13:41Wendy? What?
13:43Yeah, she left a pretty hefty bar tab last night.
13:46She sounds like a good time.

13:50She paid for your tab, but then left her credit card.
13:54Huh.
13:54Okay, why don't you just fucking say it?
13:57Credit card fraud.
14:03So, what is this?

14:47No, she's at the Greyhouse.
14:49But you rushed home.
14:50She left this morning because she's emotionally unwell.
14:53Oh, right.
14:54Yeah.
14:55Should she be alone?

16:32Merry Christmas!
16:33It's like Dollhouse.
16:35It's just like our house.
16:36Yeah.
16:37Daddy's been working on this for months.
16:38That was Mommy's idea.
16:40Well, I knew you liked the one Steffi had.
16:43This is way better than Steffi.
16:45And look, the lights work.
16:46See?
16:46Woo!
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.
16:59Oh, yes, but Mommy is in her office working.
17:03No, but Mommy's watching TV.
17:07No, Mommy is at her desk writing.
17:10No, she's watching TV.
17:21I am the architect of my own prison.
17:28Not anymore.
17:29No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
17:38Okay.
17:40You got this.
17:52Woo!
17:53Thank you!
18:07Burn him!
18:09Oh shit!
18:12I'm fine.
18:22Grandma!
18:24Oh, you are a sight, dear.
18:28I'm hungover, Grandma.
18:29And I'm not the legal drinking age.
18:32Do you hate me?
18:33Never, dear. I appreciate your honesty.
18:36Don'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.
18:44I don't even know or care why.
18:46I crossed wires with your dad.
18:49Have you told him fuck science yet?
18:52Grandma!
18:53Your words.
18:54Or 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.
19:30Good morning, Bob.
19:34I didn't see you.
19:35But I saw you.
19:37Meals.
19:39Lattes.
19:40Plural.
19:42I can explain.
19:43Yes, you can.
19:44And you will.
19:45I know you can't help yourself, Bob.
19:48Technically speaking, I did not break the conditions stipulated in my NDA.
19:51I answer 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, they illegally acquired his tech.
20:05Illegally acquired?
20:08As 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.
20:20And my brother-in-law removed.
20:22Allegedly.
20:25Gentlemen.
20:26We didn't see you here.
20:27We need to talk.
20:28Me?
20:29Not you.
20:29Less you.
20:30It's important.
20:40Okay.
20:41But 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.
21:02I could be six inches tall forever.
21:05So I need this.
21:06I need this one thing.
21:07I tried.
21:08Okay?
21:10Writing is hard.
21:11And the pressure on a second book after winning the...
21:15It's paralyzing.
21:16I'm on my own.
21:21I need you to tell me it's okay.
21:24Please.
21:28Tell me...
21:30I'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?
21:46It'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 this now.
22:01Barely able to keep up with demand.
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, how was her Christmas?
22:20Oh, we knocked her out of the park.
22:21My best parents ever.
22:23Show them the pictures.
22:24Oh, yeah.
22:25You should see this dollhouse.
22:26Oh, there she is.
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, R.I.P. GMO Tomato.
22:36Oh, yeah.
22:37R.I.P. 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.
22:48You do?
22:50Yeah, it's early days, but I think I can say confidently that it does have the potential to change the
22:55world.
22:56It has 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.
23:11Sorry, 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, and now it's my
23:21turn 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.
23:30The 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?
23:43That's...
23:44Your turn ended with the tomato that put you on the science map, but then went flat, followed by your
23:50imminent termination from Monsanto, followed by our housekeeper finding him naked, crying on the bed.
23:57Oh.
23:58Depression.
23:59It's a bitch.
24:01Mm.
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, huh?
24:14That wasn't even 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, and 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 gonna expose me like that?
24:39Don't trust me then.
24:40Just don't tell me anything ever again.
24:42Fine. I won't.
24:42Good. Me too.
24:44Secrets from now on.
24:44Secrets.
24:45Love a secret.
24:49But it is my turn.
24:56My fucking turn.
24:58It's my turn.
24:59My turn.
24:59It's my fucking turn.
25:01It's my fucking turn.
25:06It's my fucking turn.
25:09It's my fucking turn.
25:14I can't take any more bad cat news.
25:25This is my turn.

25:37Completely unrelated so she's going to live. I mean he he he's going to live. There's more good news look
25:49That is a sample of mr. McGoo's muscle tissue the rapid expansion process might cause fragmentation in the atomic bonds
25:55leaving them too fragile to hold
26:00So we too
26:03We need to slow the reaction to allow the nuclei time
26:07to form stronger bonds stronger bonds are fundamental in the expansion of any fragile connection or
26:15Alliance oh, I agree
26:23We need a neutron moderator
26:38I
26:39Was the exponential of
26:41By
26:42divided by lambda h hat equals negative h bar squared over two times the mass of the nucleus
