02:04repair less we need to dig deep to diagnose it does that make sense sure dig dig deep that's right
02:12very good so digging deeper
02:41what's that's what's that's what's that's what's it means your mother created a fantasy child
02:45what's that's my childhood for you she qualified to make these psychological hypotheses hypotheses hypotheses
02:51it's not hypothesis your mother told me what
02:57Nancy told me she was protecting you from your hypercritical, controlling father.
03:03She is misinterpreting my dad's tough love as critical.
03:07Was it Nancy who called it tough love?
03:09Yeah, it was. I believe her.
03:13Delusion.
03:31I mean, he has gone fucking mad.
03:37It's just, he's been at it all night.
03:41It's moving, searching, taping.
03:44Look at that trap. It's ridiculous.
03:49Shrinks my laptop as bait.
03:51Get out of here.
03:56Hey, hey, hey. Yeah, sure. Maybe it's not his best work, but he's obviously worried about you.
04:02Uh, no. He is worried because he can't control me.
04:07Maybe control is his love language.
04:09Maybe that sucks, Richard. I mean, if he catches me, who knows what he'll lock me up in next.
04:15I can see from your point of view how that could suck.
04:17But look, we could easily outsmart that rudimentary trap and just obtain the laptop, send him a little email.
04:24We're not obtaining anything that defeats the purpose.
04:29No, yeah, I know that. Wait, remind me.
04:31We are proving my independence.
04:33We.
04:34Me. I. I. Okay.
04:35I don't need a laptop. I have my phone.
04:38Got it.
04:39So, let's just.
04:41Do you want a little help with that?
04:42I got it.
04:44Ugh.
04:47Oh, whoever Terry is, he or she really wants to get a hold of you.
04:51Ah, yeah. She's my first call.
04:54Your story.
04:55They published it.
04:57No!
04:58No!
04:59No!
05:01Oh, God.
05:03They love you.
05:06Who's they?
05:07Uh, everyone.
05:09What? Everyone?
05:10Like, everyone.
05:12Everyone, look, look, it's just, everyone.
05:16I mean, you know what my mom says, saying I told you so is tacky, but I told you so!
05:22Breathtaking?
05:24Worth waiting for?
05:28Everyone loves me.
05:36You better be sitting in a dark room with the curtains drawn.
05:39I'm viral.
05:40I'm cat person.
05:43Viral?
05:43Me.
05:44I'm viral.
05:44Like a bad flu.
05:45Look, Lindy.
05:46I thought I'd been forgotten.
05:48Discarded.
05:49A has-been.
05:50But it turns out, they were waiting for me.
05:53Patiently.
05:54And they still love me.
05:56Reality check.
05:57You didn't fucking write it.
05:59It's not about the story, but it's about my fans.
06:02And that they love me.
06:03That they still love me.
06:04You're basking in make-believe glory.
06:06This is a ticking time bomb that is going to blow.
06:09Wait a minute.
06:10You...
06:11You told me that you were gonna disarm the bomb.
06:14I tried.
06:16Okay, I-I-I flew Jackie out to New York.
06:18Was out negotiated by Hayseeds.
06:20Had sex with a cowboy in an elevator.
06:23Never got his name.
06:24Oh, my God.
06:25And?
06:26It was wonderful.
06:28It was wonderful.
06:29You need to find him.
06:30Oh, I have to find him.
06:32Hey, uh, Fifty Shades of Pay on the line.
06:34E.L., the assistant.
06:35E.L.
06:36Lindy's nuts.
06:37It's a chef's kiss.
06:38I can hear him.
06:40Lindy, listen to me.
06:42We have a chance to fix this.
06:44We still have plausible deniability.
06:46So just do nothing.
06:48I mean fucking nothing.
06:49Say nothing.
06:50Do you hear me?
06:51Yes.
06:51Do and say nothing.
06:57The, um, Today Show wants an interview.
07:01The Today Show.
07:02The Today Show.
07:04Wants me.
07:05The Today Show wants me.
07:10Wait.
07:13Wait.
07:14No, no.
07:14Look.
07:15On Zoom, you'll be regular size.
07:21Oh, I...
07:23I can't...
07:24Oh, my God.
07:25I...
07:26Okay.
07:27I...
07:27This is not...
07:28I can't really...
07:29I mean, I absolutely cannot...
07:31I...
07:32No.
07:32There's no way.
07:33I'm absolutely not doing The Today Show.
07:35I can't do The Today Show.
07:37Listen, I know, I know, I know you're scared.
07:38I know it's been a minute since you've been the toast of the literary town.
07:41Yes, but...
07:42But this is Jenna.
07:44Jenna?
07:45Pulitzer Prize winner.
07:47Lindy.
07:48Little John.
07:49Okay.
07:50The world, we've waited long enough.
07:52This is your time.
07:55It's my time.
07:56Are you kidding?
07:57This is your time.
07:59It's my time.
08:01I...
08:02Just saying.
08:06Here's the thing, though.
08:08Oh.
08:09Too much talking in the head.
08:12Book it!
08:13We're gonna book it!
08:14Book it!
08:15Ah!
08:17I could have had The Today Show!
08:19Today Show!
08:22Okay.
08:22Okay.
08:23Okay.
08:24Excited, excited.
08:25Wait.
08:25Bad news.
08:26The phone is out of battery.
08:27That...
08:29Um...
08:29Why didn't you get the charger?
08:41Just a thought.
08:42Don't kill the messenger.
08:43How about...
08:45When you say laptop, we're not getting a laptop.
08:48No, no, no.
08:49We are going to go get the charger
08:51because the charger equals independence.
09:00He should have used a more sensitive trigger.
09:02You need to let it go, Richie.
09:04We're not going for the laptop.
09:06Liz!
09:07We got to hide.
09:08Huh?
09:09The couch.
09:10Get off.
09:11Oh, wait for me.
09:12Wait for me.
09:16Let's...
09:22Let's...
09:23Let's...
09:24It's okay.
09:25It's okay, dear.
09:26It's me.
09:27It's Mom.
09:29Oh.
09:30Are you having a nervous breakdown?
09:35It's okay, Ifyar.
09:37I could call Lindy.
09:39What?
09:42You're in the wrong zone!
09:44You've got to be in the less zone.
09:45This do not walk outside the less zone.
09:47Less?
09:47Yes, keep your voice down.
09:49Let me check your shoes.
09:50Oh, God.
09:51Oh, good.
09:52Oh, good.
09:52She's not there.
09:53She's not there.
09:54Less, less, less, less.
09:55Yeah.
09:56I am very worried about you.
09:58No, Mom, I'm fine.
09:59I'm fine.
09:59I'm okay.
09:59I'm good.
10:00I'm good.
10:01I'm just...
10:01I've been remodeling the house for Lindy as a surprise.
10:05Oh.
10:06Yeah.
10:06Yeah, yeah.
10:07And I'm worried about you.
10:09Being up here, it's dangerous.
10:10So we should go...
10:11We should go downstairs.
10:11Come on, come on.
10:12Yeah.
10:13I think you are unwill.
10:15No, it's fine.
10:15It's the fumes.
10:16It's the fumes from the floor.
10:18That's the whole thing.
10:19What?
10:19So...
10:20All right.
10:20Okay.
10:21So we're on the move.
10:23And then we're gonna go downstairs in the less zone.
10:27No, you've got to stay.
10:28You must...
10:28Mom, you've got to stay in the less zone.
10:30Oh, in the less zone.
10:30Yeah.
10:31Okay.
10:31See?
10:32We're good.
10:32See?
10:33The less zone.
10:34That's it.
10:34Down we go.
10:35We're going down.
10:36Okay, we've got to move.
10:38Richard!
10:39Huh, yeah.
10:41You know, I, uh...
10:45I miss my mom.
10:49Yeah, less...
10:50Less has a really good mom.
10:52You know?
10:53Nancy, uh...
10:54She shielded him from reality too much.
10:56And also from his dad, though, who was...
10:59Wow.
11:00But Nancy, no, she's a...
11:02Yeah, she's a mom-mom.
11:04Kinda always wished I had imagined...
11:08What would I be like if I...
11:12Did have...
11:13Hmm.
11:15I think I need a minute.
11:17Yeah.
11:18Yeah, we can...
11:20We can take a minute.
11:28Okay, Mom.
11:28So, you know, we agreed last night with a change of plans, and Magoo's with Lindy, and I'm...
11:33I'm working, and Lulu's here at home, but she's in and out, and she's doing her thing,
11:38that, you know, you should... you should probably just... you should go home.
11:41Okay?
11:42Okay?
11:43Less.
11:44Yeah.
11:45I don't believe you.
11:46Which part?
11:47Every part, dear.
11:49I'm acting perfectly normal!
11:51The last-minute remodeling?
11:53Oh!
11:54The fumes that I did not smell?
11:56The less zone?
11:58Lindy's disappearance?
11:59Lindy's disappearance?
12:00That's a little date line.
12:01The husband was the last one to see her.
12:03She's at the gray house, Mom!
12:06Okay?
12:07Other than that, I do not see my behavior as bizarre.
12:09I am working really hard.
12:11I am very stressed out.
12:13And I'm not sleeping very well.
12:16But I'm fine, Mom.
12:17I'm fine.
12:18Okay?
12:19You're fine.
12:20Sure, dear.
12:21When you're ready to talk, I'm right here.
12:24We talked!
12:25And I'm good.
12:26But it is too dangerous for you here, okay?
12:29I promise that I will stay downstairs, away from these fumes.
12:34But I am not leaving until I know you're okay.
12:37One last thing.
12:39When was the last time you showered, dear?
12:47Okay.
12:48Let's get that charger.
12:49Now you just have to scale the vertical surface using the floss like a rock climber would a rope.
12:55And just all the way up.
12:57I can't do one pull-up, Richie.
13:00But you have the power of the square cube law behind you.
13:04See, why even pause?
13:06Just explain.
13:07Simple math.
13:09As our size decreased, our proportional strength, that increased.
13:13It's like, um, ants.
13:15I fucking hate ants.
13:17Yes, but ant math is never wrong.
13:19Okay, well, you're tiny, too, so you do it.
13:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:22But this is your independence.
13:26Math is freedom.
13:28Freedom is independence.
13:29Go.
13:33Right.
13:36It's gonna...
13:38Yeah, it's not gonna...
13:39What are you doing?
13:41I'm conjuring my inner freedom math.
13:44This is exciting.
13:47Should we hide?
13:48No, no, no.
13:49I'm walking through the foyer in the less zone.
13:51I'm leaving for the lab, but I'd still love to hear from you.
13:54Wait, wait.
13:57Now I've opened the front door.
13:59Martin.
13:59You never answer your phone.
14:01Martin.
14:02We're in the clear.
14:03He's never letting Martin in here.
14:04Yeah, but Mom.
14:05Mom, Mom, Mom.
14:05Mom is in the basement, and she's a rule follower.
14:07She'll stay there.
14:08It's Lulu.
14:10We don't have eyes on Lulu, so...
14:13Tick-tock.
14:14You gotta help me.
14:15Oh, yeah, I'm gonna help you.
14:26Oh, yeah, I'm gonna help you.
15:01Intense.
15:07I remember the moment I discovered my mother was a liar.
15:11Too intense.
15:12You're too intense.
15:14You.
15:16Me.
15:18Why?
15:20Roommate.
15:22Well...
15:23Sure.
15:24Stop.
15:25What?
15:25You suck.
15:26You probably suck more.
15:28Okay, so I was a dick.
15:30Sorry.
15:31You didn't insult me.
15:32Oh, you don't go to Forest Park?
15:33No, I do.
15:35I just don't give a fuck about what you think.
15:38Who's Wendy Pressick?
15:43Wendy?
15:43Wendy?
15:44What?
15:44Yeah, she left a pretty hefty bar tab last night.
15:48She sounds like a good time.
15:49You both had whiskey sacks.
15:52You both had whiskey sacks.
15:52She paid for your tab, but then left her credit card.
15:56Huh.
15:57Okay, why don't you just fucking say it?
15:59Credit card fraud.
16:05So, what is this?
16:06Is this a shirtless citizen's arrest?
16:11No badge.
16:13Nowhere to pin it.
16:14I'm only asking.
16:16Only you asking?
16:18Only me.
16:19Good.
16:20It's a stupid question anyway.
16:32Okay, I'm gonna go.
16:35Well, happy reading, Wendy.
16:41You ran out saying someone could be dead.
16:43Yeah, Wendy, Wendy's having a hard time.
16:46She's sick?
16:47No, she's unwell.
16:48Oh, well, look, I am happy to stay with Wendy.
16:52No, she's at the Grey House.
16:53But you rushed home.
16:55She left this morning because she's emotionally unwell.
16:58Oh, right.
16:59Yeah.
17:00Should she be alone?
17:01No, Gary and Meg are nearby.
17:03It's a lot, Martin.
17:04It's a lot to keep in my head, okay?
17:05Yeah, yeah.
17:06Quack for less, herbal tea for Martin.
17:09Bob?
17:11Oh, fuck.
17:13Another quad for Les?
17:17Is that Mills?
17:19Bob?
17:20Bob?
17:20Bob?
17:20I love you, buddy.
17:22I love you.
17:27I love you.
17:27I love you.
17:37I love you.
17:37Go, go, go!
17:38Yes!
17:45Keep going!
17:54Almost there.
17:59Yes!
18:00You did it!
18:01Oh, I love math!
18:05I know, right?
18:06It's like, it's never wrong.
18:09And the charger?
18:10On it!
18:31Big smile.
18:33Ready, ready, and...
18:35Okay, all right.
18:37Ready?
18:37Ready, ready, ready?
18:39Three, two, one...
18:41Merry Christmas!
18:43A dollhouse!
18:45It's just like our house!
18:46Yeah, Daddy's been working on this for months.
18:48Well, it was Mommy's idea.
18:50Well, I knew you liked the one Steffi had.
18:53This is way better than Steffi.
18:55And look, the lights work, see?
18:57Whoa!
18:58Wait, wait, who do we have here?
18:59Me, and you.
19:01Oh, where's Daddy?
19:02He's at work.
19:03Yeah, arguing with the mean people from Monsanto and the Organic Produce Alliance.
19:08Mommy's at home.
19:10Oh, yes, but Mommy is in her office working.
19:15No, but Mommy's watching TV.
19:18No, Mommy is at her desk writing.
19:22No, she's watching TV.
19:34I am the architect of my own prison.
19:41Not anymore.
19:51Okay.
19:53You got the sound.
20:00Ah!
20:01Ah!
20:02Ah!
20:02Ah!
20:02Lindy!
20:02You, you all right?
20:04Yeah!
20:05Ah!
20:06Ah!
20:07Ah!
20:13Ah!
20:14Ah!
20:20Ah!
20:22Ah!
20:23Ah!
20:25Ah!
20:27Ah!
20:29Ah!
20:30Ah!
20:31Ah!
20:33Ah!
20:33Ah!
20:33Ah!
20:33Ah!
20:34Ah!
20:35Ah!
20:36Ah!
20:38Grandma.
20:39Oh, you are a sight, dear.
20:43I'm hungover, Grandma.
20:45And I'm not the legal drinking age.
20:47Do you hate me?
20:49Never, dear. I appreciate your honesty.
20:52Don't lose that quality.
20:53Yeah, I think I was a little too honest last night.
20:56Well, booze will do that.
20:59I'm so glad you're here.
21:01I don't even know or care why.
21:03Crossed wires with your dad.
21:05Have you told him fuck science yet?
21:10Your words.
21:11Or that you flunked out of college.
21:15Sounds worse when you say it.
21:17Is that not accurate?
21:20No, it's just...
21:23Fuck.
21:25What do you got there?
21:26Oh, Mom's book.
21:29Apparently, I'm just like her.
21:31Well, I take that as a compliment.
21:34I don't think that's how she meant it.
21:36I think you'll be surprised.
21:50Morning, Bob.
21:53Oh, I didn't see you.
21:54But I saw you.
21:57Neal's.
21:58Lattes.
21:59Plural.
22:01I can explain.
22:02Yes, you can.
22:03And you will.
22:04I know you can't help yourself, Bob.
22:07Technically speaking,
22:08I did not break the conditions stipulated in my NDA.
22:11I answer questions solely related to my brother-in-law
22:14and his experiences at MedBot.
22:16Then why are you so nervous, Bob?
22:19My brother-in-law alleges that once Hilton's company
22:21became the primary investor,
22:23they illegally acquired his tech.
22:25Illegally acquired?
22:28Oh, you know,
22:29as per my attorney,
22:30I must qualify allegedly.
22:31Hilton's legal chicanery is airtight.
22:34And I mean airtight.
22:35How did Hilton illegally acquire
22:37your brother-in-law's tech, Bob?
22:40Well, they closed ranks.
22:41I had my brother-in-law removed.
22:43Allegedly.
22:46Gentlemen.
22:47We didn't see you.
22:48We need to talk.
22:50Really?
22:50Not you.
22:51Less you.
22:52It's important.
23:02Okay.
23:03The Today Show.
23:05I need to make a new first impression tomorrow morning.
23:11What?
23:14Okay, for your information,
23:15I gave Jackie Baldwin extensive notes.
23:19No one would even care about the story
23:21if it didn't have my name on it.
23:23Less took everything from me.
23:25Look at me.
23:25I'm, I could be six inches tall forever.
23:28So I need this.
23:29I need this one thing.
23:31I tried.
23:32Okay?
23:33Writing is hard.
23:34And the pressure on a second book
23:37after winning the...
23:38I mean, it's paralyzing.
23:40I'm on my own.
23:45I need you to tell me it's okay.
23:49Please.
23:52Tell me...
23:54I'm independent.
23:57Tell me it's my turn.
23:59Tell me...
24:01It's mine.
24:04Me.
24:05Me.
24:06The Bordeaux.
24:09How's the second book coming?
24:12It's not.
24:13But it will.
24:14Do you remember how much Gary and I struggled
24:16when we were first starting the artisanal vitamin business?
24:19It was...
24:19Oh, like nine and a half months
24:21before we made a single sale?
24:23Nine and a half months
24:24before we made a single sale.
24:26Yeah, but look at this now.
24:27Barely able to keep up with domain.
24:29Yeah.
24:29And it is absolutely going to be the same for you.
24:33Same for you?
24:34No, it's not.
24:36It's not the same at all.
24:38It's absolutely not the same at all.
24:43How is little Lulu?
24:45Oh, yes.
24:46How was her Christmas?
24:47Oh, we knocked her out of the park.
24:49Best parents ever.
24:50Show them the pictures.
24:52Oh, yeah.
24:52You should see this dollhouse.
24:54Oh, well, there she is.
24:56Huh?
24:57Amazing.
24:57What a sweetie.
24:59What a sweetie.
25:00So, Les, what have you been working on these days?
25:02I mean, R.I.P. GMO Tomato.
25:04Oh, yeah.
25:05R.I.P. GMO Tomato.
25:07But it did bring you success, though.
25:09You know, it did bring you some success.
25:11Well, I do have a little germ of an idea,
25:14which I'm pretty excited about.
25:17You do?
25:18Yeah, it's early days,
25:20but I think I can say confidently
25:22that it does have the potential to change the world.
25:25It has the potential to change the world.
25:27I like the sound of that.
25:28I like the sound of that, too.
25:30But, honey, it's my turn.
25:32Remember?
25:34Well, actually, it's still my turn, sweetheart.
25:39I do remember.
25:40Sorry, we don't.
25:42What is the turn saying?
25:44Oh, well, we take turns supporting each other.
25:46So he supported me through my first book,
25:48and I supported him through the first tomato,
25:50and now it's my turn again.
25:52He needs to support me for the second book.
25:54See, turns.
25:55No, because your turn won you the Pulitzer,
25:58and my turn is yet to win me the Nobel.
26:01The Nobel.
26:03I mean, honey.
26:05Are you fucking joking?
26:07Honey.
26:07Not at all.
26:08I'm not at all.
26:09For the Nobel, I mean, that could be never.
26:13That's how turns work, right?
26:15That's...
26:16Your turn ended with the tomato
26:19that put you on the science map,
26:21but then went splat,
26:22followed by your imminent termination from Monsanto,
26:24followed by our housekeeper finding him naked,
26:27crying on the bed.
26:28Oh.
26:30Depression.
26:31It's a bitch.
26:33Mm, yeah.
26:35Oh, you know what?
26:36Should we take a visit to the Arch?
26:38Ooh.
26:39The Arch.
26:40The Arch.
26:42How dare you tell Gary and Meg
26:44about my naked crying, huh?
26:46That was me at my most vulnerable.
26:48That was a secret between us.
26:49How dare you tell them
26:51your germ of an idea before me,
26:53especially one that's got me trapped in St. Louis,
26:55and it's your turn until you win
26:57the Nobel, that's new.
26:59Not everyone, Lindy,
27:01lucks into their prize on the first try.
27:03Luck?
27:03You know what I mean.
27:05I think I do.
27:09Point is,
27:10how can I trust you
27:11if you're gonna expose me like that?
27:13Don't trust me, then.
27:14Just don't tell me anything
27:15ever again.
27:16Fine, I won't.
27:16Good, me too.
27:17Great, secrets from now on.
27:19Secrets.
27:19We need a secret.
27:20Love a secret.
27:23But it is my turn.
27:31It's my fucking turn.
27:33It's my fucking turn.
27:36It's my fucking turn.
27:38It's my fucking turn.
27:41It's my fucking turn.
27:44My fucking turn.
27:50I can't take any more bad cat news.
28:02So is this behavior normal?
28:04I don't know how to feel.
28:05You should feel good.
28:05Really?
28:07Mr. Magoo has diabetes.
28:09I stabilized his blood sugar
28:11and he's going to be fine.
28:12So the seizures have nothing to do
28:14with miniaturization.
28:14Completely unrelated.
28:15So she's going to live.
28:17I mean, he.
28:17He.
28:18He's going to live.
28:19There is more good news.
28:20Look.
28:26That is a sample of Mr. Magoo's muscle tissue.
28:29The rapid expansion process
28:31might cause fragmentation in the atomic bonds,
28:33leaving them too fragile to hold.
28:38So we need to...
28:41We need to slow the reaction.
28:44To allow the nuclei time.
28:46To form stronger bonds.
28:48Stronger bonds are fundamental
28:49in the expansion of any fragile connection
28:52or alliance.
28:55Oh, I agree.
29:03We need a neutron moderator.
29:13V.
29:14The bar.
29:17Equals V naught.
29:19That is the exponential of.
29:21Negative R.
29:23Divided by lambda.
29:25Let's see if you keep going.
29:27H hat equals negative H bar squared
29:31over, over, over, over,
29:35two times the mass of the nucleus
29:38times the location operator.
29:41And V multiplied by R.
29:44Yes?
29:45Oh, God, God.
29:46This is what I've been missing.
29:51We should check the math.
30:03Mom is a good writer.
30:06Like, good.
30:08Well, she won an award, dear.
30:10I know, but I didn't know, no.
30:13Like, look, the book is really funny,
30:16but it's also deeply sad.
30:19Grandma, it's making me...
30:22There's just so much I'm connecting
30:26about Mom, Grandma Diane, me.
30:31It's like...
30:32I might need to rethink my thoughts.
30:36You're coming of age reading about
30:38your mom coming of age.
30:41That's deep, Grandma.
30:57Grandma, turn on channel five.
31:02We are talking to Pulitzer Prize
31:04winning author Lindy Littlejohn
31:05about her sensational new short story
31:07Untitled On Purpose.
31:09What?
31:10Lindy looks terrific.
31:13Lindy, could you possibly have expected
31:14the reaction to be anything like this?
31:16Oh, Jenna, I...
31:18Nothing about this experience
31:20is what I expected.
31:22The story is just...
31:23Mom wrote something?
31:24I always knew she would.
31:26Sit down.
31:26Did you know you were writing
31:28something so provocative?
31:29You know, everything I write
31:30provokes someone.
31:32Right, Jenna?
31:34Very true.
31:35Yeah.
31:35You famously fictionalized
31:37your difficult relationship
31:38with your mother
31:39and My Rainbow Starts With Black,
31:41one of my all-time favorite books.
31:44Oh, thank you.
31:45I've got to ask you,
31:46did you base this story
31:47on your real life, too?
31:48So the book is true.
31:50You know, Jenna,
31:50I just think everyone
31:51does their best writing
31:52when they're not worried
31:53what other people think.
31:55That's The Office.
31:56Upstairs?
31:58I thought she was
31:58at the Grey House.
32:00So did I.
32:02Lindy Littlejohn,
32:02thank you so much
32:03for being here.
32:04Oh, thank you, Jenna.
32:05It's been wonderful
32:06talking to you.
32:07Please turn this story
32:08into a book.
32:09I'll think about it.
32:10Okay, bye-bye.
32:19I killed it!
32:21Ha-ha!
32:23You have to write the book.
32:25Oh, my God,
32:26I feel like I have
32:26another chance.
32:27I could write something.
32:29I could write something great.
32:30You already have.
32:31Yes, Les supported me,
32:32but I wrote.
32:34I am a writer!
32:36Right?
32:36I'm here.
32:37I can support you.
32:38I feel like me again.
32:39Richie, this is...
32:41Ah!
32:42Like, where have I been,
32:44you know?
32:44Like, I've been here
32:45the whole time,
32:46and it's like I forgot.
32:48I forgot.
32:49I was right here.
32:53I'm a writer.
32:56Wait, are you crying?
32:58No.
32:59You're a little.
33:01Me too.
33:16Mom?
33:18Mom?
34:00By Jackie Baldwin?
34:03What the fuck?
34:26Yes.
34:28Were you here all night?
34:29Oh, shit. Lindy. Wait, what time is it?
34:32Oh, okay.
34:33So you're new.
34:35So everything's okay now?
34:36Yeah.
34:37Yeah.
34:38I admit, there's a little something between us, but nothing happened.
34:41We had a breakthrough.
34:42Oh.
34:42Well, she looked great on the Today Show.
34:44Vivian?
34:45Lindy.
34:46Lindy?
34:48Vivian.
34:48Who's on what?
34:50Lindy was on the Today Show this morning.
34:54How did she...
34:56What did she look like?
34:57What?
34:58What?
34:58What?
34:59What?
35:22Lindy.
35:28Lindy?
35:34Lindy?
35:35Lindy?
35:37Lindy?
35:37Lindy, where are you?
35:38Right here, Les.
35:41And I can take care of myself.
35:45Yeah, clearly, you're on the fucking Today Show.
35:48I'm worried, sick, I'm working all night, and poof, you're writing again?
35:51You're a viral sensation?
35:52Who knew?
35:53Poof, I'm six inches tall.
35:55Who knew?
35:56Not me.
35:57Keeping secrets was your idea.
36:00I think you're taking that to the extreme.
36:02I think you're taking that to the extreme.
36:04You're delusional.
36:05You're delusional.
36:08I can't lose you, Lindy.
36:10No more traps, Les.
36:12Lindy?
36:13Is that you?
36:17Mom!
36:18Dad?
36:21What's going on?
36:23Oh my God, Grandma.
36:25Is she dead?
36:26No, she just fainted.
36:27Quickly, run to the pharmacy, get some bromides.
36:30What the fuck are bromides?
36:31I...
36:32Google it!
36:33She's having one of her spells.
36:34Grandma has spells?
36:35Yes!
36:36She's...
36:36She's old!
36:37Hurry up!
36:38Hurry, hurry, hurry!
36:42Mom!
36:46Okay, Mom.
36:47Okay, Mom.
36:48Okay, Mom.
36:49Here we go.
36:49Mom?
36:51Mom, it's okay.
36:53Hey, Mom.
36:55Hey, Mom.
36:58Hey.
36:59Hey.
37:00Hey, it's okay.
37:01You just fainted.
37:04I saw...
37:04I saw...
37:04I saw her.
37:06Saw who, Mom?
37:08Lindy.
37:10She...
37:11She was so small.
37:12Yeah, Lindy's not here.
37:13Remember, Mom?
37:15I saw her.
37:16Like...
37:17Like a little doll.
37:18She was...
37:18She was like a real-life little Lindy doll.
37:22I think you mean one of Lulu's little dolls, Mom.
37:23No, no.
37:24No.
37:24I know what I saw, and I...
37:26Yeah?
37:26I saw her on...
37:28On TV, too.
37:29No.
37:30Lulu?
37:31No, no.
37:31Lulu's not here either, Mom.
37:33Lulu's not here.
37:34I think you're a little confused.
37:35No, Mom.
37:35I'm not confused.
37:36Yeah.
37:36You're lying to me.
37:38I am your mother.
37:40Tell me the truth.
37:41Okay.
37:41Okay.
37:43Um...
37:43Ah, come on.
37:44Come on.
37:44Sit down.
37:45Come on.
37:46What?
37:46Just sit, sit.
37:48So, um...
37:48Okay, so, um...
37:50Okay, so this is...
37:52This is hard.
37:53What?
37:54This is hard, but the truth...
37:56Yeah?
37:58The truth is...
38:01Um...
38:02That I put a painkiller in your tea, and hallucinations are a side effect, so there is no tiny Lindy.
38:08You what?
38:09Yeah.
38:09Why?
38:10When?
38:11Because of your back.
38:13Because I know it's been bothering you, and I wanted you to relax, and...
38:16Yeah.
38:16You...
38:17You drugged me?
38:19What kind of son drugs his own mother?
38:23Concerned son, huh?
38:25No.
38:25No, no, no.
38:26You're not sorry.
38:27You are manipulating and controlling and a liar, and you are without a doubt your father's
38:33son, which breaks my fucking heart.
38:36What?
38:37Oh.
38:37Whoa!
38:38What?
38:38What?
38:39I failed.
38:40I'm...
38:40I'm guilty.
38:41I...
38:42I tried.
38:42I tried to protect you from this.
38:45From...
38:45From what?
38:46From becoming your father.
38:48My...
38:49Well, I...
38:50I'd say you overdid it.
38:52Huh?
38:52Because I was invisible.
38:53Huh?
38:54And I still am.
38:55Yeah, that's what fucking drives me, and that's fine.
38:58But Dad is a kind and fair...
39:01An asshole who keeps me on a tight leash.
39:05But I have made my peace with that.
39:09And my marriage is not your marriage.
39:12Whatever you have done to Lindy, and I mean whatever you have done to her, she is not
39:18me.
39:19She needs to be off the leash.
39:20She needs to be free out of anyone's control.
39:23Now, I don't know what you are hiding, but you are not remodeling.
39:28And if you are lying to me, I'd bet the farm you are lying to her and yourself.
39:33Mom.
39:34Mom, I love you.
39:36No, no.
39:37You love you.
39:39What is it your Dr. Carmichael says?
39:41Dig deep.
39:42If I were you, I'd start digging deeper than you've ever dug before.
39:46Find the truth.
39:48Keep on lying.
39:49Keep on burying.
39:50And you will lose her, if you haven't already.
39:55She was going to leave me.
39:56It was an accident.
39:57No, there are no accidents.
40:00Isn't that a chapter in your doctor's book?
40:04Tell her.
40:06Tell her what you did.
40:08Tell Lindy everything.
40:11Because until you are honest, you are fucked, dear.
40:32And that's the complete and honest truth of it.
40:37And I love you, Lindy.
40:40Lindy.
40:41And I need you, Lindy.
40:44And I miss you.
41:02What's wrong, Look?
41:06Where is Grandma?
41:14she left
41:17this isn't about grandma is it
41:22mom left you
41:29she left us didn't she
41:41I'm trying to hear you and see you and be honest with you
41:45if you're ever going to forgive me and the truth is
41:49the truth is that I was scared you were going to leave me
41:53and I didn't want to lose you and so
42:00I miniaturized you
42:03on purpose I did it
42:07and that's the complete and honest truth
42:09I miniaturized you
42:12on purpose
42:13I did it
