02:30I've arranged to get the Vermont gang back together at the Grey House on New Year's Eve for our anniversary
02:35so we can renew our vows. New year. New us.
02:43I'm speechless.
02:45We were so happy there.
02:47Really?
02:50Are Gary and Meg going to be there?
02:52They're giving up Cabo.
02:53Lulu?
02:55Our daughter has not returned my calls.
02:56Oh, she's 18, she will.
02:58Oh, she's 18. She will. They don't do phones. Always send a text.
03:00Okay.
03:00Okay, my turn.
03:02Okay.
03:04This will be the last Christmas that we spend in St. Louis because I have listed our house with the
03:11contingency to run it back from the bio through next December.
03:14I am going to land this big fish, and tomorrow I'm going to get Elvett Smith to bankroll the final
03:20stage of my life's work so that in one year, Lindy, we can move back to the Grey House permanently.
03:27Like I promised years ago, a clean slate and a fresh start. I supported you, and you got your prize,
03:35and all I ask is that for one more year, you support me so I can get mine.
03:42Are you serious?
03:45The listing went up today.
03:52Is this real?
03:53Very.
04:02I love you.
04:05Lindy, I love you too.
04:15Thank you. Thank you for inviting me back into our bed.
04:43How does one solve the problem of feeding the world?
04:49Only less little John knows.
04:52Now what if we could take, say, an ear of corn and shrink it to a fraction of its original
04:59size?
04:59Just imagine, a farmer could grow ten, a hundred, a thousand ears of corn in the space it takes to
05:07grow one.
05:08But, how does cellular reduction work?
05:12My revolutionary molecular transformation process fundamentally changes the distance between atoms.
05:19Oh, the real question is, can you restore the corn cob to regular size after it's been miniaturized?
05:25Not only can we do it, we will do it. Together, Hilton Smith.
05:29We can make more with less. And that's L-E-S.
05:36I'll take it from here, Les.
05:43Now it's time to blow your minds.
05:50We call this the mini barn cart.
05:53No one calls for that. It's just me. See, I grew up on a farm where I, sorry, I get
05:58excited.
06:26We call this the future.
06:43I am fucking amazed!
06:49It's a corn, it's a truck. Look how tiny it is. It's been tiny. It's incredible.
06:54I got you.
06:55You did. You really did. You really did.
06:57Crazy.
06:59Well, it amaze me again. Make it big. I want to taste it.
07:04Well, that big corn takes a big investment.
07:06Oh, there he is. Money man chiming in. Well, go on.
07:10Uh, you know, Flavor Saver was a huge step forward. It was the first and the best GMO tomato on
07:19the market.
07:19But it was a failure.
07:21Well, no, it wasn't.
07:23It was a breakthrough, but it tasted like old band-aids.
07:26Admit it.
07:28No, I don't think I will.
07:29Well, admit it or I walk.
07:33No.
07:38Fuck yeah! You should never admit failure.
07:42I got you.
07:43Yes, you did, Hilton. But this agrotech is going to change the world.
07:48Jinx. And just think, this is only the beginning.
07:52Sorry, who are you?
07:53Vivian, Hilton's chief scientist.
07:55I'm the guts. I just write the checks. She's...
07:58The brains.
07:58And my guts never make mistakes.
08:01I mean, I would write you a check right now, but for some reason, I'm just not feeling yummy in
08:11my tummy.
08:14Who are you?
08:15Me?
08:16Who are you?
08:18Is this a trick question?
08:19I don't know. Is it?
08:21Well, who are you?
08:23I'm awesome. I'm Hilton.
08:25Well, I'm awesome. I'm less.
08:30Yeah, I'm gonna need more.
08:38You liked it?
08:40Yeah, I'm gonna lose my house.
09:00Hey.
09:02Hey.
09:03Hey.
09:04Uh, something quietly revealed itself to me.
09:08Oh, what's that?
09:09Maria's staff pick.
09:11My rainbow starts with black.
09:13It's a Pulitzer Prize winning novel by the one, the only, Lindy McMichael Littlejohn.
09:20That's a lifetime ago.
09:23Uh-uh. 18 years and still a fanfave?
09:25Listen, Richie. Um, we need to talk.
09:31Uh-oh.
09:32No.
09:33Yeah?
09:34No, we've just begun.
09:36Richie.
09:36Hold on. This is just the first act. Do not turn this into a tragedy.
09:41Tragedy is a better story.
09:43Oh, I wish they had a section on how to repair an emotional affair.
09:49Listen, you really saw me when I needed it the most.
09:53I did.
09:54Yeah, and you really gave me that emotional intimacy that I craved, you know?
10:00Mm-hmm.
10:00You were a great shoulder, an ear.
10:04Mm-hmm.
10:04You're so handsome, young, smart.
10:08No, stop it.
10:09And maybe in another life, but...
10:11But I fell in love.
10:15And you?
10:16I fell in Les.
10:18L-E-S?
10:19Yeah.
10:19Why?
10:20Les knows the real me, the worst of me, and he... he still loves me.
10:27I could love the worst of you.
10:28No.
10:29Yeah.
10:29He has 20 years on you, and you've known me, like, a few months.
10:32Six and a half.
10:34Yeah.
10:35Les...
10:36Wait, no.
10:37He made a grand gesture, and he promised me a fresh start, and I believe him.
10:42Why?
10:44No, no, no, no.
10:45Actually, don't say.
10:46Love should remain a mystery.
10:50My mom told me that.
10:52Okay.
10:53I'm gonna go.
10:54Just, just, wait, wait.
10:56This...
10:56Oh, God, no, no.
10:57I got you this Christmas present.
10:59Absolutely cannot accept this.
11:00You must, or it means our love was in vain.
11:03She's not love.
11:03Okay, okay, okay.
11:04Just open the card first.
11:07There is no need to thank me, okay?
11:25Merry Christmas, my love.
11:27In anticipation of the new year, new you, and new us, I thought this would be a great start.
11:34Open the present.
11:35I'll wait.
11:47I hate this rag.
11:48I know you hate this rag, but I knew you'd never send it in yourself.
11:53Give it a quick read.
11:54See if you recognize it.
11:58Oh, Richie.
12:00No, no, no, no.
12:01What have you done?
12:02I pretended to be your book agent.
12:04Your story is gonna be in the New Yorker.
12:09No, I didn't write this.
12:11I'm fucked.
12:13I know it's overwhelming, and I'm sure you don't.
12:15Oh, fuck, Richie.
12:18No, no, no.
12:20Oh, my fuck.
12:21Oh, shit, shit, shit, shit.
12:23Oh, bitch, pick up, pick up.
12:25Hi, this is Terry.
12:26Leave a message.
12:27Terry.
12:28Oh, fuck.
12:29Okay, there is a story.
12:31There's a story in the New Yorker with my name on it, and I need you to call me back.
12:35This is an emergency.
12:36For Sirius this time, call me back.
12:39Fuck.
12:51Shut the door.
12:53Why?
12:53Because I want to raise my voice.
12:56Jesus jumping crackers.
12:58Why would you invite Hilton to your charity event at your home tonight?
13:03Because he wants to know who I am.
13:05But Lindy will be there.
13:06And?
13:07I'm sorry.
13:08Am I the only one that remembers last year, the silent auction, the pool incident,
13:13and you're still serving alcohol this year, right?
13:15Count me out.
13:16I'm sorry.
13:17I cannot watch.
13:21I don't think that my heart or my stomach can tolerate another interaction with him,
13:26but we are broke.
13:29And here's all we have.
13:31There are no more interested investors less with Hilton's kind of cash.
13:36You know what?
13:37Lindy and I are fine now.
13:39We're good, even.
13:40And we're renewing our vows.
13:42New year.
13:42New us.
13:43Yes.
13:43You said that last year.
13:44This year, it's going to stick.
13:46You sleeping in the same bed?
13:47Yes.
13:48Just sleeping?
13:49Sleeping plus.
13:51Big plus?
13:52Small plus.
13:53It'd feel so much better if it was big.
13:55We're on the road to big.
13:56I promise you.
13:57Um, okay.
14:00Lindy, it's me.
14:01It's me calling you.
14:02Um, I'm not panicking, but just call me back before the party, okay?
14:05It's not an emergency, but it's an emergency.
14:08Oh, oh, oh, sorry, sorry.
14:09Um, my, uh, my polyp is gone.
14:12Yeah, but there's a hole in my heart now.
14:14Sounds like a case for the bard's guard.
14:16So I'll be unable to attend your party this evening.
14:19Our loss.
14:20Good luck, Richard.
14:45You're not Jackie.
14:46I'm Hill.
14:47Don't make me raise it.
14:49Who are you?
14:49Uh, I'm Professor Littlejohn.
14:51Jackie's professor.
14:52Did she leave for break already?
14:53Have I missed her?
14:54I hope not, because I'm her fucking ride.
14:56Jackie!
14:58Professor Littlejohn.
14:59Yeah, Lindy!
15:00You should call me Lindy.
15:01Oh, uh, Hill, uh, Professor Littlejohn is the reason that I'm here.
15:07Oh, you wrote that book she loves.
15:09I didn't read it.
15:10No offense.
15:11None taken.
15:11Jackie, I'm so glad I caught you.
15:14Can we talk?
15:15Yeah.
15:16Just real quick.
15:17Oh, you mean without me?
15:18I do.
15:19Oh.
15:20Is it okay?
15:20Oh, yeah.
15:21It's rude.
15:21No offense.
15:22But sure.
15:23Okay.
15:23Let's just have it.
15:25Okay.
15:28Um, have I done something wrong, Professor Littlejohn?
15:31Oh, no, no.
15:32Gosh, no.
15:33No, I have.
15:34I have.
15:36I, um, I need to tell you something.
15:43Uh, I loved your short story.
15:47Untitled on purpose.
15:48Yeah, that's the one.
15:49Yeah, I loved it.
15:50It was brilliant.
15:52Uh, the prose was incisive.
15:54Oh, just the voice.
15:55Fresh.
15:56Distinguished.
15:57Rare.
15:57Rare.
15:58One that deserves the attention of the New York literati.
16:04I mean, that, that means the world to me, Professor Littlejohn.
16:08It's almost, it's almost Christmas and you're at my door complimenting my work.
16:11I, oh my gosh, I couldn't ask for a better gift.
16:13Okay, listen to me, listen to me.
16:14Yes?
16:15You need to turn it into a novel right now.
16:20Now?
16:21Really?
16:22Really now.
16:23Mm-hmm.
16:23Um, I guess I could get started over the break.
16:27No, you need to take next semester off and just write.
16:30The whole semester.
16:32The whole semester.
16:33You just want to isolate and write while it's fresh, while it's here, while Untitled
16:38on Purpose is coursing through you, right?
16:41Yes, yes, I feel it.
16:42Okay, so you need to isolate and write, uh, no distractions, no internet, no novels,
16:47no magazines, no, uh, nothing.
16:50No, nothing.
16:50Right?
16:50Nothing.
16:51And just all winter long, a very, a room of one's own.
16:54Right.
16:55Wolf it.
16:55Right, wolf it.
16:56Could you do that?
16:57Yes, well, uh, well, how's dad?
16:59My Uncle Flip, he has a cabin back in Montana that's super isolated.
17:04That's Walden Pond isolated.
17:05That's perfect.
17:06Right?
17:06Yes, Jackie.
17:08Yeah.
17:09This has the potential to be your
17:12My Rainbow starts with black?
17:15No, Professor Little John, it, it couldn't.
17:18Jackie, I should know.
17:20My goal in life is to just write one, one great novel like you.
17:28So we're agreed.
17:30You're going to isolate and write.
17:31Yes.
17:32All semester.
17:33All semester.
17:33You're going to Montana.
17:35Yes.
17:35Remember, no magazines, right?
17:37None.
17:37You don't want any?
17:38Uh-uh.
17:39Just turn off the internet, okay?
17:41Right.
17:41I will unplug completely.
17:43Yes.
17:44Okay, hey, Merry Christmas.
17:46Merry Christmas to you, too.
17:52Okay, that was some of that.
18:13Oh, Terry, thank Christ.
18:16Okay, listen.
18:16I have ten minutes.
18:18Blindsiding me with one short story published in the New Yorker over the last two decades gets you one.
18:23The fact that we've been friends for more than 20 years gets you another.
18:26And the other eight belonged to Gilliam Flynn.
18:28He continues to publish bestsellers, which bought me a classic six off the park.
18:33I didn't write the story.
18:34It's my students' work.
18:38My ex-emotional lover, long story, found the fucking story in my bag and thought it was mine.
18:45And I, why would I correct him, you know?
18:48He sent it in without my knowledge on my behalf because he, long story, adored me and thought I was
18:56capable of writing something great again.
18:58I'm taking a sabbatical from Wash U.
19:00I'm headed to the gray house.
19:02Les and I are going to renew our vows.
19:04Long story, you're invited.
19:06I know you hate him.
19:07I did too, but he is a good dad and I'm committed to committing to my marriage.
19:13So, I cannot handle this shit storm right now, which is sure, by the way, to tarnish your reputation as
19:21well.
19:22So, if you want to keep that classic six, then can you please, please fix this fucking mess so I
19:29can focus on my vows and my marriage like I promised?
19:32I hate you.
19:34I know.
19:35I hate me too.
19:38No, you're not allowed to thank me.
19:45Oliver!
20:06Les has been calling.
20:07I've been texting.
20:08And I have been busy.
20:09Les needs you on best behavior tonight.
20:12Hilton Smith is attending.
20:14Condescending as always, Starla.
20:16And who?
20:18Necessary.
20:18And he is a big investor.
20:20You know, I thought the cover was on the pool last year, right?
20:23You know that.
20:24Great!
20:24You already picked up the first frame to me.
20:25I did.
20:26Yep.
20:27It's locked.
20:28I know.
20:30Is this another party protest?
20:31No.
20:32Hilton is here in five.
20:33Starla.
20:34Your dress is upstairs.
20:35I need you inside.
20:35Now.
20:36What dress?
20:37Les, let me assess your wardrobe situation.
20:39And we both agreed that the only option was to outsource an upgrade.
20:43Insulting.
20:44And what if I hate it?
20:46Your futures are on the line.
20:48He said to me, quote, no new year, new us without new money.
20:52Unquote.
20:53So please, just move.
20:55Get out of the car.
20:57Now.
20:58Bye-bye, Starla.
21:00I will have the valet physically remove you.
21:05I need a minute.
21:07One minute.
21:11Can you hug out front?
21:13Stat.
21:42Come on, tell me what Les is working on.
21:45This is the cover of Scientific American.
21:48He tells me nothing, Nels.
21:49Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
21:51And you never ask.
21:52Bullshit, Lindy.
21:53I have printed that same quote from you ten times over the years.
21:56All I'll say is first rule of Fight Club.
21:59Lame.
22:00And outdated.
22:01Just like Scientific American.
22:14Vodka dry.
22:20Oh, thank you.
22:33Big Red has landed.
22:35Where's Lindy?
22:37I need eyes on Lady Tomato.
22:38Help.
22:39Give me a 20 on Deep Pockets.
22:42Double negative.
22:43Big Red is not happy.
22:45I know amazing style when I see it.
22:49This is a facade.
22:50Oh, well, the facade is working.
22:54I'm teetering on the precipice of being outed as a fraud.
22:58Which I probably deserve.
23:01I'm supposed to be the supportive wife.
23:06But my career going up in flames is banging around my brain.
23:09That's all I can hear.
23:11What does your husband think about that?
23:13Oh, he has no clue.
23:15He's a fraud, too.
23:17Is that so?
23:20Welcome, everyone.
23:24Every year, I say I'm going to keep it short and that this night is not about me.
23:28It's about the children.
23:30And tonight, I'm actually going to keep that promise.
23:33But, you know, let's be honest.
23:35It has to be about me first because you're all here to bid on my stuff.
23:40Oh, well, he's just playing the role of a charitable philanthropist.
23:46But all he really cares about is his life's work.
23:50First, himself second, our daughter third, me last.
23:53Which I probably deserve.
23:55Well, I'm just curious.
23:57What do you think about his life's work?
23:59And a very personal little ditty about Jack and Diane.
24:04My John Cougar Mellencamp Velcro wallet with my high school ID still inside.
24:10Huh?
24:11Where else are you going to get one of those?
24:13I can't tell you that.
24:17It's so top secret.
24:18I actually have no idea what it is.
24:20Oh.
24:21Hold on a second.
24:21My top elf is really trying to tell me something.
24:25Lady Tomato on the veranda.
24:26Deep pockets, two drinks and third on deck.
24:28You're fucking joking, aren't you?
24:29You're fucking fired.
24:31I'll turn on my headset.
24:34But I can tell you, he's brilliant.
24:40Don't tell him I said that.
24:42Yeah.
24:43I mean, I'm already last.
24:44You know, what's after last?
24:48Not much.
24:49So yeah, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
24:53And hopefully that covers it all.
24:56Okay.
24:59Last five minutes.
25:00No, two, one, later, maybe.
25:02Done.
25:02Oh, everybody was up.
25:04Wendy, stop, stop, stop.
25:05I'm just explaining to this gentleman
25:06why there's no outdoor access this holiday season.
25:10So as a joke, last year, I put into the silent auction,
25:13as a joke, watch almighty Les walk on water.
25:18I thought the cover was on the pool.
25:19Oh.
25:20It was out.
25:21I'm so sorry.
25:22You get it.
25:22Hilton, I'm so sorry.
25:23I just want to say I'm so sorry.
25:25Well, I pay right now to see that.
25:27Awesome Les.
25:29If you can walk on water, you got my money.
25:32Are you being serious?
25:34No.
25:35No.
25:35Oh, great.
25:36So I can still get the money?
25:38After the conversation with your wife,
25:41uh, I don't know.
25:44Hi, Hilton, I didn't know.
25:45Okay, Elindia, why don't you just not say anything
25:47and maybe go and get us a lot of drinks?
25:50Yeah.
25:51Okay.
25:51So, um, Hilton, I don't know what she said.
25:53Well, she said that you put work first,
25:56family third, and her dead last.
25:58That's out of context.
26:00What kind of man are you?
26:01I know.
26:01I just, I can explain.
26:03I can explain.
26:04Oh, my God.
26:07You never explain anything.
26:09I got you.
26:10Oh, yeah.
26:12Again.
26:12Again.
26:13You suck at it.
26:14I do, I do, I do.
26:15So just to be clear,
26:16Lindy didn't tank the deal.
26:17She closed it.
26:18Now she's awesome.
26:21Workaholics, they changed the world.
26:23I'm a workaholic.
26:24I should know.
26:26Thank you so much.
26:27Thank you so much.
26:28I want to go to work right away.
26:29Like, fuck the holidays.
26:30Yeah.
26:31Put it on my Christmas card every year.
26:33Yeah.
26:33You really see me.
26:34We both do.
26:35Oh, it's you again.
26:36Hilton's chief scientist.
26:38Oh, the brains.
26:39And the boots.
26:40The boots?
26:41The boots on the ground.
26:42What do the boots do?
26:43The boots ensure that my guts are never wrong.
26:47The boots are part of the deal.
26:49I'm all in.
26:51Are you?
26:52Awesome, Les?
26:59Fine.
27:00Just, just tell me.
27:01I'm melting down.
27:03Because I fucked the deal.
27:04No, I closed the deal.
27:06I closed the deal.
27:07Fantastic.
27:08No.
27:08What do you mean, no?
27:09That's so great.
27:11Oh my God, I was so worried.
27:13No, no.
27:13I am saddled with one of Hilton's network of bio spies.
27:17His chief scientist is going to come in and she's going to take credit for my work.
27:21And all of this will have been for nothing.
27:23I will be nothing.
27:25My legacy will be nothing.
27:27I shall go to the grave without a Nobel.
27:28You know, this was my last chance at greatness.
27:33God.
27:34Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
27:39Hey, come on.
27:41You remember Joan Ryan?
27:44Huh?
27:45Yeah, my nemesis at MIT.
27:47That's right.
27:48You were convinced that the PhD board was going to pick her over you.
27:53And you were going to be relegated to just a footnote in the science community or some
27:58other science bad thing, right?
27:59But what actually happened, Les?
28:03They chose me.
28:05They chose you.
28:07And where's Joan Ryan?
28:09Teaching at Berkeley.
28:12And where are you?
28:14In St. Louis.
28:16But why?
28:16Oh, uh, to give the finger to those ungrateful pricks at Monsanto.
28:22And to build the Menlo Park of the Midwest.
28:24And how?
28:25How?
28:26Because I am a partner in my own company, creating the bio-agrotech that will change the world.
28:31That's right.
28:31Yeah.
28:32You're going to change the world.
28:35And you are.
28:37I've always believed that.
28:39Even when you hated me?
28:41Oh.
28:43Especially when I hated you.
28:46So what do I do?
28:48You do what you always do.
28:49You get back in the workshop.
28:53And you figure it out.
28:55That's what Les Littlejohn does.
28:58Yeah.
28:58Right?
28:59Yeah.
29:00Right.
29:01Okay.
29:02Okay.
29:05That's it.
29:06That's it.
29:07Thank you, Lydia.
29:08Thank you for being so understanding.
29:11Oh, God.
29:14So now I got to get back in the workshop.
29:16And let's move our renewing our vows to next year.
29:19That's a fantastic idea.
29:21Les, no, I didn't.
29:21What?
29:22Huh?
29:22That's what you said, right?
29:24Huh?
29:25Did I?
29:26Yeah.
29:27Gary and Meg.
29:28Oh, Gary and Meg would much prefer to go to Cabo.
29:31Let's send them something.
29:31Sign my name.
29:32No, no, no.
29:33That will be so humiliating.
29:34Oh, don't worry.
29:34Don't worry.
29:35I'll tell Lulu that she can just go skiing with her friends like she wanted.
29:37So I'll see you when I see you.
29:39I'll be back when I'm back.
29:40And, um, I love you.
29:41And I can't wait for new year, new us, next year.
29:44Mwah!
29:51They're f-
29:52Ah!
29:55Is he f-
29:56FUCKING kidding me?!
30:16LINDY?
30:16Hi, hi, Richie.
30:18Um, I made a mistake and I'm leaving Les.
30:24Tonight!
30:25I hear the emotion in your voice and it's beautiful.
30:28I've been hoping for a Christmas miracle.
30:30Yeah, I'm gonna go to Vermont.
30:32I'm gonna go to the Grey House and I, um, could you, could you come with me?
30:36Where you finished your masterpiece.
30:39I'd be honored to be invited.
30:41A gift beyond measure.
30:42Uh, I have ten vacation days and one personal day bagged.
30:46Heart emoji!
30:48Uh, let's meet at Mandy's Diner at midnight.
30:51Heart emoji bag.
30:52I'll arrive with joy in my step and a light in my heart.
30:56Did you love my present?
30:58The fuck?!
30:59Pardon?
30:59Yeah, I...
31:02didn't have the heart to open it.
31:05So, um, I'll just bring it with me, okay?
31:08New year, new you, new us.
31:11Oh, is Vermont cold?
31:12I get-
31:35Everybody out in 30 minutes or Hulk is gonna see me smash.
31:41Iceberg ahead, 30 clicks.
31:43Abandoned ship.
31:44Lady Tomato about to burst.
31:45Hey, hey, hey!
31:47Les promised me a minute.
31:51I'll give you 20.
32:11I'll give you 20 minutes.
32:11Excuse me?
32:13I thought the boots up my ass might start after the holidays.
32:17Martin signed the LOI ASAP and Hilton turned on the money hose in good faith.
32:21I didn't sign.
32:22I'm a partner.
32:23Apparently not the important one.
32:26Oh, well, now I'm inspired and I would like you to leave.
32:32A genius needs his space.
32:34Exactly.
32:35And I plan on being inspired throughout the holidays.
32:38I know this is a difficult transition period.
32:41I'll give you tonight.
32:43But I will be back tomorrow.
32:47Boots on the ground, Dr. Littlejohn.
32:52Boots on the ground, Dr. Littlejohn.
32:54Fuck me.
33:21Boots on the ground, Dr. Littlejohn.
33:32Nils, I don't have time.
33:37She what?
34:01You're old.
34:02Text me.
34:08Fuck you, too.
34:13Starla?
34:25Freezers off limits from now on till I say.
34:28I need to regroup.
34:29Where are you going?
34:31I'm leaving you.
34:33If anyone should be leaving anyone, I should be leaving you.
34:35How's that?
34:36For trying to sabotage my career?
34:38Think I don't know?
34:39Huh?
34:39You don't think Nils would call me for comment, Lindy?
34:42Scientific American, not TMZ.
34:44I'm a hoax, you know what?
34:46I'm threatened by a female scientist taking credit for my work.
34:49You mentioned Joan.
34:51I'm not a misogynist.
34:53I'm not, I'm not intentionally.
34:54Oh?
34:55If anything, I'm an accidental misogynist.
34:56And I too blame the patriarchy for that.
34:58I never said misogynist.
35:00Why would you do this?
35:01Why?
35:01You know why.
35:04Is it about Gary and Meg?
35:06This is about you and our marriage and breaking the promise of step three,
35:12colon, a grand gesture, and our daughter who hates me,
35:16sucking the life out of me and my promising writing career.
35:19Career?
35:20Stop.
35:21It was one book in the early aughts.
35:24This is what you did.
35:25You basically, you turned in a book report on your fucked up family,
35:29you changed the names, you added a little wry sarcasm,
35:32and then you called a fiction, and you got lucky.
35:35Lucky.
35:35My rainbow starts with black.
35:37No shit.
35:38My book report and the subsequent Oscar-nominated film it's based on bought and paid for this
35:45extravagantly sad McMansion in this podunk red state town you forced us to move to so that
35:53you could try to be something other than Mr. Fucking Tomato Head.
35:58This is the last thing I need right now.
35:59Oh my god.
36:00Yes.
36:00I'm so sorry.
36:02What is it you need right now?
36:03I need you.
36:05Yeah.
36:05I need your support.
36:06This is my last chance.
36:08You already got your prize.
36:11And in case you forgot, I was by your side for every fucking sentence.
36:17Every book signing, every interview.
36:19I held your purse.
36:21I held my tongue.
36:22You know, I was there for the ride.
36:24And it wasn't always pleasant.
36:25You know, the roller coaster of insecurity and emotion was frankly fucking exhausting.
36:30I have paid that debt.
36:32I have been by your side for 15 years.
36:35You had flavor savor and it was insufferable.
36:42Still is.
36:43But I didn't get my moment in the spotlight like you did.
36:46I didn't get my prize.
36:48Swing and a miss.
36:50How is it my fault?
36:53How?
36:54My apologies.
36:55Forgive me for being ambitious.
36:57Um, coasting by on a one hit wonder isn't enough for me.
37:01Maybe you don't have another hit in you.
37:03Huh?
37:03Maybe you're one and done.
37:05Maybe your ego just won't let you read the room.
37:08I would rather be blinded by my ego than paralyzed by fear.
37:11That's me?
37:12That's what you think of me?
37:13Yeah, because you haven't produced one goddamn sentence in 15 years.
37:17What kind of magic do you think you're suddenly going to find in your beloved gray house?
37:20Huh?
37:21With me by your side, like an emotional support animal, encouraging you, keeping you calm,
37:26because, quote, I promised we'd return there one day, unquote.
37:30I mean, I am through being held emotionally hostage for your creative paralysis.
37:36And there it is, everyone.
37:39That's our show.
37:41Same line every time.
37:50This is the top secret thing you've been working on?
37:54Give me that.
37:55Give me that.
37:55A Tonka truck is not going to change the world, let alone agriculture as we know it.
38:01You have no idea what you're talking about.
38:02This is what you said to every female scientist that's ever had a better idea.
38:06You know, most men overcompensate with a big truck.
38:09It's nice to see yours to scale.
38:18What a gentleman.
38:19Oh, fuck.
38:21What?
38:22Oh, no, Lindy.
38:26What'd you do?
38:43Oh, God, is she dead?
38:45Oh, God, is she dead?
38:51Lindy.
38:53Say something.
38:54Are you alive?
38:57Oh, you're alive!
39:01Fuck you!
39:02Fuck you!
39:03No!
39:04Oh!
39:20Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight.
39:23Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight
39:26Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight with you
39:34Good morning
39:36How long until you can fix me?
39:39I need the truth
39:43I don't know
39:45But I'm making really good progress
39:48It's incredible
39:53Moving forward, everything that happens in this lab will be authorized by me
39:58Mom wrote something?
40:00The story is viral
40:01This is a ticking time bomb that is going to blow
40:04But you're gonna fix that
40:09That means the world to me
40:12Richard, where are you at my house?
40:14Lindy, wherefore art thou?
40:17I was in the neighborhood
40:20So I think mom has had an emotional breakdown
40:24So Hurricane Lindy is tracking northeast
40:27No, don't say that
40:29I'm the villain
40:33Lindy!
40:34Oh fuck
40:36Oh god
40:37I've created a tiny monster
40:52I've created a tiny monster
40:53I've created a tiny monster
40:53I've created a tiny monster
40:53I've created a tiny monster
40:54I've created a tiny monster
40:55I've created a tiny monster
40:55I've created a tiny monster
