00:28You
00:37Nice doing business with you
00:38You too
00:43What?
00:44You have NRE
00:46What's that?
00:47New relationship energy
00:48Don't start with that
00:50Do you want a drink?
00:52Definitely
01:04I'll return them
01:25Lila?
01:26Hi
01:26Hi
01:27Do you want to come in?
01:31Is 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?
01:55What's that?
01:56Nothing
01:57She just gave that to you?
01:58Nope
01:58Can 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
02:22Mom 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
02:30You knew of my financial situation so when you prevented me from getting a Negronberg scholarship
02:34I didn't prevent her from anything
02:35I didn't prevent her from a single thing
02:37You knew I would have to drop out
02:37You told me you didn't know any of dad's accusers
02:41If you are unwilling to recognize the harm you caused
02:44Recognize me?
02:45What does that mean?
02:46I will have no choice but to bring your actions to the attention of the hearing committee
02:48Why did you lie to me?
02:50I don't know
02:51Oh honey
02:52You 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
03:01Retaliation is actually illegal
03:08What time did you leave Cornell?
03:10Like I don't know 3am
03:11You and your friend have a fight?
03:14No 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
03:29No no don't be dumb mom you're not going to go to jail
03:32Well you said illegal you could lose your job for sure
03:36But I think 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
03:57Are 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
04:19Good
04:20Say hi to your colleague for me
04:22Hope you like the pumps
04:30I love that dress
04:33Esteemed madam professors
04:35May I humbly invite you to our acapella soiree air this Friday Eve
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
04:49Actually
04:50Not anymore
04:51Right
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
04:59And I couldn't get off the phone fast enough
05:05We'll see how long he lasts
05:08You don't think he will?
05:09You know how these hot shot writers come from the city
05:11Thinking they can coast
05:12But then it's like buckle up bingo
05:14It's a hell of a lot of work
05:17Pree
05:19When you were head of the Meckleburg Selection Committee
05:22Do you remember the year that 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
05:33It would have been understandable
05:34No
05:35Don't say that
05:36What were you supposed to do?
05:37You fucked my husband?
05:39Here's your pride?
05:39No
05:40I would never hold that against someone
05:42It's only about the work
05:43And the work was subpar
05:44Do you like improv comedy?
05:46No
05:47We kept records
05:48They're probably in a storage closet
05:50Department is so
05:51Goddammit
05:53What's the word?
05:54When you're not digital
05:55You're
05:56Analog
05:56Motherfucker
05:57Yes
05:58We are so
05:59Analog
06:00Oh my god
06:01Stop it
06:03Now they
06:04Have sex
06:08Yes
06:08They do
06:10Wow
06:19Hi
06:19Oh hi
06:20You have
06:22Some dust in here
06:25Classic
06:29Am I in your way?
06:32Binder clips
06:35Oh
06:36Beep
06:37Beep
06:38Rubber bins
06:43John
06:44Other than the storage closet
06:46Where else would they keep the scholarship files?
06:48Beats me
06:49What are you doing?
06:50They're under no obligation to share evidence
06:52So I exploited Dodd's old text
06:53No
06:53We said that she wouldn't be involved
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
07:01But get out your courtly blues
07:03If you're planning on coming
07:04Of course she's coming
07:05I'll put it in my calendar
07:08Are you drinking?
07:10A beer
07:11It's five o'clock
07:12No
07:12No
07:13It is 4.45
07:15She just opened it
07:16Your daughter is drinking in the middle of the day
07:18Because 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
07:25The point is
07:25These prove
07:27That their relationships were consensual
07:28And nobody suffered professionally or academically because of dad
07:32Thank you
07:33Except
07:34Lila
07:37Oh
07:38I'm the liability now?
07:40Everything they have on dad is conjecture
07:43And if you just apologize to this Lila person
07:45Then they have nothing
07:46I have nothing to apologize for
07:48I would never penalize a student for personal reasons
07:51Mom
07:52Don't be stubborn
07:52If you just apologize she's gonna 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 gonna be publicly humiliated
08:05So can you just please lay off
08:07Where are you going?
08:09Yoga
08:13Don't rub your sty honey
08:37Are you writing again?
08:44I thought you were asleep
08:46When do I get to read it?
08:47Well
08:50You 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
09:06Please understand
09:08That all I am doing right now
09:10Is looking at stuff from 10 or 20 or even 30 years ago
09:15You understand how hard that is?
09:17Remember me 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
09:35It's David's office now
09:37Just go and he's not there
09:39I'll give you my key
09:40He's drowning
09:41The department is in chaos
09:44That storage closet was a horror show
09:50Well hello there
09:55Oh my hair
09:57Harder
09:58Oh my hair
10:29A twist
10:31A 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.
11:27I'm attracted to femininity, even if there's penises.
11:33Yeah.
11:35Sounds like you're going through a lot, man.
11:37Yeah, so I'm not going to have that paper for you by tomorrow.
11:42Okay.
11:44Do 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, Erin.
11:57Hi, Erin.
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.
12:12Yes, ma'am.
12:14Yes, I did.
12:15Oh, I meant to ask.
12:16Did I leave my bathing suit at your house?
12:18Hmm.
12:19I'll...
12:20I'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 that.
12:48Oh, you have to go.
12:50I mean, I'm struggling to find time to write.
12:52And, you know, I figured 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.
13:19But 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 all too provincial.
13:30Well, there are worse places.
13:36I was on my way to your office, actually.
13:38Oh, yes.
13:39Because, sorry, the letter of recommendation is...
13:41Oh, for Brown.
13:42Yes, I'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.
14:21Maybe 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.
14:31And 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.
14:49But I'm an adult.
14:50And you're an adult.
14:52Mom's an adult.
14:53Your students were adults.
14:54Alexis is an adult.
14:55Everybody is an adult.
14:56That's my perspective.
14:58So, I don't know.
14:59Let'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.
15:14Silence, please.
15:15I'm trying to sleep.
15:18Didn't get your hit today.
15:19John, stop.
15:22Oh.
15:25Sid says you were the deciding vote.
15:30And that you need to put back the file.
15:46David?
15:47Oh.
15:48Hey, lady.
15:50What are you doing here?
15:52I came to write in Vlad's office, but then I took some melatonin gummies.
15:57Because I thought that might help shift my inescapable reality, but I just fell asleep.
16:02What are you doing here?
16:04Uh, what am I doing?
16:05Um, I, um, I borrowed a book from David, and I just, I 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.
16:29Yup.
16:30Uh, I found out that morning he told the hiring committee about my suicide attempt.
16:36In his interview.
16:38Oh.
16:40You didn't know that?
16:42No.
16:44But you did, didn't you?
16:46Yeah.
16:49So everybody knows, right?
16:50There are students on that committee?
16:53Um, well, um, you know, they sit in on interviews, but don't worry.
17:01The students love mental health.
17:03It probably raised you in their esteem.
17:04Yeah.
17:05Nothing cooler than an adjunct in recovery who once threw her own shit at a Bellevue orderly.
17:19Did he deserve it?
17:23Can I get your opinion on something?
17:27You scored her generously, in my opinion.
17:30Yeah, but not as well as the other person, and when she didn't get the scholarship, she 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?
17:39Glad and I are in so much debt, I can't see straight.
17:42Oh, sorry.
17:43You okay?
17:44Oh, yeah.
17:45Sorry.
17:45These pants are just a little up there.
17:48You know what I mean?
17:49I actually like that.
17:51Reminds me something exists in that region.
17:54Look, I think that she used not getting it as an excuse.
17:59Well, she was hurt.
18:02Doesn't matter.
18:03I just have to prepare for the consequences.
18:07Or not.
18:10And then she destroyed the evidence.
18:15Oh, look what you made me do.
18:27You know, John was in the same position as you when we started.
18:31Well, I was full time.
18:32He was an adjunct.
18:34One class.
18:35And he worked his way up all the way to chair.
18:39How?
18:40John's very savvy.
18:44But did they just, like, promote him, or...?
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.
18:58You don't wish that?
19:00No, I do.
19:01I mean, not students, because 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 to have an affair.
19:20Would he?
19:22No.
19:23No.
19:25Well...
19:26I don't know.
19:29Maybe.
19:52You came!
19:54Well, thanks to you.
19:55And...
19:55Stop it.
19:56You know, I've been so up my own ass recently.
19:58And, uh, needed you to slap some sense into me.
20:04By the way, I, uh, read the first chapter of your book.
20:07And?
20:08I'm so fucking jealous.
20:12I think everyone is assembled, so, uh...
20:15Hey, babe.
20:15Shall we get started?
20:16Hi.
20:17Later.
20:17Hi.
20:19Okay, I'm assuming you all reviewed the faculty goals for this academic year.
20:23So, any feedback?
20:23Well, I just want to make sure everyone received them.
20:25Well, no, actually...
20:26There were an attachment on the email.
20:27I, I didn't receive the email.
20:29This is the second time now.
20:30Did you check your spam?
20:31No, I...
20:32No, it's a, clearly a distribution-less issue, once again.
20:36If the adjuncts aren't getting it, then we're...
20:38We're gonna try the original to a parody.
20:41I'm gonna talk about this.
20:48Oh...
20:54Oh, oh, oh, oh.
20:59Go!
21:01Go!
21:03Go!
21:04Go!
21:05Go!
21:05Go!
21:05Go!
21:06Go!
21:07Go!
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.
21:36So, any volunteers?
21:48Um, I'll join.
21:51Great.
21:52Well, I might as well join, too.
21:54Okay.
22:00So, when should we meet?
22:02Oh, well, listen, my life is bonkers, but I'm free tonight. It's short notice, I know.
22:06Tonight? I'm up for it.
22:08Well, you're up for anything, Flo.
22:09You know it, girl.
22:11Mm-hmm.
22:11What about you?
22:12Um, 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. All right, see you later.
22:29Are you stealing my clothes? No, Dad's. Need to look sharp.
22:34Are you going out again? Are you going out again? Is that allowed? Did you put the file back?
22:40Is that my shirt? Yes. And no one saw you? Nope.
22:43Try not to puke in it, please.
22:44So funny, Dad. My car's here. Are you meeting a friend? Sort of. Love you.
22:53Thank you, Tim.
22:58Were 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. You look pretty. Careful. You always care too much, and then you screw it up.
23:18Oh, 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.
23:43Uh-huh.
23:49Uh-huh.
24:09John, right?
24:11Glad you reached out.
24:13What are you drinking?
24:17Uh...
24:18Uh-huh.
24:22Uh-huh.
24:23Uh-huh.
24:33Ah-huh.
24:34Fucking splinter.
24:52He's reading my book.
25:06He's reading my book.
26:03He's reading my book.
26:25He's reading my book.
27:02He's reading my book.
27:32He's reading my book.
27:59He's reading my book.
28:29He's reading my book.
29:01He's reading my book.
29:31He's reading my book.
29:54He's reading my book.
