuck off.
19:12So out.
19:18Wendy?
19:21Wendy?
19:23Wendy?
19:23Wendy?
19:36Wendy?
20:04What the fuck?
20:07I'm so weird.
20:20Please.
20:22Richard, here are my...
20:23Were you at my house earlier?
20:24Um, no, I was in the neighborhood.
20:27Stop, stop.
20:27I don't care.
20:28Don't do it again.
20:29Reset.
20:30Richard, here are my thoughts.
20:31The regrowth reaction has become too exothermic,
20:33and so we have introduced solid ammonium nitrate into the solution to control the temperature.
20:37Two aqueous, ammonium, and nitrate ions.
20:41Thoughts complete.
20:41Bob's implement is thoughts.
20:42NH4, NO3 solid added to form NH4 positive and NO3 negative ions.
20:47Complete.
20:48Bob's implement is thoughts.
20:58Complete.
21:06Let's make history.
21:07Let's make history.
21:23Hey, big.
21:27Five seconds.
21:31Ten seconds.
21:36I knew it.
21:37You can do it.
21:39Fifteen seconds.
21:42Twenty seconds.
21:50Two seconds.
21:54Help.
21:56I'll have you, my popcorn.
21:58Oh, my God.
22:00A significant success.
22:01Subject expanded to regular size for 30.8 seconds.
22:04An increase of 28.7 seconds.
22:07Huge progress in the name of science.
22:09Richard.
22:10Oh, Bob the explainer.
22:14I sound like it came from in there.
22:16So good.
22:22Let me.
22:23You fucking liar!
22:26Um, maybe we should give him some privacy.
22:30I found it 30 seconds and explode!
22:32Oh, you don't know what you saw!
22:33I'm so close, my tiny fucking ass!
22:35I've never let you explode.
22:36Fuck you!
22:37No, no, let me.
22:39I'm getting close now!
22:42You can't keep me prisoner!
22:44I'm not a fucking lab rat!
22:45Listen to me.
22:45No, never!
22:47I want to tell the world what you've done to me!
22:49No!
22:50I don't trust you.
22:51How long until you can fix me?
22:54For real, I need the truth!
23:00I don't know.
23:02You don't know.
23:04That's the truth.
23:05You can't say when!
23:06It could be tomorrow.
23:07But it could be weeks, months, or...
23:09Never!
23:10No, not never.
23:11My theory is sound.
23:12I just need to figure out the math.
23:14And I know it must have looked like a disaster, but I'm making really good progress.
23:17You know, yesterday was two seconds, today was over 30.
23:19I'm scared.
23:20Is this my new life?
23:22No, it's temporary.
23:23I promise.
23:25I want to trust you, but I can't.
23:28In a minute!
23:29We'll just go.
23:30Okay, well, I'm gonna need you to get in my desk drawer to hide.
23:33My height, my autonomy, and now my dignity.
23:36Please.
23:37I'm gonna need something, too.
23:38Anything.
23:39Stop locking me in the dollhouse.
23:40Well, that's for your safety, but fine.
23:41Lose the cameras.
23:43Yeah, I know you're spying on me.
23:44Also for your safety.
23:45And I'm not spying on you.
23:46There's no audio on them in a series of daily chickens.
23:48Oh, like a mental patient.
23:49Like a loving husband with a miniature wife.
23:51Fine.
23:52But then I need a working laptop and toothpaste that I like, and my lipstick.
23:57My favorite lipstick's in my purse.
23:59Coming!
24:00Ah!
24:00Sorry, sorry, sorry.
24:02Yes, yes, fine.
24:03Deal.
24:04Make a list.
24:08Love you.
24:10Fuck you, too.
24:31Oh, God.
24:35I'm home.
24:37Terry.
24:39Come on.
24:41Oh, for God.
24:42Shit.
24:43Come on.
24:47Okay.
25:01Is she dead?
25:02What?
25:02Who?
25:03Is who dead?
25:04Lindy?
25:04You thought I died?
25:06That's the only reason Lise would call me.
25:07You sounded...
25:08Scared.
25:09I was.
25:09Oh, that means the world to me.
25:11I have no idea.
25:12Ah.
25:13Wait, how do you think I died?
25:14What were you imagining?
25:16Throw yourself in front of a bus in order to avoid a career-ending plagiarism scandal.
25:19Uh-huh.
25:20Yeah, but you're gonna fix that.
25:21Lindy, I tried.
25:22Tried, period.
25:23That sounds very defeatist.
25:24That's not you.
25:25Come on.
25:26I really, really, really, really need it.
25:28I hate to say it, but this isn't my fucking problem.
25:29Your ex-emotional whatever fuck.
25:31I'm about to get my own imprint.
25:33I cannot be associated with this shit.
25:35What about our friendship?
25:36Is this friendship?
25:37Or business?
25:37Both.
25:38Well, that's...
25:39That's the problem, isn't it?
25:40The lines have blurred.
25:42And we haven't conducted business in 15 years.
25:45Look, Lindy, I love you.
25:47I always will, but...
25:48What?
25:49You're toxic.
25:51It doesn't matter who sent the story into The New Yorker.
25:53It's out there.
25:54And if it's out there and you have to deny it, you're toxic.
25:59I see.
26:00Well, then by that logic, if I were to put it out there that you knew about the story and
26:05encouraged me to submit it anyway, and then you had to deny it, you're toxic.
26:10But you wasn't.
26:11No.
26:12Not if it's friendship, but if it's just business.
26:17I'll keep you posted, friend.
26:18Oh, thank you, friend.
26:23Oliver!
26:24Your friendship is so toxic.
26:24I love it.
26:25Get me Jackie fucking bull in my fucking office fucking tomorrow.
26:27Thank you, God.
26:28Conclusions.
26:29The regrowth process induced excessive molecular tension surpassing substructural limits of
26:32plant cells.
26:33This tension compounded by a sudden and extreme rise in temperature triggered a chain reaction.
26:37This is key.
26:38Oh?
26:38It's me!
26:39I've been miniaturized!
26:40I'm in the laboratory.
26:41I'm in Les's death store.
26:42He's taking me home to a dollhouse!
26:43Help me!
26:44Bang!
26:45And so...
26:45Wait, what?
26:45Recommend...
26:46Richard!
26:46What?
26:47What?
26:47What a personal call.
26:48Hang up!
26:49No, right, no!
26:50Come get me!
26:50I'm in the door!
26:51I'm in the door!
26:51Open the...
26:51The top...
26:52Hello?
26:54Apologies.
26:54It was, um...
26:55It was my mother.
26:56It's just a tiny issue.
26:59Recommendations.
27:00Immediate suspension of regrowth experiments involving compound X-44.
27:03Do we read?
27:09Do you think you'll tell your daughter about me?
27:12Lindy.
27:12You wouldn't want Hurricane Lindy blowing through your special bond.
27:15What was it?
27:16Category five?
27:17What category is shrinking your wife to six inches tall?
27:19It was five, yeah.
27:21I'm very sorry.
27:23What is the matter now, anyway?
27:25I think it would traumatize her.
27:28I think she'd blame me.
27:30I should probably move the dollhouse.
27:32My prison.
27:33Within my prison.
27:34You know, uh, Dr. Carmichael says...
27:37Fuck that bitch!
27:38Whoa, Lindy!
27:39That is a red light reaction.
27:40Can we please try to achieve a yellow light on the road to a green light response?
27:48Silence is the silent killer of a relationship.
27:52I will take my foot off the brake, and although I may sit here quietly, it's not silence.
27:57I feel that we have achieved a yellow light, and we'll proceed with caution.
28:01As Dr. Carmichael says, why don't we revisit us in the morning?
28:07I, as half of us, agree.
28:14Well, this, um, this is the GMO tomato that stands for Genetically Modified Organism.
28:18And, um, this GMO tomato really has the power to, uh, revolutionize agriculture and food production as we know it.
28:23The GMO tomato, um, is disease and pest resistant.
28:26Um, it has a longer shelf life, it has enhanced nutrition, and it reduces the need for fertilizers.
28:29So, win, win, win, win, win!
28:31Ha! Ha! Ha!
28:32Smells good, too.
28:42Sam, incarcerated.
28:44Bill, grandpa, Warren, great-grandpa, Jeff, gross.
28:58That's not how you spell Littlejohn, Mr. Magoo.
29:17At least he gets out.
29:20Will you help me?
29:41This is gonna be your last of us.
29:43Big dumb green light, baby.
29:50Richie?
29:52Uh, wait, are you real?
29:54I come bearing me, my love.
29:57Elise.
29:59Richie!
30:02This place
30:05is dead to me.
30:13That's my daughter.
30:20Richie?
30:20Oh, my God.
30:22Oh, my God.
30:23I, I, I, I can't believe it.
30:24I just, oh, my God.
30:26Wait, you, you shrunk yourself?
30:27I did.
30:28I have so many questions.
30:29I have all the answers.
30:30Oh, God, I'm so relieved.
30:31I'm excited.
30:32It's, ow.
30:33What is that?
30:33Oh, you'll get used to that.
30:34That is loud.
30:34Shh, that's less.
30:35That's less?
30:35Yeah, he's walking around.
30:36What?
30:37Shh.
30:37That is nice.
30:37You need to hide.
30:38Get in the closet.
30:38Oh, that says do not enter, ever.
30:40No, we're not.
30:40It's fine.
30:41Hurry, hurry, hurry.
30:41It smells really bad, isn't it?
30:43Okay.
30:49Good morning.
30:50Morning.
30:51Coffee and a chat?
30:52Yeah, sure.
31:00Oh.
31:02Is this really necessary?
31:03I just want you to be safe.
31:04Anything can happen.
31:05Okay, enough with that already.
31:07Wait, that was a red light reaction.
31:09My green light response is, I appreciate your concern.
31:14And my green light response is, I know the circumstances are not ideal, and I am truly,
31:19truly sorry about that.
31:20Oh, the red lipstick.
31:23And toothpaste.
31:26Oh, but I will miniaturize them when I can.
31:29But I did get a travel size of toothpaste, so it's a little bit smaller.
31:31And Hilton has these new protocols, so I will find a workaround.
31:35Oh, and about Lulu, I thought a lot about what you said last night, and I will speak
31:39to her.
31:39About the accident, about me.
31:40About Hurricane Lindy.
31:41It's inappropriate, and it's hurtful.
31:44I appreciate that.
31:45About you and the accident, I do think that our current situation would traumatize her.
31:50And sadly, I could see her blaming you if not handled properly, and so I would like
31:53to propose accessing Dr. Carmichael's marital toolbox and employing the UPF tool.
31:58Do you agree?
31:59I agree.
32:00One condition.
32:01Oh, I'm open and I'm present.
32:02We stick to the definition of United Parental Front.
32:05No backdoor deals.
32:06That was once.
32:07I apologized, and I have grown.
32:09Fine.
32:14This is kind of nice, isn't it?
32:16Yeah.
32:17Except for the tiny elephant in the room.
32:19Fair enough.
32:19And I promise I didn't forget about the laptop.
32:21It's just...
32:21New investor, new protocols.
32:22Got it.
32:23No problem.
32:29Bye!
32:33Oh, is he gone?
32:34Wait.
32:36And?
32:37Okay.
32:38We're clear.
32:39Did not go in there.
32:39There are cameras, though, but if we have time, he takes a while before he checks them.
32:43Let's go.
32:45I should change.
32:48Um...
32:48How did you get up here?
32:50I'll show you.
32:55Richie!
32:55Oh, I could cry.
32:57Hidden stairs?
32:58You...
32:58You built this?
32:59Well, you know.
33:00I have a degree in engineering, too.
33:02Of course you do.
33:04Oh!
33:10Follow me.
33:14Freedom!
33:15Oh, you're a genius, Richie.
33:16Well, I actually am, yeah.
33:17But there's more.
33:18More?
33:18But I love stairs!
33:21What?
33:22Uh-huh.
33:23What is this?
33:24So we can get where we're going fast.
33:25I brought Desdemona.
33:26Where's Desi taking us?
33:27All the way.
33:34You thought of everything.
33:35And I brought everything.
33:37Everything?
33:39Every.
33:39Thing.
33:40Wait, how did you get past the new protocols?
33:42I don't know.
33:42Maybe I'm a badass.
33:44Yeah, maybe you are.
33:45Come on, Desdemona.
33:46Give me a little more.
33:55In my sleep dreams last night, I had an epiphany.
33:57It's the middle of the night, and I wake up to find a gun pointed to my head.
34:01The assailant has one question, and I must answer correctly, or he'll pull the trigger.
34:04And the question is, how do you, me, overcome 30 seconds to fragmentation?
34:11Isolation.
34:12Isolation?
34:13Isolation, Janet.
34:13It's Janet.
34:14That's what I said.
34:14Oh, um, yes, Janet.
34:16Now, if we think of the equi-
34:16Where's Richard?
34:17Um, he's taking a mini-signed sabbatical to care for a loved one.
34:20I don't understand that sentence.
34:21He's not here today, nor will he be here tomorrow.
34:23He's absent for an indeterminate amount of time, and his loved one has recovered.
34:26Can you do that?
34:26According to the protocol manual, yes.
34:28Who's the loved one?
34:29Company policy precludes disclosure of said loved one.
34:30I reject that.
34:31I need Richard.
34:32I could be your new Richard.
34:34Temporarily.
34:36Reset.
34:37Where was I, Richard?
34:38Uh, Janet?
34:38Isolation.
34:39Yes.
34:39So if we think of the equation as a chain, we can posit that a single counterproductive
34:43link would be responsible for the regrowth and stability.
34:45So we find that counterproductive link, we isolate it, and we proceed from there.
34:49In the principle of last action, let us change epsilon to delta and a partial T to partial
34:54D.
34:55Oh, maybe not H hat.
34:56Try four pi epsilon naught.
34:58Try five pi epsilon naught.
35:01No, no, no.
35:02Seven.
35:03Okay.
35:03You know what?
35:04Make it a hundred!
35:07Good.
35:07I've got your attention.
35:08Uh, allow me to introduce myself.
35:09I'm, uh, your new boss, Hilton Smith.
35:11You know me from the world.
35:13Pretty active out there.
35:14Uh, listen.
35:15I just have one question for each and every one of you.
35:17Who's hungry?
35:19Yeah, yeah.
35:20Got you.
35:20Got you.
35:20Yep.
35:21Over there.
35:21This guy seems smart.
35:22Hilton, good to see you.
35:23We break for lunch in half an hour.
35:24Oh, yeah.
35:25But I've had In-N-Out burgers flown in from California.
35:27In half an hour?
35:28That sounds great.
35:28Uh.
35:29No one wants a cold burger.
35:32We are on a very tight schedule in my lab.
35:33Every millisecond counts, as you can see,
35:34from the recently installed doomsday clock looming over us.
35:36That's not a clock.
35:38That's me.
35:39Looming over everything that's mine.
35:41This lab, you, these people.
35:42Every millisecond belongs to me.
35:44So I get to decide what to do with it.
35:45And right now, it's burger time.
35:51Fine.
35:52We'll break now, and we'll return ten minutes early.
35:54Okay?
35:55Great!
35:56You hit everyone?
35:56Come on!

42:12but
42:15in the name of science
42:16he looks happy
42:18is that your scientific assessment
42:19yeah observation is foundational
42:21so beyond observation how's he doing
42:22strong vitals
42:23good appetite
42:24clean fluids
42:24solid feces
42:25what more could one ask for

55:57Oh, did you guys know that her mom wrote
55:59My Brain Ghost Starts With Black?
56:01That's your mom?
56:02We read it in class.
56:04Your mom's childhood. The dinner table. Wow.
56:06The class was narcissism fiction, and we know it's fiction.
56:09There's a lot of truth in fiction.
56:10Is your mom capable of showing you any kind of affection at all?
56:13What the fuck kind of question is that?
56:14It's so defensive.
56:15Not tracks.
56:16Hey, mic drop.
56:17Hey.

56:58I'm a little worried.
56:59MSU, what are you talking about?
57:00Oh, we need to get you some water.
57:02What it was done was just stuff in the place.
57:03Was your mom even capable of showing any actual affection?
57:07Funny.
57:08She's drunk.
57:09Steph, I'm gonna go.
57:10I'll see you after the new year.

57:32Your mom's a trigger, but...
57:33Wait, wait, though.
57:33Is that like your professional opinion?
57:35Wow.
