09:21No one wants a cold burger.
09:24We are on a very tight schedule in my lab.
09:26Every millisecond counts, as you can see,
09:28from the recently installed doomsday clock looming over us.
09:31That's not a clock.
09:34That's me looming over everything that's mine.
09:37This lab, you, these people.
09:40Every millisecond belongs to me.
09:42So I get to decide what to do with it.
09:44And right now, it's burger time.
09:52Fine.
09:54We'll break now, and we'll return ten minutes early.
09:57Okay?
09:58Great!
09:59You hear it, everyone?
10:00Come on!
10:01Let's go!
10:02Burger time!
10:03Let's go!
10:04Science!
10:05Science!
10:05You need to put some food in your mouth so science can come over your brain.
10:09Oh, hey!
10:10I got animal style for you, Austin, Les.
10:13My suggestion, eat every last bite of your burger.
10:21Let's go!
10:22Science!
10:23Let's go!
10:24Science!
10:24Let's go!
10:26Science!
10:26Put some food in your mouth!
10:35Lulu?
10:40Steffi!
10:40I'm going to pull over.
10:46Hi!
10:47How are you?
10:48They still let you work there?
10:50Oh, yeah.
10:51New management, and I don't steal as much, so.
10:53Oh, right.
10:54I mean, I steal a little bit, but it's, uh, I got to keep this job now that I'm, like,
10:57a serious college student.
10:58You're in college?
11:00Don't act so surprised.
11:02Sorry, I didn't.
11:02No, it's fine.
11:03I, uh, I go to Forest Park Community College.
11:08It's, uh, I...
11:09Oh!
11:11Yeah, great.
11:12So what are you studying?
11:13Psychology.
11:14Uh, got to help people out with their bullshit.
11:17You going to start with yours?
11:21Um, how's, uh...
11:22Good.
11:23Made it through finals.
11:24You know, it's so weird seeing you.
11:26My mom was just asking about you.
11:29She always liked you, you know?
11:30Yeah.
11:33Um, what did she say?
11:35Oh, you know, she just asked why we stopped hanging out.
11:37Oh.
11:38What did you say?
11:39I told her you turned into an asshole.
11:42Hmm.
11:42Funny.
11:43I wasn't kidding.
11:44Okay, yeah, I get it.
11:46Okay, you, you fit in, I didn't.
11:48I think you didn't want to fit in.
11:50I think you wanted to be an asshole.
11:52Easy there, Psych 101.
11:53I'm just saying, I remember, you know?
11:55Like, before.
11:57Before?
11:57Before you decided you want to get the fuck out of here.
12:00We used to laugh.
12:04A lot.
12:10Mr. Jones?
12:17Mrs. Barnes?
12:22Okay, well, it was good to see you.
12:24What are you doing tonight?
12:25I know the door guy at Krabby Pete's.
12:27No ID necessary.
12:28Well, who's going to be there?
12:31Oh, everyone you shut out during high school.
12:34Hmm, a warm room.
12:36Hard pass.
12:37Come meet my college friends.
12:39They don't know you.
12:40Clean slate.
12:42You could, guess, have fun.
12:46Or I could...
12:47Ugh, feel miserable?
12:50Yeah, but isn't that, like, your vibe?
12:54You know it.
12:57Good to see you cracking a smile.
12:59Sardonically.
13:00Right, yeah, I'll text you.
13:02Bye!
13:20Is this how you got in?
13:25What is all this?
13:26I recreated our first milestone date.
13:30The bistro at WashU.
13:32The campus square.
13:34The snowflakes.
13:35The place that you said you were your happiest.
13:37Sorry, what is going on right now?
13:39Oh, okay, I forgot one thing.
13:41Ooh!
13:44Richie, how did you get in the house?
13:46Oh, I watched a YouTube video on how to pick locks.
13:50You can learn, like, anything on YouTube.
13:52Like, anything.
13:59Oh, shit.
14:01Shit.
14:02Just freeze!
14:23Okay, that was a good idea.
14:29Run!
14:29No, come on, run!
14:30What?
14:31Oh, gee!
14:32Shit.
14:33No, no, no!
14:34Close the door!
14:35Close the door!
14:38Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:41I know.
14:48I present Jackie Baldwin.
14:50Hi.
14:51Hi.
14:51Take a seat.
14:52Miss Leland, the flight was just heavenly.
14:57Oh, you've got a little taste of first class.
15:00Oh, Miss Leland.
15:02Oh, Terry.
15:04Whoa, I'm sweating.
15:06Miss Leland, would you, um, I'm sorry, would you mind pinching me so I know I'm not dreaming?
15:10This is crazy.
15:12Let me just a little squeeze.
15:18See, Jackie, this is real.
15:22I'm real.
15:23The, uh, the six-figure book deal I'm offering is very real.
15:27Oh, my goodness, Professor Littlejohn sending me to you is just...
15:33Too real.
15:34I mean, Miss Leland, how do I even begin to thank her?
15:38Well, I should be thanking her for sending you to me.
15:41Lindy is a once-in-a-generation writer, a voice that cuts through the noise.
15:45A book editor gets one of those, if she's lucky.
15:47And here I am, starting one of my second.
15:50You are just one signature away, I'm adding your name to my own imprint.
16:00Oh, sorry.
16:08Okay.
16:14You know, Terry, I should probably have my lawyer look at this first.
16:21You have a lawyer?
16:23Mm-hmm.
16:24She's close by.
16:25How close?
16:26Because I, uh, I do need to be getting back to it.
16:29She's in the hall, loitering.
16:31Well, I'm sure you have a minute for a once-in-a-generation writer.
16:35You're a quick study.
16:37Uh, I unleash hell.
16:39No punchline.
16:40You got my text.
16:41Sure did.
16:43Terry, meet hell.
16:45I'm her lawyer.
16:46And her cousin.
16:49Once removed.
16:51Oh, you might want to check your phone.
17:01Oh, I see.
17:04Looks like we both have a Google alert for Professor Will, John.
17:10Okay, here it is.
17:12Buried.
17:13An NDA.
17:14Good thing I know where to look.
17:18We're not total rooms.
17:21Excuse me, I just need to use the restroom.
17:23I won't be a moment.
17:27The old heave-ho.
17:28Elevator-restaur-all.
17:30Elevator.
17:49Tough day.
17:50Merci.
18:21Je ne sais pas ce que je vais dire.
18:23Je me dis.
18:23C'était de merde.
18:24C'est encore mon lab.
18:26Je suis le scientifique.
18:28Follow-moi.
18:53Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
19:20Strong vitals, good appetite, clean fluids, solid feces.
19:24What more could one ask for?
19:25Also noted increased speed and sensitive hearing.
19:30Interesting, but not harmful.
19:32Quite the opposite.
19:33Happy, as you've observed, is accurate.
19:38Don't waste your energy on Hilton's antics.
19:41Think of him like an overbearing father with a sense of humor akin to pull my finger.
19:45There is no pleasing him, and he can only please himself.
19:51I have been told that, um, an overbearing father figure is the trigger for me.
19:57A scientist who's been to therapy.
20:00Since we're getting personal, I have no, um, I have no problem with many, but I have been to therapy.
20:05Couples therapy.
20:07So, here you go.
20:09You are surprising.
20:12Which is surprising.
20:15I'll bite.
20:16I can do personal.
20:19How did it go?
20:20Okay, I'll bite back.
20:22Um, it's ongoing.
20:24Dare I say, complicated.
20:26Vivian, you have no idea.
20:27Les, you got my name right.
20:28You just called me Les.
20:33Which, please do.
20:46Is this Marvel after Union Station on Market Street?
20:49Richard?
20:49Hmm?
20:50What's the fucking plan?
20:51I forgot you.
20:52Okay.
20:55You've had a phone this whole time.
20:57Okay.
20:58Because I asked for help, and you brought me a piece of fucking pie.
21:02But we have a phone.
21:03Okay, so.
21:04Here's the plan.
21:06Hit me.
21:07I, Richard Paul Ware, willingly sacrifice my natural size and myself in the name of love.
21:15Fuck.
21:16For the greatest love story ever told.
21:18You will pen our story, inspiring lovers for generations to come, thereby earning a second Pulitzer.
21:26Then we will live out our days in the dollhouse.
21:29As tiny people, but only in size, not in spirit, not in heart.
21:36Happily ever after.
21:40That's, that's the plan, huh?
21:42Yeah.
21:43That's the plan.
21:43So you, uh, I just, why, though, would you shrink yourself without a plan to make us big again?
21:56Richard?
21:57Well, I mean.
21:57You have no fucking plan at all.
21:59Do I have that right?
22:00Well, no.
22:00Oh, my God.
22:01No, no, no, no.
22:02Why?
22:03Did I think that you would have any answers?
22:05I thought you were going to save me.
22:08Oh, my God.
22:10No, no, no, no, no, no.
22:10Less than the team are going to solve the formula eventually, like they're so close.
22:14They're like.
22:15No, no, no, no.
22:15What's the solve?
22:16We can choose.
22:17Tiny bodies.
22:18Big love.
22:19Big bodies.
22:20Big love.
22:21Choose?
22:22You think I would choose this?
22:25Ah.
22:26It's a run out of battery.
22:27I should have, I should have packed the charger, but I, I put the pie in instead because you said
22:31it was your favorite.
22:31I'm walking away before I punch you in the fucking throat.
22:35What?
22:36I, wait, should I follow you?
22:38No.
22:39The train has left the station.
22:41Okay?
22:42I'm going to get the next train.
22:44I'm going to get the next.
22:44No, it's the end of the line, Richard.
22:47All right.
22:48And the end of the metaphor, okay?
22:51All right.
22:51Do not fucking quote Shakespeare.
22:56Lindy?
22:5815 years of silence.
23:00Not, not 15 years of silence, but 15 years of silence.
23:06And, and, and now my dream, my imprint, my publishing imprint.
23:10Harry Leland Publishing.
23:13Simple, elegant, dignified.
23:17Slipping through my manicured fingers.
23:22Does she care?
23:23No.
23:24Does she demand more?
23:26Yes.
23:27Are we still friends?
23:30I don't know.
23:34Hmm.
23:37You help her.
23:40Who helps you?
23:45Me.
23:50Transactional relationships are unsustainable.
23:56Unlonely.
24:04You are good people.
24:07I know at least 30 people who would disagree with you about that.
24:12More opinions don't equal truth.
24:19You are so wise.
24:32You got me in a twist.
24:36I like that.
24:39A lot.
24:51May I, may I ask, um, are you married?
24:56You may.
25:01Oh.
25:03Are you married?
25:04In a way.
25:05Is he, uh, she, he, he, he, is he, um...
25:09Alive?
25:10In a way.
25:12Oh.
25:12We're starting with alive.
25:13Isn't the term alive binary in its nature?
25:16A living organism is considered alive if it exhibits certain characteristics that differentiates it from non-living matter.
25:24In a way, my husband cannot be differentiated from non-living matter.
25:28May, may I ask?
25:29No, we're done here.
25:31But it felt good to share.
25:34Oh, no.
25:35What?
25:36I think Mr. Magoo is having a seizure.
25:38A seizure?
25:39What?
25:40She could die.
25:41Okay, I can't lose her.
25:43Her?
25:44I, I, I'm sorry, him.
25:46Clearly.
25:46Are you okay?
25:47Yes, I just love the fucking cat.
25:49Okay.
25:50The seizure has stopped.
25:52His heart rate is back to normal.
25:53Okay, good.
25:53My heart is racing.
25:59Your pulse is excessively high.
26:01The wrist, excessively sweaty.
26:07I, uh, nothing can happen to that cat, okay?
26:10Mr. Magoo is fine.
26:11I'm more worried about you.
26:14I appreciate your concern.
26:16I, uh, let's go.
26:19Excuse me.
26:27Oh, come on, where is she?
26:32Oh, come on, where is she?
26:33Where is she?
26:34Where is she?
26:36Where is she?
26:36Come on.
26:38Oh.
26:46I'm utterly alone.
27:04I was just looking for you.
27:06Why?
27:07I wanted to tell you how much I loved your speech.
27:11What are your notes, Professor?
27:13No notes.
27:14Very efficient use of your words.
27:16Yeah, sure, right.
27:18Fission again.
27:19Listen, I know that you didn't want to do anything for graduation.
27:23But I wondered if you and I could go get milkshakes at Mandy's.
27:30I'm not ten.
27:33Yeah, uh, I know.
27:35I just thought it would be, you know.
27:37A nostalgic?
27:38Mm-hmm.
27:39Yeah, you busted me.
27:40I'm so uncool, so.
27:44It's just ice cream.
27:45What do you think?
27:47Okay, I can't.
27:49Um, I'm leaving.
27:51For where?
27:52College.
27:53It's June.
27:55College starts in the fall.
27:56Didn't Dad tell you?
27:58He got me, like, some internship or observation, whatever thing.
28:03Uh, no.
28:05No, Dad did not.
28:07Dad did not what?
28:09Lulu's summer plans?
28:11I didn't tell you?
28:13No.
28:14Well, it was very last minute.
28:15Um, I thought I told you.
28:17Sorry.
28:19Sorry.
28:20Sorry.
28:27Where are you going?
28:31Didn't I tell you?
28:39You're the second person today, drowning sorrows in a milkshake.
28:44Oh, yeah?
28:45Huh.
28:46Was it another mother?
28:52It was me.
28:56How are you sad, Ever?
29:00I could ask you the same thing, but I've read your work, and I mean that with all respect
29:06and a hint of jest.
29:08Do I know you?
29:10No.
29:10No, no.
29:12I know you.
29:14And I love you.
29:15In full transparency, I work at the lab with your husband.
29:21Oh, well, too bad.
29:29Yeah.
29:36You know, I would be remiss if I didn't take the opportunity to tell you how much I admire
29:45and a duel, you're enough.
29:49No.
29:49No.
29:50Look, your ability to capture the weight, the burden of the mother's complicated emotional
29:56relationship, not only with the daughter, but with herself.
29:59Come on.
29:59That is a master class.
30:01It is a master class in dimension and in heartbreak.
30:05And in a lesser writer's hand, it could come across as cartoonish or salacious, but I was,
30:11I am, you know, it stays with you.
30:13Yeah, deeply moved by the daughter's ability to thrive under the complex emotional circumstances
30:20thrust upon her.
30:22It is a hero's journey underneath a comedic cry for help.
30:32I just wanted to give that daughter a hug.
30:37It's productive, I know, but it's true.
30:45I could really use a hug.
30:49This might be overstepping, but I would be happy to provide one.
30:56Okay.
31:18Is this okay?
31:21That's perfect.
31:26Your mom's here.
31:27Yeah, okay.
31:28Thank you, Barb.
31:33I should, I should go.
31:35Okay.
31:39She doesn't like to drive at night.
31:41The sun's out.
31:42It's setting.
31:45It's setting.
31:58I am alone.
32:02We're all alone.
32:08We're all alone.
32:17We're all alone.
32:20Oh.
32:20Oh.
32:25Oh.
32:28Oh,首 fragranced.
32:32Oh, I should.
32:34Okay.
32:34Oh, oh, girl.
32:35Oh, oh, oh, oh.
