Anyway, if I could tell Elliot what I was doing,
you know, then I'd have something too.
If you do something special and nobody knows about it,
are you still special?
[soft music]
So who's Elliot?
You guys done or what?
Go away.
Also...
Elliott is happy.
And I was actually happy to see him happy.
If you were happy that he was happy,
then why is your face all mopey
and your voice is like wet underwear?
Because if I want him happy, even if he didn't want me,
then that means that...

I love him, and...
I ruined something...
real.

Are we really not going to talk about Mom's murder story?
It's not-- [grunts softly]
God forbid I write a sweet little children's book.
There are worms coming out of the dead mouse's stomach.
- Those are entrails. - Ugh.
I am done with dinner.
Hon, Max is right. Maybe we need to talk about it.
Go ahead, Max.
What? No way am I going first.
Okay.
Well, I think we were both just expecting
something a little more cute and--and upbeat
for a children's book.
It's a beautiful story about a mother feeding
and protecting her babies.
Objectively, if you were in your classroom
and you saw a student drawing this...
[dramatic music]
Would you maybe call their parents in to talk?
Oh, my God, what is happening to me?
I can't get these owls out of my head.
I saw a movie once where a person saw an owl,
and it meant they were being abducted by aliens.
Does your butt hurt?
Okay, that's not really dinner talk.
And we have been over this--
there's no such thing as aliens, okay?

Getting the band back together--
man, we haven't dusted up like that since...
the Gathering of Nations.
[chuckles]
Yeah.
Hey, Dad, I think I did a bad thing.
Harry's in love with this alien bird.
And so I told him not to pursue it.
I told him that he should focus on saving the world,
but I don't think that's why I did it.
Someone feeling a little jealous?
No.
Well, not romantically anyway.
But...
maybe, yeah.
I mean, it was always just me and Harry.
He needed me.
And now he's not even answering my phone calls.
You know how much you mean to him.
I know.
Being there today, seeing all those people,
surrounded by all that love... [sighs]
It just made me realize he should get to have that too.
[door opens, bell rings]
- Hey. - Hi.
Thank you so much for bringing me to the rez.
It was a lot, but I loved it.
Also, my mom and I kind of got into a bit of a fight,
so I was wondering if maybe I could crash
with you for a few days.
Before you say no, just think about it, okay?
It could be fun. [chuckles]
All right, um, I've got to go, but think about it.
All right. I'll talk to you soon.
O-okay.
There are many terrifying things in the world,
but the most terrifying thing is love.

Tell me about when you worked
for DARPA's autonomous robotics program.
[door closes]
The VA would donate soldiers who were in a vegetative state
to DARPA.
Instead of pulling the plug,
we kept them alive and ran experiments.
I quit that job. [device beeps, lock clicks]
