00:10You
00:37Nice doing business with you.
00:39You too.
00:43What?
00:44You have NRE.
00:46What's that?
00:47New relationship energy.
00:49Don't start with that.
00:50Do you want a drink?
00:52Definitely.
01:03I'll return them.
01:25Lila?
01:26Hi.
01:26Hi.
01:27Do you want to come in?
01:29Uh, is that for me?
01:32You can read it later.
01:34Well, I'm making Negronis.
01:36You want a Negroni?
01:37Who is it?
01:38I'm sorry.
01:45What are you doing out there?
01:48Who are you talking to?
01:51Um.
01:55What's that?
01:56Uh, nothing.
01:57Did she just give that to you?
01:58Nope.
01:59Can I see it?
02:00Nope.
02:00No, really.
02:01No, John.
02:01Really, it is nothing.
02:02Nothing at all.
02:03Just let me see it.
02:04Can I just see it?
02:06Why are you acting so crazy?
02:12Okay, well, I have to go put the deer netting back on my lettuces.
02:18I understand my role in the end of our relationship.
02:22I understand my role in the end of our relationship.
02:22Mom, there's like no mess on this.
02:24However, your act of retaliation destroyed my life.
02:28Each word is more dramatic than the last.
02:29You knew of my financial situation, so when you prevented me from getting a Negronisberg scholarship, you knew I would
02:37have to drop out.
02:38You told me you didn't know any of dad's accusers.
02:41If you are unwilling to recognize the harm you caused, I will have no choice but to bring your actions
02:47to the attention of the hearing committee.
02:48Why did you lie to me?
02:50I don't know.
02:51Oh, honey, you have a stye.
02:53Oh, no, this eye just like flares up if I don't sleep.
02:57So what do I do?
02:59Well, unlike whatever dad did, retaliation is actually illegal.
03:08What time did you leave Cornell?
03:10Like, I don't know, 3 a.m.?
03:12You and your friend have a fight?
03:13No, just not super into girls who want to cuddle their queer friend in bed rather than actually hook up.
03:26I mean, illegal like I could go to jail?
03:30No, no, don't be dumb, Mom.
03:32You're not going to go to jail.
03:32Well, you said illegal.
03:34You could lose your job for sure.
03:36But I think she just wants an apology.
03:40For what?
03:41Well, did you prevent her from getting a scholarship?
03:43No!
03:45Okay, is there a way to prove that?
03:49Yes.
03:55Nice pumps.
03:56Are you going out tonight?
03:58Why?
03:58You're all dressed up.
03:59The pumps.
04:00Will you stop saying pumps?
04:02So is this for colleagues?
04:03Or a colleague?
04:04Please, I'm not in the mood.
04:08I did not retaliate against Lila.
04:11I believe you.
04:12We'll prove it.
04:14Those would look better without the sack.
04:16I get compliments on this dress every time I wear it.
04:18From women, I assume.
04:20Good.
04:20Say hi to your colleague for me.
04:22Hope you like the pumps.
04:28Oh, Paul.
04:30I love that dress.
04:33Esteemed Madame Professors, may I humbly invite you to our acapella soiree, air this Friday
04:39Eve?
04:40Wonderful.
04:41Remember when acapella wasn't cool?
04:43It's still not cool.
04:44But it's less shameful.
04:45And that's unfortunate.
04:47Those people have sex.
04:49No, they don't.
04:50Actually, not anymore.
04:52Right?
04:52They're too busy calling their moms.
04:54Did you call your mom in college?
04:56She never answered.
04:57I called my parents once a month, and I couldn't get off the phone fast enough.
05:05We'll see how long he lasts.
05:07You don't think he will?
05:09You know how these hot shop writers come from the city, thinking they can coast.
05:12But then it's like buckle up bingo.
05:14It's a hell of a lot of work.
05:18Pree, when you were head of the Meckleburg Selection Committee, do you remember the year
05:23that Lila Green applied?
05:26I heard she joined the case.
05:27I was worried she'd drag you into it.
05:29Did we file the submissions in the score sheets?
05:32However you voted, it would have been understandable.
05:35No, don't say that.
05:36What were you supposed to do?
05:37You fucked my husband?
05:39Here's your prize?
05:39No, I would never hold that against someone.
05:42It's only about the work, and the work was subpar.
05:44Do you like your prop comedy?
05:46No.
05:47We kept records.
05:48They're probably in a storage closet.
05:50Department is so...
05:52God damn it.
05:53What's the word?
05:54When you're not digital, you're...
05:56Analog?
05:57Motherfucker.
05:57Yes, we are so analog.
06:00Oh my God, stop it.
06:03Now they have sex.
06:08Yes, they do.
06:18Hi.
06:20Oh, hi.
06:20You have some dust in here.
06:24Classic.
06:29Am I in your way?
06:31Binder clips.
06:35Beep, beep.
06:37Rubber bins.
06:44John, other than the storage closet, where else would they keep the scholarship files?
06:48Beats me.
06:49What are you doing?
06:50They're under no obligation to share evidence, so I exploited Dodd's old text.
06:53No, we said that she wouldn't be involved, John.
06:55And then you showed her that letter.
06:56And we got the date of the hearing.
06:58When is it?
06:58October 20th.
06:59So soon?
07:00Tell me about it.
07:01So get out your courtly blues, if you're planning on coming.
07:04Of course she's coming.
07:05I'll put it in my calendar.
07:08Are you drinking a beer?
07:11It's five o'clock.
07:12No, no, it is 4.45.
07:15She just opened it.
07:16Your daughter is drinking in the middle of the day because of you.
07:19Does that make you happy?
07:20Oh, it's five o'clock somewhere.
07:22Wine o'clock.
07:23She's a lawyer.
07:23Do you have the money to pay for a lawyer?
07:25Look, the point is, these prove that their relationships were consensual.
07:28And nobody suffered professionally or academically because of Dad.
07:33Except Lila.
07:37Oh, I'm the liability now?
07:40Everything they have on Dad is conjecture.
07:43And if you just apologize to this Lila person, then they have nothing.
07:46I have nothing to apologize for.
07:48I would never penalize a student for personal reasons.
07:52Mom, don't be stubborn.
07:53If you just apologize, she's going to drop the whole thing.
07:54I will not.
07:55He is the one who slept with her.
07:56But you played a part.
07:57No, I did not.
07:58Your dad should never have done that.
08:00And I've already apologized.
08:02And in a couple of weeks, I'm going to be publicly humiliated.
08:05So can you just please lay off?
08:07Where are you going?
08:09Yoga.
08:10Oh, my God.
08:13Don't rub your stye, honey.
08:37Are you writing again?
08:44I thought you were asleep.
08:46When do I get to read it?
08:47Well, you never even read my first novel.
08:52Yes, I did.
08:53No, you read an early draft and told me it wasn't a viable book.
08:56And then you sold it for enough money to buy this house.
08:58So what the fuck do I know?
08:59You never read my second.
09:00You told me not to.
09:04I did not play a part with Lila.
09:07Please understand that all I am doing right now is looking at stuff from 10 or 20 or even
09:1430 years ago.
09:15Do you understand how hard that is?
09:17I mean, at this stage of my life.
09:18I do understand that.
09:21My feet hurt.
09:24From my pumps.
09:32Scholarship files are probably in my office.
09:36It's David's office now.
09:38Just go and he's not there.
09:39I'll give you my key.
09:40He's drowning.
09:42The department is in chaos.
09:44That storage closet was a horror show.
09:50Well, hello there.
09:55Pull my hair harder.
10:30A twist.
10:32A twist.
10:56It was just about the work.
11:17My executive functioning is really fucked up right now.
11:20Okay.
11:21Yeah, and I also just came out.
11:24Congratulations.
11:25I'm gyne-sexual.
11:28I'm attracted to femininity, even if there's penises.
11:33Yeah.
11:34It sounds like you're going through a lot, man.
11:37Yeah.
11:37So, um, I'm not going to have that paper for you by tomorrow.
11:42Okay.
11:43Uh, do you think maybe you could get it right eventually?
11:48I think so.
11:50That would be great.
11:51Yeah, just, you know, get it to me whenever you can.
11:53Okay.
11:54All right.
11:55Thanks, Aaron.
11:56Hi, Aaron.
12:01How was that?
12:02I mean, what a rush.
12:04Oh, well, he's a particular case.
12:07I mean, I was an asshole when I was 20.
12:09But, uh...
12:10Well, I bet you handed your work in on time.
12:13Yes, ma'am.
12:14Yes, I did.
12:15Oh, I meant to ask.
12:16Did I leave my bathing suit at your house?
12:18I'll look for it.
12:24How's Cynthia?
12:26She's good.
12:28John?
12:32Awesome.
12:34Yeah.
12:36Well, I'll see you around or, oh, at the faculty meeting on Thursday.
12:44Uh, I wasn't going to go to that.
12:48Oh, you have to go.
12:50I mean, I'm struggling to find time to write.
12:52And, you know, I forget if I skip it, I have the whole day.
12:55Vlad, no.
12:56If you want tenure, you're going to have to show them that you want to work.
12:59You have to go to every meeting, join committees, lead committees, all of it.
13:05Yeah, but, you know, I need to publish if I want tenure, too.
13:09And I need to write my second book.
13:11Didn't you tell me not to get distracted?
13:13Sorry, but you have to do both.
13:15How?
13:16Well, figure it out.
13:17It's temporary pain, but once you get it, you never have to go anywhere else.
13:23Yeah, I'm not really sure I want to get stuck here.
13:25It's a little too provincial.
13:30Well, there are worse places.
13:35I was on my way to your office, actually.
13:38Oh, yes.
13:39Because, sorry, the letter of recommendation is...
13:41Brown, yes.
13:42I'm so sorry.
13:44I will do it tonight.
13:45I shouldn't have left it down to the wire.
13:47My bad.
13:48No problem at all.
13:49Are you okay?
13:51I'm awesome.
13:52Excuse me.
13:53Excuse me.
14:02Mom gave me this file, and it looks like she voted against the violet girl.
14:06For the Meckleburg scholarship.
14:08The votes were 3-2 for the other candidate.
14:11Well, that means it was split.
14:14That's what she thinks, but it means she was the deciding vote.
14:18So she did retaliate.
14:20Maybe.
14:20Maybe not.
14:21But they can certainly make a case for retaliation, like, easily.
14:25She used to apologize to that girl.
14:26I doubt she's going to do that.
14:28Well, then she's dumb, because the whole thing would go away if she would just apologize,
14:31Dad.
14:32And tell her she needs to return this file.
14:36Who is that?
14:39Uh, I made a friend.
14:41How are you feeling these days?
14:44Uh, I don't know.
14:45You still upset about your mother and me?
14:47I was only upset that you lied to me about it.
14:48But I'm an adult.
14:50And you're an adult.
14:52Mom's an adult.
14:52Your students were adults.
14:54Alexis is an adult.
14:55Everybody is an adult.
14:56That's my perspective.
14:58So, I don't know.
14:58Let's all just suck it up and behave like adults.
15:02Sure.
15:06No, don't.
15:08You can leave your nightie on.
15:10Go to your side of the bed.
15:13Just pretend I'm your colleague.
15:15Silence, please.
15:16I'm trying to sleep.
15:18Didn't get your hit today.
15:19John, stop.
15:25Sid says you were the deciding vote.
15:30And that you need to put back the file.
15:46David?
15:47Oh, hey, lady.
15:50What are you doing here?
15:52I came to write in Vlad's office,
15:54but then I took some melatonin gummies
15:57because I thought that might help
15:59shift my inescapable reality,
16:01but I just fell asleep.
16:02What are you doing here?
16:04What am I doing?
16:07I borrowed a book from David,
16:09and I just came to return it.
16:11At 5 a.m.?
16:14Oh, well...
16:15Oh, my God.
16:16Forget it.
16:20Sorry I bailed on pool day.
16:23Oh, please.
16:24Did Vlad tell you why I didn't come?
16:26He just said you fought.
16:29Yep.
16:30I found out that morning
16:32he told the hiring committee
16:34about my suicide attempt
16:35in his interview.
16:38Oh.
16:40You didn't know that?
16:42No.
16:44But you did, didn't you?
16:49So everybody knows, right?
16:50There are students on that committee?
16:53Um, well, um...
16:56You know, they sit in on interviews,
16:59but don't worry.
17:01Students love mental health.
17:02They probably raised you in their esteem.
17:04Yeah.
17:05Nothing cooler than an adjunct in recovery
17:07who once threw her own shit
17:10out of Bellevue orderly.
17:18Did he deserve it?
17:23Can I get your opinion on something?
17:27You scored her generously,
17:28in my opinion.
17:30Yeah, but not as well as the other person,
17:31and when she didn't get the scholarship,
17:33she dropped out.
17:34Okay, but why didn't she take out a loan?
17:36She didn't come from money.
17:38You think I did?
17:39Vlad and I are in so much debt,
17:40I can't see straight.
17:42Oh, sorry.
17:43You okay?
17:44Oh, yeah, sorry.
17:45These pants are just a little up there.
17:48You know what I mean?
17:48I actually like that.
17:50Reminds me something exists in that region.
17:54Look, I think that she used
17:57not getting it as an excuse.
17:59Well, she was hurt.
18:02Doesn't matter.
18:04I just have to prepare for the consequences.
18:07Or not.
18:10And then she destroyed the evidence.
18:15Oh!
18:16Oh, look what you made me do.
18:27You know, John was in the same position as you
18:30when we started.
18:31Well, I was full-time.
18:32He was an adjunct.
18:33One class.
18:34And he worked his way up
18:36all the way to chair.
18:38How?
18:40John's very savvy.
18:43But did they just, like, promote him?
18:47Or...
18:48Um, well, you'd have to ask him.
18:50Sorry.
18:51I know John's a...
18:52That's a complicated example.
18:54Oh, please.
18:55I wish Vlad would fuck other people.
18:57You don't wish that.
19:00No, I do.
19:02I mean, not students,
19:03because times have changed,
19:04but Vlad seems rather worldly.
19:08Mm-hmm.
19:09But he's kind of a pinched-ass prude.
19:12He needs to experience things.
19:13I think it would be good for him
19:15to have an affair.
19:20Would he?
19:22No.
19:26Well, I don't know.
19:29Maybe.
19:37Okay.
19:38Wait, wait, wait.
19:39Somebody needs a coffee.
19:40Say when.
19:41I do, I really do.
19:42Say when.
19:44Okay.
19:44I don't see any creamer or anything.
19:49I don't know.
19:50Okay, guys.
19:52You came.
19:54Well, thanks to you.
19:55Stop it.
19:56You know, I've been so up my own ass recently,
19:58and needed you to slap some sense into me.
20:03By the way, I read the first chapter of your book.
20:07And?
20:08I'm so fucking jealous.
20:12I think everyone is assembled,
20:14so, uh...
20:14Hey, babe.
20:15Shall we get started?
20:16Hi.
20:17Later.
20:17Hi.
20:19Okay, I'm assuming you all reviewed
20:20the faculty goals for this academic year,
20:23so any feedback?
20:23Well, I just want to make sure
20:24everyone received them.
20:25Well, no, actually...
20:26There were an attachment on the email.
20:27I didn't receive the email.
20:28This is the second time now.
20:30Did you check your spam?
20:31No, I did.
20:32No, it's clearly a distribution-less issue,
20:34once again.
20:36If the adjuncts aren't getting it,
20:37then we're...
20:39then we're...
20:39then we're going to stride
20:40to repeat with parody.
20:41I'm going to talk about this.
21:01I'm going to talk about this.
21:01I'm going to talk about this.
21:01I'm going to talk about this.
21:01I'm going to talk about this.
21:01I'm going to talk about this.
21:02I'm going to talk about this.
21:02I'm going to talk about this.
21:05I'm going to talk about this.
21:06I'm going to talk about this.
21:19I am deeply curious why you don't see the need to interrogate the infestation of historiographical artifacts within our departmental
21:26language.
21:27Why don't we have a subcommittee? We can try and redefine the language. I can, I can head it.
21:33That is very helpful. Thank you, Vlad. So, any volunteers?
21:48Um, I'll join. Great. Well, I might as well join, too. Okay.
22:00So, when should we meet? Oh, well, listen, my life is bonkers, but I'm free tonight. It's short notice, I
22:06know.
22:06Tonight? I'm up for it. Well, you're up for anything, Flo.
22:09You know it, girl. What about you?
22:13Um, I will also be there, but I do have to leave by nine. Sorry.
22:19No problem. I'm gonna have to shut that shit down.
22:22All right. See you later.
22:29Are you stealing my clothes? No, Dad's. I need to look sharp.
22:34Are you going out again? Is that allowed?
22:38Did you put the file back?
22:40Is that my shirt?
22:41Yes. And no one saw you?
22:43Nope.
22:43Try not to puke in it, please.
22:44So funny, Dad. My car's here.
22:47Are you...
22:49...meeting a friend?
22:51Sort of.
22:52Love you.
22:58Are you jealous?
22:59Of who?
23:01Of Lila.
23:01I thought we weren't talking about things that happened ten years ago.
23:05I think it's nice.
23:08You look pretty.
23:11Careful.
23:12You always care too much, and then you screw it up.
23:17Oh, I forgot to water the lettuces. Do you mind getting them before you go?
23:21Uh-huh.
23:22They'd be thirsty.
23:37I care the right amount.
24:09I'm John, right?
24:11I'm glad you reached out.
24:12What are you drinking?
24:17Uh...
24:32Ow!
24:34Fucking splinter.
24:52He's reading my book.
25:06He's reading my book.
25:07Yeah.
25:17Wow.
25:19Yeah.
26:10It's not him.
26:23Fuck!
26:34It's not him.
26:57What does that mean?
27:27Fuck!
27:27Fuck!
