1
00:00:45,879 --> 00:00:49,669
- Can I watch <i>Star Wars</i> tonight?
- Yes, we can watch <i>Star Wars.</i>

2
00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:52,719
I need to choose a charity
for my mitzvah project.

3
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:56,259
Oh, yeah. Right, right, right.
Maybe something with animals?

4
00:00:57,849 --> 00:00:59,559
- That's a good idea.
- Yeah.

5
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:01,059
Dogs, rescue...

6
00:01:01,061 --> 00:01:02,401
- Yeah.
- I could do rescue.

7
00:01:02,395 --> 00:01:04,015
It's a good idea.
We'll look it up.

8
00:01:04,022 --> 00:01:07,282
Speaking of projects, how are you
coming with your STEM projects?

9
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,780
<i>In the days that followed,</i>

10
00:01:08,777 --> 00:01:11,567
<i>Toby found his thoughts
returning to the museum,</i>

11
00:01:11,821 --> 00:01:13,781
<i>but not to Vantablack.</i>

12
00:01:13,948 --> 00:01:18,408
<i>To his favorite permanent exhibit,
the Hall of Human Origins.</i>

13
00:01:20,371 --> 00:01:22,251
<i>Once, we had no language.</i>

14
00:01:22,499 --> 00:01:26,709
<i>Just the raw materials of heartbeat,
some body hair and a couple of thumbs.</i>

15
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,590
<i>And then, we walked.
And then, we cooked.</i>

16
00:01:29,589 --> 00:01:31,509
<i>And then, we sent our children to camp.</i>

17
00:01:31,716 --> 00:01:35,846
<i>And then, we had iPhones and schools
and hospitals and toenail clippers.</i>

18
00:01:36,054 --> 00:01:40,064
<i>Humans were built for survival.
He'd forgotten that this summer.</i>

19
00:01:41,851 --> 00:01:43,061
<i>But now, he remembered.</i>

20
00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:50,070
<i>To survive is to evolve.
To evolve is to move forward.</i>

21
00:01:51,152 --> 00:01:53,912
<i>And to move forward, is to recover.</i>

22
00:02:02,831 --> 00:02:05,381
{\an8}<i>His recovery was slow at first.</i>

23
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:07,670
{\an8}I got the kids
an appointment to see a therapist.

24
00:02:07,669 --> 00:02:10,459
{\an8}They need to speak to someone.
They're too worried about me

25
00:02:10,463 --> 00:02:12,053
{\an8}and I feel like
they can't really be honest

26
00:02:12,048 --> 00:02:13,878
{\an8}- with how they feel, you know?
- Yeah.

27
00:02:14,467 --> 00:02:18,557
{\an8}I'm not a "go to therapy guy,"
but I think you should go to therapy.

28
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,230
{\an8}- These shades are melded to the wall.
- No, I know. It's insane.

29
00:02:22,225 --> 00:02:24,635
{\an8}Honestly, I don't even know
what talking would do anymore.

30
00:02:24,644 --> 00:02:26,604
{\an8}I believe in therapy,
don't get me wrong.

31
00:02:26,604 --> 00:02:28,484
{\an8}I saw someone
right after we got separated.

32
00:02:28,481 --> 00:02:30,611
{\an8}But, I don't know,
I wanna move into the future

33
00:02:30,608 --> 00:02:33,488
{\an8}and I can't do that
if I keep talking about the past.

34
00:02:34,445 --> 00:02:37,155
{\an8} Shit.

35
00:02:37,365 --> 00:02:40,825
{\an8}Toby, for real.
Man, I can't remove these.

36
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:44,327
{\an8}They're welded into the skeleton
of the building.

37
00:02:44,330 --> 00:02:46,170
{\an8}The building will not let them go.

38
00:02:46,166 --> 00:02:48,876
- I'm nothing without you, blinds.
- Not without my blinds.

39
00:02:48,877 --> 00:02:51,797
- You want my blinds?
- You can't handle my blinds!

40
00:02:53,047 --> 00:02:55,127
- Hey.
- Yeah?

41
00:02:55,133 --> 00:02:57,393
- So, I've been meaning to tell you...
- Yeah?

42
00:02:58,970 --> 00:03:00,220
I'm gonna pop the question.

43
00:03:00,972 --> 00:03:04,932
{\an8}- I'm sorry. Wait, what?
- Yes. I've been thinking about it a lot.

44
00:03:04,934 --> 00:03:08,774
{\an8}The day Vanessa and I watched Bubbles,
I got this text from a headhunter,

45
00:03:08,771 --> 00:03:11,401
{\an8}and she saw it,
and so, I told her everything.

46
00:03:11,399 --> 00:03:13,569
{\an8}And it was all fine.

47
00:03:13,693 --> 00:03:17,163
{\an8}She understood, she wasn't angry,
and I thought, like,

48
00:03:17,155 --> 00:03:21,195
{\an8}'What kind of person doesn't want that?"
Like, I get it now.

49
00:03:21,326 --> 00:03:23,076
{\an8}Sorry. I'm just so surprised.

50
00:03:23,077 --> 00:03:26,367
{\an8}I don't know, I just got here.
We were gonna have so much fun together.

51
00:03:26,372 --> 00:03:29,132
{\an8}Yeah, it was that night,
but my life is empty

52
00:03:29,125 --> 00:03:31,375
{\an8}and I'm getting more and more desperate.

53
00:03:31,377 --> 00:03:33,917
You are not desperate.
You are the king of the city.

54
00:03:33,922 --> 00:03:35,092
The king of the night.

55
00:03:35,089 --> 00:03:37,589
I'm just a guy who's getting older
and hasn't settled.

56
00:03:37,592 --> 00:03:40,802
{\an8}And I would like a place.
I would like to belong to people.

57
00:03:41,012 --> 00:03:43,222
Really? I don't. I did and I don't.

58
00:03:43,223 --> 00:03:46,273
Marriage is no guarantee of anything.

59
00:03:46,392 --> 00:03:49,272
You still have a family, you know?

60
00:03:49,437 --> 00:03:50,897
I kept looking at you that night

61
00:03:50,897 --> 00:03:53,607
{\an8}and thinking how lucky you were
to have a family,

62
00:03:53,608 --> 00:03:55,778
and wondering
what my life might look like to you.

63
00:03:57,195 --> 00:04:00,235
Uh... Amazing? It looked amazing.
It was amazing.

64
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,080
Yeah, I guess.

65
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,290
I don't know that I wanna be
the guy you save

66
00:04:04,285 --> 00:04:06,325
for a night out when you need it.

67
00:04:06,329 --> 00:04:08,409
- That's not what I was saying.
- I know.

68
00:04:08,414 --> 00:04:11,834
But those guys
are 10 years younger than me. More even.

69
00:04:11,834 --> 00:04:14,924
And Brian's gonna marry the next person
he dates, that's how it is.

70
00:04:14,921 --> 00:04:19,471
I'm just gonna be this guy that
you can't really pin down. I'm suspect.

71
00:04:19,467 --> 00:04:21,467
Look at me. I'm divorced. This is...

72
00:04:21,469 --> 00:04:25,269
Yeah, but you still made it through.
You passed some sort of vetting process.

73
00:04:25,265 --> 00:04:29,225
At some point in time, you were part
of the establishment and you still are.

74
00:04:29,394 --> 00:04:32,864
I'm just here, still worried about
getting invited to Thanksgiving dinner.

75
00:04:32,855 --> 00:04:34,395
I'll invite you to Thanksgiving dinner.

76
00:04:34,524 --> 00:04:35,984
No, I have plenty of invitations,

77
00:04:35,984 --> 00:04:38,654
but they do require me
being a wantable, you know?

78
00:04:38,653 --> 00:04:40,613
I'm saying that
that is not the same thing

79
00:04:40,613 --> 00:04:41,913
as belonging somewhere.

80
00:04:41,906 --> 00:04:44,236
I have no unconditional invitations
in my life.

81
00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:48,540
You could be happy for me.
I was happy for you.

82
00:04:51,374 --> 00:04:52,634
I'm sorry, man.

83
00:04:52,625 --> 00:04:54,745
I don't know what to say.
I can't do this.

84
00:04:54,752 --> 00:04:56,002
I know, I tried all day.

85
00:04:56,004 --> 00:04:58,764
It actually brought me great shame
to even call you for help.

86
00:05:00,508 --> 00:05:03,298
Do you think if we were gentiles,
we could pull this off?

87
00:05:03,303 --> 00:05:06,683
Maybe Bubbles could do it.
Bubbles, you're not Jewish, are you?

88
00:05:06,681 --> 00:05:09,391
I won't be shamed by you, Bubbles.
We should be able to do this.

89
00:05:09,392 --> 00:05:11,272
I know. I think
we should be able to do, this too.

90
00:05:11,269 --> 00:05:13,559
You know who could do it? Jesus.
Jesus was a carpenter.

91
00:05:13,688 --> 00:05:16,398
- People often forget that he was Jewish.
- I don't.

92
00:05:16,524 --> 00:05:18,284
I don't ever forget it.

93
00:05:19,068 --> 00:05:21,818
<i>He was starting to get
some kind of equilibrium.</i>

94
00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:25,990
- Hey, how was it?
- Hi.

95
00:05:25,992 --> 00:05:28,872
- I hate the Y camp.
- Yeah?

96
00:05:29,954 --> 00:05:33,424
- Hey, Bubbles.
- Hi, Bubbles. Hey, Bubbles. Hi, Bubbles.

97
00:05:33,416 --> 00:05:34,916
Can we study for my haftarah?

98
00:05:34,917 --> 00:05:36,457
Yes, please. Go get it.

99
00:05:36,586 --> 00:05:39,126
Okay. Come on, Bubbles, let's go study.

100
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:41,759
"'We hold these truths
to be self-evident,' she shouted,

101
00:05:41,758 --> 00:05:43,258
"'that all men are created equal,

102
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:46,719
"'that they are endowed by their creator
with certain unalienable rights.

103
00:05:46,846 --> 00:05:50,176
"'But that's exactly what we have
on Camazotz. Complete equality.

104
00:05:50,183 --> 00:05:52,023
"'Everybody exactly alike.'

105
00:05:52,185 --> 00:05:54,395
"For a moment,
her brain reeled with confusion,

106
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,020
"then came a moment of blazing truth.

107
00:05:57,148 --> 00:05:59,278
"'No,' she cried triumphantly.

108
00:05:59,442 --> 00:06:01,992
"'Like and equal
are not the same thing at all.'"

109
00:06:03,696 --> 00:06:05,196
Do you think everyone is equal?

110
00:06:05,198 --> 00:06:06,318
Um...

111
00:06:06,324 --> 00:06:08,164
Yeah, of course I do.

112
00:06:08,284 --> 00:06:10,164
But you don't like Mom's friends.

113
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:14,669
No, Mom's friends are the ones
that don't think everyone is equal.

114
00:06:14,665 --> 00:06:16,625
That's why I don't like them.

115
00:06:16,793 --> 00:06:18,673
You still think they're bad.

116
00:06:18,795 --> 00:06:21,505
Okay. Do you think,
maybe it's time to go to sleep?

117
00:06:22,340 --> 00:06:24,930
Is the speck getting bigger, Dad?

118
00:06:24,926 --> 00:06:27,966
<i>He'd been finding his old
equanimity poking through again.</i>

119
00:06:27,970 --> 00:06:30,930
It kinda looks like Saturn,
doesn't it?

120
00:06:30,932 --> 00:06:33,772
Right, but is it okay
for it to be getting bigger?

121
00:06:37,855 --> 00:06:38,855
Yeah, it's fine.

122
00:06:40,274 --> 00:06:43,244
<i>He was starting to return
to his resting pulse again.</i>

123
00:06:44,862 --> 00:06:46,532
"A picture flashed into her mind

124
00:06:46,531 --> 00:06:49,331
"of winter evenings
spent sitting before the open fire

125
00:06:49,325 --> 00:06:51,115
"and studying with her father."

126
00:06:51,411 --> 00:06:53,411
<i>He had been figuring out
what he wanted.</i>

127
00:07:01,003 --> 00:07:03,633
- Well, hello, hello.
- Hi.

128
00:07:03,881 --> 00:07:07,181
- No, no, no. I'm taking you out, okay?
- Toby.

129
00:07:07,301 --> 00:07:08,551
It doesn't have to be to eat.

130
00:07:08,553 --> 00:07:11,813
It can be a walk to the water
or a run to the bodega.

131
00:07:11,931 --> 00:07:14,811
It is really nice outside.
Don't you wanna get out of here?

132
00:07:14,934 --> 00:07:17,104
Are you crazy?
It is not nice. It is 300 degrees.

133
00:07:17,103 --> 00:07:19,363
- I was gonna order sushi.
- No, let's go out.

134
00:07:19,355 --> 00:07:20,895
We can eat sushi in public. Okay?

135
00:07:20,898 --> 00:07:22,568
Let's throw caution to the wind

136
00:07:22,567 --> 00:07:24,737
and be two consenting adults
eating dinner.

137
00:07:24,735 --> 00:07:25,815
Toby, I can't.

138
00:07:25,820 --> 00:07:28,280
Sorry, I don't think you know

139
00:07:28,281 --> 00:07:31,121
how badly I need
something to be normal right now, okay?

140
00:07:31,117 --> 00:07:32,947
I do, but my husband...

141
00:07:33,077 --> 00:07:34,367
He's not your husband anymore.

142
00:07:34,370 --> 00:07:36,250
- Toby...
- He doesn't get to be your husband

143
00:07:36,247 --> 00:07:37,417
after you split up.

144
00:07:37,540 --> 00:07:41,170
- Can we just talk inside?
- No, sorry. I don't know.

145
00:07:41,169 --> 00:07:43,499
This is like so strange, Naheed.

146
00:07:44,714 --> 00:07:46,674
Sorry. A relationship
that starts in bed...

147
00:07:46,674 --> 00:07:48,264
Usually, it's hard
to get a woman in bed,

148
00:07:48,259 --> 00:07:49,839
not to get her to go out to dinner.

149
00:07:56,017 --> 00:07:57,727
I don't think this is working out.

150
00:08:01,314 --> 00:08:02,364
Okay.

151
00:08:02,690 --> 00:08:06,030
Yeah, it's like,
I want something real, you know?

152
00:08:08,488 --> 00:08:10,908
No. I deserve something real.

153
00:08:13,576 --> 00:08:15,576
I know. I'm sorry.

154
00:08:16,370 --> 00:08:19,460
You're very nice.
It is just too complicated.

155
00:08:19,457 --> 00:08:20,577
Yeah.

156
00:08:21,375 --> 00:08:23,665
Toby, I like you.

157
00:08:23,794 --> 00:08:25,594
Yeah, I like you, too.

158
00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:27,469
Maybe one day?

159
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:33,139
I'm hoping
for more immediate relief than that.

160
00:08:36,641 --> 00:08:37,641
Mmm-mmm.

161
00:08:43,648 --> 00:08:45,358
<i>He was learning
to set boundaries.</i>

162
00:08:56,369 --> 00:08:57,449
<i>And then...</i>

163
00:09:01,499 --> 00:09:04,749
<i>Dr. Bartuck would like to see you
first thing in his office.</i>

164
00:09:12,552 --> 00:09:14,682
Are we gonna get a lot of money?

165
00:09:14,804 --> 00:09:17,274
- I don't know.
- Will you get a bigger office?

166
00:09:17,473 --> 00:09:20,773
Hey, come on,
what's wrong with my office? Okay.

167
00:09:22,019 --> 00:09:23,229
- You know what?
- What?

168
00:09:24,689 --> 00:09:25,859
I'm proud of you.

169
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:29,147
- You are?
- Yeah.

170
00:09:29,443 --> 00:09:31,073
Thank you so much.

171
00:09:31,070 --> 00:09:32,150
- Okay.
- All right.

172
00:09:32,154 --> 00:09:34,244
Go get the promotion. Let's go, come on.

173
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,990
<i>Yes, it was all okay.
The body heals.</i>

174
00:09:38,119 --> 00:09:41,039
<i>The liver regenerates. The spirit heals.</i>

175
00:09:41,956 --> 00:09:45,246
<i>It heals and heals
and heals until you're dead.</i>

176
00:09:45,251 --> 00:09:47,381
- Hello.
- Come in. Come in.

177
00:09:49,547 --> 00:09:54,547
- Thank you for coming to see me.
- Of course. I'm very happy to be here.

178
00:09:54,552 --> 00:09:57,512
Is it hot enough for you?

179
00:09:57,972 --> 00:10:00,022
- Where? Oh, yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah?

180
00:10:00,308 --> 00:10:03,518
Uh, I'm gonna say it
'cause there's no easy way to do it.

181
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:04,769
It's about your position.

182
00:10:06,147 --> 00:10:08,067
Someone job-for-hire'd else with it.

183
00:10:10,067 --> 00:10:11,067
Sorry, what?

184
00:10:11,569 --> 00:10:14,069
Someone job-for-hire'd else with that.

185
00:10:14,071 --> 00:10:17,491
You wanted it to go differently.
So did I.

186
00:10:18,701 --> 00:10:20,411
Wait, what? Who?

187
00:10:20,786 --> 00:10:23,866
Outside hired... someone from here...

188
00:10:23,873 --> 00:10:25,543
They wanted new blood...

189
00:10:27,877 --> 00:10:31,377
You're hiring someone from outside
to be my boss?

190
00:10:31,505 --> 00:10:34,005
Yeah, be the...
Yeah, the subdivision head.

191
00:10:35,885 --> 00:10:38,595
Look, nobody doubts your skill,

192
00:10:38,721 --> 00:10:41,851
but they felt like
you were unwilling to give the time.

193
00:10:41,974 --> 00:10:44,944
You've taken how many personal days
in the last three weeks?

194
00:10:45,227 --> 00:10:48,607
I've worked here for 15 years,
I had a bad couple of weeks.

195
00:10:48,898 --> 00:10:51,978
Well, you're an excellent doctor.
Everyone agrees...

196
00:10:53,778 --> 00:10:55,488
<i>The rest didn't really matter.</i>

197
00:10:57,239 --> 00:11:01,039
<i>Janice had some serious objections
to Toby's appointment.</i>

198
00:11:01,035 --> 00:11:04,035
But look,
I didn't say never.

199
00:11:04,038 --> 00:11:07,538
If you start putting the face time,
you never know what could happen.

200
00:11:11,921 --> 00:11:12,961
Um...

201
00:11:13,297 --> 00:11:16,007
Who got it,
if you don't mind me asking?

202
00:11:16,008 --> 00:11:18,758
Oh, sure. His name is Aaron Schwartz.

203
00:11:18,761 --> 00:11:22,221
He was up for subdivision head at Sinai,
we got him here. He's a bright guy.

204
00:11:22,223 --> 00:11:24,023
Very dedicated. You'll get along.

205
00:11:24,016 --> 00:11:27,266
No, I know him.
I went to medical school with him.

206
00:11:33,943 --> 00:11:35,113
God.

207
00:11:38,155 --> 00:11:41,775
<i>Toby tried to pull it together,
but this time, it was hard.</i>

208
00:11:52,962 --> 00:11:54,552
<i>Aaron Schwartz?</i>

209
00:11:59,844 --> 00:12:01,394
<i>Karen Cooper, 911.</i>

210
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,309
<i>Subarachnoid hemorrhage,
evidence of herniation.</i>

211
00:12:08,561 --> 00:12:12,481
<i>Karen Cooper had suffered a rare,
but not unheard of result of surgery</i>

212
00:12:12,481 --> 00:12:16,571
<i>that left her with a kind of injury that
destroys a person's ability to think</i>

213
00:12:16,569 --> 00:12:19,319
<i>and breathe and function in a body.</i>

214
00:12:19,447 --> 00:12:21,737
<i>In other words,
Karen Cooper was brain dead.</i>

215
00:12:22,408 --> 00:12:24,368
I thought the liver made her better.

216
00:12:24,368 --> 00:12:27,658
- You said that she was getting better.
- Yeah, I'm so sorry, David.

217
00:12:28,789 --> 00:12:31,959
So, what do we do now?
What's the next step?

218
00:12:31,959 --> 00:12:35,049
It's a massive bleed.
There's evidence of herniation.

219
00:12:35,171 --> 00:12:38,341
It's an injury
that's very hard to recover from.

220
00:12:38,340 --> 00:12:39,430
What does that mean?

221
00:12:39,592 --> 00:12:42,432
It's hard to recover from this.
I'm sorry.

222
00:12:42,428 --> 00:12:44,308
People just don't recover from this.

223
00:12:47,641 --> 00:12:52,401
This isn't supposed to happen to her.
To us. This is not fair.

224
00:12:52,730 --> 00:12:55,190
I know. It shouldn't happen to anyone.

225
00:12:55,191 --> 00:12:57,531
- I know.
- This is just unacceptable.

226
00:12:58,444 --> 00:13:00,494
Yeah. It's a tough blow. I'm really...

227
00:13:00,488 --> 00:13:02,278
Who else can I talk to about this?

228
00:13:02,281 --> 00:13:03,621
You've spoken to Dr. Lintz.

229
00:13:03,616 --> 00:13:06,656
No. I mean, who is the person in charge?
Who is your boss?

230
00:13:08,287 --> 00:13:09,907
Sorry. It's an unfortunate situation.

231
00:13:09,914 --> 00:13:13,754
I need to speak to someone about this.
Someone who is actually in charge.

232
00:13:13,959 --> 00:13:15,629
It's just, it's not fair.

233
00:13:15,628 --> 00:13:16,918
- Fair?
- Yeah, that's right.

234
00:13:16,921 --> 00:13:19,221
This is not what I was promised.
It is not fair.

235
00:13:19,215 --> 00:13:20,505
<i>But Toby knew the truth.</i>

236
00:13:20,508 --> 00:13:22,428
There's a social worker
you can speak to.

237
00:13:22,551 --> 00:13:24,551
- You haven't answered me.
<i>- Death is not unfair.</i>

238
00:13:24,553 --> 00:13:26,263
There is a social worker on duty.

239
00:13:26,430 --> 00:13:28,350
I will send the social worker
up for you.

240
00:13:28,349 --> 00:13:29,679
<i>It's life that's unfair.</i>

241
00:13:30,768 --> 00:13:32,228
Sorry, I have other patients.

242
00:13:33,437 --> 00:13:35,517
<i>As if the David Coopers
of the world</i>

243
00:13:35,523 --> 00:13:38,073
<i>really wanted to be
a part of a system that's fair.</i>

244
00:13:38,067 --> 00:13:40,687
<i>It didn't matter
'cause none of this was fair.</i>

245
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:44,280
<i>Toby was denied advancement
because he took care of his children.</i>

246
00:13:44,448 --> 00:13:47,028
<i>Toby's own son had discovered porn</i>

247
00:13:47,034 --> 00:13:49,204
<i>and his daughter
was absent a maternal figure</i>

248
00:13:49,203 --> 00:13:52,463
<i>who could've maybe prevented her
from getting publicly humiliated</i>

249
00:13:52,456 --> 00:13:55,536
<i>all because she was out
on some wonder fuck fest</i>

250
00:13:55,543 --> 00:13:56,843
<i>with Sam Rothberg.</i>

251
00:13:56,961 --> 00:13:59,001
<i>Piece of shit Sam Rothberg.</i>

252
00:13:59,004 --> 00:14:03,054
<i>Who wore nylon Adidas pants
with stripes on the sides on Sundays</i>

253
00:14:03,050 --> 00:14:06,800
<i>and put endless bets on endless brackets
for March Madness.</i>

254
00:14:06,804 --> 00:14:08,144
<i>- This was fair?</i>
- Dr. Fleishman.

255
00:14:08,138 --> 00:14:10,218
- Yeah. Sorry. Just... Fuck.
- Is everything okay?

256
00:14:10,224 --> 00:14:12,434
Yeah. I just...
Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you.

257
00:14:15,771 --> 00:14:17,271
<i>But once David Cooper put</i>

258
00:14:17,273 --> 00:14:19,573
<i>the notion of fairness
into Toby's brain,</i>

259
00:14:19,567 --> 00:14:21,437
<i>Toby found it would not leave.</i>

260
00:14:24,655 --> 00:14:27,365
<i>There are questions
a person shouldn't ask</i>

261
00:14:27,366 --> 00:14:28,776
<i>because they're unanswerable.</i>

262
00:14:39,295 --> 00:14:41,665
- Hello, Phillip.
- Hey, Toby.

263
00:14:41,672 --> 00:14:44,092
I'm glad I caught you.
I was wondering...

264
00:14:44,091 --> 00:14:45,181
Yeah.

265
00:14:45,175 --> 00:14:47,425
I'm applying for the Plotkin fellowship.

266
00:14:47,595 --> 00:14:48,675
In Nephrology?

267
00:14:48,846 --> 00:14:53,056
Yeah. And I wanted to see
if you would write me a recommendation.

268
00:14:53,183 --> 00:14:54,893
But you're in hepatology.

269
00:14:54,894 --> 00:14:58,194
Yeah, I want to be able
to run a gastro unit

270
00:14:58,439 --> 00:15:00,019
and then a post in admin.

271
00:15:00,024 --> 00:15:02,694
Dr. Bartuck says
that's the fastest path to the top.

272
00:15:02,693 --> 00:15:05,613
Yeah. Is that why you do this,
to get to the top?

273
00:15:05,613 --> 00:15:08,573
I do this because I'm a healer.
I hold life in my...

274
00:15:08,574 --> 00:15:10,664
Hey. Hey. No, come on. I'm curious.

275
00:15:12,828 --> 00:15:15,208
A man's worth
is no greater than his ambitions.

276
00:15:16,206 --> 00:15:18,706
That's beautiful. Is that Whitman?

277
00:15:19,752 --> 00:15:21,962
You know what? Whatever. Sure.

278
00:15:21,962 --> 00:15:25,132
Write it yourself and I'll sign it.
I wouldn't really know what to say.

279
00:15:26,216 --> 00:15:28,586
- Thanks, Toby...
- It's "Dr. Fleishman."

280
00:15:28,719 --> 00:15:30,929
Okay, Phillip?
You call me "Dr. Fleishman."

281
00:15:43,567 --> 00:15:44,687
Hi, Toby.

282
00:15:46,570 --> 00:15:49,280
Hi. Yeah, sorry. I was just...

283
00:15:49,281 --> 00:15:51,661
Hey, I heard
about the new subdivision head.

284
00:15:51,825 --> 00:15:53,945
- Yeah?
- You were a candidate, right?

285
00:15:53,953 --> 00:15:55,963
- Yeah.
- I'm so sorry.

286
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,420
It just doesn't make sense.

287
00:15:58,624 --> 00:16:01,844
Oh, thanks. No, it's fine.
We talked about it, but ultimately,

288
00:16:01,835 --> 00:16:04,585
the thing I care most about,
is patient interface, so...

289
00:16:04,588 --> 00:16:06,878
Yeah. You always have to be
on guard for the ways that

290
00:16:06,882 --> 00:16:09,932
people wanna advance you out of
the thing you got into medicine for.

291
00:16:09,927 --> 00:16:12,047
Of course. But, God, losing sucks.

292
00:16:14,473 --> 00:16:15,563
Yeah, it sucks.

293
00:16:16,684 --> 00:16:18,564
Toby, I've learned more from you

294
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,270
than any other teacher
that they have in this place.

295
00:16:21,271 --> 00:16:22,561
Really?

296
00:16:24,191 --> 00:16:26,071
Sorry, that was
such a nice thing to say.

297
00:16:26,068 --> 00:16:27,898
It's true, so...

298
00:16:27,903 --> 00:16:31,243
That is so nice. And I'm sorry, I...
You were right.

299
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,780
Losing sucks, actually.

300
00:16:32,783 --> 00:16:33,913
I know.

301
00:16:34,410 --> 00:16:36,410
I'm actually so upset about it.

302
00:16:36,537 --> 00:16:39,957
Yeah, it's funny,
'cause all these years, um,

303
00:16:40,082 --> 00:16:42,332
Rachel, my ex-wife,

304
00:16:42,459 --> 00:16:44,629
she was always telling me
I wasn't ambitious enough

305
00:16:44,628 --> 00:16:46,958
and I would just say
"I'm not an ambition monster."

306
00:16:46,964 --> 00:16:48,304
- Right.
- It's different.

307
00:16:48,298 --> 00:16:50,758
And also, there's this concept
of enough, you know?

308
00:16:50,759 --> 00:16:52,589
And it's weird.
I always thought it was crazy,

309
00:16:53,804 --> 00:16:55,814
but honestly, this feels pretty bad.

310
00:16:56,974 --> 00:16:59,444
Yeah, this has me asking
a lot of hard questions of myself.

311
00:17:00,853 --> 00:17:04,153
Of course. But you know that
none of that is your fault, right?

312
00:17:05,107 --> 00:17:09,357
No. Oh, my God.
It's the fact that this world is stupid.

313
00:17:09,361 --> 00:17:11,491
It values the wrong things.

314
00:17:11,697 --> 00:17:13,777
But I've watched you keep

315
00:17:13,782 --> 00:17:15,412
all your values the same
despite all these,

316
00:17:15,826 --> 00:17:18,656
you know,
chaotic pressures that are put on you

317
00:17:18,662 --> 00:17:20,412
and I really admire that.

318
00:17:21,498 --> 00:17:23,538
I really wanna be like that.

319
00:17:23,667 --> 00:17:26,667
- When I... So, when I first...
- <i>This was what he wanted.</i>

320
00:17:27,129 --> 00:17:28,839
<i>Someone who cared,</i>

321
00:17:28,839 --> 00:17:32,759
<i>someone who could listen,
someone who would root for him.</i>

322
00:17:32,885 --> 00:17:34,385
<i>You can understand how,</i>

323
00:17:34,386 --> 00:17:36,346
<i>given his recent months,
his recent years,</i>

324
00:17:36,597 --> 00:17:39,887
<i>his recent hour, just how much
this kindness meant to him.</i>

325
00:17:40,476 --> 00:17:43,146
Would you maybe wanna talk about this
more after work?

326
00:17:43,145 --> 00:17:46,685
You know, I don't know,
maybe I could take you to dinner.

327
00:17:47,983 --> 00:17:49,283
Oh, uh...

328
00:17:51,278 --> 00:17:52,778
You know I... We...

329
00:17:53,363 --> 00:17:56,623
I have that Hoffman sonogram
that you told me to check up on.

330
00:17:56,617 --> 00:17:58,237
So, I'm gonna go do that right now.

331
00:17:58,243 --> 00:17:59,373
<i>Oh, fuck.</i>

332
00:17:59,369 --> 00:18:01,459
- Thank you, Dr. Fleishman.
- Yeah.

333
00:18:02,456 --> 00:18:05,076
<i>Oh, fuck. Wow!</i>

334
00:18:06,585 --> 00:18:10,375
<i>Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck.</i>

335
00:18:13,383 --> 00:18:15,893
How was it?
Dad, why are you walking so fast?

336
00:18:15,886 --> 00:18:18,176
- We're going out to dinner.
- You got your promotion?

337
00:18:18,305 --> 00:18:20,635
- Is your office bigger?
- I told them I didn't want it.

338
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:23,516
I didn't want to deal with office stuff
and be anybody's boss.

339
00:18:23,519 --> 00:18:26,769
Being a boss is terrible
and then everybody hates you. Come on.

340
00:18:27,731 --> 00:18:28,821
Where are we eating?

341
00:18:32,402 --> 00:18:33,572
- Dad.
- Yeah?

342
00:18:33,570 --> 00:18:36,570
- Dad are you okay?
- I'm fine. I'm fine. Just eat.

343
00:18:46,667 --> 00:18:48,287
<i>And then, his entire body,</i>

344
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:52,213
<i>paralyzed by his first carb intake
in nearly 30 years</i>

345
00:18:52,422 --> 00:18:54,342
<i>became very quiet again.</i>

346
00:18:56,635 --> 00:18:59,675
<i>The thing is,
he hadn't even asked for a promotion.</i>

347
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,430
<i>He hadn't asked
for this particular rejection</i>

348
00:19:02,432 --> 00:19:05,272
<i>and what was fast becoming
the worst summer of his life.</i>

349
00:19:06,687 --> 00:19:09,017
<i>His rejection wouldn't matter
when he was fired</i>

350
00:19:09,022 --> 00:19:10,982
<i>for being a sexual harasser, anyway.</i>

351
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:12,323
Jessica.
Hi.

352
00:19:12,526 --> 00:19:14,236
Dad, Aunt Cherry's here.
Hey, Dad.

353
00:19:18,574 --> 00:19:19,664
- Cherry.
- Hey.

354
00:19:19,658 --> 00:19:21,538
What are you doing here? Hi, Jessica.

355
00:19:21,535 --> 00:19:24,445
- Hi.
- It's Saturday. You asked me to come.

356
00:19:24,663 --> 00:19:26,463
- What's wrong with you?
- Saturday?

357
00:19:26,707 --> 00:19:28,827
You said you had a party to go to?

358
00:19:28,834 --> 00:19:32,254
We talked about how nice it would be
just me and Jessica and the kids?

359
00:19:32,254 --> 00:19:35,924
Oh, God. Sorry, there's no party.
I'm sorry, I totally spaced.

360
00:19:35,924 --> 00:19:38,394
It's been kind of a bad week.

361
00:19:38,677 --> 00:19:42,057
- He didn't get his promotion.
- He didn't want his promotion.

362
00:19:42,181 --> 00:19:44,141
- Sure, doofus.
- Hey, show me your room?

363
00:19:44,141 --> 00:19:45,681
- Okay.
- It's my room, too.

364
00:19:45,684 --> 00:19:47,234
We got a dog.
Really?

365
00:19:47,227 --> 00:19:48,307
Yeah!

366
00:19:48,312 --> 00:19:51,942
I'm sorry it's such a mess.
It all just kinda accumulated.

367
00:19:52,065 --> 00:19:53,855
I dealt with Rachel being gone.

368
00:19:53,859 --> 00:19:57,069
I did. I handled that.
But then, I don't know,

369
00:19:57,070 --> 00:19:58,200
I took my eye off the ball,

370
00:19:58,197 --> 00:20:00,567
and suddenly,
everything else fell apart.

371
00:20:00,574 --> 00:20:03,334
God. Please don't listen to me.
This is how I sound now.

372
00:20:03,327 --> 00:20:05,447
Sorry every time
I'm almost back to normal,

373
00:20:05,454 --> 00:20:07,294
something happens and I just like...

374
00:20:08,123 --> 00:20:10,923
I'm really sorry you took the trip in...

375
00:20:11,251 --> 00:20:14,761
You lost a promotion. You're divorced.
Welcome to middle age.

376
00:20:14,755 --> 00:20:16,665
The alternative was dying young.

377
00:20:16,673 --> 00:20:19,553
Now, tell me about this party
you're definitely going to.

378
00:20:19,551 --> 00:20:21,931
It's a friend
from my year in Israel, Shana.

379
00:20:21,929 --> 00:20:24,469
She and her husband, Mort,
have this like annual reunion.

380
00:20:24,473 --> 00:20:26,773
I stopped going
after Rachel and I got married.

381
00:20:27,434 --> 00:20:28,524
Then go.

382
00:20:29,394 --> 00:20:31,984
I can't. Sorry. I'm so embarrassed.

383
00:20:31,980 --> 00:20:34,440
I don't know how to
present myself to the world anymore.

384
00:20:34,441 --> 00:20:37,281
You're divorced.
Most people are divorced.

385
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:39,320
Go take a shower.

386
00:20:40,113 --> 00:20:41,243
- Really?
- Go.

387
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:42,820
Okay. Okay. I'm going.

388
00:20:45,994 --> 00:20:49,254
<i>So, Toby headed to the annual
get-together from our year abroad.</i>

389
00:20:50,123 --> 00:20:51,583
<i>The one I went to every year,</i>

390
00:20:51,583 --> 00:20:54,543
<i>and the one Toby hadn't been to
in 15 years.</i>

391
00:20:57,881 --> 00:20:59,301
Here you go. Thanks.

392
00:21:03,011 --> 00:21:05,851
<i>In the intervening years,
the only get-togethers he'd been to</i>

393
00:21:05,847 --> 00:21:08,557
<i>were terrible ones
with Rachel's friends.</i>

394
00:21:08,558 --> 00:21:10,638
<i>When he walked into the Israel reunion,</i>

395
00:21:10,978 --> 00:21:14,608
<i>he hadn't remembered that the purpose
of people gathering was to be fun.</i>

396
00:21:17,192 --> 00:21:20,992
- Hi. We're here.
- Toby Fleishman.

397
00:21:21,238 --> 00:21:23,318
- Toby Fleishman?
- Oh, my God!

398
00:21:23,532 --> 00:21:25,952
- What a place.
- Toby Fleishman!

399
00:21:27,202 --> 00:21:28,332
Oh!

400
00:21:28,328 --> 00:21:30,158
Look at this. Can you even?

401
00:21:30,163 --> 00:21:31,543
- Oh, my God.
- Yes.

402
00:21:32,207 --> 00:21:35,337
- The table works.
- Rachel, this is amazing.

403
00:21:35,794 --> 00:21:37,254
Who did you use?

404
00:21:37,254 --> 00:21:40,764
Yeah, actually, we got the guys
who created Levittown to consult, so...

405
00:21:40,757 --> 00:21:43,177
- I don't know them.
- Okay. No, it's a joke.

406
00:21:43,176 --> 00:21:44,926
- I'm just kidding.
- Marissa McMass.

407
00:21:44,928 --> 00:21:46,308
- Oh.
- She's Miriam's person.

408
00:21:46,305 --> 00:21:48,015
Yes, yes, yes. I love her.

409
00:21:48,015 --> 00:21:49,725
- Yeah.
- Did she make you do the quiz?

410
00:21:49,725 --> 00:21:51,015
She did.

411
00:21:51,143 --> 00:21:53,603
Wait. Don't tell me. Was it mid-cent?

412
00:21:53,603 --> 00:21:55,613
It's mid-century.

413
00:21:55,605 --> 00:22:00,525
I knew it. Rachel Fleishman,
mid-century. I knew it.

414
00:22:00,944 --> 00:22:04,324
So, Fleish,
how are things at the hospital?

415
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:06,993
It's good, actually.
Yeah, we're getting into crypto, so...

416
00:22:07,951 --> 00:22:09,951
Wait. What is that?
Is that another joke?

417
00:22:09,953 --> 00:22:11,203
That was a joke too, yeah.

418
00:22:11,204 --> 00:22:13,044
Haven't seen you in years!

419
00:22:13,707 --> 00:22:14,747
Hey.

420
00:22:15,125 --> 00:22:16,835
- Hi.
- Hi.

421
00:22:16,835 --> 00:22:19,665
- Toby Fleishman. I can't believe it.
- Hi.

422
00:22:20,756 --> 00:22:22,836
It's Toby Fleishman.

423
00:22:22,841 --> 00:22:25,091
- Hello. Hello.
- I haven't seen you in years.

424
00:22:26,845 --> 00:22:29,055
Thank you so much.
I really... Thank you so much.

425
00:22:29,056 --> 00:22:31,766
I wish I can go back there with you.
Here you go. Thanks a lot.

426
00:22:31,767 --> 00:22:34,387
Actually, you know what,
I liked our old place. It was sweet.

427
00:22:34,561 --> 00:22:37,441
We had mismatched furniture.
It was like paradise for me.

428
00:22:37,439 --> 00:22:40,229
Toby. This place, though,
you can get lost in here.

429
00:22:40,233 --> 00:22:41,693
Like the ceilings alone.

430
00:22:41,693 --> 00:22:43,203
It'll make you look shorter.

431
00:22:43,195 --> 00:22:45,155
- Rich...
- They make all of us...

432
00:22:45,155 --> 00:22:47,275
All of us look shorter. The royal you.

433
00:22:48,742 --> 00:22:50,622
The old place
didn't have air conditioning.

434
00:22:50,619 --> 00:22:52,329
It did. We had units.

435
00:22:52,621 --> 00:22:56,381
- Ugh. That's what I meant.
- Thank you. Toby hates change.

436
00:22:56,708 --> 00:22:58,208
Actually, I'm fine with change.

437
00:22:58,752 --> 00:23:00,962
These chairs are lovely.

438
00:23:01,129 --> 00:23:03,719
How are you? Libby said
you've been having a tough time.

439
00:23:03,965 --> 00:23:05,505
I'm okay. I got divorced.

440
00:23:05,509 --> 00:23:08,549
I got married and then divorced.
I hear this happens, though.

441
00:23:08,553 --> 00:23:09,723
You doing okay?

442
00:23:09,721 --> 00:23:11,521
- Yeah.
- You're on the apps?

443
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:12,680
Um...

444
00:23:12,682 --> 00:23:14,642
Yes. You know, sometimes.

445
00:23:14,643 --> 00:23:16,813
What's it like?
It's crazy, right?

446
00:23:16,812 --> 00:23:19,362
Yeah. Honestly, it is insane.
It's gross.

447
00:23:20,315 --> 00:23:21,815
Oh, my God. It's Seth.

448
00:23:21,817 --> 00:23:23,607
- Hi.
- Hey.

449
00:23:23,735 --> 00:23:26,105
- You showed.
- I did and I might never leave.

450
00:23:26,238 --> 00:23:28,528
Hey, buddy, good to see you.
You, too.

451
00:23:29,241 --> 00:23:32,201
- You brought your appetite.
- Looking fit.

452
00:23:32,452 --> 00:23:33,582
- Good to see you.
- Place looks good.

453
00:23:34,413 --> 00:23:35,503
Can you believe this?

454
00:23:36,206 --> 00:23:37,536
Thank you. This is magic.

455
00:23:38,041 --> 00:23:40,041
- It's fantastic.
- Hey.

456
00:23:40,043 --> 00:23:41,883
You guys ever go skiing in Gstaad?

457
00:23:41,878 --> 00:23:44,048
I just heard it's great.
We should all go.

458
00:23:44,548 --> 00:23:45,968
I'm getting sick of Vail, right?

459
00:23:45,966 --> 00:23:48,676
- He says this every time.
- Better check with the boss.

460
00:23:48,677 --> 00:23:50,047
- Wild.
- Boss, please.

461
00:23:50,053 --> 00:23:51,143
Boss check.

462
00:23:51,138 --> 00:23:52,678
I likey. Let's do it.

463
00:23:52,681 --> 00:23:54,221
- Yes.
- All in favor of Gstaad?

464
00:23:54,641 --> 00:23:56,441
- Yeah, sure. Why not?
- Yes.

465
00:23:57,561 --> 00:23:59,311
Hey, Toby,
I've been meaning to ask you.

466
00:23:59,312 --> 00:24:01,232
Do you have a good concierge guy?

467
00:24:01,231 --> 00:24:03,781
Your work in pharma.
You know all the good people.

468
00:24:03,775 --> 00:24:05,645
Yet, you only seem to know
the bad ones.

469
00:24:08,071 --> 00:24:10,321
That was a joke. I'm jok...
That was a joke.

470
00:24:10,490 --> 00:24:11,700
That's so stupid, Toby.

471
00:24:12,534 --> 00:24:13,994
- Okay.
- Are you leaving?

472
00:24:13,994 --> 00:24:17,504
Then he looks up at the doctor an
he goes to the doctor, "Are you Jewish?"

473
00:24:17,497 --> 00:24:19,877
And the doctor says, "No, no."
He goes, "Oh, shit."

474
00:24:28,008 --> 00:24:29,008
Oh, my God.

475
00:24:30,510 --> 00:24:31,720
It's true.

476
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,720
And then he died under anesthesia.

477
00:24:38,894 --> 00:24:41,194
Are you gonna put Max in robotics?

478
00:24:41,188 --> 00:24:43,518
Yes. STEM all the way.

479
00:24:43,523 --> 00:24:46,283
He made this little character
out of LEGOs.

480
00:24:46,276 --> 00:24:48,106
- It can walk. It's amazing.
- Really?

481
00:24:48,111 --> 00:24:50,161
Solly made one
where the LEGO guy can bowl.

482
00:24:50,155 --> 00:24:53,115
It's insane. Imagine if they taught us
this stuff at that age?

483
00:24:53,116 --> 00:24:54,576
- Speaking of which...
- Yeah.

484
00:24:54,576 --> 00:24:56,696
- ...what would you do differently?
- Oh!

485
00:24:57,245 --> 00:25:00,245
No, I'm not saying I would do
anything different. It's just...

486
00:25:00,248 --> 00:25:01,878
- Yeah.
-"What a world" kind of thing.

487
00:25:01,875 --> 00:25:02,995
Yeah.

488
00:25:03,001 --> 00:25:05,171
Yeah, I can totally see you
as a tech guy.

489
00:25:06,254 --> 00:25:08,924
Sorry, I don't know
if I have enough hoodies for that.

490
00:25:10,967 --> 00:25:12,927
It was a joke, Toby.

491
00:25:13,094 --> 00:25:15,064
You're exactly
who you were always gonna be.

492
00:25:18,141 --> 00:25:20,691
So, how's the liver business, my man?

493
00:25:20,852 --> 00:25:22,272
You asked me that?

494
00:25:22,270 --> 00:25:24,520
You always fucking ask me that.

495
00:25:27,108 --> 00:25:28,398
Excuse me. I gotta go.

496
00:25:30,487 --> 00:25:33,067
Sorry. Excuse me.

497
00:25:38,328 --> 00:25:39,828
Are they supposed to bowl?

498
00:25:49,923 --> 00:25:52,973
She is an anthropologist
and a veterinarian.

499
00:25:52,968 --> 00:25:56,888
She is trying to save
some species of bird.

500
00:25:57,597 --> 00:25:59,767
Really? That's...
Okay. That's admirable.

501
00:25:59,766 --> 00:26:02,016
I don't know
if I'm like ready to be set up.

502
00:26:02,018 --> 00:26:05,438
I had this weird,
quasi relationship with this woman

503
00:26:05,438 --> 00:26:07,518
who literally did not leave her house.

504
00:26:07,524 --> 00:26:09,284
It is weird... Yes, I'm serious.

505
00:26:09,276 --> 00:26:12,026
It is weird out there.
It filled me trepidation.

506
00:26:12,195 --> 00:26:13,695
It's just a divorce, man.

507
00:26:13,697 --> 00:26:15,197
No, I know, but it...

508
00:26:15,198 --> 00:26:17,078
I don't know.
It felt like more than that.

509
00:26:17,075 --> 00:26:20,535
It felt like a referendum on my life
and my choices, you know?

510
00:26:20,537 --> 00:26:22,657
What if it's just bad luck?

511
00:26:22,789 --> 00:26:25,419
What if it's just sometimes,
life isn't fair?

512
00:26:26,334 --> 00:26:27,594
Hmm.

513
00:26:27,586 --> 00:26:29,126
Yeah, fair... Yeah.

514
00:26:30,797 --> 00:26:31,877
Maybe you're right.

515
00:26:31,881 --> 00:26:33,971
Yeah, sometimes,
things just aren't fair.

516
00:26:34,926 --> 00:26:37,136
I think I don't like to think
in those terms.

517
00:26:38,763 --> 00:26:40,723
That's what those terms are there for.

518
00:26:40,724 --> 00:26:42,894
You know
what I think about all the time?

519
00:26:42,892 --> 00:26:46,902
When we took that hike
and got lost and it got dark...

520
00:26:47,981 --> 00:26:49,941
<i>It had been so long
since he felt accepted.</i>

521
00:26:49,941 --> 00:26:52,821
<i>Like he didn't have
to justify his existence.</i>

522
00:26:52,819 --> 00:26:55,529
<i>That people just took him
on his own terms.</i>

523
00:26:57,365 --> 00:26:58,525
<i>Maybe this was the key,</i>

524
00:26:59,534 --> 00:27:03,164
<i>to spend time with people
who knew when you were all potential.</i>

525
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,040
<i>Maybe, in some way,
you remained all potential to them.</i>

526
00:27:09,044 --> 00:27:11,554
<i>Your mistakes were anomalies to them.</i>

527
00:27:12,130 --> 00:27:13,340
It isn't. It is!

528
00:27:13,340 --> 00:27:15,840
They lost our luggage
and the traffic was crazy.

529
00:27:18,261 --> 00:27:20,721
Hey, I remember you from a colleague.

530
00:27:20,722 --> 00:27:22,062
Yeah. Yeah.

531
00:27:22,182 --> 00:27:24,312
Hi. Did I miss everything?

532
00:27:26,728 --> 00:27:28,188
You know why I eat these?

533
00:27:28,188 --> 00:27:29,688
'Cause they're awful.
That's right.

534
00:27:29,689 --> 00:27:33,109
- Here you go. Hey. Hey.
- Thank you. Thank you.

535
00:27:33,109 --> 00:27:37,239
- I'm gonna get some diet ice for you.
- Diet ice. Never not funny. Yeah.

536
00:27:37,364 --> 00:27:39,994
So, who are you
writing about these days?

537
00:27:39,991 --> 00:27:41,621
She's not at the magazine anymore.

538
00:27:41,618 --> 00:27:44,618
- Yeah. I'm not anywhere anymore.
- You're not fucking kidding.

539
00:27:44,746 --> 00:27:46,156
- Come on.
- I'll take it.

540
00:27:46,164 --> 00:27:47,624
- It smells like...
- Lemonade?

541
00:27:47,624 --> 00:27:49,334
...something a teenager would make.

542
00:27:49,334 --> 00:27:51,964
This is really fun.
We never go to parties, ever.

543
00:27:51,961 --> 00:27:53,881
We go to parties all the time.

544
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,470
We don't go to fun parties.

545
00:27:55,465 --> 00:27:57,875
This is my very favorite night
of the whole year.

546
00:27:57,884 --> 00:27:58,974
Wow.

547
00:27:59,844 --> 00:28:01,854
What? Is that bad?

548
00:28:01,846 --> 00:28:03,006
Nope. No problem.

549
00:28:04,307 --> 00:28:05,347
Thank you very much.

550
00:28:06,768 --> 00:28:08,518
Hey, hey, hey. How was ...

551
00:28:08,812 --> 00:28:10,982
- I loved it.
- Cheers.

552
00:28:10,980 --> 00:28:13,110
People greet you.
They call your kids by name.

553
00:28:13,108 --> 00:28:16,738
Honestly, I say this with no irony.
It's clean. It's safe.

554
00:28:16,736 --> 00:28:18,486
- Yeah.
- Libby found it soul-crushing.

555
00:28:18,488 --> 00:28:20,158
- Why?
-'Cause she hates joy.

556
00:28:20,156 --> 00:28:21,986
He really gets you. That's beautiful.

557
00:28:21,991 --> 00:28:26,251
Gosh. No, it's hotter than the surface
of the Sun, number one.

558
00:28:26,246 --> 00:28:30,036
Also, all the characters, all the rides,

559
00:28:30,041 --> 00:28:33,551
and the canned happiness, for what?

560
00:28:33,545 --> 00:28:35,755
- I would love a can of happiness.
- No.

561
00:28:35,755 --> 00:28:39,465
We've these passes for the rides, right?
They came with the club level thing.

562
00:28:39,592 --> 00:28:43,052
So, you got on every ride
in six minutes.

563
00:28:43,054 --> 00:28:44,314
Yeah.

564
00:28:44,305 --> 00:28:47,765
But you have to go in this empty line
past this other line

565
00:28:47,767 --> 00:28:50,477
where all these people
have been waiting and you realize,

566
00:28:50,478 --> 00:28:54,068
"I'm not subverting any line here.
I'm cutting a line."

567
00:28:54,065 --> 00:28:55,935
I'm subverting
the system for the people...

568
00:28:55,942 --> 00:28:58,112
- Yes. Yeah.
- ...aren't on the club level.

569
00:28:58,111 --> 00:29:00,111
- That's how it works.
- But that's not fair.

570
00:29:00,113 --> 00:29:02,743
- But it's not fair in your direction.
- Exactly.

571
00:29:02,741 --> 00:29:06,331
The thing about my wife is she can be
unhappy both on a line and cutting one.

572
00:29:06,327 --> 00:29:08,497
She's pretty amazing, isn't she?

573
00:29:09,122 --> 00:29:10,752
- I can't wait to take my kids.
- Really?

574
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:12,289
You'd probably get a senior discount

575
00:29:12,292 --> 00:29:13,752
- by the time you have kids.
- Oh!

576
00:29:13,752 --> 00:29:16,052
It's terrible. You would go
and you would think about how,

577
00:29:16,045 --> 00:29:20,215
like how same shaped all the women are,
how stupid all the people are.

578
00:29:20,216 --> 00:29:23,926
All the women there, they wear
yoga pants instead of regular pants.

579
00:29:23,928 --> 00:29:25,638
They're yelling at their children.

580
00:29:25,764 --> 00:29:30,024
And then you look down and you're like,
"Oh, God, I'm wearing yoga pants.

581
00:29:30,018 --> 00:29:31,768
"I'm yelling at my children."

582
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:34,400
The common denominator is you.

583
00:29:34,397 --> 00:29:35,977
Why can't you wear regular pants?

584
00:29:35,982 --> 00:29:37,572
Why are you so upset?

585
00:29:37,567 --> 00:29:40,397
My man, asking that
will not yield a satisfactory answer.

586
00:29:40,403 --> 00:29:41,783
Just please trust me on this.

587
00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:44,450
- Okay.
- Just, you know, save yourself.

588
00:29:44,616 --> 00:29:46,576
We told Yvonne we'd back by 1:00.
It's 12:30.

589
00:29:46,576 --> 00:29:49,616
- It's my favorite night of the year.
- I wish you would stop saying that.

590
00:29:49,621 --> 00:29:51,291
You're not taking our Libby away.

591
00:29:51,289 --> 00:29:55,209
Please. Just a little longer.
I never, ever see these people ever.

592
00:29:55,210 --> 00:29:57,210
I'm reliving the glory of my youth.

593
00:29:57,212 --> 00:30:00,762
- She had a glorious youth.
- I did. I did.

594
00:30:01,674 --> 00:30:03,474
It is time to go.

595
00:30:05,887 --> 00:30:07,097
I'll take a car.

596
00:30:11,017 --> 00:30:13,137
- I'll see you guys.
- I'll see you later.

597
00:30:15,313 --> 00:30:18,733
- He's leaving?
- No, he has an early morning.

598
00:30:20,068 --> 00:30:23,318
Oh, awesome. Vanessa is gonna come.
Will we be here in an hour?

599
00:30:23,321 --> 00:30:25,951
- She's coming here? No.
- Yeah. Yeah.

600
00:30:25,949 --> 00:30:28,909
This night is for people
who are going gently into midlife.

601
00:30:28,910 --> 00:30:30,500
If I can send my husband home,

602
00:30:30,495 --> 00:30:33,205
you can have one night
without your young girlfriend.

603
00:30:33,206 --> 00:30:36,496
Maybe I like my girlfriend more
than you appear to like your husband?

604
00:30:36,501 --> 00:30:38,251
- Ooh.
- What's that?

605
00:30:38,962 --> 00:30:40,132
I said maybe.

606
00:30:40,129 --> 00:30:41,419
- No, I heard.
- Fine.

607
00:30:42,090 --> 00:30:45,090
I don't know, I feel like
I wish I still lived in the city.

608
00:30:45,093 --> 00:30:48,763
Like even in Israel,
my whole life was ahead of me.

609
00:30:49,931 --> 00:30:51,891
It was at the beginning of something.

610
00:30:51,891 --> 00:30:54,191
We all were at the beginning
of something.

611
00:30:54,185 --> 00:30:55,475
But now?

612
00:30:55,478 --> 00:30:57,308
Now, we're at the end of something.

613
00:30:57,313 --> 00:30:59,733
No, we're not. We're just ongoing.

614
00:30:59,732 --> 00:31:01,992
We so are.
And you wanna know how I know?

615
00:31:02,819 --> 00:31:04,609
Because we keep
revisiting the beginning.

616
00:31:04,612 --> 00:31:06,072
You have a nice life, okay? I was there.

617
00:31:06,072 --> 00:31:09,082
You have like a very nice life there.

618
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,830
- That's not really my point, but...
- Really? So what's your point?

619
00:31:14,289 --> 00:31:18,249
My point is I have cigarettes.
I just remembered. I have cigarettes.

620
00:31:18,251 --> 00:31:22,261
- Cool. Very cool.
- Who wants to smoke cigarettes with me?

621
00:31:22,463 --> 00:31:23,463
I'll go.

622
00:31:24,549 --> 00:31:26,179
I'll stand there.

623
00:31:26,342 --> 00:31:27,592
"I'll stand there?"

624
00:31:27,594 --> 00:31:31,564
- You're such a cool person.
- What a dweeb. "I'll stand there."

625
00:31:37,437 --> 00:31:40,187
What are the cigarettes called
that we used to smoke in Israel?

626
00:31:42,191 --> 00:31:43,281
Time.

627
00:31:44,110 --> 00:31:45,740
Time. Right.

628
00:31:45,737 --> 00:31:48,657
Stands for "This Is My Enjoyment."

629
00:31:52,744 --> 00:31:55,414
You shouldn't ash on the ground
of somebody else's house.

630
00:31:55,413 --> 00:31:57,583
Toby. This is my enjoyment.

631
00:31:57,582 --> 00:31:59,082
This is your emphysema.

632
00:31:59,083 --> 00:32:00,753
I'm gonna go back inside, okay?

633
00:32:01,711 --> 00:32:02,751
What is with you?

634
00:32:02,754 --> 00:32:04,014
- Nothing's with me.
- Really?

635
00:32:04,005 --> 00:32:06,165
You seem extra annoyed tonight, so...

636
00:32:06,174 --> 00:32:08,474
I'm not. I'm great.
I'm gonna go back inside.

637
00:32:08,468 --> 00:32:09,548
I'm having a great night.

638
00:32:09,552 --> 00:32:12,262
- Good. Me, too.
- You should have been nicer to Adam.

639
00:32:14,349 --> 00:32:15,479
Adam's fine.

640
00:32:15,475 --> 00:32:17,015
- You were a bitch to him.
- What?

641
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,060
Yeah. You can't treat
a person that way, okay?

642
00:32:20,063 --> 00:32:22,073
You can't treat your husband that way.

643
00:32:22,065 --> 00:32:25,435
Okay, what, I'm sorry.
You're interested in me suddenly?

644
00:32:25,443 --> 00:32:28,033
- You wanna talk about me?
- I don't know what that means.

645
00:32:28,029 --> 00:32:30,819
Usually you're only interested
in talking about yourself.

646
00:32:30,823 --> 00:32:32,783
- No, that's not true.
- It's kind of true.

647
00:32:32,784 --> 00:32:35,834
You now, too? Okay. Sorry.
I didn't realize I was so negligent.

648
00:32:35,828 --> 00:32:39,078
I didn't say that. I said it was true.
You only talk about yourself.

649
00:32:39,082 --> 00:32:41,382
I lost my job.
You haven't asked me how I'm doing.

650
00:32:41,376 --> 00:32:42,746
Yeah, you would tell me, man.

651
00:32:42,752 --> 00:32:46,972
God, that is really not
a great philosophy for friendship, pal.

652
00:32:46,965 --> 00:32:49,085
- Let's just chill out. Toby...
- Yeah.

653
00:32:49,092 --> 00:32:50,392
...you drank too much.

654
00:32:50,385 --> 00:32:52,755
- You're a bitch, but we love you anyway.
- Oh, my God.

655
00:32:52,762 --> 00:32:54,762
Do I actually deserve this right now?

656
00:32:54,764 --> 00:32:58,644
Honestly, like after listening
to your problems nonstop for two months?

657
00:32:58,643 --> 00:32:59,943
Nobody asked you to do that.

658
00:32:59,936 --> 00:33:01,806
- You asked me to do that.
- No, I didn't.

659
00:33:01,813 --> 00:33:04,363
Sure you did. And you don't know
anything about my life.

660
00:33:04,357 --> 00:33:07,397
Nothing. And you,
you don't know anything about anything.

661
00:33:07,402 --> 00:33:09,702
I know you're married
to a pretty nice guy.

662
00:33:09,696 --> 00:33:11,446
What do you know about marriage?

663
00:33:11,447 --> 00:33:13,237
Honestly, what do you know about life?

664
00:33:13,241 --> 00:33:16,911
Like you have punted
every decision that a person can make.

665
00:33:16,911 --> 00:33:19,911
Why do you get to do that?
'Cause you're handsome? You're rich?

666
00:33:19,914 --> 00:33:21,124
- Okay.
- Get to live forever?

667
00:33:21,124 --> 00:33:22,674
Don't believe him, but believe me.

668
00:33:22,667 --> 00:33:25,127
If I was Adam,
I would be like done with you.

669
00:33:26,754 --> 00:33:28,514
You're gonna give me marriage advice?

670
00:33:28,506 --> 00:33:31,256
You are? Really? And how about you?

671
00:33:31,259 --> 00:33:34,179
You're gonna tell me
how to have a good relationship

672
00:33:34,178 --> 00:33:35,348
even though you haven't even told

673
00:33:35,346 --> 00:33:37,966
your toddler girlfriend
that you lost your job?

674
00:33:37,974 --> 00:33:40,604
You don't know anything
and you really don't know anything.

675
00:33:40,601 --> 00:33:41,771
Okay.

676
00:33:41,769 --> 00:33:44,559
I'm tired of you treating me
like I'm not a real person

677
00:33:44,564 --> 00:33:47,364
because I'm not married,
I don't have kids.

678
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,112
By the way, Vanessa does know.
I told her.

679
00:33:50,111 --> 00:33:51,571
Congrats. That is so big of you.

680
00:33:51,571 --> 00:33:55,031
May you have a long future together
and never get caught in your lies.

681
00:33:55,033 --> 00:33:56,743
What the fuck is with you two?

682
00:33:56,743 --> 00:33:58,953
Who said you live your life the best?

683
00:33:58,953 --> 00:34:01,713
Who said you're admirable
or I'd wanna be like you?

684
00:34:01,706 --> 00:34:03,076
Really? Jesus Chr...

685
00:34:03,082 --> 00:34:05,752
I just remembered
why I stopped hanging out with you two.

686
00:34:05,752 --> 00:34:07,502
What are you even talking about?

687
00:34:07,503 --> 00:34:12,013
You were dismissive, you were needy,
and I was always a joke, honestly.

688
00:34:12,008 --> 00:34:15,088
- Seth, I found you.
- Hey. Hi.

689
00:34:15,344 --> 00:34:17,064
Oh, my God. Yeah, no.

690
00:34:17,055 --> 00:34:18,465
- Hey, Toby.
- Hi.

691
00:34:18,473 --> 00:34:19,773
- How are you?
- Fine.

692
00:34:19,766 --> 00:34:22,556
Let me go make you a drink.

693
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,520
- I'm gonna go home.
- Okay. It's probably for the best.

694
00:34:31,319 --> 00:34:32,399
What are you doing?

695
00:34:32,403 --> 00:34:34,823
Getting a car to the city.
What are you doing?

696
00:34:35,073 --> 00:34:38,243
I'm taking the train. Just drop me off.

697
00:34:39,285 --> 00:34:40,285
Fine.

698
00:34:49,462 --> 00:34:51,382
All right. Yeah, thanks. This is me.

699
00:34:51,380 --> 00:34:54,550
And she's going to Penn Station. Thanks.

700
00:34:55,134 --> 00:34:56,144
Okay.

701
00:34:56,135 --> 00:34:58,295
Actually, I'm gonna get out here, too.

702
00:34:58,304 --> 00:34:59,394
Thanks.

703
00:34:59,764 --> 00:35:01,934
- Libby, what are you doing?
- I have to pee.

704
00:35:03,601 --> 00:35:05,061
Can I please pee?

705
00:35:06,729 --> 00:35:09,069
Just be quiet, okay?
The kids are sleeping.

706
00:35:18,157 --> 00:35:20,237
Hi. Hey.

707
00:35:20,910 --> 00:35:22,120
Hi.

708
00:35:23,162 --> 00:35:25,162
Hi. How was it?

709
00:35:25,164 --> 00:35:28,504
It was good. It was good.
Yeah. How are the kids?

710
00:35:28,501 --> 00:35:30,591
We had so much fun.

711
00:35:30,586 --> 00:35:32,956
- Really?
- Oh, you have a friend.

712
00:35:34,507 --> 00:35:35,877
Libby Slater?

713
00:35:35,883 --> 00:35:37,803
Yeah. It's me. Hi, Cherry.

714
00:35:37,802 --> 00:35:39,302
- Hey.
- Hey.

715
00:35:39,303 --> 00:35:41,143
I didn't know you were divorced.

716
00:35:41,139 --> 00:35:42,389
I'm not.

717
00:35:44,433 --> 00:35:45,643
She's coming to pee.

718
00:35:45,643 --> 00:35:47,023
Yeah, thanks.

719
00:35:51,524 --> 00:35:52,534
Toby?

720
00:35:52,650 --> 00:35:54,780
Shh. You can let yourself out.

721
00:35:57,738 --> 00:35:59,948
Can you order a car, or something?
It's late.

722
00:36:00,950 --> 00:36:04,540
Do you remember that guy, David,
that I went out with that year?

723
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,460
Yeah. Yeah. The one with the harmonica.

724
00:36:09,125 --> 00:36:10,455
Yeah, the harmonica.

725
00:36:11,794 --> 00:36:15,094
Sometimes, I used to wonder
what happened to that guy,

726
00:36:15,089 --> 00:36:16,799
right, 'cause I never knew.

727
00:36:16,799 --> 00:36:18,049
Okay.

728
00:36:18,384 --> 00:36:22,474
And then tonight,
Tracy told me that he is an accountant

729
00:36:23,890 --> 00:36:27,980
and he's married to an English teacher
and they live in Scarsdale.

730
00:36:30,062 --> 00:36:32,152
You could've
figured this all out on Facebook.

731
00:36:32,148 --> 00:36:36,108
No, I never looked him up
'cause I didn't wanna know.

732
00:36:36,652 --> 00:36:40,822
You know, I wanted
to think of him alone out there,

733
00:36:40,823 --> 00:36:42,583
same as the day that we broke up.

734
00:36:43,701 --> 00:36:45,701
This unknown legend.

735
00:36:48,122 --> 00:36:50,882
We don't have any overlapping friends,
so it was possible.

736
00:36:50,875 --> 00:36:52,955
What are you doing?
No, you can't smoke in here.

737
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,050
Toby, just one. Come on.

738
00:37:02,678 --> 00:37:05,098
- Blow it out the window.
- Yeah.

739
00:37:12,396 --> 00:37:14,316
Do you remember
when Facebook first came out

740
00:37:14,315 --> 00:37:16,855
and you looked up
every single person that you ever knew,

741
00:37:17,818 --> 00:37:22,698
only to find out that they all became
the same basic adults as their parents?

742
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,540
Like they all
had these inevitable conclusions,

743
00:37:28,537 --> 00:37:30,667
to the point that the only people
who were interesting,

744
00:37:30,665 --> 00:37:33,825
were the ones who were smart enough
not to diminish their own legends

745
00:37:33,834 --> 00:37:36,554
by going on fucking Facebook
in the first place.

746
00:37:43,678 --> 00:37:45,218
How did we all get this way?

747
00:37:47,139 --> 00:37:50,559
How do we all get put on this trajectory

748
00:37:50,559 --> 00:37:53,899
where we all ended up
with the same boring life, you know?

749
00:37:56,899 --> 00:37:58,609
I miss longing.

750
00:38:00,444 --> 00:38:03,704
I miss desire.

751
00:38:03,698 --> 00:38:07,538
And it's not Adam. Adam is great, okay?

752
00:38:07,535 --> 00:38:10,745
Like Adam is the best-case scenario
in a very flawed system.

753
00:38:10,913 --> 00:38:14,173
But the way that it works,
the way desire works

754
00:38:14,166 --> 00:38:16,496
and longing works,
is you cannot get the thing,

755
00:38:17,420 --> 00:38:19,800
-'cause then if you get the thing...
- All right.

756
00:38:20,756 --> 00:38:24,086
When you get the thing, you don't
get to feel those feelings anymore.

757
00:38:24,093 --> 00:38:28,313
Am I the only one
that enjoyed feeling those feelings?

758
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,610
I'm just worried that
the only way that I can feel anything,

759
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,120
is when things are very bad

760
00:38:48,409 --> 00:38:51,329
and I just don't know
where that leads, you know?

761
00:38:56,959 --> 00:39:00,379
I just think that
there's something wrong with me, Tobe.

762
00:39:04,550 --> 00:39:06,930
I wasn't always like this, was I?

763
00:39:16,896 --> 00:39:18,266
God, forget it.

764
00:39:20,649 --> 00:39:22,859
Honestly, forget it.
Let's not even talk about it.

765
00:39:22,860 --> 00:39:26,030
Talking about it
doesn't make it any better, so...

766
00:40:46,652 --> 00:40:47,652
<i>Dad?</i>

767
00:40:49,488 --> 00:40:50,488
Dad!

768
00:40:51,574 --> 00:40:53,204
- Dad!
- Shit.

769
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,290
Solly?

770
00:40:56,871 --> 00:40:59,921
- Hey. Hey. What happened?
- I went in the bed.

771
00:40:59,915 --> 00:41:02,415
- Hey, it's okay. It's fine. It happens.
- I'm so sorry.

772
00:41:02,418 --> 00:41:05,668
- Are you kidding? Don't apologize.
- Oh, my God. What is going on?

773
00:41:05,671 --> 00:41:08,671
Nothing, nothing. Just wait here.
I'll be right back. Okay.

774
00:41:09,508 --> 00:41:12,178
- Can I do anything?
- What? No. Libby, get out of here.

775
00:41:12,178 --> 00:41:14,218
Hey. Solly? Miles wet the bed.

776
00:41:14,221 --> 00:41:17,431
No one needs your help right now.
Please leave. Thank you very much.

777
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,273
Go. Go, go. Hey.

778
00:41:36,702 --> 00:41:38,702
<i>There's no use
in going home like this.</i>

779
00:41:44,418 --> 00:41:47,918
<i>I made a mess.
The cleanup already felt impossible.</i>

780
00:41:51,926 --> 00:41:53,506
<i>Left to my own devices,</i>

781
00:41:53,511 --> 00:41:56,101
<i>I always return
to the museum of my youth.</i>

782
00:41:57,515 --> 00:42:00,135
<i>Trying to find the last place
I'd seen myself.</i>

783
00:42:08,567 --> 00:42:10,737
Hey. Hi. How's it going?

784
00:42:12,154 --> 00:42:14,244
One for <i>The Virgin Suicides.</i>

785
00:42:33,717 --> 00:42:34,887
When do you have to go back?

786
00:42:34,885 --> 00:42:38,305
Listen, I have dinner with Scott,
so I have till about midnight.

787
00:42:39,557 --> 00:42:43,137
Maybe we can figure out a time
for you to stay home.

788
00:42:43,143 --> 00:42:45,483
<i>I'd met Glenn at the magazine.</i>

789
00:42:47,106 --> 00:42:48,726
<i>He was nothing special.</i>

790
00:42:53,153 --> 00:42:54,783
<i>None of the guys I worked with were.</i>

791
00:42:54,780 --> 00:42:57,200
- He murdered it.
- He crushed it.

792
00:42:57,199 --> 00:43:00,909
He was a general with his foot
on the neck at the village he conquered.

793
00:43:00,911 --> 00:43:02,541
He's a barbarian.

794
00:43:02,538 --> 00:43:06,038
<i>They use war language
to describe writing.</i>

795
00:43:06,250 --> 00:43:09,840
<i>I'll tell you, if the American man
ever saw who was in charge</i>

796
00:43:09,837 --> 00:43:12,007
<i>of defining masculinity for him,</i>

797
00:43:12,006 --> 00:43:14,716
<i>he would seriously reconsider
his subscription.</i>

798
00:43:15,926 --> 00:43:18,346
<i>But this moment in my life
was not about Glenn.</i>

799
00:43:19,346 --> 00:43:20,426
<i>It was about me.</i>

800
00:43:25,185 --> 00:43:28,475
<i>I didn't so much love him,
as want to be part of him,</i>

801
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,520
<i>to eat him, to become him.</i>

802
00:43:30,524 --> 00:43:32,534
And you gotta be rigorous.

803
00:43:32,526 --> 00:43:35,896
<i>You have to understand,
I was never wild.</i>

804
00:43:35,904 --> 00:43:37,574
<i>I didn't have affairs.</i>

805
00:43:38,282 --> 00:43:42,082
<i>I didn't have good judgment
because I didn't have any experience.</i>

806
00:43:43,287 --> 00:43:44,907
<i>But I wanted what he had.</i>

807
00:43:45,623 --> 00:43:48,173
<i>I wanted to really participate in life.</i>

808
00:43:49,084 --> 00:43:53,764
<i>I wanted to eat the world the way he
and every other guy at the magazine did.</i>

809
00:43:59,053 --> 00:44:00,763
<i>I went about it the wrong way.</i>

810
00:44:04,183 --> 00:44:05,393
Sorry, I gotta go.

811
00:44:05,392 --> 00:44:08,852
<i>I used to blow smoke on him,
so his wife would know where he'd been.</i>

812
00:44:24,078 --> 00:44:28,168
<i>I didn't realize that the real power
I had was that I had no obligations.</i>

813
00:44:30,793 --> 00:44:32,803
<i>I could do whatever the hell I wanted.</i>

814
00:44:36,382 --> 00:44:38,512
<i>How was I supposed to know that one day,</i>

815
00:44:38,509 --> 00:44:41,099
<i>in seeking the safety
of a grown up life,</i>

816
00:44:41,095 --> 00:44:42,595
<i>I would lose that power?</i>

817
00:44:45,766 --> 00:44:47,016
<i>I am 41 now.</i>

818
00:44:48,143 --> 00:44:50,653
<i>I can't believe
how briefly I held that power.</i>

819
00:44:52,481 --> 00:44:57,031
<i>I can't believe how briefly I held it
and how quickly I gave it away.</i>

820
00:45:04,243 --> 00:45:06,413
<i>I've been smoking pot a lot recently.</i>

821
00:45:07,788 --> 00:45:09,248
<i>I hadn't done that in years.</i>

822
00:45:11,583 --> 00:45:15,003
<i>I thought about that thing Seth said
about how people have affairs,</i>

823
00:45:15,003 --> 00:45:17,093
<i>not because
they're betraying their spouses,</i>

824
00:45:17,089 --> 00:45:20,589
<i>but because they're trying to remember
who they were in the first place.</i>

825
00:45:20,592 --> 00:45:22,392
<i>I thought about that a lot lately.</i>

826
00:45:22,386 --> 00:45:25,216
- Hi.
- Hey. How was your day?

827
00:45:27,015 --> 00:45:30,265
It was fun. I don't remember.

828
00:45:31,145 --> 00:45:32,855
So, just like yesterday, huh?

829
00:45:38,527 --> 00:45:39,647
Hey, there.

830
00:45:39,820 --> 00:45:43,120
Yeah, I know we need to figure it out.
I just got home.

831
00:45:43,115 --> 00:45:44,945
Let me get my memo out.

832
00:45:47,035 --> 00:45:50,115
He perjured himself.
I owe you a cup of soup.

833
00:45:51,373 --> 00:45:52,833
Okay. All right.

834
00:45:52,833 --> 00:45:55,963
<i>That's probably why Glenn
was doing what he had been doing.</i>

835
00:45:55,961 --> 00:45:58,841
<i>It was certainly
why I was doing what I was doing now.</i>

836
00:46:01,091 --> 00:46:02,551
Goldstein at 1, did you say?

837
00:46:02,926 --> 00:46:04,426
<i>Only there's no affair.</i>

838
00:46:04,428 --> 00:46:07,258
<i>No clandestine meetings
in the stairwell.</i>

839
00:46:07,931 --> 00:46:11,771
<i>There's just a cigarette in the city
where I lived when I was young.</i>

840
00:46:14,855 --> 00:46:17,815
<i>How poorly I wear this life.</i>

841
00:46:18,609 --> 00:46:22,319
<i>How the adjustment to it is taking
so long, that I've started to feel like</i>

842
00:46:22,321 --> 00:46:25,991
<i>it isn't coming soon,
it isn't coming ever.</i>

843
00:46:27,117 --> 00:46:28,537
<i>It was never coming.</i>

844
00:46:30,662 --> 00:46:33,922
<i>This is what I was saying
about questions that can't be answered.</i>

845
00:46:36,043 --> 00:46:39,053
<i>Is life fair? How did I get here?</i>

846
00:46:42,883 --> 00:46:44,383
<i>Trust me,</i>

847
00:46:46,386 --> 00:46:48,306
<i>you shouldn't ask them.</i>

848
00:47:14,998 --> 00:47:16,708
<i>It's not</i>

849
00:47:18,585 --> 00:47:20,545
<i>What you thought</i>

850
00:47:22,756 --> 00:47:24,756
<i>When you first</i>

851
00:47:25,801 --> 00:47:28,971
<i>Began it</i>

852
00:47:30,097 --> 00:47:32,427
<i>You got</i>

853
00:47:33,725 --> 00:47:35,765
<i>What you want</i>

854
00:47:38,105 --> 00:47:43,105
<i>Now you can hardly stand it, though</i>

855
00:47:43,110 --> 00:47:45,200
<i>By now you know</i>

856
00:47:45,195 --> 00:47:49,695
<i>It's not going to stop</i>

857
00:47:52,202 --> 00:47:57,212
<i>It's not going to stop</i>

858
00:47:59,710 --> 00:48:04,630
<i>It's not going to stop</i>

859
00:48:05,966 --> 00:48:09,676
<i>Till you wise up</i>

860
00:48:15,517 --> 00:48:17,307
<i>You're sure...</i>
