1
00:00:03,837 --> 00:00:05,773
(Fox theme drumbeats)

2
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:09,009
This one I call
"the writer's journey."

3
00:00:11,179 --> 00:00:13,281
-Stuck between two thoughts.
-Mm-hmm.

4
00:00:13,314 --> 00:00:15,183
Lifelike. Wow.

5
00:00:15,216 --> 00:00:16,617
-What the...?
-I'm sorry about that.

6
00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:19,287
-Cooper's my social media
director. -Open your mouth.

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,955
-You're the boss.
-COOPER: Nice.

8
00:00:21,989 --> 00:00:25,159
-What magazine is this again?
-Teen BeTween the Lines.

9
00:00:25,193 --> 00:00:26,294
-Ma'am, you're in the shot.
-Ma'am, you're in the shot.

10
00:00:26,327 --> 00:00:28,362
-Oh, I'm... Okay.
-Still in the shot.

11
00:00:28,396 --> 00:00:30,198
-You're in the shot.
In the shot. -So... Oh.

12
00:00:30,231 --> 00:00:32,833
-Really? I guess this is on me.
-Good.

13
00:00:32,866 --> 00:00:35,136
-I could've gone left or right.
-NICK: Guys, let's take five.

14
00:00:35,169 --> 00:00:38,672
Or as Pepperwood would always
say, "Keep your knife dry."

15
00:00:38,706 --> 00:00:41,142
-#KeepYourKnife...
-(chuckles) Half that.

16
00:00:41,175 --> 00:00:43,377
-#KeepTheKnifeDry.
-Hashtag.

17
00:00:43,411 --> 00:00:45,479
Oof. I've got to go meet
with my editor.

18
00:00:45,513 --> 00:00:47,348
We're gonna talk
about the latest Pepperwood.

19
00:00:47,381 --> 00:00:49,983
Oh, the one you wrote in Europe?
He's gonna love it. (chuckles)

20
00:00:50,017 --> 00:00:51,819
Way more than the last book
he published,

21
00:00:51,852 --> 00:00:53,987
Dede, the Girl with A.D.D.

22
00:00:54,021 --> 00:00:56,023
That wouldn't even keep
my attention.

23
00:00:56,056 --> 00:00:58,326
-Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo. Burn.
-(laughs) Burn.

24
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:00,661
You got a lot of edge
this morning, sister.

25
00:01:00,694 --> 00:01:02,396
Damn right I do.
I'm a working girl now.

26
00:01:02,430 --> 00:01:03,997
Russell and I
are building libraries.

27
00:01:04,031 --> 00:01:05,666
He's got me rolling up
my sleeves

28
00:01:05,699 --> 00:01:07,235
to make it happen.
(chuckles)

29
00:01:07,268 --> 00:01:09,337
Hi, this is Jessica Day
from the Schiller Fund.

30
00:01:09,370 --> 00:01:12,173
I'm just calling to make sure
this is still the number

31
00:01:12,206 --> 00:01:14,208
for a Mr. Marvin Linklever.

32
00:01:14,242 --> 00:01:15,709
It is?
I'll put a check by your name.

33
00:01:15,743 --> 00:01:16,744
When you're done with the "L"s,

34
00:01:16,777 --> 00:01:18,346
this is the first batch of "M"s.

35
00:01:18,379 --> 00:01:19,513
Sounds like a lot of busywork.

36
00:01:19,547 --> 00:01:20,548
You cool with that?

37
00:01:20,581 --> 00:01:22,183
I'm leaning toward no.

38
00:01:22,216 --> 00:01:25,353
-(camera shutter clicking)
-I'm listening.

39
00:01:25,386 --> 00:01:28,356
But at least I have time
to have lunch with my girl Cece.

40
00:01:28,389 --> 00:01:30,424
We're celebrating
me getting this...

41
00:01:30,458 --> 00:01:32,526
-glamorous new job. -WINSTON:
Oh, hell yeah. (whoops)

42
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,262
Hey, what's up, guys?
What are you doing here?

43
00:01:34,295 --> 00:01:35,729
Check this out.
Look what I found.

44
00:01:35,763 --> 00:01:37,431
Three Men and a Little Box Set.

45
00:01:37,465 --> 00:01:39,200
The lady and the baby.

46
00:01:39,233 --> 00:01:40,901
-I got to watch this.
-JESS: Winston.

47
00:01:40,934 --> 00:01:42,570
-Hmm?
-How long have you been here?

48
00:01:42,603 --> 00:01:44,372
Not long, like, three,
four, five hours.

49
00:01:44,405 --> 00:01:46,240
-Something like that.
-You don't live here, man.

50
00:01:46,274 --> 00:01:48,942
-I'm doing a slow move. -(phone
ringing) -Oh. Mm. Duty calls.

51
00:01:48,976 --> 00:01:51,379
(chuckles)
It's Russell. My boss.

52
00:01:51,412 --> 00:01:55,048
Hey, Russell, what's up? What
you got? Oh, big meeting today.

53
00:01:55,082 --> 00:01:57,451
Yeah, I'll, um...
I'll get some parking cones.

54
00:01:57,485 --> 00:01:58,952
-Ma'am, you're in the shot.
-I am?

55
00:01:58,986 --> 00:02:00,388
Yeah, still in the shot.
Still. Still.

56
00:02:00,421 --> 00:02:02,256
In the shot, in the shot,
in the shot, in the shot,

57
00:02:02,290 --> 00:02:03,657
-in the shot...
-Hold on, Russell,

58
00:02:03,691 --> 00:02:05,058
I just have to crawl out
of my apartment.

59
00:02:05,092 --> 00:02:06,727
In the shot, in the shot,
in the shot,

60
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,262
in the shot, in the shot,
in the shot, in the shot,

61
00:02:08,296 --> 00:02:09,597
in the shot, in the shot,
in the shot, in the...

62
00:02:09,630 --> 00:02:11,632
*

63
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,435
Cece, I was up all night

64
00:02:14,468 --> 00:02:16,537
trying to put Ruth to sleep.
I'm losing my mind.

65
00:02:16,570 --> 00:02:19,207
I feel like I'm in the third act
of a Darren Aronofsky film.

66
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,310
-Cheers, Daddy! -Yeah, tell me
about it. I'm wiped, too.

67
00:02:22,343 --> 00:02:24,678
I think I put on your underwear
this morning.

68
00:02:24,712 --> 00:02:26,547
If I'm being totally honest,
I wore your underpants once

69
00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:27,781
to a yoga class.

70
00:02:27,815 --> 00:02:29,517
Ruth, do you want
to go to sleep?

71
00:02:29,550 --> 00:02:33,287
-No way. -If you do, I'll write
you a check for $6,000.

72
00:02:33,321 --> 00:02:35,055
Checks! Checks! Yay, checks!

73
00:02:35,088 --> 00:02:36,824
-That didn't quite go as
planned. -Yay! -You know what,

74
00:02:36,857 --> 00:02:39,293
all I actually have to do
is get to this lunch with Jess.

75
00:02:39,327 --> 00:02:41,995
-Which is gonna be really fun.
-RUTH: Let's play patty-cake.

76
00:02:42,029 --> 00:02:44,298
Sorry to talk about a fun lunch
while you're at home.

77
00:02:44,332 --> 00:02:47,301
No, look, we have a kid now.

78
00:02:47,335 --> 00:02:48,969
One of us should be enjoying
our lives.

79
00:02:49,002 --> 00:02:51,171
(yawning): Yeah, you're right.
We should enjoy our lives.

80
00:02:51,205 --> 00:02:53,974
Go to your adult lunch.
Eat, drink,

81
00:02:54,007 --> 00:02:56,143
and come home and tell me
of the world out there.

82
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:58,312
Remember me to the people.

83
00:02:58,346 --> 00:02:59,680
Cece,

84
00:02:59,713 --> 00:03:01,615
-I-I love you.
-(snoring softly)

85
00:03:01,649 --> 00:03:03,484
C-Cece? Hello?

86
00:03:03,517 --> 00:03:06,620
-Play patty-cake.
-I'm trying.

87
00:03:06,654 --> 00:03:10,190
Nick... (chuckles)
I don't know where to begin.

88
00:03:10,224 --> 00:03:14,127
I know. Pepperwood's growing up.
He's becoming... transcendent.

89
00:03:14,161 --> 00:03:16,464
Unbearable. What is this fluff?

90
00:03:16,497 --> 00:03:18,366
You've got two chapters
of Pepperwood and Jessica Night

91
00:03:18,399 --> 00:03:20,000
in bed eating croissants.

92
00:03:20,033 --> 00:03:22,370
They chase a feather
down a cobblestone street?

93
00:03:22,403 --> 00:03:25,339
-He fell in love, Merle.
And then he was reborn. -(sighs)

94
00:03:25,373 --> 00:03:27,475
And it's sweet when you think
about it like that.

95
00:03:27,508 --> 00:03:30,844
Okay, I've seen this a million
times. Your life has changed,

96
00:03:30,878 --> 00:03:32,480
and now you've lost his voice.

97
00:03:32,513 --> 00:03:34,181
I can't publish this.

98
00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:36,149
What?

99
00:03:36,183 --> 00:03:37,985
-What are you saying?
Pepperwood's over? -Maybe it's

100
00:03:38,018 --> 00:03:40,854
run its course. Maybe it's time
to move on to something new.

101
00:03:40,888 --> 00:03:44,224
-You have other ideas, right?
-Oh, yeah, a ton of 'em.

102
00:03:44,258 --> 00:03:45,826
-Okay. All right.
-So many.

103
00:03:45,859 --> 00:03:48,662
-Great.
-In my computer drawer at home.

104
00:03:48,696 --> 00:03:49,897
Well, why don't you
come in tomorrow,

105
00:03:49,930 --> 00:03:51,231
pitch me your best three,

106
00:03:51,265 --> 00:03:52,500
and we'll see what we got.

107
00:03:52,533 --> 00:03:55,569
No. I want to pitch you
my best ten.

108
00:03:55,603 --> 00:03:56,570
(both laugh)

109
00:03:56,604 --> 00:03:57,705
I'm gonna pitch you three.

110
00:03:57,738 --> 00:03:59,407
Let's make it three.
That seems...

111
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,875
(gasps)
Hey, girl! Hey, girl!

112
00:04:01,909 --> 00:04:04,578
-I love that we are doing this.
-So good to see you!

113
00:04:04,612 --> 00:04:06,814
-Celebrating your new job.
-Two hardworking ladies.

114
00:04:06,847 --> 00:04:10,418
* Work hard, play hard,
work hard, play hard *

115
00:04:10,451 --> 00:04:12,353
-* Work hard, play h... *
-(yawns) Okay.

116
00:04:12,386 --> 00:04:13,754
Let's sit down. I'm beat.

117
00:04:13,787 --> 00:04:16,256
Ruth was up all night.

118
00:04:16,290 --> 00:04:18,191
Hey, excuse me, young man,
could we get two glasses

119
00:04:18,225 --> 00:04:19,893
-of Chardonnay?
-Chardonnay!

120
00:04:19,927 --> 00:04:22,195
-And a pot of coffee.
-We are doing this.

121
00:04:22,229 --> 00:04:24,698
We are doing it! (sighs)
So, Ruth is pretty tough,

122
00:04:24,732 --> 00:04:26,367
but even if she's not sleeping,

123
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,370
at least she's not still
potty training.

124
00:04:29,403 --> 00:04:31,204
-Ooh...!
-(gasps)

125
00:04:31,238 --> 00:04:33,006
-What, baby?
-It's happening.

126
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,909
Okay. Here we go. Here we go.

127
00:04:35,943 --> 00:04:38,045
-SCHMIDT: Occupied! -Why is
Daddy still in the bathroom?

128
00:04:38,078 --> 00:04:40,914
I don't know, honey.
This'll do. This is great.

129
00:04:40,948 --> 00:04:43,751
Okay, and...
(panting)

130
00:04:43,784 --> 00:04:47,054
(sighs)
That was a close one.

131
00:04:47,087 --> 00:04:50,023
Honestly, I'm just craving
some adult time.

132
00:04:50,057 --> 00:04:52,225
Oh. You're quick with it.
I like that.

133
00:04:52,259 --> 00:04:54,728
Yeah.
We're here to celebrate you.

134
00:04:54,762 --> 00:04:56,930
So, tell me about the job.

135
00:04:56,964 --> 00:04:59,600
You know, it's great. It's, um,
you know, a big office.

136
00:04:59,633 --> 00:05:02,235
Fueling fires.
Making a difference.

137
00:05:02,269 --> 00:05:05,272
-Make that money. I love that.
(chuckles) -Mm.

138
00:05:09,943 --> 00:05:11,278
Okay.

139
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:14,582
Mmm. Honestly, I'm
probably gonna quit after lunch.

140
00:05:14,615 --> 00:05:17,084
-What? -Cool if we call this
your treat?

141
00:05:20,454 --> 00:05:22,255
Right.
Heroin's in the diaper pail,

142
00:05:22,289 --> 00:05:23,924
baby wipes are in the cabinet.

143
00:05:23,957 --> 00:05:26,059
Oh, man, she's so lucky
to have three dads.

144
00:05:26,093 --> 00:05:28,429
(chuckles)
Hey, have you seen this?

145
00:05:28,462 --> 00:05:31,599
-Come on, man. -These
three goofballs just hid heroin

146
00:05:31,632 --> 00:05:33,934
in the baby's diaper disposal.

147
00:05:33,967 --> 00:05:36,837
-What a ride! -Winston,
why are you still here?

148
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:39,072
-Shh! Shh! -To have fun.
-Why are you here?

149
00:05:39,106 --> 00:05:41,442
(quietly):
Keep it down. Ruth is napping.

150
00:05:41,475 --> 00:05:42,910
In my bed?
You put that kid to sleep in...

151
00:05:42,943 --> 00:05:44,311
Yes, and I changed the sheets.

152
00:05:44,344 --> 00:05:47,681
It's very clear to me what side
of the bed you sleep on.

153
00:05:47,715 --> 00:05:49,983
-Busted.
-Ruth hasn't slept in 24 hours,

154
00:05:50,017 --> 00:05:52,285
so I drove her around in my car.
She told me she had to pee,

155
00:05:52,319 --> 00:05:53,320
so I brought her here.

156
00:05:53,353 --> 00:05:55,288
She nodded off on the toilet.

157
00:05:55,322 --> 00:05:56,524
It was very cute.

158
00:05:56,557 --> 00:05:58,759
Honestly, it reminded me of you.

159
00:05:58,792 --> 00:06:00,494
-That's great...
-I took 70 pictures.

160
00:06:00,528 --> 00:06:01,795
-But that's... -Hey, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

161
00:06:01,829 --> 00:06:03,497
-Are you guys seeing this?
-(groans softly)

162
00:06:03,531 --> 00:06:05,298
(chuckles)
I just thought of it just now.

163
00:06:05,332 --> 00:06:08,301
Three Men and a Little Lady.
One, two, three.

164
00:06:08,335 --> 00:06:09,970
We should do this movie
with Ruth.

165
00:06:10,003 --> 00:06:12,706
Winston, you cannot do a movie.

166
00:06:12,740 --> 00:06:15,643
What is that goon Guttenberg
painting on the walls?

167
00:06:15,676 --> 00:06:17,645
Words sound weird to me
when I'm this tired.

168
00:06:17,678 --> 00:06:20,481
That ever happen to you?
Like, Gu-Guttenberg.

169
00:06:20,514 --> 00:06:21,815
Gu...

170
00:06:21,849 --> 00:06:23,817
-Gu...
-Gu...

171
00:06:23,851 --> 00:06:25,986
-Enough, guys!
-Gu'enberg.

172
00:06:26,019 --> 00:06:28,489
Merle hated my last draft.
He said Pepperwood is over.

173
00:06:28,522 --> 00:06:29,657
-What?
-I'll kill him.

174
00:06:29,690 --> 00:06:31,525
He wants me to pitch new ideas
by tomorrow.

175
00:06:31,559 --> 00:06:33,160
You can't tell ideas
to a dead man.

176
00:06:33,193 --> 00:06:36,497
Winston, stop!
Nobody's killing anybody.

177
00:06:36,530 --> 00:06:38,566
-Okay. -But the truth is,
I do have something new.

178
00:06:38,599 --> 00:06:40,568
And I'd like to pitch it
to you guys.

179
00:06:40,601 --> 00:06:42,570
-He's tough.
-Okay.

180
00:06:42,603 --> 00:06:44,337
-He's controversial.
-Ooh-hoo-hoo.

181
00:06:44,371 --> 00:06:46,039
He's pro-choice.

182
00:06:46,073 --> 00:06:47,841
He's Senator Porcupine.

183
00:06:47,875 --> 00:06:49,376
Pass. Pa-Pass in the room.

184
00:06:49,409 --> 00:06:51,679
-Uh, question for the author.
-No, thank you.

185
00:06:51,712 --> 00:06:53,847
Senator Porcupine--
how does he put on a tie?

186
00:06:53,881 --> 00:06:54,848
Good question.

187
00:06:54,882 --> 00:06:56,183
Ow!

188
00:06:56,216 --> 00:06:57,518
-Oh, geez.
-Aah!

189
00:06:57,551 --> 00:06:59,553
-(groans)
-Aah! -Mm.

190
00:06:59,587 --> 00:07:01,221
I don't know.
With-with his mouth?

191
00:07:01,254 --> 00:07:03,090
-Mm. -That's what I'm saying--
I don't have the answer.

192
00:07:03,123 --> 00:07:05,358
I mean, Pepperwood was all that
I had. Now I've got nothing.

193
00:07:05,392 --> 00:07:07,027
I feel like I'm,
like, a wood-maker

194
00:07:07,060 --> 00:07:09,296
who can't make any, um...

195
00:07:09,329 --> 00:07:11,865
-Wood. -Wood. -Wood!
See, I don't have anything!

196
00:07:11,899 --> 00:07:13,701
I knew it! I got nothing!

197
00:07:13,734 --> 00:07:15,202
(door slams)

198
00:07:15,235 --> 00:07:16,870
RUTH:
I'm awake!

199
00:07:16,904 --> 00:07:18,772
Hey, I think Ruth is awake.

200
00:07:18,806 --> 00:07:21,542
You think, Winston?

201
00:07:21,575 --> 00:07:23,243
Wait, so, you're saying

202
00:07:23,276 --> 00:07:24,578
that you're doing
Russell's busywork?

203
00:07:24,612 --> 00:07:27,047
That you, Jessica Day,
former principal

204
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,417
of an entire school,
is doing his busywork?

205
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:33,721
Nah, girl. Nah, hold up.
One sec.

206
00:07:33,754 --> 00:07:35,723
How's that wine and coffee
combination treating you?

207
00:07:35,756 --> 00:07:37,057
My heart is beating really fast,

208
00:07:37,090 --> 00:07:39,059
but time is moving really slow,

209
00:07:39,092 --> 00:07:40,894
-so it all kind of evens out.
-Hmm.

210
00:07:40,928 --> 00:07:42,062
Wait, why are you quitting?

211
00:07:42,095 --> 00:07:43,396
He has a couple guys he trusts,

212
00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:44,898
and I just get left out
of all the major decisions.

213
00:07:44,932 --> 00:07:46,266
-Typical.
-Heads up,

214
00:07:46,299 --> 00:07:47,267
you're putting sugar
in your wine.

215
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:48,636
I made a boo-boo.

216
00:07:48,669 --> 00:07:49,937
Let's just...

217
00:07:51,038 --> 00:07:52,740
No, I made a yum-yum.

218
00:07:52,773 --> 00:07:54,908
-You know what
the craziest thing is? -Tell me.

219
00:07:54,942 --> 00:07:56,910
Every Tuesday,
he has these lunch meetings

220
00:07:56,944 --> 00:07:58,579
with a couple of guys
from the office,

221
00:07:58,612 --> 00:08:01,582
-and he's never once invited me.
-Babe.

222
00:08:01,615 --> 00:08:04,952
-Yes, babe. -Every woman
has a "Tuesday meeting"

223
00:08:04,985 --> 00:08:06,386
they haven't been invited to.

224
00:08:06,419 --> 00:08:08,088
How many times in your life

225
00:08:08,121 --> 00:08:09,923
have you been excluded

226
00:08:09,957 --> 00:08:11,859
from something important
or talked over

227
00:08:11,892 --> 00:08:14,828
or ignored because you're
the only woman in the room?

228
00:08:14,862 --> 00:08:16,063
It was different

229
00:08:16,096 --> 00:08:17,297
when I was running
my own company,

230
00:08:17,330 --> 00:08:19,299
but ever since we joined
with GKM,

231
00:08:19,332 --> 00:08:23,003
I've had to start dealing
with this male-pattern dumbness.

232
00:08:23,036 --> 00:08:25,105
(pumping)

233
00:08:25,138 --> 00:08:27,040
MAN:
Ugh.

234
00:08:27,074 --> 00:08:29,276
-What is that?
-It's a breast pump, Ken.

235
00:08:29,309 --> 00:08:30,678
I said I needed time to pump,
and you refused

236
00:08:30,711 --> 00:08:32,379
to change the meeting,
so here we are.

237
00:08:32,412 --> 00:08:33,847
Now, for the jeans campaign.

238
00:08:33,881 --> 00:08:35,482
Which one of these guys says,

239
00:08:35,515 --> 00:08:38,318
"I'm having fun in Toronto"?

240
00:08:38,351 --> 00:08:39,419
(pumping continues)

241
00:08:39,452 --> 00:08:40,821
So, for half an hour,

242
00:08:40,854 --> 00:08:42,623
they had to sit there

243
00:08:42,656 --> 00:08:46,026
and watch me get milked
like a freaking cow.

244
00:08:46,059 --> 00:08:47,294
Oh, yeah, your nipples
looked like pizza bagels

245
00:08:47,327 --> 00:08:49,296
-in that thing.
-Yeah, they do.

246
00:08:49,329 --> 00:08:51,198
You know what?
This is not the first time

247
00:08:51,231 --> 00:08:53,634
-I've been left out
of a Tuesday meeting. -Mm-hmm.

248
00:08:53,667 --> 00:08:55,402
Remember my first job
in administration?

249
00:08:55,435 --> 00:08:57,504
The budget's still too high.

250
00:08:57,537 --> 00:08:59,640
You know, I think it might be
the number of field trips

251
00:08:59,673 --> 00:09:00,974
we've been going on?

252
00:09:01,008 --> 00:09:02,342
What about the number
of field trips?

253
00:09:02,375 --> 00:09:03,476
Yes, exactly.

254
00:09:03,510 --> 00:09:05,579
-Great idea.
-I literally just said that.

255
00:09:05,613 --> 00:09:06,814
I think we're gonna need

256
00:09:06,847 --> 00:09:08,448
to take it out
of the transportation budget.

257
00:09:08,481 --> 00:09:10,183
Here's a crazy idea.

258
00:09:10,217 --> 00:09:13,320
What if we take it out
of the transportation budget?

259
00:09:13,353 --> 00:09:15,322
MEN (chanting):
Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben,

260
00:09:15,355 --> 00:09:17,324
Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben!

261
00:09:17,357 --> 00:09:18,859
I've been left out
of Tuesday meetings

262
00:09:18,892 --> 00:09:20,493
-as long as I can remember.
-Yes.

263
00:09:20,527 --> 00:09:22,062
Exactly. The system is broke,

264
00:09:22,095 --> 00:09:23,530
and I can't feel my face.

265
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:25,365
-Is that a good thing?
-I don't know.

266
00:09:25,398 --> 00:09:28,836
Oh, that belongs in the fire.

267
00:09:28,869 --> 00:09:31,438
-Whoa.
-Oh, hey, guys.

268
00:09:31,471 --> 00:09:33,540
What do you got here, buddy?
A little room fire?

269
00:09:33,573 --> 00:09:34,708
That seems safe.

270
00:09:34,742 --> 00:09:36,209
Oh, don't worry, I got this.

271
00:09:37,377 --> 00:09:38,846
(sniffs)

272
00:09:38,879 --> 00:09:40,413
Oh, I should've known
that was whiskey. Oh.

273
00:09:42,549 --> 00:09:43,516
(whoops)

274
00:09:43,550 --> 00:09:45,352
Guys, please let me hate myself

275
00:09:45,385 --> 00:09:47,554
and everything
that I have created.

276
00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:49,022
That's it. I have to call Merle.

277
00:09:49,056 --> 00:09:50,858
I'm gonna tell him
that I've got nothing.

278
00:09:50,891 --> 00:09:51,992
-My career's over.
-(sighs)

279
00:09:52,025 --> 00:09:53,026
Pepperwood was all that I had.

280
00:09:53,060 --> 00:09:54,227
I'm done.

281
00:09:54,261 --> 00:09:56,329
-I'm three.
-Everybody knows that, Ruth.

282
00:09:56,363 --> 00:09:57,931
Okay, look, Nick,
you're not gonna call Merle.

283
00:09:57,965 --> 00:10:00,701
(yawning): Okay, you're gonna
go in there tomorrow,

284
00:10:00,734 --> 00:10:02,002
and you're gonna do...

285
00:10:02,035 --> 00:10:03,737
Wake up, Daddy.

286
00:10:03,771 --> 00:10:05,706
You're gonna do an A-plus,

287
00:10:05,739 --> 00:10:07,507
perfect-style job.

288
00:10:07,540 --> 00:10:09,242
Nick, you have
a ton of ideas, okay?

289
00:10:09,276 --> 00:10:10,577
A lot of i...

290
00:10:11,611 --> 00:10:13,213
...idea notebooks.

291
00:10:13,246 --> 00:10:14,882
-I don't want to hear this.
-WINSTON: Here we go.

292
00:10:14,915 --> 00:10:16,784
Oh, never mind,
that's a maze you drew.

293
00:10:16,817 --> 00:10:19,386
Yeah, you drew a maze...
then couldn't solve it.

294
00:10:19,419 --> 00:10:21,221
You went straight for the wall.

295
00:10:21,254 --> 00:10:22,255
It was a hard maze.

296
00:10:22,289 --> 00:10:23,957
This one is just a list of words

297
00:10:23,991 --> 00:10:25,258
that rhyme with "moon."

298
00:10:25,292 --> 00:10:26,760
But then right away,

299
00:10:26,794 --> 00:10:29,763
it's "bun."
"Moon, spoon, loon, bun"?

300
00:10:29,797 --> 00:10:31,598
The heck is this?

301
00:10:31,631 --> 00:10:33,233
There was no other words
that rhymed with "moon."

302
00:10:33,266 --> 00:10:35,235
-"Tune"? -That's what
I'm saying. I don't have a...

303
00:10:35,268 --> 00:10:36,569
Pepperwood was all that I had.

304
00:10:36,603 --> 00:10:37,905
I've got nothing.

305
00:10:37,938 --> 00:10:39,940
You're Mr. Diarrhea Head.

306
00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:41,241
Please don't say that
to me right now.

307
00:10:41,274 --> 00:10:42,242
I'm going through a thing
right now,

308
00:10:42,275 --> 00:10:43,476
so please don't say that to me.

309
00:10:43,510 --> 00:10:44,577
I'm asking you,
please don't call me that.

310
00:10:44,611 --> 00:10:46,213
Okay, Mr. Diarrhea Head.

311
00:10:46,246 --> 00:10:48,615
No, you're the Diarrhea Head.

312
00:10:48,648 --> 00:10:51,251
Okay? Schmidt, what would you
like me to do here?

313
00:10:51,284 --> 00:10:52,419
What do you want from me?
What am I supposed to do?

314
00:10:52,452 --> 00:10:54,788
Uh, you used to love
fixing my life.

315
00:10:54,822 --> 00:10:57,224
Before... (grunts) came around.

316
00:10:57,257 --> 00:10:58,325
SCHMIDT:
It's different times.

317
00:10:58,358 --> 00:11:00,327
I got to wipe her butt.
I got to wipe my butt.

318
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,729
I can't wipe your butt, too.

319
00:11:01,762 --> 00:11:03,430
Can I get in on that?

320
00:11:03,463 --> 00:11:04,965
Never mind.

321
00:11:04,998 --> 00:11:06,433
That's it, I'm done.
I'm calling Merle,

322
00:11:06,466 --> 00:11:07,968
and I'm telling him
I don't have any ideas.

323
00:11:08,001 --> 00:11:10,103
Ruth, honey, will you please
watch Uncle Nick

324
00:11:10,137 --> 00:11:11,438
while Uncle Winston and I

325
00:11:11,471 --> 00:11:13,040
have a conversation?

326
00:11:13,073 --> 00:11:14,607
Fine. Follow me.

327
00:11:14,641 --> 00:11:16,810
I'll follow you
if I want to follow you.

328
00:11:16,844 --> 00:11:18,946
-Let's go.
-Okay. I'm coming.

329
00:11:18,979 --> 00:11:20,948
If anyone's the boss
between us, it's me.

330
00:11:20,981 --> 00:11:22,315
-RUTH: I'm the boss.
-(door closes)

331
00:11:22,349 --> 00:11:23,817
You know something,
I used to think

332
00:11:23,851 --> 00:11:25,318
that Nick was the Guttenberg,

333
00:11:25,352 --> 00:11:26,553
but it turns out

334
00:11:26,586 --> 00:11:28,321
he may be the little lady.

335
00:11:28,355 --> 00:11:29,823
Winston, I need you
to focus here.

336
00:11:29,857 --> 00:11:31,825
We have a spiraling man
on our hands.

337
00:11:31,859 --> 00:11:33,126
We just need to remind him

338
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,762
that he has good ideas.

339
00:11:34,795 --> 00:11:36,830
Do we have any other
idea notebooks?

340
00:11:36,864 --> 00:11:38,966
Because this is just nonsense.
I read it,

341
00:11:38,999 --> 00:11:40,667
and I don't want to be friends
with him anymore.

342
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:42,302
Maybe...

343
00:11:42,335 --> 00:11:44,004
it doesn't have to be
his writing.

344
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:45,806
-It could be from anything.
-Hmm.

345
00:11:45,839 --> 00:11:47,340
-Just find something.
-You know what, yes.

346
00:11:47,374 --> 00:11:48,842
Yes. Um...

347
00:11:48,876 --> 00:11:50,878
Okay.

348
00:11:50,911 --> 00:11:54,447
Here we go. "All reactionaries
are paper tigers.

349
00:11:54,481 --> 00:11:56,817
"In appearance the reactionaries
are terrifying,

350
00:11:56,850 --> 00:12:00,420
but, in reality,
they are not so powerful."

351
00:12:00,453 --> 00:12:01,922
-That really grabs you.
-Yeah.

352
00:12:01,955 --> 00:12:04,457
-What is that? -It's, uh...
Mao's Little Red Book.

353
00:12:04,491 --> 00:12:06,827
The Chinese communist manifesto?

354
00:12:06,860 --> 00:12:08,295
Yes.

355
00:12:08,328 --> 00:12:10,864
Read that again.

356
00:12:10,898 --> 00:12:13,867
(whispering): "All reactionaries
are paper tigers..."

357
00:12:13,901 --> 00:12:15,502
You know what I don't get?

358
00:12:15,535 --> 00:12:18,138
When did I start thinking
it was my fault? Is that good?

359
00:12:18,171 --> 00:12:20,373
-Mm-hmm. -Why am I the one
who has to quit?

360
00:12:20,407 --> 00:12:21,842
Yes! That's right.
You know what?

361
00:12:21,875 --> 00:12:23,176
Tell me what day it is.

362
00:12:23,210 --> 00:12:25,445
It's... Tuesday.

363
00:12:25,478 --> 00:12:26,546
Tell me where we're going.

364
00:12:26,579 --> 00:12:28,015
To the Tuesday meeting.

365
00:12:28,048 --> 00:12:29,049
The last Tuesday meeting

366
00:12:29,082 --> 00:12:30,350
I won't be invited to.

367
00:12:30,383 --> 00:12:31,718
-Mm-hmm.
-Add this to the agenda,

368
00:12:31,751 --> 00:12:32,986
you jagbags.

369
00:12:33,020 --> 00:12:34,454
That's right.
I am drunk right now

370
00:12:34,487 --> 00:12:35,889
and very awake!

371
00:12:35,923 --> 00:12:37,991
Daddy got me this dress.

372
00:12:38,025 --> 00:12:40,193
Well, you know, your dad used
to, uh, dress me, too, Ruth.

373
00:12:40,227 --> 00:12:42,162
-Why?
-Uh, because he cared.

374
00:12:42,195 --> 00:12:44,297
-Why? -I don't really know,
but he did.

375
00:12:44,331 --> 00:12:47,267
-Why? -Before you,
I was his baby girl.

376
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:48,368
WINSTON:
Nick.

377
00:12:48,401 --> 00:12:49,702
Look what we just found.

378
00:12:49,736 --> 00:12:51,704
A forgotten masterpiece.

379
00:12:51,738 --> 00:12:53,640
You've got to hear this.
You've still got it.

380
00:12:53,673 --> 00:12:55,708
"All reactionaries
are paper tigers.

381
00:12:55,742 --> 00:12:58,711
"In appearance the reactionaries
are terrifying,

382
00:12:58,745 --> 00:13:00,080
"but in reality,

383
00:13:00,113 --> 00:13:02,749
they are not so powerful."

384
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:04,651
And that?
That's just the beginning.

385
00:13:04,684 --> 00:13:06,219
I mean,
I don't remember writing it.

386
00:13:06,253 --> 00:13:07,888
It does sound
like something I would write.

387
00:13:07,921 --> 00:13:10,257
Just think about it.
You're always saying stuff like,

388
00:13:10,290 --> 00:13:13,160
"In reality,
they are not so powerful."

389
00:13:13,193 --> 00:13:15,395
-In terms of the reactionaries.
-Ha ha!

390
00:13:15,428 --> 00:13:17,364
-I wrote that? -Check that out,
man. That's you.

391
00:13:17,397 --> 00:13:19,066
-That's crazy.
-Let me take a peek at that.

392
00:13:19,099 --> 00:13:20,233
You just need to believe
in yourself, Nick.

393
00:13:20,267 --> 00:13:22,102
You've still got it.
It's powerful.

394
00:13:22,135 --> 00:13:23,837
It's v-very...
it's-it's powerful stuff.

395
00:13:23,871 --> 00:13:25,405
Well, I think it's pretty clear.

396
00:13:25,438 --> 00:13:26,940
I'm back, boys.

397
00:13:26,974 --> 00:13:28,608
-Whoa! Shut up!
-(Nick laughs)

398
00:13:28,641 --> 00:13:29,910
I'm an awesome writer.

399
00:13:29,943 --> 00:13:31,544
-Yeah, you are, man.
-You're v... you're v...

400
00:13:31,578 --> 00:13:33,480
-you're very... you're
very good. -You're the best.

401
00:13:35,916 --> 00:13:39,086
If I were a red shoe,
where would I hide?

402
00:13:39,119 --> 00:13:41,388
-I'm going over here. Ah.
-Oh, my God. (laughs)

403
00:13:41,421 --> 00:13:43,423
Uh, what about back here?
No. (screams)

404
00:13:43,456 --> 00:13:44,724
(laughs) You got to be crazy.

405
00:13:44,757 --> 00:13:46,860
(quietly):
Turn that down!

406
00:13:46,894 --> 00:13:49,129
Ruth is finally asleep.
Also, what are you doing here?

407
00:13:49,162 --> 00:13:50,430
Did my wife give you a key?

408
00:13:50,463 --> 00:13:52,265
Yeah. For emergencies.

409
00:13:52,299 --> 00:13:53,466
What is the emergency?

410
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:54,767
If they don't get
the little lady

411
00:13:54,801 --> 00:13:56,103
back from England...

412
00:13:56,136 --> 00:13:58,438
-man, they may never
see her again. -Oh, forget it.

413
00:13:58,471 --> 00:14:00,273
If you're gonna watch that,
turn on the closed captioning.

414
00:14:00,307 --> 00:14:02,442
If Ruth wakes up again,
I'm gonna plotz my pants.

415
00:14:02,475 --> 00:14:04,777
-Oh, Schmidt, are you here?
Winston! -Shh! Shh! Shh!

416
00:14:04,811 --> 00:14:05,845
Winston Bishop...

417
00:14:07,580 --> 00:14:09,116
I'll do it again.

418
00:14:09,149 --> 00:14:11,218
Shh!

419
00:14:11,251 --> 00:14:12,619
SCHMIDT (whispering):
Don't do this. Shh!

420
00:14:12,652 --> 00:14:14,787
Please. Why aren't you writing?

421
00:14:14,821 --> 00:14:17,124
I was writing, but I got
so inspired by the pages

422
00:14:17,157 --> 00:14:19,459
that you found that I drove
straight to Merle's office.

423
00:14:19,492 --> 00:14:21,328
"Revolutionary culture

424
00:14:21,361 --> 00:14:23,463
"is a powerful
revolutionary weapon

425
00:14:23,496 --> 00:14:25,632
for the broad masses
of the people."

426
00:14:25,665 --> 00:14:27,500
Hey, w-what do you
call this again?

427
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:29,502
-Johnny's Big Day at Work.
-Nice.

428
00:14:29,536 --> 00:14:31,404
I have another title for you.

429
00:14:31,438 --> 00:14:33,941
-Mao's Little Red Book?!
-Shh! Please, voices.

430
00:14:33,974 --> 00:14:35,976
-Mao's Little Red Book?!
-Voices. Voices!

431
00:14:36,009 --> 00:14:37,677
-You lied.
-Shh.

432
00:14:37,710 --> 00:14:39,012
You lied to me.

433
00:14:39,046 --> 00:14:40,080
Don't look at it as a lie.

434
00:14:40,113 --> 00:14:41,982
-All right.
-Look at it as not a lie,

435
00:14:42,015 --> 00:14:43,683
and then...
and then you're fine.

436
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:45,652
And now I'm not just a hack
with bad ideas,

437
00:14:45,685 --> 00:14:47,988
-but I'm a filthy commie!
-Shh. Please!

438
00:14:48,021 --> 00:14:49,222
And you know I'm no commie!

439
00:14:49,256 --> 00:14:50,423
I don't know
your personal beliefs.

440
00:14:50,457 --> 00:14:51,724
-You don't know
my personal beliefs? -Enough!

441
00:14:51,758 --> 00:14:52,825
Those are fightin' words.

442
00:14:52,859 --> 00:14:54,161
We didn't think
that you were gonna give

443
00:14:54,194 --> 00:14:55,195
those actual pages
to your editor.

444
00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:57,364
We were just trying
to inspire you.

445
00:14:57,397 --> 00:14:58,531
Also, why do you own that book?

446
00:14:58,565 --> 00:15:00,000
You see a red book,
you buy a red book.

447
00:15:00,033 --> 00:15:01,668
-What do you do with blue books?
-Don't buy.

448
00:15:01,701 --> 00:15:03,203
-Yellow books?
-Wait on it.

449
00:15:03,236 --> 00:15:04,671
-That's true.
-Hi, Daddy.

450
00:15:04,704 --> 00:15:06,974
No. Good God, child.

451
00:15:07,007 --> 00:15:09,176
Oh... my... God.

452
00:15:09,209 --> 00:15:11,211
I know what we need to do.

453
00:15:11,244 --> 00:15:15,448
* Goodnight, sweetheart,
well, my friends are liars *

454
00:15:15,482 --> 00:15:17,850
SCHMIDT:
* We were just trying *

455
00:15:17,884 --> 00:15:19,352
* To help you write... *

456
00:15:19,386 --> 00:15:21,021
Guys, you see what we're doing?

457
00:15:21,054 --> 00:15:22,855
We're doing
Three Men and a Baby.

458
00:15:22,889 --> 00:15:24,891
-Winston, you cannot do a movie.
-Can't do a movie.

459
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:27,060
Yes, you can. You can do any
movie except for a documentary,

460
00:15:27,094 --> 00:15:28,528
because those already happened.

461
00:15:28,561 --> 00:15:29,796
Harmony on three.

462
00:15:29,829 --> 00:15:31,164
One, two, three.

463
00:15:31,198 --> 00:15:34,801
* Goodnight... *

464
00:15:34,834 --> 00:15:36,203
I'm not tired.

465
00:15:37,570 --> 00:15:39,372
-Knock-knock, Russell.
-Who's there?

466
00:15:39,406 --> 00:15:40,873
-Two women.
-Two women who?

467
00:15:40,907 --> 00:15:43,476
-Two women coming in!
-Two women coming in who?

468
00:15:43,510 --> 00:15:46,413
We went over this, Cece--
that's not the line.

469
00:15:46,446 --> 00:15:48,915
That's exactly the kind of input
we've been talking about.

470
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:51,751
Russell? We need to talk.

471
00:15:51,784 --> 00:15:53,586
Oh, I'm scared of this energy.

472
00:15:53,620 --> 00:15:55,922
Ya best be.
Ya best be scared.

473
00:15:55,955 --> 00:15:57,024
Is she drunk?

474
00:15:57,057 --> 00:15:58,491
Yeah. On four glasses
of Chardonnay

475
00:15:58,525 --> 00:16:00,027
and two pots of coffee.

476
00:16:00,060 --> 00:16:01,728
And I'm drunk on rage!

477
00:16:01,761 --> 00:16:03,396
Knock-knock, boys.
Open your brain doors.

478
00:16:03,430 --> 00:16:05,565
-Sit down, Cece.
-Okay.

479
00:16:05,598 --> 00:16:07,900
Look, I've let this slide
too much in my life,

480
00:16:07,934 --> 00:16:09,436
but no more.

481
00:16:09,469 --> 00:16:12,839
You may not want me in this
meeting, but I belong here.

482
00:16:12,872 --> 00:16:15,108
-Yeah, I-I'm not sure you do.
-Too late, Russell.

483
00:16:15,142 --> 00:16:17,110
-I'm bustin' in.
-* Work hard *

484
00:16:17,144 --> 00:16:19,379
-* Play hard, work hard *
-Can't keep a good woman down.

485
00:16:19,412 --> 00:16:21,781
-* Play hard, work hard *
-Cece, sit. -Okay.

486
00:16:21,814 --> 00:16:23,516
You think
just 'cause I'm a woman,

487
00:16:23,550 --> 00:16:26,286
I can't bring anything
to the table? Well, try me.

488
00:16:26,319 --> 00:16:27,920
'Cause I'm pullin' up a chair,

489
00:16:27,954 --> 00:16:29,956
-and I'm gettin' in the game.
-CECE: Ooh.

490
00:16:31,724 --> 00:16:34,794
Okay. Guys, this is Jessica Day.

491
00:16:34,827 --> 00:16:37,530
Jessica, this is my
divorced father support group.

492
00:16:37,564 --> 00:16:40,167
We meet every Tuesday.

493
00:16:41,301 --> 00:16:44,271
Oh, that's why you're crying.

494
00:16:44,304 --> 00:16:46,473
It makes sense now.
(chuckles softly)

495
00:16:47,974 --> 00:16:49,276
Divorced fathers?

496
00:16:49,309 --> 00:16:52,812
Um, my dad...
my dad is a divorced father.

497
00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:55,948
Your kids
are gonna turn out fine.

498
00:16:55,982 --> 00:16:58,351
Sort of. There-there
might be some rough years.

499
00:16:59,486 --> 00:17:01,288
I like your choice of snacks.

500
00:17:01,321 --> 00:17:03,990
(loud crunching)

501
00:17:08,995 --> 00:17:10,430
JESS:
Ugh, Russell, I know

502
00:17:10,463 --> 00:17:12,799
you're probably mad at me
for many reasons.

503
00:17:12,832 --> 00:17:15,835
One you might not know about
is that my friend did indeed

504
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:18,305
get sick in
the receptionist's desk drawer.

505
00:17:18,338 --> 00:17:19,906
-I just wanted to say...
-No, I wanted

506
00:17:19,939 --> 00:17:22,309
to say that this morning
I was ready to quit.

507
00:17:22,342 --> 00:17:23,576
Wait, you're gonna quit?

508
00:17:23,610 --> 00:17:25,312
But I decided not to,
because I know

509
00:17:25,345 --> 00:17:27,480
I can really make a difference
for these schools

510
00:17:27,514 --> 00:17:29,316
if you will let me.

511
00:17:29,349 --> 00:17:31,017
I know I was wrong
about the meeting, but you

512
00:17:31,050 --> 00:17:34,154
have to admit, you haven't
given me any real work to do.

513
00:17:34,187 --> 00:17:35,288
-That's true.
-Why is that?

514
00:17:35,322 --> 00:17:37,190
Do you not think of me
as an equal?

515
00:17:37,224 --> 00:17:39,859
Because if that's the case,
that needs to change.

516
00:17:39,892 --> 00:17:41,661
No, that's not it at all.

517
00:17:41,694 --> 00:17:43,696
Jess, it's just that
you're new here,

518
00:17:43,730 --> 00:17:45,532
and I've got a lot
of trust issues.

519
00:17:45,565 --> 00:17:47,367
Probably from
my third wife, Jackie.

520
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,002
In fact, we were just discussing
it in the divorced dad...

521
00:17:50,036 --> 00:17:52,839
Wait, I thought your fourth wife
was named Jackie.

522
00:17:52,872 --> 00:17:54,674
I married two women
named Jackie.

523
00:17:54,707 --> 00:17:56,509
-Back-to-back?
-Yeah. They were related.

524
00:17:56,543 --> 00:18:00,079
It's complicated.
Look, I got to make this right.

525
00:18:00,113 --> 00:18:02,615
I hired you because I feel like
you're exactly the right person

526
00:18:02,649 --> 00:18:04,184
to get stuff done around here.

527
00:18:04,217 --> 00:18:08,755
So I guess it's time for me to
just let go and let you do that.

528
00:18:08,788 --> 00:18:10,423
You won't regret it.

529
00:18:10,457 --> 00:18:12,159
-All right.
-Also, while we're here talking,

530
00:18:12,192 --> 00:18:14,694
we need some tampons
in the bathroom.

531
00:18:15,728 --> 00:18:17,530
Are you asleep?

532
00:18:17,564 --> 00:18:19,366
No.

533
00:18:19,399 --> 00:18:21,301
Well... I give up.

534
00:18:21,334 --> 00:18:23,536
This is my reality.

535
00:18:23,570 --> 00:18:25,805
I'll never sleep again.

536
00:18:25,838 --> 00:18:28,007
Tell me a story, Uncle Nick.

537
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,843
Me? No, no, no.
I don't have any stories, Ruth.

538
00:18:30,877 --> 00:18:34,681
* Come on, Nick,
you can do it. *

539
00:18:34,714 --> 00:18:35,682
Please?

540
00:18:35,715 --> 00:18:37,184
Nick, she asked for a story.

541
00:18:37,217 --> 00:18:39,786
-Why don't you tell her a story?
-I thought you wanted

542
00:18:39,819 --> 00:18:42,522
-to sleep, Schmidt. -I don't
know how to do that anymore.

543
00:18:42,555 --> 00:18:43,890
I've pushed through.

544
00:18:43,923 --> 00:18:46,058
-My body doesn't know
how to sleep. -All right, fine,

545
00:18:46,092 --> 00:18:48,295
Ruth, you want a story?
Here's a story.

546
00:18:48,328 --> 00:18:50,463
There was once a magical bear,

547
00:18:50,497 --> 00:18:51,631
and he, uh...

548
00:18:51,664 --> 00:18:53,300
I don't know,

549
00:18:53,333 --> 00:18:57,204
walked on a magical tightrope
to Seattle.

550
00:18:57,237 --> 00:18:59,806
Have you ever seen
a magical bear?

551
00:18:59,839 --> 00:19:02,642
-No. -Is there
a tightrope to Seattle?

552
00:19:02,675 --> 00:19:04,377
Not that I know of, Ruth.

553
00:19:04,411 --> 00:19:06,413
-Ugh, this is garbage.
-Well, what do you want from me?

554
00:19:06,446 --> 00:19:08,147
It's late at night,
you asked for a story--

555
00:19:08,181 --> 00:19:09,482
that's the best that came out.

556
00:19:09,516 --> 00:19:12,919
Weren't you ever little
like me, Uncle Nick?

557
00:19:12,952 --> 00:19:15,154
Of course I was little like you.
Don't you know anything?

558
00:19:15,188 --> 00:19:16,589
I was born
on a cold, lonely street

559
00:19:16,623 --> 00:19:18,157
on the South Side of Chicago.

560
00:19:18,191 --> 00:19:21,060
As rumor has it, and there's
no proof of this, obviously,

561
00:19:21,093 --> 00:19:22,662
but I delivered myself.

562
00:19:22,695 --> 00:19:25,932
It was my fifth birthday party,
there was a knock at the door.

563
00:19:25,965 --> 00:19:29,702
My father jumped up, gave us all
a thumbs-up, gave me a wink,

564
00:19:29,736 --> 00:19:31,738
then he jumped out the window,

565
00:19:31,771 --> 00:19:33,873
-bounced up, took off running.
-Oh, wow...

566
00:19:33,906 --> 00:19:35,275
I didn't see him for six months.

567
00:19:35,308 --> 00:19:36,909
My only babysitter at the time

568
00:19:36,943 --> 00:19:39,779
was a rollercoaster
at a local amusement park.

569
00:19:39,812 --> 00:19:43,216
That and a pack of cigarettes.
(chuckles wryly)

570
00:19:43,250 --> 00:19:45,184
Being nine in Chicago
is different.

571
00:19:45,218 --> 00:19:47,053
The tree fell,
hit the power line,

572
00:19:47,086 --> 00:19:49,389
and the power line fell
right on the hobo,

573
00:19:49,422 --> 00:19:51,591
shocking the hobo back to life.

574
00:19:51,624 --> 00:19:53,860
-That was an amazing moment.
-(whispers): Hey.

575
00:19:53,893 --> 00:19:56,195
I don't know, it made me
question the existence of God.

576
00:19:56,229 --> 00:20:00,099
I believed entirely in fate,
and it was that same fate

577
00:20:00,132 --> 00:20:02,469
that brought me
to the woman I love today.

578
00:20:02,502 --> 00:20:05,438
Uh, Nick, go back.
Uh, what happened to the hobo?

579
00:20:05,472 --> 00:20:07,274
He stood up, he spun around,

580
00:20:07,307 --> 00:20:10,209
he said, "Time to get a job,"
and he walked away.

581
00:20:10,243 --> 00:20:12,044
Why don't you
write it down, Nick?

582
00:20:12,078 --> 00:20:14,814
-About the hobo?
-WINSTON: Yeah. -Yeah, why not?

583
00:20:14,847 --> 00:20:16,883
Oh, this is good.
This is really good.

584
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:20,453
We did it, Schmidt.
(chuckles)

585
00:20:20,487 --> 00:20:23,222
(snoring)

586
00:20:23,256 --> 00:20:25,758
Schmidt?

587
00:20:25,792 --> 00:20:28,628
(continues snoring)

588
00:20:28,661 --> 00:20:30,763
(whispers):
Oh, my God.

589
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,234
Time to go to bed, my friend.

590
00:20:35,268 --> 00:20:37,103
Yeah, I think the coffee's
wearing off.

591
00:20:37,136 --> 00:20:40,006
-I have to thank you so much
for today. -(yawning)

592
00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:43,810
-Uh-huh. -Even though now
I have so much work to do.

593
00:20:43,843 --> 00:20:45,778
Yeah, you're gonna kill it.
It's gonna be great.

594
00:20:45,812 --> 00:20:46,979
I love you.

595
00:20:47,013 --> 00:20:48,315
I do love you.

596
00:20:48,348 --> 00:20:50,249
-Thanks, girl.
-Hey, can I tell you a secret?

597
00:20:50,283 --> 00:20:52,251
-Yeah. -I'm not gonna
brush my teeth tonight.

598
00:20:52,285 --> 00:20:53,753
JESS:
Ooh, interesting choice.

599
00:20:53,786 --> 00:20:55,988
-Thank you.
-WINSTON: Come on.

600
00:20:56,022 --> 00:20:57,256
You don't want any of this.

601
00:20:57,290 --> 00:20:58,691
Unhand me!
I'm not even tired.

602
00:20:58,725 --> 00:20:59,959
-Go to sleep, buddy.
-Yeah, dude,

603
00:20:59,992 --> 00:21:01,628
you haven't blinked
in three hours. Come on.

604
00:21:01,661 --> 00:21:02,662
(Schmidt yawns)

605
00:21:02,695 --> 00:21:04,364
Cece...

606
00:21:04,397 --> 00:21:07,334
I love you, but...
your breath is trash.

607
00:21:07,367 --> 00:21:09,502
It's like a...
it's like a garbage Dumpster.

608
00:21:09,536 --> 00:21:11,838
-Thanks for saying that.
We were all thinking it. -Yeah.

609
00:21:11,871 --> 00:21:13,806
Shh, shh, shh.
Time for sleep.

610
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,475
You get one story.

611
00:21:15,508 --> 00:21:17,344
Take it away, Nick.

612
00:21:17,377 --> 00:21:20,913
I call this one
Timothy and the Chi-Town Hobo.

613
00:21:20,947 --> 00:21:22,515
* Good night,
Schmidt and Cece *

614
00:21:22,549 --> 00:21:24,684

623
00:21:40,833 --> 00:21:41,968
Good night!
