1
00:00:04,927 --> 00:00:07,304
Before I started working
at Techtropolis,
2
00:00:07,387 --> 00:00:09,348
I learned everything about it...
3
00:00:09,431 --> 00:00:11,350
the products they sell,
4
00:00:11,433 --> 00:00:13,769
the rules and procedures for employees,
5
00:00:14,686 --> 00:00:17,898
how not to tell customers
they smell bad even if they do.
6
00:00:18,190 --> 00:00:21,193
And I had a sit-down with Bob,
the manager,
7
00:00:21,276 --> 00:00:23,779
who has hairy knuckles, but is nice.
8
00:00:23,862 --> 00:00:24,905
Sam?
9
00:00:25,656 --> 00:00:27,366
Your shift ended 20 minutes ago.
10
00:00:27,991 --> 00:00:29,034
Is everything okay?
11
00:00:29,117 --> 00:00:30,369
Yes, I'm fine, thank you.
12
00:00:30,452 --> 00:00:32,913
I had curly fries for lunch,
and I have a girlfriend now.
13
00:00:34,373 --> 00:00:36,250
Okay. Wow!
14
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,253
Congratulations. Tell me about her.
15
00:00:39,336 --> 00:00:41,880
You know, what's the lucky lady's name?
Which one?
16
00:00:41,964 --> 00:00:43,048
Your girlfriend.
17
00:00:43,924 --> 00:00:46,885
Oh. Her name is Paige,
and she has blonde hair.
18
00:00:46,969 --> 00:00:49,179
She's bossy and touches all of my stuff.
19
00:00:49,263 --> 00:00:51,139
She was born in New Jersey
20
00:00:51,223 --> 00:00:54,810
in the same town as Queen Latifah,
and she's coming over today after work.
21
00:00:57,729 --> 00:00:59,648
Oh, yeah. I get it.
22
00:01:00,857 --> 00:01:02,442
I have a wife, so...
23
00:01:04,861 --> 00:01:06,572
You take all the time you need.
24
00:01:09,199 --> 00:01:10,993
I don't always love new things,
25
00:01:11,076 --> 00:01:13,912
but that's just a smart
survival instinct.
26
00:01:14,705 --> 00:01:17,207
Do you think that a bearded seal
would last very long
27
00:01:17,291 --> 00:01:19,960
if it said, "Well,
I've never seen that animal before
28
00:01:20,043 --> 00:01:22,254
with the sharp teeth
and beautiful white fur.
29
00:01:22,337 --> 00:01:23,839
I'll walk over and meet him."
30
00:01:24,923 --> 00:01:26,091
No.
31
00:01:26,174 --> 00:01:29,636
No, he wouldn't, because that's how
you become a polar bear's dinner.
32
00:01:49,364 --> 00:01:51,783
You nervous about tomorrow?
No.
33
00:01:51,867 --> 00:01:53,535
Oh, you're, like, freaking out.
34
00:01:53,619 --> 00:01:54,911
Kind of.
35
00:01:54,995 --> 00:01:58,582
Well, hey,
just remember they recruited you.
36
00:01:58,665 --> 00:02:02,377
So just, you know, keep your pants on
and don't curse so much. You'll be fine.
37
00:02:02,461 --> 00:02:04,880
I have to keep my pants on
at the interview, really?
38
00:02:04,963 --> 00:02:07,007
Yeah, call me old fashioned, but...
39
00:02:07,090 --> 00:02:10,802
I know that the athletic department
wants me, but I still have the interview.
40
00:02:10,886 --> 00:02:14,181
And then I need to prove that I'm not
just a dum-dum who can run fast.
41
00:02:14,264 --> 00:02:17,726
Hey, you're not just a dum-dum
that can run fast. You're also very hot.
42
00:02:21,980 --> 00:02:23,398
It feels like a big deal.
43
00:02:24,691 --> 00:02:26,860
Yeah, well, I mean, it is a big deal.
It is.
44
00:02:26,943 --> 00:02:28,528
Be nervous, that's okay.
45
00:02:29,988 --> 00:02:31,198
You'll be fine.
46
00:02:43,293 --> 00:02:44,753
Door open!
47
00:02:44,836 --> 00:02:47,464
Jesus!
It's like she has a nanny cam in here.
48
00:02:58,225 --> 00:03:01,603
This is for the people
Supermodels in one spot
49
00:03:01,686 --> 00:03:02,562
No, no, no.
50
00:03:02,646 --> 00:03:04,147
You ain't gotta say a word
51
00:03:04,231 --> 00:03:06,316
I know what time it is
52
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,110
Time to celebrate
53
00:03:08,193 --> 00:03:09,945
We...
54
00:03:14,157 --> 00:03:16,660
Are you insane?
Where are you calling from?
55
00:03:16,743 --> 00:03:19,871
I can barely hear you.
The laundry room. I'm running the dryer.
56
00:03:19,955 --> 00:03:21,039
That's a loud dryer.
57
00:03:21,123 --> 00:03:23,750
Listen, the last time we spoke,
58
00:03:23,834 --> 00:03:26,837
I made it very,
very clear that we are done.
59
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:29,381
Why are you doing inviting me
to your birthday party?
60
00:03:30,841 --> 00:03:32,008
Shit.
61
00:03:32,092 --> 00:03:35,345
Yeah, um, sorry about that.
You weren't supposed to get that.
62
00:03:36,388 --> 00:03:37,388
I wasn't?
63
00:03:37,431 --> 00:03:40,350
No, I accidentally sent that out
to my entire address book.
64
00:03:40,434 --> 00:03:42,561
My dry cleaner just RSVPed.
65
00:03:43,437 --> 00:03:45,772
I, uh, might have been a bit stoned
when I sent it.
66
00:03:46,481 --> 00:03:48,275
I just got it two minutes ago.
67
00:03:48,358 --> 00:03:50,402
Yeah,
I might be a little bit stoned now.
68
00:03:51,069 --> 00:03:53,780
Okay. Great, I'm gonna hang up now.
69
00:03:54,573 --> 00:03:56,408
Um, Nick?
70
00:03:56,491 --> 00:03:57,409
Mm-hmm.
71
00:03:57,492 --> 00:03:59,077
Um, I'm sorry...
72
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,204
about the other night.
73
00:04:01,288 --> 00:04:04,082
I shouldn't have called you
a terrible person.
74
00:04:04,166 --> 00:04:07,169
Yeah. You hurt my feelings.
Come over and apologize.
75
00:04:07,252 --> 00:04:08,462
Shut up.
76
00:04:08,545 --> 00:04:12,382
I'm saying I shouldn't have blamed you
for what happened between us.
77
00:04:12,466 --> 00:04:13,550
It was my fault, too.
78
00:04:13,633 --> 00:04:17,179
It's just made me realize how precious
79
00:04:17,262 --> 00:04:20,390
and fragile my family is, you know?
80
00:04:20,474 --> 00:04:22,726
It's like a wake-up call,
because since then,
81
00:04:22,809 --> 00:04:25,520
I feel like I've been
more present and kind.
82
00:04:25,604 --> 00:04:29,441
Hey, you know what? I'm actually at work
right now, so I can't talk, but uh...
83
00:04:29,524 --> 00:04:31,526
See you at my birthday party?
What?
84
00:04:32,527 --> 00:04:35,071
Elsa, I'm kidding.
Okay, goodbye.
85
00:04:38,575 --> 00:04:40,410
I'm disappointed at myself.
86
00:04:45,540 --> 00:04:47,501
This isn't me. I'm better than this.
87
00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:51,296
I'm not a snooping, paranoid girlfriend.
88
00:04:51,379 --> 00:04:54,257
But I'm, like,
90% sure he's hiding something from me.
89
00:04:54,341 --> 00:04:57,344
I spent all night Googling those
car tracker thingys from Breaking Bad.
90
00:04:57,427 --> 00:04:59,846
All of this for a strawberry.
91
00:04:59,930 --> 00:05:02,432
A chocolate-covered strawberry.
92
00:05:02,516 --> 00:05:04,810
That's a sexually charged fruit.
93
00:05:04,893 --> 00:05:06,186
He's cheating on me.
94
00:05:06,269 --> 00:05:08,897
As someone with a PhD
in clinical psychology,
95
00:05:08,980 --> 00:05:10,982
my formal diagnosis for you
96
00:05:11,066 --> 00:05:12,901
is you're cray.
97
00:05:12,984 --> 00:05:13,860
I am not!
98
00:05:13,944 --> 00:05:15,445
If you guys were in a good place,
99
00:05:15,529 --> 00:05:17,531
this strawberry would be
something you'd laugh off.
100
00:05:17,614 --> 00:05:21,535
But it's been five years,
he still hasn't proposed,
101
00:05:21,618 --> 00:05:24,704
and it's making you, well, cray.
102
00:05:24,788 --> 00:05:27,040
No, this isn't about him proposing.
103
00:05:27,123 --> 00:05:29,376
This is about that damn strawberry.
104
00:05:29,459 --> 00:05:31,711
Fine. Your worst fears are confirmed.
105
00:05:31,795 --> 00:05:34,381
He bought those strawberries
for some other girl,
106
00:05:34,464 --> 00:05:35,924
and they're getting married.
107
00:05:36,007 --> 00:05:37,759
You should probably live in a ditch.
108
00:05:38,426 --> 00:05:40,595
Thank you. That's all I wanted to hear.
109
00:05:42,097 --> 00:05:43,097
Okay.
110
00:05:48,144 --> 00:05:49,144
Hey, you two.
111
00:05:49,187 --> 00:05:51,273
Paige, I didn't expect to see you today.
112
00:05:51,356 --> 00:05:52,816
She waited for me at the bus stop,
113
00:05:52,899 --> 00:05:55,402
and she made me carry her Thermos,
which is nickel-plated,
114
00:05:55,485 --> 00:05:57,654
so it was very cold.
She talked the whole way.
115
00:05:57,737 --> 00:06:01,491
This is the first time she's not talking.
It's true.
116
00:06:01,575 --> 00:06:03,493
You are spending a lot of time together.
117
00:06:03,577 --> 00:06:05,203
Well, that's what couples do.
118
00:06:06,371 --> 00:06:09,666
Couples. "That's what couples do."
Sounds very official.
119
00:06:10,375 --> 00:06:13,295
Oh. Well, actually, I brought a snack.
120
00:06:13,378 --> 00:06:17,299
But it's that dense, chewy kind, that
maybe you can't eat the whole thing.
121
00:06:17,382 --> 00:06:18,925
So, do you want to go halfsies?
122
00:06:19,009 --> 00:06:22,304
We could be like Arctic foxes
sharing food with our den mates.
123
00:06:23,638 --> 00:06:24,681
Card.
124
00:06:26,766 --> 00:06:27,767
Thank you.
125
00:06:29,477 --> 00:06:33,189
It's a system I developed so Sam doesn't
annoy people with Antarctica facts.
126
00:06:33,273 --> 00:06:35,817
I give him three cards
at the beginning of every day,
127
00:06:35,901 --> 00:06:38,153
and when he talks about Antarctica,
I take one away.
128
00:06:38,236 --> 00:06:41,865
When he's out of cards, he can't talk
about it anymore. Right, Sam?
129
00:06:41,948 --> 00:06:43,950
I decorated it with puffy paint.
130
00:06:44,993 --> 00:06:46,578
Sam, are you okay with this?
131
00:06:46,661 --> 00:06:50,206
I think it's dumb, but other people seem
to be happy, mostly Paige.
132
00:06:55,086 --> 00:06:57,797
Arctic foxes tend
to form monogamous pairs...
133
00:06:57,881 --> 00:07:03,470
and their litters can contain
as many as 25 kits.
134
00:07:03,553 --> 00:07:04,846
Twenty-five!
135
00:07:05,347 --> 00:07:06,348
Wow!
136
00:07:06,431 --> 00:07:09,517
I'm actually not surprised
that it's a little bit messy in here.
137
00:07:09,601 --> 00:07:11,770
I've been doing research,
and while some think
138
00:07:11,853 --> 00:07:15,023
that people on the spectrum
are always neat, sometimes they're not.
139
00:07:15,106 --> 00:07:18,860
Can you imagine sharing a space
with 25 other foxes?
140
00:07:18,944 --> 00:07:21,154
Portland, Oregon.
I have a second cousin there.
141
00:07:21,237 --> 00:07:23,031
It'd be chaos.
It's a blizzard!
142
00:07:23,114 --> 00:07:24,240
Spin. Ooh, a compass.
143
00:07:24,324 --> 00:07:25,575
You're right at north!
144
00:07:25,659 --> 00:07:29,746
Whoa, look at this!
This is cool. Blast from the past.
145
00:07:29,829 --> 00:07:31,623
What kind of batteries does this take?
146
00:07:31,706 --> 00:07:34,501
Ooh, helicopters.
I like to call these choppers.
147
00:07:34,584 --> 00:07:36,127
What's this cool sculpture?
148
00:07:36,211 --> 00:07:38,505
Is it a sculpture?
How many of these would fit in...
149
00:07:38,588 --> 00:07:40,924
It could be a hat!
Should we see? So many books.
150
00:07:41,007 --> 00:07:43,677
You can store trinkets in here.
I use a highlighter for...
151
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,722
This would look better by your bed.
Ooh, what's this blue thing?
152
00:07:47,806 --> 00:07:49,641
Your pencils... Right here.
153
00:07:49,724 --> 00:07:51,518
I wouldn't like sharing my den.
154
00:07:51,601 --> 00:07:53,061
Oh!
155
00:07:53,853 --> 00:07:55,939
Look at this little guy.
156
00:07:56,523 --> 00:07:57,899
Somebody wants to snuggle.
157
00:07:57,983 --> 00:07:59,901
No! Do not snuggle Edison.
158
00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:03,321
Hey, buddy!
159
00:08:08,410 --> 00:08:09,744
Hey, Sam, what's going on?
160
00:08:10,328 --> 00:08:11,579
Hi, Mr. Gardner!
161
00:08:13,498 --> 00:08:16,209
Is there a lady in your closet?
Yes. Paige.
162
00:08:16,292 --> 00:08:19,004
She was touching all of my stuff,
so I locked her in there.
163
00:08:19,087 --> 00:08:21,548
Hey, uh,
can I get some pretzels in here?
164
00:08:21,631 --> 00:08:25,135
No. Sam, move.
You don't lock girls in your closet.
165
00:08:25,218 --> 00:08:26,761
Paige, I'm sorry. Are you okay?
166
00:08:26,845 --> 00:08:28,013
Oh, yeah, I'm fine.
167
00:08:28,096 --> 00:08:29,139
Are you sure?
Yeah.
168
00:08:29,222 --> 00:08:31,891
Sam, apologize to Paige right now, okay?
Say you're sorry.
169
00:08:31,975 --> 00:08:33,685
But I'm not. I did what I needed to do.
170
00:08:33,768 --> 00:08:35,645
Sam!
It's okay.
171
00:08:35,729 --> 00:08:37,939
I know from my research
that sometimes people
172
00:08:38,023 --> 00:08:39,703
with ASD have outsized
reactions to stuff.
173
00:08:40,275 --> 00:08:42,736
I mean, let's be honest, I know that...
174
00:08:42,819 --> 00:08:45,030
I can be a handful,
even for neurotypicals.
175
00:08:45,113 --> 00:08:48,324
So, I figured I'd give Sam a break
to recharge his batteries.
176
00:08:48,408 --> 00:08:50,660
It was only ten minutes. That's nothing.
177
00:08:50,744 --> 00:08:53,371
Researchers
at Antarctica's Halley VI Station
178
00:08:53,455 --> 00:08:55,957
live in 24-hour darkness for months.
179
00:08:56,041 --> 00:08:57,083
Last one.
180
00:08:57,167 --> 00:08:58,167
Card.
181
00:09:02,797 --> 00:09:04,424
I should probably get home.
182
00:09:04,507 --> 00:09:08,219
Oh, and Sam, I refolded all of your
socks in a totally better way. Bye.
183
00:09:10,388 --> 00:09:11,598
Bye, Paige.
184
00:09:13,641 --> 00:09:16,644
Sam, that... that's weird.
185
00:09:17,228 --> 00:09:20,023
Hey, Dad,
did Mom used to touch all of your stuff?
186
00:09:20,106 --> 00:09:21,566
How did you get her to stop?
187
00:09:22,817 --> 00:09:24,152
Um...
188
00:09:25,195 --> 00:09:26,905
I don't think I ever did.
189
00:09:27,864 --> 00:09:28,864
Hmm.
190
00:09:36,331 --> 00:09:39,000
Oh, my gosh. Look at you.
191
00:09:39,084 --> 00:09:40,835
You look so pretty.
192
00:09:42,170 --> 00:09:44,839
Maybe different shoes.
Mom.
193
00:09:46,424 --> 00:09:50,845
Honey, I want you to know that
I am fully on board
194
00:09:51,554 --> 00:09:53,264
for you to attend Clayton Prep.
195
00:09:53,848 --> 00:09:56,017
Oh, yeah? Does this have anything to do
196
00:09:56,101 --> 00:09:59,395
with the five-hour conversation
that you and Dad had the other day?
197
00:09:59,479 --> 00:10:01,731
It took me some time, but I got there.
198
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,528
And the distance and the money and Sam,
we'll figure it out.
199
00:10:06,611 --> 00:10:08,863
Oh, that reminds me. Sam?
200
00:10:11,616 --> 00:10:15,328
We have the Clayton tour, so I won't be
in school to give you your lunch money.
201
00:10:15,411 --> 00:10:19,374
But Evan's sister Beth will hold onto it
and find you during fifth period.
202
00:10:19,457 --> 00:10:20,750
Do you know who Beth is?
203
00:10:21,459 --> 00:10:24,170
Yes, she talks loud.
Why are you wearing a dress?
204
00:10:24,254 --> 00:10:28,049
Do they need to see how muscly your legs
are to know if they want you on the team?
205
00:10:28,133 --> 00:10:31,928
Let's go. You don't want to be late
before you actually go to the school.
206
00:10:32,011 --> 00:10:34,347
Look. You're wearing the Clayton colors.
207
00:10:34,430 --> 00:10:37,058
That is not on purpose.
You wear that shirt every day.
208
00:10:37,142 --> 00:10:38,768
Still, he looks very nice.
209
00:10:41,729 --> 00:10:43,022
We're a beautiful family.
210
00:10:46,276 --> 00:10:47,276
Hey.
211
00:10:57,537 --> 00:10:58,872
Why is she being so nice?
212
00:10:58,955 --> 00:11:01,166
I don't know, but don't jinx it.
You look good.
213
00:11:01,249 --> 00:11:02,750
Let's go.
Thanks.
214
00:11:17,765 --> 00:11:20,310
I heard the guide
call this the Peace Garden.
215
00:11:20,393 --> 00:11:21,895
It's so beautiful here.
216
00:11:21,978 --> 00:11:23,646
Very nice. It's very fancy.
217
00:11:24,397 --> 00:11:28,026
I bet you these people eat cashews.
You know, cashews is the rich man's nut.
218
00:11:28,109 --> 00:11:30,778
Yeah, they even had real towels
in the girls' bathroom.
219
00:11:30,862 --> 00:11:32,614
This place is classy.
220
00:11:32,697 --> 00:11:35,491
We're classy.
Middle classy.
221
00:11:35,575 --> 00:11:38,328
Honey, you've always been
so mature and sophisticated.
222
00:11:38,411 --> 00:11:39,746
You'll fit right in here.
223
00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:42,165
Mom, I punched a girl
in the face two weeks ago.
224
00:11:42,248 --> 00:11:44,167
Honey, they don't know that, okay?
225
00:11:44,250 --> 00:11:45,710
Look. Look at that girl.
226
00:11:45,793 --> 00:11:48,546
In her little uniform,
marching towards her future
227
00:11:48,630 --> 00:11:50,381
with that big backpack.
228
00:11:50,465 --> 00:11:51,925
That's gonna be you next year.
229
00:11:52,675 --> 00:11:54,177
Fresh start.
230
00:12:05,438 --> 00:12:06,481
Hi, Sam.
231
00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:11,736
That's my sweatshirt.
You're wearing my sweatshirt.
232
00:12:11,819 --> 00:12:14,656
When I was locked in your closet,
I got cold, so I put it on.
233
00:12:14,739 --> 00:12:17,533
But it was so cute and cozy
that I decided to steal it.
234
00:12:17,617 --> 00:12:19,827
I love it.
It's like you're hugging me all day.
235
00:12:20,411 --> 00:12:21,871
But that's my sweatshirt.
236
00:12:21,955 --> 00:12:23,539
I had the best idea!
237
00:12:23,623 --> 00:12:25,458
Do you want to hear it?
Sweatshirt.
238
00:12:25,541 --> 00:12:29,545
You could drop your study hall and take
French with me. Sam, it would be so fun.
239
00:12:29,629 --> 00:12:32,173
And it's the most romantic language
in the world.
240
00:12:32,256 --> 00:12:36,844
And who knows?
Maybe one day, we could travel to Paris
241
00:12:36,928 --> 00:12:39,472
and kiss in front of the Eiffel Tower
or something.
242
00:12:39,555 --> 00:12:40,640
That's my sweatshirt.
243
00:12:40,723 --> 00:12:43,184
There are three options
for an animal in the wild
244
00:12:43,267 --> 00:12:45,603
when faced with a new
dangerous situation.
245
00:12:45,687 --> 00:12:46,687
They can run...
246
00:12:47,897 --> 00:12:49,023
they can attack...
247
00:12:53,569 --> 00:12:54,904
or they can hide.
248
00:13:07,625 --> 00:13:08,918
Casey.
249
00:13:09,002 --> 00:13:10,712
I'm Jayson. Nice to meet you.
250
00:13:10,795 --> 00:13:13,214
Hey. You, too. You look familiar.
251
00:13:13,297 --> 00:13:15,299
I'm black,
so they put me on the brochures.
252
00:13:15,383 --> 00:13:17,802
Oh, yeah, that's it.
Come on.
253
00:13:17,885 --> 00:13:18,885
Okay.
254
00:13:20,054 --> 00:13:22,306
So we do peer interviews here.
255
00:13:22,390 --> 00:13:24,892
It's supposed to make you
feel more comfortable,
256
00:13:24,976 --> 00:13:28,021
and I must be crushing it
because you seem comfortable, so...
257
00:13:28,104 --> 00:13:29,856
Oh, um...
258
00:13:29,939 --> 00:13:33,401
I'm... I swear I'm just like a little...
Completely nervous.
259
00:13:33,860 --> 00:13:36,321
It's just my other school
is not this nice.
260
00:13:37,030 --> 00:13:39,991
You guys don't have a yoga room
or bio-sustainable duck pond?
261
00:13:40,074 --> 00:13:41,951
No. No, we don't.
262
00:13:42,327 --> 00:13:44,412
Look, I get it.
263
00:13:44,495 --> 00:13:47,331
But this place is pretty cool
once you get used to it.
264
00:13:47,915 --> 00:13:49,792
Promise.
265
00:13:50,334 --> 00:13:51,627
Um...
266
00:13:52,712 --> 00:13:54,088
You gonna turn that off or...
267
00:13:55,548 --> 00:13:56,758
Um...
268
00:13:56,841 --> 00:13:58,176
Hey, Beth, what's going on?
269
00:13:58,259 --> 00:14:01,345
I know I was supposed to give Sam
his lunch money, but I can't find him.
270
00:14:01,429 --> 00:14:03,931
I don't know where he is.
Okay, calm down. Um...
271
00:14:04,015 --> 00:14:07,226
What about Paige, did you ask her?
Yeah. She hasn't seen him.
272
00:14:07,310 --> 00:14:10,480
Now he'll miss lunch, the second-most
important meal of the day.
273
00:14:10,563 --> 00:14:12,440
Okay. That's okay. I'm gonna text him.
274
00:14:12,523 --> 00:14:13,858
Thank you for trying, Beth.
275
00:14:13,941 --> 00:14:17,028
Seriously? I knew you were nervous,
but picking up a phone call
276
00:14:17,111 --> 00:14:19,364
during an interview,
and now you're texting.
277
00:14:19,447 --> 00:14:22,325
Are you trying to blow this?
My brother's autistic.
278
00:14:25,078 --> 00:14:26,496
Well, I'm a dick.
279
00:14:26,579 --> 00:14:28,247
No, that's okay. You didn't know.
280
00:14:28,331 --> 00:14:31,918
I just have to answer my phone in case
he's freaking out or he disappeared,
281
00:14:32,001 --> 00:14:33,628
which is what happened right now.
282
00:14:33,711 --> 00:14:35,338
It's kind of my job as his sister.
283
00:14:35,922 --> 00:14:37,799
That must be hard for you.
284
00:14:37,882 --> 00:14:40,468
Yeah, it has its moments.
285
00:14:40,551 --> 00:14:44,472
Okay. Found him. He is hiding
from his girlfriend in the science lab.
286
00:14:47,016 --> 00:14:48,601
Okay. Seems like we're all good.
287
00:14:48,684 --> 00:14:49,727
Wow.
288
00:14:50,061 --> 00:14:51,729
Okay, so...
289
00:14:52,772 --> 00:14:54,732
you said that it has its moments.
290
00:14:54,816 --> 00:14:56,025
Mm-hmm.
291
00:14:56,109 --> 00:14:57,235
Tell me about 'em.
292
00:14:58,486 --> 00:14:59,612
Okay.
293
00:15:00,947 --> 00:15:02,031
Well...
294
00:15:04,659 --> 00:15:06,244
So when I was growing up,
295
00:15:06,786 --> 00:15:08,746
my mom and brother
used to refer to people
296
00:15:08,830 --> 00:15:11,707
who weren't on the spectrum
as neurotypicals...
297
00:15:11,791 --> 00:15:13,501
"NTs" for short.
298
00:15:14,252 --> 00:15:17,092
But when I was little, I always thought
that they were saying "empties,"
299
00:15:17,839 --> 00:15:19,799
which made sense because...
300
00:15:21,134 --> 00:15:22,885
sometimes it feels like
301
00:15:22,969 --> 00:15:25,054
Sam takes up so much space
302
00:15:25,638 --> 00:15:28,474
that everybody around him needs
to be empty.
303
00:15:33,271 --> 00:15:35,106
Sorry, I don't know why I told you that.
304
00:15:35,857 --> 00:15:37,608
If you were to come here,
305
00:15:37,775 --> 00:15:39,944
what's it going to be like
to leave your brother?
306
00:15:42,155 --> 00:15:44,949
I don't know. I never did it before.
307
00:15:47,869 --> 00:15:49,579
I don't want her to be cold,
308
00:15:49,662 --> 00:15:51,789
I want her
to be a comfortable temperature.
309
00:15:51,873 --> 00:15:54,709
But it's my sweatshirt, and I need it.
310
00:15:54,792 --> 00:15:57,462
Wh... when I'm anxious, especially,
or overwhelmed,
311
00:15:57,545 --> 00:16:00,089
because that's why I have it
in the first place.
312
00:16:06,095 --> 00:16:09,515
Are you just gonna sit there staring,
because it's super weird.
313
00:16:09,599 --> 00:16:11,017
Be cool, babe.
314
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:13,311
Sam's got a real problem
with his girlfriend.
315
00:16:13,394 --> 00:16:15,730
Practice girlfriend.
See? It's weird.
316
00:16:15,813 --> 00:16:16,856
You're weird.
317
00:16:16,939 --> 00:16:18,816
Everybody's weird.
318
00:16:18,900 --> 00:16:20,318
It's awesome.
319
00:16:20,401 --> 00:16:22,528
Come on, Kayla,
you're great at this stuff.
320
00:16:22,612 --> 00:16:25,156
Help my boy out so we can
get back to the cha-cha. Arr.
321
00:16:25,948 --> 00:16:26,991
Fine.
322
00:16:27,074 --> 00:16:30,077
Look, I don't know this chick,
but girls like to wear something
323
00:16:30,161 --> 00:16:32,955
that reminds them of their boyfriend
when he's not around.
324
00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:35,750
But I need my sweatshirt.
How do I get it back?
325
00:16:35,833 --> 00:16:38,711
I don't know, maybe give her
something else to replace it.
326
00:16:41,088 --> 00:16:43,758
That's extremely wise.
I told you, dude.
327
00:16:43,841 --> 00:16:45,092
Kayla's a total genius.
328
00:16:45,176 --> 00:16:46,552
Plus, she works at Claire's.
329
00:16:46,636 --> 00:16:50,223
She can pierce whatever you want
for half price, except scrotes.
330
00:16:50,306 --> 00:16:53,434
I don't want her handling some other
dude's dangle-downs, know what I'm saying?
331
00:16:55,353 --> 00:16:56,353
No.
332
00:16:57,021 --> 00:16:59,273
Oh, my goodness, that was fun.
333
00:17:00,107 --> 00:17:04,695
Casey, you need to write that nice boy
that interviewed you a thank you e-mail.
334
00:17:04,779 --> 00:17:06,405
No, that is super nerdy.
335
00:17:06,489 --> 00:17:09,200
Yeah, well, nerdy's good.
Nerds get full scholarships.
336
00:17:09,283 --> 00:17:10,826
You want to go there, right?
337
00:17:11,994 --> 00:17:14,288
Um...
Yeah, you do. I can tell.
338
00:17:14,622 --> 00:17:15,622
Whatever.
339
00:17:16,791 --> 00:17:19,085
Hey. I had fun with you today.
340
00:17:19,168 --> 00:17:21,629
Me, too. It was nice to get away, right?
Yeah.
341
00:17:21,712 --> 00:17:24,048
Oh. Who is this?
342
00:17:26,092 --> 00:17:29,178
Oh, it's Chuck. Him and Donna
are gonna be in the neighborhood
343
00:17:29,262 --> 00:17:31,764
and want a dinner recommendation.
Know any good places?
344
00:17:31,847 --> 00:17:33,849
Mm-hmm. Here.
345
00:17:33,933 --> 00:17:34,976
What, to eat?
Yeah.
346
00:17:35,059 --> 00:17:37,061
I'm making carnitas.
We can have a fiesta.
347
00:17:37,144 --> 00:17:39,438
But we never have people over
on a school night.
348
00:17:39,522 --> 00:17:42,275
We never have people over anyway.
Let's do it.
349
00:17:42,358 --> 00:17:45,778
Let's be those people that have friends
over on a school night,
350
00:17:45,861 --> 00:17:47,238
on a Tuesday.
Let's get crazy.
351
00:17:47,321 --> 00:17:49,198
Yeah.
Yeah, what's going on with you?
352
00:17:53,286 --> 00:17:54,870
What's going on with your phone?
353
00:17:56,455 --> 00:17:58,541
You know what,
it's the autism support group.
354
00:17:58,624 --> 00:18:00,751
I-I gotta call Luisa.
Okay.
355
00:18:04,171 --> 00:18:05,423
It's Nick. Leave a message.
356
00:18:06,424 --> 00:18:07,842
Hi. It's Elsa.
357
00:18:07,925 --> 00:18:09,969
Listen, I am calling
358
00:18:10,052 --> 00:18:13,264
because every time someone RSVPs
to your party,
359
00:18:13,347 --> 00:18:14,473
I get an e-mail.
360
00:18:14,557 --> 00:18:18,436
And while I am thrilled to know
that you have a friend named Meatball
361
00:18:18,519 --> 00:18:21,147
who will be bringing special brownies,
362
00:18:21,230 --> 00:18:23,190
I don't need to hear about it.
363
00:18:23,274 --> 00:18:25,359
And what are you doing
having a birthday party?
364
00:18:25,443 --> 00:18:27,028
You're a grown man.
365
00:18:27,111 --> 00:18:31,449
Just have five or six of your friends
out to dinner, you order a cake.
366
00:18:31,532 --> 00:18:33,534
You don't sing,
you don't split the bill,
367
00:18:33,618 --> 00:18:35,244
and you call it a day. Okay?
368
00:18:35,328 --> 00:18:36,495
Goodbye.
369
00:18:42,585 --> 00:18:43,585
Hey, Casey.
370
00:18:44,670 --> 00:18:47,715
Uh, could we talk for a second?
It's about your brother Sam.
371
00:18:48,299 --> 00:18:49,967
I know who my brother is, Paige.
372
00:18:51,844 --> 00:18:53,220
Yeah. Um...
373
00:18:53,763 --> 00:18:56,766
It's just I think maybe he's avoiding me
374
00:18:56,849 --> 00:19:00,353
because we were talking yesterday,
and...
375
00:19:01,103 --> 00:19:02,897
I don't know, maybe I upset him,
376
00:19:02,980 --> 00:19:05,358
because he sort of
just disappeared after that.
377
00:19:07,151 --> 00:19:09,070
I don't know, maybe it's nothing.
378
00:19:09,654 --> 00:19:12,573
It's not nothing, because of you,
he didn't eat lunch yesterday.
379
00:19:13,908 --> 00:19:16,577
Which I know is an annoying thing
to have to think about
380
00:19:16,661 --> 00:19:20,247
when you're dating an 18-year-old dude,
but that's what you get with Sam.
381
00:19:21,707 --> 00:19:22,750
Um...
382
00:19:23,501 --> 00:19:24,543
Okay.
383
00:19:25,086 --> 00:19:26,379
Do you have any advice?
384
00:19:27,963 --> 00:19:29,924
Yeah. Stop seeing my brother.
385
00:19:30,925 --> 00:19:31,925
What?
386
00:19:31,967 --> 00:19:34,595
Why are you with him?
What's in it for you?
387
00:19:35,221 --> 00:19:39,517
Are you desperate, or do you think you'll
get extra credit for dating the weird kid?
388
00:19:40,101 --> 00:19:41,227
No.
389
00:19:42,395 --> 00:19:45,231
No, Casey, I... I really like Sam.
390
00:19:45,314 --> 00:19:47,108
Mm.
A lot.
391
00:19:47,942 --> 00:19:50,194
He's honest.
392
00:19:50,277 --> 00:19:52,571
And he's so cute.
393
00:19:52,655 --> 00:19:55,366
And have you seen his notebook thing?
394
00:19:55,449 --> 00:19:56,449
It's amazing.
395
00:19:56,492 --> 00:19:59,036
The way his brain works
is so interesting.
396
00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:02,039
Interesting?
My brother's not a science experiment.
397
00:20:02,707 --> 00:20:03,791
No, I know that.
398
00:20:03,874 --> 00:20:06,419
What happens when he relies on you,
then you leave?
399
00:20:06,502 --> 00:20:08,838
I'm not gonna...
'Cause then he'll need you.
400
00:20:09,588 --> 00:20:11,424
And that shit can really mess him up.
401
00:20:13,801 --> 00:20:16,303
You know,
you don't understand any of this.
402
00:20:17,179 --> 00:20:19,014
You're just making everything worse.
403
00:20:40,911 --> 00:20:43,706
Baby
404
00:20:44,457 --> 00:20:47,793
Don't go
405
00:20:47,877 --> 00:20:51,380
I'll stop
406
00:20:51,464 --> 00:20:55,176
Breathing coke
407
00:20:55,259 --> 00:21:00,181
No more bloody
408
00:21:00,264 --> 00:21:03,893
Look into the glare and pop it,
brother Slick like 007, man
409
00:21:03,976 --> 00:21:06,312
You fly like Kim Jong rockets
With your
410
00:21:08,898 --> 00:21:10,775
Paige returned my favorite sweatshirt.
411
00:21:10,858 --> 00:21:12,818
That's nice. When did that happen?
412
00:21:12,902 --> 00:21:14,236
When she broke up with me.
413
00:21:14,904 --> 00:21:15,904
Oh.
414
00:21:16,363 --> 00:21:18,699
Sorry, Sam. Did she say why?
415
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,201
Something about...
416
00:21:21,452 --> 00:21:24,622
Casey was afraid she was gonna hurt me,
or she was afraid of Casey.
417
00:21:24,705 --> 00:21:26,332
I don't know. Sometimes when she talks,
418
00:21:26,415 --> 00:21:29,126
she uses so many words
that I get a little lost.
419
00:21:29,710 --> 00:21:30,920
How are you feeling?
420
00:21:31,504 --> 00:21:32,630
Fine.
421
00:21:32,713 --> 00:21:34,548
Got my sweatshirt back.
422
00:21:35,716 --> 00:21:38,135
Are you sure you're fine?
423
00:21:41,222 --> 00:21:43,641
Most people I meet don't even try
to get me.
424
00:21:44,350 --> 00:21:46,352
Paige tried, and that was nice.
425
00:21:47,978 --> 00:21:49,063
That is nice.
426
00:21:50,481 --> 00:21:53,609
The whole time she was my girlfriend,
she bugged me.
427
00:21:53,692 --> 00:21:56,737
But I think I was so focused
on how annoying she is
428
00:21:56,821 --> 00:21:59,490
that I kind of forgot
about the good parts.
429
00:22:00,491 --> 00:22:01,742
That's a...
430
00:22:02,660 --> 00:22:04,495
great perspective, Sam.
431
00:22:05,246 --> 00:22:06,539
Wise beyond your years.
432
00:22:08,874 --> 00:22:11,293
She didn't even mind
when I locked her in my closet.
433
00:22:11,877 --> 00:22:13,796
That seems special and rare.
434
00:22:14,505 --> 00:22:15,881
Wait, what?
435
00:22:26,433 --> 00:22:27,601
Hey, it's me.
436
00:22:27,685 --> 00:22:31,272
I'm coming home, and we should talk.
437
00:22:31,897 --> 00:22:33,107
I love you.
438
00:22:37,820 --> 00:22:39,113
Apparently, I like Paige.
439
00:22:39,196 --> 00:22:41,073
Apparently, I like it when you knock.
440
00:22:41,156 --> 00:22:44,243
And now she's not my girlfriend
because of you. You drove her away.
441
00:22:44,326 --> 00:22:46,745
Okay, well,
all you do is complain about her.
442
00:22:47,329 --> 00:22:50,165
And I get it; she's super-annoying.
Well, I like her, I think.
443
00:22:50,291 --> 00:22:53,836
And you're my little sister, and I
don't need you messing with my life.
444
00:22:53,919 --> 00:22:56,046
Oh, my God! I was just trying to help.
445
00:22:56,422 --> 00:22:58,424
I'm not always gonna be around
to stick up for you.
446
00:22:58,507 --> 00:23:00,134
Good.
Sam...
447
00:23:00,217 --> 00:23:02,636
No, you're just like Paige.
448
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,723
But instead of touching my books
and my turtle,
449
00:23:05,806 --> 00:23:09,059
you're touching my girlfriend. I'm
glad you're going to that new school,
450
00:23:09,143 --> 00:23:10,978
because you will not be around
to bother me.
451
00:23:11,770 --> 00:23:13,731
You don't mean that.
Yes, I do.
452
00:23:14,231 --> 00:23:15,399
I don't need you.
453
00:23:15,482 --> 00:23:18,068
Well, good! That's what I wanted.
Well, good!
454
00:23:29,955 --> 00:23:32,875
Hello?
Hey, Casey, it's Jayson...
455
00:23:32,958 --> 00:23:35,210
from Clayton Prep.
I just got your e-mail.
456
00:23:35,294 --> 00:23:37,171
Oh. Hi.
457
00:23:37,254 --> 00:23:38,255
You guys are prompt.
458
00:23:38,339 --> 00:23:40,466
Yeah, well...
459
00:23:40,549 --> 00:23:44,762
Look, I just wanted to call
to say I think you're awesome.
460
00:23:44,845 --> 00:23:45,845
But?
461
00:23:46,847 --> 00:23:47,973
But...
462
00:23:48,807 --> 00:23:52,728
I work at the admissions office,
and I've been hearing some people talk.
463
00:23:52,811 --> 00:23:53,811
You punched a girl?
464
00:23:55,481 --> 00:23:56,481
Oh.
465
00:23:57,066 --> 00:24:00,152
Yeah.
But you don't know the whole story.
466
00:24:00,235 --> 00:24:01,945
She was bullying somebody.
467
00:24:02,029 --> 00:24:04,239
Okay, okay, okay, look.
468
00:24:04,323 --> 00:24:07,326
Write a letter to the admissions office,
and I'll do what I can.
469
00:24:07,409 --> 00:24:10,371
But Clayton has a zero tolerance policy
on violence.
470
00:24:10,454 --> 00:24:12,247
I just don't want you
to get your hopes up.
471
00:24:12,831 --> 00:24:14,208
I have to go.
472
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,050
Hey, babe.
473
00:24:25,135 --> 00:24:26,345
Miles?
474
00:24:43,278 --> 00:24:48,534
And that is our youngest granddaughter,
Charlie, which is short for Charlotte.
475
00:24:48,617 --> 00:24:50,869
Cute.
I don't know. These names lately, right?
476
00:24:50,953 --> 00:24:55,541
Yeah, Casey, when she was in
kindergarten, there was a child named Key.
477
00:24:55,624 --> 00:24:56,750
Right.
Yeah.
478
00:24:56,834 --> 00:24:59,670
A boy or a girl?
We weren't sure for the first few months.
479
00:25:01,046 --> 00:25:04,174
But she was a girl. Cute girl, nice.
They were friends. Nice girl.
480
00:25:04,258 --> 00:25:06,260
Very sweet.
So how are your kids?
481
00:25:06,969 --> 00:25:08,679
Really good.
Yeah.
482
00:25:08,762 --> 00:25:11,557
Casey is getting recruited
by that school Clayton Prep.
483
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,392
Oh.
For a track scholarship.
484
00:25:13,475 --> 00:25:15,596
Yeah, we went for a tour the other day,
on the campus.
485
00:25:15,644 --> 00:25:17,085
Scholarship.
Yeah. It'd be great.
486
00:25:17,563 --> 00:25:20,399
Exciting.
Yeah, it's nice to spend time with Casey,
487
00:25:20,482 --> 00:25:23,527
'cause, you know, we're usually
so focused on Sam and so...
488
00:25:23,610 --> 00:25:25,738
Why? What's going on with Sam?
He's good.
489
00:25:25,821 --> 00:25:27,489
You want more sangria?
I'm okay.
490
00:25:27,573 --> 00:25:32,119
He doesn't tell me anything anymore.
Right? I have become obsolete. He's 18.
491
00:25:32,202 --> 00:25:33,036
Oh.
492
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:34,163
You know, so...
493
00:25:34,830 --> 00:25:38,250
You know, it's like girls and dating.
494
00:25:38,333 --> 00:25:40,043
Trouble, trouble.
Mm-hmm.
495
00:25:40,127 --> 00:25:41,795
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
496
00:25:41,879 --> 00:25:44,798
Especially with Sam,
everything's a bit more, you know...
497
00:25:44,882 --> 00:25:45,966
No, what?
498
00:25:46,717 --> 00:25:48,052
Mm, 'cause of his autism.
499
00:25:48,135 --> 00:25:49,136
What?
500
00:25:49,970 --> 00:25:50,970
Sam's autistic?
501
00:25:52,931 --> 00:25:54,141
Yeah.
502
00:25:58,395 --> 00:25:59,521
Um...
503
00:26:04,568 --> 00:26:07,488
You worked with Chuck
for over five years.
504
00:26:07,571 --> 00:26:09,198
The subject never came up?
505
00:26:09,281 --> 00:26:11,700
No, Chuck and I don't really
talk about that stuff.
506
00:26:12,993 --> 00:26:14,620
Uh-huh. I get it.
507
00:26:14,703 --> 00:26:15,704
You get what?
508
00:26:15,788 --> 00:26:17,039
It's like my friend Diego.
509
00:26:17,122 --> 00:26:20,083
Do you remember Diego from when
I worked with him at the salon?
510
00:26:20,167 --> 00:26:21,001
Yeah.
511
00:26:21,084 --> 00:26:24,046
It took him over a year
to tell me he was gay.
512
00:26:24,129 --> 00:26:26,840
He still carries a lot of shame
about his sexuality.
513
00:26:27,424 --> 00:26:29,593
It's a big deal for
him to be out at work.
514
00:26:29,676 --> 00:26:32,763
Well, he works in a hair salon,
and he's not comfortable being gay?
515
00:26:32,846 --> 00:26:36,975
It's the same with you. You're not out
at work because you're ashamed.
516
00:26:37,059 --> 00:26:38,268
No, I'm not ashamed.
517
00:26:38,852 --> 00:26:40,521
Elsa, I'm not ashamed of anything.
518
00:26:41,271 --> 00:26:42,271
Okay?
519
00:26:42,314 --> 00:26:44,024
I just like to keep my work life
520
00:26:44,107 --> 00:26:46,443
and my personal life separate.
I'm not ashamed.
521
00:26:46,527 --> 00:26:48,862
Mm-hmm.
It's just how I am. It's a guy thing.
522
00:26:48,946 --> 00:26:51,073
Yeah, I just could never be that way,
523
00:26:51,156 --> 00:26:54,368
not with someone I work with every day,
someone I'm friends with.
524
00:26:54,451 --> 00:26:56,078
It's a huge part of my identity.
525
00:26:56,161 --> 00:26:58,121
Yeah, but maybe it shouldn't be.
What?
526
00:26:58,205 --> 00:27:01,208
Everything with you revolves
around being a mom.
527
00:27:01,291 --> 00:27:05,003
And maybe sometime you should just,
you know, be like an individual person.
528
00:27:05,087 --> 00:27:07,089
I am an individual person.
529
00:27:07,172 --> 00:27:08,423
No, I don't think you are.
530
00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:10,884
Everything is Sam this and autism that.
531
00:27:10,968 --> 00:27:13,428
Maybe it's time to step back
and have your own life.
532
00:27:18,058 --> 00:27:21,019
It takes me a while
to get used to new things.
533
00:27:21,103 --> 00:27:23,397
But once I get used to something,
534
00:27:24,106 --> 00:27:25,274
I come to rely on it.
535
00:27:36,201 --> 00:27:37,119
Paige?
536
00:27:37,202 --> 00:27:39,162
Pardon, monsieur...
537
00:27:42,708 --> 00:27:45,252
Uh, Sam, que fais-tu ici?
538
00:27:47,838 --> 00:27:48,964
Merde.
539
00:27:51,133 --> 00:27:55,846
Paige, I talked to my store manager
and my therapist,
540
00:27:55,929 --> 00:27:59,558
and I realized that
even though I hated it
541
00:27:59,641 --> 00:28:03,145
when you touched my stuff
and stole my sweatshirt,
542
00:28:03,228 --> 00:28:05,105
I hated it even more when you were gone.
543
00:28:06,356 --> 00:28:08,317
Aw.
No "aw."
544
00:28:08,901 --> 00:28:14,114
And now I understand that
sometimes girls like to wear something
545
00:28:14,197 --> 00:28:17,117
that reminds them of their boyfriends,
even when they're not there.
546
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,287
So I got you this necklace.
547
00:28:20,370 --> 00:28:23,040
Zahid's mean girlfriend got
me a discount at Claire's.
548
00:28:24,583 --> 00:28:26,001
Mademoiselle Hardaway!
549
00:28:50,651 --> 00:28:51,735
Happy birthday.
550
00:29:13,548 --> 00:29:14,675
Steamrolled hair
551
00:29:14,758 --> 00:29:16,843
Look into the glare And pop it,
brother
552
00:29:16,927 --> 00:29:18,470
Slick like 007, man
553
00:29:18,553 --> 00:29:20,013
You fly like Kim Jong rockets
554
00:29:20,097 --> 00:29:21,682
With your steamrolled hair
555
00:29:21,765 --> 00:29:23,809
Look into the glare And pop it,

00:29:23,892 --> 00:29:25,394
Slick like 007, man
557
00:29:25,477 --> 00:29:26,979
You fly like Kim Jong rockets
558
00:29:27,062 --> 00:29:28,730
With your steamrolled hair
559
00:29:28,814 --> 00:29:30,899
Look into the glare And pop it,
brother
560
00:29:30,983 --> 00:29:32,442
Slick like 007, man
561
00:29:32,526 --> 00:29:34,069
You fly like Kim Jong rockets
562
00:29:34,152 --> 00:29:35,821
With your steamrolled hair
563
00:29:35,904 --> 00:29:37,990
Look into the glare And pop it,
brother
564
00:29:38,073 --> 00:29:39,533
Slick like 007, man
565
00:29:39,616 --> 00:29:41,118
You fly like Kim Jong rockets
566
00:29:41,201 --> 00:29:42,828
With your steamrolled hair
567
00:29:42,911 --> 00:29:44,997
Look into the glare And pop it,

568
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,581
Slick like 007, man
