00:00:04,178 --> 00:00:05,483
Can we talk?

00:00:05,527 --> 00:00:06,963
We better.

4
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:08,617
What's going on?

5
00:00:09,705 --> 00:00:11,794
I'm pregnant.

6
00:00:18,322 --> 00:00:19,628
Are you sure?

7
00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:22,022
I'm sure.

8
00:00:23,936 --> 00:00:25,764
Sometimes these things
ain't accurate.

9
00:00:25,808 --> 00:00:27,114
Maybe take another one.

10
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,334
Here you go.

11
00:00:30,378 --> 00:00:32,554
Two is convincing,
but-but three...

12
00:00:32,597 --> 00:00:34,034
I'm pregnant, Georgie!

14
00:00:35,078 --> 00:00:36,340
What happens now?

15
00:00:36,384 --> 00:00:37,733
I don't know.

16
00:00:37,776 --> 00:00:40,257
I've never been knocked up
by a 17-year-old before.

17
00:00:40,301 --> 00:00:42,781
Well, if it helps,

What time are you home tonight?

24
00:01:06,979 --> 00:01:08,981
Late. I'm working
at Ballard's

25
00:01:09,025 --> 00:01:10,722
after practice again.

26
00:01:10,766 --> 00:01:12,072
How long can you
keep this up?

27
00:01:12,115 --> 00:01:13,769
Maybe I'll get fired
from the high school

28
00:01:13,812 --> 00:01:15,597
and only have one job
to worry about.

29
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,294
I'm sorry.Me, too.

30
00:01:17,338 --> 00:01:19,601
Oh, I'm assuming
you heard the bad news.

31
00:01:19,644 --> 00:01:20,602
What news?

32
00:01:20,645 --> 00:01:22,169
Isaac Asimov died.

33
00:01:22,212 --> 00:01:24,867
Oh, no, is that one
of your school friends?

34
00:01:24,910 --> 00:01:27,043
What? No, he's one of
the most prolific

35
00:01:27,087 --> 00:01:29,306
science fiction writers
in the history of the genre.

36
00:01:29,350 --> 00:01:30,655
Never heard of him.

37
00:01:30,699 --> 00:01:32,614
Sure you have.
He wrote I, Robot,

38
00:01:32,657 --> 00:01:33,789
the Foundationtrilogy.

39
00:01:33,832 --> 00:01:36,661
Nope. Nightfall? The Posotronic Man?

40
00:01:36,705 --> 00:01:38,315
You ever heard of this guy?Mm-mm.

00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:41,449
Caves of Steel. Hostess.
The Naked Sun?

42
00:01:41,491 --> 00:01:43,799
Whoever he is, sorry he died.
Gotta go. Bye.

Bye.ADULT SHELDON: Astonishing.

44
00:01:45,583 --> 00:01:47,933
Asimov wrote almost 500 books,

45
00:01:47,977 --> 00:01:49,848
which was apparently
500 more

46
00:01:49,892 --> 00:01:51,372
than my family had read.

47
00:01:52,372 --> 00:01:54,679
[knock on door]

48
00:01:54,723 --> 00:01:56,507
Can I talk to you
about something?

49
00:01:56,551 --> 00:01:58,640
Come on, this is my coffee time.

50
00:01:58,683 --> 00:02:00,294
It's more important
than your coffee.

51
00:02:00,337 --> 00:02:03,166
If I don't drink my coffee,
I don't go to the bathroom.

52
00:02:03,210 --> 00:02:04,559
That's important.

53
00:02:04,602 --> 00:02:06,474
That girl I was seeing
is pregnant.

54
00:02:06,517 --> 00:02:08,866
You win. Sit.

55
00:02:11,740 --> 00:02:13,176
My folks are gonna
kill me.

56
00:02:13,220 --> 00:02:15,004
They don't know yet?

57
00:02:15,047 --> 00:02:16,310
You're the only person
I told.

58
00:02:16,353 --> 00:02:18,486
Oh, no, I don't want that.

59
00:02:18,529 --> 00:02:20,357
Please help me.

00:02:20,401 --> 00:02:21,924

61
00:02:21,966 --> 00:02:24,883
All right, first things first.

62
00:02:24,927 --> 00:02:27,756
Are you sure this kid's
even yours?

63
00:02:27,799 --> 00:02:30,280
Yeah. We've been
sleeping together.

64
00:02:30,324 --> 00:02:33,283
Well, that doesn't mean
it's yours.

65
00:02:35,503 --> 00:02:37,113
Maybe she cheated on me.

66
00:02:37,156 --> 00:02:39,898
We can only hope.

67
00:02:40,638 --> 00:02:42,553
How are you holding up?

68
00:02:42,597 --> 00:02:44,468
With what?

69
00:02:44,512 --> 00:02:46,775
The death of Isaac Asimov.Who?

70
00:02:46,817 --> 00:02:49,168
Pop Pop's favorite science
fiction writer, remember?

71
00:02:49,212 --> 00:02:50,866
[chuckles]
At this rate,

72
00:02:50,909 --> 00:02:52,737
you're lucky I remember Pop Pop.

73
00:02:52,781 --> 00:02:55,218
Well, he gave me Asimov's
Foundationtrilogy

74
00:02:55,262 --> 00:02:56,741
for my fifth birthday.

75
00:02:56,785 --> 00:02:59,744
I remember he used to try to
get me to read that stuff.

76
00:02:59,788 --> 00:03:01,616
Boring!

77
00:03:01,659 --> 00:03:04,836
Boring? Asimov invented
the laws of robotics

78
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,925
and the concept of
a galactic empire.

79
00:03:06,969 --> 00:03:09,276
If a book doesn't have
a shirtless guy

80
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:11,408
with long hair on the cover,
I ain't reading it.

81
00:03:11,452 --> 00:03:14,368
You're missing out.I'm really not.

82
00:03:16,196 --> 00:03:18,459
You haven't said a thing
about my new car.

83
00:03:18,502 --> 00:03:21,026
Oh. I hate it.

84
00:03:21,070 --> 00:03:23,768
Do you think Pastor Jeff will
let me babysit for him?

85
00:03:23,812 --> 00:03:26,118
I don't know.

86
00:03:26,162 --> 00:03:29,078
Their baby isn't even
a year old yet.

87
00:03:29,121 --> 00:03:30,949
Heather M. got ten bucks,
and all she did was

88
00:03:30,993 --> 00:03:32,777
watch MTV while
her cousin slept.

89
00:03:32,821 --> 00:03:34,170
What a scam.

90
00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:35,998
It's not always that easy.

91
00:03:36,041 --> 00:03:38,392
They lay there like a lump.
How hard can it be?

92
00:03:39,697 --> 00:03:41,917
Will you please just
ask Pastor Jeff?

93
00:03:43,223 --> 00:03:45,007
I don't think you're
gonna like it.

94
00:03:45,050 --> 00:03:47,357
You don't think
I'm responsible enough.

95
00:03:47,401 --> 00:03:50,665
All I said was I don't think
you're gonna like it.

96
00:03:50,708 --> 00:03:52,536
I don't like homework,
but I do it.

97
00:03:52,579 --> 00:03:54,103
I have seen your homework.

98
00:03:54,146 --> 00:03:55,930
Is that how you're gonna
take care of a baby?

99
00:03:55,974 --> 00:03:58,063
Math is harder than babies.

100
00:04:00,762 --> 00:04:03,286
Ooh, perhaps the cold
dark matter we're looking for

101
00:04:03,330 --> 00:04:05,810
is not the axion
but the majoron.

102
00:04:05,854 --> 00:04:07,682
Uh-huh.

103
00:04:07,725 --> 00:04:09,510
That's it?
I just laid down

104
00:04:09,553 --> 00:04:10,772
some big boy science.

105
00:04:10,815 --> 00:04:13,427
Sorry. We lost
a great man today,

106
00:04:13,470 --> 00:04:14,689
and no one seems to care.

107
00:04:14,732 --> 00:04:15,907
Asimov?

108
00:04:15,951 --> 00:04:17,560
Yes, Asimov.

109
00:04:17,605 --> 00:04:20,476
I told three people the news,
and you know what they said?

110
00:04:20,521 --> 00:04:22,305
"Who's that?"Exactly.

111
00:04:22,349 --> 00:04:24,699
What's wrong with the world?
The man's a legend.

112
00:04:24,742 --> 00:04:26,004
I didn't know you were a fan.

113
00:04:26,048 --> 00:04:27,397
Ever since I read
The Naked Sun.

114
00:04:27,441 --> 00:04:29,617
I'll admit,
I came for the naked,

115
00:04:29,660 --> 00:04:32,228
but I stayed for the
interplanetary conspiracies.

116
00:04:32,272 --> 00:04:33,795
Have you read
The Gods Themselves?

117
00:04:33,838 --> 00:04:35,318
"We cannot stop Estwald."

118
00:04:35,362 --> 00:04:37,625
BOTH:
"We areEstwald!"

119
00:04:37,668 --> 00:04:38,756
Who's Estwald?

120
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,323
You don't know him either?

121
00:04:40,367 --> 00:04:43,805
I know who Asimov is, but
I've never read his work.

122
00:04:43,848 --> 00:04:45,415
Talk about big boy science.

123
00:04:45,459 --> 00:04:47,635
The man coined the term
"robotics."

124
00:04:47,678 --> 00:04:48,897
Ooh.

125
00:04:48,940 --> 00:04:50,986
Maybe we could have
a book club.

126
00:04:51,029 --> 00:04:53,510
My social schedule is
astonishingly open.

127
00:04:53,554 --> 00:04:56,426
What a lovely way to honor
Asimov's life.

128
00:04:56,470 --> 00:04:58,558
It'll be like
my mom's Bible study,

129
00:04:58,602 --> 00:05:00,778
but we know the characters
aren't real.

130
00:05:00,822 --> 00:05:01,910
What book should we
start with?

131
00:05:01,953 --> 00:05:04,173
That naked one sounded good.

132
00:05:06,610 --> 00:05:08,046
It's Georgie.

133
00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:10,440
What?

134
00:05:10,484 --> 00:05:11,920
I know I was
a little freaked out

135
00:05:11,963 --> 00:05:13,791
the last time I was here.You should be.

136
00:05:13,835 --> 00:05:15,402
But I had some time to think,

137
00:05:15,445 --> 00:05:17,795
and there's something
I need to ask you.

138
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,319
Yeah?

139
00:05:20,276 --> 00:05:22,234
Are you sure
that baby's mine?

140
00:05:22,278 --> 00:05:25,194
She did not like
that question at all.

141
00:05:31,287 --> 00:05:33,768
So the baby's yours?

142
00:05:33,811 --> 00:05:35,987
What am I gonna do?

143
00:05:36,031 --> 00:05:38,468
Is there any chance she might
decide not to have it?

144
00:05:38,512 --> 00:05:39,948
Put it up for adoption?

145
00:05:39,991 --> 00:05:42,603
Not happening.
She's keeping it.

146
00:05:42,646 --> 00:05:46,346
Well, I hope you enjoyed
being young and carefree,

147
00:05:46,389 --> 00:05:48,522
because that ship has sailed.

148
00:05:48,565 --> 00:05:49,653
Not helpful.

149
00:05:49,697 --> 00:05:51,829
No.

150
00:05:55,832 --> 00:05:59,359
All right.
I know what I need to do.

151
00:05:59,402 --> 00:06:00,664
Tell your parents?

152
00:06:00,708 --> 00:06:02,187
Do the right thing
and marry her.

153
00:06:02,231 --> 00:06:05,190
Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

154
00:06:05,234 --> 00:06:07,018
Georgie...

155
00:06:07,062 --> 00:06:09,064
no one has to
get married here.

156
00:06:09,107 --> 00:06:11,414
Well, my dad got my mom
pregnant, and he married her.

157
00:06:11,458 --> 00:06:14,461
Rushing into marriage with
someone you hardly know

158
00:06:14,504 --> 00:06:16,071
is a bad idea.

159
00:06:16,114 --> 00:06:18,508
Maybe we could be
happy together.

160
00:06:18,552 --> 00:06:20,684
How does she feel about you
right now?

161
00:06:20,728 --> 00:06:22,817
Pissed. But she's pregnant,

162
00:06:22,860 --> 00:06:24,427
so it's probably just
chick hormones.

163
00:06:24,471 --> 00:06:27,387
Well, tell her that
and see what happens.

164
00:06:29,258 --> 00:06:31,129
Hey, what are you
doing here?

165
00:06:31,173 --> 00:06:32,522
I just had to talk to Dale.

166
00:06:32,566 --> 00:06:35,438
You all right? You look like
you saw a ghost.

167
00:06:35,482 --> 00:06:37,048
Yeah, I'm good.

168
00:06:37,092 --> 00:06:39,050
Look, I know I've been busy,

169
00:06:39,094 --> 00:06:43,185
but if you ever want to talk,
I'm around.

170
00:06:46,101 --> 00:06:48,756
Actually, uh...

171
00:06:50,409 --> 00:06:53,456
I-I... I got a...
I got a girl pregnant.

172
00:06:54,805 --> 00:06:56,807
What the hell's the matter
with you?!

173
00:06:56,851 --> 00:06:59,941
[shouting]

174
00:07:00,550 --> 00:07:03,858
[grunting]

175
00:07:03,901 --> 00:07:06,426
Hello?

176
00:07:06,469 --> 00:07:09,254
I said if you ever want to talk,
I'm here.

177
00:07:10,386 --> 00:07:11,431
Thanks. Gotta go.

178
00:07:15,435 --> 00:07:17,915
Guess what. Dr. Sturgis,
Dr. Linkletter and I

179
00:07:17,959 --> 00:07:20,222
are starting an Isaac Asimov
book club.

00:07:20,265 --> 00:07:21,484
That's nice.

181
00:07:21,528 --> 00:07:23,268
I'm glad you think so
because you should join.

182
00:07:23,312 --> 00:07:25,227
And I think no.

183
00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:27,447
But this is perfect for you.Why?

184
00:07:27,490 --> 00:07:30,058
Because three smart people
will be there to explain things

185
00:07:30,101 --> 00:07:31,407
that go over your head.

186
00:07:31,451 --> 00:07:33,061
I'm gonna bonk you over
your head in a minute.

187
00:07:34,366 --> 00:07:36,673
What if it's just a short story?
Would you read it then?

188
00:07:36,717 --> 00:07:38,806
Why do you care
if I read this?

189
00:07:38,849 --> 00:07:40,808
Let's see.
Perhaps it has something to do

190
00:07:40,851 --> 00:07:42,505
with Pop Pop dying
before we ever got to

191
00:07:42,549 --> 00:07:44,768
discuss the books he gave me.

192
00:07:45,552 --> 00:07:46,857
How short a story?

193
00:07:46,901 --> 00:07:49,294
Nightfall'sonly 30 pages.

194
00:07:49,338 --> 00:07:50,818
Fine.Excellent.

195
00:07:50,861 --> 00:07:52,733
Why did you change your mind?

196
00:07:52,776 --> 00:07:55,866
Because you made me feel bad
about my dead husband.

197
00:07:55,909 --> 00:07:57,781
Neat.

198
00:07:57,825 --> 00:07:59,435
Pastor Jeff,
this is Missy Cooper.

199
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:02,003
Hey there, Missy.
What can I do for you?

200
00:08:02,046 --> 00:08:04,005
This is about what
I can do for you.

201
00:08:04,048 --> 00:08:05,659
Okay.

202
00:08:05,702 --> 00:08:08,400
How would you and your wife like
a night away from the baby?

203
00:08:08,444 --> 00:08:11,055
Maybe a movie?
I hear Beethoven'sfunny.

204
00:08:11,099 --> 00:08:12,404
It's about a big dumb dog.

205
00:08:12,448 --> 00:08:14,581
Are you offering to babysit?Yes, I am.

206
00:08:14,624 --> 00:08:16,365
'Cause I asked your mom
about it a while back,

207
00:08:16,408 --> 00:08:19,020
and she said you weren't
interested.Oh, really?

208
00:08:19,063 --> 00:08:20,543
Well, she's wrong.

209
00:08:20,587 --> 00:08:24,025
Fantastic.
How's Friday at 6:00?

210
00:08:24,068 --> 00:08:25,722
Perfect.See you then.

211
00:08:26,418 --> 00:08:28,551
What was the name of
that dog movie again?

212
00:08:28,595 --> 00:08:29,857
Beethoven.

213
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:32,554
And it's PG,
so God's cool with it.

214
00:08:35,078 --> 00:08:37,299
I saw Georgie stopped by
earlier.

215
00:08:37,342 --> 00:08:40,955
Well, yeah, he does that
once in a while.

216
00:08:40,998 --> 00:08:44,436
Yeah. Didn't realize y'all
were so close.

217
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,570
Oh, uh, I wouldn't say close.

218
00:08:47,614 --> 00:08:49,267
He might. I wouldn't.

219
00:08:50,834 --> 00:08:54,055
So, uh, what'd he come by for?

220
00:08:54,098 --> 00:08:56,057
Just to chat.

221
00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:57,624
Really?Mm.

222
00:08:57,667 --> 00:09:00,627
Well, I guess it's good he's
comfortable talking to someone.

223
00:09:00,670 --> 00:09:01,802
Uh-huh.

224
00:09:01,845 --> 00:09:03,455
Instead of his own father.

225
00:09:05,109 --> 00:09:08,112
I-I'm sure he'll
talk to you.

226
00:09:09,505 --> 00:09:11,159
Thanks.

227
00:09:13,291 --> 00:09:16,033
And you're not gonna like it.

228
00:09:16,077 --> 00:09:19,254
Mom, can I ask you
a Bible question?

229
00:09:19,297 --> 00:09:20,124
Always.

230
00:09:20,168 --> 00:09:21,604
Lying's a sin, right?

231
00:09:21,648 --> 00:09:22,910
Sure is.

232
00:09:22,953 --> 00:09:24,781
Proverbs 12:22.

233
00:09:24,825 --> 00:09:27,044
"The Lord detests lying lips,

234
00:09:27,088 --> 00:09:29,438
but He delights in people
who are trustworthy."

235
00:09:29,481 --> 00:09:31,745
Does it say anything
specifically

236
00:09:31,788 --> 00:09:32,876
about lying to your pastor?

237
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,356
Did you lie to Pastor Jeff?

238
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:37,141
No, but you did.I did not.

239
00:09:37,185 --> 00:09:39,753
You told him I wasn't
interested in babysitting.

240
00:09:39,796 --> 00:09:41,102
No.

241
00:09:41,145 --> 00:09:44,018
I said I didn't think
you were interested,

242
00:09:44,061 --> 00:09:46,107
which, technically,
was not a lie.

243
00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:47,587
Why don't you trust me?

244
00:09:47,630 --> 00:09:50,938
Because you can't even remember
to take out the trash.

245
00:09:50,981 --> 00:09:52,722
I remember.
I just don't do it.

246
00:09:52,766 --> 00:09:54,115
And for your information,

247
00:09:54,158 --> 00:09:56,639
Pastor Jeff hired me
to babysit this Friday.

248
00:09:56,683 --> 00:09:59,033
He did?He did.

249
00:10:00,251 --> 00:10:03,559
Okay. But if you need
any help,

250
00:10:03,603 --> 00:10:06,040
if you run into
any problems whatsoever,

251
00:10:06,083 --> 00:10:08,172
I am right next door
and I want you to call me.

252
00:10:08,216 --> 00:10:09,652
I'll be fine.Missy...

253
00:10:09,696 --> 00:10:10,914
Okay!

254
00:10:13,830 --> 00:10:15,223
Look, I'm taking out
the trash.

255
00:10:15,266 --> 00:10:16,833
I just put that bag in.

256
00:10:16,877 --> 00:10:18,922
There's no pleasing you.

257
00:10:20,707 --> 00:10:22,752
ADULT SHELDON:
I was envious of my meemaw.

258
00:10:22,796 --> 00:10:25,189
That night, she would get
to experience

259
00:10:25,233 --> 00:10:28,149
one of my favorite stories
for the very first time.

260
00:10:28,192 --> 00:10:30,107
MEEMAW:
"If the stars should appear

261
00:10:30,151 --> 00:10:34,111
"one night in a thousand years,
how would men believe

262
00:10:34,155 --> 00:10:38,115
"and adore, and preserve
for many generations,

263
00:10:38,159 --> 00:10:41,684
the remembrance of
the city of God?"

264
00:10:43,381 --> 00:10:45,340
What?!

265
00:10:45,383 --> 00:10:46,689
SHELDON:
All right,

266
00:10:46,733 --> 00:10:48,778
I would like to call
the first meeting

267
00:10:48,822 --> 00:10:50,998
of the Isaac Asimov
book club to order.

268
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,869
I'm assuming everyone's
read Nightfall?

269
00:10:55,306 --> 00:10:57,221
I read it.
[chuckles]

270
00:10:57,265 --> 00:11:00,181
I may have dozed off
a few times, but I read it.

271
00:11:00,224 --> 00:11:01,661
I read it as well.

272
00:11:01,704 --> 00:11:03,619
I found it quite compelling.

273
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:06,709
A planet that only experiences
nightfall

274
00:11:06,753 --> 00:11:09,712
once every 2,000 years.

275
00:11:09,756 --> 00:11:12,715
And once it does, it drives
everyone mad. Brilliant.

276
00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:14,499
I found the tension
between the scientists

277
00:11:14,543 --> 00:11:16,240
and the religious cultists
reminiscent of

278
00:11:16,284 --> 00:11:18,721
some dinnertime conversations
at my house.

279
00:11:18,765 --> 00:11:19,809
[laughter]

280
00:11:19,853 --> 00:11:21,898
What did you think, Connie?

281
00:11:21,942 --> 00:11:23,726
Eh...

282
00:11:23,770 --> 00:11:24,727
You didn't like it?

283
00:11:24,771 --> 00:11:26,076
I don't need a story

284
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,730
set on some outer space planet

285
00:11:27,774 --> 00:11:30,167
to tell me that people
freak out about change.

286
00:11:30,211 --> 00:11:31,603
Interesting.

287
00:11:31,647 --> 00:11:33,693
People lost it when women
started wearing pants

288
00:11:33,736 --> 00:11:35,085
and getting jobs.

289
00:11:35,129 --> 00:11:37,784
Everybody just overreacts
to everything.

290
00:11:37,827 --> 00:11:40,961
Is this because Coach Ballard
got upset and broke up with you?

291
00:11:41,004 --> 00:11:42,092
No.

292
00:11:42,136 --> 00:11:43,964
You two broke up?

293
00:11:44,007 --> 00:11:45,661
I'm sorry to hear that.

294
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:46,836
Terrible news.

295
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,403
Terrible. Terrible.

296
00:11:48,446 --> 00:11:50,753
It's okay. I'm over it.

297
00:11:50,797 --> 00:11:51,754
Excellent.Great.

298
00:11:52,668 --> 00:11:55,236
Look at the four of us talking
about Isaac Asimov.

299
00:11:55,279 --> 00:11:57,020
[chuckles]

300
00:11:57,891 --> 00:11:58,282
Mm.

301
00:12:03,897 --> 00:12:04,898
How rude of me, Connie.

302
00:12:04,941 --> 00:12:06,421
Can I offer you a beverage?

303
00:12:06,464 --> 00:12:09,076
Soda, water, Snapple?I'm fine.

304
00:12:09,119 --> 00:12:10,251
I'd take a Snapple.

305
00:12:10,294 --> 00:12:12,209
You know where the fridge is.

306
00:12:13,123 --> 00:12:14,124
Can we get back to the book?

307
00:12:14,168 --> 00:12:16,213
Yes, Connie, I'd love to hear

308
00:12:16,257 --> 00:12:17,911
more of your thoughts on it.

309
00:12:17,954 --> 00:12:19,260
I think I've said my piece.

310
00:12:19,303 --> 00:12:20,609
I have some thoughts.

311
00:12:20,652 --> 00:12:22,611
And we'll get to those
in due time.

312
00:12:22,654 --> 00:12:24,700
Don't you think Asimov did
a remarkable job

313
00:12:24,744 --> 00:12:28,225
of capturing the poetic terror
of the coming darkness?

314
00:12:28,269 --> 00:12:29,923
I'm not sure I got that.

315
00:12:29,966 --> 00:12:32,273
Oh, listen to this.

316
00:12:32,316 --> 00:12:35,102
"Dusk, like a palpable entity,

317
00:12:35,145 --> 00:12:37,800
"entered the room,
and the dancing circle

318
00:12:37,844 --> 00:12:39,628
"of yellow lights
about the torches

319
00:12:39,671 --> 00:12:41,717
"etched itself into
ever-sharper distinction

320
00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:45,068
against the gathering
grayness beyond."

321
00:12:49,246 --> 00:12:50,639
Powerful.

322
00:12:50,682 --> 00:12:52,119
Wasn't it?

323
00:12:57,211 --> 00:12:58,473
I'm going to Pastor Jeff's.

324
00:12:58,516 --> 00:13:00,823
Oh, uh, okay.
Good luck.

325
00:13:00,867 --> 00:13:02,259
Call if you need anything.

326
00:13:02,303 --> 00:13:03,695
Yeah.

327
00:13:03,739 --> 00:13:06,046
You know, I was thinking,
if you want,

328
00:13:06,089 --> 00:13:09,527
you could bring the baby here.
That could be fun.

329
00:13:09,571 --> 00:13:12,095
To a house that isn't
babyproofed?

330
00:13:12,139 --> 00:13:14,315
That seems irresponsible.

331
00:13:14,358 --> 00:13:16,534
Uh-huh.

332
00:13:18,232 --> 00:13:20,016
[phone rings]Hello?

333
00:13:20,060 --> 00:13:21,017
Hi, it's Dale.

334
00:13:21,061 --> 00:13:22,671
Listen, you gotta
tell your dad.

335
00:13:22,714 --> 00:13:24,455
Well, I will, eventually.

336
00:13:24,499 --> 00:13:26,153
Well, if you don't,
I'm gonna.

337
00:13:26,196 --> 00:13:28,242
I just need more time
to figure things out.

338
00:13:28,285 --> 00:13:30,418
Well, your dad's
sniffing around here,

339
00:13:30,461 --> 00:13:31,854
he's asking a lot of questions.

340
00:13:31,898 --> 00:13:33,464
What kind of questions?

341
00:13:33,508 --> 00:13:36,076
Like why are you talking to me
instead of him?

342
00:13:36,119 --> 00:13:37,381
Why does he care?

343
00:13:37,425 --> 00:13:39,688
His feelings are hurt.That's weird.

344
00:13:39,731 --> 00:13:42,473
I know. 'Cause talking to you
ain't great.

345
00:13:43,735 --> 00:13:45,781
Can I get a hand
with something?

346
00:13:45,825 --> 00:13:49,263
Yeah. Oh, gotta go.
I love you, Mom. Bye-bye.

347
00:13:49,306 --> 00:13:50,873
Your mom's still alive?

348
00:13:50,917 --> 00:13:52,396
Huh?

349
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:57,793
"It was very horrible
to go mad and know

350
00:13:57,837 --> 00:13:59,142
"that you were going mad.

351
00:13:59,186 --> 00:14:02,929
"To know that
in a little minute,

352
00:14:02,972 --> 00:14:05,148
"you would be here physically,

353
00:14:05,192 --> 00:14:07,455
"and yet all the real essence

354
00:14:07,498 --> 00:14:10,719
"would be dead and drowned

355
00:14:10,762 --> 00:14:13,287
in the black madness."

356
00:14:15,071 --> 00:14:16,638
Bravo.

357
00:14:18,335 --> 00:14:19,728
Now I would like to read

358
00:14:19,771 --> 00:14:21,164
one of my favorite passages
from the book.

359
00:14:21,208 --> 00:14:23,993
I feel like I am
all Asimov'd out.

360
00:14:24,037 --> 00:14:25,865
Let's hit the road.Very well.

361
00:14:25,908 --> 00:14:27,475
We can kick off
the next meeting with it.

362
00:14:27,518 --> 00:14:29,172
Perhaps I can bake
some cookies.

363
00:14:29,216 --> 00:14:31,218
I'm handy in the kitchen,
you know.

364
00:14:31,261 --> 00:14:32,132
[exhales sharply]

365
00:14:32,175 --> 00:14:34,090
I've had them,
and they're dry.

366
00:14:37,746 --> 00:14:39,661
Hey.Dad around?

367
00:14:39,704 --> 00:14:42,185
He's still at work.
Anything I can help you with?

368
00:14:42,229 --> 00:14:44,013
No, I just need to
talk to him.

369
00:14:44,057 --> 00:14:45,014
[door closes]

370
00:14:45,058 --> 00:14:47,103
I am never doing that again.

371
00:14:47,147 --> 00:14:49,453
Is the baby okay?Yeah.

372
00:14:49,497 --> 00:14:50,237
What's going on?

373
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,716
Babies are the worst.

374
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,153
That's what's going on.

375
00:14:53,196 --> 00:14:54,894
She babysat for the first time.

376
00:14:54,937 --> 00:14:56,112
And the last time.

377
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:59,376
Oh, I'm sure it wasn't
that bad.

378
00:14:59,420 --> 00:15:00,856
Look at this.

379
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:04,077
Food, powder, vomit, pee.

380
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,687
You don't want to know.

381
00:15:05,730 --> 00:15:07,123
You should have called me.

382
00:15:07,167 --> 00:15:10,344
When? I didn't have
a minute to myself.

383
00:15:10,387 --> 00:15:11,432
You were so right.

384
00:15:11,475 --> 00:15:13,956
Well, it's not about
me being right.

385
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,567
I need a shower
and a bath.

386
00:15:16,611 --> 00:15:19,092
Never again!

387
00:15:21,877 --> 00:15:23,270
You okay?

388
00:15:23,313 --> 00:15:24,706
Uh-huh.

389
00:15:24,749 --> 00:15:26,360
MISSY:
Never again!

390
00:15:27,578 --> 00:15:29,754
I hope you enjoyed that
as much as I did.

391
00:15:29,798 --> 00:15:31,626
Not exactly.

392
00:15:31,669 --> 00:15:33,889
Why? Why?

393
00:15:33,933 --> 00:15:36,413
After Frick and Frack
found out I was single,

394
00:15:36,457 --> 00:15:37,849
they got all weird.

395
00:15:37,893 --> 00:15:38,807
What do you mean?

396
00:15:38,850 --> 00:15:40,156
All they did was
discuss Asimov.

397
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,246
Sure. Maybe I misread
the situation.

398
00:15:43,290 --> 00:15:46,684
I can't believe you'd use
our book club to hit on Connie.

399
00:15:46,728 --> 00:15:49,818
And you didn't, Captain Cookies?

400
00:15:49,861 --> 00:15:51,211
All right, if we're both
gonna pursue her,

401
00:15:51,254 --> 00:15:53,256
let's lay down
some ground rules.Fair enough.

402
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:55,911
And my ginger snaps are
moist and delicious!

403
00:15:55,955 --> 00:15:57,608
Yeah, keep telling
yourself that.

404
00:15:57,652 --> 00:16:00,133
But hearing you boys
go on about it

405
00:16:00,176 --> 00:16:01,917
did remind me of Pop Pop.

406
00:16:01,961 --> 00:16:03,440
What did he used to say?

407
00:16:03,484 --> 00:16:04,572
[chuckles]

408
00:16:04,615 --> 00:16:06,008
I wish I could remember.

409
00:16:06,052 --> 00:16:08,793
But he did get all
excited about it, like you.

410
00:16:08,837 --> 00:16:11,535
Well, at least I have
Dr. Sturgis and Dr. Linkletter

411
00:16:11,579 --> 00:16:12,972
to share my enthusiasm.

412
00:16:13,015 --> 00:16:15,104
Rule number one,
no badmouthing each other

413
00:16:15,148 --> 00:16:16,714
to gain favor with Connie.

414
00:16:16,758 --> 00:16:18,629
Agreed.
And whatever happens,

415
00:16:18,673 --> 00:16:21,371
we can't let it affect
our working relationship.

416
00:16:21,415 --> 00:16:23,721
Our working relationship
is already antagonistic.

417
00:16:23,765 --> 00:16:25,245
True. What's next?

418
00:16:25,288 --> 00:16:27,421
No using Sheldon to win
points with Connie.

419
00:16:27,464 --> 00:16:29,858
But he likes me
better than you.

420
00:16:29,901 --> 00:16:30,990
That's why I brought it up.

421
00:16:31,033 --> 00:16:32,556
Fine.Fine.

422
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:33,253
Fine.Fine!

423
00:16:38,127 --> 00:16:39,259
[machine beeps]

424
00:16:39,302 --> 00:16:41,174
LINKLETTER:
Connie, Grant Linkletter.

425
00:16:41,217 --> 00:16:42,914
Wonderful seeing you tonight.

426
00:16:42,958 --> 00:16:44,090
Yeah, yeah.

427
00:16:44,133 --> 00:16:45,352
Hope you enjoyed
our little book club.

428
00:16:45,395 --> 00:16:47,354
If you'd ever like to
discuss it further,

429
00:16:47,397 --> 00:16:49,269
I know the perfect
Italian café.

430
00:16:49,312 --> 00:16:51,358
The cannolis are resplendent.

431
00:16:51,401 --> 00:16:53,534
Resplendent!
[chuckles]

432
00:16:53,577 --> 00:16:54,665
[answering machine beeps]

433
00:16:54,709 --> 00:16:55,405
STURGIS: Connie!

434
00:16:55,449 --> 00:16:57,320
John Sturgis here.

435
00:16:57,364 --> 00:16:58,713
What a surprise.

436
00:16:58,756 --> 00:17:01,455
It was so nice to have you
at our book club.

437
00:17:01,498 --> 00:17:03,500
When it comes to
science fiction,

438
00:17:03,544 --> 00:17:06,895
those things can be
real sausage parties.

439
00:17:06,938 --> 00:17:09,202
Anyhoo, if you're free
next week,

440
00:17:09,244 --> 00:17:11,421
I was wondering
if you'd like to...

441
00:17:11,464 --> 00:17:12,727
[machine beeps]

442
00:17:12,770 --> 00:17:14,511
LINKLETTER:
Grant Linkletter again.

443
00:17:14,555 --> 00:17:15,817
If you don't like Italian,

444
00:17:15,859 --> 00:17:17,775
I also know a sublime
Vietnamese spot.

445
00:17:17,819 --> 00:17:19,820
Have you ever tried
Bún Boò Hue?

446
00:17:19,864 --> 00:17:21,214
[machine beeps]

447
00:17:21,257 --> 00:17:23,346
STURGIS: I don't know why
I said "sausage party."

448
00:17:23,390 --> 00:17:24,955
There was probably a better way

449
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,828
to phrase that.[machine beeps]

450
00:17:26,871 --> 00:17:28,917
LINKLETTER:
Connie, Grant Linkletter...

451
00:17:31,050 --> 00:17:32,355
Hey.

452
00:17:32,399 --> 00:17:33,791
Your mother said you wanted
to talk to me?

453
00:17:33,835 --> 00:17:36,229
Yeah. Come in.

454
00:17:40,972 --> 00:17:42,931
So, what's going on?

455
00:17:43,932 --> 00:17:45,629
It's kind of hard
to talk about.

456
00:17:46,456 --> 00:17:49,677
Whatever it is,
I'm here for you.

457
00:17:51,722 --> 00:17:54,029
I...

458
00:17:54,073 --> 00:17:55,987
I got a girl pregnant.
