00:00:09,017 --> 00:00:11,574
Hello, and welcome back
to <i>Dueling Pencils,</i>

2
00:00:11,578 --> 00:00:14,869
the only podcast where one
story always has two sides.

3
00:00:14,873 --> 00:00:18,957
Today, filling in for my usual
co-host is Esmeralda Grand,

4
00:00:18,961 --> 00:00:21,000
editor of <i>TTT Online.</i>

5
00:00:21,004 --> 00:00:24,420
Thank you, Ned.
Ciao, Toledo, I love you.

6
00:00:24,424 --> 00:00:26,923
Today's topic is fragrances.

7
00:00:26,927 --> 00:00:28,675
Are they a must
or are they a bust?

8
00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:29,842
Let's find out.

9
00:00:29,846 --> 00:00:31,678
I say if I can smell you

10
00:00:31,682 --> 00:00:32,845
before I can see you,

11
00:00:32,849 --> 00:00:34,180
you're making a big mistake.

12
00:00:34,184 --> 00:00:36,703
Same. Agree. Good point, Ned.

13
00:00:38,855 --> 00:00:40,979
You're also welcome
to offer a counterpoint.

14
00:00:40,983 --> 00:00:44,065
Oh, I thought because
they were both pencils...

15
00:00:44,069 --> 00:00:45,400
No, they're dueling pencils.

16
00:00:45,404 --> 00:00:47,277
Of course they're doodling,
they're pencils.

17
00:00:47,281 --> 00:00:49,362
Not doodling, dueling pencils.

18
00:00:49,366 --> 00:00:51,030
-What's "dueling"?
-Dueling is fighting.

19
00:00:51,034 --> 00:00:52,365
Your people invented it.

20
00:00:52,369 --> 00:00:54,242
Did you listen to the episodes
that I sent you?

21
00:00:54,246 --> 00:00:55,994
Or read the name of the podcast?
It's on the mug.

22
00:00:55,998 --> 00:00:59,497
Why not call it "Pen and
Pencil"? Those are opposites.

23
00:00:59,501 --> 00:01:02,208
Just disagree with me.
I say, "Fragrances are bad."

24
00:01:02,212 --> 00:01:04,002
-You say...
-Fragrances are good

25
00:01:04,006 --> 00:01:05,169
and you smell like shit.

26
00:01:05,173 --> 00:01:06,537
I win. Next topic.

27
00:01:06,541 --> 00:01:09,799
Welcome to <i>Dueling Pencils.</i>
My usual co-host is out today,

28
00:01:09,803 --> 00:01:13,511
so I am joined by local
radio legend, Salty Peanuts.

29
00:01:13,515 --> 00:01:15,805
It's Salty Peanuts,
WBRT, the Bert.

30
00:01:15,809 --> 00:01:17,473
We're not on that right now.

31
00:01:17,477 --> 00:01:19,267
Fragrances is the topic
of the day,

32
00:01:19,271 --> 00:01:20,768
and Salty, I don't like 'em.

33
00:01:20,772 --> 00:01:23,354
Yeah, fragrances, you know what,
fragrances and rights.

34
00:01:23,358 --> 00:01:25,857
Women have too many
of both of them, eh?

35
00:01:25,861 --> 00:01:28,151
These opinions, by the way,
are mine alone,

36
00:01:28,155 --> 00:01:30,424
and are not shared by
WBRT, the Bert.

37
00:01:31,533 --> 00:01:34,094
-You're an awful person.
-I know.

38
00:01:35,037 --> 00:01:36,179
I know.

39
00:01:36,913 --> 00:01:39,120
Welcome to <i>Dueling Pencil.</i>

40
00:01:39,124 --> 00:01:40,705
I am your host Ned Sampson,

41
00:01:40,709 --> 00:01:42,999
fragrances.

42
00:01:43,003 --> 00:01:47,482
Listener, I don't like 'em.
But also, I get it.

43
00:02:20,415 --> 00:02:22,872
<i>I haven't felt great
the last two weeks.</i>

44
00:02:22,876 --> 00:02:24,624
<i>I'm not sure what it is.</i>

45
00:02:25,796 --> 00:02:27,752
{\an8}<i>Might be connected to
the flu shot</i>

46
00:02:27,756 --> 00:02:30,296
{\an8}<i>that Ann made us all get
to protect Marv.</i>

47
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:32,632
{\an8}I mean, I'll feel bad
if that's what it is

48
00:02:32,636 --> 00:02:35,635
{\an8}because it seems
kind of anti-vaxx.

49
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,908
{\an8}My body is usually
very pro-science.

50
00:02:39,309 --> 00:02:41,224
<i>A parasite
from the cat that I got</i>

51
00:02:41,228 --> 00:02:43,559
<i>to make my apartment feel
less lonely.</i>

52
00:02:43,563 --> 00:02:45,144
<i>That's been
the worst part, though.</i>

53
00:02:45,148 --> 00:02:47,980
Everyone in the office
finding out about me and Mare

54
00:02:47,984 --> 00:02:49,628
<i>at the same time we broke up.</i>

55
00:02:51,697 --> 00:02:54,821
-How long have you been there?
-As long as you need me.

56
00:02:54,825 --> 00:02:56,739
-You're gonna get through this.
-Father God,

57
00:02:56,743 --> 00:02:59,325
I just commit Ned Sampson
in your hands.

58
00:02:59,329 --> 00:03:01,911
No.
I'm not praying for him.

59
00:03:01,915 --> 00:03:03,621
He just patted me
on the back yesterday,

60
00:03:03,625 --> 00:03:05,665
and I hate that,
so this is payback.

61
00:03:05,669 --> 00:03:09,377
Okay. You're good.
And you will get through this.

62
00:03:09,381 --> 00:03:10,816
You are strong.

63
00:03:14,636 --> 00:03:17,719
<i>Yeah, the rumors
died down. Which is nice.</i>

64
00:03:17,723 --> 00:03:21,868
Except for the Joe Burrow one,
but I don't really mind that.

65
00:03:22,686 --> 00:03:24,016
<i>It's been okay.</i>

66
00:03:24,020 --> 00:03:26,102
<i>Yeah, I talked to Ned a week ago?</i>

67
00:03:26,106 --> 00:03:27,290
<i>Week and a half?</i>

68
00:03:28,150 --> 00:03:29,188
Um...

69
00:03:29,192 --> 00:03:30,773
So I've been working with Todd

70
00:03:30,777 --> 00:03:33,693
on this big investigative story
that should be front page,

71
00:03:33,697 --> 00:03:36,070
so it's kind of hard to think
about anything else.

72
00:03:36,074 --> 00:03:38,364
<i>You know,
I think it's for the best.</i>

73
00:03:38,368 --> 00:03:42,201
Things were just getting
so weird.

74
00:03:46,877 --> 00:03:47,807
Ooh! Look at you

75
00:03:47,811 --> 00:03:50,543
handing off files
like a little badass.

76
00:03:50,547 --> 00:03:51,836
It's just paperwork.

77
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,527
I bet you could lift
so much paper.

78
00:04:00,015 --> 00:04:02,138
It's 8:45 in the morning.

79
00:04:02,142 --> 00:04:03,660
I'm so bad.

80
00:04:04,728 --> 00:04:06,184
Detrick.

81
00:04:06,188 --> 00:04:07,977
I see. Everyone sees.

82
00:04:11,693 --> 00:04:13,649
These last couple of weeks
have been incredible.

83
00:04:13,653 --> 00:04:15,693
<i>Ned and I,
we've been going really hard</i>

84
00:04:15,697 --> 00:04:17,445
<i>on this Glass Club railing story.</i>

85
00:04:17,449 --> 00:04:18,780
<i>Oh, yeah,
Detrick's kicking butt.</i>

86
00:04:18,784 --> 00:04:21,949
We show the final draft
to the lawyers today

87
00:04:21,953 --> 00:04:23,409
and then it hits the stands.

88
00:04:23,413 --> 00:04:26,579
Turns out, Desmond Sandoval
was serving tables

89
00:04:26,583 --> 00:04:27,997
on the day of the tornado.

90
00:04:28,001 --> 00:04:30,666
But it wasn't a tornado
or murder that got him.

91
00:04:30,670 --> 00:04:33,252
<i>A gust of wind grabbed a napkin
from his tray,</i>

92
00:04:33,256 --> 00:04:34,712
<i>threw it off the roof.</i>

93
00:04:34,716 --> 00:04:36,589
<i>He chased it and fell...</i>

94
00:04:36,593 --> 00:04:38,591
<i>because the railing was too low.</i>

95
00:04:38,595 --> 00:04:40,551
<i>Ned said
it was better than murder.</i>

96
00:04:40,555 --> 00:04:41,928
He said it was pervasive bribery

97
00:04:41,932 --> 00:04:43,971
in the City Building
Inspection Department.

98
00:04:43,975 --> 00:04:45,306
And that's our story.

99
00:04:45,310 --> 00:04:47,433
Okay, stop it. Stop it.

100
00:04:53,944 --> 00:04:57,235
Nicole. Everything okay?

101
00:04:57,239 --> 00:04:59,883
Mm-hmm!

102
00:05:01,117 --> 00:05:03,658
<i>I don't know
who New Cole is...</i>

103
00:05:03,662 --> 00:05:04,575
Phew...

104
00:05:04,579 --> 00:05:06,786
But she is a contender.

105
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:09,539
<i>I recently
started a relationship</i>

106
00:05:09,543 --> 00:05:11,624
<i>with one of the wealthiest</i>

107
00:05:11,628 --> 00:05:16,128
<i>and most powerful men
in Toledo, Dustin Bonacker.</i>

108
00:05:16,132 --> 00:05:19,632
It's not romantic yet.

109
00:05:19,636 --> 00:05:22,844
And so the hours are
from 7 p.m. to midnight,

110
00:05:22,848 --> 00:05:26,180
<i>turning down his bed,
giving him a bath.</i>

111
00:05:26,184 --> 00:05:29,141
And the best part
is that I can bring Matteo.

112
00:05:29,145 --> 00:05:32,144
And he has a nice, quiet place

113
00:05:32,148 --> 00:05:33,771
where he can have dinner

114
00:05:33,775 --> 00:05:36,878
and do his homework
in the laundry room.

115
00:05:38,196 --> 00:05:39,652
-Hey.
-Hey.

116
00:05:39,656 --> 00:05:42,572
Can we talk about what happened
during the tornado?

117
00:05:42,576 --> 00:05:44,240
{\an8}-Sorry. Sorry.
-It's okay.

118
00:05:44,244 --> 00:05:45,992
It's okay. It's okay.

119
00:05:45,996 --> 00:05:48,035
I don't think
we need to talk about it.

120
00:05:48,039 --> 00:05:50,121
-Like never...?
-I don't think we ever

121
00:05:50,125 --> 00:05:51,414
need to talk about it.

122
00:05:51,418 --> 00:05:52,727
-Never.
-Never.

123
00:05:54,087 --> 00:05:57,003
-Okay. All right.
-Okay then. Mm-hmm.

124
00:05:59,342 --> 00:06:00,610
Shit.

125
00:06:01,428 --> 00:06:03,593
That's ridiculous.

126
00:06:03,597 --> 00:06:06,032
Matteo got a C-minus in math.

127
00:06:07,809 --> 00:06:12,018
There is so much unfairness
to boys in the school system.

128
00:06:12,022 --> 00:06:15,354
I think I need to do
an Esmeralda Undercover

129
00:06:15,358 --> 00:06:18,024
about this horrible
social problem.

130
00:06:19,821 --> 00:06:21,736
<i>Oh. Esmeralda Undercover.</i>

131
00:06:21,740 --> 00:06:22,945
Every now and then,

132
00:06:22,949 --> 00:06:25,114
Esmeralda likes
to put on a disguise

133
00:06:25,118 --> 00:06:27,700
to expose prejudice
of various kinds.

134
00:06:27,704 --> 00:06:30,328
She first tried one
about weight discrimination.

135
00:06:30,332 --> 00:06:32,955
Everyone should be able to play.

136
00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:34,728
Slides are for everyone.

137
00:06:37,797 --> 00:06:40,796
See? Fat-phobic architecture.

138
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,131
Then she took on the plight

139
00:06:42,135 --> 00:06:44,300
of the unattractive man
in the dating world.

140
00:06:44,304 --> 00:06:46,385
Hello, girls, I'm Frank.

141
00:06:46,389 --> 00:06:47,887
Just because...

142
00:06:47,891 --> 00:06:52,099
I'm not Marlon Brando,
what should I do?

143
00:06:52,103 --> 00:06:54,602
Hide in a hole and die?

144
00:06:54,606 --> 00:06:57,146
Why are you pointing
your deodorant at me?

145
00:06:57,150 --> 00:06:59,982
Needless to say, these pieces
were never published.

146
00:06:59,986 --> 00:07:03,611
She has a new one,
and I'm very excited.

147
00:07:03,615 --> 00:07:05,780
All right, class, uh...

148
00:07:05,784 --> 00:07:08,908
I don't completely understand
the situation,

149
00:07:08,912 --> 00:07:13,621
but Principal Bourla says that
a man named Dustin Bonacker

150
00:07:13,625 --> 00:07:16,499
has offered a financial donation

151
00:07:16,503 --> 00:07:20,962
if we host a special visitor
to our classroom this afternoon.

152
00:07:20,966 --> 00:07:23,464
It seems
a confused woman believes

153
00:07:23,468 --> 00:07:25,049
that she's a boy your age.

154
00:07:25,053 --> 00:07:26,759
So I expect all of you

155
00:07:26,763 --> 00:07:28,761
to behave with your usual...

156
00:07:28,765 --> 00:07:31,117
politeness and kindness.

157
00:07:32,435 --> 00:07:34,183
-Okay.
-Yo, bros.

158
00:07:34,187 --> 00:07:36,185
-Hello.
-Oh, God.

159
00:07:36,189 --> 00:07:40,189
I'm Jayden. I'm transferring in
from another school.

160
00:07:40,193 --> 00:07:42,942
Moving sucks, right? No cap.

161
00:07:42,946 --> 00:07:46,612
I hope I'll be treated fairly,
even if I'm a boy.

162
00:07:46,616 --> 00:07:48,280
I hope so too.

163
00:07:48,284 --> 00:07:51,909
-Can I sit next to you, man?
-Please, no.

164
00:07:52,706 --> 00:07:54,099
I appreciate you, man.

165
00:07:56,084 --> 00:07:58,332
<i>Wait, wait,
that's your legal advice?</i>

166
00:07:58,336 --> 00:08:01,627
What do you mean we have to cut
the parts about the Glass Club?

167
00:08:01,631 --> 00:08:04,922
The headline is "Glass Club
Bribes City Inspectors."

168
00:08:04,926 --> 00:08:08,092
What should we change that to?
"No One Bribes City Inspectors"?

169
00:08:08,096 --> 00:08:10,428
-That would work. Perfect.
-That would not make sen...

170
00:08:10,432 --> 00:08:12,346
I'm mocking you. Tell him.

171
00:08:12,350 --> 00:08:15,099
-He's mocking you, Dante, Jesus.
-No, I see that now.

172
00:08:15,103 --> 00:08:19,103
The thing is, Marv, that you
told the Glass Club in an email

173
00:08:19,107 --> 00:08:21,647
that <i>TTT</i> would write no
hostile stories about them

174
00:08:21,651 --> 00:08:23,941
in order to ensure
their continued advertising,

175
00:08:23,945 --> 00:08:26,235
and that could be viewed
as an implied contract.

176
00:08:26,239 --> 00:08:30,156
That was to do with
my misguided crusade, okay?

177
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:30,990
This is to do with

178
00:08:30,994 --> 00:08:33,034
our correctly guided
crime reporting.

179
00:08:33,038 --> 00:08:35,202
But it doesn't matter.
A promise is a promise

180
00:08:35,206 --> 00:08:36,954
and you made them a promise.
In writing.

181
00:08:36,958 --> 00:08:38,414
It's an implied contract.

182
00:08:38,418 --> 00:08:41,083
But an implied contract
has the same legal strength.

183
00:08:41,087 --> 00:08:42,460
You know what, Dante,

184
00:08:42,464 --> 00:08:44,170
stick to toilet paper.

185
00:08:44,174 --> 00:08:45,838
You get one parking space...

186
00:08:45,842 --> 00:08:47,506
that's uncovered,

187
00:08:47,510 --> 00:08:48,674
-in the front...
-Sorry.

188
00:08:48,678 --> 00:08:50,051
And it comes with
in-unit laundry.

189
00:08:50,055 --> 00:08:50,951
No need for coins.

190
00:08:50,955 --> 00:08:53,262
Uh, the laundromat's
a little sketchy.

191
00:08:53,266 --> 00:08:55,097
I am literally outraged.

192
00:08:55,101 --> 00:08:57,933
We made so many sacrifices
to get the truth out there.

193
00:08:57,937 --> 00:09:00,770
My best reporter was sent
to another city.

194
00:09:00,774 --> 00:09:02,855
This is... It's so hot in here.
Are you hot?

195
00:09:02,859 --> 00:09:05,024
Nice job, Dante.
You worried the man sick.

196
00:09:05,028 --> 00:09:07,401
No, I didn't. I did
absolutely nothing of the kind.

197
00:09:07,405 --> 00:09:11,030
Listen to your tone. You deliver
bad news with such zeal.

198
00:09:11,034 --> 00:09:12,698
-Oh! Oh, no! Ooh!
-Oh!

199
00:09:12,702 --> 00:09:13,866
Call an ambulance.

200
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:15,367
-Ned. Elevate his legs.
-Oh! Uh...

201
00:09:15,371 --> 00:09:17,119
That doesn't look good.
I wouldn't touch him

202
00:09:17,123 --> 00:09:18,323
if I were you.

203
00:09:21,419 --> 00:09:23,751
-Thank you.
-Mm-hmm.

204
00:09:27,092 --> 00:09:28,422
-Hey.
-Hey.

205
00:09:28,426 --> 00:09:30,466
I came as soon
as I got your call.

206
00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:32,301
<i>I don't know
what's going on here,</i>

207
00:09:32,305 --> 00:09:33,636
<i>but if it's the worst,</i>

208
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:34,929
<i>I want you to write my obituary.</i>

209
00:09:34,933 --> 00:09:36,201
Ned, what's happening?

210
00:09:36,810 --> 00:09:38,849
Whoa.

211
00:09:38,853 --> 00:09:40,768
-I know.
-What's going on?

212
00:09:40,772 --> 00:09:43,666
They don't know.
They think it might be my heart.

213
00:09:54,285 --> 00:09:56,909
I just... I'm so sorry
that we had a fight.

214
00:09:56,913 --> 00:09:58,035
That was all my fault.

215
00:09:58,039 --> 00:09:59,370
Everything was all my fault,

216
00:09:59,374 --> 00:10:01,455
and I'm just so happy...

217
00:10:01,459 --> 00:10:03,707
That I get to die
looking at your face.

218
00:10:03,711 --> 00:10:05,251
-Don't talk like that.
-Listen to me.

219
00:10:05,255 --> 00:10:07,920
If I come back as somebody else,

220
00:10:07,924 --> 00:10:09,922
-I will come and find you, okay?
-Okay.

221
00:10:09,926 --> 00:10:12,299
If you get a call
from a college-aged guy

222
00:10:12,303 --> 00:10:14,760
when you're in your fifties,
take the call.

223
00:10:14,764 --> 00:10:16,679
-Ned...
-Answer all your calls.

224
00:10:16,683 --> 00:10:18,681
Okay. Let's just focus

225
00:10:18,685 --> 00:10:20,432
-on getting you better.
-Mm-hmm.

226
00:10:20,436 --> 00:10:21,976
God, I can't believe
the timing on this.

227
00:10:21,980 --> 00:10:24,478
I was just about to sign
a six-month lease.

228
00:10:24,482 --> 00:10:25,667
Really?

229
00:10:27,193 --> 00:10:28,274
But you won't now?

230
00:10:28,278 --> 00:10:31,110
-Mr. Sampson?
-Oh... Yes, Doctor.

231
00:10:31,114 --> 00:10:33,612
Glad you're awake.
As we suspected,

232
00:10:33,616 --> 00:10:36,740
tests confirm
exposure to toxic mold.

233
00:10:36,744 --> 00:10:39,160
Ned. Jesus.

234
00:10:39,164 --> 00:10:41,745
No, no.
Just a simple allergy to mold.

235
00:10:41,749 --> 00:10:45,166
I see you're responding well
to the medication we gave you.

236
00:10:45,170 --> 00:10:47,710
Um, Doctor, what meds is he on?

237
00:10:47,714 --> 00:10:48,711
Benadryl.

238
00:10:48,715 --> 00:10:50,004
-Oh...
-Oh...

239
00:10:50,008 --> 00:10:52,381
We're sure it's not
a heart blockage?

240
00:10:52,385 --> 00:10:54,091
I think there was
some talk of that.

241
00:10:54,095 --> 00:10:56,177
No, no, that was just from you.

242
00:10:56,181 --> 00:10:57,156
Oh.

243
00:10:59,434 --> 00:11:02,516
Hey, Ned, I-I think I found
what was making you sick.

244
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,685
-Oh.
-Nurse?

245
00:11:04,689 --> 00:11:06,187
Smells kind of funky.

246
00:11:06,191 --> 00:11:07,521
Ooh.

247
00:11:07,525 --> 00:11:09,377
-My God.
-Thank you.

248
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,785
Hm...

249
00:11:21,789 --> 00:11:23,370
What was it, I wonder.

250
00:11:23,374 --> 00:11:25,915
It was a blueberry muffin
from The Granary.

251
00:11:25,919 --> 00:11:27,708
<i>It's a present
I left on your desk.</i>

252
00:11:27,712 --> 00:11:29,314
<i>Monday after the awards.</i>

253
00:11:31,591 --> 00:11:34,381
Ah. Yep, mold.

254
00:11:34,385 --> 00:11:35,507
Oh.

255
00:11:35,511 --> 00:11:38,302
-With a cute note.
-Right.

256
00:11:38,306 --> 00:11:40,408
-What did it say?
-Doesn't matter.

257
00:11:46,856 --> 00:11:48,312
What's this for?

258
00:11:48,316 --> 00:11:50,752
I'm not supposed
to talk about it.

259
00:11:59,202 --> 00:12:01,742
So, when you have, like,
what you have,

260
00:12:01,746 --> 00:12:03,244
are you allowed
to drive yourself?

261
00:12:03,248 --> 00:12:06,121
No, of course not.
I'm not 16. Yet.

262
00:12:06,125 --> 00:12:09,792
In the place where you live,
are there other people like you?

263
00:12:09,796 --> 00:12:12,670
Oh, you're asking
if I have a bro-bro?

264
00:12:12,674 --> 00:12:15,256
Yeah, he just turned 47.

265
00:12:15,260 --> 00:12:18,425
He's cool, I guess.
We could be closer.

266
00:12:18,429 --> 00:12:19,843
Do you drink beer?

267
00:12:19,847 --> 00:12:22,513
Of course not,
I'm a woman. I drink wine.

268
00:12:22,517 --> 00:12:26,267
Yeah, no, I-I drink juice.
I'm a kid, you know?

269
00:12:27,071 --> 00:12:29,979
Guys, we all drink juice.
Dudes.

270
00:12:29,983 --> 00:12:31,730
Let me get this straight.

271
00:12:31,734 --> 00:12:33,190
-I left you a gift...
-Mm-hmm.

272
00:12:33,194 --> 00:12:34,775
-On your desk...
-Mm-hmm.

273
00:12:34,779 --> 00:12:38,404
That you never opened,
then obviously forgot about.

274
00:12:38,408 --> 00:12:40,364
Because you don't want anyone
to know I was your girlfriend?

275
00:12:40,368 --> 00:12:42,992
-I intended to open it.
-Who does that?

276
00:12:42,996 --> 00:12:44,868
To be fair, it was behind
some stuff on a shelf.

277
00:12:44,872 --> 00:12:46,078
-Detrick...
-Very easy to miss.

278
00:12:46,082 --> 00:12:47,538
Do not defend him right now.

279
00:12:47,542 --> 00:12:49,456
-Thank you, Detrick.
-This is all you, Ned, okay.

280
00:12:49,460 --> 00:12:51,208
This, this is
the mold of indecision.

281
00:12:51,212 --> 00:12:53,711
That is
very well put, but I disagree.

282
00:12:53,715 --> 00:12:55,254
It is the mold of restraint.

283
00:12:55,258 --> 00:12:56,839
-That's a noble mold.
-Restraint?

284
00:12:56,843 --> 00:12:59,425
You were just worrying how
dating me would make you look.

285
00:12:59,429 --> 00:13:01,093
-Just admit it.
-No, I was worried about

286
00:13:01,097 --> 00:13:02,970
how dating me
would make <i>you</i> look.

287
00:13:02,974 --> 00:13:05,431
-What?
-I've dated plenty of nurses.

288
00:13:05,435 --> 00:13:07,099
It always works out.

289
00:13:07,103 --> 00:13:09,476
-Thank you.
-Jesus Christ.

290
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,711
If I was important to you,

291
00:13:10,715 --> 00:13:14,002
you would've opened my gift
that day instead of ignoring me.

292
00:13:15,945 --> 00:13:17,776
All right, give me the muffin.

293
00:13:17,780 --> 00:13:18,861
-No, Ned.
-No. Sir, no.

294
00:13:18,865 --> 00:13:20,195
Step back! Step back!

295
00:13:20,199 --> 00:13:21,655
Don't eat the muffin.
Don't eat...

296
00:13:21,659 --> 00:13:22,656
I'm happy to eat it.

297
00:13:22,660 --> 00:13:23,907
I'm happy to eat the muffin.

298
00:13:23,911 --> 00:13:25,159
Don't eat it now. Don't eat it.

299
00:13:25,163 --> 00:13:26,410
No. Ned!

300
00:13:26,414 --> 00:13:28,203
-Oh, that is awful.
-Stop!

301
00:13:28,207 --> 00:13:31,081
-You're being an asshole.
-Ned, you're insane.

302
00:13:31,085 --> 00:13:32,541
-Just cough it up.
-Put two fingers in.

303
00:13:32,545 --> 00:13:34,084
There we go, there we go.

304
00:13:34,088 --> 00:13:35,336
My jaws are weak.

305
00:13:35,340 --> 00:13:37,296
What did you put
in that Benadryl?

306
00:13:37,300 --> 00:13:38,672
Yo, bros.

307
00:13:38,676 --> 00:13:40,174
Tell me about the teacher.

308
00:13:40,178 --> 00:13:43,302
I'm just asking as a kid,
not some dumb journalist.

309
00:13:43,306 --> 00:13:45,763
Is she unfair to all boys?

310
00:13:45,767 --> 00:13:48,119
Or just that squirt
with a big head?

311
00:13:49,270 --> 00:13:52,686
Hey, guys, sorry my mom's nuts.

312
00:13:52,690 --> 00:13:57,566
Your mom's not nuts,
she just has problems, you know?

313
00:13:57,570 --> 00:13:59,276
-One second.
-Bullshit.

314
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,694
Just trying to stop this.

315
00:14:00,698 --> 00:14:02,696
That's bullshit, man.

316
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:04,365
Hey, Mom? Mom.

317
00:14:04,369 --> 00:14:07,493
Maybe you could just
chill out a little bit?

318
00:14:07,497 --> 00:14:08,994
Who are you, huh?

319
00:14:08,998 --> 00:14:11,288
You can't call
another boy "Mom"...

320
00:14:11,292 --> 00:14:13,707
-Stop pushing me.
-and not get pounded.

321
00:14:13,711 --> 00:14:15,209
-Stop.
-He calls the mom.

322
00:14:15,213 --> 00:14:18,837
-Hey, Jayden. Chill out.
-Do you miss your mom so much?

323
00:14:18,841 --> 00:14:20,881
-You little punk. You little...
-Son.

324
00:14:20,885 --> 00:14:22,174
Enough.

325
00:14:22,178 --> 00:14:23,801
-Okay...
-Stop!

326
00:14:23,805 --> 00:14:25,803
You're the one who volunteered
to move to a different city.

327
00:14:25,807 --> 00:14:28,972
Oh, come on. That was something
I blurted out in the moment.

328
00:14:28,976 --> 00:14:31,058
You're the one
whose thoughtlessness

329
00:14:31,062 --> 00:14:33,289
has literally hospitalized you.

330
00:14:34,323 --> 00:14:37,189
All right, look, I didn't forget
about your gift...

331
00:14:37,193 --> 00:14:39,691
-Then what?
-or not care about it, okay?

332
00:14:39,695 --> 00:14:41,652
I was saving it.

333
00:14:41,656 --> 00:14:43,091
Until I really earned it.

334
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,531
It was gonna be my reward.

335
00:14:45,535 --> 00:14:48,346
For when we finished
the Glass Club crusade.

336
00:14:50,164 --> 00:14:52,996
I just... Anyone else,
I would think, is full of shit,

337
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,373
but I weirdly believe you

338
00:14:54,377 --> 00:14:57,230
for how specific and insane
that logic is.

339
00:14:58,005 --> 00:14:59,440
Um...

340
00:15:01,342 --> 00:15:03,173
-I gotta go.
-No.

341
00:15:03,177 --> 00:15:04,550
-I...
-You just got here.

342
00:15:04,554 --> 00:15:06,218
I know, I have
a long drive home, though.

343
00:15:06,222 --> 00:15:07,261
Don't... Don't leave.

344
00:15:07,265 --> 00:15:08,554
I-I have a lease to sign.

345
00:15:08,558 --> 00:15:10,180
Please.
No, don't sign the lease.

346
00:15:10,184 --> 00:15:12,036
Please don't sign the lease.

347
00:15:14,730 --> 00:15:16,186
<i>Fuck!</i>

348
00:15:16,190 --> 00:15:19,293
Don't get comfortable.
We need the bed back now.

349
00:15:25,241 --> 00:15:26,384
Nope.

350
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,246
Should you be back at work?

351
00:15:34,250 --> 00:15:35,539
I have dry mouth, dizziness,

352
00:15:35,543 --> 00:15:37,583
and blurred vision,
but I feel alive.

353
00:15:37,587 --> 00:15:39,334
-What's happening?
-Nothing good.

354
00:15:39,338 --> 00:15:40,836
Lawyer's still not budging.

355
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,338
We can still give the police
everything we know.

356
00:15:43,342 --> 00:15:44,798
And if they arrest
the Glass Club members

357
00:15:44,802 --> 00:15:47,384
who made the bribes,
we can write about it then.

358
00:15:47,388 --> 00:15:49,470
Anybody
could write about it then.

359
00:15:49,474 --> 00:15:52,097
Look, Marv, I worked
really hard on this piece.

360
00:15:52,101 --> 00:15:54,766
I know.
But you heard Dante.

361
00:15:54,770 --> 00:15:56,518
Things don't always work out.

362
00:15:56,522 --> 00:15:58,520
Sometimes you start
in second place,

363
00:15:58,524 --> 00:16:01,773
and you stay in second place,
and you never get the girl.

364
00:16:01,777 --> 00:16:02,712
Wait.

365
00:16:04,530 --> 00:16:07,821
Wait, Marv. What did you
promise The Glass Club?

366
00:16:07,825 --> 00:16:08,947
What exactly?

367
00:16:08,951 --> 00:16:10,199
I told them they can expect

368
00:16:10,203 --> 00:16:11,742
no more negative articles

369
00:16:11,746 --> 00:16:13,160
from <i>The Truth Teller.</i>

370
00:16:13,164 --> 00:16:15,120
Did you say anything
about <i>The Chronicle?</i>

371
00:16:15,124 --> 00:16:16,267
No.

372
00:16:17,585 --> 00:16:18,561
No, I didn't.

373
00:16:19,587 --> 00:16:21,502
-I didn't.
-Let's get in the car.

374
00:16:21,506 --> 00:16:25,693
Yes. Go make those
Glass-holes pay. Yes.

375
00:16:32,308 --> 00:16:33,931
-Bye.
-Bye.

376
00:16:33,935 --> 00:16:35,182
-Bye.
-Have fun.

377
00:16:35,186 --> 00:16:36,767
-Yeah.
-Thank you. I'll see you later.

378
00:16:36,771 --> 00:16:38,435
-Bye.
-See you. You're rolling it up.

379
00:16:38,439 --> 00:16:40,938
-Sorry.
-Whee!

380
00:16:40,942 --> 00:16:42,773
-Just go.
-Bye.

381
00:16:42,777 --> 00:16:44,170
Miss you already.

382
00:16:44,904 --> 00:16:46,297
Whoo! See ya.

383
00:16:46,998 --> 00:16:50,801
So, you're seeing that HR lady?

384
00:16:52,078 --> 00:16:54,180
Um... A little bit.

385
00:16:54,622 --> 00:16:55,598
Hm.

386
00:16:56,749 --> 00:17:00,749
You don't find her to be
a little bit...

387
00:17:00,753 --> 00:17:02,104
of a psycho?

388
00:17:03,339 --> 00:17:04,753
Yeah, a little bit.

389
00:17:04,757 --> 00:17:07,422
But you know,
a little bit's okay.

390
00:17:07,426 --> 00:17:08,569
I guess so...

391
00:17:09,604 --> 00:17:12,615
I mean, obviously,
it's none of my business, but...

392
00:17:13,891 --> 00:17:15,409
Nicole's nice too.

393
00:17:16,727 --> 00:17:20,269
Yeah, I know. I know.

394
00:17:20,273 --> 00:17:22,938
Yeah. Maybe she has
her head screwed on

395
00:17:22,942 --> 00:17:24,168
a little tighter.

396
00:17:28,406 --> 00:17:30,571
Okay, dude, I don't even
drink coffee, okay?

397
00:17:30,575 --> 00:17:33,156
And you should know this
about me, so I'm sorry.

398
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,513
That's a chai tea latte.

399
00:17:36,455 --> 00:17:38,912
Oh. Well, damn.
I love chai tea.

400
00:17:38,916 --> 00:17:40,789
And it's cold now.

401
00:17:40,793 --> 00:17:42,791
You should have told me,
you know?

402
00:17:42,795 --> 00:17:44,459
Now I have to like nuke it
in the microwave

403
00:17:44,463 --> 00:17:45,961
like some kind
of freaking heathen.

404
00:17:45,965 --> 00:17:48,130
And you know that when
you nuke it in a microwave,

405
00:17:48,134 --> 00:17:49,548
it doesn't even taste as good

406
00:17:49,552 --> 00:17:51,800
because it's got all these
cold spots, which suck.

407
00:17:51,804 --> 00:17:53,302
And it's with coconut milk,

408
00:17:53,306 --> 00:17:54,636
and you're welcome.

409
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,346
Thank you.

410
00:17:56,350 --> 00:17:58,473
Okay, we can have
one conversation about it.

411
00:17:58,477 --> 00:18:00,559
For the time it takes
for this tea to heat up.

412
00:18:00,563 --> 00:18:02,311
-You set it for a minute?
-I hit quick start.

413
00:18:02,315 --> 00:18:04,396
Okay, well, I guess
first thing up on my end

414
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,982
is that I enjoy working with you.

415
00:18:06,986 --> 00:18:08,275
-Thank you.
-And I've liked

416
00:18:08,279 --> 00:18:09,484
-becoming friendly with you.
-Mm.

417
00:18:09,488 --> 00:18:10,861
I like your clothes, everything.

418
00:18:10,865 --> 00:18:12,988
-Thank you.
-And a second thing is, um,

419
00:18:12,992 --> 00:18:15,490
you know, I was being tossed
around by that tornado, right?

420
00:18:15,494 --> 00:18:17,534
-Uh-huh.
-And I couldn't have done that

421
00:18:17,538 --> 00:18:19,515
with my body,
even if I wanted to.

422
00:18:20,833 --> 00:18:21,496
-Okay?
-Mm-hmm.

423
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:23,394
And I couldn't have stopped.

424
00:18:24,962 --> 00:18:26,355
Even if I wanted to.

425
00:18:28,633 --> 00:18:31,944
-Even if you wanted to?
-Yeah.

426
00:18:34,513 --> 00:18:36,470
Oh. Okay.

427
00:18:36,474 --> 00:18:38,055
Okay, well, I think we're leaving

428
00:18:38,059 --> 00:18:41,475
some things on the table,
but let's call that progress.

429
00:18:41,479 --> 00:18:42,643
-Sure.
-Okay.

430
00:18:42,647 --> 00:18:44,519
All right.

431
00:18:44,523 --> 00:18:49,295
I, uh, believe
tornadoes are real now...

432
00:18:50,529 --> 00:18:53,716
I get why people chase them.

433
00:19:04,502 --> 00:19:05,957
Jayden, you're new here,

434
00:19:05,961 --> 00:19:10,629
but Matteo knows we have
a strict no fighting policy.

435
00:19:10,633 --> 00:19:11,897
Yeah, he knows, man.

436
00:19:11,901 --> 00:19:18,011
But I think it's really unfair
of the teacher to narc on us.

437
00:19:18,015 --> 00:19:21,556
Because we were barely fighting,
and it was my fault.

438
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:26,103
So I think Matteo should get
a boost to his grades

439
00:19:26,107 --> 00:19:29,523
for all the trouble that
we're putting him through, man.

440
00:19:29,527 --> 00:19:34,486
Yeah. Jayden, what the teachers
have observed today

441
00:19:34,490 --> 00:19:37,864
is that you are too smart
for middle school.

442
00:19:37,868 --> 00:19:41,159
Uh, we all think
you belong in college.

443
00:19:41,163 --> 00:19:42,744
-Really?
-Yeah.

444
00:19:42,748 --> 00:19:45,747
I couldn't be kept
in middle school for long.

445
00:19:45,751 --> 00:19:47,624
I'm too smart.

446
00:19:47,628 --> 00:19:51,795
So... off to college you go.

447
00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:55,048
-Oh. I see it now.
-Yeah.

448
00:19:55,052 --> 00:19:56,633
I'm a genius, man.

449
00:19:56,637 --> 00:19:57,926
We gotta say goodbye

450
00:19:57,930 --> 00:20:00,887
to our new
very special friend, Jayden.

451
00:20:00,891 --> 00:20:03,682
-Bye, Jayden.
-It was nice meeting you.

452
00:20:03,686 --> 00:20:05,225
I hope you get
the help you need.

453
00:20:05,229 --> 00:20:06,560
We all think you're a kid.

454
00:20:06,564 --> 00:20:08,103
Thank you, bro.

455
00:20:09,316 --> 00:20:11,189
I will never forget you,
my dudes.

456
00:20:12,194 --> 00:20:13,358
Bye, Jacob.

457
00:20:13,362 --> 00:20:14,693
<i>I like this school.</i>

458
00:20:14,697 --> 00:20:16,153
<i>We have cool projects</i>

459
00:20:16,157 --> 00:20:17,487
<i>that really make you think.</i>

460
00:20:17,491 --> 00:20:18,864
My brother.

461
00:20:18,868 --> 00:20:21,825
The one today really had
an impact on us kids.

462
00:20:21,829 --> 00:20:25,599
Liam, I know we had issues,
but you are cool.

463
00:20:27,168 --> 00:20:29,499
<i>It taught us
something about sensitivity</i>

464
00:20:29,503 --> 00:20:31,877
<i>towards the mentally ill.</i>

465
00:20:31,881 --> 00:20:33,879
I really wanted
to judge her at first.

466
00:20:33,883 --> 00:20:35,297
Text me!

467
00:20:35,301 --> 00:20:36,798
<i>But then it made me feel</i>

468
00:20:36,802 --> 00:20:39,384
I should apologize to my stepdad.

469
00:20:39,388 --> 00:20:41,887
I really take him for granted.

470
00:20:43,184 --> 00:20:44,660
Hey, bud.

471
00:20:45,478 --> 00:20:46,892
-Hey.
-Hey.

472
00:20:46,896 --> 00:20:49,561
-How was your day?
-It was good, Dad.

473
00:20:49,565 --> 00:20:52,022
-How was yours?
-Yeah.

474
00:20:52,026 --> 00:20:53,064
Good.

475
00:20:58,491 --> 00:21:00,280
This place is fancy.

476
00:21:00,284 --> 00:21:01,969
-Do you see her?
-No.

477
00:21:04,288 --> 00:21:05,431
Mare?

478
00:21:07,458 --> 00:21:08,684
Mare!

479
00:21:09,919 --> 00:21:10,895
Sorry.

480
00:21:12,004 --> 00:21:14,461
Sorry... it's family.

481
00:21:14,465 --> 00:21:16,296
-Hey.
-Hi.

482
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:17,631
-Missed you.
-How you doing?

483
00:21:17,635 --> 00:21:19,049
-Can I talk to him really quick?
-Sure. Yeah.

484
00:21:19,053 --> 00:21:21,426
-What's going on?
-Yeah. Oh, so, um, I just...

485
00:21:21,430 --> 00:21:23,345
I need to talk to you
about something.

486
00:21:23,349 --> 00:21:25,889
-So...
-Um, I don't think I was clear.

487
00:21:25,893 --> 00:21:28,099
Um...

488
00:21:28,103 --> 00:21:30,352
I don't want some big,
romantic gesture.

489
00:21:30,356 --> 00:21:32,229
-I don't think...
-Stop. Stop.

490
00:21:32,233 --> 00:21:33,542
This is not about that.

491
00:21:34,902 --> 00:21:36,942
Okay. S...

492
00:21:37,813 --> 00:21:39,569
Then what are you doing here?

493
00:21:39,573 --> 00:21:41,738
You liked our new
Glass Club piece, right?

494
00:21:41,742 --> 00:21:43,907
Yeah.
It was one in a million.

495
00:21:43,911 --> 00:21:46,618
It made me, honestly,
very jealous.

496
00:21:46,622 --> 00:21:49,162
Yeah, so we can't
put it out in Toledo.

497
00:21:49,166 --> 00:21:54,104
So I-I want you to take it
and put it out here instead.

498
00:21:55,631 --> 00:21:56,816
In <i>The Chronicle.</i>

499
00:21:58,259 --> 00:22:00,340
Okay. Um...

500
00:22:00,344 --> 00:22:02,613
With one condition.

501
00:22:04,890 --> 00:22:06,930
Come on, dude,
I'm not getting back with you

502
00:22:06,934 --> 00:22:08,849
-over a byline.
-Not that, no.

503
00:22:08,853 --> 00:22:10,308
You have to share credit.

504
00:22:10,312 --> 00:22:13,103
With Detrick. Okay?
He worked really hard on it,

505
00:22:13,107 --> 00:22:16,022
but we both agree
that if you took a pass on it,

506
00:22:16,026 --> 00:22:17,211
it could be next level.

507
00:22:17,945 --> 00:22:18,875
Um...

508
00:22:18,879 --> 00:22:23,363
-Say yes.
-Yeah, let me talk to Dan. Okay?

509
00:22:23,367 --> 00:22:25,553
-Tell him I said hi.
-That's...

510
00:22:38,340 --> 00:22:40,025
-Hi, Detrick.
-Oh, shit.

511
00:22:41,218 --> 00:22:42,549
What are you doing here?

512
00:22:42,553 --> 00:22:44,467
Well, I saw
you were leaving from work,

513
00:22:44,471 --> 00:22:45,990
so I followed you.

514
00:22:46,974 --> 00:22:49,055
-Two hundred miles?
-Yeah.

515
00:22:49,059 --> 00:22:51,537
I just wanted to give you this.

516
00:22:52,438 --> 00:22:54,561
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait...
Nicole.

517
00:22:54,565 --> 00:22:55,562
What are you doing?

518
00:22:55,566 --> 00:22:57,167
Oh, shit!

519
00:22:58,152 --> 00:23:00,233
Bang, bang.

520
00:23:02,990 --> 00:23:06,844
Salted nuts, your favorite.
In case you get hungry.

521
00:23:08,495 --> 00:23:10,577
Thank you. Um...

522
00:23:10,581 --> 00:23:12,683
I'm not sure I understand
what this is.

523
00:23:14,293 --> 00:23:17,417
I saw that you started
hanging out with Lisa.

524
00:23:17,421 --> 00:23:18,981
I'm super happy for you.

525
00:23:20,466 --> 00:23:23,298
Thank you.
I really appreciate you.

526
00:23:23,302 --> 00:23:26,384
I mean this. Appreciate
you bringing me this.

527
00:23:26,388 --> 00:23:28,699
Okay. Good.

528
00:23:29,475 --> 00:23:31,744
Um... See you at work?

529
00:23:32,519 --> 00:23:33,558
Maybe.

530
00:23:33,562 --> 00:23:36,436
See you.

531
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,355
Whoo! Go get it. Have fun.

532
00:23:39,693 --> 00:23:40,899
Hey!

533
00:23:40,903 --> 00:23:42,776
That's my car.

534
00:23:42,780 --> 00:23:45,820
That's my car,
you crazy little bitch!

535
00:23:45,824 --> 00:23:49,261
Maybe not. See ya.

536
00:23:58,337 --> 00:24:00,210
Detrick, this is very good.

537
00:24:00,214 --> 00:24:02,045
You have written a story

538
00:24:02,049 --> 00:24:06,341
about a low structural barrier,
and you've made it interesting.

539
00:24:06,345 --> 00:24:07,425
Thank you.

540
00:24:07,429 --> 00:24:08,593
Criminally low.

541
00:24:08,597 --> 00:24:10,053
I think it's pretty good.

542
00:24:10,057 --> 00:24:13,327
Just, uh, make those changes
we talked about, but...

543
00:24:15,980 --> 00:24:17,769
Ho...

544
00:24:17,773 --> 00:24:19,145
Looks good to me.

545
00:24:19,149 --> 00:24:21,001
Oh...

546
00:24:22,069 --> 00:24:23,400
What's "NS"?

547
00:24:23,404 --> 00:24:24,442
New stuff.

548
00:24:24,446 --> 00:24:25,568
Non-story. Not a story.

549
00:24:25,572 --> 00:24:27,529
That is perfect.

550
00:24:27,533 --> 00:24:29,364
-Should I send it?
-Yes.

551
00:24:30,661 --> 00:24:31,804
Done.

552
00:24:33,038 --> 00:24:36,413
-It's good. It's really good.
-Yes, it is.

553
00:24:36,417 --> 00:24:38,102
Oh, boy.

554
00:24:40,170 --> 00:24:43,586
-Thank you.
-Please. It was fun.

555
00:24:43,590 --> 00:24:45,734
Yeah. Yeah.

556
00:24:46,969 --> 00:24:49,029
You still gonna sign that lease?

557
00:24:50,597 --> 00:24:51,824
Maybe.

558
00:24:54,935 --> 00:24:55,994
Don't.

559
00:24:56,854 --> 00:24:59,602
Oh, come on.

560
00:24:59,606 --> 00:25:01,312
-What?
-You can't look at me like that.

561
00:25:01,316 --> 00:25:03,836
-You can't do that.
-You got the wrong look.

562
00:25:05,362 --> 00:25:08,611
I'm not looking at you
like an ex-girlfriend.

563
00:25:08,615 --> 00:25:10,634
I'm looking at you like...

564
00:25:11,744 --> 00:25:13,303
a great journalist.

565
00:25:14,329 --> 00:25:15,389
And it sucks.

566
00:25:17,583 --> 00:25:19,539
Because you can do that anywhere.

567
00:25:19,543 --> 00:25:23,460
You can do it here,
or you can do it in Chicago,

568
00:25:23,464 --> 00:25:24,961
you could do it in Washington,

569
00:25:24,965 --> 00:25:27,881
but you will never be
more important to anywhere

570
00:25:27,885 --> 00:25:30,070
than you can be to your hometown.

571
00:25:31,221 --> 00:25:33,323
So I think you should come back.

572
00:25:37,853 --> 00:25:40,831
You really want me to come back
as a journalist only?

573
00:25:42,357 --> 00:25:43,834
That's all I'm asking.

574
00:25:47,863 --> 00:25:50,132
Okay.
I'll think about it.

575
00:25:51,158 --> 00:25:52,843
Okay.

576
00:25:54,369 --> 00:25:56,618
Dude, you look exhausted.

577
00:25:56,622 --> 00:25:57,994
Mm!

578
00:25:57,998 --> 00:25:59,746
Oh, come on,
it's like 11 p.m.

579
00:25:59,750 --> 00:26:01,164
By the time you get home,
it'll be like 4.

580
00:26:01,168 --> 00:26:03,041
Do you wanna
just come back to mine?

581
00:26:03,045 --> 00:26:04,313
You can crash on the couch.

582
00:26:05,839 --> 00:26:07,045
No funny business.

583
00:26:07,049 --> 00:26:08,755
I don't want any funny business.

584
00:26:08,759 --> 00:26:09,881
-Oh.
-I'm on Benadryl.

585
00:26:09,885 --> 00:26:11,174
Wouldn't work anyway.

586
00:26:14,056 --> 00:26:16,679
-Buddy.
-Dude.

587
00:26:16,683 --> 00:26:18,181
I was actually thinking
that maybe

588
00:26:18,185 --> 00:26:21,017
-because I nearly died today...
-Oh, yeah. No, so close.

589
00:26:21,021 --> 00:26:22,685
Because of your awful gift,

590
00:26:22,689 --> 00:26:24,229
maybe you could crash
on the couch?

591
00:26:24,233 --> 00:26:25,730
I don't know how you did
that logic, but deal.

592
00:26:25,734 --> 00:26:26,856
Deal?

593
00:26:31,782 --> 00:26:33,363
Uh... All right.

594
00:26:33,367 --> 00:26:34,760
So...

595
00:26:36,203 --> 00:26:38,868
I had my own moment of clarity.

596
00:26:38,872 --> 00:26:41,308
{\an8}When she walked into
my hospital room.

597
00:26:42,876 --> 00:26:44,061
{\an8}I love her.

598
00:26:45,045 --> 00:26:46,396
{\an8}Can't live without her.

599
00:26:47,631 --> 00:26:49,003
{\an8}And if that's not something

600
00:26:49,007 --> 00:26:50,588
{\an8}that I can ever tell her,

601
00:26:50,592 --> 00:26:53,112
{\an8}then that'll have to be okay.

602
00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:57,512
{\an8}It'll be torture, but as long
as I can sit at my desk...

603
00:26:58,559 --> 00:26:59,889
{\an8}at our newspaper

604
00:26:59,893 --> 00:27:02,830
{\an8}and see her face
through my office window...

605
00:27:05,107 --> 00:27:06,750
{\an8}I can handle anything.

606
00:27:07,734 --> 00:27:08,731
{\an8}Dude.

607
00:27:08,735 --> 00:27:10,066
{\an8}-Jesus.
-I'm so tired.

608
00:27:10,070 --> 00:27:11,797
{\an8}-Can we go?
-Yes.

609
00:27:14,533 --> 00:27:15,947
{\an8}-Yeah.
-I looked it up.

610
00:27:15,951 --> 00:27:17,824
{\an8}The Best Western's like 99 bucks.

611
00:27:17,828 --> 00:27:20,055
{\an8}Don't think
I won't drop your ass off.

612
00:27:24,168 --> 00:27:25,748
{\an8}Aah! Okay.

613
00:27:25,752 --> 00:27:27,000
{\an8}Jesus Christ.

614
00:27:29,882 --> 00:27:31,150
{\an8}Stop it!
