00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:08,175
- [water lapping]
- [wood creaking]
2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,011
[Dr. Mason] Three-quarter power building
to full in two.
3
00:00:16,265 --> 00:00:17,476
Full power.
4
00:00:18,143 --> 00:00:19,228
[exhales sharply]
5
00:00:20,729 --> 00:00:23,232
[Elizabeth] Unlike other Tupperware
parties you may have attended,
6
00:00:23,232 --> 00:00:25,901
I give thorough product descriptions
and I also make my own snacks.
7
00:00:28,445 --> 00:00:31,657
This Tuesday's menu
will be freshly squeezed nectarine juice
8
00:00:31,657 --> 00:00:34,368
along with lemon-lime bars
on a graham-cracker crust.
9
00:00:34,368 --> 00:00:36,203
Excellent. See you then.
10
00:00:55,430 --> 00:00:56,849
[sighs]
11
00:01:00,978 --> 00:01:03,981
["Wham (Re Bop Boom Bam)" playing]
12
00:02:15,260 --> 00:02:17,804
- What about this one?
- Mmm. [sighs]
13
00:02:17,804 --> 00:02:19,640
"Butylated hydroxytoluene."
14
00:02:20,641 --> 00:02:24,520
A good rule of thumb is not to eat foods
that share ingredients with jet fuel.
15
00:02:25,020 --> 00:02:26,980
I'll add it to my vocab list.
16
00:02:30,067 --> 00:02:31,818
What color were Dad's eyes?
17
00:02:31,818 --> 00:02:34,738
Blue, like yours.
You know how recessive genes work.
18
00:02:34,738 --> 00:02:36,240
What color was his hair?
19
00:02:36,865 --> 00:02:39,368
Brown.
Where are these questions coming from?
20
00:02:40,035 --> 00:02:42,621
Mrs. Mudford is making us
fill out a family tree,
21
00:02:42,621 --> 00:02:44,831
and I know nothing about Dad.
22
00:02:44,831 --> 00:02:47,084
- You know about your dad.
- No, I don't.
23
00:02:47,084 --> 00:02:50,420
Yes, you do. You know
that he was a brilliant scientist,
24
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:51,713
that he was kind,
25
00:02:51,713 --> 00:02:53,257
a very funny dancer
26
00:02:53,924 --> 00:02:56,301
and my favorite person
in the world until I met you.
27
00:02:59,346 --> 00:03:02,641
Well, what about his parents?
I need to put them on the tree too.
28
00:03:03,141 --> 00:03:05,394
Your grandparents died in a car accident
when he was young,
29
00:03:05,394 --> 00:03:06,812
then he went to live in a boys' home.
30
00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:09,273
What about your parents?
31
00:03:09,273 --> 00:03:12,442
Ezra and Iris.
We moved around a bit. Not that exciting.
32
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:14,486
So are we all alone?
33
00:03:15,863 --> 00:03:17,656
We are the opposite of alone.
34
00:03:17,656 --> 00:03:19,950
We have each other, we have Six Thirty,
35
00:03:19,950 --> 00:03:23,120
and we have a huge family waiting
at home for us for dinner.
36
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:26,498
But you are the chef, so you tell me.
What do you need?
37
00:03:27,583 --> 00:03:29,751
I'll get the flour.
You go to the butcher counter.
38
00:03:29,751 --> 00:03:31,211
Mm-hmm. Copy.
39
00:03:32,212 --> 00:03:33,297
But nothing too lean.
40
00:03:33,297 --> 00:03:34,965
[scoffs] Of course.
41
00:03:37,634 --> 00:03:39,553
[children screaming, laughing]
42
00:03:39,553 --> 00:03:41,555
- [child 1] I want a gumball!
- [parent] Stop it!
43
00:03:41,555 --> 00:03:43,557
- Get back here!
- [child 2] I wanna go on the horsey!
44
00:03:43,557 --> 00:03:45,642
- Off of the horse!
- [Elizabeth] Is everything okay?
45
00:03:45,642 --> 00:03:49,813
[parent] Yes, yes.
I am so sorry for my little terrors.
46
00:03:49,813 --> 00:03:52,900
- Oh, it is quite all right. I understand.
- You know, five minutes.
47
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:55,027
All I want is five minutes of quiet.
48
00:03:55,611 --> 00:03:56,862
Well, if I'm being greedy,
49
00:03:56,862 --> 00:03:59,448
I'd like them to set the table
and occasionally say thank you.
50
00:03:59,448 --> 00:04:01,825
But five minutes, I'd settle for that.
51
00:04:01,825 --> 00:04:04,244
[children exclaiming]
52
00:04:05,329 --> 00:04:09,374
[sighs] Those boys were being so rowdy. Geez.
53
00:04:09,374 --> 00:04:12,377
- Butylated hydroxytoluene.
- [chuckles]
54
00:04:12,377 --> 00:04:13,587
- [guests laughing]
- [jazz playing]
55
00:04:13,587 --> 00:04:16,673
[Elizabeth] That man was out of his mind.
Can you imagine me hosting a TV show?
56
00:04:16,673 --> 00:04:17,841
[Junior chuckles]
57
00:04:17,841 --> 00:04:20,135
Seriously? Hear, uh, TV pays well.
58
00:04:20,636 --> 00:04:23,388
Mmm. What's the cost of selling your soul?
59
00:04:23,388 --> 00:04:25,724
Depends. How much they paying? [chuckles]
60
00:04:25,724 --> 00:04:27,518
I thought you sold Tupperware.
61
00:04:27,518 --> 00:04:30,395
I sell Tupperware
so I have time for my research.
62
00:04:30,395 --> 00:04:32,022
- Mmm.
- [Junior] I wanna be an actor.
63
00:04:32,022 --> 00:04:34,107
- Like on Gunsmoke.
- [Harriet] Mm-mmm.
64
00:04:34,107 --> 00:04:36,610
You wanna be a lawyer like your mother.
65
00:04:36,610 --> 00:04:38,695
Or, if things don't work out,
a doctor like your father.
66
00:04:38,695 --> 00:04:41,031
[chuckling]
67
00:04:41,031 --> 00:04:42,241
You need more milk.
68
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:44,993
You're lucky you have a father.
69
00:04:46,370 --> 00:04:47,913
You have a father too, bunny.
70
00:04:47,913 --> 00:04:49,623
He's looking down on you right now.
71
00:04:49,623 --> 00:04:52,167
I know. I was just being provocative.
72
00:04:52,167 --> 00:04:54,545
Uh, excuse me, Miss Zott,
73
00:04:54,545 --> 00:04:58,131
but what is this unopened letter from
Phillips Laboratory doing on your counter?
74
00:04:58,131 --> 00:05:02,219
The same Phillips that has called you back
for not one, but two follow-up interviews?
75
00:05:02,219 --> 00:05:04,888
I prefer rejection after my meal.
76
00:05:04,888 --> 00:05:08,183
Would you like me to preview it for you?
I have an excellent poker face.
77
00:05:08,684 --> 00:05:09,977
- Open it!
- [gasps]
78
00:05:09,977 --> 00:05:11,979
- Open it!
- Open it!
79
00:05:11,979 --> 00:05:15,023
- Open it! Open it!
- Okay, okay, fine.
80
00:05:15,023 --> 00:05:16,191
Read away.
81
00:05:16,817 --> 00:05:21,530
[clears throat] "Dear Miss Zott,
thank you for your continued patience
82
00:05:21,530 --> 00:05:23,699
as we narrow our list of candidates.
83
00:05:23,699 --> 00:05:25,450
We are thrilled--
84
00:05:26,159 --> 00:05:29,705
We are thrilled to tell you
that you have reached our final round
85
00:05:29,705 --> 00:05:31,498
and we intend to make a decision shortly.
86
00:05:31,498 --> 00:05:33,709
Please provide us with references
at your earliest convenience
87
00:05:33,709 --> 00:05:35,377
so that we may..." Blah-blah-blah-blah.
88
00:05:35,377 --> 00:05:37,754
Congratulations, Elizabeth! [chuckles]
89
00:05:37,754 --> 00:05:40,465
- References.
- Oh, this is great.
90
00:05:40,465 --> 00:05:41,633
What's a reference?
91
00:05:41,633 --> 00:05:44,178
A reference is when someone you
no longer wish to work with
92
00:05:44,178 --> 00:05:45,554
holds the fate of your next job.
93
00:05:46,513 --> 00:05:49,308
Anyway... [smacks lips]
...I am not getting my hopes up.
94
00:06:12,497 --> 00:06:14,291
[typewriter clacking]
95
00:06:15,667 --> 00:06:17,169
I'm here to see Dr. Donatti.
96
00:06:17,169 --> 00:06:20,047
I don't have an appointment, but I was
hoping for the element of surprise.
97
00:06:20,047 --> 00:06:22,424
[stammers]
Dr. Donatti no longer works here.
98
00:06:23,050 --> 00:06:25,177
Oh. I didn't realize.
99
00:06:25,177 --> 00:06:26,970
Who might I speak with about possibly--
100
00:06:26,970 --> 00:06:28,680
Ah, thank you. [inhales sharply]
101
00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:31,850
Elizabeth?
102
00:06:31,850 --> 00:06:34,478
[sighs] Boryweitz.
103
00:06:36,396 --> 00:06:38,065
So what happened to Donatti?
104
00:06:38,899 --> 00:06:40,442
Well, you know how it goes.
105
00:06:41,068 --> 00:06:43,278
The board was ready for some new blood.
106
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:46,240
New blood is just old blood recirculated.
107
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:47,783
Fair point.
108
00:06:48,408 --> 00:06:49,660
[sighs]
109
00:06:49,660 --> 00:06:52,704
I can't tell you how many times I've
wanted to reach out these past few years.
110
00:06:52,704 --> 00:06:55,290
Hmm. You were just pacing yourself?
111
00:06:55,290 --> 00:06:56,875
I'm sorry, Elizabeth.
112
00:06:58,752 --> 00:07:03,173
Yes, well, I am up for
a chemistry position at Phillips.
113
00:07:03,173 --> 00:07:06,844
Coming here and asking for
a recommendation is extremely unpleasant.
114
00:07:06,844 --> 00:07:09,555
So please be truthful and write
something befitting of my value
115
00:07:09,555 --> 00:07:12,850
or, alternatively, say to my face you will
be blocking my career advancements
116
00:07:12,850 --> 00:07:14,059
as Donatti did.
117
00:07:14,059 --> 00:07:15,936
I mean,
I'm sure you've received a glowing review
118
00:07:15,936 --> 00:07:17,813
from your current lab already.
119
00:07:18,397 --> 00:07:19,940
I currently sell Tupperware.
120
00:07:22,901 --> 00:07:25,362
[sighs] I'm not going
to write you a good recommendation.
121
00:07:25,362 --> 00:07:26,613
I knew this was a mistake.
122
00:07:26,613 --> 00:07:28,866
I'm not going to do it
'cause I'd like you to come back here.
123
00:07:29,366 --> 00:07:31,243
Here? Are you kidding?
124
00:07:31,243 --> 00:07:32,786
You're an excellent chemist.
125
00:07:33,704 --> 00:07:36,623
And whatever you may think of Hastings,
126
00:07:36,623 --> 00:07:39,251
it's still the best facility
in Southern California.
127
00:07:39,251 --> 00:07:42,254
Far better than Phillips.
You'd be foolish not to consider it.
128
00:07:43,630 --> 00:07:45,674
- Chemist?
- Well, junior chemist.
129
00:07:46,258 --> 00:07:47,259
Which department?
130
00:07:47,968 --> 00:07:49,052
DNA.
131
00:07:49,052 --> 00:07:51,346
Between the Remsen
and my esteemed reputation,
132
00:07:51,346 --> 00:07:55,017
our DNA lab has become the authority
on abiogenesis research.
133
00:07:55,017 --> 00:07:57,227
Just dedicated men doing important work.
134
00:07:57,936 --> 00:08:01,398
And we'd publish together.
I'll even give you second author.
135
00:08:03,066 --> 00:08:04,276
Who would be first author?
136
00:08:04,276 --> 00:08:06,236
Well, it would be me.
137
00:08:06,236 --> 00:08:07,738
You?
138
00:08:07,738 --> 00:08:10,115
The man who stole my work
and then lied about it?
139
00:08:10,115 --> 00:08:14,661
I don-- I can't just put you in charge.
Second author, it-- that's not nothing.
140
00:08:14,661 --> 00:08:17,122
Second author is-- is quite meaningful.
141
00:08:18,749 --> 00:08:20,042
Hmm.
142
00:08:22,002 --> 00:08:23,795
So you'll consider the offer?
143
00:08:23,795 --> 00:08:25,255
I already have.
144
00:08:26,673 --> 00:08:28,967
[door opens, closes]
145
00:08:28,967 --> 00:08:33,972
And who do you think this is
in my family tree?
146
00:08:33,972 --> 00:08:35,097
Lena?
147
00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:36,725
The president?
148
00:08:36,725 --> 00:08:39,602
"Could it be the president?" And no.
149
00:08:40,979 --> 00:08:42,022
Amanda.
150
00:08:42,523 --> 00:08:43,899
Could it be Lassie?
151
00:08:43,899 --> 00:08:48,028
This is a family tree, not a doghouse.
We're talking about people.
152
00:08:48,028 --> 00:08:49,655
People are animals.
153
00:08:50,197 --> 00:08:52,324
No, they aren't, Madeline.
People are humans.
154
00:08:52,324 --> 00:08:55,494
But people are mammals,
and mammals are animals.
155
00:08:55,494 --> 00:08:57,704
Madeline, that's enough.
156
00:08:58,872 --> 00:08:59,873
Tommy?
157
00:08:59,873 --> 00:09:02,376
Could I be an animal? [imitating monkey]
158
00:09:02,376 --> 00:09:05,712
Oh. Now, stop it, Tommy. Stop it. Now--
159
00:09:05,712 --> 00:09:08,841
- [students imitating animal noises]
- Oh, no. No, all of you, stop it!
160
00:09:08,841 --> 00:09:12,511
- Sit down! Now!
- [imitating monkey]
161
00:09:12,511 --> 00:09:13,804
Tommy.
162
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:18,058
Madeline, see me after class.
163
00:09:18,058 --> 00:09:20,143
["I Do Whatta Do" playing]
164
00:09:21,645 --> 00:09:25,691
- [Elizabeth] Champagne?
- Yes. Thank you.
165
00:09:27,317 --> 00:09:28,318
Are you joining us?
166
00:09:28,318 --> 00:09:30,696
- Oh, no. I don't drink before lunch.
- [chuckles]
167
00:09:30,696 --> 00:09:32,155
- [phone ringing]
- Excuse me.
168
00:09:37,911 --> 00:09:39,079
Zott residence.
169
00:09:39,746 --> 00:09:40,914
Oh, for Christ's sake.
170
00:09:42,791 --> 00:09:47,254
She completely undermined the assignment
and said people are animals.
171
00:09:47,921 --> 00:09:49,464
But people are animals.
172
00:09:50,340 --> 00:09:52,384
Well, that's not the point, is it?
173
00:09:52,384 --> 00:09:55,512
Yesterday, during circle time,
174
00:09:55,512 --> 00:09:58,599
we were having a discussion
about Ralph's pet turtle
175
00:09:58,599 --> 00:10:03,770
and Madeline interrupted and said that
she was unable to find any Norman Mailer
176
00:10:03,770 --> 00:10:05,314
on our bookshelves.
177
00:10:05,314 --> 00:10:07,649
Well, she is interested
in misanthropic characters.
178
00:10:08,233 --> 00:10:09,318
Not surprising.
179
00:10:09,318 --> 00:10:12,154
Are you suggesting
that Madeline is a misanthrope?
180
00:10:12,154 --> 00:10:15,574
I am suggesting
that she is disruptive because--
181
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,785
because she is not challenged here.
182
00:10:19,369 --> 00:10:21,288
I am suggesting
that she would be better off
183
00:10:21,288 --> 00:10:24,082
at a school with
a more advanced curriculum
184
00:10:24,082 --> 00:10:25,626
to keep her engaged.
185
00:10:25,626 --> 00:10:27,628
Some place like the Caswell School.
186
00:10:29,004 --> 00:10:30,380
I've never considered private school.
187
00:10:32,216 --> 00:10:35,636
Well, I think it's time you should.
188
00:10:38,013 --> 00:10:40,349
Hmm. Thank you for your time.
189
00:10:47,606 --> 00:10:49,566
You do like school, don't you?
190
00:10:49,566 --> 00:10:51,568
Of course I don't like school.
191
00:10:52,486 --> 00:10:54,571
What do you mean? Why didn't you tell me?
192
00:10:54,571 --> 00:10:57,199
Nobody likes school. That's a fact.
193
00:10:57,199 --> 00:10:58,659
That is not necessarily a fact,
194
00:10:58,659 --> 00:11:00,536
and these are things
that you should tell me.
195
00:11:00,536 --> 00:11:02,371
You have enough to worry about.
196
00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:06,083
Amanda!
197
00:11:07,876 --> 00:11:09,461
Mom, can Amanda come over today?
198
00:11:09,461 --> 00:11:12,756
Her dad has to work late, and
we have to practice our secret language.
199
00:11:12,756 --> 00:11:14,132
Of course.
200
00:11:14,132 --> 00:11:19,346
[both]
Ank-thay yi-di-goo iss-may zi-di-got.
201
00:11:19,346 --> 00:11:21,557
[chuckles] Come on, you two.
202
00:11:22,057 --> 00:11:23,225
[knocking]
203
00:11:30,732 --> 00:11:33,402
I'm not here to pitch you again.
I'm just here to pick up Amanda.
204
00:11:33,402 --> 00:11:34,736
And I wanted to say,
205
00:11:34,736 --> 00:11:36,989
the chicken pot pie
tasted even better the next day.
206
00:11:36,989 --> 00:11:39,408
I don't know how that's even possible.
207
00:11:39,408 --> 00:11:40,617
Not at all surprising.
208
00:11:40,617 --> 00:11:44,371
When the pie cools, the starch goes
through a process called retrogradation
209
00:11:44,371 --> 00:11:46,748
where the molecules restructure
into a crystalline form.
210
00:11:46,748 --> 00:11:48,959
The flavor compounds are trapped
in said structure,
211
00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:50,919
which makes every bite more flavorful.
212
00:11:51,962 --> 00:11:56,091
Yeah,
I definitely tasted the extra molecules.
213
00:11:56,091 --> 00:11:59,052
Uh, quite delicious.
214
00:12:00,387 --> 00:12:01,972
Come in. I'm making dinner.
215
00:12:07,644 --> 00:12:09,730
I've never seen a kitchen like this.
216
00:12:09,730 --> 00:12:12,274
That's because it is my lab
that I also happen to cook in.
217
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:14,067
The girls are in the back.
218
00:12:14,067 --> 00:12:16,486
They're teaching
our dog their secret language.
219
00:12:16,486 --> 00:12:19,323
[chuckles] How's Amanda been?
220
00:12:19,323 --> 00:12:21,533
Polite. Funny. Engaging.
221
00:12:22,034 --> 00:12:24,161
Although, I should tell you
she did burst into tears
222
00:12:24,161 --> 00:12:25,913
when I offered her ants on a log.
223
00:12:25,913 --> 00:12:29,833
Y-- Um, my wife used to make that for her.
224
00:12:30,417 --> 00:12:32,294
I'm so sorry. When did she pass?
225
00:12:32,294 --> 00:12:34,087
Not dead. Divorced.
226
00:12:34,087 --> 00:12:39,760
She's, uh-- She's just in Nevada somewhere
on a trip of spiritual enlightenment.
227
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,720
- [sighs]
- Hmm.
228
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,389
[sighs] I don't know how you do it.
229
00:12:44,389 --> 00:12:45,557
Do what?
230
00:12:45,557 --> 00:12:47,434
Keep all the balls in the air.
231
00:12:47,434 --> 00:12:49,811
I've been a single dad
for all of three months,
232
00:12:49,811 --> 00:12:53,482
and I feel like an uncoordinated octopus.
233
00:12:53,482 --> 00:12:56,944
Well, the best advice I ever got
is that no one is equipped to do this,
234
00:12:56,944 --> 00:12:58,487
and then you expand.
235
00:12:58,487 --> 00:13:01,323
You think you can't do it,
and then you do it anyway.
236
00:13:01,323 --> 00:13:03,700
[inhales deeply]
I accidentally put a flask of gin
237
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:05,369
in her lunch pail last week.
238
00:13:05,369 --> 00:13:08,121
Well, whatever gets her
through Mrs. Mudford's class.
239
00:13:08,121 --> 00:13:09,915
- [chuckles]
- Hmm?
240
00:13:10,958 --> 00:13:12,960
Okay, here we go.
241
00:13:13,752 --> 00:13:16,421
You know,
this is why I thought you'd be a TV star.
242
00:13:17,130 --> 00:13:18,173
And why is that?
243
00:13:18,173 --> 00:13:19,925
Because you respect your audience.
244
00:13:20,467 --> 00:13:22,010
You don't talk down to people.
245
00:13:22,010 --> 00:13:26,348
You meet them where they are,
and you somehow raise them up.
246
00:13:26,348 --> 00:13:29,810
Well, if I were to consider it,
we'd have to be 50-50 partners.
247
00:13:29,810 --> 00:13:31,144
That's not how it works.
248
00:13:31,144 --> 00:13:33,230
Well, then it would never work,
because I won't be--
249
00:13:33,230 --> 00:13:34,481
No, this would be your show.
250
00:13:34,481 --> 00:13:37,401
You would be in charge
of virtually every aspect of it.
251
00:13:37,401 --> 00:13:41,405
If I do my job right,
no one will even know who I am.
252
00:13:50,706 --> 00:13:54,626
I am sending Mad to private school.
It's expensive.
253
00:13:55,419 --> 00:13:58,088
- How much would the job pay?
- More than you've ever made.
254
00:14:02,593 --> 00:14:06,638
My name is Walter,
and I'll be your tour guide for the day.
255
00:14:07,139 --> 00:14:10,142
Uh, let's see.
On your right, hair and makeup.
256
00:14:10,142 --> 00:14:12,477
- Oh, I can do that myself.
- No, you cannot.
257
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:17,274
This is Amos, the best boy.
He is a good man.
258
00:14:17,274 --> 00:14:18,859
And what makes him the best?
259
00:14:18,859 --> 00:14:20,485
- It's a job title.
- Mmm.
260
00:14:20,485 --> 00:14:22,863
- And this is Matt and Robert.
- [Matt] Hi.
261
00:14:22,863 --> 00:14:24,239
- Hello.
- [Walter] Props.
262
00:14:24,239 --> 00:14:25,324
What kind of props?
263
00:14:25,324 --> 00:14:27,367
Whisks, spoons, miniature ponies,
whatever you need.
264
00:14:27,367 --> 00:14:30,412
- Mmm.
- And these ladies...
265
00:14:30,412 --> 00:14:32,664
- [Elizabeth] Mm-hmm.
- ...already your biggest fans.
266
00:14:32,664 --> 00:14:36,376
- Shari, Nancy, Lynn and Ronni.
- Hello.
267
00:14:36,376 --> 00:14:37,961
So nice to meet you all.
268
00:14:37,961 --> 00:14:41,173
- Mm-hmm. Okay. Now...
- [Shari] Nice to meet you too.
269
00:14:42,549 --> 00:14:44,843
- Coffee?
- Sure, how do you take it?
270
00:14:45,552 --> 00:14:48,180
No, sorry, I get you coffee.
That's my job.
271
00:14:49,056 --> 00:14:50,057
How do you take it?
272
00:14:50,557 --> 00:14:52,434
Oh, I'm all set. Thank you.
273
00:14:52,434 --> 00:14:55,771
[Walter] All right. And finally...
274
00:14:58,065 --> 00:14:59,441
the control room.
275
00:15:00,651 --> 00:15:01,652
[Elizabeth] Hello.
276
00:15:01,652 --> 00:15:04,530
Then there's your new home.
277
00:15:05,531 --> 00:15:07,074
Kenny, throw 'em on.
278
00:15:19,336 --> 00:15:20,462
Morning, Mr. Pine.
279
00:15:21,630 --> 00:15:26,260
[Walter] Well, we put our heads together,
came up with every woman's dream kitchen.
280
00:15:32,307 --> 00:15:34,017
[sighs]
281
00:15:53,745 --> 00:15:56,665
Well? What do you think?
282
00:16:00,169 --> 00:16:01,461
This is revolting.
283
00:16:03,881 --> 00:16:06,008
[smacks lips] Okay, let's take a five.
284
00:16:06,633 --> 00:16:09,094
- Okay. No, I hear your concerns.
- [Elizabeth] Hmm.
285
00:16:09,094 --> 00:16:13,807
Um, thing is, TV,
it needs to be inviting and fun.
286
00:16:13,807 --> 00:16:16,560
Cooking is not fun. It is vital work.
287
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,812
Right. Okay, idea.
288
00:16:18,812 --> 00:16:21,857
Let's think of the show
as the world's best dinner party.
289
00:16:22,608 --> 00:16:24,818
- When you and Mr. Zott throw dinners--
- There is no Mr. Zott.
290
00:16:24,818 --> 00:16:27,321
I am unmarried. I was never married.
291
00:16:28,822 --> 00:16:32,367
[stammers] You know what, can we--
Why don't we pick this up later?
292
00:16:36,705 --> 00:16:41,043
So, your-- [stammers]
Was, uh, Mad's father--
293
00:16:42,211 --> 00:16:45,047
- Was he stepping out on his wife?
- Oh, no. We were in love.
294
00:16:45,047 --> 00:16:46,632
We were soulmates.
295
00:16:46,632 --> 00:16:49,134
But he died suddenly
before I knew I was pregnant.
296
00:16:51,345 --> 00:16:54,681
Mmm. Um, I'm so sorry.
297
00:16:54,681 --> 00:16:58,101
I'm sorry for you as well,
for your divorce.
298
00:16:58,101 --> 00:17:00,312
Oh, no. [chuckles] Don't be.
We weren't in love.
299
00:17:00,312 --> 00:17:02,022
I don't even know if she has a soul.
300
00:17:02,022 --> 00:17:03,565
You know what? This is what we do.
301
00:17:03,565 --> 00:17:08,862
Think about this whole TV thing
as like a exciting new experiment.
302
00:17:11,865 --> 00:17:15,117
- [pen scratching]
- [host] ...let's meet four nice people here.
303
00:17:15,117 --> 00:17:16,537
First of all, our champion...
304
00:17:16,537 --> 00:17:19,873
- [phone ringing]
- [host continues, indistinct]
305
00:17:19,873 --> 00:17:22,084
- Zott residence.
- [Harriet] Hello, Miss Zott.
306
00:17:22,084 --> 00:17:25,295
Just wanted to see if you and Mad wanted
to come over tomorrow for a barbecue.
307
00:17:25,295 --> 00:17:26,839
Mention my new marinade.
308
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:30,926
[chuckles] Well, Mad will be there,
but I may still be studying.
309
00:17:30,926 --> 00:17:32,553
- Studying?
- TV.
310
00:17:33,345 --> 00:17:34,555
How does one study TV?
311
00:17:34,555 --> 00:17:36,223
Turn on channel 4.
312
00:17:38,350 --> 00:17:39,434
Yep.
313
00:17:43,230 --> 00:17:44,481
[Charlie] You got it?
314
00:17:44,481 --> 00:17:45,566
[Harriet] Got it.
315
00:17:46,775 --> 00:17:47,609
Okay.
316
00:17:47,609 --> 00:17:50,362
[Elizabeth] Now, watch how often
the host smiles or laughs.
317
00:17:50,362 --> 00:17:52,447
My God, why do they smile so much?
318
00:17:52,447 --> 00:17:54,575
There is nothing smile-worthy
about life insurance,
319
00:17:54,575 --> 00:17:57,327
but regardless, I am notating frequency.
320
00:17:57,327 --> 00:17:59,788
I'm also correlating it
with the ratings in the TV Guide,
321
00:17:59,788 --> 00:18:03,292
focusing specifically on the
coveted 24-to-35-year-old demographic.
322
00:18:03,292 --> 00:18:05,586
Is this genius or crazy? I can't decide.
323
00:18:05,586 --> 00:18:07,796
I only have two more weeks
until the show airs,
324
00:18:07,796 --> 00:18:09,256
so I don't have much time to study.
325
00:18:09,256 --> 00:18:13,802
Hmm. Well, if you need a study break,
we'll be here grilling.
326
00:18:13,802 --> 00:18:17,139
[Charlie]
With my new marinade. Bye, Elizabeth.
327
00:18:17,139 --> 00:18:19,850
- [Elizabeth] Bye, Charlie.
- I love you. I'll miss you.
328
00:18:20,726 --> 00:18:22,769
I thought Charlie was done
with the graveyard shift.
329
00:18:22,769 --> 00:18:27,065
[clears throat] That's what I thought too.
330
00:18:27,649 --> 00:18:29,276
- Hmm.
- [advertiser] Use the yellow pages:
331
00:18:29,276 --> 00:18:31,528
the first place to look for anything.
332
00:18:31,528 --> 00:18:34,448
Do I need a catchphrase?
Does every show have a catchphrase?
333
00:18:34,448 --> 00:18:35,532
Don't overthink it.
334
00:18:35,532 --> 00:18:37,159
Never understood what that meant.
335
00:18:37,159 --> 00:18:39,328
[chuckles] Goodbye, Miss Zott.
336
00:18:39,328 --> 00:18:40,787
Goodbye, Mrs. Sloane.
337
00:18:40,787 --> 00:18:43,040
[host] ...there goes the dirt.
338
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,917
Yes, sir, the secret words are...
339
00:18:44,917 --> 00:18:47,252
- Now, honestly.
- [TV audience laughs]
340
00:18:47,252 --> 00:18:52,591
[Mad] "In a word, I had been too cowardly
to do what I knew to be right,
341
00:18:52,591 --> 00:18:57,221
as I had been too cowardly
to avoid doing what I knew to be wrong."
342
00:18:57,221 --> 00:18:58,847
What does that mean?
343
00:18:58,847 --> 00:19:01,725
I think Pip is remembering
the times in his life
344
00:19:01,725 --> 00:19:04,811
when he felt pressured
to do or not do things
345
00:19:04,811 --> 00:19:06,313
because they were expected of him.
346
00:19:06,897 --> 00:19:08,690
And that makes him a coward?
347
00:19:10,734 --> 00:19:12,027
Six Thirty.
348
00:19:19,284 --> 00:19:22,704
Hey, Mad,
do you remember Amanda's dad, Walter?
349
00:19:23,413 --> 00:19:25,541
Do you think that
I am suffering from amnesia?
350
00:19:25,541 --> 00:19:27,292
- We just saw him.
- [chuckles]
351
00:19:28,836 --> 00:19:34,633
W-What I meant to say is that I'm going to
be working with him at the TV station.
352
00:19:35,217 --> 00:19:38,053
So that means our afternoons
are going to look a little different.
353
00:19:38,053 --> 00:19:39,930
But I like our afternoons.
354
00:19:40,514 --> 00:19:42,140
I love our afternoons.
355
00:19:43,016 --> 00:19:47,354
But I'm going to do
what is expected of me, much like Pip.
356
00:19:48,272 --> 00:19:50,816
I don't get it. You're a scientist.
357
00:19:50,816 --> 00:19:55,946
I will be doing science,
just in a kitchen with TV cameras.
358
00:19:56,655 --> 00:19:59,408
Sort of like a teacher for people
who want to learn how to cook.
359
00:20:00,242 --> 00:20:01,827
Plus, there are financial benefits.
360
00:20:02,995 --> 00:20:05,956
I know it'll be tough,
but you say you don't like school,
361
00:20:05,956 --> 00:20:08,333
and I'm wondering if Caswell--
362
00:20:08,333 --> 00:20:10,460
you know,
that big school down by the park--
363
00:20:10,460 --> 00:20:12,296
if it might be a better fit for you.
364
00:20:13,005 --> 00:20:14,590
Do I have a choice?
365
00:20:14,590 --> 00:20:16,258
I would like you to try it,
366
00:20:16,258 --> 00:20:18,552
and you have full veto power
if you hate it.
367
00:20:18,552 --> 00:20:21,471
[sighs] It sounds like I'm trying it,
and that's about that.
368
00:20:22,181 --> 00:20:24,558
Full veto power. I promise.
369
00:20:27,519 --> 00:20:28,687
I love you, bunny.
370
00:20:28,687 --> 00:20:30,105
I love you too.
371
00:20:32,941 --> 00:20:34,276
[Elizabeth sighs]
372
00:20:45,329 --> 00:20:48,832
[director] Three, two, one, action!
373
00:20:48,832 --> 00:20:52,836
{\an8}[Elizabeth] "I'm Elizabeth Zott,
and this is Supper at Six. Do"--
374
00:20:53,921 --> 00:20:55,297
{\an8}Well, I can't read this.
375
00:20:55,297 --> 00:20:59,384
And, Walter, I'm losing,
um, circulation in my arms.
376
00:20:59,384 --> 00:21:01,345
Okay, no, good. Good, good, good, good.
377
00:21:01,345 --> 00:21:03,472
This is good.
This is why we do dress rehearsals.
378
00:21:03,472 --> 00:21:05,974
- Okay. Yes.
- And-- And you look fantastic.
379
00:21:05,974 --> 00:21:08,685
This dress would be fantastic
on a midsize child.
380
00:21:08,685 --> 00:21:10,395
- [chuckles]
- I'm an adult woman.
381
00:21:10,395 --> 00:21:13,649
Good. I love that energy.
Um, and, you know-- [stammers]
382
00:21:13,649 --> 00:21:15,025
Could we get bigger cards?
383
00:21:15,025 --> 00:21:18,028
Oh, no, no, no-- It's-- It's not that--
It's not that I can't read it.
384
00:21:18,028 --> 00:21:20,531
It's that my conscience
won't let me read that.
385
00:21:20,531 --> 00:21:23,450
Uh, I have my own thing prepared.
May I? Or I-- I will.
386
00:21:25,494 --> 00:21:26,870
[refrigerator door opens]
387
00:21:28,121 --> 00:21:29,122
Ah.
388
00:21:33,293 --> 00:21:36,505
- Three, two, one?
- Oh, you can just talk.
389
00:21:36,505 --> 00:21:37,589
[Elizabeth] Okay.
390
00:21:39,925 --> 00:21:42,761
I'm Elizabeth Zott,
and this is Supper at Six.
391
00:21:42,761 --> 00:21:44,847
Baking powder is an alkali
392
00:21:44,847 --> 00:21:47,140
that will raise the pH levels
of your chicken skin
393
00:21:47,140 --> 00:21:49,268
and will result in a crisp texture.
394
00:21:49,977 --> 00:21:51,728
Mmm. I'm gonna take that back.
395
00:21:51,728 --> 00:21:53,438
- [Walter] Okay, Elizabeth...
- I'm E-- Yes?
396
00:21:53,438 --> 00:21:57,526
...if you make a mistake, just keep going.
It's, uh-- 'Cause the show is live.
397
00:21:57,526 --> 00:22:00,487
- So, you know, we can't go back.
- That's right. Yes. My apologies.
398
00:22:00,487 --> 00:22:03,866
That's right. That's right.
Okay. Mm-hmm. Okay.
399
00:22:04,533 --> 00:22:06,660
Um... [clears throat] ...all right.
400
00:22:07,494 --> 00:22:11,164
As I was saying,
baking powder is a leavening agent
401
00:22:11,164 --> 00:22:13,584
which elevates the pH of the chicken skin.
402
00:22:13,584 --> 00:22:17,671
In short,
the skin expands when you cook it.
403
00:22:17,671 --> 00:22:20,966
The more surface area, uh,
the crispier the texture.
404
00:22:21,550 --> 00:22:24,386
- Allow me to demonstrate...
- The skin's pH level? Is this a joke?
405
00:22:24,386 --> 00:22:26,722
We're--
We're still finding the show's voice.
406
00:22:26,722 --> 00:22:30,475
Big hair, tight dress, homey set. Check.
407
00:22:30,475 --> 00:22:34,396
But we need a sexy wife,
loving mother that every man loves to see
408
00:22:34,396 --> 00:22:36,398
when he comes home from work.
409
00:22:36,398 --> 00:22:41,695
But this time, we aim to shrink
the square unit of our vegetables.
410
00:22:41,695 --> 00:22:45,032
Square unit? What the fuck is this?
411
00:22:45,032 --> 00:22:49,203
- [sighs] Phil. [stammers] Look.
- [Phil stammers]
412
00:22:49,203 --> 00:22:51,330
- [sighs]
- I mean, the thing is,
413
00:22:51,330 --> 00:22:54,833
not only is she a cook and a mother,
but she is also a chemist.
414
00:22:54,833 --> 00:22:57,961
So I was thinking let's--
let's play up her credentials,
415
00:22:57,961 --> 00:23:00,589
give housewives someone to aspire to.
416
00:23:00,589 --> 00:23:02,591
- [Elizabeth] ...releases tear gas.
- What are those?
417
00:23:02,591 --> 00:23:04,843
Which is why I prefer goggles,
418
00:23:04,843 --> 00:23:07,137
which are woefully absent
from cookware sets.
419
00:23:07,137 --> 00:23:10,891
Phil, I think we can make
something meaningful here.
420
00:23:10,891 --> 00:23:14,520
Meaningful? What are you, Amish? No!
421
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,023
We want tight dresses,
suggestive movements,
422
00:23:18,023 --> 00:23:21,693
like the way she dons her potholders
just so.
423
00:23:22,361 --> 00:23:25,822
And at the end of every show,
she should make her husband a cocktail.
424
00:23:26,406 --> 00:23:27,824
I-- I don't think Miss Zott
425
00:23:27,824 --> 00:23:30,702
- is gonna be willing to--
- Why the fuck would I care what she wants?
426
00:23:31,703 --> 00:23:32,829
I-It's her show.
427
00:23:33,330 --> 00:23:36,083
No, Walter. It's my show.
428
00:23:41,547 --> 00:23:42,923
Hi, Six Thirty.
429
00:23:48,136 --> 00:23:49,721
[Elizabeth] Welcome home, Mad.
430
00:23:49,721 --> 00:23:53,600
Here's your schedule for today.
3:30 to 4:00 p.m., snack time.
431
00:23:54,101 --> 00:23:55,602
There are deviled eggs in the fridge.
432
00:23:55,602 --> 00:23:58,897
Suggestion: They're better
with a little paprika sprinkled on top.
433
00:24:02,526 --> 00:24:04,945
4:00 to 4:30 p.m., homework.
434
00:24:05,737 --> 00:24:07,072
[door creaks, closes]
435
00:24:07,573 --> 00:24:10,659
I always liked to do whatever
my least favorite subject was first.
436
00:24:11,743 --> 00:24:12,911
It gets it out of the way.
437
00:24:16,039 --> 00:24:18,542
4:30 to 5:00 p.m., reading.
438
00:24:19,501 --> 00:24:23,797
Read Great Expectations to Six Thirty.
We left off on page 87.
439
00:24:26,550 --> 00:24:29,845
5:00 to 6:00 p.m.,
Mrs. Waterhouse will babysit,
440
00:24:29,845 --> 00:24:32,431
or Linda will take you to church
for her choir practice.
441
00:24:34,474 --> 00:24:37,394
Look both ways before you cross
the street, and don't forget:
442
00:24:37,895 --> 00:24:41,648
God is not real, but we respect
other people's belief systems.
443
00:24:42,149 --> 00:24:44,985
I'll be home for dinner. I love you. Mom.
444
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,401

I can't tell you yet

[Wakely] That makes sense.
459
00:26:34,887 --> 00:26:37,848
I'm Reverend Wakely. This is my church.
460
00:26:38,891 --> 00:26:43,020
I'm Mad Zott. I don't have a church
because my mom says God isn't real.
461
00:26:44,521 --> 00:26:45,689

Oh, a family tree. How fun.
464
00:26:55,199 --> 00:26:56,366
That's debatable.
465
00:26:57,451 --> 00:27:00,454
- Debatable?
- It means arguable.
466
00:27:02,122 --> 00:27:03,123
Yes, it does.
467
00:27:04,541 --> 00:27:05,709
What have you got so far?
468
00:27:08,212 --> 00:27:11,548
On my mom's side, I have Ezra and Iris,
469
00:27:11,548 --> 00:27:14,009
but I don't have anything
on my dad's side yet.
470
00:27:14,009 --> 00:27:15,427
I don't know where to start.
471
00:27:16,345 --> 00:27:17,638
Why not just ask him?
472
00:27:18,722 --> 00:27:19,932
He's dead.
473
00:27:21,892 --> 00:27:23,018
I'm so sorry.
474
00:27:24,102 --> 00:27:26,772
People say you can't miss
what you never had,
475
00:27:27,356 --> 00:27:30,692
but I think people are wrong. Don't you?
476
00:27:31,860 --> 00:27:34,238
I think people are very wrong.
477
00:27:35,822 --> 00:27:37,324
And what are these?
478
00:27:38,784 --> 00:27:41,119
Some clues I found in my dad's study,
479
00:27:41,703 --> 00:27:45,123
which I never went through,
if anyone ever asks you.
480
00:27:48,001 --> 00:27:52,548
But I don't know which school he went to,
so it's useless.
481
00:27:56,134 --> 00:27:57,386
[Wakely] See the winged bull?
482
00:27:58,595 --> 00:28:00,138
That's how they draw St. Luke.
483
00:28:00,138 --> 00:28:02,516
Your dad went to a school
called St. Luke's.
484
00:28:04,268 --> 00:28:06,979
Now, which St. Luke's?
485
00:28:07,938 --> 00:28:09,022
That's the question.
486

♪ Do not pass me by ♪
487
00:28:25,581 --> 00:28:27,207
And that concludes our time.
488
00:28:27,207 --> 00:28:30,919
Tomorrow on Supper at Six,
we will study colloids.
489
00:28:30,919 --> 00:28:33,005
Although, I don't know why
the show is called Supper at Six.
490
00:28:33,005 --> 00:28:36,884
It should be called Supper at 5:30.
But here we are.
491
00:28:36,884 --> 00:28:40,220
- [applauding]
- Walter, we need to discuss the title.
492
00:28:40,220 --> 00:28:42,306
It's-- [stammers]
It's incredibly misleading.
493
00:28:42,306 --> 00:28:44,808
Well... [stammers]
...we-- we can discuss that.
494
00:28:44,808 --> 00:28:47,060
- Mmm.
- And I just-- Let's have a drink.
495
00:28:47,060 --> 00:28:48,520
I don't really drink.
496
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,189
- I do.
- Okay.
497
00:28:50,772 --> 00:28:53,483
I know what you're going to say,
and adjustments will be made.
498
00:28:53,483 --> 00:28:54,776
I took notes.
499
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,823
The set: altogether too cluttered.
Cue cards: unnecessary, eliminate.
500
00:28:59,823 --> 00:29:04,703
Wardrobe: Walter, this dress is obscene,
and I need my lab coat.
501
00:29:05,537 --> 00:29:06,538
[sighs]
502
00:29:07,206 --> 00:29:08,832
- What? You won't consider a lab coat?
- Elizabeth.
503
00:29:08,832 --> 00:29:10,542
It has more surface area than an apron.
504
00:29:10,542 --> 00:29:12,628
I don't understand
why everyone doesn't cook in a lab coat.
505
00:29:12,628 --> 00:29:14,796
Elizabeth, it's not about the lab coat.
506
00:29:17,090 --> 00:29:18,967
Phil hated the show.
507
00:29:20,135 --> 00:29:22,304
Phil? Who's Phil?
508
00:29:22,304 --> 00:29:24,598
He's the station owner.
509
00:29:24,598 --> 00:29:27,559
I hate him. I hate him. I hate him.
I hate him so much.
510
00:29:27,559 --> 00:29:32,773
He haunts me in my dreams.
He haunts me when I'm awake.
511
00:29:33,565 --> 00:29:36,235
Do I care what Phil thinks?
512
00:29:36,235 --> 00:29:37,569
No, I do not.
513
00:29:37,569 --> 00:29:44,618
But... [sighs] ...I agree with him.
We do need to make some changes.
514
00:29:44,618 --> 00:29:46,662
I knew this was going to happen, Walter.
515
00:29:46,662 --> 00:29:50,082
- You said that this would be my show.
- Yeah, and it is. It is.
516
00:29:51,250 --> 00:29:52,543
So make it yours.
517
00:29:55,963 --> 00:29:57,339
You know what I love about TV?
518
00:30:01,677 --> 00:30:02,678
Everything.
519
00:30:03,679 --> 00:30:09,309
It has the power to transport
and entertain.
520
00:30:10,269 --> 00:30:13,355
It can make you feel a part of something.
521
00:30:15,148 --> 00:30:20,696
The problem with the show today wasn't
a set problem or a wardrobe problem.
522
00:30:20,696 --> 00:30:26,660
It-- It's more I wanted to see you be you.
Not just a scientist.
523
00:30:26,660 --> 00:30:29,371
But I am a scientist. That is who I am.
524
00:30:29,371 --> 00:30:30,956
That may be.
525
00:30:32,249 --> 00:30:34,877
But that's only a start.
526
00:30:43,927 --> 00:30:45,929
["Someday Baby" playing]
527
00:30:49,266 --> 00:30:53,395
[Mad] Mrs. Mudford said I've been doing
really, really well in class.
528
00:30:53,395 --> 00:30:58,859
I bit my tongue till it bled when she
had us draw penguins with coats and hats.
529
00:30:58,859 --> 00:31:00,360
- I guess she doesn't know...
- Hmm.
530
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,031
...that many groups of penguins
actually live below the equator.
531
00:31:04,031 --> 00:31:05,741
Well, that is a common misconception.
532
00:31:05,741 --> 00:31:08,285
And I haven't asked the librarian
for a single book!
533
00:31:08,285 --> 00:31:09,286
And at the cafeteria,
534
00:31:09,286 --> 00:31:11,413
- I didn't share my lunch with Amanda--
- Mad.
535
00:31:11,413 --> 00:31:13,665
I understand that you're nervous
about switching schools.
536
00:31:13,665 --> 00:31:16,335
But change is good. Change is evolution.
537
00:31:17,211 --> 00:31:19,671
We're gonna split up. Do you wanna do
the butcher counter or dairy?
538
00:31:20,255 --> 00:31:21,965
Can't I just stay with you?
539
00:31:24,676 --> 00:31:25,969
Sure, bunny.
540
00:31:32,226 --> 00:31:35,270
[sighs]
541
00:31:36,188 --> 00:31:37,189
[sniffs]
542
00:31:38,315 --> 00:31:40,234
- [Elizabeth] Come in.
- [door lock clicks]
543
00:31:40,234 --> 00:31:43,570
So, um, small, tiny,
little change in plans.
544
00:31:43,570 --> 00:31:45,906
- Nothing big. Uh...
- [Elizabeth] Yes?
545
00:31:45,906 --> 00:31:47,282
...really barely perceptible.
546
00:31:47,282 --> 00:31:48,450
Walter.
547
00:31:48,450 --> 00:31:50,369
Uh, we, um--
548
00:31:50,369 --> 00:31:53,956
Uh, Supper at Six is airing tonight.
Today. Right now.
549
00:31:54,790 --> 00:31:57,376
On TV? But we still have
two more weeks of rehearsals.
550
00:31:57,376 --> 00:32:01,296
The reruns of the show
that you replaced are not performing.
551
00:32:01,296 --> 00:32:03,131
And here's the thing.
Here's the good news.
552
00:32:03,131 --> 00:32:05,259
And I maybe should've said this earlier.
553
00:32:05,259 --> 00:32:09,346
We're the lowest-rated channel,
so very few people will be tuned in.
554
00:32:09,346 --> 00:32:11,098
And, uh, Phil hates us,
555
00:32:11,098 --> 00:32:13,809
and he actually may be doing this
as a reason to cancel the show.
556
00:32:14,393 --> 00:32:18,063
So when you said you liaise with talent,
is this what you were referring to?
557
00:32:18,063 --> 00:32:19,648
I did not say I was good at it.
558
00:32:21,775 --> 00:32:22,776
Break a leg.
559
00:32:23,277 --> 00:32:24,361
I am considering it.
560
00:32:26,530 --> 00:32:27,531
[Walter sighs]
561
00:32:31,535 --> 00:32:34,663

562
00:32:34,663 --> 00:32:37,958
Testing. Testing. One, two, three.
563
00:32:41,837 --> 00:32:44,631
- Shari, take note of this placement.
- [Shari] Mm-hmm.
564
00:32:44,631 --> 00:32:47,634
Let's go! Let's go, people!
565
00:32:48,302 --> 00:32:50,888
- Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
- [claps]
566
00:32:53,390 --> 00:32:57,895
We're live in five, four, three...
[mouthing words] ...two, one.
567
00:33:14,203 --> 00:33:17,331
I take cooking seriously,
and I know you do too.
568
00:33:17,998 --> 00:33:21,293
I also know that your time is precious,
and, well, so is mine.
569
00:33:21,293 --> 00:33:24,838
Is that a fucking pencil?
What does she need a fucking pencil for?
570
00:33:24,838 --> 00:33:28,467
In my experience, people do not appreciate
the work and sacrifice
571
00:33:28,467 --> 00:33:31,470
that goes into being
a mother, a wife, a woman.
572
00:33:32,262 --> 00:33:33,931
Well, I am not one of those people.
573
00:33:34,515 --> 00:33:37,935
At the end of our time here together,
we will have done something worth doing.
574
00:33:38,602 --> 00:33:41,563
We will have created
something that will not go unnoticed.
575
00:33:41,563 --> 00:33:44,107
We will have made supper,
and it will matter.
576
00:33:46,235 --> 00:33:48,403
I prefer to have room
when I'm doing my work.
577
00:33:48,403 --> 00:33:51,865
It reinforces that the work we're doing
together is important.
578
00:33:52,699 --> 00:33:55,244
Um, Harry, would you mind helping me
clear these things?
579
00:33:55,244 --> 00:33:57,829
And Eugene, Amos. Thank you.
580
00:34:03,377 --> 00:34:04,962
[sighs]
581
00:34:09,842 --> 00:34:12,678
Cooking is chemistry,
and chemistry is life.
582
00:34:12,678 --> 00:34:16,681
Your ability to change everything,
including yourself, starts here.
583
00:34:17,641 --> 00:34:18,725
Let's begin, shall we?
584
00:34:18,725 --> 00:34:20,393
[jazz playing]
585
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:28,819
[consultant]
What worked for you with the show?
586
00:34:29,527 --> 00:34:32,697
I'm an insomniac,
and it put me right to sleep.
587
00:34:32,697 --> 00:34:33,824
[chuckles]
588
00:34:34,324 --> 00:34:38,661
Potatoes are rich in vitamin C,
potassium and complex carbohydrates.
589
00:34:38,661 --> 00:34:41,831
I stand proudly with
the overlooked workhorse of the kitchen:
590
00:34:41,831 --> 00:34:43,583
women and baked potatoes.
591
00:34:43,583 --> 00:34:45,752
- [chuckling]
- Yes?
592
00:34:45,752 --> 00:34:48,547
- I actually thought that she was--
- Would it have killed her to smile?
593
00:34:48,547 --> 00:34:51,257
Totally.
And it looks like she's got a good figure,
594
00:34:51,257 --> 00:34:53,010
but she's hiding it
behind that weird coat.
595
00:34:53,010 --> 00:34:56,471
I am putting cinnamon in my chili.
I've never done that before.
596
00:34:56,972 --> 00:34:59,057
Don't be afraid to experiment
in the kitchen.
597
00:34:59,558 --> 00:35:02,644
Fearlessness in the kitchen
equates to fearlessness in life.
598
00:35:03,478 --> 00:35:06,106
Describe how you felt watching
the show in one word.
599
00:35:06,857 --> 00:35:08,525
- Bored. [sighs]
- Punished.
600
00:35:08,525 --> 00:35:11,069
- Drained. Depressed.
- Saddened. Lost.
601
00:35:11,862 --> 00:35:12,863
Yes, your word?
602
00:35:13,530 --> 00:35:14,364
Capable.
603
00:35:14,364 --> 00:35:17,117
[snorts] Capable?
What the hell does that even mean?
604
00:35:23,790 --> 00:35:25,626
And that is all we have time for today.
605
00:35:25,626 --> 00:35:26,960
I hope you'll join me tomorrow
606
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,296
as we explore
the fascinating world of temperature
607
00:35:29,296 --> 00:35:31,507
and how it affects taste receptor cells.
608
00:35:34,801 --> 00:35:38,680
Children, set the table. Your mother needs
a moment to herself. [sighs]
609
00:35:45,103 --> 00:35:46,980

I would see my new favorite detective.

[Mad] Hi, Mr. Wakely.
614
00:36:00,619 --> 00:36:04,623
Oh, I hope I'm not stepping on any toes,
but here's a list of all the St. Luke's
615
00:36:04,623 --> 00:36:10,045
in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona,
Arkansas, California, Colorado,
616
00:36:10,045 --> 00:36:11,964
Connecticut and Delaware.
617
00:36:11,964 --> 00:36:15,175
Now, it'll be up to you to get all
the way to Wisconsin and Wyoming.
618
00:36:15,175 --> 00:36:18,136
Wow. How did you do this?
619
00:36:18,136 --> 00:36:20,264
I got them from the yellow pages
at the library.
620
00:36:20,764 --> 00:36:24,101
You go state by state and look up all
the St. Luke's. And there's a lot too.
621
00:36:24,601 --> 00:36:26,436
Churches tend not to have
the greatest imagination
622
00:36:26,436 --> 00:36:27,896
when it comes down to names.
623
00:36:27,896 --> 00:36:29,606
Why are you helping me?
624
00:36:30,107 --> 00:36:32,651
Because people who don't ask questions
have blind faith,
625
00:36:32,651 --> 00:36:35,737
and blind faith is the furthest thing
from faith.
626
00:36:37,281 --> 00:36:39,241
- Can you say that again slower?
- [chuckles]
627
00:36:39,825 --> 00:36:41,869
-"How would you describe the host?"
- [phones ringing]
628
00:36:41,869 --> 00:36:47,791
"Stuck up." "Unpleasant."
"Didn't smile once."
629
00:36:48,375 --> 00:36:49,751
[Elizabeth] Smile?
630
00:36:49,751 --> 00:36:53,297
Do surgeons smile
while performing appendectomies? No.
631
00:36:53,297 --> 00:36:54,631
Would you want them to? No.
632
00:36:54,631 --> 00:36:56,592
- Mr. Lebensmal?
- Not now.
633
00:36:57,176 --> 00:37:00,304
If I tell you to smile,
you're gonna fucking smile.
634
00:37:00,304 --> 00:37:01,471
I will not.
635
00:37:01,471 --> 00:37:03,724
[stammers]
I think what Elizabeth is trying to say--
636
00:37:03,724 --> 00:37:05,601
He knows what I'm saying
because I'm saying it.
637
00:37:05,601 --> 00:37:07,686
- Listen to me, young lady.

638
00:37:07,686 --> 00:37:09,688

00:37:09,688 --> 00:37:11,607
- Do you understand?
- [Elizabeth] Mm-hmm.
640
00:37:11,607 --> 00:37:14,860
Will someone answer those fucking phones?
641
00:37:15,485 --> 00:37:18,030
[clears throat]
You cannot just come in here
642
00:37:18,030 --> 00:37:19,823
and do whatever the hell you want.
643
00:37:19,823 --> 00:37:23,952
I am not doing whatever the hell I want.
If I was, I would be in a research lab.
644
00:37:23,952 --> 00:37:25,787
[sighs] Let me explain something to you.
645
00:37:25,787 --> 00:37:29,875
Men are always trying to explain,
and women are expected to sit and listen.
646
00:37:30,459 --> 00:37:32,169
I do not want this job,
but I need the money
647
00:37:32,169 --> 00:37:35,255
and I will work harder than anyone
to make this a show that I am proud of.
648
00:37:35,255 --> 00:37:38,592
But you want a show that perpetuates
the myth that women are imbeciles
649
00:37:38,592 --> 00:37:40,010
and the biggest decision of their day
650
00:37:40,010 --> 00:37:41,678
is what color
they're gonna paint their nails.
651
00:37:41,678 --> 00:37:44,973
I will not do that, and there is no amount
of menace that will change my mind.
652
00:37:44,973 --> 00:37:49,102
A man wants his wife to make him a drink
after a long day at work.
653
00:37:49,102 --> 00:37:52,231
So make the fucking drink.
654
00:37:52,231 --> 00:37:55,192
Why do you assume
that his day was longer than hers?
655
00:37:55,776 --> 00:37:57,528
Why don't you make the fucking drink?
656
00:37:57,528 --> 00:37:58,987
- [Shari] Mr. Lebensmal.
- What?
657
00:37:58,987 --> 00:38:01,365
We're getting
a lot of calls about the show.
658
00:38:01,365 --> 00:38:03,617
Some confusion
about tomorrow's ingredients.
659
00:38:03,617 --> 00:38:07,079
Specifically, CH3COOH.
660
00:38:07,079 --> 00:38:09,748
Acetic acid. Uh, vinegar.
It's 4% acetic acid.
661
00:38:09,748 --> 00:38:11,792
I'm sorry. I should've put the list
in layman's terms.
662
00:38:11,792 --> 00:38:13,126
- [chuckles]
- [ringing continues]
663
00:38:13,126 --> 00:38:16,839
We might need to hire a few more girls
if the phones keep going like this.

[secretaries chattering]
665
00:38:20,384 --> 00:38:22,845
Uh, if you hold on, I can get you
that information in a second.
666
00:38:22,845 --> 00:38:26,807
[clears throat] CH3COOH is vinegar.
667
00:38:26,807 --> 00:38:28,225

Yes, that Elizabeth.
672
00:38:43,156 --> 00:38:44,908
I'm so happy that you liked the show.

676
00:38:56,461 --> 00:38:59,256
- What you're seeing is combustion.
- Yes.
677
00:38:59,256 --> 00:39:01,550
The effect is dramatic,
but the science is simple.
678
00:39:04,344 --> 00:39:07,556
- Best served with cake.

679
00:39:17,733 --> 00:39:21,737
[laughs]
I don't think I've ever curtsied before.
680
00:39:21,737 --> 00:39:25,574
Well, there's a first time for everything.
And a last. [laughs]
681
00:39:36,668 --> 00:39:38,212
I'll see you tomorrow.
682
00:39:38,212 --> 00:39:42,883
Children, set the table. Your mother needs
a moment to herself. [sighs]

[door lock clicks]
684
00:39:49,431 --> 00:39:51,391
Hello. Sorry, I'm a little late.
685
00:39:52,226 --> 00:39:53,227
A little?
686
00:39:54,144 --> 00:39:57,272
[sighs] Well, these women drove
all the way from San Francisco
687
00:39:57,272 --> 00:39:59,024
and had a million questions
about churned butter.
688
00:39:59,024 --> 00:40:01,693
And I had to go over the supply list
with the crew and--
689
00:40:01,693 --> 00:40:03,195
[sighs] Well, it doesn't matter.
690
00:40:03,946 --> 00:40:05,197
What did I miss?
691
00:40:05,864 --> 00:40:06,865
Everything.
692
00:40:10,702 --> 00:40:13,789
Well, there's only one thing to do
I suppose.

["Call Me Anything" playing]
694

So tell me. Tell me everything.
695
00:40:21,338 --> 00:40:26,218
Everyone that I've met at Caswell so far
seems polite and smart and there to learn.
696
00:40:26,718 --> 00:40:29,888
Well, the library is big.
697
00:40:31,056 --> 00:40:33,976
I checked out
The Real Life of Sebastian Knight,
698
00:40:33,976 --> 00:40:36,520
and so far, it's a pretty good book.
699
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,313
- [server] I am so sorry to interrupt...
- It--
700
00:40:38,313 --> 00:40:41,608
...but I watch your show every day
and the episode about soufflés
701
00:40:41,608 --> 00:40:44,570
and rising to the occasion
was really inspiring.
702
00:40:44,570 --> 00:40:46,780
My sister was afraid to ask her boss
for a raise,
703
00:40:46,780 --> 00:40:48,782
but I just told her what you said.
704
00:40:48,782 --> 00:40:53,954
That "fear is simply neurotransmitters
reacting to a perceived threat."
705
00:40:53,954 --> 00:40:56,039
And she got it. She got the raise.
706
00:40:56,623 --> 00:40:58,834
Wow. [stammers] That is fantastic.
707
00:40:58,834 --> 00:41:01,044
[softly] I'm gonna bring you
a free piece of cobbler.
708
00:41:01,628 --> 00:41:02,629
Thank you.

Cobbler.
710
00:41:08,635 --> 00:41:11,555
I'm sorry. Mad, will you please tell me
more about your book?
711
00:41:11,555 --> 00:41:15,976
- [sighs] Well--
- [server] Okay, here we go.
712
00:41:17,019 --> 00:41:19,855
Oh, and I am so sorry, could you just
please sign this? [chuckles]
713
00:41:20,772 --> 00:41:21,773
Mmm. Of course.

[server] Thank you. [chuckles]
715
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,112
- Wow. Thank you. [chuckles]
- Thank you.
716
00:41:30,741 --> 00:41:33,869
Again, I'm very sorry.
You have my full attention.
717
00:41:36,914 --> 00:41:38,332
Can we just go home?
718
00:41:41,126 --> 00:41:43,504
Why don't we finish our dinner,
and then we'll go home.

00:41:45,172 --> 00:41:46,340
Okay.
