Previously on Satisfaction. Could you tell me your name again? Mallory. I

wrote the algorithm.

The program determines what you need to make you happy. Should've stayed. You

were with someone. Whatever.

Just a friend bought away.

I don't like this idea of us working together.

You absolutely do need the money.

Dylan, this is my sister Stephanie.

Hi. You coming or what?

Last chance.

Guess what? I just got a date with Dylan.

Isn't that crazy?

Yeah, that's crazy.

What was that?

Just... What

is happening?

Renee, come back here right now! Renee!

Give it to me!

Babe, come on, come on. She's just a friend.

Again?

Yeah, but never as bad as this. Friends don't share genital pics.

It was a joke!

You saw that. Those aren't even my balls.

Oh, come on.

Have you lost your damn mind?

I'll be at my sister's tonight.

We're gonna come back here.

Come back here right now.

We should go in.

Let's go back inside.

Steve, I'm sorry.

You think they're gonna

get a divorce?

Oh, I don't know.

I'm glad we're not like that.

Like what?

Like the kind of people that destroy things.

I think the last time we had an argument like that, we were in our 20s.

And I can't even remember what it was about.

You forgot my birthday.

Remember I threw your keys across the parking lot?

That's right.

But my point is that we, you know, we don't have to have those petty arguments

to solve our problems. We just talk them through.

Don't we?

No, you never really want to talk.

I try.

Yeah, you do. You try.

You don't always want to talk.

You don't always listen.

Are you kidding me?

Okay, you know, I don't want to fight right now. We're not fighting.

Yes, we are. No, we're not.

Okay, fine, we're not.

You always make it too strong.

I can't get no satisfaction.

And I try, and I try, and I try, and I

try. I can't get no.

Yes, this is something.

I'm sorry, where did you say we met?

The Rouge Hotel.

No. No, that makes sense now.

I... I'm sorry, I'm gonna call you back, okay?

really doing this again you didn't have fun last time fixing something how manly

of you you don't wear one of those silly costumes on your ride do you i mean i

can understand if you're in the tour de france but getting all dressed up and

spandex shorts i thought we'd go on our separate ways what can i do for you we

did i just couldn't stay away i wanted to talk to you about getting married

Is this a proposal?

Of a sort, yes.

Rosalie?

I knew I had the

right size.

What the hell is going on here?

It's, uh, it's beautiful.

You really like it? Are you kidding? Of course she does. You love it, right?

I mean, you don't really see a lot of me in it, but... Grace, your ass looks

amazing. I will take credit for that because I did introduce her to spinning.

No, but I get it, though. You know, you take this abandoned space and you make

it feel human again.

Vulnerable. It's really powerful.

Yeah, that's it.

Exactly.

So where are you gonna hang it? Like, here?

Oh, I don't know if I can, uh... No, you know what? I just have to find the right

space for it.

And I have to finish packing, so we're taking our daughter on a college visit

to Rand University.

That's where she met Neil.

I actually played in a band at that school all the time. The Keystrokes.

The Keystrokes? Oh, my God. Can you get any cuter?

Oh!

Oh, were you the lead singer?

Oh, yeah.

I so wanted one of your cookies.

So, uh, Grace, you still need me to let the pool guy in? Yeah, Sunday morning.

Just tell him the water level's always down. Maybe there's a leak. Great. And

then after he fixes it, the pool party's on and popping. Yay!

Do you have that green juice you make? Yes, I do. In the fridge.

Do you want some? No, I'm good.

So it must be weird, huh?

Daughter looking at colleges already.

No, it's exciting, actually. I'm really looking forward to going on the tour

with her.

It's crazy to think we might have actually been at that school at the same

time. I know.

Maybe we even met.

No. I would have remembered you.

Can we stop for a second?

Something wrong?

Uh... What are you, um... I mean, what are... What are we, uh...

Um... Oh,

shit.

What'd you want to say?

I should go.

If my mom doesn't hear from me soon, she will probably call the cops.

Do you really think you're going to go to that college?

It's not that far.

If I end up going there, we can still see each other. Don't worry.

Anyways, it's not like I'm going next year.

Oh, that wasn't what I meant.

I just mean we could keep working together.

You know, on songs. I wouldn't be that far.

But who cares? It's not like we have to be in the same room for them.

Uh, so I'll text or call you when I get back or text you, whatever.

Wow, she's relentless.

Hey,

have fun.

Happiness is elusive.

And if we want Victor on board, we have to show him where the profit lies in

this. I can prepare some market research this weekend.

No, this isn't about typical market research. This is about, uh... I've got

your wife on line three.

Tell her I'll be right there.

Look into happiness.

Books, classes, therapy, drugs, religion.

I think this is so amazing what you're doing. We're all talking about it.

I'll get you everything you need.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey. Hey, where are you? We wanted to beat traffic.

Yeah, uh, look, something's come up.

Are you kidding me?

Neil, this is her first college visit.

And I told you that this could be a bad weekend.

And I told you this was the only weekend we could do this.

And you committed.

Victor is saying that he'll pull the project if I don't have something by

Monday, and I have put so much work into this. Okay, well, Victor doesn't have

kids, does he? He doesn't know how important this is. No, but he does sign

my paychecks, and without that, there is no college.

Look, I'm already on thin ice by experimenting with product development.

If I fail, I... Can we reschedule?

No, we can't reschedule. These trips have to be planned months in advance.

Damn it, Neil.

This is my job, Grace.

All right? I have to bring in an income.

I've got Victor on line three, Neil.

I'm sorry.

I... I don't mean to fight.

I can promise you...

i will be there on sunday fine

Brown rice.

Yeah.

Oh, and can you add an extra egg roll?

Thanks.

Um, credit card?

Number... Uh, you know what? I'll just pay cash.

Yeah.

Alright, thank you.

Hello?

I can hear you breathing, Neil.

Why are you calling me?

To pass along a message from Mallory.

Who?

Yeah, right. You know who.

I guess she was looking to recreate that special evening you two had.

So I explained to her that you were been shitting that night and gave her your

number.

My personal number?

Hey, you want to live the life, my friend, you got to learn how to handle

your clients.

And if you want any advice on how to really impress her for the second date,

I usually... You're welcome.

Course catalogs are available at the information table in the quad.

Catalogs are available at the information table in the quad.

Hi.

We're here to check in for the tour. Truman?

Yes. Welcome to Rand Truman's. How was your first night in the dorms? Oh, God.

It's been a long time.

Are the beds always that small?

We've been protesting those jailhouse conditions since freshman year.

Administration won't budge, but...

Who sleeps in college, right?

Annika, you are tour group D. You're going to meet your group at the statue

of Walter Bayer across the quad. School's first president.

Walter Bayer.

The slave-owning bigot turned war hero.

You told me to research the college before I got here. I researched.

She's not wrong.

Oh, wow. We used to decorate him every homecoming.

Do I have to wear a name tag? I really...

Don't wear a name tag.

I'm not going to stop you.

Oh, all right, Mom.

Wait, I think I'm coming with you. The tour is for potential incoming students

only.

Oh, well, I used to be a student here. Mom!

Okay, fine.

Hey, can you just please take some pictures so I... and text me when you're

done?

Good morning, Neil.

How can I make you happy today?

I want to be with my family. So how can I convince my bosses that you are

profitable? Quickly.

Here is a listing for six financial service companies in your area. Not

exactly what I was asking for.

Hello? You are three times more productive at work tasks after periods

of rest or leisure.

Acts of service or charity are also beneficial.

as they foster a sense of self-worth, releasing serotonin in the brain.

In other words, keep calm and do something nice, Neil.

You were right.

I did feel good.

You had two calls.

I sent them right to voicemail so you wouldn't be disturbed.

You sent them to voicemail? Wait, you can do that?

Yes. Should I add Mallory to your contacts?

Would you like to call her back?

All right. That should be enough. Yep.

Now, bury it.

I think it's fried, man.

I say it takes like one or two days.

I'll take that.

Got any beer?

Uh, yeah.

So, listen, man, I gotta ask.

You and Renee, the last two beers?

Come on, it's Saturday afternoon.

No kids, no wife.

Let's make a run.

I got some work to do.

Look, I know what you're getting at.

And, uh, sorry about all the noise, but that's just what it sounds like when

things are going well with us.

Going well?

You know that box you check when you download something online?

Terms and conditions, the shit you never read?

Well, in our relationship, I have my own terms and conditions.

And when she married my ass, she checked the box.

And when she violates them, I let her know.

But don't get it twisted.

She does the same to me.

Yeah, but, I mean, what does that have to do with screaming at each other?

It means we still care.

I mean, I get jealous if she gets attention from other men, and she gets

jealous if I get it from other women.

Isn't that a little... How long have you been married?

Because you know, once you stop fighting over the small things, you stop caring.

Look, what you hear over there, that isn't problems, man.

That's foreplay.

Because you know there's nothing better than some makeup sex after some good

fighting.

I'm looking for the design building.

A

series

of missed opportunities.

That's what college can be if you don't take advantage of all that a university

like Rand has to offer.

Okay, show of hands.

Who wants to get the most they can out of college?

Perfect.

Next, we're going to take a tour of our library.

It's our oldest building on campus, built in 1865.

Do your best to keep close and keep your voices low. Come on and follow me.

What are you doing here?

I had to see if you were lying to me.

You were right.

This isn't that far.

You still see each other and work on the music.

Right. The music.

You thought I just came all the way up here just to see you?

Come on.

So what you been up to?

It's really boring all day today.

It feels really strange to get used to this.

Try being married for real.

Not in your cards?

I don't know.

Maybe. If I found the right girl.

Fell in love.

There's no reason to get married.

Aren't you a hopeless romantic?

You know, not that long ago, most civilized societies, almost all

societies, really thought marrying for love was completely impractical.

Keeps us in business, though.

Speaking of business, the only reason I agreed to do this is because you offered

me five times my usual salary.

And you don't trust me?

Maybe you would make a good husband.

Satisfied. We're here.

You know... I can't wait to meet my wife now.

Lawrence, how can I make you happy today?

Man, this thing is trippy. Man, it's a work in progress.

How's it supposed to make me happy? Just give it a second and see what it says.

This is the Times article I was telling you about.

Forty years of happiness research stamped three simple steps.

Huh. What about beer? Did you get us some beer? You know what? I found some

in the garage. I put it on ice.

You didn't bring me one.

It appears your wife has not responded to your last seven emails, indicating a

marital rift of some sort. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Yeah, you know, you give it your email address, your social media handles, and

it does the rest.

You should apologize.

Why are you taking her side?

You know what? I think I just heard someone at the front door. Could you go

and check? Sure. Thank you.

I don't know, man. My computer already makes me happy.

It's called porn.

Uh, wasn't that the problem in the first place?

Well, that's all a matter of perspective.

Hey, hey!

Hey, Fred.

Good to see you. Yep, glad you could come.

What are you doing here, man?

I called him.

You know, I thought a guy in your predicament could do us some time out

with the boys.

Bunch of us are meeting up at the bar.

I'm your designated driver.

Oh, man, you did this for me?

That's cool.

But I already made plans.

I mean, why go to a bar if we can just chill right here? Oh, no, because I got

to work.

Neil, this is Phil, Eric, and Steve.

No, that's Steve. What's up? What's up, guys?

What's up? What's up? All right.

The board.

Professor Merchant. Yes?

Hi. You probably don't remember me. I was one of your students.

Grace.

My eyes get worse with age, but talent I never forget.

Turn around.

Vivian's husband keeps getting younger.

Lucky her.

Oh, and happy belated, Bill.

You shouldn't have.

He's all big.

All right.

Let him go.

Remember what I told you?

You mean that thing about not falling in love?

I'm a professional.

I know how to play the part.

I'll talk to you.

Great party, man. Last call.

What? We just ordered pizza.

No, you call them back. You tell them to take them next door. I have work to do.

Seriously, let everyone know.

Hey, guys.

There you are.

What are you doing?

Looking for this.

Dave brought imports.

All right. Good news and bad news. Bad news is that's the last of the beer.

Good news is that there's five pizzas on its way to your house right now. My

house?

Fine. It's cool. I'll gather the troops.

Yeah. Um, don't worry about the cleanup.

I got it.

What makes you think I was worried about that?

Okay, guys, you're wrapping it up. Pizzas are next door. They're getting

delivered right now. Chicken in the front is banging.

Let me see. That's a World of Warcraft body right there.

What are you doing? I thought I said that everyone needs to just break...

What is that?

You tell us.

I found it inside.

The hell?

Great. That's his wife.

I wasn't sure what to wear. Stephanie wrote me into something you're not going

to believe.

Oh, she told me she was doing a photo shoot, but... Didn't tell you that she

was getting naked with a bunch of people in public? Okay, I'm sure there's an

explanation.

Yeah, she lied.

Probably thought you were going to be upset.

She said, that was my wife, and she did that behind my back. All right, everyone

has to leave now. Everyone has to go.

Everybody, everybody, it's time to leave now.

What?

It's like I'm watching my own life.

That's how I feel sometimes.

And when I was here studying with you, I just could tap into something that felt

like me.

Now, I have a kid going to college. It just moves so fast. It's like, what

happened? Yeah.

You said you started working again?

Yes. I designed a lobby.

But they actually did a piece on it in Design Image Blog.

That's wonderful, Grace.

You told me to take that Fulbright.

In Italy, do you remember?

But you were in love.

Yeah, and we're still together.

I just, I wonder sometimes what, what would have happened if...

Well, as I say to the freshmen in my fundamentals class,

you can't always go back and fix, but you can move forward and improve.

In design as it is in life.

Rand sponsors a mid-career fellowship with the Design Institute of Milan.

There are several universities and organizations involved, so it's very

competitive. Candidates come by nomination only.

Lucky for you, I'm on the board.

Oh, that's great.

And I've nominated you.

What?

When?

Just now.

What do you want to play?

Figured I'd start with some chords.

Just make up something as we went along.

Funny.

What, you start singing?

I wouldn't even know what to say.

You up?

Do it together.

You remember what I said about taking a chance?

Why do you think I drove all the way out here to see you?

Risking everything is hard Not supposed to want you,

but here you are Stranger with paper hands A

pretty rose, but with a stem that wouldn't bend A pretty girl all

alone with no guitar in hand Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah

Chasing feelings, so it seems You never let me down Or

let me off the hook One kiss was all it took One kiss was all it took

I can't risk it all

It's a risk worth taking

Head or heart, I thought Which one to

follow?

Both are taken.

I can't risk it all.

It's a risk we're taking.

It's a risk we're taking.

You two lovebirds have an hour.

I'll be right outside.

Thanks, Shannon.

I really love what you've done with the place.

Yeah? Mm-hmm. Well, it's going to be home for the next 10 years, so might as

well feel like it.

So how does such a beautiful woman like yourself end up here?

Loyalty.

My husband, well, he embezzled millions from his hedge fund.

I supported it, and I supported him through court, and we

both paid the price.

He's in a correctional facility in Kansas.

I'm sure to hear that.

I'd do it again.

You must really love him.

Oh, from the moment we met.

He's the love of my life.

If I had to wait a hundred years to see him again, I would.

Let me help you forget that.

Thank you, everyone.

Feel free to show your appreciation.

I made like a tenth of this when I tried to play outside.

Know what that means?

You're better off as a team.

But I'm still carrying you, though. All right?

So, should we celebrate?

What's that?

Sex on the beach?

Oh, no. I ordered chardonnay.

Oh.

Sorry.

It's okay.

You know, I used to work here, like...

20 years ago when I was in college.

It's nice, it hasn't changed.

You still have live music?

When can I see you again?

I guess that's up to Adriana.

Actually, it's up to my husband.

He pays for these visits, and I pay for his out of my account.

Did you guys... with other people before when you were married?

No.

Well, what's it gonna be like when you see him again?

I don't understand.

If... If you love each other that much... We'll forgive each other.

When you sacrifice this much to stay married, you have no choice.

It doesn't sound like love.

Maybe not.

But it feels like it.

How was the honeymoon?

Let's go. Time's up.

What's your name again?

I said let's go.

Kurt! Neil!

Hi! You're here! Hi!

Oh my god!

Annika's gonna be so happy!

You're not gonna believe what happened. I went to my old design building and I

ran into my professor and... What? You lied to me.

What? What? You took your clothes off for someone else and you hid it from me

like, like, like I wouldn't find out.

What are you talking about?

You know what I'm talking about.

When, uh, how did you... You didn't exactly hide it very well, Grace.

Framed photo, you butt naked.

The photo, right. Yeah.

Dylan dropped it off yesterday and I didn't get any shits. Who's Dylan?

The photographer who took the picture for the blog and he asked Stephanie and

I to model. A naked photo session is something you and I should have

discussed, Grace.

Why? So I could get your permission?

Yes.

Are you serious?

Yes, I'm serious.

I'm the only one that should see you naked, Grace.

Are you jealous?

You're damn right I'm jealous.

If you ever lie to me like this again, I'll... What are you going to do?

on Red Bull or something?

I just, I'm glad you came.

I missed you.

It's only been 24 hours, but I guess I do have that effect sometimes.

You know, I think I throw off a sentence on you. Shut up.

Whoa, your parents.

My mom said she's meeting some friends at an old bar they used to go to, and

I've seen that woman with wine and friends.

It's going to be a while.

You don't have to.

I want to.

Look, I was a dick the other night at my apartment. I didn't know how to say it,

what we are.

I like you a lot.

I want to be a thing, you know, the two of us, if that's cool with you.

What's up?

Dad!

I... Um... This is Mateo.

Nice to meet you.

Ted, we were just singing together, okay?

How old are you?

What does that have to do with anything?

Are you a student here? Did you just meet on the tour?

No, Mrs. Truman.

Then who the hell are you?

I'm her boyfriend.

I beat my tongue through all last night.

And all through breakfast.

Can we deal with her now?

Just don't get worked up. Our daughter snuck a boy into her room. How can I not

be worked up? I'll talk to her. Young love, you do crazy things.

We both did.

She's a teenager.

Exactly. Surely you're not so. You've forgotten what that's like.

Just let's lie down for a bit. It was a long drive and I'm exhausted.

Hey, want to make us some breakfast?

Hi.

Hi.

You have to plug it in first.

What are you doing home? What are you doing in my house? Well, I had to let

the pool guy in, so I figured I would, you know, stay the night.

Looks like someone had a pool party before I could.

Hey, look who's home early.

Yeah, I see that.

Um, Dylan, this is my husband, Neil. Neil, Dylan.

Sorry for the surprise.

Oh, yeah.

It's okay.

Let me show you what the pool guy showed me.

Oh, yeah.

You're the photographer?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, you're the husband.

Yo.

Didn't work.

I guess rice is only good for weddings, huh?

Well, it was worth a try.

How you doing?

Good. Uh, Renee back yet?

Not yet.

You keep your window shut, though, because when she does come home, there's

going to be some serious make-up sex happening. Looking forward to it. Yes,

sir.

All right, man.

All right.

Don't like it there.

Well, too bad.

That's why I get to see your ass every morning.

You really get to do that?

Not enough for my taste.

What's wrong?

Just that dorm bed we slept in last night, like a shoebox. I don't know how

we ever managed to sleep in those in college.

Well, we just had to get close.

Hold on.

Now I remember.

Probably just Victor wants to see my progress on that project.

Just spoon me.

Tell me how jealous you are again.

Hmm.
