- (Cheering)
- 2
- 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,090
- Whait: Thank you. Thank you.
- 3
- 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,720
- But no, give yourselves a hand
- because it was your hard work
- 4
- 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,720
- that gave yardsham inlet the best year
- in the history of this agency.
- 5
- 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,640
- (Cheering)
- 6
- 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,280
- Before we let all that success
- go to our heads,
- 7
- 00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:48,520
- we just thought we should get together
- and reconnect with the fundamentals
- 8
- 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,960
- of what actually got us here.
- 9
- 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,640
- For that, I'm gonna turn it over
- 10
- 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,640
- to our resident
- poet philosopher of product.
- 11
- 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,330
- The rebel command of brand.
- 12
- 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,130
- He's the guru
- who terrifies Madison Avenue.
- 13
- 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,800
- (Cheering)
- 14
- 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,560
- My partner, my better half,
- 15
- 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:03,720
- Howard inlet.
- 16
- 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,280
- (Cheering)
- 17
- 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:08,920
- (Softly) Love you.
- 18
- 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,840
- - Yes!
- - (Cheering continues)
- 19
- 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,000
- Oh. What is your "why"?
- 20
- 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,040
- Why did you even get out
- of the bed this morning?
- 21
- 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,200
- Why did you eat what you ate?
- 22
- 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,520
- Why did you wear what you wore?
- 23
- 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,880
- Why did you come here?
- 24
- 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,520
- Other than the fact that
- I would fire you and hire someone else
- 25
- 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,210
- if you didn't show up for work, but...
- 26
- 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,200
- - (Laughing)
- - Not that. The big "why."
- 27
- 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,800
- We're certainly not here
- to just sell shit.
- 28
- 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,160
- We are here
- 29
- 00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:46,890
- to connect.
- 30
- 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,520
- Life is about people.
- 31
- 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,490
- Advertising is about illuminating
- 32
- 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,530
- how our products and services
- 33
- 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,960
- will improve people's lives.
- 34
- 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,850
- Now,
- 35
- 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,720
- how do we do that?
- 36
- 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,010
- Love.
- 37
- 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,040
- Time.
- 38
- 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,080
- Death.
- 39
- 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,040
- Now these three abstractions
- connect every single human being on earth.
- 40
- 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,440
- Everything that we covet,
- 41
- 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,280
- everything that we fear not having,
- 42
- 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,120
- everything that we ultimately
- end up buying
- 43
- 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,160
- is because at the end of the day
- 44
- 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,560
- we long for love,
- 45
- 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,080
- we wish we had more time,
- 46
- 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,840
- and we fear death.
- 47
- 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,920
- Love.
- 48
- 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,240
- Time.
- 49
- 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,120
- Death.
- 50
- 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,080
- Let's begin there.
- 51
- 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,160
- How long did this one take?
- 52
- 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,160
- Five days.
- 53
- 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,680
- That's pretty impressive.
- 54
- 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,160
- - Maybe he came back too soon.
- - Are you kidding me?
- 55
- 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,400
- It's been six months
- of this zombie routine.
- 56
- 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:19,760
- We can't indulge this anymore.
- 57
- 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,240
- Especially because
- 58
- 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,280
- we're getting fired by danworth financial.
- 59
- 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,520
- - (Coughs)
- - Claire: What? You're kidding me.
- 60
- 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:27,680
- - No, whit, come on!
- - I'm sorry, what?
- 61
- 00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:29,280
- But I just talked to them yesterday.
- 62
- 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,120
- Whit: I know. Everybody's been doing
- their best to cover,
- 63
- 00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:33,760
- but that entire account
- is built on Howard's relationship.
- 64
- 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,920
- Half our billings are built
- on Howard's relationships.
- 65
- 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,120
- This is a disaster. This is a disaster.
- 66
- 00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:38,520
- No. Not yet.
- 67
- 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,200
- We have an offer from omnicom
- for $17 a share...
- 68
- 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,440
- - Oh, come on!
- - But they want an answer
- 69
- 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,960
- - by new year's.
- - Shh.
- 70
- 00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:45,880
- (Bell rings)
- 71
- 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,880
- (Whispering) Let's be honest,
- we're not worth $14 a share
- 72
- 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,320
- if my partner takes a sabbatical
- 73
- 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,200
- as the local domino champion
- of crazy town.
- 74
- 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,480
- That's a little harsh, whit.
- 75
- 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,520
- Whit: I'm sorry, but it's true.
- 76
- 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,040
- Simon, I am empowering you.
- Go make the deal with omnicom.
- 77
- 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,000
- I wish I could,
- but Howard controls the voting shares.
- 78
- 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,320
- I'll deal with the Howard part, okay?
- 79
- 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,680
- Just push the papers, Simon.
- 80
- 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:06,600
- (Festive music playing)
- 81
- 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,880
- Claire: I still don't understand
- why Howard got 60% of the voting shares
- 82
- 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,160
- and you only got 40.
- 83
- 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,600
- Because I needed cash to settle my divorce
- 84
- 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,730
- and Howard did me a huge favor
- and let me sell him some.
- 85
- 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,080
- So, if you never had an affair
- with some junior creative,
- 86
- 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,280
- we wouldn't be in this situation?
- 87
- 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,800
- Inaccurate and unfair to put it
- squarely on my shoulders.
- 88
- 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,400
- - Well, I'm just pointing out the facts.
- - (Bells tinkling)
- 89
- 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,240
- Oh, my god.
- Don't you just love that smell?
- 90
- 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,800
- Wait. Stop.
- 91
- 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,370
- Close your eyes.
- 92
- 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,000
- Breathe it in.
- 93
- 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,160
- Doesn't that remind you of your childhood?
- 94
- 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:43,920
- Claire, come here.
- 95
- 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,520
- Come on, I got to tell you something.
- 96
- 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:50,720
- What?
- 97
- 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,290
- I have been doing something
- about our situation
- 98
- 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,120
- that you need to know about.
- 99
- 00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:57,280
- What did you do?
- 100
- 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:58,770
- I hired someone.
- 101
- 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,000
- You hired someone?
- 102
- 00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:03,250
- Yes. Look, when Eloise caught me cheating,
- 103
- 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,960
- she used a private investigator
- named Sally price.
- 104
- 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,040
- She's this woman
- who looks like a mormon grandmother,
- 105
- 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,960
- and it makes her very good
- at the whole stealth thing.
- 106
- 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,360
- You hired the woman
- who caused your divorce?
- 107
- 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,560
- No. I caused my divorce.
- 108
- 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,160
- Sally price just documented it.
- 109
- 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,280
- Wow. That was actually enlightened.
- 110
- 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,000
- I have hidden depth. We've discussed this.
- 111
- 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,640
- So,
- 112
- 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,450
- why did you hire the mormon grandmother?
- 113
- 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,440
- Because we need to document
- what's going on with Howard.
- 114
- 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,400
- We need to show that
- he's not mentally fit to vote his shares.
- 115
- 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,160
- No. We're not really
- in that place where we're...
- 116
- 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,440
- We're actually gonna be the people
- who would do that to a friend?
- 117
- 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:42,760
- It's not that he won't sell,
- 118
- 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,320
- it's that he won't even
- have a conversation about selling.
- 119
- 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,130
- I try to talk to him, I try to reach him,
- 120
- 00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:52,760
- and it's like I'm not even
- in the same physical space with him.
- 121
- 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:53,880
- He's not there.
- 122
- 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,000
- His kid died.
- 123
- 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,520
- That was two years ago, Claire.
- 124
- 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,000
- What are we gonna...
- 125
- 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,080
- This is our lives at stake.
- 126
- 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,080
- We're not kids anymore.
- You look me in the face
- 127
- 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,360
- and tell me that you're willing to have
- everything you've worked for
- 128
- 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,640
- for the last 10 years just evaporate.
- 129
- 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,530
- Is this pi good?
- 130
- 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,480
- She caught me cheating.
- 131
- 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,120
- Oscar could have caught you cheating.
- 132
- 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,690
- Who the hell's Oscar?
- 133
- 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:20,840
- My son.
- 134
- 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,000
- Oh. (Stammering) That Oscar?
- 135
- 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,160
- This private investigator
- isn't gonna find anything
- 136
- 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,040
- that'll pass for moral turpitude.
- 137
- 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,880
- (Whispering) Not on Howard,
- 138
- 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,770
- but if she can raise concern
- regarding legal capacity,
- 139
- 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,080
- then we'll be in business.
- 140
- 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,680
- I do really think that
- we are out of other options.
- 141
- 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,680
- You know, he terrorized
- the grief counselor for six months.
- 142
- 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,560
- He totally blew off the ayahuasca shaman
- we flew in all the way from Peru.
- 143
- 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,400
- And our...
- Our intervention was a disaster.
- 144
- 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,840
- I just...
- 145
- 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,760
- Look, uh, this doesn't feel right.
- 146
- 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,810
- I know.
- 147
- 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,640
- But when something starts
- with a six-year-old dying,
- 148
- 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,480
- nothing is gonna feel right.
- 149
- 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:15,640
- (Chuckles)
- 150
- 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,600
- (Child laughing)
- 151
- 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,080
- (Gasps)
- 152
- 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,280
- (Sighing)
- 153
- 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,520
- (Horn honking)
- 154
- 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,240
- Sally: He writes letters.
- 155
- 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,240
- Claire: Letters? What kind of letters?
- 156
- 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,960
- Sally: This might be the strangest thing
- I have ever come across.
- 157
- 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,960
- - You got the letters?
- - Oh, yeah.
- 158
- 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,920
- Simon: Can we ask you how?
- 159
- 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,520
- Cost me $800
- 160
- 00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:33,760
- to get this cut.
- 161
- 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:34,920
- And just so you know,
- 162
- 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,280
- it's a federal offense
- to steal mail directly from a mailbox.
- 163
- 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,680
- - You could...
- - Yeah.
- 164
- 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,120
- - So, three letters.
- - Who are they to?
- 165
- 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,610
- - Oh, not who.
- - What do you mean?
- 166
- 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,320
- Howard doesn't write letters to people.
- 167
- 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:47,810
- He writes to things.
- 168
- 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,840
- - Whit: What kind of things?
- - Time.
- 169
- 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,040
- Love.
- 170
- 00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:54,600
- Death.
- 171
- 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,600
- The three abstractions.
- 172
- 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:57,920
- Claire: "Time",
- 173
- 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,360
- "they say you heal all wounds,"
- 174
- 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,440
- "but they don't talk about how you destroy"
- 175
- 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:03,880
- "all that's good in the world."
- 176
- 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,560
- "How you turn beauty into ash."
- 177
- 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,200
- "Well, you're nothing more
- than petrified wood to me."
- 178
- 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,600
- "You're a dead tissue
- that won't decompose."
- 179
- 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:14,760
- "You're nothing."
- 180
- 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,080
- That doesn't prove anything.
- We can't use that, right?
- 181
- 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,280
- No. I mean,
- kids write letters to Santa claus,
- 182
- 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,640
- it doesn't mean they're crazy.
- 183
- 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,080
- No. This is therapeutic.
- 184
- 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,520
- It's so sad.
- 185
- 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,600
- Yeah. Anything else?
- 186
- 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,240
- Usually after work,
- he goes to a small dog park in Brooklyn,
- 187
- 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,440
- even though he doesn't own a dog.
- 188
- 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,120
- Just sits there for hours.
- 189
- 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,760
- Does he write letters to the dogs?
- 190
- 00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:38,680
- Are you serious?
- 191
- 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,450
- Well, that would be
- like the home run, right?
- 192
- 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,090
- I mean, that's what we need.
- 193
- 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,120
- - Does he?
- - Not that I saw.
- 194
- 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,360
- - Okay. What else?
- - That's it, really.
- 195
- 00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:50,240
- Goes home to his apartment.
- Rarely leaves before morning.
- 196
- 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,680
- No Wi-Fi, cable, phone. Nothing.
- 197
- 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,970
- "You're a dead tissue
- that won't decompose."
- 198
- 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,960
- (Horns honking)
- 199
- 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,440
- (Siren wailing)
- 200
- 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:20,840
- Howard?
- 201
- 00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:23,330
- Hey, it's Claire.
- 202
- 00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:28,000
- I swung by that place down the street
- and got you some dinner.
- 203
- 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,840
- It's that shrimp thing you like.
- 204
- 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,840
- Okay, I'm gonna leave it right here,
- in case you haven't eaten.
- 205
- 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,680
- Hey, don't keep leaving the food there.
- 206
- 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:43,760
- He doesn't eat it.
- 207
- 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,680
- Oh, I'm... I'm sorry.
- 208
- 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,490
- And he's late on his rent again.
- 209
- 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,120
- He doesn't answer his door,
- and I don't have a working number for him.
- 210
- 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,560
- Yeah, he doesn't have a phone anymore.
- 211
- 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,520
- (Sighs) Um, how much does he owe?
- I'll write you a check.
- 212
- 00:12:57,680 --> 00:12:59,560
- Super: If that's what you want to do.
- 213
- 00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:02,690
- And, uh, if you're not doing anything
- with that shrimp...
- 214
- 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,050
- Broccoli rabe last week was delicious.
- 215
- 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,560
- (Horn honking)
- 216
- 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,840
- (Horn honking)
- 217
- 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,560
- (Festive music playing)
- 218
- 00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:07,560
- Here he is.
- 219
- 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,600
- Hey, where's your stuff?
- 220
- 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,080
- I wanted to text you,
- but mom said I had to call.
- 221
- 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,440
- Text me about what?
- 222
- 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,490
- But then Barry said
- I had to tell you in person.
- 223
- 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,760
- Are we taking life advice from Barry now?
- 224
- 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,450
- What are...
- What are you trying to tell me?
- 225
- 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,010
- I'm not coming to stay with you.
- 226
- 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,610
- I'm going with Barry and mom
- to the Bahamas.
- 227
- 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,320
- No, no. Wait, wait, wait.
- 228
- 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:29,880
- Hi.
- 229
- 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:32,520
- How you doing?
- 230
- 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,410
- Can I get, like, five minutes,
- maybe a couple feet
- 231
- 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,640
- just to have this conversation
- with my daughter?
- 232
- 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:42,800
- Thanks.
- 233
- 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,200
- Honey, I got...
- 234
- 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:46,400
- I got all kinds of stuff planned.
- 235
- 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:47,600
- I got a Christmas tree for us.
- 236
- 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:48,800
- Then sucks for you.
- 237
- 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:49,960
- I got us tickets to Hamilton.
- 238
- 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,530
- Then sucks for Hamilton.
- 239
- 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,040
- That's a tough ticket, Allison.
- 240
- 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:54,400
- I've already seen it.
- 241
- 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,560
- (Stammers) You did?
- You saw that with mom and Barry?
- 242
- 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,160
- And odell Beckham Jr.
- 243
- 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:00,850
- And odell Beckham?
- 244
- 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,570
- Yeah.
- 245
- 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,130
- He's one of Barry's friends.
- 246
- 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,320
- Why?
- 247
- 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,160
- Why don't you want to spend
- the holiday with me?
- 248
- 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,650
- I miss you.
- 249
- 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,480
- Because I hate you.
- 250
- 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,400
- Because you're a philanthropist.
- 251
- 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,760
- Because you broke mom's heart.
- 252
- 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,160
- - (Stammers) Philanderer.
- - Allison: What?
- 253
- 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,880
- The word you're looking for
- is philanderer, not philanthropist.
- 254
- 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,600
- They have a slightly different meaning.
- 255
- 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,400
- Well, you would know.
- 256
- 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,880
- Mmm-hmm.
- 257
- 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,200
- Look, I agreed to tell you in person,
- and now I have.
- 258
- 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:45,760
- Hey,
- 259
- 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,640
- have a good Christmas.
- 260
- 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,000
- (Elevator bell dings)
- 261
- 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:04,640
- Hold it.
- 262
- 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,560
- Hey.
- 263
- 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,010
- (Elevator button clicks)
- 264
- 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,640
- So, rapid fire round while I got you?
- 265
- 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,400
- Cavs are in town.
- 266
- 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,240
- Christmas showdown at the garden.
- 267
- 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,730
- I never give your seat away.
- 268
- 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,000
- I just go solo, but we could go.
- 269
- 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,640
- Don't even have to talk.
- Don't even have to look at each other.
- 270
- 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,880
- We can do just what we're doing right now
- and just watch the game.
- 271
- 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,450
- Be like old times.
- 272
- 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:36,560
- Right, number two.
- 273
- 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,690
- We're gonna lose the danworth account because
- that's always been your relationship.
- 274
- 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,160
- And they're not feeling the love,
- as you might imagine.
- 275
- 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,320
- So that's gonna happen.
- 276
- 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,600
- Whatever though,
- 277
- 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,120
- because we've got an offer
- from omnicom, and it's real.
- 278
- 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,890
- 17 bucks a share.
- 279
- 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,330
- Please consider it, because...
- 280
- 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:55,970
- Yeah, yeah.
- 281
- 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,440
- Because they leave total creative control
- and they let everybody keep their jobs,
- 282
- 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,170
- which I know you care about,
- because you love these people.
- 283
- 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:05,840
- Good talk.
- 284
- 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,600
- (Indistinct chattering)
- 285
- 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,090
- The Beijing boys are here.
- 286
- 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,160
- Oh, god. No one wants Chinese coffee.
- 287
- 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,360
- Well, we're selling it.
- 288
- 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,200
- The manchurian macchiato. Mmm.
- 289
- 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,000
- What are we casting?
- 290
- 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,880
- - Cruise line.
- - Now, see, that's good copy.
- 291
- 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,610
- "Shed your skin, find your life."
- 292
- 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,200
- Sorry, it's
- 293
- 00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:52,930
- "life is found when you shed your skin."
- 294
- 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,600
- - Does it really matter?
- - Yes, because I wrote it.
- 295
- 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,600
- Oh, well, my way's better.
- 296
- 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,170
- - Really? How?
- - Amy: Yeah.
- 297
- 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,840
- Well... wait, what is your way?
- 298
- 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,040
- Both: "Life is found
- when you shed your skin."
- 299
- 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,170
- Which, you know, kind of hits you here.
- 300
- 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,440
- "Shed your skin, find your life."
- 301
- 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:12,880
- Hits you here.
- 302
- 00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:15,440
- That does hit me here.
- 303
- 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,210
- Right?
- 304
- 00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:18,360
- You can have it for free.
- 305
- 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,320
- Just, wait. Wait.
- 306
- 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:21,680
- Wait.
- 307
- 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,200
- - Hey, frankel.
- - Yeah?
- 308
- 00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:28,080
- "Shed your skin, find your life."
- 309
- 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,320
- "Shed your skin, find your life."
- Everybody, okay?
- 310
- 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:31,480
- Got it.
- 311
- 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,960
- She made it better.
- 312
- 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,040
- Whit: Hey!
- 313
- 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:46,880
- (Elevator bell dings)
- 314
- 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,320
- No, no, no.
- 315
- 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:51,560
- Hey, hey!
- 316
- 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,400
- (Horn honking)
- 317
- 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,480
- - (Tires screeching)
- - (Horn honking)
- 318
- 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,160
- Brigitte: "And you talk to me
- in such tones"
- 319
- 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,970
- "as if it wasn't the breath in my lungs
- that gave you life."
- 320
- 00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:34,640
- - You're late.
- - Amy: Sorry.
- 321
- 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,760
- "As if it wasn't a spark in my mind"
- 322
- 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,600
- "that gave that life meaning."
- 323
- 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,920
- "Oh, you move your tongue,
- you mouth syllables,"
- 324
- 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,760
- "you echo sentiment."
- 325
- 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,160
- "But you do not breathe."
- 326
- 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:45,400
- "You speak of spark?"
- 327
- 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,000
- "That is richness."
- 328
- 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,360
- "For you deny the spark between us all."
- 329
- 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,410
- "A spark that is more a sun
- than the cold fire you claim."
- 330
- 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,810
- "And you have called me
- a temporary madness."
- 331
- 00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,200
- "A vicious soul."
- 332
- 00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:00,800
- "Well,"
- 333
- 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,930
- "then ask if you will see me
- just one more time."
- 334
- 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,120
- Hello?
- 335
- 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:08,800
- Hi.
- 336
- 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,080
- So sorry. I literally just wandered in,
- 337
- 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,970
- and I caught the tail end of that, and...
- 338
- 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,970
- Can I just say that was beautiful?
- 339
- 00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:19,160
- What is... what is it?
- 340
- 00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:20,800
- It's just something
- we're trying to put together.
- 341
- 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,120
- I just... I love theater. I see everything.
- 342
- 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:24,650
- So when's opening night? I'll be there.
- 343
- 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,240
- There is no opening night
- until we get this money together.
- 344
- 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,440
- - You rich?
- - Divorced.
- 345
- 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,600
- You followed me from the casting session.
- 346
- 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,680
- - Whit: Absolutely, I did. Yes.
- - Yeah.
- 347
- 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,160
- Whit: I almost lost you,
- but the red hat helped.
- 348
- 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,640
- Hey, um, I'm gonna say something
- a little impulsive here,
- 349
- 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:40,840
- maybe a little crazy,
- 350
- 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,570
- but, you know, uh, I have something
- about to happen for me.
- 351
- 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,080
- I'm in the middle of a deal
- that if it all comes together,
- 352
- 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:49,690
- I'd be in a position to help.
- 353
- 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,680
- Well, now wouldn't that be lovely?
- 354
- 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,320
- Whit: It would. Be great.
- 355
- 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,170
- And you, you know, you fixed it.
- 356
- 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,600
- So, we should get you back into casting
- if you want the gig. I mean...
- 357
- 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,250
- Sorry, I don't even...
- I don't know your name.
- 358
- 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,920
- - Amy.
- - Whit: Amy.
- 359
- 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,440
- Okay. Well,
- 360
- 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,760
- I'll be back, Amy. I'll be back.
- 361
- 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,240
- Mmm. And I'll be...
- 362
- 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,760
- Hmm. Sorry.
- 363
- 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,280
- (Chuckling) I was on the stage!
- 364
- 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,930
- I'll be back.
- 365
- 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,240
- You're good.
- 366
- 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,130
- Well done, you.
- 367
- 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,080
- (Dogs barking)
- 368
- 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,370
- (Indistinct police radio chatter on TV)
- 369
- 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,080
- Apartment next door is vacant,
- 370
- 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,520
- but the guy down the hall
- says he didn't hear anything.
- 371
- 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,120
- Ditto the manager.
- 372
- 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,560
- Wait, they have a CSI: Cleveland now?
- 373
- 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,480
- - Man: Neighborhood like this...
- - It's a new show.
- 374
- 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,050
- Minding their own business.
- 375
- 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,840
- Woman: What's a respectable
- neurosurgeon doing in a crack house?
- 376
- 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,120
- Man: I don't know.
- 377
- 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,930
- The werewolves,
- 378
- 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,920
- they're meeting out front
- 379
- 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,000
- all hours of the night.
- 380
- 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,570
- (Dogs barking)
- 381
- 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,600
- I heard them. Yeah.
- 382
- 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:16,760
- I think they're...
- 383
- 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,570
- I think they're voting
- on a new head of the syndicate.
- 384
- 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:20,880
- But.
- 385
- 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,450
- I got a raccoon friend.
- He's on the task force.
- 386
- 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,640
- He put a bug out there for me
- by the trash cans.
- 387
- 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,600
- We're gonna tape everything they say
- 388
- 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,120
- and we'll bust them on a rico statute.
- 389
- 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,120
- I don't know anything about that.
- 390
- 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,200
- Hey, I'm your son.
- 391
- 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,840
- (Chuckling) I know that!
- 392
- 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,120
- Good.
- 393
- 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,290
- I'll be right back.
- 394
- 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,480
- Okay, I have kind of a wild idea.
- 395
- 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:21,640
- And I know you're gonna laugh at me,
- 396
- 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,760
- but remember that we're desperate
- and hear me out.
- 397
- 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,770
- So, my mom hasn't been totally
- in her right mind since her stroke, right?
- 398
- 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,650
- And I'm always trying to remind her
- what's actually going on
- 399
- 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,240
- and correct the, sort of,
- daffy things that she says.
- 400
- 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,160
- And it upsets her,
- and it really stresses me out.
- 401
- 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,920
- And it was pretty much just awful
- for a while.
- 402
- 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,650
- And then, someone said something
- very, very wise to me.
- 403
- 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,760
- They said, "maybe you should stop
- trying to force your reality on her"
- 404
- 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,000
- "and just... just go into her reality."
- 405
- 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,000
- I thought you couldn't
- afford therapy anymore.
- 406
- 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,000
- - I can't. It was my uber driver.
- - Oh.
- 407
- 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,520
- And he was totally right. Totally right!
- 408
- 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,680
- As soon as I started doing this,
- everything got easier, you know?
- 409
- 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,840
- Our life is like
- this improvisational game.
- 410
- 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,440
- She just... she says wackadoodle stuff,
- and I respond to it.
- 411
- 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,040
- And, uh, she's totally happy
- and I kind of have fun.
- 412
- 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,440
- - And that made me think of something else.
- - Mmm.
- 413
- 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,360
- Okay.
- 414
- 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,200
- When I was at fbw,
- 415
- 00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:16,240
- I had this account
- for a psychostimulant drug, right?
- 416
- 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,360
- And they went with some
- bullshit generic campaign,
- 417
- 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,080
- - but I kept the hispanic market.
- - (Speaking Spanish)
- 418
- 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,360
- Here, watch this. Okay.
- 419
- 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,760
- So, the teacher is really stressing.
- He's saying, uh,
- 420
- 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,960
- "well, you talk all the time!
- You never listen!"
- 421
- 00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:27,920
- And then here comes the monster.
- 422
- 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,200
- "It doesn't have to be this way."
- 423
- 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,400
- Teacher, "who are you?"
- 424
- 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,000
- Monster, "I'm your anger, man."
- 425
- 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,200
- And the teacher says...
- 426
- 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,640
- "I can't stand you, man.
- You dominate my life."
- 427
- 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,610
- And anger says,
- "there's a solution, my friend."
- 428
- 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,560
- "Docotrin, say goodbye to your anger."
- 429
- 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,600
- Do you see where I'm going with this?
- 430
- 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,200
- - (Sighs) Not really.
- - Okay, okay. Look, look.
- 431
- 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,560
- We can't get Howard to deal with this
- reality that we need him to deal with.
- 432
- 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,440
- And he's writing letters to abstractions
- which makes no sense.
- 433
- 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,560
- But... but he's doing it.
- 434
- 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,960
- So, what if we just go into his reality
- 435
- 00:25:02,120 --> 00:25:04,770
- and we get those abstractions
- to answer him?
- 436
- 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,170
- I'm sorry, I... I don't follow.
- 437
- 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,960
- What if love, time and death
- show up in person
- 438
- 00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:14,440
- and answer the letters
- that Howard's been writing to them?
- 439
- 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,440
- How are time, love and death
- gonna show up?
- 440
- 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,600
- Actors.
- 441
- 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,160
- We hire actors to be love, death and time.
- 442
- 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,480
- They find Howard and they confront him.
- 443
- 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,650
- So, you want us to gaslight your boss?
- 444
- 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,200
- - Huh? I'm sorry?
- - Gas light.
- 445
- 00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:38,120
- You know? It was a play,
- then it was a movie.
- 446
- 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,000
- Gas light? Oh, my god.
- 447
- 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,960
- Does nobody ever watch anything
- longer than eight seconds anymore?
- 448
- 00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:47,640
- What she's saying is
- you want us to make him think he's crazy?
- 449
- 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,400
- No, no, no. It's not about
- making Howard think he's crazy.
- 450
- 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,480
- Howard's not in a good mental state,
- and we know that.
- 451
- 00:25:55,640 --> 00:26:00,880
- It's about underlining that fact
- so that other people can see it, too.
- 452
- 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:05,360
- Okay. So you want us to perform
- in this intervention,
- 453
- 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,600
- and for that
- you're gonna finance our play?
- 454
- 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:09,880
- - That's it.
- - Exactly.
- 455
- 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,040
- Yeah, we'll finance whatever...
- 456
- 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,720
- I mean, this looks
- like a storage facility, but...
- 457
- 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,360
- Okay. Well, actors. What do we think?
- 458
- 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,000
- - No. No, no, no.
- - Oh, no.
- 459
- 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,160
- Listen, listen!
- 460
- 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:21,680
- We take $15,000 each.
- 461
- 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,600
- - Okay? $15,000.
- - Amy: Are you completely out of your mind?
- 462
- 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,520
- Okay, we'll do it.
- 463
- 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,040
- $20,000, each.
- 464
- 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,520
- Uh-uh! I just... you guys just said 15.
- I heard you say 15.
- 465
- 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,000
- - Mmm... I like 20.
- - I like 20 as well.
- 466
- 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,240
- Well, 20's just...
- I don't know, it's a little steep.
- 467
- 00:26:36,360 --> 00:26:38,520
- I'm like... I was thinking two.
- These guys probably live in Brooklyn.
- 468
- 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,200
- - They pay 600 bucks a month.
- - Stop talking. Just stop.
- 469
- 00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:41,360
- You did a good job pulling them down.
- 470
- 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,240
- This is horrible.
- This is completely wrong.
- 471
- 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,120
- No, Amy. This is the work. This is acting.
- 472
- 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,520
- Did you not hear them say
- that this man's lost his child?
- 473
- 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,160
- Yes. And that's why he's reaching out
- to the cosmos for answers.
- 474
- 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,240
- Well, we get to be that cosmos.
- 475
- 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,530
- Okay, so you want us to manipulate
- this guy's pain so that, what?
- 476
- 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,560
- What, you cash out?
- You make a lot of money?
- 477
- 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,200
- - Simon: No!
- - No, no, no, no!
- 478
- 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,560
- That doesn't sound good
- when you put it that way.
- 479
- 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,040
- - It's a lot more complicated than that.
- - Is it?
- 480
- 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,240
- Claire: We love this man.
- 481
- 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,640
- And he's not just a boss, he's a friend.
- 482
- 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,480
- Howard is a brilliant,
- creative, charismatic guy
- 483
- 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:16,880
- who used to be fearless.
- 484
- 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,120
- He used to love life,
- and right now, he hates it.
- 485
- 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,080
- And you really think
- that this is gonna help him?
- 486
- 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:23,720
- Claire: He lost his child.
- 487
- 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,920
- And now he doesn't care
- if he loses everything else.
- 488
- 00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:29,440
- We just can't let that happen.
- 489
- 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,280
- We have to bring him back.
- 490
- 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,240
- $20,000's worth it.
- 491
- 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:35,520
- - (Stammering) I'll pay for it.
- - Claire!
- 492
- 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,920
- I'll pay for it. I'll pay for it myself.
- I don't care.
- 493
- 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,250
- So, what are the rules?
- 494
- 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,240
- Well, first, we'd have to sign
- a confidentiality agreement.
- 495
- 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,120
- And make sure
- that you don't talk about it, 'cause...
- 496
- 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,400
- No, I don't mean the legal rules.
- 497
- 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,400
- I mean, the rules
- of the theatrical device.
- 498
- 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,520
- I mean, do other people see us,
- or only Howard?
- 499
- 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,770
- - Yeah, do other people see them, whit?
- - Whit?
- 500
- 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,680
- I guess... I guess only Howard.
- 501
- 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,840
- That's the effect
- we're looking for, right?
- 502
- 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,490
- - Guess?
- - You guess? I mean...
- 503
- 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,290
- I'm sorry, have you thought this through?
- 504
- 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:06,800
- - Sure. Sure.
- - No.
- 505
- 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,040
- - I mean, to a degree.
- - No, we haven't.
- 506
- 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,560
- No, we haven't, whit. Shut up! Like...
- We haven't.
- 507
- 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,640
- For instance, what if they go into a bar
- and they want to order a drink?
- 508
- 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:14,880
- How can they do that if...
- 509
- 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,760
- Do you see Howard walking
- into a lot of bars these days?
- 510
- 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,200
- Whatever. Doesn't matter.
- 511
- 00:28:18,360 --> 00:28:19,880
- - I mean, what if Howard goes clubbing?
- - They're actors.
- 512
- 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,850
- - They need to know hypothetically.
- - Okay. Okay. Enough. Enough.
- 513
- 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,440
- We have the power to be seen
- by whomever we want, whenever we want.
- 514
- 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,320
- - How's that?
- - I like that, I like that.
- 515
- 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,000
- - I told you they were good.
- - I like that, yeah.
- 516
- 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,440
- We should just leave it to them.
- 517
- 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:32,560
- Let's move on.
- 518
- 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:33,720
- What's next?
- 519
- 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,800
- Well, Howard wrote three letters
- to love, death and time.
- 520
- 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,000
- So, I guess the only question is
- who plays who?
- 521
- 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,080
- Casting. Very important.
- 522
- 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:43,840
- Love.
- 523
- 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,610
- Death.
- 524
- 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:48,320
- Time.
- 525
- 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,640
- Great. When do we get paid?
- 526
- 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,160
- Brigitte: "Dear death,
- you travel with so much mythology",
- 527
- 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,360
- "cause so much pain, inspire such fear."
- 528
- 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,600
- "But you're a paper tiger to me."
- 529
- 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,880
- "You're just pathetic
- and powerless middle management."
- 530
- 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,650
- "You don't even have the authority
- to make a simple trade."
- 531
- 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,840
- As you can see,
- it's not exactly a fan letter.
- 532
- 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,200
- - Yeah, well, death doesn't have any fans.
- - (Coughing)
- 533
- 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,680
- I don't understand why,
- because it's a liberation.
- 534
- 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,720
- Hey, you okay?
- 535
- 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,250
- Mmm-mmm.
- 536
- 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,200
- Claire: He goes to work, and the dog park.
- 537
- 00:29:58,600 --> 00:29:59,880
- And that's it.
- 538
- 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,560
- Okay. So, here's how I'm gonna do it.
- 539
- 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,210
- I'm gonna come to him angry.
- 540
- 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,560
- Like, pissed off. Like, we got a problem.
- 541
- 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,040
- No, no, no. Don't do that.
- 542
- 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,240
- He's calling me wood and dead tissue.
- He's calling me out.
- 543
- 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:12,400
- How's he calling you out?
- 544
- 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:13,760
- Time.
- 545
- 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,840
- He's calling out time, and I'm time.
- 546
- 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,560
- Look, I don't want
- you antagonizing Howard.
- 547
- 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,080
- Do you get that?
- 548
- 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,240
- Amy: But the letter only consists
- of one word, "goodbye."
- 549
- 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:41,920
- Look.
- 550
- 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,080
- "Dear love, goodbye."
- 551
- 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,920
- What am I even supposed to say to him?
- 552
- 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,280
- Um, it's...
- 553
- 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:51,880
- It's a letter to love
- saying goodbye, right?
- 554
- 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:53,720
- - Yeah.
- - So, what if you approach him,
- 555
- 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,400
- and you refuse to accept that?
- 556
- 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,840
- You say he can't
- get rid of you that easily.
- 557
- 00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,240
- Tell him that
- 558
- 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,240
- we don't get to choose who we love
- and who loves us back.
- 559
- 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,960
- Tell him that you're within him,
- 560
- 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,040
- you're within everything,
- whether he likes it or not.
- 561
- 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,280
- And if he accepts that,
- 562
- 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,160
- then maybe... I don't know.
- 563
- 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,920
- Maybe he gets to find his life again.
- 564
- 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:57,760
- (Dog yipping)
- 565
- 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,680
- They grieve.
- 566
- 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,090
- Dogs.
- 567
- 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,480
- They grieve,
- and they fully understand death.
- 568
- 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,760
- You called me a paper tiger.
- 569
- 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,280
- In the letter you wrote me.
- 570
- 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,010
- You said I was pathetic.
- 571
- 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:34,880
- Mmm.
- 572
- 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,320
- You don't remember?
- 573
- 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,720
- You went on about middle management,
- 574
- 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,000
- making a deal, paper tiger.
- 575
- 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,160
- Oh, Howard, it wasn't that long ago.
- 576
- 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,480
- Where did you get that?
- 577
- 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,320
- - Who are you?
- - Who did you write the letter to?
- 578
- 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:55,690
- (Chuckles)
- 579
- 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,170
- I wrote the letter to death.
- 580
- 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,050
- Nice to meet you. Charmed, I'm sure.
- 581
- 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:06,320
- No.
- 582
- 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:08,240
- I know, I know.
- 583
- 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,560
- People write letters
- to the universe all the time.
- 584
- 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,560
- Most don't get a personal response.
- 585
- 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,080
- But you are, because I just wanted
- to tell you that you're wrong.
- 586
- 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,040
- I'm not some powerless middle management
- 587
- 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:19,530
- - just following orders.
- - Miss...
- 588
- 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,080
- You see, I didn't want to make
- the trade. It was my call.
- 589
- 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,240
- I don't want this. I don't want this.
- 590
- 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,040
- Now, I don't tell you how to do your job.
- 591
- 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,120
- So, I'd appreciate it
- if you didn't tell me how to do mine.
- 592
- 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,640
- Who's that man talking to?
- He looks kind of weird.
- 593
- 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,960
- Don't worry about that.
- Sometimes people are silly.
- 594
- 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,720
- You see, they don't see me
- till it's their time.
- 595
- 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,000
- Oh, it's okay, Howard.
- It's not your time yet.
- 596
- 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,720
- I just wanted to return this
- 597
- 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,600
- and clear things up between us.
- 598
- 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,050
- - I really am death, Howard!
- - (Dog yipping)
- 599
- 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:58,440
- He believed me.
- 600
- 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,240
- I'm telling you he believed me.
- 601
- 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,840
- - That's amazing.
- - I mean, that was spectacular.
- 602
- 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,440
- Because there was no safety net, you see.
- 603
- 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,040
- That... that... that was grotowski.
- 604
- 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,640
- - That was pure Stella adler!
- - Ah!
- 605
- 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,800
- - Thank you. Thank you for the opportunity.
- - Yes.
- 606
- 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:11,880
- - You are a kind man.
- - Oh, not a problem.
- 607
- 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,720
- - He believed me, I'm telling you.
- - I wouldn't go that far.
- 608
- 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,960
- But he needed it.
- I could tell. I could tell in his eyes.
- 609
- 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,280
- Who was that woman and that little boy?
- That was incredible.
- 610
- 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,440
- Oh, that was our private investigator
- and her grandson.
- 611
- 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,760
- Oh, really?
- And did she say anything about me?
- 612
- 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,800
- She said you were good.
- She said really good.
- 613
- 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,160
- "Good"? What do you mean? Good like...
- 614
- 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,440
- You mean good like cabbage is good,
- or what?
- 615
- 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,640
- No, no. She... (Stammers) Great.
- 616
- 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,320
- She said, she said,
- "she made the impossible possible."
- 617
- 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,840
- - (Chuckles) I should be paying you.
- - (Both laugh)
- 618
- 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,480
- They told me that Trevor had
- packed his little suitcase,
- 619
- 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,840
- that he said he was going home.
- 620
- 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,170
- I was furious.
- 621
- 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,840
- But he was sleeping,
- so I couldn't talk to him.
- 622
- 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:57,640
- I mean, what nurse promises
- this dying five-year-old little boy
- 623
- 00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,450
- he could go home?
- 624
- 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,840
- He barely had any white blood cells left.
- 625
- 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,330
- He was so fragile.
- 626
- 00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:08,640
- And who could be so cruel?
- 627
- 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:10,930
- Who could do that?
- 628
- 00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:13,920
- So, of course I'm frantic.
- 629
- 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:18,480
- I am shouting at the staff,
- trying to get to the bottom of it.
- 630
- 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,400
- Well, Trevor finally wakes up
- 631
- 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,760
- and I go to him.
- 632
- 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:31,040
- You know, his little blue suitcase
- was still at the edge of the bed, right.
- 633
- 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,570
- So, I look at him and ask,
- 634
- 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,680
- "who said that to you, sweetie?"
- 635
- 00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:41,400
- "Who said that you could
- come back to our house?"
- 636
- 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,680
- You know what he says?
- 637
- 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:46,880
- "Nobody, mommy."
- 638
- 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,960
- "I'm not going back to our house."
- 639
- 00:35:51,720 --> 00:35:53,240
- "I'm going home."
- 640
- 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,440
- He died four hours later.
- 641
- 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,080
- (Door opens)
- 642
- 00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:09,400
- (Woman sobs)
- 643
- 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:19,850
- Hello.
- 644
- 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,320
- Hi.
- 645
- 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,440
- Are you looking
- for smallest wings support group?
- 646
- 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:27,920
- Um...
- 647
- 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,850
- - Yes.
- - And you are?
- 648
- 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,090
- - Um, Howard.
- - Howard.
- 649
- 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,520
- Come on in. Have a seat.
- 650
- 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,960
- Did you lose a child, Howard?
- 651
- 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:56,970
- Yeah.
- 652
- 00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:58,640
- - Madeline: Boy or girl?
- - Uh...
- 653
- 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:00,120
- A girl.
- 654
- 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,490
- And what was her name?
- 655
- 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,680
- No, it's okay. Howard.
- 656
- 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,640
- You don't have to answer.
- 657
- 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,290
- You don't even have to talk, okay?
- 658
- 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,600
- You stick around?
- 659
- 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,320
- Please?
- 660
- 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:31,280
- Okay.
- 661
- 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,010
- Thank you so much for sharing.
- 662
- 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:34,560
- We really appreciate it.
- 663
- 00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:35,720
- Thank you.
- 664
- 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,000
- Does anybody have anything else
- they'd like to say?
- 665
- 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,520
- - So, why'd you decide to come in tonight?
- - Hmm?
- 666
- 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,360
- Yeah, I've... I've seen you outside.
- 667
- 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,360
- I was gonna come out one night
- and invite you in,
- 668
- 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,480
- but I guess I didn't want
- to blow up your spot.
- 669
- 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,040
- - Blow up my spot?
- - (Chuckles softly)
- 670
- 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,200
- - Yeah.
- - You didn't want to mess up my jam?
- 671
- 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,240
- (Chuckles)
- 672
- 00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:16,160
- Exactly.
- 673
- 00:38:17,720 --> 00:38:18,880
- What's your name?
- 674
- 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:22,600
- I'm Madeline.
- 675
- 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:24,770
- Nice to meet you.
- 676
- 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,040
- My daughter's name was Olivia.
- 677
- 00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:31,760
- She died of a rare form of brain cancer
- known as glioblastoma multiforme,
- 678
- 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,250
- or gbm for short.
- 679
- 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,160
- She was six years old.
- 680
- 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:38,920
- What was your daughter's name, Howard?
- 681
- 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,410
- Okay.
- 682
- 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,560
- Fine. Don't answer.
- I'm not gonna torture you.
- 683
- 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,120
- Thank you.
- 684
- 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,800
- - Was it the holidays?
- - Mmm?
- 685
- 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,880
- Why you decided to come in tonight.
- 686
- 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,850
- We get a lot of first-timers
- during the holidays.
- 687
- 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,400
- - No, that's not it.
- - Then why tonight?
- 688
- 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,920
- Uh, I guess...
- 689
- 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:08,480
- I'm, uh...
- 690
- 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,920
- I'm trying to fix my mind.
- 691
- 00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:16,880
- You lost a child, Howard.
- 692
- 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,480
- It'll never be fixed.
- 693
- 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:26,960
- I hope you come back.
- 694
- 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:14,480
- Hey.
- 695
- 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,920
- Signed contracts
- and confidentiality agreements.
- 696
- 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,360
- - Oh, great. Thank you.
- - So, did he say something?
- 697
- 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:20,840
- Who, Howard?
- 698
- 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,760
- - No. Unfortunately, he didn't.
- - Oh, he believed it, I'm telling you.
- 699
- 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,490
- - Oh, that's good.
- - Maybe you should send me in again.
- 700
- 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,680
- Not raffi. Raffi's too impetuous.
- 701
- 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,680
- And Amy, she's just so emotional.
- 702
- 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,520
- After me, what is there?
- 703
- 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,120
- Well, he did write three letters.
- 704
- 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,280
- But death is so much more vital than time.
- 705
- 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,960
- - Right.
- - Death gives time all of its value.
- 706
- 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,890
- Maybe... maybe I should
- play all the parts.
- 707
- 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,680
- You know the highest margin demographic
- is new parents now?
- 708
- 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,330
- Target actually invented an algorithm
- 709
- 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,440
- to predict when their female customers
- were gonna get pregnant.
- 710
- 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,880
- You said before that you weren't okay.
- 711
- 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:52,530
- Are you sick?
- 712
- 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,200
- I'm sick.
- 713
- 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,720
- You could say, uh, I'm very sick.
- 714
- 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,210
- You're dying?
- 715
- 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,210
- Everyone's dying.
- 716
- 00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:16,200
- Yeah, but you're doing it now.
- 717
- 00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:21,080
- Simon. Simon.
- 718
- 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,880
- Come on, tell me. Tell me.
- What is it? What's wrong?
- 719
- 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:27,760
- What's wrong?
- 720
- 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,240
- What's wrong is that
- I came out of remission
- 721
- 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:31,920
- two weeks before my son was born.
- 722
- 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:33,800
- What's wrong
- 723
- 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,520
- is that I'm running a marathon every day
- pretending to be healthy.
- 724
- 00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:38,960
- That's what's wrong.
- 725
- 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,320
- Have you told anyone?
- 726
- 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:46,560
- You haven't?
- 727
- 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,800
- No, just some pushy actress
- that I don't really know.
- 728
- 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,440
- What is it?
- 729
- 00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,160
- It's multiple myeloma.
- 730
- 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,720
- I fought it when I was 16,
- and then again when I was 25.
- 731
- 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,200
- It just never went away.
- 732
- 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,960
- Instead it regrouped and got stronger.
- 733
- 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,200
- So, the war's over?
- 734
- 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,400
- Yeah, war's over.
- 735
- 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,880
- Are your affairs in order?
- 736
- 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:26,920
- My affairs are not in order.
- 737
- 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,480
- That's why I hired you.
- 738
- 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,640
- It's bad enough that
- I'm leaving my family.
- 739
- 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,760
- I'm not gonna leave them penniless.
- 740
- 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:37,810
- He believed me.
- 741
- 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:39,680
- Howard.
- 742
- 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,160
- He believed me.
- 743
- 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,610
- Howard: Hey. Excuse me.
- No, don't touch that.
- 744
- 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,320
- I don't understand dominoes.
- 745
- 00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,840
- There's no board to play them on,
- or basket to throw them into.
- 746
- 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,360
- Right. Um...
- 747
- 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,120
- I think you might be in the wrong place.
- 748
- 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,000
- No, I'm in the right place, Howard.
- 749
- 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,480
- Mmm. Yeah.
- 750
- 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,560
- "Time, they say you heal all wounds,"
- 751
- 00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:18,920
- "but they don't talk about how you destroy
- all that's good in the world."
- 752
- 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,600
- "How you turn beauty into ash."
- 753
- 00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,480
- Now that's some bullshit, Howard.
- 754
- 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,240
- If love is creation
- and death is destruction,
- 755
- 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,320
- I'm just a terrain in between.
- 756
- 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,200
- You don't understand time.
- No one understands time.
- 757
- 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,170
- I mean, Einstein came close
- when he said I was an illusion.
- 758
- 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:39,520
- Claire: Howard? Hey. Uh...
- 759
- 00:43:39,720 --> 00:43:40,880
- Listen, I'm sure it's a "no"
- 760
- 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,040
- but oneida apparel asked that
- you be in the media buy meeting.
- 761
- 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:46,920
- I'm sorry to just barge in.
- 762
- 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:49,800
- Ask her.
- 763
- 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,720
- Go ahead. Ask her if she can see me.
- 764
- 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:04,320
- I'm not gonna be in the meeting.
- 765
- 00:44:05,720 --> 00:44:07,400
- Mmm-hmm.
- 766
- 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:08,760
- Well, they insisted I ask.
- 767
- 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:10,490
- I mean, they're probably
- gonna fire us, so...
- 768
- 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:11,680
- Okay.
- 769
- 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,000
- - Awesome.
- - Yes.
- 770
- 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:14,200
- Okay.
- 771
- 00:44:15,240 --> 00:44:16,570
- See you later.
- 772
- 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,240
- Raffi: You can have this back, Howard.
- 773
- 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,240
- Why did you write me anyway?
- 774
- 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:24,920
- You wrote me because you need me.
- 775
- 00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:26,410
- No. Um...
- 776
- 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,400
- I don't need anything from you, okay?
- 777
- 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,640
- You all like to bitch and complain.
- 778
- 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,640
- "There isn't enough time."
- 779
- 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,680
- "Life is short."
- 780
- 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:36,920
- "Oh, here, the gray hairs are coming in."
- 781
- 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:38,920
- You know, a day is long as hell.
- 782
- 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,970
- I'm abundant. I'm a gift.
- 783
- 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,320
- Even while you're
- standing here talking shit,
- 784
- 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,920
- I'm gifting you, and you're wasting it.
- 785
- 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:48,120
- On what?
- 786
- 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,960
- I mean, what is this? Huh?
- 787
- 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,290
- Hey, hey!
- 788
- 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:54,640
- You know,
- 789
- 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,280
- I should be the one
- that's writing angry letters.
- 790
- 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,920
- That was the worst thing I've ever done.
- 791
- 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,080
- That was the best thing I've ever done.
- 792
- 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,080
- What was that thing you said
- about Einstein in there?
- 793
- 00:45:13,240 --> 00:45:16,640
- Einstein called time
- a stubbornly persistent illusion.
- 794
- 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:19,250
- What's that even mean?
- 795
- 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,680
- Time doesn't go from January to December,
- 796
- 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,490
- or from noon to midnight.
- 797
- 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,920
- You know, we all just make it that way
- in our heads.
- 798
- 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:27,800
- That's absurd.
- 799
- 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,770
- Try telling that to a person
- who's an hour late to a wedding
- 800
- 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,720
- or was just sentenced to 20 years in jail.
- (Scoffs)
- 801
- 00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:36,360
- Or someone fighting a baby clock.
- 802
- 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:42,000
- We really don't need
- to have this conversation, ever.
- 803
- 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,320
- Anyway, just...
- 804
- 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,130
- Yeah, wanted to say great job today.
- 805
- 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,160
- Just a stubborn illusion, Claire.
- 806
- 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,000
- You have all the time in the world.
- 807
- 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:54,970
- You're nine!
- 808
- 00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:57,850
- "You're nine."
- 809
- 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:15,480
- Hi.
- 810
- 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,440
- I'm sorry.
- 811
- 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,760
- I'm so sorry.
- 812
- 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:26,640
- Um...
- 813
- 00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,960
- You gotta be friggin' kidding me.
- 814
- 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:32,480
- I'm eating.
- 815
- 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:35,880
- You said goodbye, and that...
- 816
- 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:40,410
- (Sighs) We don't get to choose
- who we love or who loves us back.
- 817
- 00:46:41,240 --> 00:46:43,400
- And that means you're powerless to me
- as long as you're alive
- 818
- 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,320
- because I'm the fabric of life.
- 819
- 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,080
- I'm within you. I'm within everything.
- 820
- 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:49,840
- Howard,
- 821
- 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,240
- if you can accept that, then maybe...
- 822
- 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,120
- I don't know,
- but maybe you get to live again.
- 823
- 00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,520
- I completely screwed it up.
- 824
- 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:18,490
- I was weepy and apologetic.
- 825
- 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,480
- Well, I think love can be
- weepy and apologetic.
- 826
- 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:21,880
- I think I was better at the end.
- 827
- 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,640
- Hey, hey. I'm sure you were great.
- 828
- 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:26,410
- You're sweet.
- 829
- 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:27,600
- Can I kiss you?
- 830
- 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:29,410
- You don't have to sexualize it.
- 831
- 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,040
- I can kiss you without sexualizing it.
- 832
- 00:47:32,240 --> 00:47:34,480
- Seriously, I've had sex
- without sexualizing it.
- 833
- 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,440
- You should take "sweet," whit.
- 834
- 00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:38,200
- It's a promotion.
- 835
- 00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,360
- "Irresistible" would be a promotion.
- 836
- 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:43,320
- He believes it.
- 837
- 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:44,840
- How could you tell?
- 838
- 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:47,770
- I could tell by his eyes.
- 839
- 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,920
- That's great, but no one else has seen it
- 840
- 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,040
- and that's ultimately
- what we need to have happen.
- 841
- 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,280
- We think if you would engage with him
- 842
- 00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,280
- - one more time, um, in public.
- - Great. Mmm-hmm.
- 843
- 00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,120
- Whit: But this time try to...
- 844
- 00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,800
- Simon: But you need to provoke
- a strong visible reaction.
- 845
- 00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:04,960
- Why?
- 846
- 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,130
- Because our private investigator's
- gonna capture it on video.
- 847
- 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:09,320
- And we're gonna use it as evidence.
- 848
- 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:10,720
- It'll be like being in a movie.
- 849
- 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,200
- Except you'll be digitally removed.
- 850
- 00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:14,920
- No.
- 851
- 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:16,320
- Sorry?
- 852
- 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:17,640
- This is too intense.
- 853
- 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,280
- Um, I'm sorry. I can't be a part of this.
- 854
- 00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,320
- Amy, there is no "too intense" in acting.
- 855
- 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,560
- Do you wanna be loved
- or do you wanna make an impact?
- 856
- 00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:28,160
- I mean, this isn't noël coward.
- 857
- 00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:29,760
- This is... this is Chekhov.
- 858
- 00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,160
- This is horrible!
- 859
- 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,450
- The... you know,
- 860
- 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,800
- you did start the agency
- with him, didn't you, whit?
- 861
- 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:39,400
- And, Claire, he was your mentor.
- 862
- 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,280
- And, Simon, he gave you part
- ownership in a business
- 863
- 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,080
- when he absolutely didn't have to.
- 864
- 00:48:44,240 --> 00:48:45,680
- - I may have told her a few things...
- - Mmm-hmm.
- 865
- 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,200
- - When we were...
- - Mmm-hmm.
- 866
- 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:48,680
- Amy: I'm sorry, this is horrible.
- 867
- 00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,840
- I... I can't...
- No, I can't be a part of this. Thank you.
- 868
- 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,040
- - Sorry. Thanks.
- - Amy, no.
- 869
- 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:53,200
- Amy.
- 870
- 00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:54,360
- Amy. No.
- 871
- 00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:55,880
- Oh, she's so passionate, you know.
- 872
- 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:57,000
- Amy!
- 873
- 00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,120
- I'm so sorry. She will be back.
- 874
- 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,280
- But if she isn't, um,
- 875
- 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,520
- I'll step in. I do know all about love.
- 876
- 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:07,200
- Amy!
- 877
- 00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:14,960
- What'd I miss?
- 878
- 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,560
- People crying because their kids died.
- 879
- 00:49:19,720 --> 00:49:21,760
- Hmm. Uh...
- 880
- 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:27,050
- Uh, there's a thing called
- bereavement hallucinations.
- 881
- 00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:28,360
- Yes.
- 882
- 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:29,760
- Right. Um. Okay.
- 883
- 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,360
- So, uh...
- 884
- 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:34,130
- I looked them up.
- 885
- 00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,800
- And here's the thing. I don't sleep.
- 886
- 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,000
- Okay.
- 887
- 00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,080
- (Stammering) Like, not a lot.
- 888
- 00:49:40,240 --> 00:49:41,730
- I mean, I sleep.
- 889
- 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:43,560
- Mmm.
- 890
- 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:48,720
- But I get six or seven hours a week.
- 891
- 00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:51,200
- Now that I think about it,
- that's probably why...
- 892
- 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:52,360
- Why what?
- 893
- 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,200
- Um...
- 894
- 00:49:55,240 --> 00:49:56,520
- (Sighs)
- 895
- 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,080
- I'm having conversations.
- 896
- 00:50:03,240 --> 00:50:04,570
- Mmm-hmm.
- 897
- 00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,170
- I mean, conversations.
- 898
- 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:12,250
- Okay.
- 899
- 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,850
- It's okay. Never mind. Um...
- 900
- 00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,280
- - Howard?
- - Yeah.
- 901
- 00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:22,960
- You wanna have a conversation with me?
- 902
- 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,050
- Uh, yes.
- 903
- 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,600
- So, I assume you're a part of the 79%?
- 904
- 00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:33,960
- Mmm?
- 905
- 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:38,040
- Of couples who get divorced
- after losing a child.
- 906
- 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,000
- Yeah.
- 907
- 00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:41,240
- Mmm.
- 908
- 00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:42,800
- Yeah, me too.
- 909
- 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:46,970
- Do you still love her?
- 910
- 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,120
- I don't even know what love is anymore.
- 911
- 00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,120
- Do you still love him?
- 912
- 00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,040
- We never fell out of love.
- 913
- 00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,160
- At least, I don't think so. It's just...
- 914
- 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:02,440
- We can...
- 915
- 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:04,360
- (Sighs)
- 916
- 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:12,640
- The day our divorce was final,
- he sent me this.
- 917
- 00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,920
- "If only we could be strangers again."
- 918
- 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:23,760
- Now we are.
- 919
- 00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,720
- The most romantic gesture he ever made.
- 920
- 00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,240
- So, to answer your question,
- 921
- 00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:32,920
- yes,
- 922
- 00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:34,520
- I still love him.
- 923
- 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:46,490
- What did you mean when you said
- you were having conversations?
- 924
- 00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:47,640
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 925
- 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:49,760
- - Conversations with who?
- - Um...
- 926
- 00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:51,960
- It's not "who."
- 927
- 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:53,360
- It's really... it's...
- 928
- 00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,520
- You're gonna think I'm crazy.
- 929
- 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:56,680
- Try me.
- 930
- 00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,000
- Um, can I show you?
- 931
- 00:51:59,720 --> 00:52:03,360
- Madeline: "Dead tissue
- that won't decompose."
- 932
- 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,480
- He was sitting right here.
- 933
- 00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:11,040
- Just a mean, little, arrogant thug.
- 934
- 00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,680
- And he was the first one
- that appeared, right?
- 935
- 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,040
- Uh, no. Death came first.
- 936
- 00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,960
- She met me in the dog park.
- 937
- 00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:22,480
- Oh, so death is a "her"?
- 938
- 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:27,120
- Uh, yeah. It turns out
- death is an elderly white woman.
- 939
- 00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:30,400
- What was the trade?
- 940
- 00:52:31,240 --> 00:52:33,760
- You said death wouldn't make the trade.
- 941
- 00:52:34,240 --> 00:52:35,240
- What does that mean?
- 942
- 00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,200
- When we realized our...
- 943
- 00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,850
- My daughter was dying, I prayed, uh...
- 944
- 00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:47,050
- Not to god or the universe, but to death.
- 945
- 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:48,920
- I offered a trade.
- 946
- 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:50,760
- Take me,
- 947
- 00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:52,600
- leave my daughter.
- 948
- 00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:59,080
- But she didn't wanna make the trade, so...
- 949
- 00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:19,280
- Brigitte: So, who won that round?
- 950
- 00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,360
- You or the porcelain?
- 951
- 00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,440
- (Chuckles) Porcelain.
- Porcelain's undefeated.
- 952
- 00:53:27,240 --> 00:53:29,760
- I'm sorry about that,
- I thought everyone left.
- 953
- 00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,120
- Yes, they did. But I'm here to close up.
- 954
- 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:33,320
- Simon: Good.
- 955
- 00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:34,600
- You need help getting home?
- 956
- 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,480
- No. I'm fine.
- 957
- 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:38,600
- I'm... I'm good.
- 958
- 00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:41,400
- I googled you.
- 959
- 00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:42,600
- - You did?
- - Yeah.
- 960
- 00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:43,760
- (Whispers) Oh, god.
- 961
- 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:45,800
- You came from nothing.
- 962
- 00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:48,640
- You put yourself through Duke,
- 963
- 00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,160
- you married a wonderful woman,
- 964
- 00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:52,600
- you're a loving father.
- 965
- 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,000
- So, you lived well. You lived right.
- 966
- 00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,480
- But, my friend, you're not dying right.
- 967
- 00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:02,800
- (Breathing heavily)
- 968
- 00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:04,650
- Are you gonna tell me how to die?
- 969
- 00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:06,360
- Have you told your family yet?
- 970
- 00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,680
- - Mmm-mmm.
- - You're not helping them.
- 971
- 00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,760
- You're just denying them
- what is rightfully theirs.
- 972
- 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:15,250
- Yeah? And what's that?
- 973
- 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,920
- Pain? Atrophy? Disease?
- 974
- 00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:19,520
- Yes. Yes.
- 975
- 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,170
- All of it.
- 976
- 00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,000
- And the chance to say goodbye.
- 977
- 00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:28,680
- Stick to acting.
- 978
- 00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:37,760
- Madeline: Okay.
- 979
- 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,640
- I have something
- that I haven't told anyone.
- 980
- 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,680
- It doesn't involve letters
- or angels or anything like that,
- 981
- 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:47,160
- but it means something to me.
- 982
- 00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:56,240
- They were preparing Olivia to say goodbye.
- 983
- 00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:01,240
- And my husband was trying to
- calm my mother in the parking lot
- 984
- 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,240
- because she lost it.
- 985
- 00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:06,840
- So I was alone
- 986
- 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,680
- and I was sitting there
- in the waiting room
- 987
- 00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:12,800
- at Maimonides hospital.
- 988
- 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,880
- And there was this woman
- who sat next to me.
- 989
- 00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,800
- And she asked me who I was about to lose.
- 990
- 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:23,760
- And I told her.
- 991
- 00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,400
- And she looked at me and she said,
- 992
- 00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,920
- "just be sure to notice"
- 993
- 00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,240
- "the collateral beauty."
- 994
- 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:38,040
- I mean, she...
- 995
- 00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,080
- She said it so casually.
- 996
- 00:55:43,240 --> 00:55:45,000
- In the next room,
- 997
- 00:55:45,720 --> 00:55:49,240
- my six-year-old daughter
- was being taken off life support.
- 998
- 00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,880
- And this woman says "collateral beauty."
- 999
- 00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:59,520
- People don't know
- what to say in those moments.
- 1000
- 00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,440
- No, she did.
- 1001
- 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,160
- I just didn't get it at the time.
- 1002
- 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:09,000
- See, it wasn't said out of
- sympathy or awkwardness.
- 1003
- 00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,520
- It was from experience.
- 1004
- 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:16,320
- About a year later,
- 1005
- 00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,960
- something started to
- happen to me, you know.
- 1006
- 00:56:20,240 --> 00:56:23,000
- I would be walking
- or on the subway, whatever,
- 1007
- 00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,730
- and I would just burst into tears.
- 1008
- 00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,610
- But these weren't Olivia tears.
- 1009
- 00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,730
- These were tears born from something else,
- 1010
- 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:41,130
- from this kind of profound
- connection to everything.
- 1011
- 00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:44,520
- And I realized
- 1012
- 00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:49,280
- it was the collateral beauty.
- 1013
- 00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:53,840
- I mean, there's...
- 1014
- 00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:58,160
- There's no such thing
- as collateral beauty.
- 1015
- 00:56:58,320 --> 00:56:59,970
- There is, Howard.
- 1016
- 00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:02,690
- There really is.
- 1017
- 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:06,680
- It'll never bring her back.
- 1018
- 00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:12,680
- And it will never ever make it okay.
- 1019
- 00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:18,930
- But I promise you, it's there.
- 1020
- 00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,040
- Okay.
- 1021
- 00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,000
- You need to talk to them, Howard.
- 1022
- 00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:32,360
- Look, um...
- 1023
- 00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:34,320
- Appreciate your story,
- 1024
- 00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,370
- but I'm not really feeling
- the "collateral beauty" thing.
- 1025
- 00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:38,850
- I don't care!
- 1026
- 00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:43,000
- Yell at them,
- reason with them, challenge them.
- 1027
- 00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,000
- Just engage!
- 1028
- 00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:48,200
- (Sighs)
- 1029
- 00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:58,880
- I think this was a mistake.
- 1030
- 00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:16,080
- - Hi.
- - Whit: Hi.
- 1031
- 00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,120
- What're you doing here?
- 1032
- 00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,170
- Uh, brigitte told me this is
- where I could find you.
- 1033
- 00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:22,560
- Of course she did.
- 1034
- 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,600
- Could we just go and talk somewhere
- for 15 minutes by ourselves?
- 1035
- 00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:28,880
- I'm... I'm actually working.
- I'm rehearsing right now.
- 1036
- 00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:30,640
- - You're rehearsing here, too?
- - Yeah.
- 1037
- 00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:32,720
- How many projects
- are you doing at the same time?
- 1038
- 00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:34,520
- I'm currently doing three.
- 1039
- 00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:35,720
- Three. Wow.
- 1040
- 00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:37,040
- - Yeah.
- - That's really busy.
- 1041
- 00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:38,720
- How are we gonna fit a dinner date in?
- 1042
- 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:39,760
- Whit...
- 1043
- 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,120
- Listen, listen, listen. Seriously...
- 1044
- 00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:47,200
- I have to ask you
- to reconsider what you said last night.
- 1045
- 00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,160
- (Stammers) We need you one more time.
- 1046
- 00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:51,650
- Just give us one more scene.
- 1047
- 00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:53,490
- I am out.
- 1048
- 00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:54,640
- Amy, what do you...
- 1049
- 00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:56,280
- Wait, what can I say? What do you...
- 1050
- 00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,160
- I'll give you $100,000. Not 20, 100.
- 1051
- 00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:00,920
- You don't have $100,000.
- 1052
- 00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:02,520
- You're right. I live with my mother.
- 1053
- 00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,360
- But this is gonna work, and when it does,
- I'll have much, much more.
- 1054
- 00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:06,640
- And I'll give you a million.
- 1055
- 00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,400
- - I don't want your money.
- - I really will.
- 1056
- 00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:09,480
- I do not want your money.
- 1057
- 00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,640
- Do you know,
- I've actually never wanted your money.
- 1058
- 00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,730
- What can I say to get you to do this?
- 1059
- 00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,800
- Because there's so much more
- at stake here, you have no idea.
- 1060
- 00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:19,280
- Oh.
- 1061
- 00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:21,600
- You have a daughter, right?
- 1062
- 00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:23,000
- Yeah.
- 1063
- 00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:24,530
- Did we talk about that?
- 1064
- 00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:28,290
- Tell me what it was like
- the day that she was born.
- 1065
- 00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,560
- What?
- 1066
- 00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:31,760
- What it felt like for you.
- 1067
- 00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,840
- Uh, it was scary.
- 1068
- 00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,240
- It was very scary. I was terrified.
- 1069
- 00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,280
- But then they gave her to me
- 1070
- 00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:46,440
- and I had the most amazing
- sensation run through me.
- 1071
- 00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,720
- It... I can't...
- 1072
- 00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:53,120
- What? Finish it.
- 1073
- 00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,200
- It sounds... it's goofy.
- 1074
- 00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:56,640
- No, it doesn't sound goofy.
- 1075
- 00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:58,560
- Do you know, actually,
- this is the first time that I felt
- 1076
- 00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:00,320
- any attraction towards you, whatsoever.
- 1077
- 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:01,920
- - Really?
- - Yes.
- 1078
- 01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:05,840
- I looked at her and I...
- 1079
- 01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,720
- I realized that I wasn't feeling love.
- 1080
- 01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:13,600
- I had become love.
- 1081
- 01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,120
- She doesn't talk to me now, though.
- 1082
- 01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,880
- She blames me for the divorce,
- and so she's angry at me.
- 1083
- 01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:24,280
- And...
- 1084
- 01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:26,480
- I deserve it.
- 1085
- 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,360
- I'm gonna make you a deal.
- 1086
- 01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,680
- If you can take all of this,
- 1087
- 01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:36,640
- frankly, aggressive determination
- 1088
- 01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,760
- and extraordinary openness
- 1089
- 01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,800
- and use it on winning your daughter back,
- 1090
- 01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:48,880
- then I'll do it.
- 1091
- 01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:52,560
- It's a deal.
- 1092
- 01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:56,960
- See, you don't feel that?
- 1093
- 01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:59,120
- Oh, wow. Give me my hand back.
- 1094
- 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:01,720
- You feel that though, right? You feel it?
- 1095
- 01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,000
- - That's sparks.
- - Goodbye, whit.
- 1096
- 01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:04,160
- That's what that is.
- 1097
- 01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:57,880
- Hey! What's up?
- 1098
- 01:01:58,040 --> 01:01:59,880
- - What?
- - You got something to say?
- 1099
- 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:09,640
- You got something you wanna say?
- 1100
- 01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:11,720
- Oh, yeah. I got a lot of things
- I'd like to say to you.
- 1101
- 01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,000
- Well, say it. Say it!
- 1102
- 01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:16,480
- See, you just waste time.
- 1103
- 01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:18,640
- See, I give you a gift
- and you just waste it!
- 1104
- 01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:22,130
- I don't care about time.
- 1105
- 01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,160
- This is a prison sentence!
- 1106
- 01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:26,720
- I don't want your gift!
- 1107
- 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,320
- Because you took hers.
- 1108
- 01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:08,890
- Oh, come on.
- 1109
- 01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:10,570
- Are you here to take me?
- 1110
- 01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:13,570
- No, Howard.
- I'm here to ride the f train with you.
- 1111
- 01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:15,040
- Oh, okay.
- 1112
- 01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:19,520
- So, there are these two twins
- in a womb, a boy and a girl.
- 1113
- 01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:20,920
- You telling a joke?
- 1114
- 01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:22,520
- No, no. It's a story.
- 1115
- 01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,200
- So, these twins are happy.
- 1116
- 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:26,600
- They're fed, they're warm, they feel safe.
- 1117
- 01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:28,760
- But they're outgrowing their space
- 1118
- 01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:32,120
- and they realize this can't go on forever.
- 1119
- 01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:33,880
- So they start thinking,
- 1120
- 01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:36,440
- "what comes next?"
- 1121
- 01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,250
- "What if it's cold or lonely?"
- 1122
- 01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:40,600
- "What if we're not together?"
- 1123
- 01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,930
- "What if there's nothing at all?"
- 1124
- 01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:49,560
- So, then the girl looks at the cord.
- 1125
- 01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:52,080
- This cord that has fed them,
- has nourished them,
- 1126
- 01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:54,640
- this cord that they
- can't possibly conceive
- 1127
- 01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,120
- could be attached to anything else.
- 1128
- 01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:58,770
- And she says,
- 1129
- 01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,570
- "well, we have no proof."
- 1130
- 01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:03,080
- "All we have is this."
- 1131
- 01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:05,440
- No.
- 1132
- 01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:07,450
- Wow, that's deep.
- 1133
- 01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:10,330
- So, it's like life after birth.
- 1134
- 01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:12,240
- Hopeful.
- 1135
- 01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:14,320
- All right, what do you want?
- 1136
- 01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:16,560
- Why are you here?
- 1137
- 01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:18,640
- I've heard all of your platitudes.
- 1138
- 01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:19,960
- I got them, I know.
- 1139
- 01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:21,480
- "She's in a better place."
- 1140
- 01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:24,450
- And, "this is all
- a part of a master plan."
- 1141
- 01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:25,760
- Heard that one, too.
- 1142
- 01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:27,120
- Here's my favorite.
- 1143
- 01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:30,760
- "God looked down and
- saw the most beautiful rose,"
- 1144
- 01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:32,800
- "so beautiful that he picked it"
- 1145
- 01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:35,690
- "to have it in heaven all for himself."
- 1146
- 01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,120
- Then there's the science, biocentrism,
- 1147
- 01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:42,640
- and we're all living and dying
- in infinite universes
- 1148
- 01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:44,480
- all at the same time.
- 1149
- 01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:45,760
- And then the religion,
- 1150
- 01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:47,680
- the christians and their salvation,
- 1151
- 01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:51,320
- and the Buddhists and their samsara,
- and the hindus and their 41 st sacrament.
- 1152
- 01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:52,970
- And can't forget the poetry.
- 1153
- 01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:54,530
- Oh, the poetry.
- 1154
- 01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,680
- "To die is different
- from what anyone supposed"
- 1155
- 01:04:57,840 --> 01:04:59,040
- "and luckier."
- 1156
- 01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:00,320
- Whitman.
- 1157
- 01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:02,640
- And, "rage..."
- 1158
- 01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:04,600
- "Rage against the dying of the light."
- 1159
- 01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:08,280
- "Though wise men at their end
- know dark is right."
- 1160
- 01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:10,320
- Thomas. And then...
- 1161
- 01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:14,040
- (Singing) Row, row, row your boat
- gently down the stream
- 1162
- 01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,000
- merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
- 1163
- 01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:20,680
- life is but a dream
- 1164
- 01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:22,000
- I got it.
- 1165
- 01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:23,490
- I got it!
- 1166
- 01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:29,520
- It all basically says
- that you're a natural part of life,
- 1167
- 01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:33,570
- we shouldn't hate you,
- we shouldn't fear you.
- 1168
- 01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:36,480
- I guess we should just accept you, right?
- 1169
- 01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:38,050
- That's it?
- 1170
- 01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:41,640
- I get it. Here's the thing.
- 1171
- 01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:45,330
- It's all a bunch of intellectual bullshit
- 1172
- 01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:50,200
- because she's not here
- holding my fucking hand.
- 1173
- 01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,010
- Men: (Singing)
- Oh, lord, what a beautiful city
- 1174
- 01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:09,200
- oh, lord, what a beautiful city
- 1175
- 01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:12,520
- twelve gates to the city
- 1176
- 01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:13,720
- hallelujah
- 1177
- 01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:16,400
- amen, amen
- 1178
- 01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:18,050
- who are all those children
- 1179
- 01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:23,280
- all dressed up in white
- 1180
- 01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:26,400
- hi, Howard.
- 1181
- 01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:30,240
- (Groans)
- 1182
- 01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:31,930
- You gonna cry again?
- 1183
- 01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:33,680
- You don't like it when I'm sad?
- 1184
- 01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:36,040
- - Ah, aren't you always sad?
- - No.
- 1185
- 01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:37,960
- No, I can be other things. I can be happy.
- 1186
- 01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:41,240
- - I can be unexpected and unpredictable...
- - Huh.
- 1187
- 01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,760
- And sexy and warm and mysterious and...
- 1188
- 01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:46,760
- And home.
- 1189
- 01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,160
- I can be home, Howard, you remember?
- 1190
- 01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:50,920
- Do you remember me?
- 1191
- 01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,920
- Listen. All the "fabric of life" bullshit,
- save that for somebody else.
- 1192
- 01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:56,080
- It's not bullshit.
- 1193
- 01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:58,890
- (Stutters) I know you don't believe me,
- but you have to trust me.
- 1194
- 01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:00,280
- Trust you?
- 1195
- 01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:02,120
- - Trust you?
- - Yes!
- 1196
- 01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:04,080
- I did trust you!
- 1197
- 01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:06,560
- And you betrayed me!
- 1198
- 01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:10,600
- I saw you every day in her eyes,
- 1199
- 01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:13,920
- and I heard you in her voice
- when she laughed,
- 1200
- 01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:17,440
- and I felt you inside of me
- when she called me "daddy."
- 1201
- 01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:20,250
- And you betrayed me!
- 1202
- 01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:23,400
- You broke my heart.
- 1203
- 01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:25,760
- No.
- 1204
- 01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:28,960
- I'm in all of it.
- 1205
- 01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:30,360
- I'm the darkness and the light,
- 1206
- 01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:31,970
- I'm the sunshine and the storm.
- 1207
- 01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:33,120
- Yes, you're right.
- 1208
- 01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:34,960
- I was there in her laugh,
- 1209
- 01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:39,080
- but I'm also here now in your pain.
- 1210
- 01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,200
- I'm the reason for everything.
- 1211
- 01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:45,600
- I am the only "why."
- 1212
- 01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:49,640
- Don't try and live without me, Howard.
- 1213
- 01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:52,250
- Please don't.
- 1214
- 01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:38,000
- The deal with omnicom's almost done.
- 1215
- 01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:40,010
- What about Howard?
- 1216
- 01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:41,400
- Well, they're aware of the situation
- 1217
- 01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,530
- but we still have to prove
- that Howard's ability to vote
- 1218
- 01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:46,200
- is, uh, compromised.
- 1219
- 01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:48,560
- I can't believe it's come down to this.
- 1220
- 01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:50,160
- Yeah, well, believe it.
- 1221
- 01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,450
- We have a competency meeting
- with the board set for Thursday.
- 1222
- 01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:04,000
- Chairman: We're here to give you
- a chance to explain this.
- 1223
- 01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,240
- Howard, what are you doing in this video?
- 1224
- 01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:12,600
- I do not care about time.
- 1225
- 01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:15,720
- This is a prison sentence!
- 1226
- 01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,280
- I don't want your gift!
- 1227
- 01:09:19,440 --> 01:09:20,920
- Chairman: What are you doing, Howard?
- 1228
- 01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:23,560
- Howard: Because you took hers.
- 1229
- 01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:25,800
- Howard?
- 1230
- 01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:27,640
- Howard: You gonna cry again?
- 1231
- 01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:30,560
- Aren't you always sad?
- 1232
- 01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:31,800
- What about here?
- 1233
- 01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:33,920
- Howard: Listen.
- All the "fabric of life" bullshit,
- 1234
- 01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:35,530
- save that for somebody else.
- 1235
- 01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:41,600
- Trust you?
- 1236
- 01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:43,890
- Trust you?
- 1237
- 01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:46,160
- I did trust you!
- 1238
- 01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:49,400
- I committed everything to you
- 1239
- 01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:51,480
- and you betrayed me!
- 1240
- 01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:56,600
- I saw you every day in her eyes,
- 1241
- 01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:01,570
- and I heard you in her voice
- when she laughed.
- 1242
- 01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:03,400
- And I felt you inside of me...
- 1243
- 01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:04,600
- Howard?
- 1244
- 01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:06,240
- When she called me "daddy."
- 1245
- 01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:07,400
- Howard?
- 1246
- 01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:08,800
- You broke my heart.
- 1247
- 01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:12,080
- Howard, I need you to answer me.
- Who are you shouting at here?
- 1248
- 01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:14,280
- Howard: I've heard all of your platitudes.
- I got them, I know.
- 1249
- 01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:17,130
- Um, it's not "who."
- 1250
- 01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:18,720
- And, "this is all
- a part of a master plan."
- 1251
- 01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:20,000
- Chairman: I'm sorry, what?
- 1252
- 01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:21,240
- I got it.
- 1253
- 01:10:21,440 --> 01:10:23,760
- Chairman: Howard, did you say something?
- 1254
- 01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,320
- I'm not talking to people.
- 1255
- 01:10:26,480 --> 01:10:30,120
- Chairman: Well, that's obvious.
- Who are you talking to?
- 1256
- 01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:32,890
- (Video continues)
- 1257
- 01:10:34,440 --> 01:10:35,680
- Howard, who are you talking to?
- 1258
- 01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:38,040
- That's enough. It's enough.
- 1259
- 01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:39,880
- Thank you. (Stutters)
- 1260
- 01:10:40,480 --> 01:10:41,970
- You made the point, I think.
- 1261
- 01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:44,880
- Just turn it off.
- 1262
- 01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:56,560
- (Inhales)
- 1263
- 01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:59,120
- You hired people to follow me?
- 1264
- 01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:01,530
- Make video?
- 1265
- 01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:03,840
- No, that wasn't the initial intention.
- 1266
- 01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:05,650
- No, (Stutters) We did.
- 1267
- 01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:07,360
- Yeah, we did.
- 1268
- 01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:09,600
- (Inhales deeply)
- We did a lot more than that, Howard.
- 1269
- 01:11:10,480 --> 01:11:12,200
- Howard, I'm so sorry.
- 1270
- 01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:13,690
- (Sobbing) We felt like...
- 1271
- 01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:15,170
- We didn't know what else to do.
- 1272
- 01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:17,720
- - Claire.
- - Claire: No. I can't do this anymore.
- 1273
- 01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:20,320
- I can't do this anymore, whit.
- 1274
- 01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:22,200
- (Sobbing) Listen, I really...
- 1275
- 01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:24,200
- I didn't even think that
- it was gonna work.
- 1276
- 01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:26,320
- - Really, honestly, I...
- - Claire. Claire. Claire.
- 1277
- 01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:28,080
- I'm so sorry.
- 1278
- 01:11:28,480 --> 01:11:30,600
- - All right, all right, all right.
- - Claire: Howard...
- 1279
- 01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:33,000
- (Sighs)
- 1280
- 01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:37,200
- I'm obviously not
- in the right state of mind.
- 1281
- 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:41,680
- Maybe none of us are.
- 1282
- 01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:43,840
- You think I haven't noticed?
- 1283
- 01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:49,840
- I mean, Claire,
- 1284
- 01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:54,280
- you dedicated
- your entire life to this agency.
- 1285
- 01:11:54,440 --> 01:11:56,240
- You made us your family
- 1286
- 01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,720
- when you could have been
- starting your own.
- 1287
- 01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,400
- And, uh, you've been
- absolutely killing yourself,
- 1288
- 01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:04,050
- covering for me,
- 1289
- 01:12:04,440 --> 01:12:05,960
- and I appreciate that.
- 1290
- 01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:07,240
- (Sniffles)
- 1291
- 01:12:07,440 --> 01:12:09,960
- Thank you. (Sighs)
- 1292
- 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:13,560
- And, Simon,
- 1293
- 01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:16,920
- you've done your best
- to hide it from everyone,
- 1294
- 01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:18,730
- but I know your history.
- 1295
- 01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:22,280
- And I suspect I'm making
- an already impossible situation
- 1296
- 01:12:22,480 --> 01:12:24,080
- - even worse for you.
- - (Sniffles)
- 1297
- 01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:28,210
- I promise you,
- 1298
- 01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:31,880
- as long as I am here,
- 1299
- 01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:34,800
- your family will be cared for.
- 1300
- 01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:38,160
- Thank you.
- 1301
- 01:12:39,440 --> 01:12:40,600
- (Sighs)
- 1302
- 01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:42,760
- Whit.
- 1303
- 01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:47,080
- Best friend I've ever had.
- 1304
- 01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:50,560
- But I'm disappointed in you, man.
- 1305
- 01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:53,280
- I mean, not for... not for this.
- 1306
- 01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:55,800
- Not for this.
- 1307
- 01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:57,360
- (Sighs)
- 1308
- 01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:03,290
- You don't need her permission
- to be her father.
- 1309
- 01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:11,360
- Allison's the best thing
- you got happening in this world,
- 1310
- 01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,320
- and tomorrow's not promised.
- 1311
- 01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:20,680
- Do you hear me?
- 1312
- 01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:27,440
- You guys did the right thing.
- 1313
- 01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:31,600
- I want our agency to survive.
- 1314
- 01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:33,400
- Something should.
- 1315
- 01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:35,880
- All right, um...
- 1316
- 01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:39,320
- I'll sign the papers now.
- 1317
- 01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:45,650
- - (Sighs heavily)
- - Your approval of the sale.
- 1318
- 01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:54,640
- Uh, the other one?
- 1319
- 01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:59,200
- The one you called me
- six times to have me sign.
- 1320
- 01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:01,400
- Um, I assume you have it here with you.
- 1321
- 01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:08,560
- I am sorry, Howard.
- 1322
- 01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:11,520
- (Sighing)
- 1323
- 01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:16,130
- (Sniffles)
- 1324
- 01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:24,370
- (Sniffles)
- 1325
- 01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:25,890
- (Exhales slowly)
- 1326
- 01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:28,040
- This is the right thing.
- 1327
- 01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:32,450
- I'm telling you, this is the right thing.
- 1328
- 01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:46,200
- (Sniffles) Excuse me.
- 1329
- 01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:48,920
- What was that second piece of paper?
- 1330
- 01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:53,040
- Howard put some of his ownership
- into a trust in his daughter's name.
- 1331
- 01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:57,400
- It's just a legal certificate
- saying she's no longer with us.
- 1332
- 01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:04,600
- (Clicks tongue) I think I need a drink.
- 1333
- 01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:07,240
- (Sniffles)
- 1334
- 01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:44,400
- (Simon coughing)
- 1335
- 01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:53,370
- (Knock on door)
- 1336
- 01:15:54,120 --> 01:15:55,320
- (Coughing)
- 1337
- 01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:58,040
- (Flushes)
- 1338
- 01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:01,480
- (Grunts)
- 1339
- 01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,000
- Are you okay?
- 1340
- 01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:51,080
- "They say that the time in heaven"
- 1341
- 01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:56,360
- "is compared to the blink of an eye"
- 1342
- 01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:58,680
- "for us on this earth."
- 1343
- 01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:07,080
- "Sometimes I think of Adam running"
- 1344
- 01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,200
- "through a beautiful field
- of wild flowers."
- 1345
- 01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:18,010
- (Closes laptop)
- 1346
- 01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:23,560
- "He's so happy,
- completely caught up in what he's doing."
- 1347
- 01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:30,890
- "But then he looks back"
- 1348
- 01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:34,200
- "like he used to do when
- he ran ahead of me"
- 1349
- 01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:36,880
- "in airports or malls or wherever."
- 1350
- 01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:39,490
- (Chuckles softly)
- 1351
- 01:17:42,480 --> 01:17:44,400
- "And he smiles."
- 1352
- 01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:46,080
- Jesus.
- 1353
- 01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:50,240
- "Because the blink of his eye
- was the rest of my life"
- 1354
- 01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:54,720
- "and I'm right there behind him."
- 1355
- 01:17:57,600 --> 01:17:58,800
- (Sniffles)
- 1356
- 01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:01,120
- Anyway, it's a first draft. (Chuckles)
- 1357
- 01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:02,880
- (Breathing shakily)
- 1358
- 01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:04,600
- It's beautiful.
- 1359
- 01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:06,880
- Really beautiful.
- 1360
- 01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:11,440
- Does anybody else wanna say anything?
- 1361
- 01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:16,040
- Okay, I guess that's all for tonight.
- 1362
- 01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:21,160
- Thank you.
- 1363
- 01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:31,600
- - (Sirens wailing)
- - (Horns honking)
- 1364
- 01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:46,880
- (Horn honking)
- 1365
- 01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:48,850
- Sorry, sorry.
- 1366
- 01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:51,760
- Yo!
- 1367
- 01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:54,080
- I can't believe you made me
- come into this neighborhood
- 1368
- 01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:56,280
- carrying $20,000 in cash.
- 1369
- 01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:58,320
- What are you gonna do with it?
- 1370
- 01:18:58,480 --> 01:19:00,320
- You should put it aside for acting school.
- 1371
- 01:19:00,480 --> 01:19:01,680
- You were really good.
- 1372
- 01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:04,120
- Mmm. I'm gonna use it
- to buy designer drugs.
- 1373
- 01:19:04,440 --> 01:19:06,010
- Or that, too.
- 1374
- 01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:07,240
- Yeah.
- 1375
- 01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:10,410
- (Chuckles lightly)
- 1376
- 01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:13,320
- Hey, you gonna make a good mom one day.
- 1377
- 01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:18,840
- Yeah?
- 1378
- 01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:22,010
- Yeah, well,
- that's pretty much not in the cards.
- 1379
- 01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:24,400
- I decided against the science
- 1380
- 01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:28,120
- and it seems time
- finally caught up with me.
- 1381
- 01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:33,730
- There was this dust dealer up on
- 187th who gave me brave new world.
- 1382
- 01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:36,440
- That book turned hours into seconds.
- 1383
- 01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:38,280
- He was my father.
- 1384
- 01:19:38,440 --> 01:19:39,930
- And there was this homeless woman
- 1385
- 01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,160
- who lived under
- the university heights bridge.
- 1386
- 01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:43,480
- Her name was flora.
- 1387
- 01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:47,040
- She was batshit crazy,
- but she told me the greatest stories.
- 1388
- 01:19:47,440 --> 01:19:48,440
- She was my mother.
- 1389
- 01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:51,530
- See, Claire,
- 1390
- 01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:54,840
- your children don't have to come from you.
- 1391
- 01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:56,570
- They go through you.
- 1392
- 01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:02,680
- So, I wouldn't consider
- the battle with time over just yet.
- 1393
- 01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:05,570
- I thought time wasn't linear.
- 1394
- 01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:07,130
- I thought it was an illusion.
- 1395
- 01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:11,720
- (Sighs) Maybe
- that was just bullshit, Claire.
- 1396
- 01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:15,840
- Maybe that was just acting. (Chuckles)
- 1397
- 01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:48,280
- - Whit: Hey, Allison.
- - Come on, let's go.
- 1398
- 01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:50,560
- Oh. Come on. Allison!
- 1399
- 01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:52,600
- I'll meet you guys there.
- 1400
- 01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:57,120
- I don't wanna talk to you. You know that.
- 1401
- 01:20:57,360 --> 01:20:58,360
- Leave me alone.
- 1402
- 01:20:58,520 --> 01:20:59,760
- No. I won't leave you alone.
- 1403
- 01:20:59,920 --> 01:21:01,200
- - No?
- - No.
- 1404
- 01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:03,760
- I know you're angry at me,
- and that's okay.
- 1405
- 01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:04,960
- I can take it.
- 1406
- 01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:08,600
- But we gotta talk about it
- because that's what you do in a family.
- 1407
- 01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:12,280
- So I'm gonna come here every day
- and embarrass you in front of your friends
- 1408
- 01:21:12,440 --> 01:21:13,480
- until you talk to me.
- 1409
- 01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:15,080
- So you're gonna stalk me?
- 1410
- 01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:16,960
- Well... yes, basically.
- 1411
- 01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:18,280
- Well, what if I get a restraining order?
- 1412
- 01:21:18,440 --> 01:21:19,960
- Well, I don't think you're
- gonna be able to do that.
- 1413
- 01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:21,480
- Well, I'll get mom to pay for it.
- 1414
- 01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:23,480
- Well, for your information, they're free.
- 1415
- 01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:25,290
- Well, then I'll get you to pay for it.
- 1416
- 01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:30,400
- I really love you.
- 1417
- 01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:33,450
- Mom says you butcher that word.
- 1418
- 01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:35,400
- Not when I say it to you.
- 1419
- 01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:37,360
- Look...
- 1420
- 01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:40,490
- I can't fly you to Maine for lunch
- 1421
- 01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:42,080
- or get you picked up in a Tesla
- 1422
- 01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:44,480
- and take you to your internship
- with Anna wintour
- 1423
- 01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:46,920
- or whatever the hell
- they do in this neighborhood.
- 1424
- 01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:48,480
- (Inhales sharply)
- 1425
- 01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:52,000
- But I think that you and me
- can sit on a park bench
- 1426
- 01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,080
- and tell jokes
- and have a pretty good time.
- 1427
- 01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:58,520
- (Sighs) I can't believe
- you're gonna stalk me.
- 1428
- 01:22:02,520 --> 01:22:03,720
- But, um...
- 1429
- 01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:07,000
- Just so you know, tomorrow's a half-day.
- 1430
- 01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:10,000
- Well, I'll be here then.
- 1431
- 01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:31,000
- Hey.
- 1432
- 01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:35,560
- Here you are.
- 1433
- 01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:41,250
- I've been waiting a long time
- for my moment for validation,
- 1434
- 01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:42,560
- and this was it.
- 1435
- 01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:46,280
- An audience of one,
- in secret, with no applause.
- 1436
- 01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:52,210
- (Chuckles)
- 1437
- 01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:54,050
- (Coughs)
- 1438
- 01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:56,760
- I told my wife.
- 1439
- 01:22:57,240 --> 01:22:58,730
- Oh, how did it go?
- 1440
- 01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:00,320
- She knew.
- 1441
- 01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:03,360
- She's getting ready for it.
- 1442
- 01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:10,720
- You know, when I was younger,
- I used to think,
- 1443
- 01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:14,560
- you really wanna live to be 100 years old?
- 1444
- 01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:17,080
- You know, like a shriveled up raisin.
- 1445
- 01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:20,560
- And the answer to that now
- 1446
- 01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:22,810
- is yes.
- 1447
- 01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:26,360
- Because my son would be 70,
- 1448
- 01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:28,600
- his son would be 40,
- 1449
- 01:23:28,760 --> 01:23:30,560
- and his son would be 10.
- 1450
- 01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:34,400
- And I would be the man, you know.
- 1451
- 01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:36,330
- Pops.
- 1452
- 01:23:38,480 --> 01:23:41,760
- (Sighs) Could get used to that, you know.
- 1453
- 01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:45,520
- See you around, pops.
- 1454
- 01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:50,280
- I wish I could be here to see the play.
- 1455
- 01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:53,960
- Oh, no, no.
- The play is dead after all this.
- 1456
- 01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:56,760
- But you never know,
- 1457
- 01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:00,040
- nothing's ever really dead
- if you look at it right.
- 1458
- 01:24:27,480 --> 01:24:29,200
- (Doorbell rings)
- 1459
- 01:24:45,480 --> 01:24:46,720
- Hey.
- 1460
- 01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:48,320
- Hey.
- 1461
- 01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:50,730
- Uh, it's Christmas Eve.
- 1462
- 01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:52,850
- Mmm-hmm.
- 1463
- 01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:55,200
- And you're alone.
- 1464
- 01:24:55,520 --> 01:24:56,520
- By choice.
- 1465
- 01:24:57,040 --> 01:24:59,000
- Can I ruin that?
- 1466
- 01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:52,000
- You've been crying.
- 1467
- 01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:57,050
- I was watching a video
- I took of my daughter.
- 1468
- 01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:00,920
- She's dancing with her father in it.
- 1469
- 01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:05,840
- Can I show it to you, Howard?
- 1470
- 01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:30,240
- My daughter's name was Olivia.
- 1471
- 01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:35,960
