00:14What does this mean?
00:17I don't understand what you're doing.
00:19The emoji, when you smile and do this.
00:22What's the context?
00:24Oh, never mind.
00:25Come on, Mom. Just tell me.
00:27It was something that felt rather sincere.
00:30Who sent it to?
00:31It's an undercut. It undercuts the meaning of the message, right?
00:35Could be.
00:35Or it could simultaneously reinforce the message.
00:39Or it's a dare.
00:41How?
00:41You know if you're, like, texting with someone, right?
00:43Say they, like, open a door to something,
00:45but then they're scared, so they undercut it with the emoji to make it safe.
00:49Like, I love you.
00:50LOL.
00:51Like, now they haven't really said it,
00:53and as a result, they've put it all in your court.
00:55My court.
00:56And then it's on you to find out if they really meant what they said.
00:58But people are fearful.
01:00Mm-hmm.
01:03Oh, why are you being so nice to me?
01:07Are you going running?
01:10Obviously.
01:32Oh, shit.
01:40That motherfucker.
01:42Court everything for your own sake.
01:44Oh, hi.
01:44Flo told me you were meeting.
01:46Were you looking for me?
01:47No, actually.
01:48I was looking for, um, to schedule our subcommittee
01:50since we had to cancel last night.
01:52Oh, sorry.
01:53I had a therapist's appointment.
01:55Yeah, apparently I don't know how to read the shared calendar.
01:58Um, let's talk.
02:00Us?
02:00Yeah.
02:01Oh.
02:01We can keep checking in, okay?
02:03Yeah.
02:04Thanks, David.
02:06Do you want to just bang out the dates now, or...?
02:10Um...
02:18Later.
02:19When can I find you?
02:20I have a lot of emails.
02:23All right, David.
02:24Excuse me.
02:25Okay.
02:28I just need to get him alone, and then I'll know.
02:31Is the door, as they say, open?
02:45Yeah, close it.
02:47You need to talk?
02:49Mm-hmm.
02:52You got to return the file.
02:54I don't know what you're talking about.
02:56You were in my office.
02:57There's a file missing from a box
02:59that I am supposed to hand in
03:00to the Title IX coordinator for the hearing.
03:03It pertains to Lila Green.
03:08It's very disorganized in here.
03:10By tomorrow.
03:11End of day.
03:12Please.
03:13I'm sorry you misplaced something.
03:15This is not going to go away, okay?
03:16And don't put me in this position.
03:18You missed a button.
03:21I know.
03:30Edwina.
03:31Hi.
03:33I turned in your letter.
03:42Are you kidding me?
03:43Ma'am, the deadline is the deadline.
03:45I have a chronic illness.
03:47I'm sorry, but this is not going to be part of the candidate's package.
03:51You're going to jeopardize the future of a student just because it's one day late?
03:55We did not jeopardize the future of the student, ma'am.
03:58Feel better.
03:59Well, I can't feel better.
04:01Do you not know the definition of chronic?
04:26I just don't think I can have a lot of double breasts.
04:28You can do it.
04:29You have great shoulders.
04:31It's not a front that I'm worried about.
04:34Oh, hi.
04:36Hi.
04:36Yeah, I wanted to see if I could help coordinate with Florence about our subcommittee.
04:41Yes, sorry.
04:42Any time before five that I'm not teaching, I'll make myself available.
04:47Available.
04:48Great.
04:49I'll make a snack.
04:51She makes great snacks.
04:52Well, I love a snack.
04:54Gluten-free.
04:56You remember everything.
04:58Okay, well, I will leave you two to...
05:01Bond.
05:05Wednesday at 3.15.
05:06I'm teaching.
05:07Thursday at 10.30.
05:08I'm teaching.
05:09Thursday afternoon.
05:10I teach then, too.
05:11Friday morning.
05:12It's okay if you can't come to the first session and we can take notes.
05:15Let's find a time that works.
05:16It's not a big thing.
05:17I'm trying to come.
05:18I want you to come.
05:19Let's circle back.
05:20Oh, absolutely.
05:47I want you to come.
05:52Oh, absolutely.
05:53I don't know.
06:42The only way you can finish a book is to delude yourself into thinking that it and you are utterly
06:47brilliant.
06:49Oh, this is quite good.
06:53I can't see it.
06:54Well, I got most of it out.
06:56It's a remnant.
06:56How'd you get this?
06:58Oh, God.
06:59Where were you last night?
07:01A friend.
07:02You know those cock-sucking deer destroyed my whole garden?
07:05I'm sorry that happened.
07:09Marriage.
07:10I gotta use the needle.
07:12No, no, no.
07:13It'll work itself out.
07:14What are you guys doing?
07:15Oh, hi, honey.
07:16What are you doing?
07:17Uh, Alexis sent me some research on Dad's accuser.
07:20Are we talking to Alexis?
07:22Uh-huh.
07:23Did you know Lila Green has a substack?
07:25It's pretty...
07:27People have problems.
07:28Yes, yes, they do, honey.
07:30Um, I have something to tell you.
07:33You burned her file?
07:34I can't go back in time, so what do I do?
07:36Are you insane?
07:38Sid, I need forward movement, please.
07:40What is this?
07:42Well, now that you've done that, you have to go talk to her.
07:45There's no other option.
07:46What is that?
07:47I have one more possibility.
07:49What is your possibility?
07:50Is there no butter?
07:51This fridge looks like it belongs in a horror movie.
07:53What, you're welcome to go to the grocery store.
07:54I hear they let everybody shop there.
07:56And honey, if for any reason it doesn't pan out,
07:59we'll talk to her tomorrow.
08:01Do you promise?
08:02I feel like you're on another planet these days.
08:04Will you come with me?
08:05Yes, I promise.
08:06Which one are you going to?
08:07I don't know.
08:08The one on 19th?
08:08I don't know.
08:09Why?
08:09I have an errand.
08:12Hey, Dawn, I didn't realize it was you.
08:16John, remember?
08:18So, uh, adjuncting just isn't cutting it, or what?
08:21Well, this is how I get my benefits.
08:23It's, I like it.
08:25I get 10% off groceries.
08:27But do I is the question.
08:29Oh, sorry.
08:32Tess.
08:33Oh, yes.
08:34This is my favorite novel.
08:36You know, I was listening to a podcast the other day.
08:38Did you know that Thomas Hardy wrote Tess of the D'Urbervilles
08:41because apparently he got an erection
08:43while watching women being hanged at a public execution?
08:47Oh, wow.
08:48Some say he wrote the entire book as an apology.
08:51That's awful.
08:53Can't be sure if the erection happened,
08:54but I love to think it happened.
08:57Human psyche.
08:58Fucking wild, right?
09:01Well, we've got to get you a second class.
09:04Yeah.
09:05Bye.
09:15How's this feeling?
09:16John, please.
09:18What?
09:19Did you see that?
09:20Get in the car.
09:22Hey.
09:22Oh.
09:22You forgot your phone.
09:24Oh, thanks, Dawn.
09:25Hi, Dawn.
09:26Excuse me, I'm working.
09:38Oh, have I mentioned that I haven't taken advantage
09:42of the agreement between John and myself
09:44for many, many years?
09:47Well, I have not.
09:51Not since...
09:55David.
09:58I brought you this.
10:04Why?
10:05Can we have one honest conversation before we die?
10:09I strive to have many.
10:10Good.
10:12Well...
10:14I loved you and you broke my heart.
10:17This is true.
10:19Oh, God.
10:20What?
10:22No.
10:24Okay.
10:25Okay.
10:25I was ready to leave my husband for you, David.
10:28I waited at that fucking train station for you.
10:31I waited for three hours and you never showed up.
10:35I couldn't do that to my daughter.
10:36Bullshit.
10:37You were just scared of getting into it with your wife.
10:39I didn't handle it the best.
10:40Then, I tried to have fucking coffee or herbal tea with you
10:44and you avoided me for a decade.
10:48Uh-uh.
10:50Okay.
10:50I mean, I'm a grown-up.
10:52I know closure is just a myth believed in by people under 30,
10:55but I gave you a lot of slack.
10:57What do you want?
11:00I don't have the file anymore.
11:02This is a terrible conversation.
11:05I hate this conversation.
11:06Please, can you cover for me, David?
11:09I...
11:09We fucked for three years.
11:12I mean, I thought we were in love.
11:15We were.
11:19You know, I was rereading our old emails.
11:23Again?
11:24I thought you deleted them.
11:26Do you still have that cabin?
11:33I ran it out.
11:34Mostly in the summer or before it gets too cold.
11:37I'm trying to pay off Sid's loans.
11:39What are you asking?
11:41Nothing.
11:42I just remember you.
11:45In that doorway.
11:47That is an image as I get older
11:51that I am glad I have.
11:54And the file?
11:56I can't help you with that.
