00:00:11,052 --> 00:00:12,929
My dad is holding a hostage.
3
00:00:12,929 --> 00:00:15,265
It's one guy trapped in one basement.
We can figure it out.
4
00:00:15,265 --> 00:00:17,642
There's nothing to figure out.
We have to go release him.
5
00:00:17,642 --> 00:00:20,895
You're totally right. We should definitely
consider that as an option.
6
00:00:20,895 --> 00:00:22,897
I feel like you're tricking me
into brainstorming.
7
00:00:22,897 --> 00:00:25,066
Look, if that therapist tells anyone
8
00:00:25,066 --> 00:00:28,153
that he's been, let's say,
"guested against his will,"
9
00:00:28,153 --> 00:00:30,739
your father will go to prison
and the company will be destroyed.
10
00:00:30,739 --> 00:00:33,992
So we keep him locked down there
until he dies and bury him in a wall?
11
00:00:33,992 --> 00:00:36,703
Of course not. Although I'm glad
you're pitching new ideas.
12
00:00:36,703 --> 00:00:38,038
I'm gonna go let him out.
13
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,916
Oh my God.
You're obsessed with letting him out.

[upbeat instrumental music playing]
15
00:00:53,094 --> 00:00:56,056
[Ellis] I thought he was leaving,
so I go back into the bar,
16
00:00:56,056 --> 00:00:58,266
and guess who's on stage right behind me--
17
00:00:58,266 --> 00:00:59,517
- No.
- Holding his flute.
18
00:00:59,517 --> 00:01:02,937
- Oh my God, your son! Goosebumps.
- Mm. Right?
19
00:01:02,937 --> 00:01:05,732
- [sighs]
- And then, the karaoke kicks in--
20
00:01:05,732 --> 00:01:06,858
What's going on?
21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,318
Well, nothing now.
22
00:01:08,318 --> 00:01:10,987
I was building to a dramatic finish
on an awesome story.
23
00:01:10,987 --> 00:01:13,114
- We should keep that door locked.
- Mm.
24
00:01:13,114 --> 00:01:16,451
Look at that. Everything's fine.
And you were so quick to be negative.
25
00:01:16,451 --> 00:01:19,245
No. No, no, no.
I'm sorry. Didn't my dad kidnap you?
26
00:01:19,245 --> 00:01:20,955
Oh, you're Jackson.
27
00:01:21,873 --> 00:01:22,957
Welcome.
28
00:01:22,957 --> 00:01:26,252
Well, yes, the relationship
started off as a challenge,
29
00:01:26,252 --> 00:01:27,754
but I've been enjoying my time here.
30
00:01:27,754 --> 00:01:30,381
We have dinner together. We play pool.
Tomorrow's movie night.
31
00:01:30,381 --> 00:01:33,093
This guy's never seen Fargo.
Don't tell him anything.
32
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:37,055
Which is a good rule of thumb
for all of us. Never tell anyone anything.
33
00:01:37,055 --> 00:01:40,183
You know, before I met your dad,
I was going down an unhealthy path.
34
00:01:41,267 --> 00:01:43,353
I threatened this man. Blackmailed him.
35
00:01:43,353 --> 00:01:48,108
But he got me back on track. He made me
realize that's not how I wanted to be.
36
00:01:48,108 --> 00:01:50,735
I think I just gave you time
so you could reflect.
37
00:01:50,735 --> 00:01:55,406
No! You saved me. I want you to hear that.
38
00:01:55,406 --> 00:01:58,868
Jesus Christ. How is it possible
that even when you kidnap someone--
39
00:01:58,868 --> 00:02:00,995
You mean give somebody a helpful timeout.
40
00:02:00,995 --> 00:02:03,289
Their reaction is still
praise and gratitude?
41
00:02:03,289 --> 00:02:06,126
Well, I think most people
are just really good at being grateful.
42
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:08,169
They're not.
There's a bunch of books on it.
43
00:02:08,169 --> 00:02:12,132
Jackson, you seem very focused
on what's been happening out here.
44
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:15,844
But tell me, what's happening in here?
45
00:02:15,844 --> 00:02:17,262
Ooh! Let's unpack that.
46
00:02:17,846 --> 00:02:19,472
[spluttering] Let me ask you this.
47
00:02:19,472 --> 00:02:22,392
Your father and I have discussed
the loss of his wife,
48
00:02:22,892 --> 00:02:25,145
but how do you feel
about the loss of your mother?
49
00:02:26,020 --> 00:02:29,190
I think I'm the last person here whose
mental health should be put into question.
50
00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:30,108
Second-to-last.
51
00:02:30,108 --> 00:02:32,318
- He's avoiding your question.
- Textbook avoidance.
52
00:02:32,318 --> 00:02:33,778
- Sad.
- Do you hear his pain?
53
00:02:33,778 --> 00:02:37,323
Deafening. What I'm not hearing
is how you're dealing with your grief.
54
00:02:37,323 --> 00:02:39,367
- Oh! Let's unpack that.
- [Jackson] Let's not.
55
00:02:39,367 --> 00:02:40,660
Let's not unpack anything.
56
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:43,163
Why is you kidnapping someone
suddenly about me?
57
00:02:43,163 --> 00:02:44,914
Okay, here's what's gonna happen.
58
00:02:44,914 --> 00:02:47,041
Leslie, you blackmailed Ellis.
Very illegal.
59
00:02:47,041 --> 00:02:51,129
Ellis, you imprisoned him.
Also not great. So let's call it a wash.
60
00:02:51,129 --> 00:02:53,173
Also, you can go.
61
00:02:57,719 --> 00:02:58,803
Maybe she's right.
62
00:03:00,763 --> 00:03:03,892
- Maybe it is time for me to leave.
- This is all happening so fast.
63
00:03:07,437 --> 00:03:08,855
Thank you for fixing me.
64
00:03:12,317 --> 00:03:13,860
Promise me you'll watch Fargo.
65
00:03:14,611 --> 00:03:16,487
- [Leslie] Oh God.
- [sniffles]
66
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:18,698
And August: Osage County.
67
00:03:19,324 --> 00:03:20,200
[Jackson sighs]
68
00:03:21,743 --> 00:03:23,870
- You.
- You.
69
00:03:26,414 --> 00:03:27,332
Let's go.
70
00:03:27,332 --> 00:03:29,459
It'd be really great
if in your report to the board,
71
00:03:29,459 --> 00:03:33,713
you described Ellis as engaged,
focused, and ridiculously sane.
72
00:03:33,713 --> 00:03:36,174
- Really work the word "sane."
- I love that man.
73
00:03:36,174 --> 00:03:38,009
[scoffs] This is ridiculous.
74
00:03:38,009 --> 00:03:40,762
No matter what you do,
everything goes your way.
75
00:03:40,762 --> 00:03:42,722
[chuckles] That's not true.
76
00:03:42,722 --> 00:03:44,224
And I missed my flight.
77
00:03:44,224 --> 00:03:45,892
[giggles] That's what I wanted.

[whimsical music ends]
80
00:03:56,027 --> 00:03:58,529
Why aren't you putting peanut butter
on your jelly sandwich?
81
00:03:58,529 --> 00:04:00,657
I decided it was too early
for a nut spread.
82
00:04:00,657 --> 00:04:03,952
Ah, see, this is exactly
what Leslie and I were worried about.
83
00:04:03,952 --> 00:04:07,330
You're not using peanut butter because
that's the last batch your mom made,
84
00:04:07,330 --> 00:04:08,748
and it reminds you of her.
85
00:04:08,748 --> 00:04:10,959
Or I was just craving
a plain jelly sandwich.
86
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:13,711
- Only a monster would eat that.
- Paddington does it.
87
00:04:13,711 --> 00:04:16,798
Paddington is a talking bear,
so technically, he's a monster.
88
00:04:17,298 --> 00:04:19,384
Eat the peanut butter. Feel your grief.
89
00:04:21,386 --> 00:04:24,097
Okay. It is about Mom,
but I don't want to go there right now.
90
00:04:24,097 --> 00:04:26,015
Have you even cried
since your mother's funeral?
91
00:04:26,015 --> 00:04:27,267
Don't tell me how to grieve.
92
00:04:27,267 --> 00:04:29,602
Well if you were better at it,
I wouldn't have to.
93
00:04:29,602 --> 00:04:31,062
Don't bottle up your grief.
94
00:04:31,062 --> 00:04:34,524
If you stay,
I will show you how to properly feel.
95
00:04:34,524 --> 00:04:36,693
Kidnap one therapist,
and suddenly you know everything.
96
00:04:36,693 --> 00:04:39,946
But actually I couldn't get a flight out,
so I will be here one more day.
97
00:04:40,863 --> 00:04:43,283
- I wanna go to the lab.
- You're gonna come to work with me?
98
00:04:43,283 --> 00:04:46,786
We'll get you a proper shirt,
fix whatever's going on with your hair,
99
00:04:46,786 --> 00:04:48,079
then we are gonna get at it.
100
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:50,665
It's impressive how fast you shift
from excitement to criticism.
101
00:04:50,665 --> 00:04:52,583
I can't even hear you over that shirt.
102
00:04:52,583 --> 00:04:53,584

Malcolm.
105
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,678
- You're drinking too much coffee.
- Oh God. I'm sorry. I'll pay for it.
106
00:05:03,678 --> 00:05:06,973
I'm kidding. I don't care.

- I'm waiting for an answer.
- Oh. Um...
109
00:05:10,643 --> 00:05:12,228
- I'm kidding.
- Good one.
110
00:05:12,228 --> 00:05:15,148
- Why does no one get my sense of humor?
- [chuckles] You're kidding again.
111
00:05:15,148 --> 00:05:17,984
- No, this time I'm serious.
- Oh, um...
112
00:05:17,984 --> 00:05:20,778
I'm kidding again.
Why does no one get my sense of humor?
113
00:05:20,778 --> 00:05:22,530
- This is hurting me.
- Fun.
114
00:05:22,530 --> 00:05:26,117
Ellis's recent eccentricities
have the board watching us pretty closely,
115
00:05:26,117 --> 00:05:27,410
so we need to cut a few costs.
116
00:05:27,410 --> 00:05:31,205
Since Ellis has recklessly promoted you
from his assistant to project manager,
117
00:05:31,205 --> 00:05:32,999
go to Red Lab and tighten things up.
118
00:05:32,999 --> 00:05:34,625
I can do that. 100%.
119
00:05:34,625 --> 00:05:36,419
Good. Start with their food budget.
120
00:05:36,419 --> 00:05:39,881
- Oh, boy. They love their food.
- Now they're gonna love even less of it.
121
00:05:39,881 --> 00:05:43,301
It's just I'm new to supervising them,
so I don't want them to feel--
122
00:05:43,301 --> 00:05:44,469
Like you're good at the job?
123
00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:48,014
Maybe you're not project manager material.
It's okay. Moving up isn't for everyone.
124
00:05:48,014 --> 00:05:51,768
No. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it.
125
00:05:51,768 --> 00:05:52,685
Keep going.
126
00:05:52,685 --> 00:05:55,271
I'm sure if you find the right cadence,
it'll magically come true.
127
00:05:55,271 --> 00:05:58,107
- Hey, everybody. How's it going?
- I'm doing it.
128
00:05:58,107 --> 00:06:00,902
- Good for you. What's he doing?
- Probably nothing.
129
00:06:01,778 --> 00:06:04,280
I'm worried about Jackson.
He is not crying enough.
130
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:07,700
Oh, I hate crying. That's why I only do it
once a year for 12 hours.
131
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:09,786
I think the reason
he wants to rush back to New York
132
00:06:09,786 --> 00:06:11,871
is 'cause everything here
reminds him of his mother.
133
00:06:11,871 --> 00:06:14,916
And if he can just grieve,
then he could heal.
134
00:06:14,916 --> 00:06:17,418
- And then maybe he'd stay.
- I'd love to have him here too.
135
00:06:17,418 --> 00:06:21,464
But I'd also love for there to be
a company to have him here at... too.
136
00:06:22,340 --> 00:06:23,925
- Yeah, that works.
- So we're in agreement.
137
00:06:23,925 --> 00:06:27,720
- We all want Jackson to cry and stay.
- Yes, and for there to be a here.
138
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,932
In order for that to happen, the board
needs to see some tangible progress.
139
00:06:30,932 --> 00:06:32,850
They are thinking of replacing you.
140
00:06:32,850 --> 00:06:34,644
It's those stupid Wiffleball twins,
isn't it?
141
00:06:34,644 --> 00:06:37,230
Wallerson twins.
But the whole board is nervous.
142
00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:40,400
They've called a meeting today at two.
It was supposed to be yesterday,
143
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,237
but you were too busy bounding about your
office, dick out, balls in the breeze.
144
00:06:44,237 --> 00:06:45,947
Yes.
Because I know how to grieve properly.
145
00:06:45,947 --> 00:06:48,950
I'm gonna lock myself in my office,
with my clothes on.
146
00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:51,994
[inhales sharply] I'm not gonna come out
until I have a breakthrough.
147
00:06:51,994 --> 00:06:53,538
- I believe in you.
- Me too.
148
00:06:53,538 --> 00:06:55,456
- That's great.
- Still worried about Jackson.
149
00:06:55,456 --> 00:06:58,167
- You're not gonna let that slow you down.
- We'll see.
150
00:06:58,167 --> 00:06:59,961

[distant phone ringing]
152
00:07:02,630 --> 00:07:03,756
Hmm.
153
00:07:04,966 --> 00:07:07,510
- Jackson? What are you doing here?
- Oh, hi, Luna.
154
00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:10,096
I just had some crazy ideas
for the carbon capture project.
155
00:07:10,096 --> 00:07:12,723
- Hope you don't mind. I got the biomass.
- Not at all.
156
00:07:12,723 --> 00:07:15,560
I mean, your dad created it.
So basically, it's your little brother.
157
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,730
That's true. So I guess I can tease it,
as long as there's no adults around.
158
00:07:19,730 --> 00:07:21,107
Hey, fatty.
159
00:07:21,107 --> 00:07:22,859
So you went with body-shaming, huh?
160
00:07:22,859 --> 00:07:23,901
Sorry.
161
00:07:23,901 --> 00:07:25,778
[whispers] You're always
getting me in trouble.
162
00:07:25,778 --> 00:07:26,779
[Luna chuckles]
163
00:07:26,779 --> 00:07:27,822
So it's pretty cool
164
00:07:27,822 --> 00:07:31,826
you guys raised the carbon absorption rate
of the biomass by a factor of 9,942.
165
00:07:31,826 --> 00:07:34,662
I'm impressed.
Most people round that up to 10,000.
166
00:07:34,662 --> 00:07:37,582
- I hate being inexact.
- I think imprecision is the new smoking.
167
00:07:37,582 --> 00:07:40,126
Right? If I want an approximation,
I'll ask for it.
168
00:07:40,126 --> 00:07:41,961
And I will never ask for it.
169
00:07:41,961 --> 00:07:44,046
[chuckles]
170
00:07:45,089 --> 00:07:47,341
So, uh, you want to see my crazy idea?
171
00:07:47,925 --> 00:07:49,719
I was reading a research article
on the plane.
172
00:07:49,719 --> 00:07:51,804
- You read research articles for fun?
- No.
173
00:07:51,804 --> 00:07:53,598
- I do.
- I do too.
174
00:07:53,598 --> 00:07:57,185
On the G1 cyclin family of proteins
and their role in pre-mitosis cell growth.
175
00:07:57,852 --> 00:07:58,728
I'm listening.
176
00:07:58,728 --> 00:08:00,104
Okay, so I started to think
177
00:08:00,104 --> 00:08:02,899
since you can essentially measure
cell size by the number of ribosomes,
178
00:08:02,899 --> 00:08:04,609
if you reduce the cyclin synthesis rate--
179
00:08:04,609 --> 00:08:07,737
- It could limit cell growth.
- And with smaller cells, you'd have--
180
00:08:07,737 --> 00:08:10,239
- Greater surface area--
- And increased carbon absorption.
181
00:08:10,239 --> 00:08:11,449
The overall mass coefficient
182
00:08:11,449 --> 00:08:12,700
[both] Would be amazing.
183
00:08:14,702 --> 00:08:15,786
I have a boyfriend.
184
00:08:15,786 --> 00:08:19,916
That's great. And boyfriends are great.
And this is great. Everything is great.
185
00:08:20,583 --> 00:08:22,919
It feels great and I gotta fake this call.
Take this call.
186

Hey, Jackson.
187
00:08:27,965 --> 00:08:29,634
I'm thinking of asking him out.
188
00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:31,344
Really?
189
00:08:31,344 --> 00:08:32,261
He's cute.
190
00:08:32,261 --> 00:08:35,139
I like that he's a little afraid of me.
Plus I think we connected.
191
00:08:35,723 --> 00:08:39,644
You connect with a lot of people.
That barista, his manager, my parents.
192
00:08:39,644 --> 00:08:42,271
They love you. Not to date.
Please don't date my parents.
193
00:08:42,271 --> 00:08:45,191
Wait, you're not into Jackson, are you?
194
00:08:45,191 --> 00:08:47,318
Me? No, I have a boyfriend.
195
00:08:47,318 --> 00:08:49,445
- Yeah, but you don't like him.
- I like him.
196
00:08:49,445 --> 00:08:51,447
- Not that much.
- I like him enough.
197
00:08:51,447 --> 00:08:54,617
I mean, a lot.
Go out with Jackson. I don't care.

The most important lab,
saving the world by capturing carbon.
201
00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:06,379
- We feel like you want something.
- [chuckles] Nonsense.
202
00:09:06,379 --> 00:09:09,173
But you know how we're friends,
and we'll always be friends,
203
00:09:09,173 --> 00:09:12,385
even though technically, I'm now in charge
of everything that goes on down here.
204
00:09:12,385 --> 00:09:15,930
- That still feels like a paperwork error.
- [chuckles] You guys.
205
00:09:16,597 --> 00:09:19,058
It's just that you're spending
too much money on food,
206
00:09:19,058 --> 00:09:23,062
which is fine with me, but it's a problem
with the fat cats upstairs. Those people.

Always coming after the working man. Woman.

We're not cutting back on food.
Anything else?

- No. Anything else?

00:09:30,820 --> 00:09:33,990
You buy outrageously expensive pistachios.
Maybe if you just stop--
212
00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:36,409
- Are you out of your mind?
- You're not taking our pistachios.
213
00:09:36,409 --> 00:09:40,371
You try and take away the one snack that
gives us the energy to save the world?

Listen, we're all very scared right now.

When Jackson was ten,
we were vacationing in Bali

and he was having a hard time
sleeping in a strange mansion,

You said you were only thinking
of asking me out.
331
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:52,368
So I do all the work, and you do nothing?
I hope that's not how you approach sex.
332
00:15:52,368 --> 00:15:53,410
Look, I'm sorry.
333
00:15:54,119 --> 00:15:57,539
I do want to go out with you.
So let's go out. How about tonight?
334
00:15:57,539 --> 00:16:00,250
- I can't tonight. How about Friday?
- I leave tomorrow.
335
00:16:00,250 --> 00:16:02,962
So you put me through
this exhausting mating dance for nothing?
336
00:16:02,962 --> 00:16:05,255
I didn't know it was only Friday
you were thinking about
337
00:16:05,255 --> 00:16:07,549
when you were only thinking
about asking me out.
338
00:16:07,549 --> 00:16:10,344
Well, maybe next time you're in town,
we can almost go out again.
339
00:16:11,345 --> 00:16:12,388
I would like that.
340
00:16:12,388 --> 00:16:14,932
[clears throat] Ruby,
if you'll make your way to the kitchen,
341
00:16:14,932 --> 00:16:18,143
I have a little surprise
I think you'll be nuts about.
342
00:16:19,937 --> 00:16:21,105
I bet it's nuts.
343
00:16:21,105 --> 00:16:24,942
If it's not, I'll spend my life wondering
why he leaned so hard on that word.
344
00:16:24,942 --> 00:16:26,777
[whimsical music plays]
345
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:33,492
I got you guys a large size
of the fancy pistachios you like
346
00:16:33,492 --> 00:16:36,120
and put them in this beautiful jar
because you're my friends,
347
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,413
and we respect each other,
348
00:16:37,413 --> 00:16:39,999
and I don't care
what those fat cats do to me.
349
00:16:39,999 --> 00:16:41,250
Thank you, Malcolm.
350
00:16:41,250 --> 00:16:44,795
Your hazy commitment to the company
is gonna make you a great boss.
351
00:16:44,795 --> 00:16:47,214
Mm. Nutting like these nuts.
352
00:16:47,214 --> 00:16:50,551
You mirroring my pun makes me feel
really good about where we are now.
353
00:16:50,551 --> 00:16:53,012
They're pistachio-licous.
354
00:16:53,012 --> 00:16:56,682
Excellent. Nice work, everyone.
Let's keep it up, all of us.
355
00:16:57,891 --> 00:16:59,977
It was nice of us to pretend we're idiots

a fine pistachio and this literal garbage.

But why?

00:17:04,606 --> 00:17:08,193
If he gets demoted, who knows
what a real boss would look like?
359
00:17:08,193 --> 00:17:11,363
True. And after today, he's not
gonna come back at us anytime soon.
360
00:17:11,363 --> 00:17:14,533
No. Imagine what we'd do if it was
something we actually cared about?
361
00:17:14,533 --> 00:17:17,494
- I don't even like pistachios.
- Definitely not worth the money.
362
00:17:22,958 --> 00:17:24,626
Where's your genius, Anna?
363
00:17:24,626 --> 00:17:26,336
Yeah, where's your genius?

Is the great Ellis Dragon scared
because he knows this might be the end?
365
00:17:29,548 --> 00:17:32,009
Yeah. Is the great Ellis Dragon
scared because--
366
00:17:32,009 --> 00:17:33,343
You know what, twins?
367
00:17:33,343 --> 00:17:35,262
It's not fair
that because of your inheritance,
368
00:17:35,262 --> 00:17:37,097
people say
that you've been handed everything,
369
00:17:37,097 --> 00:17:39,850
when neither of you has inherited
a single appealing quality.
370
00:17:42,436 --> 00:17:45,856
What is science?
371
00:17:47,316 --> 00:17:53,447
Wrong. It's innovation and synergy.
Synovation. Innergy.
372
00:17:55,449 --> 00:17:58,285
- We don't know what that means.
- Which we're usually okay with.
373
00:17:58,285 --> 00:18:00,996
This time we're not. We need to know
what you've actually been doing.
374
00:18:00,996 --> 00:18:03,791
I'll tell you what we've been doing,
Chaz or TJ.
375
00:18:03,791 --> 00:18:05,876
We've been kicking life
in the goddamn balls.
376
00:18:05,876 --> 00:18:08,128
- What about the benchmarks?
- Yeah. What about--
377
00:18:08,128 --> 00:18:10,380
- Don't.
- [Ellis] Let me talk about benchmarks.
378
00:18:10,380 --> 00:18:14,843
Not only are we going to meet them,
we're going to become their friends.
379
00:18:14,843 --> 00:18:17,596
Such good friends
that if we ask for a ride to the airport,
380
00:18:17,596 --> 00:18:19,723
they'd say yes without hesitation.
Right, Anna?
381
00:18:19,723 --> 00:18:22,976
Right. And they'll be all,
"What time is your returning flight?"
382
00:18:22,976 --> 00:18:24,895
And we'll say, "It's okay. We'll Uber."
383
00:18:24,895 --> 00:18:29,066
They'll say, "No, don't be silly. We're
picking you up. What are benchmarks for?"
384
00:18:29,066 --> 00:18:31,026
- Now you toss it back to me.
- Back to you, Ellis.
385

- And bullshit is innovation.

00:18:48,210 --> 00:18:50,587
No. No, it's not.
389
00:18:51,713 --> 00:18:53,882
The truth is
we're not going to meet your benchmarks.

[board members groan]

I was gonna come in here and try
to razzle-dazzle you, but I don't want to.
392
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,889
Because I learned something
from a young man today that...
393
00:19:01,390 --> 00:19:03,809
Just because something doesn't happen
when you think it should
394
00:19:03,809 --> 00:19:05,853
doesn't mean the person's doing it wrong.
395
00:19:05,853 --> 00:19:08,480
I'm working on a timeline
that's right for me.
396
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:09,523
I am who I am.
397
00:19:09,523 --> 00:19:11,984
And if you have a problem with that,
then that's on you.

I am so drawn to his confidence.
401
00:19:17,156 --> 00:19:19,408
I'm the man who created
the bruise-less avocado.
402
00:19:19,408 --> 00:19:21,994
I also developed a bionic pancreas
403
00:19:21,994 --> 00:19:24,413
so inexpensively, you could sell
as a three-pack at Costco.

we will figure out this carbon project.

- Always. This is just a temporary setback.

We're gonna bury him.

- Why do we even have to speak?
- We don't.

- How'd it go?
- He did great.
413

[exhales] Good.

I don't really feel like jelly right now.

It's a symbol. I realized something
based on what you said

with more authority and better posture.
