1
00:00:22,272 --> 00:00:23,857
Mom, look.
2
00:00:40,916 --> 00:00:42,000
What is it?
3
00:00:43,085 --> 00:00:44,586
A lead.
4
00:00:54,930 --> 00:00:56,431
Holy shit, it's a limo!
5
00:00:59,351 --> 00:01:00,561
It's a Cadillac!
6
00:01:01,311 --> 00:01:04,647
I bet he's a professional baseball player.
Or a movie star.
7
00:01:31,717 --> 00:01:36,471
Sir... I need to apologize to you. Please.
8
00:01:37,723 --> 00:01:41,351
My secretary misspoke
on the phone with you earlier.
9
00:01:41,935 --> 00:01:43,145
How so?
10
00:01:43,145 --> 00:01:45,647
Calvin Evans was here.
11
00:01:47,608 --> 00:01:48,859
Yeah, he was adopted.
12
00:01:48,859 --> 00:01:50,068
No, sir.
13
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,404
He was taken from us.
14
00:01:54,990 --> 00:01:56,617
Tuberculosis.
15
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,663
When did this happen?
16
00:02:01,663 --> 00:02:03,040
Last summer.
17
00:02:14,635 --> 00:02:16,970
Calvin was an extraordinary boy.
18
00:02:17,721 --> 00:02:20,432
Unparalleled aptitude for the sciences.
19
00:02:21,183 --> 00:02:24,561
He benefited so much
from the Remsen Foundation's support.
20
00:02:39,952 --> 00:02:41,036
Calvin.
21
00:02:41,620 --> 00:02:45,040
I'm sorry... but he doesn't want you.
22
00:04:22,095 --> 00:04:25,474
- Supper at Six. Can I help you?
- Supper at Six. Yes.
23
00:04:27,351 --> 00:04:29,061
Who are those for?
24
00:04:29,061 --> 00:04:31,313
Next time, let me know.
I have a singular florist.
25
00:04:31,313 --> 00:04:34,024
I got them for the office.
You said it was drab.
26
00:04:34,816 --> 00:04:36,777
I wanted to de-drab it.
27
00:04:38,612 --> 00:04:40,030
Well, they're beautiful.
28
00:04:42,658 --> 00:04:44,368
- It doesn't weigh as...
- Thank you.
29
00:04:44,368 --> 00:04:46,870
Good morning.
The Remsen Foundation hasn't called back.
30
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:48,121
I wasn't going to ask.
31
00:04:48,121 --> 00:04:50,082
But since you've brought it up,
that's very rude of them.
32
00:04:50,082 --> 00:04:52,292
I always make a point
of returning all my outstanding calls
33
00:04:52,292 --> 00:04:53,752
- by the end of the day.
- Of course.
34
00:04:53,752 --> 00:04:55,462
Because you are a citizen
of a civil society.
35
00:04:55,462 --> 00:04:57,297
I mean, Mad's about
to drive down there herself.
36
00:04:57,297 --> 00:04:58,298
- Miss Zott.
- Also--
37
00:04:58,298 --> 00:04:59,216
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
38
00:04:59,216 --> 00:05:00,592
- Hello.
- Hi.
39
00:05:00,592 --> 00:05:01,593
Yes?
40
00:05:01,593 --> 00:05:03,762
Actually, never mind. It's nothing.
41
00:05:04,471 --> 00:05:06,014
Fran, you never have nothing to say.
42
00:05:07,224 --> 00:05:09,643
It's personal. It's not show-related.
So if you wanted to--
43
00:05:09,643 --> 00:05:12,604
That is convenient because
we are friends and also colleagues.
44
00:05:13,939 --> 00:05:15,148
I have a crush on Walter.
45
00:05:17,442 --> 00:05:19,695
- This is fantastic.
- I said, stop smiling.
46
00:05:19,695 --> 00:05:22,990
I can't. I won't.
You must ask him to dinner.
47
00:05:23,532 --> 00:05:26,785
- No. The man asks.
- Not if the man is shy.
48
00:05:26,785 --> 00:05:28,579
Not if the man
doesn't value his self-worth.
49
00:05:28,579 --> 00:05:31,582
Not if the woman is confident.
Not if the woman knows what she wants.
50
00:05:32,291 --> 00:05:33,500
Forget I said anything.
51
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:35,919
That is impossible.
I have an impeccable memory. You--
52
00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:38,672
- Yes, hello. Hi.
- Phil is asking for you both on the stage.
53
00:05:38,672 --> 00:05:41,466
- Will Walter be there?
- Yes, Walter too.
54
00:05:41,466 --> 00:05:43,260
We'll be right there.
55
00:05:43,260 --> 00:05:44,553
- Thank you.
- Sure.
56
00:05:44,553 --> 00:05:46,847
- I can't wait for this meeting. Walter?
- Forget it.
57
00:05:46,847 --> 00:05:48,640
I can't. Walter.
58
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,018
Swift & Crisp is dead.
59
00:05:51,018 --> 00:05:53,437
Why? Our numbers are holding.
60
00:05:54,104 --> 00:05:57,482
They believe that politics
don't belong in the kitchen.
61
00:05:58,525 --> 00:06:01,111
- May they rest in peace.
- You find this funny?
62
00:06:01,111 --> 00:06:04,406
- No, I don't find racism funny.
- Okay.
63
00:06:05,032 --> 00:06:07,951
So we have our work cut out for us.
We'll find another sponsor.
64
00:06:07,951 --> 00:06:12,414
No. I can't even get a cat food company
to return my calls.
65
00:06:12,414 --> 00:06:13,832
You don't believe me?
66
00:06:14,917 --> 00:06:16,001
You know what?
67
00:06:16,001 --> 00:06:20,756
You mock me, you belittle me,
you dismiss our sponsors.
68
00:06:20,756 --> 00:06:23,800
You think that this show is some kind
of public service.
69
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,678
Well, guess what?
It's not. It's a business.
70
00:06:26,678 --> 00:06:28,055
So here's your deadline.
71
00:06:28,055 --> 00:06:30,974
Two weeks to find a sponsor
or you're fired.
72
00:06:31,642 --> 00:06:33,685
Enjoy these last few days.
73
00:06:35,646 --> 00:06:39,107
We're only missing one vote
to stop the construction of the freeway.
74
00:06:39,107 --> 00:06:41,026
The undecideds are Thompson and Sommers,
75
00:06:41,026 --> 00:06:43,195
and neither is conveniently
returning my calls.
76
00:06:46,198 --> 00:06:47,324
Really?
77
00:06:48,742 --> 00:06:49,785
Thank you.
78
00:06:54,122 --> 00:06:55,415
Is everything okay?
79
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:56,834
We have it.
80
00:06:58,961 --> 00:07:01,839
Thompson is out, but Sommers is in!
We have the vote.
81
00:07:02,422 --> 00:07:03,590
You're sure?
82
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:06,218
It only took seven years,
three hundred motions
83
00:07:06,218 --> 00:07:09,012
and half-a-dozen trips to Sacramento,
but surly, old,
84
00:07:09,012 --> 00:07:10,764
beautiful Sommers is in.
85
00:07:11,598 --> 00:07:13,559
- Anything for me to do?
- Yes.
86
00:07:13,559 --> 00:07:15,435
Pray that that man
doesn't drop dead of a heart attack
87
00:07:15,435 --> 00:07:17,688
- before Tuesday's vote.
- I'm headed to church.
88
00:07:17,688 --> 00:07:21,066
Go. Yes!
89
00:07:24,528 --> 00:07:26,071
- She's just so clever.
- Oh, my God.
90
00:07:26,071 --> 00:07:27,948
I can't believe
that she actually called herself.
91
00:07:29,283 --> 00:07:30,993
- What if she comes?
- Good morning.
92
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,954
Welcome back into town, sir.
93
00:07:35,205 --> 00:07:36,456
What am I missing?
94
00:07:36,456 --> 00:07:38,542
Elizabeth Zott personally called,
95
00:07:38,542 --> 00:07:40,460
not once, not twice, but three times.
96
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:41,753
Who's Elizabeth Zott?
97
00:07:41,753 --> 00:07:45,382
Elizabeth Zott! Supper at Six?
She's on television.
98
00:07:45,382 --> 00:07:47,134
Why does she want to talk to me?
99
00:07:47,134 --> 00:07:48,427
That's what we're desperate to know.
100
00:07:48,427 --> 00:07:50,304
Well, I'm on the edge of my seat.
101
00:07:50,304 --> 00:07:52,431
Get her on the line, please.
102
00:08:11,742 --> 00:08:15,495
Well, surely there should be a higher bar
to applause than stuffing mushrooms.
103
00:08:17,956 --> 00:08:21,418
Did you know that there are over
10,000 mushrooms varietals in the world,
104
00:08:21,418 --> 00:08:23,378
but only four to five percent are edible?
105
00:08:25,964 --> 00:08:28,217
When you think about it,
it's sort of like humans.
106
00:08:28,217 --> 00:08:30,886
There's only four to five percent
that I find digestible,
107
00:08:30,886 --> 00:08:31,970
wouldn't you agree?
108
00:08:34,722 --> 00:08:37,267
While we wait
for these mushrooms to roast,
109
00:08:37,267 --> 00:08:38,809
why don't we have a little Q&A?
110
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,063
Right here.
111
00:08:43,482 --> 00:08:44,900
Second row from the back.
112
00:08:47,152 --> 00:08:50,989
Miss Zott, I'm sure you don't remember me.
But I was here a few months ago.
113
00:08:51,657 --> 00:08:54,159
Dr. Fillis, open heart surgeon.
Of course, I remember.
114
00:08:55,327 --> 00:08:57,246
Well, not quite yet.
115
00:08:57,246 --> 00:09:00,707
But I did get accepted
into USC medical school.
116
00:09:03,043 --> 00:09:05,963
I knew you would. I knew you could.
117
00:09:06,672 --> 00:09:09,925
I'm the oldest student in the class
and I'm constantly exhausted,
118
00:09:09,925 --> 00:09:12,845
but I've also never been happier.
119
00:09:13,929 --> 00:09:16,181
Now that is worthy of applause.
120
00:09:28,569 --> 00:09:31,613
I just wanna thank you
for seeing something in me
121
00:09:31,613 --> 00:09:33,574
that I didn't see in myself.
122
00:09:36,702 --> 00:09:37,703
Thank you.
123
00:09:41,665 --> 00:09:42,916
Are there any other questions?
124
00:09:42,916 --> 00:09:44,668
Right here.
125
00:09:47,087 --> 00:09:50,382
You know,
in all of the excitement of the day,
126
00:09:50,382 --> 00:09:55,345
I forgot to tell you
about a giant opportunity. Big.
127
00:09:55,929 --> 00:09:56,930
I'm all ears.
128
00:09:56,930 --> 00:09:59,057
Woodrow Wilson Middle School asked you
129
00:09:59,057 --> 00:10:00,934
to be the judge
of their sixth grade science fair.
130
00:10:03,061 --> 00:10:05,856
I politely declined on your behalf.
131
00:10:06,857 --> 00:10:10,319
No. I'll do it.
Anything to distract my mind.
132
00:10:11,278 --> 00:10:12,321
Really?
133
00:10:12,321 --> 00:10:13,655
Really.
134
00:10:14,406 --> 00:10:16,617
I will call and make it so.
135
00:10:18,744 --> 00:10:20,245
Walter, are you currently dating someone?
136
00:10:20,245 --> 00:10:23,207
No. I function best alone.
137
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:25,876
I used to think that too.
138
00:10:26,835 --> 00:10:28,879
- And then?
- I met Calvin.
139
00:10:32,132 --> 00:10:36,261
If the opportunity presents itself--
love, I mean--
140
00:10:37,930 --> 00:10:39,264
I'd like you to consider it.
141
00:10:42,184 --> 00:10:44,269
God, I feel like I'm in a shrink's office.
142
00:10:45,687 --> 00:10:46,688
Well...
143
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,651
Off to call more sponsors.
144
00:10:50,651 --> 00:10:51,735
Walter...
145
00:10:55,364 --> 00:10:59,826
Doing this was not...
what I asked for or what I wanted.
146
00:11:01,245 --> 00:11:04,665
But now that I feel the show
being pulled away from me,
147
00:11:06,333 --> 00:11:09,002
I feel like a piece
of me is going with it.
148
00:11:11,755 --> 00:11:12,923
Elizabeth.
149
00:11:13,423 --> 00:11:14,883
I am your producer.
150
00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:21,139
It is my professional duty
and my personal choice to have your back.
151
00:11:22,808 --> 00:11:24,518
Whatever happens, that won't change.
152
00:11:26,395 --> 00:11:27,396
Thank you.
153
00:11:27,396 --> 00:11:28,856
Now if you'll excuse me,
154
00:11:28,856 --> 00:11:32,192
I have to go RSVP to a bunch
of six graders on your behalf.
155
00:11:44,746 --> 00:11:45,998
Elizabeth Zott.
156
00:11:46,915 --> 00:11:48,917
Yes, it's the real Elizabeth Zott.
157
00:11:51,336 --> 00:11:54,673
Yes, but I would prefer to meet in person.
What is your address?
158
00:12:01,972 --> 00:12:03,849
- Are you nervous?
- No.
159
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,269
Because it would be perfectly fine
to be nervous.
160
00:12:07,269 --> 00:12:09,730
- I'm nervous.
- You are?
161
00:12:10,939 --> 00:12:11,857
I am.
162
00:12:14,109 --> 00:12:15,527
It's you and me.
163
00:12:29,666 --> 00:12:33,629
I've never seen this one. He's so serious.
164
00:12:35,464 --> 00:12:38,550
Sorry I'm late. Harry Wilson.
165
00:12:39,301 --> 00:12:41,303
I told my wife you were coming by,
166
00:12:41,303 --> 00:12:44,389
and she shrieked like you were Elvis.
167
00:12:44,389 --> 00:12:46,099
How can I help you?
168
00:12:48,018 --> 00:12:51,772
Mr. Wilson, this may sound peculiar,
169
00:12:51,772 --> 00:12:54,858
but we are here to ask some questions
about Calvin Evans.
170
00:12:57,110 --> 00:13:00,280
Why did the Remsen Foundation
support Calvin his whole life?
171
00:13:02,157 --> 00:13:04,743
I'm sorry, how do you know Calvin Evans?
172
00:13:05,869 --> 00:13:07,204
He--
173
00:13:11,208 --> 00:13:13,502
This is Mad, my daughter.
174
00:13:14,419 --> 00:13:15,754
Mine and Calvin's.
175
00:13:23,637 --> 00:13:24,721
Please...
176
00:13:25,472 --> 00:13:31,353
Please, hold on.
It's not for me to explain.
177
00:13:38,652 --> 00:13:40,070
Oh, my goodness.
178
00:13:53,959 --> 00:13:54,960
Hi.
179
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,838
Ms. Parker, I have an urgent message.
180
00:14:18,775 --> 00:14:22,988
You must be Mad. I'm Avery.
181
00:14:23,739 --> 00:14:25,115
I'm your...
182
00:14:27,743 --> 00:14:28,869
Calvin's mother.
183
00:14:31,121 --> 00:14:32,247
It's okay.
184
00:14:36,210 --> 00:14:37,294
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
185
00:14:39,004 --> 00:14:40,005
Come on, bunny.
186
00:14:50,140 --> 00:14:51,892
There's so much I wanna ask, but--
187
00:14:51,892 --> 00:14:54,603
Why did you give my dad
to that boys' home?
188
00:14:57,356 --> 00:14:58,815
I...
189
00:15:02,653 --> 00:15:05,155
If it's okay, I think
I'd like to start from the beginning.
190
00:15:09,326 --> 00:15:10,661
When I was 16,
191
00:15:11,745 --> 00:15:15,499
I got pregnant accidentally.
192
00:15:19,294 --> 00:15:23,674
Here you go. All right. Easy.
193
00:15:23,674 --> 00:15:27,177
Having a baby was
the most extraordinary thing
194
00:15:27,177 --> 00:15:29,304
that had ever happened to me.
195
00:15:30,722 --> 00:15:32,724
But like most things in my life,
196
00:15:32,724 --> 00:15:36,854
my parents had other plans,
and I had no say.
197
00:15:36,854 --> 00:15:38,689
No. Please. No.
198
00:15:41,775 --> 00:15:43,443
I didn't know where they brought him.
199
00:15:44,111 --> 00:15:45,529
I had no picture of him.
200
00:15:47,114 --> 00:15:51,660
But the one wish that they did honor
was his name. Calvin.
201
00:15:53,370 --> 00:15:55,956
I only knew him for a matter of minutes,
202
00:15:55,956 --> 00:16:00,419
but his existence
changed the entire course of my life.
203
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,089
When I turned 25,
204
00:16:04,089 --> 00:16:06,925
I gained access to my trust fund,
205
00:16:06,925 --> 00:16:11,138
and I hired a lawyer
to help me find Calvin.
206
00:16:11,138 --> 00:16:13,599
Wilson became like a father to me.
207
00:16:14,892 --> 00:16:17,394
I also started the Remsen Foundation
208
00:16:17,394 --> 00:16:21,356
{\an8}and donated money to boys' homes
within a 300-mile radius
209
00:16:21,356 --> 00:16:23,275
{\an8}in hopes that I could help him from afar.
210
00:16:25,068 --> 00:16:26,153
We never stopped looking.
211
00:16:29,031 --> 00:16:30,949
And then, one day,
212
00:16:30,949 --> 00:16:35,412
it was as if the clouds lifted
and the heavens parted,
213
00:16:35,412 --> 00:16:37,581
and Wilson managed to find him,
214
00:16:38,916 --> 00:16:42,711
only to be told that he had recently died.
215
00:16:47,299 --> 00:16:50,135
That hope popped like a balloon.
216
00:16:51,887 --> 00:16:52,971
It flattened me.
217
00:16:54,264 --> 00:16:56,808
Wasn't until that magazine cover
218
00:16:57,643 --> 00:17:02,105
decades later that I saw him again.
219
00:17:17,204 --> 00:17:20,457
I don't much care
who's responsible for miracles.
220
00:17:20,958 --> 00:17:23,292
I only cared that this miracle was mine.
221
00:17:24,586 --> 00:17:28,339
{\an8}I wrote letter after letter,
asking to meet him...
222
00:17:29,633 --> 00:17:31,134
but I never heard back.
223
00:17:34,721 --> 00:17:36,014
And then, one day...
224
00:17:39,685 --> 00:17:42,896
I received a letter
in the mail from a law office.
225
00:17:42,896 --> 00:17:44,815
It was a cease and desist.
226
00:17:45,983 --> 00:17:47,359
I thought he hated me.
227
00:17:48,110 --> 00:17:50,153
That he wanted nothing to do with me.
228
00:17:50,779 --> 00:17:54,658
And he had every right.
I mean, I'd have hated me too.
229
00:17:58,704 --> 00:18:00,080
I came by your house once.
230
00:18:01,456 --> 00:18:05,002
I saw the two of you together.
231
00:18:06,336 --> 00:18:08,172
He looked so happy.
232
00:18:08,922 --> 00:18:10,174
So at peace.
233
00:18:13,594 --> 00:18:16,221
And I knew it was time
for me to let him go.
234
00:18:21,768 --> 00:18:24,271
Had I known he had a child...
235
00:18:27,858 --> 00:18:29,318
I'm so sorry.
236
00:18:30,527 --> 00:18:32,196
He thought that you were dead.
237
00:18:33,989 --> 00:18:36,074
What a poor boy to believe that.
238
00:18:38,869 --> 00:18:40,204
Tell me,
239
00:18:41,705 --> 00:18:43,040
what did I miss?
240
00:18:44,041 --> 00:18:45,751
Who was this man?
241
00:18:48,712 --> 00:18:52,758
He was brilliant, decent and kind.
242
00:18:56,678 --> 00:18:59,806
And a very funny dancer.
243
00:18:59,806 --> 00:19:03,685
I'm a funny dancer.
Are you a funny dancer too?
244
00:19:05,521 --> 00:19:06,688
I don't know.
245
00:19:09,483 --> 00:19:14,154
You know, I had hoped that we could
get to know each other a little bit.
246
00:19:15,572 --> 00:19:17,241
I never got the chance with Calvin,
247
00:19:17,241 --> 00:19:21,119
and I'd give anything
to get to know his daughter.
248
00:19:24,915 --> 00:19:26,542
My granddaughter.
249
00:19:29,253 --> 00:19:34,842
It's been a long journey to get here,
and we're gonna need some time.
250
00:19:35,676 --> 00:19:38,053
- Of course.
- Yeah.
251
00:19:40,472 --> 00:19:44,726
Can I ask, why did you name him Calvin?
Was that a family name?
252
00:19:45,519 --> 00:19:47,813
No, I named him after John Calvin.
253
00:19:49,147 --> 00:19:50,482
I'm not sure I know who that is.
254
00:19:51,942 --> 00:19:55,153
He was a 16th-century theologian
255
00:19:55,153 --> 00:19:58,365
that your great-great-grandmother
used to read to me.
256
00:19:59,366 --> 00:20:01,451
He believed in predestination.
257
00:20:04,496 --> 00:20:05,789
A theologian.
258
00:20:07,916 --> 00:20:10,210
That would have delighted him.
259
00:20:13,338 --> 00:20:15,382
I hope to hear from you soon.
260
00:20:36,820 --> 00:20:40,324
Do you wanna talk about today?
About meeting your grandmother?
261
00:20:42,534 --> 00:20:45,621
I thought that when I got
to the end of the mystery,
262
00:20:46,121 --> 00:20:47,998
it was going to feel different.
263
00:20:50,042 --> 00:20:51,043
Well, in science,
264
00:20:51,043 --> 00:20:53,629
discoveries usually lead
to more questions.
265
00:20:54,838 --> 00:20:57,257
I don't wanna ask more questions.
266
00:20:57,799 --> 00:20:59,343
I just want my dad.
267
00:21:02,221 --> 00:21:05,474
I know. I miss him so much.
268
00:21:08,227 --> 00:21:10,979
But you know, I see him in you.
269
00:21:11,563 --> 00:21:12,773
You do?
270
00:21:18,278 --> 00:21:21,532
You know how your brow crinkles
when you're frustrated?
271
00:21:22,032 --> 00:21:24,409
Or how you always read three books
at once?
272
00:21:25,118 --> 00:21:29,915
Or how you forget to eat sometimes when
you're thinking so much? That's all him.
273
00:21:32,501 --> 00:21:37,172
Dad told Wakely that Great Expectations
was his favorite book.
274
00:21:37,923 --> 00:21:38,924
And it's mine too.
275
00:21:42,636 --> 00:21:45,222
You know that coloring book you have,
the paint by numbers?
276
00:21:47,099 --> 00:21:52,229
Imagine that every person that you meet,
every place that you go,
277
00:21:52,896 --> 00:21:56,692
every letter that you read about your dad
is just another color,
278
00:21:57,234 --> 00:21:58,652
painting in the picture of him.
279
00:22:01,864 --> 00:22:03,448
That's a metaphor.
280
00:22:03,448 --> 00:22:04,533
It is.
281
00:22:06,285 --> 00:22:08,036
Hey, do you wanna play hooky
with me tomorrow?
282
00:22:08,620 --> 00:22:10,539
I played hooky with you today.
283
00:22:10,539 --> 00:22:13,000
I know. You're getting very good at it.
284
00:22:21,842 --> 00:22:25,012
When your eyes see the image
through the red and blue filters,
285
00:22:25,012 --> 00:22:27,222
the image
appears to be coming right at you.
286
00:22:30,684 --> 00:22:34,688
Well, that is a very meticulous drawing
of a panther. Thank you.
287
00:22:37,107 --> 00:22:38,609
Well, what do you think?
288
00:22:39,276 --> 00:22:41,236
I prefer the humanities.
289
00:22:43,530 --> 00:22:44,740
And what do we have here?
290
00:22:45,324 --> 00:22:47,326
Well, my father owns a bakery,
291
00:22:47,826 --> 00:22:50,037
and I wanted to test
the effects of different environments
292
00:22:50,037 --> 00:22:51,663
for slowing the growth of mold.
293
00:22:51,663 --> 00:22:54,166
Wow. Well, that will be
very helpful to your father.
294
00:22:54,166 --> 00:22:55,709
Do you wanna be a baker when you grow up?
295
00:22:56,293 --> 00:22:59,379
No, I wanna be a biologist.
296
00:23:00,214 --> 00:23:04,510
You do? Well, have you read
Charles Darwin's Descent of Man?
297
00:23:05,093 --> 00:23:07,763
Or Erwin Schrödinger's What Is Life?
298
00:23:07,763 --> 00:23:09,932
I have not, but I will. Thank you.
299
00:23:11,058 --> 00:23:12,601
Of course. Best of luck to you.
300
00:23:15,771 --> 00:23:18,649
- I love watching you on TV...
- Thank you, bunny.
301
00:23:19,983 --> 00:23:21,818
...but I don't think you belong there.
302
00:23:23,987 --> 00:23:24,988
Where do I belong?
303
00:23:24,988 --> 00:23:26,573
A laboratory.
304
00:23:28,325 --> 00:23:29,826
Well, I made a choice.
305
00:23:29,826 --> 00:23:32,329
A choice that I would make
a thousand times over.
306
00:23:32,329 --> 00:23:33,705
But I will always be a chemist.
307
00:23:34,206 --> 00:23:35,999
Chemists do chemistry.
308
00:23:48,428 --> 00:23:50,222
Charlie, tell me if this is long enough.
309
00:23:50,222 --> 00:23:53,183
This looks really long. This looks great.
310
00:23:53,183 --> 00:23:55,185
- Make it a bit longer.
- Are you sure?
311
00:23:57,938 --> 00:23:58,939
Make it a little longer.
312
00:24:00,274 --> 00:24:02,568
Why don't we drink
spiced cider year-round?
313
00:24:02,568 --> 00:24:04,611
One of life's great mysteries.
314
00:24:05,445 --> 00:24:06,446
Here you go, Junior.
315
00:24:06,947 --> 00:24:08,615
How's Mad feeling about Calvin's mother?
316
00:24:10,158 --> 00:24:11,159
I don't know.
317
00:24:11,952 --> 00:24:13,579
I don't know where she fits.
318
00:24:14,454 --> 00:24:17,541
You, Charlie, Linda, Junior,
you're our family.
319
00:24:18,625 --> 00:24:20,836
You and Mad
are definitely part of our family,
320
00:24:21,336 --> 00:24:24,131
but if you recall,
that's not where we started.
321
00:24:25,549 --> 00:24:30,637
I just want Mad to feel safe and be loved.
And she has all of that.
322
00:24:31,555 --> 00:24:33,682
You say that like love is finite.
323
00:24:34,975 --> 00:24:38,187
It never hurts to have more people
who love and care for that little girl.
324
00:24:39,897 --> 00:24:43,192
Which reminds me,
I have not properly thanked you
325
00:24:43,192 --> 00:24:46,153
for saving that little girl's home
and the rest of the neighborhood.
326
00:24:47,613 --> 00:24:48,614
Goodness.
327
00:24:49,323 --> 00:24:52,326
Well, we're not there yet,
but after Tuesday's vote,
328
00:24:52,326 --> 00:24:55,537
I do expect a lifetime of beer
and blueberry pie for my efforts.
329
00:25:00,209 --> 00:25:01,210
The freeway here...
330
00:25:03,378 --> 00:25:06,131
is just one version of what they're doing
to communities like ours
331
00:25:06,131 --> 00:25:07,216
all over this country.
332
00:25:09,218 --> 00:25:12,679
The fight can't stop in Sugar Hill
or even California.
333
00:25:14,890 --> 00:25:18,519
Now, I may not have cameras on me,
but I'm a one-woman bullhorn.
334
00:25:21,271 --> 00:25:22,147
And so are you.
335
00:25:23,357 --> 00:25:26,568
For a few more weeks, anyway.
We still haven't found our sponsor.
336
00:25:27,569 --> 00:25:29,655
Something tells me
you're not shutting up anytime soon.
337
00:25:34,201 --> 00:25:37,037
Isn't this great?
338
00:25:37,663 --> 00:25:40,207
If we didn't have a ceiling,
I'd say it's beautiful.
339
00:25:42,334 --> 00:25:44,920
Now, all right. Let me get in there
before this man hurts himself.
340
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,506
I know you're not
putting your shoes on my couch.
341
00:25:49,550 --> 00:25:50,551
This man.
342
00:25:52,678 --> 00:25:55,681
- Should we continue it?
- Keep going.
343
00:26:00,477 --> 00:26:02,729
- Is there any word? What are we doing?
- She's never late.
344
00:26:02,729 --> 00:26:04,523
What do we do if she doesn't show?
345
00:26:04,523 --> 00:26:05,524
Can you cook?
346
00:26:05,524 --> 00:26:08,569
I can scoop ice cream into a bowl.
Does that count?
347
00:26:08,569 --> 00:26:10,237
Uh-uh.
348
00:26:10,237 --> 00:26:12,489
You know what?
I'll have Harry drive by her house.
349
00:26:12,489 --> 00:26:14,449
- Hey, Harry--
- Thank God.
350
00:26:14,449 --> 00:26:17,619
Sorry. I'm sorry. I had an appointment
across town, and it went over.
351
00:26:17,619 --> 00:26:20,372
Harry, these are for the audience.
Please place one of these under each seat.
352
00:26:20,372 --> 00:26:21,707
- There's another box in my car.
- Okay.
353
00:26:21,707 --> 00:26:24,251
Hi, Walter. I'm gonna need to
make a phone call before the show starts.
354
00:26:24,251 --> 00:26:26,920
- There is no time.
- Five minutes, people!
355
00:26:27,546 --> 00:26:30,841
Let's go. Perfect is the enemy of good.
356
00:26:31,925 --> 00:26:33,760
- You all right?
- I'm well. How are you?
357
00:26:34,261 --> 00:26:36,180
You have a look on your face. What is it?
358
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:37,681
Clarity.
359
00:27:00,579 --> 00:27:03,165
And now, Supper at Six
with Elizabeth Zott.
360
00:27:11,548 --> 00:27:15,344
We're live in five, four, three...
361
00:27:27,648 --> 00:27:32,319
Hello. My name is Elizabeth Zott,
and this is Supper at Six.
362
00:27:37,950 --> 00:27:40,369
I will be starting today's show
with a few announcements.
363
00:27:41,245 --> 00:27:45,415
Before we dive into the chemical compounds
of a baked-ham glaze,
364
00:27:45,415 --> 00:27:49,795
you may notice that there are no
Swift & Crisp products littering our set.
365
00:27:49,795 --> 00:27:52,130
Well, that is because
they dropped our show.
366
00:27:52,756 --> 00:27:55,092
And for that, I thank them.
367
00:27:57,094 --> 00:27:59,930
I know that everyone doesn't stand
for what I stand for,
368
00:28:00,514 --> 00:28:02,766
but our convictions mean nothing
if we don't voice them.
369
00:28:02,766 --> 00:28:06,228
Swift & Crisp is vile
on a sub-chemical level.
370
00:28:06,228 --> 00:28:08,772
Seed oils are damaging
to your mitochondria.
371
00:28:08,772 --> 00:28:10,816
And the fact that I told you
to put that in your body
372
00:28:10,816 --> 00:28:12,651
will haunt me for the rest of my days.
373
00:28:13,777 --> 00:28:18,532
But luckily, we have a new sponsor.
One that aligns with our values.
374
00:28:21,451 --> 00:28:22,703
Tampax.
375
00:28:25,414 --> 00:28:26,373
When did this happen?
376
00:28:27,332 --> 00:28:28,876
I have no idea.
377
00:28:28,876 --> 00:28:31,086
I have been using Tampax for years.
378
00:28:31,086 --> 00:28:33,964
They are soft, durable and hygienic.
379
00:28:33,964 --> 00:28:36,425
Please look under your seat.
There's a present for you.
380
00:28:41,847 --> 00:28:45,434
For the men watching who haven't
bothered to ask about menstruation,
381
00:28:45,434 --> 00:28:46,518
I'll explain it to you.
382
00:28:47,060 --> 00:28:50,606
It is the process where blood discharges
from the lining of the uterus
383
00:28:50,606 --> 00:28:52,983
in intervals of one lunar month,
384
00:28:54,026 --> 00:28:56,695
from puberty to menopause,
except during pregnancy.
385
00:28:59,156 --> 00:29:02,284
I had a call with the head of our network
this afternoon and relayed that to him.
386
00:29:02,284 --> 00:29:03,535
And he agreed with me.
387
00:29:03,535 --> 00:29:05,704
She said the word "uterus" to Kenneth?
388
00:29:05,704 --> 00:29:09,082
...a partner we can be proud of. But that
was not the sole purpose of my call.
389
00:29:13,629 --> 00:29:14,922
I am leaving Supper At Six.
390
00:29:18,926 --> 00:29:22,679
Did you know about this?
This is not what we discussed.
391
00:29:23,764 --> 00:29:26,099
I will be stepping down on live TV.
392
00:29:26,099 --> 00:29:28,810
And as someone
who has studied television exhaustively,
393
00:29:28,810 --> 00:29:31,522
I predict an uptick in viewership
for the next few weeks.
394
00:29:31,522 --> 00:29:35,817
Hosting this show
has been the thrill of a lifetime.
395
00:29:37,528 --> 00:29:40,447
And I have every single one of you
to thank for that.
396
00:29:42,533 --> 00:29:45,619
We set out to do something that matters,
and I believe that we did.
397
00:29:46,370 --> 00:29:47,371
And, Kenneth,
398
00:29:47,871 --> 00:29:50,666
I will be doing all of this under
the condition that changes will be made.
399
00:29:53,585 --> 00:29:56,964
Kenneth. If I knew you were coming,
400
00:29:56,964 --> 00:29:58,799
I would have broken out the good stuff.
401
00:29:59,675 --> 00:30:00,676
You're fired.
402
00:30:01,552 --> 00:30:02,761
The show is yours.
403
00:30:10,269 --> 00:30:14,273
Every night, I ask your children
to give you a moment to yourself
404
00:30:15,774 --> 00:30:19,069
and, well,
I think it's time that I did just that.
405
00:30:21,321 --> 00:30:25,826
It is time for me to reflect,
regroup and figure out what is next.
406
00:30:28,620 --> 00:30:32,291
I bet you're wondering who
the next host of Supper At Six will be.
407
00:30:33,375 --> 00:30:36,044
Well, it will be one of you.
408
00:30:40,174 --> 00:30:41,925
Now, I know that that might sound scary.
409
00:30:42,467 --> 00:30:45,596
But remember,
courage is the root of change.
410
00:30:45,596 --> 00:30:48,599
And change is
what we are chemically designed for.
411
00:30:50,392 --> 00:30:53,020
I will not ask you to pull yourself up
by your bootstraps
412
00:30:53,020 --> 00:30:56,356
because many women do not have
bootstraps to pull themself up by.
413
00:30:58,108 --> 00:31:00,527
If your life has been anything like mine,
414
00:31:01,278 --> 00:31:03,906
your dreams will not come to you
in a linear fashion.
415
00:31:05,991 --> 00:31:08,535
But if you have
a voice you feel is not being heard,
416
00:31:10,162 --> 00:31:11,413
we would love to meet you.
417
00:31:17,169 --> 00:31:19,796
And with that, let's discuss glazed ham.
418
00:31:26,845 --> 00:31:28,263
Can I take you to dinner tonight?
419
00:31:29,765 --> 00:31:34,645
You wanna discuss the reshuffling...
420
00:31:35,687 --> 00:31:39,358
To discuss my feelings for you.
421
00:31:41,568 --> 00:31:43,612
What? Yes.
422
00:31:43,612 --> 00:31:46,698
I would very much like that.
423
00:31:46,698 --> 00:31:48,242
I'll pick you up at 6:45.
424
00:32:07,261 --> 00:32:08,595
Sorry for the delay.
425
00:32:09,096 --> 00:32:12,182
As soon as Councilman Sommers joins us,
we will begin.
426
00:32:19,857 --> 00:32:21,942
Thank you for joining us, Councilman.
427
00:32:24,862 --> 00:32:25,737
We're now on the record.
428
00:32:29,032 --> 00:32:32,286
The interstate highway system
is the future of this nation
429
00:32:32,870 --> 00:32:36,957
for the economy,
for growth and for national defense,
430
00:32:36,957 --> 00:32:38,458
should that ever be necessary.
431
00:32:39,543 --> 00:32:42,462
I'd like to thank both parties
for arguing so vociferously
432
00:32:42,963 --> 00:32:45,048
and passionately
over the past eight years.
433
00:32:45,841 --> 00:32:47,885
Progress has been halted long enough.
434
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,139
So, in the matter of
the California interstate highway system
435
00:32:52,139 --> 00:32:53,891
versus the West Adams/Sugar Hill committee,
436
00:32:54,641 --> 00:32:58,729
all those opposed to routing the highway
through West Adams/Sugar Hill?
437
00:33:07,571 --> 00:33:08,572
All in favor?
438
00:33:12,826 --> 00:33:14,036
The motion is passed.
439
00:33:40,646 --> 00:33:43,440
I tried calling.
I'm so sorry. What can I do?
440
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:52,491
Seven years.
441
00:33:55,327 --> 00:33:57,329
I just wanna eat brownies and cry.
442
00:33:58,121 --> 00:33:59,373
I can help with that.
443
00:34:01,124 --> 00:34:02,042
Brought beer.
444
00:34:03,168 --> 00:34:04,378
Beer could be good too.
445
00:34:06,713 --> 00:34:08,130
Come here.
446
00:34:24,523 --> 00:34:27,400
Three-quarter
going into full pressure in two.
447
00:34:28,694 --> 00:34:29,695
That's one.
448
00:34:31,864 --> 00:34:32,864
That's two.
449
00:34:33,782 --> 00:34:34,616
Full pressure.
450
00:35:02,019 --> 00:35:04,605
This is the place
where Calvin came to quiet his mind.
451
00:35:05,355 --> 00:35:09,443
I wanted to share it with you.
We had our first kiss right over there.
452
00:35:10,694 --> 00:35:12,112
Thank you for bringing me.
453
00:35:13,447 --> 00:35:16,533
Seeing Mad
with those giant, inquisitive eyes
454
00:35:16,533 --> 00:35:18,869
made me feel
like I was seeing a piece of him.
455
00:35:20,996 --> 00:35:22,206
She's smart, huh?
456
00:35:22,706 --> 00:35:23,707
Terrifyingly.
457
00:35:25,209 --> 00:35:26,752
I caught your show the other night.
You quit.
458
00:35:27,586 --> 00:35:30,047
I did. I want to get back to science.
459
00:35:31,507 --> 00:35:35,010
You know, I have
a foundation specifically geared
460
00:35:35,010 --> 00:35:37,304
toward funding the work of scientists.
461
00:35:37,804 --> 00:35:38,805
I am aware.
462
00:35:39,681 --> 00:35:43,810
Your application offers a "Mr.", no "Mrs."
and certainly not a "Miss."
463
00:35:45,896 --> 00:35:46,980
Well, I'll fix that.
464
00:35:47,814 --> 00:35:48,649
And after I do,
465
00:35:49,483 --> 00:35:52,653
I'd love to help you with whatever it is
you're interested in pursuing.
466
00:35:53,862 --> 00:35:55,864
Though I have the feeling
that you don't like help.
467
00:35:57,533 --> 00:36:01,453
No. As I've gotten older,
I've found help to be a gift.
468
00:36:38,657 --> 00:36:43,328
Hello. My name is Elizabeth Zott,
and welcome to Introduction to Chemistry.
469
00:36:44,705 --> 00:36:47,624
Please pass this to the person next to you
or behind you.
470
00:36:50,085 --> 00:36:52,838
And it is Miss Zott
until I graduate from the PhD program.
471
00:36:54,798 --> 00:36:57,301
Living things are made up of atoms.
472
00:36:57,801 --> 00:37:01,013
But, in most cases, those atoms
are not floating around individually.
473
00:37:01,597 --> 00:37:04,683
Instead, they are usually
interacting with other atoms.
474
00:37:05,934 --> 00:37:08,604
Both the strong bonds
that hold molecules together
475
00:37:08,604 --> 00:37:11,648
and the weaker bonds that create
temporary connections
476
00:37:11,648 --> 00:37:13,984
are essential
to the very existence of life.
477
00:37:14,902 --> 00:37:16,028
Yes?
478
00:37:16,028 --> 00:37:18,614
Is it random which atoms are connected?
479
00:37:19,698 --> 00:37:21,450
Think of your own life.
480
00:37:22,201 --> 00:37:23,911
You can't anticipate the moments.
481
00:37:24,494 --> 00:37:27,623
It's only when you look backwards
that you see how it was all connected.
482
00:37:28,457 --> 00:37:30,083
What does this have to do with chemistry?
483
00:37:31,502 --> 00:37:32,503
Everything.
484
00:37:34,171 --> 00:37:37,758
The only constant variable
in a chemical reaction is change.
485
00:37:38,509 --> 00:37:39,510
The unexpected.
486
00:37:40,844 --> 00:37:43,263
Our job here is not to avoid surprise.
487
00:37:44,014 --> 00:37:45,307
We can't control it.
488
00:37:45,891 --> 00:37:47,601
So there's only one thing left to do.
489
00:37:51,271 --> 00:37:52,397
Surrender.
490
00:37:52,940 --> 00:37:56,026
Now, we don't have to accept
the bad things,
491
00:37:56,026 --> 00:37:59,571
but we do have to accept
the inevitability of change.
492
00:38:00,405 --> 00:38:02,491
Both in ourselves and our circumstances.
493
00:38:06,662 --> 00:38:07,829
Charles Dickens.
494
00:38:09,373 --> 00:38:11,542
Not exactly known for his work
in the sciences.
495
00:38:14,795 --> 00:38:17,172
But the greatest scientist
that I have ever known
496
00:38:17,172 --> 00:38:19,174
kept this book on his bedside.
497
00:38:19,967 --> 00:38:21,802
He said it made him a better chemist.
498
00:38:22,636 --> 00:38:23,887
I laughed it off at the time
499
00:38:23,887 --> 00:38:26,181
because I found it to be
an absurd thing to say,
500
00:38:26,181 --> 00:38:27,599
which I'm sure you do now.
501
00:38:28,684 --> 00:38:31,436
However, I eventually relented and...
502
00:38:32,020 --> 00:38:33,981
and this is the page
that he had dog-eared.
503
00:38:38,527 --> 00:38:42,573
"That was a memorable day to me,
for it made great changes in me.
504
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,037
But, it is the same with any life.
505
00:38:53,417 --> 00:38:55,794
Imagine one selected day struck out of it,
506
00:38:57,754 --> 00:39:00,174
and think how different
its course would have been."
507
00:39:11,268 --> 00:39:13,020
"Pause, you who read this,
508
00:39:13,020 --> 00:39:17,316
and think for a moment
of the long chain of iron or gold,
509
00:39:18,692 --> 00:39:20,360
of thorns or flowers...
510
00:39:22,362 --> 00:39:23,864
that would never have bound you,
511
00:39:25,032 --> 00:39:27,826
but for the formation of the first link
512
00:39:29,036 --> 00:39:31,288
on one memorable day."
513
00:39:40,214 --> 00:39:43,008
Thank you! Thank you for everything.
514
00:39:50,265 --> 00:39:51,517
I love this so much.
515
00:39:59,525 --> 00:40:00,609
And what do we have here?
516
00:40:38,814 --> 00:40:40,148
Let's begin, shall we?
