16:36Yeah, Daddy's been working on this for months.
16:38That was Mommy's idea.
16:40Well, I knew you liked the one Steffi had.
16:42This is way better than Steffi.
16:45And look, the lights work, see?
16:46Whoa!
16:48Wait, wait, who do we have here?
16:49Me and you.
16:50Oh, where's Daddy?
16:52He's at work.
16:52Yeah, arguing with the mean people from Monsanto and the Organic Produce Alliance.
16:57Mommy's at home.
16:58Oh, oh yes, but Mommy is in her office working.
17:03No, but Mommy's watching TV.
17:07No, Mommy is at her desk writing.
17:11No, she's watching TV.
17:22I am the architect of my own prison.
17:28Not anymore.
17:38Okay.
17:40You got this.
17:48Lindy!
17:49You all right?
17:50Yeah!
17:53Whew!
18:06laay!
18:09Oh shit!
18:11I know.
18:12I'm fine.
18:22Grandma!
18:23Oh you are a sight, dear.
18:26Oh, oh!
18:27Oh, you are a sight, dear.
18:28I'm hungover grandma and I'm not the legal drinking age. Do you hate me?
18:33Never dear. I appreciate your honesty. Don't lose that quality.
18:37Yeah, I think I was a little too honest last night.
18:40Well, booze will do that.
18:43I'm so glad you're here. I don't even know or care why.
18:46I crossed wires with your dad. Have you told him fuck science yet?
18:52Grandma!
18:53Your words. Or that you flocked out of college.
18:58Sounds worse when you say it.
19:00Is that not accurate?
19:02No, it's just...
19:06Fuck.
19:07What do you got there?
19:09Oh, mom's book.
19:11Apparently I'm just like her.
19:13Well, I take that as a compliment.
19:16I don't think that's how she meant it.
19:18I think you'll be surprised.
19:31Good morning, Bob.
19:34I didn't see you.
19:35But I saw you.
19:39Kneels. Lattes. Plural.
19:41I can explain.
19:43Yes, you can. And you will. I know you can help yourself, Bob.
19:48Technically speaking, I did not break the conditions stipulated in my NDA.
19:51I answered questions solely related to my brother-in-law and his experiences at MedBot.
19:56Then why are you so nervous, Bob?
19:59My brother-in-law alleges that once Hilton's company became the primary investor,
20:03they illegally acquired his tech.
20:05Illegally acquired?
20:07Well, you know, as per my attorney, I must qualify, allegedly, Hilton's legal chicanery is airtight.
20:13And I mean airtight.
20:15How did Hilton illegally acquire your brother-in-law's tech, Bob?
20:19Well, they closed ranks. I had my brother-in-law removed. Allegedly.
20:25Gentlemen.
20:26We didn't see you.
20:27We need to talk.
20:28Hmm?
20:29Not you. Less you.
20:30It's important.
20:40Okay. But today's show, I need to make a new first impression tomorrow morning.
20:48What?
20:51Okay. For your information, I gave Jackie Baldwin extensive notes.
20:56No one would even care about the story if it didn't have my name on it.
21:00Less took everything from me.
21:01Look at me. I could be six inches tall forever.
21:04So I need this. I need this one thing.
21:07I tried. Okay?
21:10Writing is hard.
21:11And the pressure on a second book after winning the...
21:14It's paralyzing.
21:16I'm on my own.
21:21I need you to tell me it's okay.
21:25Please.
21:28Tell me...
21:29I'm independent.
21:32Tell me it's my turn.
21:35Tell me...
21:37It's mine.
21:38Me.
21:40Me.
21:41The Bordeaux.
21:43How's the second book coming?
21:47It's not.
21:48But it will.
21:48Do you remember how much Gary and I struggled when we were first starting the artisanal vitamin business?
21:53It was...
21:54Oh, like nine and a half months before we made a single sale?
21:57Nine and a half months before we made a single sale.
22:00Yeah, but look at us now.
22:01Barely able to keep up with the man.
22:03Yeah.
22:03And it is absolutely going to be the same for you.
22:06Same for you?
22:07No, it's not.
22:09It's not the same at all.
22:12It's absolutely not the same at all.
22:16How is little Lulu?
22:18Oh, yes.
22:18How was her Christmas?
22:20Oh, we knocked her out.
22:21All right.
22:22Best parents ever.
22:23Show them.
22:23Show them the pictures.
22:24Oh, yeah.
22:25You should see this tall house.
22:26Oh.
22:27Oh, there she is.
22:28Oh.
22:29That's amazing.
22:30What a sweetie.
22:31What a sweetie.
22:32So, Les, what have you been working on these days?
22:34I mean, RIP GMO Tomato.
22:36Oh, yeah.
22:37Yeah.
22:37RIP GMO Tomato.
22:39But it did bring you success, though.
22:40You know, it did bring you some success.
22:43Well, I do have a little germ of an idea, which I'm pretty excited about.
22:48Ooh.
22:49You do?
22:50Yeah.
22:50It's early days, but I think I can say confidently that it does have the potential to change the
22:55world.
22:56Has the potential to change the world?
22:58I like the sound of that.
22:59I like the sound of that, too.
23:01But, honey, it's my turn.
23:03Remember?
23:05Well, actually, it's still my turn, sweetheart.
23:09I do remember.
23:10Sorry, we don't.
23:12What is the turn saying?
23:14Oh, well, we take turns supporting each other.
23:16So, he supported me through my first book, and I supported him through the first tomato,
23:20and now it's my turn again.
23:22He needs to support me for the second book.
23:24See?
23:24Turns.
23:25No, because your turn won you the Pulitzer, and my turn is yet to win me the Nobel.
23:31The Nobel.
23:32I mean, honey.
23:34Are you fucking joking?
23:36Honey.
23:36Not at all.
23:37I'm not at all.
23:38But the Nobel, I mean, that could be never.
23:41That's how turns work, right?
23:44That's...
23:44Your turn ended with the tomato that put you on the science map, but then went flat,
23:50followed by your imminent termination from Monsanto, followed by our housekeeper finding
23:54him naked, crying on the bed.
23:56Oh.
23:58Depression.
23:59That's a bitch.
24:01That's a bitch.
24:01Yeah.
24:03Oh, you know what?
24:04Should we take a visit to the arch?
24:06Ooh.
24:07The arch.
24:08The arch.
24:09How dare you tell Gary and Meg about my naked crying?
24:13Huh?
24:14That was me at my most vulnerable.
24:15That was the secret between us.
24:16How dare you tell them you're germ of an idea before me?
24:20Especially one that's got me trapped in St. Louis.
24:22And it's your turn until you win the Nobel.
24:25That's new.
24:26Not everyone, Lindy, lucks into their prize on the first try.
24:29Luck?
24:30You know what I mean.
24:31I think I do.
24:35Point is, how can I trust you if you're going to expose me like that?
24:39Don't trust me then.
24:40Just don't tell me anything ever again.
24:42I won't.
24:42Good.
24:43Me too.
24:43Great. Secrets from now on.
24:44Secrets.
24:45It's being a secret.
24:46Love a secret!
24:49But it is my turn.
24:56My fucking turn.
24:58It's not my turn.
24:59It's my fucking turn.
25:06It's my fucking turn.
25:09My fucking turn.
25:14I can't take any more bad cat news.
25:26So is this behavior normal?
25:27I don't know how to feel.
25:28You should feel good.
25:29Really?
25:30Mr. Magoo has diabetes.
25:33I stabilized his blood sugar and he's going to be fine.
25:35So the seizures have nothing to do with menstruization?
25:37Completely unrelated.
25:38So she's going to live.
25:40I mean he.
25:40He.
25:41He's going to live.
25:41There's more good news.
25:43Look.
25:49That is a sample of Mr. Magoo's muscle tissue.
25:51The rapid expansion process might cause fragmentation in the atomic bonds,
25:55leaving them too fragile to hold.
26:00So we need to...
26:03We need to slow the reaction.
26:06To allow the nuclei time.
26:07To form stronger bonds.
26:09Stronger bonds are fundamental in the expansion of any fragile connection or alliance.
26:16Oh, I agree.
26:23We need a neutron moderator.
26:25We need a neutron moderator.
26:33We need a neutron moderator.
26:40Negative r.
26:43Divided by...
26:44Lambda.
26:45Lambda.
26:45Let's see if I keep going.
26:47H hat equals...
26:49Negative h bar squared...
26:51Stop.
26:52Over...
26:52Over...
26:53Over...
26:54Two times the mass of the nucleus.
26:56Uh...
26:57Times the location operator.
26:59Yes.
26:59Um...
27:00And...
27:01What is that?
27:01V multiplied by r.
27:03Yes?
27:03Oh, God.
27:05God.
27:05This is what I've been missing.
27:10We should, uh...
27:11Check them out.
27:21Mom...
27:21Is a good writer.
27:24Like...
27:25Good.
27:25Well, she won an award, dear.
27:27I know, but I didn't know, no.
27:30Like, look.
27:31The book...
27:32Is really funny.
27:34But...
27:34It's also deeply sad.
27:36Grandma, it's making me...
27:40There's just...
27:40So much...
27:42I'm connecting...
27:43About Mom...
27:45Grandma Diane...
27:46Me...
27:48It's like...
27:50I might need to rethink my thoughts.
27:52You're coming of age.
27:53Reading about...
27:54Your mom...
27:55Coming of age.
27:57That's deep, Grandma.
28:13Grandma, turn on channel 5.
28:17We are talking to Pulitzer Prize winning author Lindy Littlejohn about her sensational new short story, Untitled On Purpose.
28:24What?
28:25Lindy looks terrific.
28:27Lindy, could you possibly have expected the reaction to be anything like this?
28:31Oh, Jenna, I...
28:32Nothing about this experience is what I expected.
28:35The story is just so...
28:37Mom wrote something?
28:38I always knew she would.
28:40Did you know you were writing something so provocative?
28:43You know, everything I write provokes someone.
28:46Right, Jenna?

28:56favorite books.
