00:07:44,590 --> 00:07:46,758
- [honks]
- Shoo!
179
00:07:47,384 --> 00:07:48,510
Get outta here.
180
00:07:50,554 --> 00:07:51,638
I saved your ass.
181
00:07:54,474 --> 00:07:55,559
What's wrong with you?
182
00:07:56,268 --> 00:07:58,520
I was too happy.
I'm trying to bring myself down.
183
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:02,441
I can help.
184
00:08:03,275 --> 00:08:05,861
Did you hear any of those rumors
about a list?
185
00:08:05,861 --> 00:08:06,987
No.
186
00:08:06,987 --> 00:08:09,698
Ah, well, there's
this crazy rumor going around
187
00:08:09,698 --> 00:08:13,827
that President Pope has asked me
to get a list from my department heads,
188
00:08:13,827 --> 00:08:17,372
naming 20% of their faculty
that can be cut.
189
00:08:17,372 --> 00:08:21,793
An actual list with
actual names of human beings?
190
00:08:21,793 --> 00:08:22,961
That's the rumor.
191
00:08:24,546 --> 00:08:25,923
Crazy rumor.
192
00:08:28,675 --> 00:08:30,010
I'm going to need that list.
193
00:08:30,928 --> 00:08:32,262
What? Really?
194
00:08:32,262 --> 00:08:33,639
I know.
195
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:35,849
It's this guy, Dickie Pope.
196
00:08:35,849 --> 00:08:37,017
He's a real killer.
197
00:08:37,935 --> 00:08:40,520
They say he was
Jeb Bush's spanking partner
198
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,772
in Skull and Bones.
199
00:08:41,772 --> 00:08:42,981
Well, I hope he hit hard.
200
00:08:44,775 --> 00:08:47,194
- Twenty percent of the adjuncts, too?
- Absolutely not.
201
00:08:47,194 --> 00:08:49,279
They're half the price.
You should load them up.
202
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:50,572
Yeah, I'm not making a list.
203
00:08:50,572 --> 00:08:52,658
I know, and I'm not asking you to.
204
00:08:57,162 --> 00:08:59,581
End of the week.
Don't tell anyone.
205
00:08:59,581 --> 00:09:01,583
They're just going to freak out.
206
00:09:03,377 --> 00:09:05,128
We don't want to cause any distress,
207
00:09:06,797 --> 00:09:07,923
until we have to.
208
00:09:16,348 --> 00:09:17,641
[Billie] There's Spanky.
209
00:09:19,142 --> 00:09:20,894
We know about the rumors.
210
00:09:20,894 --> 00:09:22,688
He's not going to tell us anything.
211
00:09:22,688 --> 00:09:23,939
Hank,
212
00:09:23,939 --> 00:09:25,983
we all have a right to know.
213
00:09:25,983 --> 00:09:28,652
Can you not be yourself
and be straight with us for one minute?
214
00:09:28,652 --> 00:09:30,779
[Emma] My friend in sociology
heard there were going to be cuts.
215
00:09:30,779 --> 00:09:32,864
My friend in history said the same.
216
00:09:32,864 --> 00:09:34,283
It's possible they heard it
from each other,
217
00:09:34,283 --> 00:09:36,660
but also possible
it was two independent sources.
218
00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:38,287
If history is to repeat itself,
219
00:09:38,287 --> 00:09:40,497
which it is wont to do,
bore that it is,
220
00:09:40,497 --> 00:09:44,543
then we are waltzing a waltz
that we have waltzed before.
221
00:09:44,543 --> 00:09:46,420
We need not fear a misstep or a st--
222
00:09:46,420 --> 00:09:49,047
- [Emma] Finny!
- [Gracie] We've earned the truth, Hank.
223
00:09:49,047 --> 00:09:50,382
We demand the truth.
224
00:09:56,513 --> 00:09:59,057
It's all true.
I'm gonna go make a list now, okay?
225
00:10:02,728 --> 00:10:04,313
They wanted me to lie to you,
226
00:10:04,313 --> 00:10:06,356
to tell you it wasn't happening.
227
00:10:06,356 --> 00:10:08,191
They were concerned that you might panic,
228
00:10:08,191 --> 00:10:09,609
but I said no.
229
00:10:09,609 --> 00:10:11,945
No, they're all adults.
230
00:10:14,781 --> 00:10:15,782
[door closes]
231
00:10:16,366 --> 00:10:17,367
[Gracie sighs]
232
00:10:27,210 --> 00:10:29,212
[gentle music playing]
233
00:10:32,424 --> 00:10:34,343
[Meg] Still waiting for my recommendation.
234
00:10:34,343 --> 00:10:35,510
What's going on?
235
00:10:39,181 --> 00:10:40,474
Don't become a professor.
236
00:10:40,474 --> 00:10:41,600
Just stay an adjunct.
237
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,518
- There's more freedom that way.
- [sighs]
238
00:10:45,437 --> 00:10:47,356
If you get this job,
239
00:10:47,356 --> 00:10:49,983
you will throw yourself
into your teaching,
240
00:10:49,983 --> 00:10:53,737
but it won't be long before you realize
you can't help these kids.
241
00:10:53,737 --> 00:10:56,323
There's more promise
in a senior-citizen yoga class.
242
00:10:56,323 --> 00:10:57,657
They're not that bad.
243
00:10:57,657 --> 00:11:00,035
Yeah, so fine, you will throw yourself
into your writing,
244
00:11:00,035 --> 00:11:01,286
but guess what?
245
00:11:01,286 --> 00:11:04,873
[clears throat] Selling 460 copies
of your novel
246
00:11:04,873 --> 00:11:06,958
about being a professor in a small town,
247
00:11:06,958 --> 00:11:09,503
that's not as exciting
to your publisher as you imagine.
248
00:11:09,503 --> 00:11:11,380
So, finally, you decide,
you know what,
249
00:11:11,380 --> 00:11:13,006
I'll just use my chairmanship
250
00:11:13,006 --> 00:11:16,885
to torment my arrogant, petty,
self-obsessed colleagues.
251
00:11:16,885 --> 00:11:17,969
Hey, lay off my mom.
252
00:11:17,969 --> 00:11:20,680
But it's not too long
before even that holds no joy.
253
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:23,308
You will be trapped by tenure
in this town,
254
00:11:23,308 --> 00:11:24,518
and you will regret it.
255
00:11:25,310 --> 00:11:26,353
[Meg] Hank, slide over.
256
00:11:26,353 --> 00:11:28,397
- No, sit there.
- I'm getting close for effect.
257
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,568
You know how good a teacher I am.
258
00:11:33,568 --> 00:11:35,737
Just because
I haven't published that first book yet,
259
00:11:35,737 --> 00:11:38,198
I'm invisible unless I have
the endorsement of someone like you.
260
00:11:38,198 --> 00:11:40,826
But you know what?
If I don't get tenure here now,
261
00:11:40,826 --> 00:11:43,286
I will have to move, probably to, like,
Nebraska or something--
262
00:11:43,286 --> 00:11:45,622
- Okay, I get it.
- Or I would stay an adjunct,
263
00:11:45,622 --> 00:11:47,207
and if I want to make
anything more than my rent,
264
00:11:47,207 --> 00:11:49,543
I've gotta keep tending bar
in this shithole!
265
00:11:49,543 --> 00:11:51,211
Sorry, guys, you know I love you.
266
00:11:52,963 --> 00:11:55,590
Hank, don't tell me that tenure's
not a big deal when you have it.
267
00:11:56,383 --> 00:11:57,717
I'm not even on track for it.
268
00:12:00,387 --> 00:12:02,389
[gentle music continues]
269
00:12:07,102 --> 00:12:08,728
You write it, I'll sign it,
270
00:12:08,728 --> 00:12:09,855
but I won't read it.
271
00:12:13,525 --> 00:12:14,860
I could write anything?
272
00:12:16,486 --> 00:12:17,737
Go nuts.
273
00:12:20,198 --> 00:12:21,199
That we're lovers?
274
00:12:21,199 --> 00:12:23,326
Yeah, if you think that will help.
275
00:12:25,620 --> 00:12:27,205
Well, I'd have to describe your penis.
276
00:12:27,205 --> 00:12:28,999
It's square.
277
00:12:28,999 --> 00:12:31,501
- Color?
- Okay. Okay, go.
278
00:12:31,501 --> 00:12:32,669
Okay.
279
00:12:48,935 --> 00:12:51,897
I have a friend at Haverford.
280
00:12:51,897 --> 00:12:54,900
He told me they had an opening
for a comp lit associate last spring.
281
00:12:54,900 --> 00:12:56,985
They received 314 applicants.
282
00:12:56,985 --> 00:12:58,612
314!
283
00:12:58,612 --> 00:13:01,281
God, it is the worst time
to be an academic.
284
00:13:03,074 --> 00:13:04,117
Do you think they filled it yet?
285
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:05,535
Mmm... You're media studies.
286
00:13:05,535 --> 00:13:06,745
I could teach comp lit.
287
00:13:06,745 --> 00:13:08,163
- Emma.
- I could.
288
00:13:08,163 --> 00:13:10,624
No one from Railton
is getting a job at Haverford.
289
00:13:10,624 --> 00:13:12,125
Or anywhere.
290
00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:13,460
My point was the applicant pool
291
00:13:13,460 --> 00:13:14,836
was the largest they've ever had.
292
00:13:16,463 --> 00:13:17,839
You don't have a friend at Haverford.
293
00:13:17,839 --> 00:13:19,466
[Gracie] Any attentive dean
would know
294
00:13:19,466 --> 00:13:21,968
Paul Rourke is not interested
in teaching freshman courses.
295
00:13:21,968 --> 00:13:23,803
Yes, Jacob, I do have a point,
296
00:13:23,803 --> 00:13:25,472
and that is...
297
00:13:25,472 --> 00:13:27,224
If there is a decision to be made,
298
00:13:27,224 --> 00:13:28,475
it won't escape anyone's attention
299
00:13:28,475 --> 00:13:30,977
that there are two poetry professors
in this department.
300
00:13:30,977 --> 00:13:33,230
One of them
is stuck in the 18th century,
301
00:13:33,230 --> 00:13:35,315
and the other receives
consistently higher cue scores
302
00:13:35,315 --> 00:13:36,775
and can teach anything in the canon.
303
00:13:38,235 --> 00:13:39,694
Well, if you like my confidence,
304
00:13:39,694 --> 00:13:42,239
then you should tell Hank
what I just told you.
305
00:13:43,490 --> 00:13:44,741
Don't flirt with me, Jacob.
306
00:13:44,741 --> 00:13:45,951
I'm not in the mood.
307
00:13:46,826 --> 00:13:48,662
- [ends call]
- [sighs]
308
00:13:48,662 --> 00:13:51,456
The character's circumstances are dark,
309
00:13:51,456 --> 00:13:54,292
and with the imagery
of light and darkness, the...
310
00:13:54,292 --> 00:13:56,461
- [door opening]
- ...well, her inner monologue is...
311
00:13:56,461 --> 00:13:57,837
Is, um...
312
00:13:57,837 --> 00:14:00,048
Energetic, so it never bogs down--
313
00:14:00,799 --> 00:14:02,092
I need to talk to you.
314
00:14:03,885 --> 00:14:06,388
This class has three more minutes.
315
00:14:09,224 --> 00:14:11,851
[Hank] Some men can pull off a vest.
316
00:14:11,851 --> 00:14:13,895
I don't know
if it's the shape of his arms,
317
00:14:13,895 --> 00:14:16,690
or just his vest-y attitude,
318
00:14:16,690 --> 00:14:19,276
either way, I am jealous as hell.
319
00:14:20,902 --> 00:14:22,279
Okay, class is over.
320
00:14:24,030 --> 00:14:25,865
[students chattering indistinctly]
321
00:14:27,325 --> 00:14:28,827
They, uh...
322
00:14:28,827 --> 00:14:30,704
They tell me you're going to make a list.
323
00:14:30,704 --> 00:14:33,290
Yeah, I'm looking for my stencils.
324
00:14:33,290 --> 00:14:35,208
I'm thinking of a decorative border.
325
00:14:35,208 --> 00:14:36,459
I spoke with Leslie Schonberg.
326
00:14:36,459 --> 00:14:38,086
Ms. Schonberg?
327
00:14:39,254 --> 00:14:41,423
Oh! My second-grade teacher.
328
00:14:41,423 --> 00:14:43,091
As our union rep,
329
00:14:43,091 --> 00:14:45,677
she says that we don't have to take this,
and I agree.
330
00:14:45,677 --> 00:14:48,305
[Hank] I guess we could all
run away and hide together.
331
00:14:48,305 --> 00:14:49,889
We need a big enough building,
332
00:14:49,889 --> 00:14:52,100
abandoned factory, but spiders.
333
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:53,268
Okay, shut up.
334
00:14:53,268 --> 00:14:55,061
Instead of a list,
here's what you do.
335
00:14:55,061 --> 00:14:57,230
You give them a signed statement
of solidarity,
336
00:14:57,230 --> 00:14:59,065
all the departments, all the faculty.
337
00:14:59,065 --> 00:15:00,817
We make sure
those bozos in Harrisburg
338
00:15:00,817 --> 00:15:02,235
know that we're not playing around.
339
00:15:02,986 --> 00:15:04,404
They won't want a full walk-out
on their hands.
340
00:15:04,404 --> 00:15:05,739
[Hank] What if they do
341
00:15:05,739 --> 00:15:08,074
want a full walk-out on their hands?
342
00:15:09,868 --> 00:15:11,161
Why would they want that?
343
00:15:11,161 --> 00:15:13,246
To test out their new sneaker gloves?
344
00:15:14,247 --> 00:15:15,248
Hey?
345
00:15:16,374 --> 00:15:18,418
What the hell is it with you?
346
00:15:19,252 --> 00:15:21,379
What do you even want?
Whose side are you on?
347
00:15:23,173 --> 00:15:24,382
[door closes]
348
00:15:24,633 --> 00:15:26,051
We know what we bring to the table.
349
00:15:26,051 --> 00:15:28,011
And we know you know.
We don't have to enumerate it.
350
00:15:28,011 --> 00:15:29,262
But do others know?
351
00:15:29,262 --> 00:15:30,930
Do they know about our publications?

- Do they know about our scholar--
- Guys,
353
00:15:32,349 --> 00:15:34,809
can I just stop you
before you settle into a rhythm?
354
00:15:34,809 --> 00:15:37,103
And I appreciate you saying
that this would be a short meeting,
355
00:15:37,103 --> 00:15:39,981
but I have to ask what the topic is.
356
00:15:39,981 --> 00:15:41,816
The cuts. The list.
357
00:15:41,816 --> 00:15:43,401
The list.
358
00:15:43,401 --> 00:15:44,819
- Hank told us.
- Oh.
359
00:15:44,819 --> 00:15:46,029
He told us you told him.
360
00:15:46,029 --> 00:15:48,448
And he told us
that you told him not to tell us,
361
00:15:48,448 --> 00:15:50,325
so you didn't hear this from us.
362
00:15:50,325 --> 00:15:53,078
[Teddy] We know
the university bias towards seniority.
363
00:15:53,078 --> 00:15:55,246
We're the most recent tenure-track hires,
364
00:15:55,246 --> 00:15:57,957
and if seniority is, in fact,
an element here,
365
00:15:57,957 --> 00:16:00,794
we just need to make sure
that people are acutely aware
366
00:16:00,794 --> 00:16:02,796
of everything else we have to offer.
367
00:16:02,796 --> 00:16:05,465
Well, until the legislature,
which is 100 miles away,
368
00:16:05,465 --> 00:16:07,008
passes a budget for us,
369
00:16:07,008 --> 00:16:08,510
there's nothing to discuss.
370
00:16:09,844 --> 00:16:11,513
There's nothing for you to do,
371
00:16:11,513 --> 00:16:13,181
so there's no point in worrying.
372
00:16:17,644 --> 00:16:19,229
- Uh--
- Okay, Dean...
373
00:16:19,229 --> 00:16:21,272
Okay. Okay.
374
00:16:21,981 --> 00:16:23,024
There is a new committee.
375
00:16:24,025 --> 00:16:25,694
[breathes deeply and sighs]
376
00:16:26,444 --> 00:16:27,946
I think we're a little all over the place.
377
00:16:27,946 --> 00:16:29,280
Well, we need more members.
378
00:16:31,282 --> 00:16:32,617
What about your roommates?
379
00:16:32,617 --> 00:16:33,868
I can talk to them.
380
00:16:33,868 --> 00:16:35,036
What do they look like?
381
00:16:36,454 --> 00:16:38,206
If they're too hot,
no one is going to take us seriously.
382
00:16:39,332 --> 00:16:40,458
We need a mission statement.
383
00:16:41,292 --> 00:16:42,961
Yes, we do.
384
00:16:42,961 --> 00:16:44,421
Um...
385
00:16:44,421 --> 00:16:45,505
Okay.
386
00:16:46,548 --> 00:16:47,799
Okay, take this down.
387
00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:49,342
Wait, so am I a secretary?
388
00:16:49,342 --> 00:16:50,719
- I'll do it.
- I'm doing it.
389
00:16:50,719 --> 00:16:53,304
Is this the Excellence Committee?
390
00:16:55,557 --> 00:16:56,766
We're allowed to be here.
391
00:16:56,766 --> 00:16:58,560
Oh, we know. We know.
392
00:17:00,186 --> 00:17:02,147
I'm Professor Washington-Chen,
and so is he.
393
00:17:02,147 --> 00:17:04,190
We are here at Dean Rose's behest.
394
00:17:05,900 --> 00:17:07,318
We're your faculty advisors.
395
00:17:08,695 --> 00:17:11,906
Uh, that's an obvious
conflict of interest.
396
00:17:11,906 --> 00:17:14,409
No, no, it's a confluence of interest.
397
00:17:14,409 --> 00:17:17,203
We couldn't be more on board
with what you're trying to do.
398
00:17:17,203 --> 00:17:19,330
Mmm-hmm,
and we believe that our support
399
00:17:19,330 --> 00:17:22,709
will help you have
a greater impact on the school.
400
00:17:24,544 --> 00:17:27,756
The community needs to know
that they can trust us,
401
00:17:27,756 --> 00:17:30,175
and that means that we need
to have some teeth,
402
00:17:31,009 --> 00:17:33,636
and at times, we're going to need to bite.
403
00:17:34,763 --> 00:17:37,390
We can't have faculty saying
that we can't ruffle feathers.
404
00:17:37,390 --> 00:17:39,142
We're not pulling punches.
405
00:17:39,142 --> 00:17:40,643
[Teddy] Pull punches?
406
00:17:40,643 --> 00:17:43,062
- No, no.
- No.
407
00:17:43,062 --> 00:17:45,565
Hey, look, we're here
to help you hit harder,

409
00:17:47,275 --> 00:17:49,027
Yeah, what was the other metaphor?
410
00:17:49,027 --> 00:17:50,403
- Feathers.
- Right.
411
00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:52,322
Uh, fly higher.
412
00:17:55,283 --> 00:17:57,494
-"Fly higher"?
- [Teddy] Mmm-hmm.
413
00:17:57,494 --> 00:17:58,703
I like it.
414
00:17:59,996 --> 00:18:01,331

What, are you kidding?

- I'm sorry.

You know... But think about--
425
00:18:29,609 --> 00:18:31,027
- Sorry.
- But you don't have to...

Of course not.

would have made a list.

I bet he made a list of us.

00:25:28,152 --> 00:25:29,779
We don't have
a cleaning-supplies budget.
529
00:25:29,779 --> 00:25:31,530
There was piss...
530
00:25:31,530 --> 00:25:32,740
In the...
531
00:25:33,616 --> 00:25:34,617
I know that.
532
00:25:35,910 --> 00:25:37,036
You have an emergency fund.
533
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,455
Not every piss can be an emergency.
534
00:25:39,455 --> 00:25:41,916
We need to save some
for good emergencies,
535
00:25:41,916 --> 00:25:43,960
like pizza for when
they do something good.
536
00:25:46,420 --> 00:25:48,089
You have to ask first. I'm sorry.
537
00:25:49,715 --> 00:25:50,716
Jack!
538
00:25:53,261 --> 00:25:54,720
I'm taking a personal day next week,
539
00:25:55,763 --> 00:25:57,139
to interview at Arlyle.
540
00:25:59,016 --> 00:26:01,519
Yeah, I'm going to New York
541
00:26:01,519 --> 00:26:03,229
to interview at the Arlyle School.
542
00:26:04,814 --> 00:26:05,815
Oh.
543
00:26:07,191 --> 00:26:08,484
Have fun.
544
00:26:08,484 --> 00:26:11,112
Send me a postcard,
and I'll send you one,
545
00:26:11,112 --> 00:26:12,947
from England,
where I'll be auditioning
546
00:26:12,947 --> 00:26:15,366
for the role of Henry Higgins
at the Globe.
547
00:26:20,955 --> 00:26:22,373
So you want to work here?
548
00:26:22,373 --> 00:26:25,084
Yeah, um,
if you want someone to work here,
549
00:26:25,084 --> 00:26:26,419
I can do that.
550
00:26:26,419 --> 00:26:27,586
Do you have a resumé?
551
00:26:28,713 --> 00:26:30,006
Not with me.
552
00:26:36,220 --> 00:26:38,055
So your father-in-law tells me
you're an idiot.
553
00:26:38,806 --> 00:26:40,308
- Yeah.
- Hmm.
554
00:26:40,308 --> 00:26:42,268
Yeah, he does say that.
555
00:26:42,268 --> 00:26:45,187
I should be offended,
but that's, like, his defense.
556
00:26:45,187 --> 00:26:47,064
You know, like, he uses sarcasm
to mask his pain.
557
00:26:47,064 --> 00:26:48,149
Oh...
558
00:26:48,899 --> 00:26:50,484
- Hank has a lot of pain?
- Yeah.
559
00:26:50,484 --> 00:26:53,195
I mean, you know, guys of
that generation and their dads...
560
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,073
You know, they were all spanked,
561
00:26:56,073 --> 00:26:57,325
or whatever.
562
00:26:57,325 --> 00:26:58,743
So Hank is his father's fault?
563
00:26:58,743 --> 00:27:00,745
Well, yeah,
Julie thinks it's his father.
564
00:27:00,745 --> 00:27:02,830
I think it's his mother, actually.
565
00:27:02,830 --> 00:27:04,874
You've never met
a colder woman in your life.
566
00:27:04,874 --> 00:27:06,917
It's like trying to have a conversation
with an ice sculpture.
567
00:27:07,710 --> 00:27:10,087
I think that's where
the real abandonment comes from.
568
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,548
Actually, I think it goes
way darker than that.
569
00:27:12,548 --> 00:27:14,675
I don't know if it's his work
570
00:27:14,675 --> 00:27:17,636
or if he's in
a terrible marriage, or what...
571
00:27:18,971 --> 00:27:20,014
But it's bad.
572
00:27:21,182 --> 00:27:23,267
It's kind of hard to tell
with that guy, though. You know.
573
00:27:24,810 --> 00:27:26,187
[chuckles]
574
00:27:26,187 --> 00:27:27,438
Yeah.
575
00:27:29,565 --> 00:27:31,025
Hey, can I ask you something?
576
00:27:31,025 --> 00:27:32,109
Yeah.
577
00:27:32,109 --> 00:27:35,905
Why do you think that he's reluctant
to support my tenure?
578
00:27:35,905 --> 00:27:38,491
- Because I know he respects me.
- Yeah...
579
00:27:39,450 --> 00:27:40,910
I don't know, that's a tough one.
580
00:27:40,910 --> 00:27:42,411
I mean, look, he respects me, too.
581
00:27:42,411 --> 00:27:44,663
I feel like the thing about Hank is
582
00:27:44,663 --> 00:27:46,665
the guy can't make a decision.
583
00:27:46,665 --> 00:27:48,751
He gets paralyzed by his own brain.
584
00:27:49,877 --> 00:27:51,504
He's such a little boy sometimes.
585
00:27:52,630 --> 00:27:54,131
Sometimes, I feel like I'm his dad.
586
00:27:54,590 --> 00:27:57,009
[Meg] I feel like
you might be being hard on him.
587
00:27:57,009 --> 00:28:00,221
Because I know
how Hank feels about this town.
588
00:28:00,221 --> 00:28:02,723
I mean, so I want to be
a college professor,
589
00:28:02,723 --> 00:28:04,225
- more than anything here...
- Yeah.
590
00:28:05,017 --> 00:28:06,519
...but I also know
that there's a ceiling.
591
00:28:07,061 --> 00:28:08,687
And...
592
00:28:08,687 --> 00:28:10,940
I think that Hank is
593
00:28:10,940 --> 00:28:14,777
self-aware enough
to understand that Railton College,
594
00:28:14,777 --> 00:28:18,406
it's not a destination, for anyone,
really, right?
595
00:28:18,406 --> 00:28:19,490
It's like a...
596
00:28:20,157 --> 00:28:21,826
It's not even a highlight of the journey.
597
00:28:22,785 --> 00:28:24,787
I don't know. I...
598
00:28:26,038 --> 00:28:27,331
I just see it differently.
599
00:28:27,915 --> 00:28:29,875
I think the location is the illusion.
600
00:28:30,793 --> 00:28:32,503
I think the adventure's gotta be up here.
601
00:28:33,838 --> 00:28:34,922
And here.
602
00:28:35,756 --> 00:28:37,383
And a little bit down there, too.
603
00:28:37,383 --> 00:28:38,717
[chuckles]
604
00:28:38,717 --> 00:28:41,512
- And here, a little bit, too.
- Maybe.
605
00:28:42,638 --> 00:28:43,681
You never know.
606
00:28:44,974 --> 00:28:46,225
[phone ringing]
607
00:28:48,352 --> 00:28:49,645
Hey.
608
00:28:50,938 --> 00:28:52,398
Are you serious?
609
00:28:52,398 --> 00:28:54,191
Yeah, I'll be there shortly. Thanks.
610
00:29:01,532 --> 00:29:02,533
Meg?
611
00:29:04,869 --> 00:29:06,328
Where is she?
612
00:29:06,328 --> 00:29:07,830
[Rachel] She found Hank's whiskey.
613
00:29:12,835 --> 00:29:14,837
[guitar music playing]
614
00:29:18,090 --> 00:29:19,091
Hey.
615
00:29:19,091 --> 00:29:20,509
- Mmm.
- Hey, it's me.
616
00:29:20,509 --> 00:29:21,927
No.
617
00:29:21,927 --> 00:29:23,471
Damn Spanky!
618
00:29:23,471 --> 00:29:24,889
Damn college.
619
00:29:24,889 --> 00:29:26,849
This place is a disgrace!
620
00:29:26,849 --> 00:29:28,726
Uh-huh, it's a disgrace.
621
00:29:28,726 --> 00:29:32,688
I'm still paying off Lucy's tuition,
for God's sake, and they don't care!
622
00:29:32,688 --> 00:29:33,981
Nobody cares.
623
00:29:33,981 --> 00:29:35,065
- Okay, Mom.
- I'm going to sit.
624
00:29:35,065 --> 00:29:36,400
- No!
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
625
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,485
Come on, come on, come on.
626
00:29:37,485 --> 00:29:38,903
We're so close to the car.
Let's go.
627
00:29:42,948 --> 00:29:45,117
I hope you weren't expecting
anything to eat.
628
00:29:45,117 --> 00:29:47,203
I haven't been to the market today.
629
00:29:47,203 --> 00:29:48,412
I have some crackers.
630
00:29:48,412 --> 00:29:49,997
I don't know whether they're stale.
631
00:29:49,997 --> 00:29:51,081
I'm fine.
632
00:29:51,081 --> 00:29:53,125
I was in the middle of my column.
633
00:29:53,125 --> 00:29:55,878
Oliver, the homeless man
that lives on Rail Street,
634
00:29:55,878 --> 00:29:57,588
has been sent to a halfway house.
635
00:29:57,588 --> 00:29:59,548
Apparently, he's happy there.
636
00:29:59,548 --> 00:30:01,383
Mom, there's something
I want to talk to you about.
637
00:30:04,094 --> 00:30:05,429
Oh. All right.
638
00:30:11,352 --> 00:30:12,895
Just tell me what these are.
639
00:30:14,772 --> 00:30:16,065
Oh, my goodness.
640
00:30:17,399 --> 00:30:18,400
He saved them.
641
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,152
That can't be the first thing you say.
642
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:22,696
No.
643
00:30:22,696 --> 00:30:24,031
I see that.
644
00:30:25,324 --> 00:30:28,202
Hank, I have been corresponding
with your father
645
00:30:28,202 --> 00:30:29,328
for some time now.
646
00:30:29,328 --> 00:30:31,121
Yeah. Why don't you jump ahead
647
00:30:31,121 --> 00:30:33,415
to the part that I haven't figured out
648
00:30:33,415 --> 00:30:34,792
from having read them already?
649
00:30:34,792 --> 00:30:36,835
You read my letters?
650
00:30:36,835 --> 00:30:39,004
No, no, you are not
turning this around on me.
651
00:30:39,004 --> 00:30:41,173
Now, what I did was a minor infraction.
652
00:30:41,173 --> 00:30:42,883
What you did here was a felony.
653
00:30:44,426 --> 00:30:46,804
And what was the felony?
Writing to my husband?
654
00:30:46,804 --> 00:30:49,223
Ex! Ex-husband.
655
00:30:49,223 --> 00:30:50,599
You know as well as I do
656
00:30:50,599 --> 00:30:53,477
you've been acting like we've been
on the same page this whole time,
657
00:30:53,477 --> 00:30:56,522
like he hasn't contacted you
either in 20 years.
658
00:30:57,982 --> 00:30:59,608
You're envious.
659
00:30:59,608 --> 00:31:00,901
Oh, my God.
660
00:31:02,111 --> 00:31:03,153
Oh, my God.
661
00:31:05,656 --> 00:31:08,158
I never made any promises to you.
662
00:31:08,158 --> 00:31:09,451
You haven't?
663
00:31:10,869 --> 00:31:12,246
Don't you remember when he left us?
664
00:31:13,163 --> 00:31:14,290
Hmm?
665
00:31:14,290 --> 00:31:15,666
You remember what happened?
666
00:31:18,085 --> 00:31:19,962
You said to me...
667
00:31:19,962 --> 00:31:21,630
"It's just you and me now."
668
00:31:22,965 --> 00:31:24,466
Oh, stop it.
669
00:31:24,466 --> 00:31:25,843
No, he abandoned us.
670
00:31:27,469 --> 00:31:29,346
Mmm. He abandoned you.
671
00:31:31,140 --> 00:31:32,766
He moved away from me,
672
00:31:34,184 --> 00:31:35,519
and now he's moving back.
673
00:31:37,313 --> 00:31:39,356
No. No, he's not.
674
00:31:39,356 --> 00:31:41,108
Well, that's not your decision, Hank.
675
00:31:41,108 --> 00:31:42,818
Yeah, well, it's partly mine.
676
00:31:43,402 --> 00:31:44,612
No, it's not.
677
00:31:45,904 --> 00:31:48,574
I've invited him to stay, and he accepted.
678
00:31:49,950 --> 00:31:50,993
[Hank sighs]
679
00:32:00,586 --> 00:32:02,421
[Marnie] You have reached
Professor Devereaux's office.
680
00:32:02,421 --> 00:32:05,007
- Please leave a message after the tone.
- [voicemail beeps]
681
00:32:05,007 --> 00:32:06,675
Hey, Dad, it's Hank.
682
00:32:07,468 --> 00:32:08,469
Your son.
683
00:32:09,219 --> 00:32:10,220
Couple things.
684
00:32:10,220 --> 00:32:13,140
Uh, one, congrats on your retirement.
685
00:32:13,891 --> 00:32:16,477
I hope you have some plans to relax.
686
00:32:16,477 --> 00:32:20,022
I was meaning to send you a set of paints.
687
00:32:20,022 --> 00:32:22,107
That worked well for George W, which...
688
00:32:23,025 --> 00:32:24,860
That brings me to number two.
689
00:32:24,860 --> 00:32:26,111
It's kind of the big one.
690
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:29,740
I've been holding on
to a lot of anger towards you,
691
00:32:29,740 --> 00:32:32,117
and the more I think about it,
692
00:32:32,117 --> 00:32:33,410
the more
693
00:32:34,578 --> 00:32:36,497
appropriate it seems.
694
00:32:36,497 --> 00:32:37,790
It's well-earned.
695
00:32:38,707 --> 00:32:39,708
So,
696
00:32:40,542 --> 00:32:41,877
you're not welcome here.
697
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,755
Don't come to Railton.
698
00:32:44,755 --> 00:32:46,298
Enjoy the rest of the globe.
699
00:32:50,969 --> 00:32:51,970
[Julie] Dad?
700
00:32:53,972 --> 00:32:55,015
Dad, are you okay?
701
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:57,851
Dad?
702
00:33:01,522 --> 00:33:02,898
Did you really not hear me come in?
703
00:33:03,982 --> 00:33:05,317
Is one of you moving out?
704
00:33:05,317 --> 00:33:06,568
Huh? What?
705
00:33:06,568 --> 00:33:07,820
The moving pod out front?
706
00:33:09,863 --> 00:33:10,864
Uh...
707
00:33:12,533 --> 00:33:13,534
It's true, isn't it?
708
00:33:13,534 --> 00:33:15,536
You know, I knew something
was going on with you guys.
709
00:33:15,536 --> 00:33:17,329
What? No. It's a mistake.
710
00:33:17,329 --> 00:33:19,873
I'm taking care of that. Um...
711
00:33:20,958 --> 00:33:23,252
What... You want to sit down,
stay for lunch?
712
00:33:24,378 --> 00:33:25,379
Yeah.
713
00:33:25,379 --> 00:33:26,797
All right. I've got some...
714
00:33:26,797 --> 00:33:31,385
I've got some good bread
and, uh, ham and cheese.
715
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,388
I can make a grilled cheese.
716
00:33:34,388 --> 00:33:36,473
[Julie] Dad, I think
I'm in over my head.
717
00:33:40,102 --> 00:33:41,478
I just...
718
00:33:41,478 --> 00:33:43,522
I don't know. I don't know.
I just feel...
719
00:33:43,522 --> 00:33:45,899
Let's talk about it.
We'll figure it out.
720
00:33:48,402 --> 00:33:50,779
I started on this path a while ago,
721
00:33:50,779 --> 00:33:53,031
and I started making all of these choices,
722
00:33:53,031 --> 00:33:54,742
and... Like... Like the pool.
723
00:33:54,742 --> 00:33:56,034
[Hank] Uh-huh.
724
00:33:56,034 --> 00:33:57,327
[sighs]
725
00:33:57,327 --> 00:33:58,829
I just feel like...
726
00:33:58,829 --> 00:34:00,789
I started on this path a while ago,
727
00:34:00,789 --> 00:34:02,833
and then I started making
all of these choices,
728
00:34:02,833 --> 00:34:04,251
like with the pool,
729
00:34:04,251 --> 00:34:07,629
and now there's
a freaking rented backhoe
730
00:34:07,629 --> 00:34:09,256
stuck in a hole in my backyard,
731
00:34:09,256 --> 00:34:11,300
and I don't know how to get it out,
732
00:34:11,300 --> 00:34:13,927
and everything is starting
to feel really overwhelming.
733
00:34:13,927 --> 00:34:15,471
Yes, well, that's okay.
734
00:34:15,471 --> 00:34:18,432
I mean,
everybody gets there sometimes.
735
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,894
- Yeah?
- Here's the great thing, right?
736
00:34:21,894 --> 00:34:23,479
You're not locked in.
737
00:34:23,479 --> 00:34:24,772
Right? You can get out.
738
00:34:25,814 --> 00:34:27,065
You're 24.
739
00:34:27,065 --> 00:34:28,400
You can do anything.
740
00:34:31,820 --> 00:34:34,364
Yeah, I know. What do you...
What do you mean?
741
00:34:34,364 --> 00:34:36,200
You can move to New York,
742
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,409
or Nashville,
743
00:34:37,409 --> 00:34:39,703
anywhere where there's opportunity.
744
00:34:40,412 --> 00:34:41,497
What are you talking about?
745
00:34:41,497 --> 00:34:43,040
Are you trying to get me to leave?
746
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,208
No.
747
00:34:45,209 --> 00:34:46,210
Well...
748
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,755
Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
749
00:34:50,756 --> 00:34:53,509
I was talking about one DIY project
that went wrong,
750
00:34:53,509 --> 00:34:55,969
one project, and now you're trying
to use it to kick me out of town?
751
00:34:55,969 --> 00:34:57,304
I'm not kicking you out.
752
00:34:57,304 --> 00:34:58,472
Yeah, I'm not an idiot, Dad.
753
00:34:58,472 --> 00:34:59,556
I didn't understand.
754
00:34:59,556 --> 00:35:00,974
It is obvious to me
755
00:35:00,974 --> 00:35:03,227
that I have not lived up
to all of your expectations.
756
00:35:03,227 --> 00:35:05,229
- I never said anything--
- I didn't go to grad school,
757
00:35:05,229 --> 00:35:06,480
or, like, write a bunch of books,
758
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,607
and I'm not super ambitious
like you and Grandpa,
759
00:35:08,607 --> 00:35:09,942
and I'm sorry.
760
00:35:09,942 --> 00:35:12,528
I'm so sorry
that my whole life goal
761
00:35:12,528 --> 00:35:16,532
wasn't to, like,
achieve stuff, or something.
762
00:35:16,532 --> 00:35:19,952
But I like it here,
and I'm going to stay here.
763
00:35:26,708 --> 00:35:27,918
You don't have anything to say?
764
00:35:29,378 --> 00:35:30,546
[sighs]
765
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,632
You rented a backhoe?
766
00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:39,721
Don't follow me!
767
00:35:45,769 --> 00:35:48,021
Here. For your troubles.
768
00:35:49,022 --> 00:35:50,023
Thanks.
769
00:35:50,691 --> 00:35:52,359
I'm gonna need a lot more of these.
770
00:35:52,985 --> 00:35:55,112
Okay, so it's true.
771
00:35:57,197 --> 00:35:58,615
How deep are the cuts going?
772
00:35:59,533 --> 00:36:00,659
I don't know.
773
00:36:00,659 --> 00:36:01,743
Oh...
774
00:36:01,743 --> 00:36:03,495
My mom is really worried.
775
00:36:03,495 --> 00:36:04,580
Yeah.
776
00:36:04,580 --> 00:36:07,666
Yeah, she is not doing great.
777
00:36:10,878 --> 00:36:12,421
Hank, I'm not blaming you.
778
00:36:12,921 --> 00:36:15,090
I'll take care of her if I need to.
You know that.
779
00:36:15,090 --> 00:36:17,885
Well, you're a lot better daughter
than I am a son.
780
00:36:17,885 --> 00:36:19,595
I just left a message
for my father
781
00:36:19,595 --> 00:36:21,513
telling him
he's not welcome here, ever.
782
00:36:22,472 --> 00:36:23,473
Did you really?
783
00:36:23,473 --> 00:36:24,558
Yeah, I did.
784
00:36:24,558 --> 00:36:26,560
- You don't even like it here, Hank.
- Nobody does.
785
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,353
Yeah, no shit.
We should all get out.
786
00:36:28,353 --> 00:36:30,480
Can't. Tenure.
787
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,441
Can't. Mother.
788
00:36:33,859 --> 00:36:35,360
Looks like we're both trapped here, huh?
789
00:36:37,529 --> 00:36:40,574
[Hank] When did she start
with the nose jewelry?
790
00:36:40,574 --> 00:36:43,619
I mean, it's cute,
but I'm not fooled.
791
00:36:43,619 --> 00:36:44,745
It's a cry for help.
792
00:36:45,579 --> 00:36:47,289
If nobody answers,
793
00:36:47,289 --> 00:36:49,416
the next thing is gonna be crazy hats,
794
00:36:49,416 --> 00:36:50,542
balloon pants,
795
00:36:50,542 --> 00:36:53,795
and then she's riding
a unicycle down Main Street.
796
00:36:54,421 --> 00:36:55,422
Meg, hey.
797
00:36:56,882 --> 00:36:58,008
Listen...
798
00:37:00,844 --> 00:37:02,137
What?
799
00:37:02,137 --> 00:37:05,098
They're instituting a hiring freeze.
800
00:37:05,098 --> 00:37:09,519
There's not going to be any tenure track
positions for a long time.
801
00:37:10,687 --> 00:37:11,897
For how long?
802
00:37:13,649 --> 00:37:14,650
Years.
803
00:37:16,109 --> 00:37:17,194
It's bleak.
804
00:37:19,363 --> 00:37:21,031
God damn this place.
805
00:37:21,823 --> 00:37:22,950
With these cuts,
806
00:37:22,950 --> 00:37:26,662
I'm not going to be able
to give you any classes next semester.
807
00:37:28,497 --> 00:37:29,748
[exhales angrily]
808
00:37:29,748 --> 00:37:32,042
Hey, you've got a killer resume,
809
00:37:32,042 --> 00:37:33,669
and you're young for academia.
810
00:37:33,669 --> 00:37:35,963
Your scholarship
covers all the hot topics.
811
00:37:35,963 --> 00:37:38,131
Any school would jump at the chance,
812
00:37:38,131 --> 00:37:39,716
even in this job market.
813
00:37:39,716 --> 00:37:41,635
You should be out there
looking around.
814
00:37:41,635 --> 00:37:42,803
Seriously.
815
00:37:42,803 --> 00:37:44,972
Yeah, I've got a better idea.
816
00:37:44,972 --> 00:37:47,099
["Silver Timothy" playing]
817
00:37:50,602 --> 00:37:51,937
I'll take... I'll take one.
818
00:37:51,937 --> 00:37:53,021
You want one?
819
00:37:54,022 --> 00:37:55,607

That's what I'm talking about.
830
00:38:46,116 --> 00:38:47,576
I'm gonna get you a glass of water.
831
00:38:47,576 --> 00:38:48,744
Okay.
832
00:39:32,329 --> 00:39:33,371
Good night, Meg.
833
00:39:39,878 --> 00:39:42,130
[Hank] I was at the movies.
834
00:39:42,923 --> 00:39:44,424
Uh, the restaurant.
835
00:39:44,424 --> 00:39:45,509
A bar.
836
00:39:46,134 --> 00:39:47,219
At the dentist.
837
00:39:48,220 --> 00:39:51,264
I ran into Tony, and he needed to talk.
838
00:39:52,516 --> 00:39:54,101
Oh...
839
00:39:54,101 --> 00:39:56,394
Who cares where I was?
840
00:39:56,394 --> 00:40:00,440
I mean, what, do I ask you
every damn thing about your life?
841
00:40:01,525 --> 00:40:04,945
Come on, what, are we married now?
842
00:40:07,489 --> 00:40:09,533
Yeah... Yeah, we are.
843
00:40:17,916 --> 00:40:19,292
- You're still up.
- Mmm-hmm.
844
00:40:20,752 --> 00:40:22,254
- I'm wiped.
- I bet.
845
00:40:23,088 --> 00:40:24,798
It's way past your bedtime.
846
00:40:25,799 --> 00:40:26,842
Were you with Tony?
847
00:40:28,677 --> 00:40:30,137
No, actually.
848
00:40:30,137 --> 00:40:33,181
I was in the company
of a very attractive, young,
849
00:40:33,181 --> 00:40:34,933
single, 30-something woman.
850
00:40:34,933 --> 00:40:36,351
Mmm. By the name of?
851
00:40:37,602 --> 00:40:38,645
Meg Quigley.
852
00:40:38,645 --> 00:40:40,981
Oh, you're working your way
through your bucket list.
853
00:40:42,315 --> 00:40:43,859
You're my bucket list, baby.
854
00:40:45,235 --> 00:40:47,320
She... She was really drunk.
855
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,364
I had to drive her home.
856
00:40:49,364 --> 00:40:50,574
Did you get any?
857
00:40:50,574 --> 00:40:51,783
[scoffs] No.
858
00:40:52,617 --> 00:40:56,079
Uh, we did end up in the bedroom,
859
00:40:56,079 --> 00:40:57,622
and clothes were shed.
860
00:40:57,622 --> 00:40:58,999
I mean, hers, not mine.
861
00:41:00,584 --> 00:41:01,877
Is that... Is that true?
862
00:41:03,003 --> 00:41:05,589
And I was forced to flee
to protect her honor,
863
00:41:05,589 --> 00:41:07,382
and my honor, and your honor.
864
00:41:10,343 --> 00:41:12,095
How lucky for all of us
that you were there.
865
00:41:14,389 --> 00:41:15,390
Thank you.
866
00:41:16,391 --> 00:41:18,602
She was really upset because I told her
867
00:41:18,602 --> 00:41:20,979
classes aren't happening
for her this fall.
868
00:41:20,979 --> 00:41:22,480
[Lily] That's terrible.
869
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:23,982
[Hank] No, it's not.
870
00:41:23,982 --> 00:41:25,984
Somebody has to kick her
out of the nest.
871
00:41:25,984 --> 00:41:27,903
I told her the classes...
872
00:41:27,903 --> 00:41:29,321
Well, they're cut.
873
00:41:29,946 --> 00:41:31,031
But are they?
874
00:41:31,031 --> 00:41:32,616
[Hank] Well, no.
875
00:41:36,494 --> 00:41:37,704
Did you lie to her?
876
00:41:37,704 --> 00:41:39,456
Well, she was never going to leave.
877
00:41:39,456 --> 00:41:41,416
She thinks she has to
take care of her mom.
878
00:41:41,416 --> 00:41:43,710
Somebody has to end
this madness for her.
879
00:41:43,710 --> 00:41:46,546
[Lily] But she had told you
that she wanted to stay.
880
00:41:46,546 --> 00:41:47,714
Jesus Christ, Hank.
881
00:41:47,714 --> 00:41:50,258
You're projecting all of your shit
onto everybody else.
882
00:41:51,092 --> 00:41:53,136
- What?
- Julie, Meg,
883
00:41:53,929 --> 00:41:55,889
telling everybody
they should leave town.
884
00:41:56,848 --> 00:41:57,849
