the ball drop with Lulu,
178
00:08:14,185 --> 00:08:15,487
but she won't come out
of her room.
179
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,781
Probably something to do
with Steffy.
180
00:08:17,814 --> 00:08:19,282
And so, I opened up a bottle
181
00:08:19,315 --> 00:08:22,669
of your do-not-touch-until-never
wine.
182
00:08:24,571 --> 00:08:26,256
And now I feel better.
183
00:08:28,742 --> 00:08:30,260
-I love you.
184
00:08:36,416 --> 00:08:37,684
-I love you too.
185
00:08:41,171 --> 00:08:42,889
Feel free to apologize
profusely.
186
00:08:42,922 --> 00:08:44,641
-Yeah.
-And maybe next time
187
00:08:44,674 --> 00:08:46,017
bring me those chocolates
I like from the drugstore.
188
00:08:46,051 --> 00:08:49,020
-I am sorry and I apologize
profusely for, um,
189
00:08:49,054 --> 00:08:52,365
disappointing you and
for forgetting our anniversary.
190
00:08:55,101 --> 00:08:56,411
-I forgive you.
191
00:09:02,567 --> 00:09:03,960
[both chuckle]
192
00:09:08,364 --> 00:09:10,091
-It's, like, the big box.
-Yeah.
193
00:09:11,618 --> 00:09:14,054
-Well, happy anniversary.
-Happy anniversary.
194
00:09:15,872 --> 00:09:17,557
-All right. All is forgiven.
195
00:09:21,294 --> 00:09:22,479
Les: Lindy?
196
00:09:25,381 --> 00:09:28,234
Oh, Lindy... [chuckles]

00:09:33,173 --> 00:09:34,157
Lindy?
199
00:09:35,308 --> 00:09:36,993
You got me intrigued.
200
00:09:51,741 --> 00:09:53,927
-Happy anniversary, honey!
201
00:09:54,828 --> 00:09:56,921
-Happy anniversary.
202
00:09:56,955 --> 00:09:58,765
Lindy: Oh, you remembered!
203
00:10:00,250 --> 00:10:03,436
[suspenseful music playing]
204
00:10:06,756 --> 00:10:08,274
-What is that?
205
00:10:09,926 --> 00:10:11,277
-Your surprise.
206
00:10:13,138 --> 00:10:16,733
-Oh. I--it's not
what you think, Les.
207
00:10:16,766 --> 00:10:19,035
-It's exactly what you think.
208
00:10:20,311 --> 00:10:22,906
-Uh, Richard?
Is that really you?
209
00:10:22,939 --> 00:10:23,823
-Yeah.
210
00:10:23,857 --> 00:10:25,325
Richard Paul Wear
211
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,619
from your fucking lab.
212
00:10:27,652 --> 00:10:31,080
-This is not how I foresaw us
having this conversation.
213
00:10:31,114 --> 00:10:33,917
-You and him--and her? What?
214
00:10:33,950 --> 00:10:36,252
You thought we would have
a conversation?
215
00:10:36,286 --> 00:10:37,837
What?
-One day.
216
00:10:37,871 --> 00:10:39,756
As gentlemen.
217
00:10:39,789 --> 00:10:41,132
-How long?
-Forever.
218
00:10:41,166 --> 00:10:43,092
-Six and a half months. Barely.
219
00:10:43,126 --> 00:10:46,262
-Uh, why him?
-He's not you!
220
00:10:46,296 --> 00:10:48,598
-It was a chance encounter.
Um, but you have--
221
00:10:48,631 --> 00:10:49,933
Les: Lindy, how could you?
Because I...
222
00:10:49,966 --> 00:10:51,643
I told you the truth.
223
00:10:51,676 --> 00:10:53,603
I poured my heart out to you.
224
00:10:53,636 --> 00:10:56,147
I was vulnerable.
And now this? Why? Why?
225
00:10:56,181 --> 00:11:00,443
-I did it...on purpose!
226
00:11:00,476 --> 00:11:01,653
-On purpose?
227
00:11:01,686 --> 00:11:03,446
-Yeah, he knows why.
228
00:11:03,479 --> 00:11:04,948
-But you forgave me.
229
00:11:04,981 --> 00:11:07,750
-I lied! [laughs]
230
00:11:10,862 --> 00:11:13,122
-How dare you.
Lindy: How dare me?
231
00:11:13,156 --> 00:11:16,459
So, you can lie,
leave a voice note, and what?
232
00:11:16,492 --> 00:11:17,794
You're Abraham Lincoln?
233
00:11:17,827 --> 00:11:21,130
-You baited me
on a voice note,
234
00:11:21,164 --> 00:11:24,133
and then you exploited
our wedding anniversary,
235
00:11:24,167 --> 00:11:25,635
and then you reveal
you're having an affair
236
00:11:25,668 --> 00:11:27,303
with my physicist?
237
00:11:27,337 --> 00:11:28,680
How is that the same?
238
00:11:28,713 --> 00:11:32,141
-It's not.
It's meant to be worse!
239
00:11:32,175 --> 00:11:34,185
-I was lying to be kind...
240
00:11:34,219 --> 00:11:35,520
-No, no.
-...to spare your feelings.
241
00:11:35,553 --> 00:11:37,647
-A lie is a lie!
242
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:40,066
-As someone who has been
lied to as well.
243
00:11:40,099 --> 00:11:42,986
-You! You're my colleague.
-Yes.
244
00:11:43,019 --> 00:11:44,571
Les: That's my wife.
-I know.
245
00:11:44,604 --> 00:11:46,489
-Richard,
what in the name of science?
246
00:11:46,522 --> 00:11:48,491

[laughing]
251
00:12:04,707 --> 00:12:08,928
-This is not fucking funny!
252
00:12:08,962 --> 00:12:12,056
-You're holding a pillow
over your tiny junk.
253
00:12:12,090 --> 00:12:13,391
It's so tiny.
254
00:12:13,424 --> 00:12:15,351
You're both so tiny.
255
00:12:15,385 --> 00:12:16,894
Oop, there's the tiny bum.
256
00:12:16,928 --> 00:12:19,188
That's so cute.
Lindy: Fuck you!
257
00:12:19,222 --> 00:12:21,524
I am gonna fucking kill you!
258
00:12:21,557 --> 00:12:24,527
-Oh, yeah? Try.
-I'm fucking--you're a liar!
259
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:26,529
You lied!
-What's that?
260
00:12:26,562 --> 00:12:28,197
Did you say something?
-I--fuck you!
261
00:12:28,231 --> 00:12:32,460
You made me this way!
I fucking hate you!
262
00:12:33,778 --> 00:12:37,540
-I think you dropped this.
-Fuck you!
263
00:12:37,573 --> 00:12:39,250
-Are you tap dancing?
264
00:12:39,284 --> 00:12:41,544
-No. Fuck you. Fuck you.
265
00:12:41,577 --> 00:12:44,097
-Hey, hey, I think
this has gone far enough.
266
00:12:45,248 --> 00:12:47,383
-You know what, Richard?
267
00:12:47,417 --> 00:12:49,135
I think you're right.
268

-Hold on.
270
00:13:01,931 --> 00:13:04,400
This is not good.
-Oh, you think? You think?
271
00:13:04,434 --> 00:13:06,569
I can't believe
you did this on purpose.
272
00:13:06,602 --> 00:13:08,404
On purpose?
Why would you do that?
273
00:13:08,438 --> 00:13:10,448
-You don't--Richard, hey, hey.
-Oh, my God. I feel sick.
274
00:13:10,481 --> 00:13:13,076
-This is not about you, okay?
-Where is my mom?
275

we gotta talk about this.
278

Les, please.
279
00:13:19,949 --> 00:13:21,250
No man could've resisted
280

The hypnotic allure
of that brunch.
283
00:13:27,623 --> 00:13:30,093
She deceived me!
She deceived both of us!

00:13:30,126 --> 00:13:31,928
-No.
285
00:13:31,961 --> 00:13:36,349
You deceived me, Richard,
for six and a half months.

We share thoughts,
we share science.

We do not share my wife.
289

00:17:12,765 --> 00:17:13,991
What is she...?
356
00:17:15,893 --> 00:17:17,904
Jenna: Good morning.
We recently featured
357
00:17:17,937 --> 00:17:20,239
Pulitzer Prize-winning author
Lindy Littlejohn
358
00:17:20,273 --> 00:17:22,742
on the Read with Jenna
segment of our show.
359
00:17:22,775 --> 00:17:25,411
We've learned Lindy's
been accused of plagiarizing
360
00:17:25,444 --> 00:17:27,455
her recently published
New Yorker short story,
361
00:17:27,488 --> 00:17:29,373
"Untitled on Purpose."
362
00:17:29,407 --> 00:17:32,084
The shocking allegation
originated from an unexpected
363
00:17:32,118 --> 00:17:34,879
and personal place,
a viral TikTok video
364
00:17:34,912 --> 00:17:36,923
posted by the author's
own daughter...
365
00:17:36,956 --> 00:17:38,925
-[gasps]
-...Louise Littlejohn.
366
00:17:38,958 --> 00:17:43,262
-So, my mom is a, quote,
"successful writer," unquote.
367
00:17:43,296 --> 00:17:45,806
-Lulu!
-She wrote one book
368
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,558
150 years ago.
369
00:17:47,592 --> 00:17:50,603
Anyway, this week,
out of nowhere,
370
00:17:50,636 --> 00:17:53,397
Mom drops a short story
in The New Yorker?
371
00:17:53,431 --> 00:17:56,108
And everyone loses
their [bleep] over it.
372
00:17:56,142 --> 00:17:59,946
Well, I'm gonna let you in
on a big secret.
373
00:17:59,979 --> 00:18:02,740
My mom didn't write it.
374
00:18:02,773 --> 00:18:05,576
She stole it from one
of her students.
375
00:18:05,610 --> 00:18:07,244
-What the actual fuck?
Lulu: The truth is, my mom
376
00:18:07,278 --> 00:18:08,746
doesn't even write anymore.
377
00:18:08,779 --> 00:18:10,414
She spends her days
watching Housewives
378
00:18:10,448 --> 00:18:12,249
and making fake
Paris Review accounts
379
00:18:12,283 --> 00:18:13,918
so she can [bleep] talk
other writers.
380
00:18:13,951 --> 00:18:15,586
-You...
381
00:18:15,620 --> 00:18:17,296
Jenna: We were unable
to reach Lindy Littlejohn
382
00:18:17,330 --> 00:18:19,590
directly for comment,
but we were able to reach
383
00:18:19,624 --> 00:18:22,760
the author's mother,
Diane McMichael Jones,
384
00:18:22,793 --> 00:18:24,929
who is widely suspected
to have inspired
385
00:18:24,962 --> 00:18:26,931
the mother character
in her daughter's
386
00:18:26,964 --> 00:18:29,016
Pulitzer Prize-winning
debut novel,
387
00:18:29,050 --> 00:18:31,310
My Rainbow Starts with Black.
388
00:18:31,344 --> 00:18:32,987
-No, I have no comment.
389
00:18:35,056 --> 00:18:36,857
Except to say,
390
00:18:36,891 --> 00:18:39,527
I haven't read
Lindy's little story.
391
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,529
But I will say, I didn't care
for her portrayal
392
00:18:41,562 --> 00:18:43,322
of the mother character
in her novel.
393
00:18:43,356 --> 00:18:44,323
-[moaning]
394
00:18:44,357 --> 00:18:46,325
-The real crime
is that Lindy made me out
395
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,004
to be a terrible mother,
which I'm not.
396
00:18:51,739 --> 00:18:53,833
Jenna: What a wild,
unexpected turn
397
00:18:53,866 --> 00:18:55,292
for Lindy Littlejohn.
398
00:18:55,326 --> 00:18:56,711
We'll continue
to follow this story
399
00:18:56,744 --> 00:18:59,180
and keep you updated
as it develops.
400
00:19:02,750 --> 00:19:05,219
Lulu [on video]: I'm gonna
let you in on a big secret.
401
00:19:05,252 --> 00:19:07,722
My mom didn't write it.
402
00:19:07,755 --> 00:19:10,766
She stole it
from one of her students.
403
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,269
The truth is, my mom
doesn't even write anymore.

408
00:19:20,851 --> 00:19:22,403
-Oh, sorry.
I didn't hear my name.
409
00:19:22,436 --> 00:19:23,779
-I didn't call it.
410
00:19:23,813 --> 00:19:25,614
I want to bring it
to you personally.
411
00:19:25,648 --> 00:19:27,324

But you can tell me.

00:24:55,811 --> 00:24:57,454
-A former client.
531
00:24:59,314 --> 00:25:00,374
-Terry...
532
00:25:01,358 --> 00:25:02,710
-Brutal but warranted.
533
00:25:03,177 --> 00:25:04,912
-Lindy, I tried.
I really tried,
534
00:25:04,945 --> 00:25:07,247
but I'm somehow still clean
in this, this, this...
535
00:25:07,281 --> 00:25:09,416
-Shit storm, shit sandwich,
a shitnado.
536
00:25:09,450 --> 00:25:10,968
-...shitnado.
537
00:25:11,368 --> 00:25:12,669
I warned you, Lindy,
538
00:25:12,703 --> 00:25:15,089
and you chose Jenna over me.
539
00:25:15,122 --> 00:25:18,509
Over our friendship,
our partnership.
540
00:25:18,542 --> 00:25:20,761
I can't--I can't believe
I'm saying this,
541
00:25:20,794 --> 00:25:22,805
but I, I...
542
00:25:22,838 --> 00:25:24,815
[driving music playing]
543
00:25:28,552 --> 00:25:30,571
I'm officially
cutting ties with you.
544
00:25:31,638 --> 00:25:32,823
Lindy: Terry...
545
00:25:33,807 --> 00:25:35,484
please. No.
546
00:25:35,517 --> 00:25:37,111
Please don't leave me. I...
547
00:25:37,144 --> 00:25:38,946
I have no one.
548
00:25:38,979 --> 00:25:41,281
I am totally alone here.
549
00:25:41,315 --> 00:25:45,119
I, uh--my own mother,
my daughter, my husband,
550
00:25:45,152 --> 00:25:46,537
Les fuckin' hates me.
551
00:25:46,570 --> 00:25:49,957
Uh, it is truly over
between us now,
552
00:25:49,990 --> 00:25:52,843
and I can't lose you, too.
553
00:25:55,329 --> 00:25:57,172
Terry:
I'm sorry it's come to this.
554
00:25:57,206 --> 00:25:58,715
[disconnected tone]
555

[dramatic music playing]
556
00:26:09,259 --> 00:26:11,353
-Hey, you had to.
I know it's hard.
557
00:26:11,386 --> 00:26:12,696
I'll miss her, too.
558
00:26:13,530 --> 00:26:15,816
Oh, um, Ms. Holden,
Happy New Year.
559
00:26:15,849 --> 00:26:17,401
-Nothing happy, nothing new.
560
00:26:17,434 --> 00:26:19,203
Why did you offer
a Jackie Baldwin
561
00:26:19,536 --> 00:26:22,156
a six-figure book deal
when I've seen no Jackie,
562
00:26:22,189 --> 00:26:24,241
no book,
no email, no proposal?
563
00:26:24,274 --> 00:26:26,326
-Cyd, she is the next
big thing.
564
00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:27,995
-Yeah, well,
you better hope so.
565
00:26:28,028 --> 00:26:31,215
No Lindy,
no Jackie, no imprint.
566
00:26:33,909 --> 00:26:35,385
-Love the top. [chuckles]
567
00:26:36,703 --> 00:26:38,222
Paper trail, you're unclean.
568
00:26:39,289 --> 00:26:40,474
-So are you.
569
00:26:41,416 --> 00:26:42,726
-Fuck.

Hilton: Yeah.
573
00:27:00,269 --> 00:27:04,790
-Now, I need a volunteer.
574
00:27:07,651 --> 00:27:08,669
Sir.
575
00:27:09,102 --> 00:27:12,214
[music continues]
576
00:27:24,126 --> 00:27:27,563
-That's fantastisch.
That's wonderful.
577
00:27:28,839 --> 00:27:31,016
The corn has been miniaturized
578
00:27:31,049 --> 00:27:34,978
into what appears to be
one-tenth its original size.
579
00:27:35,012 --> 00:27:37,773
-One-twelfth, to be precise.
580
00:27:37,806 --> 00:27:39,074
And now...
581
00:27:40,392 --> 00:27:42,828
[music continues]

-I did not expect...

-Two-minute warning.
-Not now.
586
00:28:07,377 --> 00:28:09,638
-These are serious
implications, you know.
587
00:28:09,671 --> 00:28:11,306
You must be--
-Dr. Littlejohn,
588
00:28:11,340 --> 00:28:12,975
it's been
an explosive evening.
589
00:28:13,008 --> 00:28:14,693
-Sir, uh...
590
00:28:17,721 --> 00:28:20,365
-Quick, the corn, go.
591
00:28:24,728 --> 00:28:26,321
-Here we are.
I was just saying
592
00:28:26,355 --> 00:28:29,825
to, um, Dr. Schaffhausen,
who was expecting an explosion,
593
00:28:29,858 --> 00:28:32,578
how clever it was that
we mitigated the explosion
594
00:28:32,611 --> 00:28:34,830
by storing the exothermally
generated energy
595
00:28:34,863 --> 00:28:36,540
on a subatomic level.
596
00:28:36,573 --> 00:28:37,833
Vivienne: Yes,
it was an explosive...
597
00:28:37,866 --> 00:28:39,334
[explodes]
[Janet screams]
598
00:28:39,368 --> 00:28:40,385
-...discovery.
599
00:28:44,206 --> 00:28:46,008
-To an explosive New Year!
600
00:28:46,041 --> 00:28:47,259
man: Yeah!
601
00:28:47,292 --> 00:28:50,729

I've hit rock bottom.
605
00:29:06,561 --> 00:29:08,246
It's all fucking gone.
606
00:29:10,816 --> 00:29:12,584
What is the point?
607
00:29:14,903 --> 00:29:16,088
[whirring stops]
608
00:29:20,242 --> 00:29:21,301
[gasps]
609
00:29:22,411 --> 00:29:24,630
Richie, you're alive.
610
00:29:24,663 --> 00:29:26,048
Oh, my God.
611
00:29:26,081 --> 00:29:27,641
-No, no, no. You disgust me.
612
00:29:29,084 --> 00:29:31,553
I-I mean it. I'm disgusted.
613
00:29:31,586 --> 00:29:33,096
It consumes me.
614
00:29:33,130 --> 00:29:37,392
My heart, my mind, my soul,
everything hurts.
615
00:29:37,426 --> 00:29:39,895
-Richie.
Oh, God, I'm so sorry.
616
00:29:39,928 --> 00:29:41,563
But I--
-But...
617
00:29:41,596 --> 00:29:43,365
-Well, but--
-But...
618
00:29:44,933 --> 00:29:48,120
a true apology should never
include a qualifier.
619
00:29:48,979 --> 00:29:50,288
-You're right.
620
00:29:50,722 --> 00:29:52,741
I'm sorry. No but.
621
00:29:52,774 --> 00:29:54,793
What I did was inexcusable.
622
00:29:56,778 --> 00:29:59,289
I had no idea Les
was gonna react like that.
623
00:29:59,323 --> 00:30:01,458
I didn't think it through.
I...
624
00:30:01,491 --> 00:30:03,794
-I suppose a reaction
of that magnitude
625
00:30:03,827 --> 00:30:05,012
couldn't have been predicted.
626
00:30:05,379 --> 00:30:07,055
-I, uh, I need you...
627
00:30:08,332 --> 00:30:09,633
now more than ever.
628
00:30:09,666 --> 00:30:13,136
You have no idea
what has happened to me.
629
00:30:13,170 --> 00:30:14,179
-What happened...
-I--
630
00:30:14,212 --> 00:30:15,347
-...to you?
631
00:30:15,380 --> 00:30:17,316
-Uh, yeah. The--this--
632
00:30:18,300 --> 00:30:19,768
-I have the floor.
633
00:30:19,801 --> 00:30:21,019
-Okay.
634
00:30:21,053 --> 00:30:22,771
-I'm gonna finish
my monologue.
635
00:30:22,804 --> 00:30:24,189
-Of course.
636
00:30:24,222 --> 00:30:27,192
-I was forced to do
unspeakable things
637
00:30:27,225 --> 00:30:28,985
to one of God's
beloved creatures.
638
00:30:29,019 --> 00:30:32,823
I was coerced into abandoning
my moral code
639
00:30:32,856 --> 00:30:35,784
and playing a part
in your marital folly,
640
00:30:35,817 --> 00:30:37,919
but I am not above reproach.
641
00:30:39,029 --> 00:30:40,664
I am guilty on two counts.
642
00:30:40,697 --> 00:30:42,207
One, in the name of love,
643
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:47,045
and the other,
in the name of science.
644
00:30:47,079 --> 00:30:48,714
I believe in Les.
645
00:30:48,747 --> 00:30:51,967
I believe he'll solve
the restoration formula
646
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,635
before his 30-day deadline.
647
00:30:53,668 --> 00:30:56,021
And I will beg him...
648
00:30:57,714 --> 00:30:59,391
to forgive me,
649
00:30:59,424 --> 00:31:02,811
then I will throw myself
at the mercy of science
650
00:31:02,844 --> 00:31:06,198
in the hopes of being restored
to my regular size.
651
00:31:09,518 --> 00:31:12,287
-Did you say
30-day deadline?
652
00:31:14,189 --> 00:31:15,907
-That is what you heard?
-No.
653
00:31:15,941 --> 00:31:17,659
No, I heard, uh--
I heard it all.
654
00:31:17,692 --> 00:31:21,872
The folly, and the Les,
and the--uh, but what--
655
00:31:21,905 --> 00:31:22,998
-But?
-But...
656
00:31:23,031 --> 00:31:24,166
-But?
-But what the fuck
657
00:31:24,199 --> 00:31:25,751
is the 30-day deadline?
658
00:31:25,784 --> 00:31:27,335
-According to the contract,
659
00:31:27,369 --> 00:31:30,547
Les has 30 days
to solve the formula
660
00:31:30,580 --> 00:31:33,675
or he's fired and the tech
reverts to Hilton.
661
00:31:33,708 --> 00:31:36,561
He has 22 days left.
662
00:31:38,922 --> 00:31:41,683
-He only ever had 30 days?
663
00:31:41,716 --> 00:31:43,101
And now he only has...
664
00:31:43,135 --> 00:31:45,270
-Twenty-two.
-Oh, my God.
665
00:31:45,303 --> 00:31:47,489
-Oh, it's closer to 21,
actually.
666
00:31:48,557 --> 00:31:50,942
-Another fuckin' lie!
667
00:31:50,976 --> 00:31:53,069
-Oh, my golly.

-Wait. Where are you going?

00:31:54,729 --> 00:31:58,125
-I need space from you.
-Okay. But...

00:31:59,609 --> 00:32:01,670
-I'm getting my own place.
