en
00:00:35 My favorite children's book
00:00:38 who came to Earth
00:00:42 He meets a pilot
00:00:46 The little prince teaches the pilot many things...
00:00:49 but mainly about love.
00:00:51 My father always told me
00:00:54 But after I met Adam...
00:00:56 I realized I was the pilot all along.
00:03:47 - Morning, Adam.
00:03:52 - Good morning, Lulu.
00:03:58 I don't know what to say.
00:04:00 - Say anything.
00:04:02 Adam Raki is the cutest guy in the office.
00:04:05 - That's fine.
00:04:07 - Good morning, Mr. Klieber!
00:04:10 - Good morning.
00:04:13 - How did she do that?
00:04:15 How did she know it was me
00:04:17 Voice recognition.
00:04:19 I put in voice patterns from some people
00:04:24 SPLICE stands for "Stereo-based Piece-wise
00:04:29 - It's an algorithm that I placed...
00:04:31 Did Chatty Patty have SPLICE?
00:04:33 Did Big Mouth Billy Bass have SPLICE?
00:04:36 But you said I could make her sound like Kelli.
00:04:38 I said she could sound like Kelli.
00:04:42 She doesn't have free will.
00:04:45 5,000 at a hundred dollars,
00:04:52 - Good-bye, Mr. Klieber.
00:05:43 All of which gives us the rare opportunity...
00:05:46 to explore the mysterious terrain...
00:05:48 that lies between fame and craft...
00:05:51 between the public persona
00:05:55 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:05:59 an actress we admire...
00:06:01 Julia Roberts.
00:06:13 Perfect.
00:06:18 - Oh.
00:06:22 I mean, to residents. Do you have a key?
00:06:25 Yes.
00:06:27 I just moved in. Beth Buchwald, 3A.
00:06:31 Adam. Second floor. Two.
00:06:35 You're not doing your laundry?
00:06:38 Oh. Yeah.
00:06:41 Looks like a bit of an emergency.
00:06:46 Would you mind letting me in?
00:06:50 - Yeah. Yeah. Sure.
00:06:56 I mean, I loved it. Downtown's my hood.
00:07:00 But this place is bigger
00:07:04 Can you see the sky from the third floor?
00:07:07 I guess I would if the windows
00:07:11 Some nerve, right...
00:07:13 calling a school in the middle of Manhattan
00:07:16 It's just temporary, actually.
00:07:19 The job, not the name of the school.
00:07:23 I'm a writer. For children.
00:07:29 What do you do?
00:07:30 I help make toys.
00:07:32 Oh, you're an elf?
00:07:35 No, I'm an electronic engineer.
00:07:37 Oh. You need a card for the wash.
00:07:41 No, I've got one.
00:07:44 Funny. I think I left mine upstairs in my packet.
00:07:48 Could I borrow yours for now?
00:07:50 Okay.
00:07:55 Oh. Right.
00:08:02 Thanks.
00:08:06 Good. Good work, Beth.
00:08:15 Hi, neighbor.
00:08:17 There are new images of Saturn
00:08:31 Oh.
00:08:32 God.
00:08:35 I always wish I knew more about space.
00:08:38 You did? Like what?
00:08:41 I don't know. You know, what's out there.
00:08:46 You have to narrow that down.
00:08:48 Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:08:50 Well, I have books, telescopes, star charts.
00:08:52 You could borrow some stuff.
00:08:54 We could go out,
00:08:58 Maybe sometime. Sure.
00:09:02 Okay.
00:09:05 Well, I'll just be hauling these enormous
00:09:09 Okay.
00:09:11 Okay.
00:09:45 What are you doing?
00:09:47 Oh.
00:09:49 People watching.
00:09:52 Anyone in particular?
00:09:56 Just people.
00:10:04 Listen, I'm going out with some friends
00:10:08 Oh.
00:10:10 They're people,
00:10:14 Uh-huh.
00:10:16 But if not, you know, that's fine.
00:10:18 No, I want to go,
00:10:22 - Okay, if you're busy.
00:10:25 I mean, it's not a date. It's just a little
00:10:30 When?
00:10:32 8:00. 8:00-ish.
00:10:34 Uh-huh.
00:10:36 Look, there's no pressure.
00:10:38 I'll just knock on your door
00:10:43 - Okay.
00:10:45 - Yeah.
00:11:39 Adam?
00:11:45 Adam.
00:12:19 - See you later!
00:12:28 I'm sorry I didn't come out with your friends.
00:12:31 No problem.
00:12:34 I get kind of overloaded.
00:12:39 I have something to show you.
00:12:44 Come in. Come in.
00:12:51 Oh, my!
00:12:57 You said you want to know more about space.
00:13:01 Because it looks like this
00:13:04 even though we know its expanding.
00:13:06 All parts of the universe
00:13:09 most of them faster than the speed of light,
00:13:12 I thought nothing went faster
00:13:15 Right, right. Nothing goes
00:13:19 Do you know about the Big Bang?
00:13:22 A little. In the beginning, God crea...
00:13:26 The inflation theory says the Big Bang came
00:13:29 about 14 billion years ago...
00:13:31 that expanded to the size of the universe
00:13:35 Ten to the minus-39?
00:13:37 A decimal point, 39 zeros, and then a one.
00:13:39 That's the fraction of a second
00:13:42 That's billions and billions of times
00:13:45 Ooh, that's... fast.
00:13:50 Yeah.
00:13:57 Wow!
00:13:59 These are all pictures of stars and galaxies
00:14:03 for hundreds of millions or billions of years.
00:14:06 But that's still nearby compared to
00:14:11 Never?
00:14:13 Well, things that move apart faster than light
00:14:17 because the light from one
00:14:19 After the Big Bang...
00:14:21 the expansion of the universe slowed down.
00:14:24 But then, after seven billion years...
00:14:26 for some reason it speeded up again...
00:14:28 and it's been speeding up ever since.
00:14:31 Someday everything you see here
00:14:36 And eventually the night sky...
00:14:38 will be almost completely dark.
00:14:46 That's kinda sad.
00:14:50 Sad?
00:14:52 Hmm.
00:14:57 I have been talking too much, so...
00:15:01 No, it's... fascinating.
00:15:03 - But I talk too much when I get excited.
00:15:07 It's... It's amazing.
00:15:09 Well, I could tell you quickly
00:15:12 Oh, no, it's okay. Maybe next time.
00:15:14 Okay. It's very speculative.
00:15:17 Well, I should go.
00:15:22 Good night, Beth.
00:15:25 Good night.
00:15:30 Thanks. I love your planetarium.
00:15:33 Oh. You're welcome.
00:15:46 Oh, I could have waited, Daddy.
00:15:48 Not another day.
00:15:51 - They were mice.
00:15:54 It's okay. It's not like the Village.
00:15:58 - It's new. - He did have a
00:16:01 You were in someone's living room.
00:16:03 He's cute. He lives in the building.
00:16:05 Whatever happened to Rich Lippmann?
00:16:07 Not going there.
00:16:08 But what was the name of his company?
00:16:13 Okay. Okay.
00:16:14 So, your neighbor's an astronomer?
00:16:17 No, he's an electronic engineer,
00:16:20 - But he hasn't even said hello to me since
00:16:23 No, it's me.
00:16:25 Didn't anyone tell you and Mom
00:16:29 spoilt, too trusting and unequipped to cope?
00:16:33 What were you thinking?
00:16:35 That we had one perfect child.
00:16:40 How's school?
00:16:42 We just started.
00:16:44 "The course of civilization is a race
00:16:47 - John F. Kennedy.
00:16:50 Well, if you marry an investment banker...
00:16:52 you could do whatever you want.
00:16:54 Rich Lippmann is a dick, Daddy.
00:16:57 Don't say "dick" to your father.
00:16:59 No one's perfect, Bethy. That's all I'm saying.
00:17:04 But their sensor systems have detected
00:17:08 Adam, I'm having lunch.
00:17:11 - Speak English.
00:17:13 You see, the Star Tracker system is...
00:17:15 No. No more background radiation
00:17:20 Lunchtime is for guy talk.
00:17:23 Two guys talking about women,
00:17:30 - But the Star Tracker system...
00:17:38 Hmm.
00:17:40 A woman moved into 3A.
00:17:42 All right. Now, that's lunch talk.
00:17:45 So?
00:17:47 So, that's all.
00:17:49 Come on. A woman moved into 3A.
00:17:53 She looked...
00:17:55 She looked nice.
00:17:57 Good. Good!
00:18:01 - You gonna meet her?
00:18:03 You did?
00:18:04 We did laundry. She came to my apartment.
00:18:08 - She did?
00:18:11 - Oh, Jesus. How'd she take it?
00:18:14 She...
00:18:15 Well, bless my stars. You gonna see her again?
00:18:18 I see her almost every day.
00:18:20 You talk to her again?
00:18:22 No.
00:18:25 Adam.
00:18:27 You're the man.
00:18:29 You have to start the conversation.
00:18:32 I can't do that. H-How...
00:18:36 Hmm.
00:18:38 This jackass locked himself out of his car.
00:18:41 Figures he can cuss me out on the phone.
00:18:43 Well, he ought to be chilled by now.
00:18:47 Harlan...
00:18:51 Follow through, young man.
00:18:53 Follow through.
00:18:57 Are you and Mom still going
00:19:00 - Well, we're still deciding.
00:19:03 There's a little problem
00:19:07 - Between you and Mom?
00:19:09 - At the firm.
00:19:12 There was an indictment last March.
00:19:15 There was an indictment of the firm?
00:19:17 No, of me, personally, no less.
00:19:21 It's nothing.
00:19:24 But there's a trial date now. January 19.
00:19:27 - A trial? - Yeah, so we have to
00:19:30 But bullshit, if you'll excuse the expression...
00:19:33 expands to fill the allotted time...
00:19:35 so now Barbados is up in the air.
00:19:39 Daddy!
00:19:41 Don't worry.
00:19:42 But if you happen to come up
00:19:45 we may need it to pay the ganef lawyers.
00:19:47 - Over Friday for dinner, right?
00:19:51 - I love you, Daddy.
00:20:27 Beth?
00:20:36 Beth?
00:20:39 Adam!
00:20:42 I'm so sorry.
00:20:46 Oh, that's okay.
00:20:48 Come out with me.
00:20:55 Beth?
00:21:00 - Adam, the park's closed.
00:21:03 - I wanna go back! I'm not...
00:21:15 - Adam, I...
00:21:46 Raccoon in Central Park?
00:22:05 That was so cool.
00:22:08 What are they doing here?
00:22:11 Foraging.
00:22:14 - How did you know where they'd be?
00:22:18 I used to come and watch them a lot.
00:22:21 It's quiet.
00:22:26 They don't really belong here,
00:22:32 They're coming back around in a little while.
00:22:37 Yeah, sure.
00:23:11 Oh. Mr. Klieber.
00:23:13 Yes. That's all right. I startled you.
00:23:16 Yes.
00:23:18 I just wanted to tell you what a good job
00:23:22 Well, that's good.
00:23:25 When your father explained your...
00:23:27 When he explained your... things...
00:23:31 well, I had my... my doubts,
00:23:34 A man of your background at the salary you're
00:23:38 - Well, that's good.
00:23:40 But the world is changing.
00:23:44 - You've got to compete.
00:23:47 5,000 at a hundred, not five at a thousand.
00:23:50 Adam, I've got to let you go.
00:23:53 But I will write you a recommendation
00:23:57 - L-Let me go?
00:24:00 Yeah, but I... I don't wanna go.
00:24:02 I have a bid, Adam. It's done.
00:24:06 - You found a better chip?
00:24:09 Cheaper.
00:24:10 Look, go home.
00:24:13 Talk it over with your dad.
00:24:15 - I'm sure he'll find you another job.
00:24:17 Kelli has your severance.
00:24:20 And I mean that sincerely. Good-bye, Adam.
00:24:27 Good-bye, Mr. Klieber.
00:24:35 Adam, dude. Sorry about that, man.
00:24:37 Don't think about it, bro.
00:24:46 I'm so sorry, Adam.
00:24:48 See you around, okay?
00:26:07 Excuse me, sir. What are you doing there?
00:26:10 - I said, what you doin'?
00:26:13 Uh-huh. Let me have some I.D., sir.
00:26:16 I-I was looking at the children.
00:26:18 Sir, turn around.
00:26:22 - Why... Why are you doing this?
00:26:25 Turn around!
00:26:27 Hands on the fence.
00:26:30 What... What are you doing?
00:26:32 I'm taking your wallet out of your back pocket
00:26:35 - 15-Adam to Central-K, I need a name check.
00:26:38 - Is this the man you reported?
00:26:42 Where do you live, sir?
00:26:44 Please stay where you are.
00:26:47 Do you live or do you have business
00:26:50 Everything's fine. Go on back inside.
00:26:52 Beth!
00:26:55 - Are you the one who reported this?
00:26:58 - What's going on?
00:27:01 Yeah, he's my neighbor. What happened?
00:27:03 - I...
00:27:06 - He's clean.
00:27:10 Can't be too careful with kids, right?
00:27:12 You can go.
00:27:19 Adam!
00:27:42 Adam?
00:27:47 Enough with the presents, okay?
00:27:50 Well, that was kind of awful, wasn't it?
00:27:53 I mean, God, you just stopped by
00:28:05 - Police freak me out too. Okay?
00:28:10 Okay.
00:28:21 So, you live alone?
00:28:23 Yes.
00:28:25 I mean, it's... it's big for one person.
00:28:29 For the city.
00:28:31 Well, my father lived here too.
00:28:33 Oh! Where is he now?
00:28:35 - Queens.
00:28:37 He died six weeks ago.
00:28:39 Oh, God. I'm so sorry.
00:28:42 My friend Harlan says Queens
00:28:46 because they can't tell the difference.
00:28:49 That's... That's awful.
00:28:53 Harlan said it was a joke.
00:28:56 Oh, I meant about your father.
00:28:58 Uh...
00:29:02 - What about your mother?
00:29:09 I'm so sorry.
00:29:14 I had a really nice time last night in the park.
00:29:20 Were you excited?
00:29:23 - What?
00:29:27 No, not exactly.
00:29:32 Well, I ask because I was,
00:29:39 Thank you so much for the glass of water.
00:29:42 I... I should... I should be going now.
00:29:45 Because I said that thing
00:29:48 No! No, no. I just...
00:29:50 Well... yeah.
00:29:52 Oh...
00:29:54 Sometimes it's hard for me to...
00:29:59 I have this thing
00:30:03 It's called Asperger's syndrome.
00:30:06 Oh.
00:30:14 One thing about it is not knowing
00:30:19 - Like right now.
00:30:21 I guess I was wondering
00:30:27 It doesn't feel like anything. It just is.
00:30:31 Okay.
00:30:34 My brain works differently from N.T.'s.
00:30:36 N.T.'s?
00:30:39 Neurotypicals.
00:30:41 Sometimes I can't understand them...
00:30:43 especially when they mean something different
00:30:46 You don't do that?
00:30:48 No, most Aspies are really honest.
00:30:50 Psychologists think
00:30:53 But psychologists are mostly N.T.'s.
00:30:56 Albert Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, Mozart,
00:31:00 They had Asperger's?
00:31:02 Probably.
00:31:07 When I was younger...
00:31:09 I would have just thought
00:31:12 That's called mind blindness.
00:31:15 I had to learn to ask
00:31:20 I understand.
00:31:23 It's okay.
00:31:26 Oh.
00:31:28 I re... I really should go.
00:31:32 Okay.
00:31:37 I'm really sorry about your father.
00:31:39 Oh.
00:31:42 Can I see you again?
00:31:45 Um, well, I'm... I'm right upstairs, so...
00:31:49 Great. Okay. I'll see you.
00:31:57 Hi.
00:32:06 - Do you have a minute?
00:32:09 Thank you.
00:32:11 Oh, you think it's a bad sign
00:32:15 bores its director?
00:32:17 Um...
00:32:20 What do you know about Asperger's syndrome?
00:32:23 Oh.
00:32:25 Well, it's a developmental disorder,
00:32:29 What does that mean exactly?
00:32:31 Well, there's a broad range.
00:32:34 - It could be severe social interaction problems.
00:32:39 Maybe I should get in on this,
00:32:42 Oh, no, no. It's my neighbor.
00:32:44 He has it.
00:32:46 But he's really, really sweet...
00:32:49 and kind of interesting.
00:32:53 Yeah, sometimes they can be quite brilliant.
00:32:56 It is on the autism spectrum.
00:33:00 Oh, you know, actually I think I have a...
00:33:04 This is a first-person account.
00:33:07 Oh, no, it's... it's not... it's not serious...
00:33:11 - Hmm. Okay.
00:33:12 Sure.
00:33:14 Oh, Beth? Would you
00:33:18 Sure.
00:33:20 So, you're saying, really,
00:33:24 - Right?
00:33:27 Not really.
00:33:29 - Well, well, it...
00:33:35 Thanks.
00:33:37 So, um, subtracting your father's liabilities...
00:33:41 uh, credit card debt,
00:33:45 from his assets reduces the, uh... the estate...
00:33:50 roughly, $25,000.
00:33:52 And he bequeathed $5,000...
00:33:56 to the Kids at Risk Music Fund...
00:33:59 $ 10,000 to you, Mr. Keats.
00:34:01 Oh.
00:34:03 So, as his primary beneficiary, Adam... Adam?
00:34:07 You inherit the remainder.
00:34:09 That would be the death benefit from Juilliard...
00:34:12 and the funds from the T.I.A.A. retirement plan.
00:34:15 Also, there's approximately
00:34:20 - So, assuming you sell, after closing fees
00:34:25 We presumed that you'd be moving
00:34:29 Move?
00:34:31 Without your father's income,
00:34:34 I don't wanna move.
00:34:36 Easy.
00:34:38 Think of it as an opportunity.
00:34:42 Mr. Wardlow...
00:34:44 Adam has never been out of the city
00:34:48 Well closer to home then.
00:34:50 - With the income from your job...
00:34:55 Oh. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. That makes
00:35:00 - Changes like this are hard.
00:35:03 - Mr. Raki, I...
00:35:06 - I'm not gonna sell my house.
00:35:09 Cross your arms over your chest.
00:35:16 Mr. Wardlow, are we done?
00:35:19 There are papers to be signed.
00:35:22 - Can you send them?
00:35:26 Yes. Yes. Yes. We, uh... We can do that.
00:35:29 Come on, Adam, let's go.
00:35:33 I can't...
00:35:36 I ca... I can't move.
00:35:38 All right.
00:35:40 Come on.
00:35:46 You're not 10 years old anymore.
00:35:50 - I got fired.
00:35:53 You know how many times I've been fired?
00:35:56 When your dad and I came
00:35:58 I might as well have had a three-day week.
00:36:01 Day one, I hate the freakin' job.
00:36:04 Day two, I hate the freakin' boss.
00:36:06 Day three, I hit someone
00:36:09 I didn't hit anyone. I never hit anyone.
00:36:14 Adam, you're 29 years old.
00:36:18 You can't pay your mortgage
00:36:21 So what are you gonna do?
00:37:02 Hey, Bethy-boo.
00:37:05 You home okay? Call us.
00:37:08 Beth. Are you there?
00:37:11 Look, maybe the whole point was for me
00:37:14 You're not really gonna throw this awa...
00:37:32 A-Adam? Wha...
00:37:34 What?
00:37:37 Get in here!
00:37:53 Wh-What? What in the world
00:37:57 You could have been killed.
00:37:59 - How were you gonna get down?
00:38:02 - Climb?
00:38:06 You said you couldn't see out of your windows.
00:38:15 I'm sorry!
00:38:20 Why did you scream like that?
00:38:23 Because I walked into my apartment
00:38:27 - It was me!
00:38:45 Oh.
00:38:48 I guess not.
00:38:51 Thank you for trying to...
00:38:53 You're welcome.
00:38:56 Would you, um...
00:38:58 Would you like some tea?
00:39:01 Uh...
00:39:03 - Sure.
00:39:11 Harlan said I should send out application letters
00:39:16 Interviews?
00:39:18 Interviews usually don't go very well.
00:39:22 But you put in some applications?
00:39:24 Eighty-seven.
00:39:26 - Eighty-seven?
00:39:28 Applications and letters of inquiry.
00:39:31 - You applied for 87 jobs?
00:39:34 - Today?
00:39:38 - Wow.
00:39:42 I mean, that's a lot.
00:39:44 Well, I don't wanna move.
00:39:48 Yeah.
00:39:53 This is very good-smelling tea.
00:39:56 English breakfast. My father calls it
00:40:20 Maybe I should go.
00:40:22 I'm sorry. I'm just...
00:40:25 S-Sorry? You're s...
00:40:27 - I'm a little upset.
00:40:30 My father's an accountant...
00:40:33 and he's been accused
00:40:36 Oh. Did he do it?
00:40:38 No. No.
00:40:40 But tonight he said it looks like
00:40:45 and I know that your father just passed away,
00:41:00 Um, I...
00:41:04 I can see that you're upset...
00:41:07 but I don't know what to do.
00:41:19 Could you give me a hug?
00:41:23 Yes.
00:41:26 Adam, I'd like you to give me a hug.
00:41:42 "'But he's naked, 'cried a little boy.
00:41:45 "All the people whispered among each other.
00:41:48 "There's a little boy
00:41:51 "The king shivered, for he was sure
00:41:55 "'I must bear it until the procession is over.'
00:41:58 And he walked even more proudly
00:42:05 So, what do we think?
00:42:09 He was naked.
00:42:13 He ran around the whole town naked.
00:42:15 Yes, okay, he was naked. Anything else?
00:42:19 The little boy was bad.
00:42:21 Really? Why do you say that, Stephanie?
00:42:23 - Because he told.
00:42:25 - Bruce.
00:42:28 Don't you think the king
00:42:33 Well, he didn't have to yell it out.
00:42:35 He could have just gone over to him
00:42:38 Everybody else was just lying
00:42:42 and because they were afraid
00:42:48 - Weenie!
00:42:50 I like the boy.
00:42:55 I do too.
00:43:16 Maybe we should go.
00:43:18 Our table's next.
00:43:22 You can't eat macaroni and cheese every night.
00:43:26 - Why not?
00:43:33 Thanks for coming. I-I know it's hard.
00:43:38 Okay.
00:43:53 This is better, right?
00:43:57 Hello. I'm Rom with an "M."
00:43:59 I see you have drinks. Would you like
00:44:04 It's all right. Um, we know what we'd like.
00:44:07 We'll take two tricolored salads...
00:44:09 one grilled salmon on lentils
00:44:15 - And Ron?
00:44:17 Sorry. Rom. Could we get that all to go?
00:44:33 It's macaroni and cheese!
00:44:35 - When in Rom.
00:44:40 How's the job hunt going?
00:44:43 A lot of them were already taken.
00:44:45 I'm still getting responses though.
00:44:47 I'm sure the right thing will come along.
00:44:50 How can you be sure of that?
00:44:52 I mean, I hope the right thing comes along.
00:45:00 My dad and I came out here
00:45:06 Voyager 2 will pass within
00:45:10 in approximately 196,000 years.
00:45:13 I brought you something.
00:45:19 Oh. Are there supposed to be presents?
00:45:21 No, no. It was just
00:45:34 "How to Find Work That Works
00:45:43 I thought it might be helpful.
00:45:48 Are you offended?
00:45:53 No.
00:45:55 'Cause I was just trying to help.
00:46:26 Thank you.
00:46:30 You're welcome.
00:46:39 Try to be careful.
00:46:43 I had my heart broken by a big jerk recently.
00:46:49 I need time to take things slowly.
00:46:54 What did he do?
00:46:58 While we were together,
00:47:08 Not together together,
00:47:14 Oh.
00:47:19 So, I need to take things slowly.
00:47:25 - No sex.
00:47:28 - Kissing.
00:47:29 - Holding.
00:47:31 And no sex.
00:47:33 Is that all right?
00:47:39 Yes.
00:47:46 It's only been a month!
00:47:48 How long it should be before you meet Adam
00:47:52 You've just... You made that up.
00:47:58 Don't worry about me. I'm fine.
00:48:03 Has there been any more news
00:48:08 Okay.
00:48:10 Okay. Sure.
00:48:13 I will. I'll tell him.
00:48:16 Okay. I love you, Daddy. Bye.
00:48:20 You can stay for an hour.
00:48:24 Well, I'd have fun at home.
00:48:26 It's not the gates of hell, Adam.
00:48:33 - You look great.
00:48:35 Her name is Ling Yao,
00:48:39 - That's beautiful.
00:48:41 I mean, really, she is young enough.
00:48:46 - Her name is Ling Yao.
00:48:48 - Well, that's who she was when we got her.
00:48:50 - I know. Look at her.
00:48:54 We have a video, of course.
00:48:56 Would you like to see the video?
00:48:58 No, thank you. Where's the bathroom?
00:49:03 Down the hall, second right.
00:49:10 I'd love to see the video.
00:49:12 - Oh, so now you're an expert.
00:49:15 Tory, you don't have to know a lot about Islam...
00:49:18 to understand hunger or...
00:49:22 We don't understand who these people are,
00:49:25 I don't understand people from New Jersey.
00:49:28 Look, either you believe that human beings
00:49:32 or you just throw the towel in.
00:49:35 Buying a telescope is a complicated decision.
00:49:37 - You should focus on your interests.
00:49:40 - What?
00:49:43 Right. A-Are you interested
00:49:47 Or deeper space-nebulae,
00:49:50 Then you want a much larger lens
00:49:54 - The eight-bar refractors go up
00:49:57 Hi. Michael's looking for a telescope
00:50:00 For deep space in a static position...
00:50:03 you could really think about
00:50:09 Have... Have you heard too
00:50:11 No. No.
00:50:13 It's just some of what you're saying
00:50:16 Oh. Okay. Well, I'll start over.
00:50:19 Three basic considerations.
00:50:21 - Kind of lens.
00:50:27 All right.
00:50:31 - Thank you for the information.
00:50:33 - It's a very big decision.
00:50:35 And you.
00:50:41 Wow.
00:50:43 I remember the other kids...
00:50:45 chattering away before school or...
00:50:49 at parties whispering to one another...
00:50:51 and I'd always wonder
00:50:56 Looked so easy.
00:50:59 One, then the other.
00:51:01 Laugh, laugh, laugh.
00:51:03 New topic. Start again.
00:51:08 I started outlining my new book.
00:51:11 - Really excited.
00:51:15 You're going to be the first person I thank...
00:51:17 in my Newberry Award speech.
00:51:20 It's an award for children's books.
00:51:22 No, I know what a Newberry Award is.
00:51:26 Are you still gonna make them talk?
00:51:29 Mm-hmm. They're gonna be
00:51:32 except they live in the park,
00:51:40 Okay. Your turn.
00:51:47 I think the father is gonna be in advertising.
00:51:56 Instead of making stuff up...
00:51:58 why couldn't you write about the real raccoons?
00:52:02 Because it's a children's book,
00:52:05 Well, I'd probably like the nature book better.
00:52:10 Yeah, you probably would.
00:52:22 What? I didn't mean...
00:52:39 This is what I meant.
00:52:51 Oh.
00:52:54 Um...
00:52:56 do you, um...
00:53:00 do you want sex?
00:53:03 I think I do.
00:53:14 You said you needed time.
00:53:18 Well, then take it very, very slowly.
00:54:27 This isn't fair.
00:54:28 What's fair? It's a small manipulation.
00:54:31 - What, you aren't curious?
00:54:33 But if he isn't ready to meet us.
00:54:35 Yeah, well, sometimes
00:54:38 - Beth?
00:54:40 Daddy! Mom! What?
00:54:44 - We're seeing the play.
00:54:46 - What?
00:54:48 I thought we had your tickets.
00:54:51 No, we were going with the Pierces,
00:54:54 Come on! We're not ogres.
00:54:56 - This is Beth's mother, Rebecca. I'm Marty.
00:54:59 - We've heard so much about you.
00:55:01 - Yeah.
00:55:03 Oh, thank you.
00:55:05 - Me and my little girl, we are thick as thieves.
00:55:08 Hi, sweetie. I just couldn't wait any longer.
00:55:12 We rarely go off-Broadway.
00:55:14 I didn't even know this theater still existed.
00:55:16 Oh, the Cherry Lane Theatre is the oldest
00:55:21 Um... It was converted
00:55:25 and-and then in the '20s and '30s and '40s...
00:55:27 it presented the work of writers
00:55:31 John Dos Passos, Eugene O'Neill.
00:55:33 I used to bone up on conversation topics, too,
00:55:36 - Marty!
00:55:38 From 1951 to 1953, uh...
00:55:40 Julian Beck and Judith Malina's
00:55:42 Oh, oh! In 1952, Judith Malina chased
00:55:46 with a spear from her production of Ubu Roi.
00:55:50 Um, Endgame, by Samuel Beckett,
00:55:54 followed by other new works such as
00:55:59 Dutchman, in 1964, by LeRoiJones...
00:56:01 The Happy journey to Trenton and Camden
00:56:08 B-But that... that's enough
00:56:13 Wh-What about the '7 0s?
00:56:15 - Well, in 1971, Godspell opened and then in 197...
00:56:20 Oh. Oh.
00:56:22 - I'm sorry.
00:56:24 History is always very interesting.
00:56:27 Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats.
00:56:30 Shall we?
00:56:43 Oh, they're dying to go to trial
00:56:46 Well, it's-it's written all over them.
00:56:48 - What does Mr. Beranbaum say?
00:56:51 Bottom line, if the feds push this
00:56:55 - Right?
00:56:58 That's why you don't have to be there.
00:56:59 - You said it would help if we showed our support.
00:57:03 Your father's right. You have work.
00:57:05 Mom, I'm covered at work.
00:57:09 What are you accused of, Mr. Buchwald?
00:57:18 I'm accused of trying to help a friend.
00:57:23 - Beth's Uncle Eric...
00:57:26 - made his daughter, Jennifer, C.F.O. of
00:57:29 - I mean, she went to Wharton.
00:57:31 Uncle Eric's not really my uncle.
00:57:33 He's an old friend of Daddy's,
00:57:36 She's young. She made a few mistakes.
00:57:39 I carried them over from one year to the next...
00:57:41 made her look a little better,
00:57:43 It wasn't even a hard call to make,
00:57:47 - Could you go to jail?
00:57:50 No. I'm glad you asked.
00:57:54 Bethy, I'm not going anywhere.
00:57:59 Any more questions, Mr. Prosecutor?
00:58:02 No.
00:58:05 See? He fits right in.
00:58:08 You put him on the spot,
00:58:11 Well, I... I didn't understand what he was saying.
00:58:13 Maybe that's not his fault. Monday
00:58:17 You don't talk about going to jail!
00:58:19 - It seemed like the important thing.
00:58:22 All of a sudden you know what's important?
00:58:24 You can't say two words
00:58:26 but you know what's important to my family.
00:58:28 - I-I do...
00:58:31 - Oh, okay.
00:58:34 - Beth?
00:59:06 May I come in?
00:59:12 I'm sorry.
00:59:14 It's some chocolate.
00:59:16 I'm not Forrest Gump, you know.
00:59:20 Of course not. I didn't me...
00:59:23 - Was that a joke? Are you joking?
00:59:28 I'm sorry.
00:59:30 I...
00:59:33 I took it out on you.
00:59:44 You can apologize too, you know.
00:59:47 Well, you said it was your fault.
00:59:51 I got an interview.
00:59:53 You did?
00:59:55 Halloran Industries, research and engineering...
00:59:58 for space communication and exploration.
01:00:01 Adam, that's... that's perfect!
01:00:04 Break out the chocolate.
01:00:07 Well, no, it's just an interview.
01:00:09 There's a saying in my family:
01:00:23 You'd be good at this job, right?
01:00:25 So all you gotta do is let 'em know it.
01:00:27 That's all? That's impossible.
01:00:29 When is it?
01:00:31 It... February 3... 17 days.
01:00:34 Right. So that's how long you got.
01:00:36 You gotta learn it during the day,
01:00:40 They'll think I'm a freak.
01:00:43 Fine. Whatever you say.
01:00:47 Beth?
01:00:50 Beth?
01:00:56 Come on.
01:01:00 Whoa!
01:01:09 In most interview situations...
01:01:11 the greeting is done in the standing position.
01:01:14 Simple greeting. "Hello. Nice to meet you."
01:01:17 Basic greeting. "Hello. My name is Jason.
01:01:20 Nice to meet you."
01:01:23 Mr. Buchwald, how do you plead?
01:01:25 Not guilty, Your Honor.
01:01:27 Involved greeting.
01:01:29 "Hello. You must be Ms. Austen.
01:01:33 Mr. Raki?
01:01:38 I'm Elizabeth Buchwald.
01:01:40 I'll be interviewing you
01:01:43 - Phone?
01:01:46 Oh, right, right.
01:01:50 Eyes. Please, step into my office.
01:01:53 Make it a goal of your interview...
01:01:55 to mention each of your strengths at least once.
01:01:58 The items listed as assets
01:02:02 covered up in order to increase
01:02:11 Eye contact.
01:02:13 One way to get around
01:02:16 is to have the candidate look
01:02:20 Practice is needed, however,
01:02:23 to remember to look at a forehead.
01:02:33 - Beth?
01:02:35 Just once more, please.
01:02:37 Adam, can't you think about anyone
01:02:42 - I'm sorry.
01:02:44 Okay.
01:02:49 Tell me something about
01:02:54 At your last job, how much of the work
01:02:59 How much as a team?
01:03:01 Now, you've testified that your relationship
01:03:04 is personal as well as professional,
01:03:06 Yes. Eric Cooper and I
01:03:11 He's become a close friend.
01:03:14 Would you tell the court a little...
01:03:16 about your relationship
01:03:20 She's a wonderful young woman.
01:03:23 I've known her her... her whole life.
01:03:26 Isn't it true that you'd be eager to help
01:03:31 - Yes.
01:03:33 Sure.
01:03:35 Now, Mr. Buchwald,
01:03:38 to preserve your own reputation?
01:03:40 No.
01:03:43 Did you have an affair with Ms. Cooper in 2001?
01:03:46 - Objection, Your Honor.
01:03:50 I understand the evidence, counselor.
01:03:53 Please answer the question.
01:03:57 Yes. Briefly.
01:04:00 So, Jennifer had every reason to believe...
01:04:03 that you would help her with this problem.
01:04:05 That had noth...
01:04:11 The one had nothing to do with the other.
01:04:16 Nothing.
01:06:31 All rise.
01:06:41 Be seated.
01:06:49 Mr. Raki.
01:06:52 Hello. You must be Doug Breindel.
01:06:55 - Pleased to meet you.
01:07:14 Six inches by Sunday morning
01:07:18 So it is a major storm.
01:07:21 - Beth?
01:07:24 No, she isn't.
01:07:26 Marty pled guilty.
01:07:29 There's some discretion in sentencing.
01:07:31 The... The hearing is tomorrow.
01:07:33 We may have to make statements,
01:07:37 I called the school,
01:07:39 Do you know when she'll be home?
01:07:41 No. I thought... I was waiting for...
01:07:44 Adam, please. Can you check her calendars,
01:07:48 Okay.
01:07:58 Never mind. Marty's coming. I have to go.
01:08:00 They're... They're keeping him overnight.
01:08:03 Tell her to call me right away.
01:08:19 Adam!
01:08:21 I've been thinking about you all afternoon.
01:08:26 I forgot my phone. How did the interview go?
01:08:35 Okay, you're right.
01:08:38 - Right?
01:08:43 You arranged?
01:08:45 I knew they were gonna be at the theater.
01:08:47 They really wanted to meet you.
01:08:49 Now, will you please tell me what happened?
01:08:54 You lied?
01:08:57 Just a little.
01:09:03 Ha-ha-ha! Fooled you!
01:09:06 Dumb Adam!
01:09:10 Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb Adam!
01:09:12 Adam, I didn't... I... I'm sorry. I...
01:09:17 - Adam, please just calm down.
01:09:19 - No!
01:09:22 - I hate you!
01:09:26 He's guilty! Your mother called.
01:09:28 And he's a liar like you,
01:09:33 You're a child, Adam.
01:09:45 Liar!
01:10:01 A long time ago, when I told Grandpa Morris...
01:10:04 that I wanted to get married...
01:10:07 he said Marty was great...
01:10:10 but that he was an angles guy.
01:10:12 What does that mean?
01:10:14 That he was a guy who plays the angles...
01:10:19 in business, love.
01:10:22 He even said...
01:10:25 he might wind up in jail someday.
01:10:29 And I told him he didn't understand Marty...
01:10:32 and that even if he ended up in jail for life...
01:10:35 I would never regret marrying him.
01:10:40 And I don't.
01:10:48 We have to help him now, Beth.
01:10:52 Tell the judge who your father is in your life...
01:10:56 who he's always been.
01:11:00 Whatever...
01:11:04 bad decisions he's made.
01:11:13 Okay.
01:11:15 Okay, Mom.
01:11:43 Now, I read that planets
01:11:47 like they haven't been in 30,000 years.
01:11:51 Uh-huh.
01:11:55 You didn't get the job you were going for?
01:11:58 No.
01:12:00 That why you so down?
01:12:02 - Hell, I've lost more jobs than...
01:12:05 - Beth and I broke up.
01:12:09 She lied. She lied, and I found out about it.
01:12:12 I can't trust her anymore.
01:12:21 These all seem fine.
01:12:25 Now, before I went into the service...
01:12:28 I met a girl who made me a promise.
01:12:31 When I came back,
01:12:36 But I found out
01:12:39 so I put some things in a bag and I left.
01:12:43 Never spoke to her again.
01:12:46 Though sometimes the wanting to was...
01:12:49 was like a live animal
01:12:53 Thirty-five years.
01:12:56 She's the only picture in my head...
01:13:00 can still stop me in broad daylight...
01:13:03 and make me curse myself
01:13:11 It's not rocket science.
01:13:14 I'm saying you need to talk to the girl
01:13:18 No. I don't know.
01:13:22 Liars is all you're
01:13:26 A man has got to learn the difference
01:13:30 and liars worth lovin'.
01:13:33 Hmm?
01:13:39 Harlan? If you called that girl...
01:13:41 couldn't you stop cursing yourself
01:13:44 even if you still had to be old?
01:13:57 Be seated.
01:14:01 This court sentences you
01:14:04 24 months to be served
01:14:08 followed by three years of mandatory probation.
01:14:12 As per your plea agreement,
01:14:15 Report to the Corrections Department...
01:14:18 Monday, February 9, at 9:00 a.m.
01:14:22 Adjourned.
01:14:31 You have one new message.
01:14:34 Adam, this is Rebecca.
01:14:36 Marty was sentenced
01:14:40 Of course we're all very upset, but Beth...
01:14:45 Anyway, we're going home to Westchester...
01:14:47 211 Richmond Road, Bedford Hills.
01:14:49 You have the number.
01:14:52 For months, all they wanted was
01:14:57 "Do not go about as a talebearer
01:15:01 At least I don't have to pack, right, Becky?
01:15:03 We always pack too much.
01:15:05 This time, just the toothbrush.
01:15:11 Excuse me.
01:15:16 Let's talk for a minute.
01:15:40 Ah, Bethy. Bethy.
01:15:44 Your mother's gonna need your help.
01:15:47 Yeah, I know.
01:15:53 There are things you do,
01:15:56 and... you make your choices.
01:15:59 You live with them.
01:16:02 You and your mother will never want
01:16:07 In two years I'll be back home...
01:16:09 and this will all be over.
01:16:13 One more thing, about Adam?
01:16:18 He's not for you.
01:16:22 It's not his fault,
01:16:26 than... than anything else.
01:16:29 He'll never be the kind of man
01:16:33 And it's not fair that he should hope
01:16:36 that's... impossible.
01:16:41 People with Asperger's get married.
01:16:45 - They have families.
01:16:49 He lives in another world.
01:16:52 You don't need to make
01:16:58 Um... You know this is the best thing.
01:17:04 You do know that, Bethany.
01:19:00 Beth?
01:19:03 Beth Buchwald!
01:19:06 Beth?
01:19:10 Beth Buchwald!
01:19:13 - Beth Buchwald?
01:19:19 I'll get him.
01:19:22 Beth?
01:19:24 - Adam!
01:19:38 We... we have to talk again.
01:19:42 You scared me.
01:19:46 No, I would never, ever do that.
01:19:51 The job was gone.
01:19:54 They hired someone for the job...
01:19:57 but they have another one in an observatory.
01:20:00 They said I was just what they needed.
01:20:03 It starts in April,
01:20:06 I want you to come with me.
01:20:09 I could work, and you could write...
01:20:11 and you wouldn't have to teach anymore.
01:20:14 Hello, Mr. Buchwald. I came... Oh.
01:20:17 I'm sorry you have to go to prison.
01:20:19 I came to ask Beth to
01:20:22 I'd be engineering microchips
01:20:25 I have a job in Flintridge, California.
01:20:28 That's fine. Congratulations, Adam.
01:20:31 - But Beth won't be able to go with you.
01:20:34 - The family needs her. She's needed here.
01:20:37 I can't go without her.
01:20:39 - Well, I'm sorry, Adam, but she can't go.
01:20:42 - You can't do that.
01:20:44 - You can't speak for me.
01:20:46 - You don't make my decisions!
01:20:47 - We're standing in the middle of the st...
01:20:50 - Calm down. Calm down!
01:20:52 Nothing will ever be the same! Nothing!
01:20:55 - And I don't care what you think!
01:20:58 - Let go. Let go of me.
01:21:01 - Adam!
01:21:05 Adam!
01:21:10 - But you're coming to California?
01:21:12 - I mean, home, to the city!
01:21:15 - Maybe! I don't know! I'll think about it!
01:21:18 Mom! I'm gonna take the car.
01:21:21 Come back here!
01:22:10 It didn't go well?
01:22:18 What did he say?
01:22:20 He wouldn't even see me.
01:22:23 I waited in the visiting room for an hour.
01:22:27 And finally a guard came and told me
01:22:33 Your mother said he wasn't ready.
01:22:35 I thought if I actually went.
01:22:38 I didn't think that he wouldn't even see me.
01:22:44 - What are you gonna do?
01:22:48 We're going, right? We're getting on a plane
01:22:55 You should pack. You haven't packed at all.
01:22:58 Can you give me a minute? Okay?
01:23:05 Just leave me alone for a while.
01:23:43 I'm not sure.
01:23:48 Do you know what you want?
01:23:51 We'll never have a moment
01:23:55 and know exactly...
01:23:59 what the other person's feeling.
01:24:03 The idea of that wouldn't
01:24:06 He's never told me that he loves me.
01:24:12 I don't know what it would mean to him if he did.
01:24:18 Yes. Feeling loved is very important...
01:24:21 but...
01:24:23 loving, my precious girl...
01:24:28 that's the necessity.
01:24:35 Mom, I gotta go.
01:24:38 Okay?
01:24:43 I love you, Beth.
01:24:48 Adam?
01:24:51 Why do you want me
01:24:54 What? What do you mean?
01:24:57 Why do you want me to go?
01:25:02 Um...
01:25:09 You, um...
01:25:12 You a-are...
01:25:15 like a part of me.
01:25:24 Um...
01:25:29 and, um...
01:25:34 I n... I need you...
01:25:38 uh, to...
01:25:42 to, uh...
01:25:44 help find a place to live...
01:25:47 and to learn how to get to work and...
01:25:50 to understand what it means
01:25:54 and, um...
01:25:57 I couldn't go without you.
01:26:10 I'm sorry.
01:26:15 I can't go.
01:26:22 If you want me to go because...
01:26:26 you can't go without me, I...
01:26:31 I can't go.
01:28:21 - You sure about this?
01:28:24 I have to go alone.
01:28:26 Give me that.
01:28:32 Hey, I want you to know...
01:28:35 I made that call.
01:28:42 It took me a while to find her...
01:28:47 but we're... we're gonna meet up.
01:28:52 - The woman's even more stubborn than I am.
01:28:58 I'm just trying to say "thank you," damn it.
01:29:03 You're welcome, Harlan.
01:29:34 Actually,
01:29:37 by multiple smaller telescopes
01:29:41 Interferometers combine light waves...
01:29:44 collected from the same source.
01:29:46 Um, a star, for instance, and the...
01:29:50 as they add together, or cancel out,
01:29:53 It's what we call constructive interference,
01:29:56 so that the light from two or more telescopes...
01:29:59 can produce a brighter image
01:30:03 Um...
01:30:08 But sometimes it's best
01:30:15 Thank you. Thank you so much, Mr. Raki.
01:30:18 All right. We'll be heading out.
01:30:20 Watch your step.
01:30:24 Adam. The top one's for you.
01:30:27 Um...
01:30:35 Oh, Carol?
01:30:37 Um, would you like me to help you with those?
01:30:41 Yeah.
01:30:44 Thank you.
01:30:55 - Hey, man.
01:30:57 Oh, you still meeting up with everyone later?
01:31:00 Awesome.
01:31:31 Dear Adam: Look how far we've come.
01:31:35 Love, Beth.
01:31:51 Adam, his mother and his father...
01:31:54 were a family of talking raccoons...
01:31:56 who lived in Central Park
01:31:59 They didn't really belong there,
