00:09:08,722 --> 00:09:10,684
Why bother? Six months
of paperwork at least.

179
00:09:10,767 --> 00:09:11,859
Probably more.

180
00:09:11,942 --> 00:09:12,947
Marriage license is one page

181
00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:14,249
and it takes an hour or so.

182
00:09:15,467 --> 00:09:17,513
I'm gonna guess marriages.

183
00:09:18,688 --> 00:09:20,215
Man [on TV]: Missed you for
lunch, missed you for dinner.

184
00:09:20,298 --> 00:09:21,869
What's the matter?
Don't you eat anymore?

185
00:09:21,952 --> 00:09:23,610
Woman [on TV]: Well, I
wasn't hungry tonight.

186
00:09:23,693 --> 00:09:25,177
Man: Weren't you hungry
this morning either?

187
00:09:25,260 --> 00:09:26,744
-Woman: Who stole my nylons?
-[phone ringing]

188
00:09:26,827 --> 00:09:30,182
Egads! The very... Not very.

189
00:09:30,265 --> 00:09:32,445
Man: Too much rehearsal
last night, huh?

190
00:09:32,528 --> 00:09:33,881
Woman: It was kind of a workout.

191
00:09:33,964 --> 00:09:35,187
Man: That why you slept late?

192
00:09:35,270 --> 00:09:36,493
Woman: Oh, I didn't sleep late.

193
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:37,929
-I went uptown.
-[phone ringing]

194
00:09:38,012 --> 00:09:39,666
-man: Shopping?
-woman: No.

195
00:09:42,712 --> 00:09:43,712
Hey.

196
00:09:45,672 --> 00:09:46,872
Felicia Gordon [on phone]: Hi.

197
00:09:49,327 --> 00:09:50,768
You hung up?

198
00:09:50,851 --> 00:09:52,200
Felicia: Yeah.

199
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,681
But then I figured you
probably saw it. So...

200
00:09:57,031 --> 00:09:58,032
How are you?

201
00:09:58,772 --> 00:10:00,604
Marty Anderson [on
phone]: I'm okay, I guess.

202
00:10:00,687 --> 00:10:01,775
How are you?

203
00:10:02,514 --> 00:10:04,778
I was, um, thinking
about you today.

204
00:10:05,866 --> 00:10:07,828
We were at work talking
about marriages and divorces.

205
00:10:07,911 --> 00:10:09,395
Like, which are
happening more now...

206
00:10:09,478 --> 00:10:10,522
Marriages, I bet.

207
00:10:11,654 --> 00:10:13,221
Ain't nobody waiting
on a divorce.

208
00:10:14,265 --> 00:10:15,545
Felicia: What about remarriages?

209
00:10:17,878 --> 00:10:19,361
You want to buy a guy
a drink first or...

210
00:10:19,444 --> 00:10:20,711
Felicia: I bet
those are happening.

211
00:10:20,794 --> 00:10:21,925
I mean, it makes sense.

212
00:10:22,709 --> 00:10:25,494
People wanting something
comforting and...

213
00:10:26,364 --> 00:10:27,670
familiar.

214
00:10:28,976 --> 00:10:31,282
So... how was your day?

215
00:10:32,283 --> 00:10:34,111
You're just going right
for it, aren't you?

216
00:10:34,764 --> 00:10:35,809
Humor me.

217
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,462
Marty: It was, um...

218
00:10:38,072 --> 00:10:41,993
It was a day, I
guess. [clears throat]

219
00:10:42,076 --> 00:10:44,687
You know? Weird.

220
00:10:45,209 --> 00:10:46,388
Parent-teacher sessions,

221
00:10:46,471 --> 00:10:48,909
felt like pissing in the wind.

222
00:10:49,561 --> 00:10:50,958
You know about
California, right?

223
00:10:51,041 --> 00:10:52,786
Marty: Yeah.

224
00:10:52,869 --> 00:10:54,396
I know they're saying most
of it was already evacuated,

225
00:10:54,479 --> 00:10:56,398
but I heard today there
are hundreds of thousands

226
00:10:56,481 --> 00:10:57,878
of refugees trekking east.

227
00:10:57,961 --> 00:10:59,184
Did you know Nevada
is one of the most

228
00:10:59,267 --> 00:11:00,664
populous states
in the Union now?

229
00:11:00,747 --> 00:11:02,709
I heard a, a
scientist on NPR say

230
00:11:02,792 --> 00:11:05,099
California is peeling
away like old wallpaper.

231
00:11:05,708 --> 00:11:08,493
And another Japanese reactor
got inundated this afternoon.

232
00:11:08,929 --> 00:11:11,152
And they're saying, you know,
it was shut down and all's well,

233
00:11:11,235 --> 00:11:13,154
but I just, I, I don't
think I believe that.

234
00:11:13,237 --> 00:11:15,374
Marty: Cynic.

235
00:11:15,457 --> 00:11:17,158
Well, we're living in
cynical times, Marty.

236
00:11:17,241 --> 00:11:20,505
I mean, some people think
we're living in the last times.

237
00:11:21,028 --> 00:11:23,121
Not just the religious
crazies either. Not anymore.

238
00:11:23,204 --> 00:11:25,819
And you are hearing that from
a member in good standing

239
00:11:25,902 --> 00:11:28,383
of the City General
Suicide Squad.

240
00:11:29,297 --> 00:11:30,519
That's what we
call ourselves now.

241
00:11:30,602 --> 00:11:32,039
No lie.

242
00:11:32,343 --> 00:11:35,089
We lost six today,
but there's 18 more

243
00:11:35,172 --> 00:11:36,830
we dragged back,
mostly with naloxone.

244
00:11:36,913 --> 00:11:38,440
But supplies of that
are getting very thin.

245
00:11:38,523 --> 00:11:40,399
And I heard the
head pharmacist say

246
00:11:40,482 --> 00:11:43,006
we might be completely out
by the end of the month.

247
00:11:43,877 --> 00:11:45,273
That sucks.

248
00:11:45,356 --> 00:11:47,097
Felicia: Yeah. Yeah.[laughs]

249
00:11:47,968 --> 00:11:49,752
Yeah, that sucks.
It, it really sucks.

250
00:11:52,233 --> 00:11:54,108
The internet's down,
and California's hanging

251
00:11:54,191 --> 00:11:55,414
by a thread.

252
00:11:55,497 --> 00:11:57,459
There's fires and famines

253
00:11:57,542 --> 00:11:58,591
and plagues and all the rest.

254
00:11:58,674 --> 00:11:59,940
I mean, it just

255
00:12:00,023 --> 00:12:01,285
the center doesn't hold.

256
00:12:03,157 --> 00:12:04,680
It just won't let up.

257
00:12:08,205 --> 00:12:09,946
How long is this gonna go on?

258
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:13,531
How much can we take
before the whole thing...

259
00:12:14,690 --> 00:12:16,474
before the whole thing
goes apart, I mean.

260
00:12:19,303 --> 00:12:20,435
[sighs]

261
00:12:21,828 --> 00:12:24,482
I'm teaching the kids
Carl Sagan right now.

262
00:12:26,658 --> 00:12:28,835
You ever hear what he said
about the cosmic calendar?

263
00:12:29,749 --> 00:12:32,795
Uh... I don't know.
I don't think so.

264
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:36,281
Well, the universe is
15 billion years old.

265
00:12:36,364 --> 00:12:37,891
And if you took all of that,

266
00:12:37,974 --> 00:12:41,242
all, all 15 billion years

267
00:12:41,325 --> 00:12:45,333
and compress them into
a single calendar year,

268
00:12:45,416 --> 00:12:48,989
then the Big Bang happens in
the first second, January 1st.

269
00:12:49,072 --> 00:12:50,900
And, and today,

270
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,908
oh, right now, we're in
the final millisecond

271
00:12:54,991 --> 00:12:56,732
of the last minute
of the last day,

272
00:12:57,341 --> 00:12:58,738
December 31st.

273
00:12:58,821 --> 00:13:00,697
But if you go back to the start,

274
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:03,221
if the, if the Big Bang happens

275
00:13:03,304 --> 00:13:05,088
at midnight, January 1st,

276
00:13:06,133 --> 00:13:07,921
then each month of this calendar

277
00:13:08,004 --> 00:13:10,141
is one and a quarter
billion years long.

278
00:13:10,224 --> 00:13:12,447
Hey, nobody told me there
was math on this exam.

279
00:13:12,530 --> 00:13:15,146
Marty: The universe
starts January 1st,

280
00:13:15,229 --> 00:13:18,018
but the, uh, the
Milky Way didn't form

281
00:13:18,101 --> 00:13:19,581
until May.

282
00:13:19,929 --> 00:13:21,456
Our sun and our earth,

283
00:13:21,539 --> 00:13:25,108
they don't show up
until mid-September.

284
00:13:25,456 --> 00:13:27,676
Life appears soon
after. But not us.

285
00:13:28,459 --> 00:13:31,510
No. No, no, we don't
appear for guess how long?

286
00:13:31,593 --> 00:13:33,730
Again, I was told
there'd be no math.

287
00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:35,031
Marty: December 31st.

288
00:13:36,119 --> 00:13:37,690
Last day on the calendar,

289
00:13:37,773 --> 00:13:39,692
and the very first
human beings on Earth

290
00:13:39,775 --> 00:13:40,994
made their debut

291
00:13:41,733 --> 00:13:43,213
around 10:30 p.m.

292
00:13:44,345 --> 00:13:47,348
10:30 p.m. on the last day.

293
00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:50,442
And, um, every minute since then

294
00:13:50,525 --> 00:13:52,139
is 30,000 years.

295
00:13:52,222 --> 00:13:56,226
So, 11:46 p.m.,

296
00:13:56,923 --> 00:14:00,752
only 14 minutes ago,
humanity tamed fire

297
00:14:01,884 --> 00:14:04,234
and now we're out of
minutes, we're into seconds.

298
00:14:05,932 --> 00:14:07,764
11:59 and 20 seconds,

299
00:14:07,847 --> 00:14:11,676
the domestication of
plants and animals begin,

300
00:14:12,155 --> 00:14:14,941
an application for the human
talent for making tools.

301
00:14:15,942 --> 00:14:18,335
11:59 and 35 seconds,

302
00:14:19,293 --> 00:14:21,212
agricultural communities

303
00:14:21,295 --> 00:14:23,297
evolved into the first cities.

304
00:14:25,081 --> 00:14:26,343
Our recorded history,

305
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,259
everyone we've ever heard of,

306
00:14:29,781 --> 00:14:33,002
every single thing in any
one of our history books...

307
00:14:35,091 --> 00:14:36,832
happens in the last 10 seconds.

308
00:14:39,487 --> 00:14:41,054
The last 10 seconds

309
00:14:41,968 --> 00:14:43,230
of the last minute

310
00:14:43,970 --> 00:14:45,885
of the last day on the calendar.

311
00:14:47,408 --> 00:14:48,888
December 31st.

312
00:14:53,849 --> 00:14:55,416
So how long is it gonna go on?

313
00:14:56,547 --> 00:14:57,897
I don't know, Fel.

314
00:14:59,289 --> 00:15:01,121
If you're right,
and you might be,

315
00:15:01,204 --> 00:15:04,124
that this really is
the, the last times

316
00:15:04,207 --> 00:15:06,383
and the universe is dying,

317
00:15:07,036 --> 00:15:08,607
and let's just say
it's a fast death,

318
00:15:08,690 --> 00:15:10,435
even if all of this
is happening in the,

319
00:15:10,518 --> 00:15:13,216
the last split second,

320
00:15:14,043 --> 00:15:15,349
microsecond,

321
00:15:16,002 --> 00:15:17,568
who knows how long that'll last.

322
00:15:18,178 --> 00:15:21,137
Maybe seconds, maybe eons.

323
00:15:21,442 --> 00:15:24,188
Maybe all this is happening
as the cosmos burps out

324
00:15:24,271 --> 00:15:25,533
its last breath.

325
00:15:27,883 --> 00:15:29,711
Maybe it's all
happening in the last

326
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,193
single solitary heartbeat.

327
00:15:38,111 --> 00:15:39,547
Jesus, Marty.

328
00:15:42,158 --> 00:15:43,246
Yeah.

329
00:15:44,291 --> 00:15:45,814
[sighs]

330
00:15:49,731 --> 00:15:51,559
Listen, Fel, I should
go. I've, um...

331
00:15:53,865 --> 00:15:55,911
I've got tests to grade.

332
00:15:57,652 --> 00:15:58,652
Felicia: Marty...

333
00:16:00,611 --> 00:16:01,878
the world is going
down the drain,

334
00:16:01,961 --> 00:16:03,575
and all we can say
is, "That sucks."

335
00:16:03,658 --> 00:16:06,661
So, maybe we're going
down the drain too.

336
00:16:07,618 --> 00:16:09,098
Marty: Maybe.

337
00:16:09,446 --> 00:16:11,670
But, you know, Chuck
Krantz is retiring.

338
00:16:11,753 --> 00:16:13,411
-So...
-[Felicia laughing]

339
00:16:13,494 --> 00:16:16,066
...I guess there's a gleam
of light in the darkness.

340
00:16:16,149 --> 00:16:17,763
Yes. Thirty-nine great years.

341
00:16:17,846 --> 00:16:19,373
Marty: Oh, you saw
that weird billboard?

342
00:16:19,456 --> 00:16:21,375
No, it was an ad on
the radio that, um,

343
00:16:21,458 --> 00:16:23,290
[clears throat] that NPR
show I was telling you about.

344
00:16:23,373 --> 00:16:24,857
Marty: If they're
running ads on NPR,

345
00:16:24,940 --> 00:16:25,684
it really is the
end of the world.

346
00:16:25,767 --> 00:16:26,990
[Felicia laughs]

347
00:16:27,073 --> 00:16:28,687
Tell me, how does Chuck Krantz

348
00:16:28,770 --> 00:16:30,558
rate this kind of coverage?

349
00:16:30,641 --> 00:16:33,083
I mean... looks
like an accountant.

350
00:16:33,166 --> 00:16:34,297
I've never heard of him.

351
00:16:35,385 --> 00:16:37,130
Used an old photo too, I guess.

352
00:16:37,213 --> 00:16:39,002
I mean, the guy barely
looks 40 at all,

353
00:16:39,085 --> 00:16:41,352
let alone 40 years on the job.

354
00:16:41,435 --> 00:16:43,089
The world is full of mysteries.

355
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:47,702
And, hey, no hard stuff, Marty.

356
00:16:48,050 --> 00:16:49,617
Okay? Have a beer instead.

357
00:16:52,011 --> 00:16:53,186
You got it.

358
00:16:57,146 --> 00:16:58,978
Newsreader [on TV]: The
Ohio EPA has now issued

359
00:16:59,061 --> 00:17:00,719
a code red air quality alert

360
00:17:00,802 --> 00:17:02,373
for Cleveland and
its surrounding...

Announcer [on TV]: We'd
like to say thank you

367
00:17:36,751 --> 00:17:38,061
to Charles Krantz

368
00:17:38,144 --> 00:17:41,151
for 39 great years.

369
00:17:41,234 --> 00:17:42,800
Thanks, Chuck.

00:17:47,196 --> 00:17:48,197

Marty: Gus!

376
00:18:12,613 --> 00:18:14,658
Oh. Hey, Marty.

377
00:18:15,311 --> 00:18:16,530
Where's your car?

378
00:18:17,139 --> 00:18:18,710
[Gus chuckles] It's... it's on,

379
00:18:18,793 --> 00:18:20,146
it's on the sidewalk
halfway down

380
00:18:20,229 --> 00:18:22,235
Main Street Hill with
a hundred others.

381
00:18:22,318 --> 00:18:23,802
I finally just had
to turn around.

382
00:18:23,885 --> 00:18:25,630
Fuck it, I walked...

383
00:18:25,713 --> 00:18:27,153
What do you think it
is, like, three miles?

384
00:18:27,236 --> 00:18:28,759
I just walked three miles.

385
00:18:29,195 --> 00:18:31,331
Oh, you're going to
school. Hold on a sec.

386
00:18:31,414 --> 00:18:35,161
Uh, real quick, you
gotta, you gotta go,

387
00:18:35,244 --> 00:18:37,163
listen to me, you
gotta go out Route 11

388
00:18:37,246 --> 00:18:39,513
and then hook back
on, on, on 19.

389
00:18:39,596 --> 00:18:41,776
Yeah. There's gonna
be plenty of traffic.

390
00:18:41,859 --> 00:18:43,256
You gotta go out
at least 20 miles.

391
00:18:43,339 --> 00:18:44,736
You might make it before lunch.

392
00:18:44,819 --> 00:18:47,173
-I wouldn't count on it.
-What happened?

393
00:18:47,256 --> 00:18:49,393
Giant sinkhole opened
up on Market and Main.

394
00:18:49,476 --> 00:18:51,482
Man, the-the thing,
it, uh, it's huge.

395
00:18:51,565 --> 00:18:53,745
All the rain probably had
something to do with it,

396
00:18:53,828 --> 00:18:55,529
lack of maintenance
maybe more so.

397
00:18:55,612 --> 00:18:57,836
But it's not my
department, thank God.

398
00:18:57,919 --> 00:18:59,573
But, yeah, there's,
there's gotta be

399
00:19:00,269 --> 00:19:01,883
-20 cars at the bottom.
-[Marty scoffs]

400
00:19:01,966 --> 00:19:03,711
And some of the people
in some of those cars,

401
00:19:03,794 --> 00:19:05,278
they ain't comin' back.

402
00:19:05,361 --> 00:19:07,407
Jesus, I was, I was
just there last night,

403
00:19:08,234 --> 00:19:09,674
backed up in traffic.

404
00:19:09,757 --> 00:19:11,357
Thank God you weren't
there this morning.

405
00:19:12,542 --> 00:19:13,978
I assume you know
about California.

406
00:19:15,154 --> 00:19:16,768
I didn't turn on
the TV this morning.

407
00:19:16,851 --> 00:19:17,986
-Oh!
-Is there something new?

408
00:19:18,069 --> 00:19:19,680
The, the rest of it went.

409
00:19:21,029 --> 00:19:23,601
I-I mean, th-they're saying
that 20% of Northern California

410
00:19:23,684 --> 00:19:26,256
is hanging in there, which
probably means, what, 10%?

411
00:19:26,339 --> 00:19:28,993
But the food-producing
regions are... they're gone.

412
00:19:30,517 --> 00:19:32,131
And with the Midwest
turning to charcoal

413
00:19:32,214 --> 00:19:33,828
and Florida
flooding, that's like

414
00:19:33,911 --> 00:19:35,696
all the food-producing regions

415
00:19:36,305 --> 00:19:38,311
in the country just gone.

416
00:19:38,394 --> 00:19:39,704
And the same thing with Europe.

417
00:19:39,787 --> 00:19:41,271
I mean, it's famine
time in Asia.

418
00:19:41,354 --> 00:19:42,707
There's a million people dead.

419
00:19:42,790 --> 00:19:44,361
They're saying it's
the bub-bublonic,

420
00:19:44,444 --> 00:19:45,536
-bubonic plague.
-Bubonic.

421
00:19:45,619 --> 00:19:47,494
Bu-Bubonic plague. Yeah.

422
00:19:47,577 --> 00:19:49,801
And the bees, I mean, they
were in trouble a decade ago,

423
00:19:49,884 --> 00:19:51,281
but they're completely gone now.

424
00:19:51,364 --> 00:19:52,499
I mean, there's a couple
of hives or whatever

425
00:19:52,582 --> 00:19:53,979
down in South America,

426
00:19:54,062 --> 00:19:55,894
but there ain't no honey, honey.

427
00:19:55,977 --> 00:19:58,244
And without those little guys,
like, what's gonna pollinate

428
00:19:58,327 --> 00:19:59,680
all the crops we have left?

429
00:19:59,763 --> 00:20:00,725
I mean, I can't do...

430
00:20:00,808 --> 00:20:02,074
Excuse me. One sec.

431
00:20:02,157 --> 00:20:03,380
Yeah, yeah. That's-that's cool.

432
00:20:03,463 --> 00:20:05,251
A-Andrea? Are you,

433
00:20:05,334 --> 00:20:07,123
are you Andrea
from Midwest Trust?

434
00:20:07,206 --> 00:20:09,168
I'm Felicia Anderson's husband.

435
00:20:09,251 --> 00:20:11,344
Ex, actually.

436
00:20:11,427 --> 00:20:12,867
I think you and Fel
know each other.

437
00:20:12,950 --> 00:20:14,652
We met at a, a, a
game night at David's.

438
00:20:14,735 --> 00:20:16,476
-A few game nights.
-Yeah, sure.

439
00:20:17,216 --> 00:20:18,478
What do you want?

440
00:20:18,826 --> 00:20:21,006
I just had a long walk,
and my car is stuck,

441
00:20:21,089 --> 00:20:22,482
and the bank is,

442
00:20:23,047 --> 00:20:24,048
it's leaning.

443
00:20:25,441 --> 00:20:26,442
Leaning?

444
00:20:27,008 --> 00:20:28,052
Yeah.

445
00:20:28,531 --> 00:20:29,924
It's on the edge
of the sinkhole.

446
00:20:31,447 --> 00:20:32,931
Guess that's the end of my job.

447
00:20:33,014 --> 00:20:34,585
Marty: Hey, I'm curious
about the billboard

448
00:20:34,668 --> 00:20:36,108
on the bank building.

449
00:20:36,191 --> 00:20:37,414
-Have you seen it?
-How could I miss it?

450
00:20:37,497 --> 00:20:40,456
And I saw the ads too, on TV.

451
00:20:40,891 --> 00:20:43,159
No more ads for cars
or discount furniture.

452
00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:45,378
Just, "Charles Krantz,

453
00:20:45,461 --> 00:20:47,902
39 great years. Thanks, Chuck."

454
00:20:47,985 --> 00:20:49,469
Marty: So, he doesn't
work at the bank?

455
00:20:49,552 --> 00:20:52,080
He's not retiring from the bank?

456
00:20:52,163 --> 00:20:54,035
I don't know Charles Krantz.

457
00:20:55,123 --> 00:20:57,386
I think it's just a
prank. Performance art.

458
00:20:59,954 --> 00:21:00,955
Take care.

459
00:21:07,831 --> 00:21:09,311
Gus: They look like refugees.

460
00:21:10,530 --> 00:21:11,531
Marty: Yeah.

461
00:21:13,924 --> 00:21:15,491
No one looks that concerned.

462
00:21:16,405 --> 00:21:18,106
[groans] What good
would that do?

463
00:21:18,189 --> 00:21:19,974
All was concerned at the start.

464
00:21:20,714 --> 00:21:22,459
Remember the protests?
You remember...

465
00:21:22,542 --> 00:21:24,330
they knocked over the
fence at the White House,

466
00:21:24,413 --> 00:21:26,245
and all those students got shot?

467
00:21:26,328 --> 00:21:27,986
-Yeah.
-And the overthrow of the Russian government.

468
00:21:28,069 --> 00:21:30,597
You got the Four Day War
between Pakistan and India

469
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:35,511
and the fucking... the
volcano in Germany.

470
00:21:35,990 --> 00:21:38,993
There was a volcano in
Germany. That's, that's crazy.

471
00:21:39,472 --> 00:21:41,913
And we just kept saying,
"Oh, it's gonna blow over."

472
00:21:41,996 --> 00:21:44,172
That doesn't look to be
happening, though, does it?

473
00:21:47,044 --> 00:21:48,398
No.

474
00:21:48,481 --> 00:21:50,744
I think that suicides
will slow down.

475
00:21:52,354 --> 00:21:56,402
I think people
will just... wait.

476
00:21:58,926 --> 00:22:00,319
For what?

477
00:22:01,102 --> 00:22:02,146
The end.

478
00:22:04,888 --> 00:22:06,281
This is the end of everything.

479
00:22:08,196 --> 00:22:09,636
I mean, we're,
we're going through

480
00:22:09,719 --> 00:22:11,029
the five stages of grief.

481
00:22:11,112 --> 00:22:12,596
Don't you get it?
I mean, we just,

482
00:22:12,679 --> 00:22:14,855
we just landed on
the final stage.

483
00:22:15,464 --> 00:22:16,596
Acceptance.

484
00:22:18,598 --> 00:22:19,642
The waiting...

485
00:22:22,253 --> 00:22:23,690
I think that's the hardest part.

486
00:22:25,822 --> 00:22:28,568
And the whole thing, it just,
it-it came out of nowhere, right?

487
00:22:28,651 --> 00:22:31,223
I mean, everyone knew there was
trouble with the environment.

488
00:22:31,306 --> 00:22:33,312
I mean, I think even
the right-wing nutjobs

489
00:22:33,395 --> 00:22:34,748
were secretly, they got it.

490
00:22:34,831 --> 00:22:36,224
But this...

491
00:22:37,834 --> 00:22:38,966
[voice breaking] this...

492
00:22:39,532 --> 00:22:44,885
this is just 60 different
varieties of shit.

493
00:22:45,451 --> 00:22:48,454
It's just so much shit
that happened fast.

494
00:22:48,932 --> 00:22:51,370
It's like a year,
man. Fourteen months.

495
00:22:53,197 --> 00:22:54,808
[sighs] Sucks.

496
00:22:57,419 --> 00:22:58,419
[sniffles]

497
00:22:59,639 --> 00:23:02,341
Yeah. Sucks. [laughs]

498
00:23:02,424 --> 00:23:05,518
[airplane droning]

499
00:23:05,601 --> 00:23:06,601
Huh.

500
00:23:07,168 --> 00:23:08,343
Skywriting.

501
00:23:11,607 --> 00:23:14,044
I haven't seen one of
those since I was a kid.

502
00:23:16,482 --> 00:23:17,613
Oh.

503
00:23:19,180 --> 00:23:20,355
What the fuck?

504
00:23:22,096 --> 00:23:25,839
My sentiments... exactly.

505
00:23:28,798 --> 00:23:32,236

-[sirens wailing]

506

[lights buzzing]

509
00:23:57,740 --> 00:23:59,742
[panting]

510
00:24:00,700 --> 00:24:02,358
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
where have you been?

511
00:24:02,441 --> 00:24:03,616
Are you kidding?

512
00:24:04,051 --> 00:24:05,665
[panting] I had to run here.

513
00:24:05,748 --> 00:24:08,712
The traffic's insane, and
half the cars are empty.

514
00:24:08,795 --> 00:24:09,843
Dr. Winston's MIA.

515
00:24:09,926 --> 00:24:11,541
-What?
-Yeah.

516
00:24:11,624 --> 00:24:12,846
He walked in this morning,
and he looked around

517
00:24:12,929 --> 00:24:13,891
and he walked out again.

518
00:24:13,974 --> 00:24:15,414
And now I can't find him.

519
00:24:15,497 --> 00:24:17,057
He dropped his pager
when he walked out.

520
00:24:17,456 --> 00:24:19,679
[panting] Okay. I'll scrub in.

521
00:24:19,762 --> 00:24:21,068
The beds are empty.

522
00:24:22,112 --> 00:24:23,596
Most of them walked
out. I-I-I transferred

523
00:24:23,679 --> 00:24:25,250
the last of the stable ones.

524
00:24:25,333 --> 00:24:27,992
But, Felicia, there's
something weird.

525
00:24:28,075 --> 00:24:31,125
[monitor beeping steadily]

526
00:24:31,208 --> 00:24:32,471
What is that?

527
00:24:36,475 --> 00:24:39,869
[beeping continues]

528
00:24:45,266 --> 00:24:46,789

Chuck was forbidden

That was his grandfather's rule,

11th birthday,

1109

If the universe

1114
01:02:17,124 --> 01:02:19,783

him, not there in person,

of house this is?

And not pretend
Victorian either.

1147
01:03:45,299 --> 01:03:48,259
It was built in 1885.

I wouldn't mind a glass of milk.

1241
01:08:43,771 --> 01:08:45,077
Well, your
grandmother's a saint.

1242
01:08:46,165 --> 01:08:47,649
And what about your granddad?

1243
01:08:47,732 --> 01:08:49,390
Did he have that thing
on his back looked at?

1244
01:08:49,473 --> 01:08:52,088
Yeah, the, the doctor took
it off and had it tested.

1245
01:08:52,171 --> 01:08:53,371
[whispers] Tell me everything.

1246
01:08:53,868 --> 01:08:55,435
It wasn't one of the bad ones.

1247
01:08:56,567 --> 01:08:57,829
Thank God for that.

1248
01:08:58,308 --> 01:08:59,308
Yeah.

1249
01:09:00,875 --> 01:09:03,012
He, um, he was
talking to Grandma

1250
01:09:03,095 --> 01:09:05,750
about someone named
Henry Peterson.

1251
01:09:07,621 --> 01:09:08,844
So awful.

1252
01:09:08,927 --> 01:09:10,541
You know, Henry
was a bookkeeper,

1253
01:09:10,624 --> 01:09:11,930
just like your granddad.

1254
01:09:12,365 --> 01:09:14,110
He did a lot of the
other businesses in town.

1255
01:09:14,193 --> 01:09:15,546
The ones that your
Zaydee didn't do...

1256
01:09:15,629 --> 01:09:17,065
How did it happen?

1257
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:21,683
I don't think you want
to hear about that stuff.

1258
01:09:21,766 --> 01:09:26,035
Um, w-w-well, Granddad
said it was, uh, peaceful.

1259
01:09:26,118 --> 01:09:27,598
[mouth full] Peaceful?

1260
01:09:28,294 --> 01:09:30,514
He killed himself. Hung himself.

1261
01:09:31,210 --> 01:09:32,781
His wife, you see, she ran off

1262
01:09:32,864 --> 01:09:34,826
with this younger man,
barely old enough to vote.

1263
01:09:34,909 --> 01:09:37,129
And she was in her 40s.
What do you think of that?

1264
01:09:38,478 --> 01:09:39,962
-Wow.
-Damn right, wow.

1265
01:09:40,045 --> 01:09:42,134
And then, I heard that...

1266
01:09:48,009 --> 01:09:49,446
What's happening at school?

1267
01:09:51,187 --> 01:09:53,410
-Who's smooching who?
-[chuckles]

1268
01:09:53,493 --> 01:09:56,500
teacher: "Talk honestly,
for no one else hears you

1269
01:09:56,583 --> 01:09:58,720
and I stay only
a minute longer."

1271

01:10:03,808 --> 01:10:05,070
"I contradict myself,"

"I am large.

1274

1275
01:10:11,032 --> 01:10:13,256
Narrator: On the last
day of sixth grade,

1276
01:10:13,339 --> 01:10:14,866
Miss Richards,

1277
01:10:14,949 --> 01:10:16,999
a sweet, hippie-dippyish
young woman

1278
01:10:17,082 --> 01:10:19,480
who had no command of discipline

1279
01:10:19,563 --> 01:10:21,699
and would probably not last long

1280
01:10:21,782 --> 01:10:24,354
in the public education system,

1281
01:10:24,437 --> 01:10:27,009
tried to recite
for Chuck's class

1282
01:10:27,092 --> 01:10:31,357
some verse of Walt
Whitman's "Song of Myself."

1283
01:10:32,793 --> 01:10:35,318
"Failing to fetch me at
first keep encouraged.

1284
01:10:36,275 --> 01:10:38,451
Missing me one place,
search another."

1285
01:10:39,278 --> 01:10:42,194
-[bell ringing]
-[students chattering]

1286
01:10:52,335 --> 01:10:53,988
That went well, don't you think?

1287
01:10:55,163 --> 01:10:57,601
Yeah, I'm, I'm sorry about that.

1288
01:10:59,385 --> 01:11:03,433
What does he mean when
he says, "I am large,

1289
01:11:03,955 --> 01:11:06,174
I contain multitudes"?

1290
01:11:09,395 --> 01:11:10,701
What do you think he means?

1291
01:11:11,745 --> 01:11:13,925
All the people he knows.

1292
01:11:14,008 --> 01:11:15,096
Yes.

1293
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:17,316
But maybe he means even more.

1294
01:11:18,796 --> 01:11:20,276
Here. Come here.

1295
01:11:24,323 --> 01:11:26,677
What's in there?
Between my hands?

1296
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:28,505
-My brain.
-[chuckles]

1297
01:11:28,588 --> 01:11:30,851
No, um, that's not
exactly what I mean.

1298
01:11:31,809 --> 01:11:32,940
What's in there?

1299
01:11:33,506 --> 01:11:35,334
Right between my
hands right now.

1300
01:11:37,031 --> 01:11:38,119
I don't know.

1301
01:11:38,685 --> 01:11:39,947
All the people you know?

1302
01:11:41,122 --> 01:11:42,123
I guess.

1303
01:11:42,820 --> 01:11:44,212
Just the people you know?

1304
01:11:46,824 --> 01:11:47,999
Everything you see.

1305
01:11:48,782 --> 01:11:50,175
Everything you know.

1306
01:11:51,481 --> 01:11:53,443
The world, Chuck.

1307
01:11:53,526 --> 01:11:56,229
Planes in the sky. Manhole
covers in the street.

1308
01:11:56,312 --> 01:11:59,362
Every year that you live,
that world inside your head

1309
01:11:59,445 --> 01:12:03,319
will get bigger and brighter
and more detailed and complex.

1310
01:12:04,145 --> 01:12:06,935
You will build cities and
countries and continents,

1311
01:12:07,018 --> 01:12:10,765
and you will fill them
with people and faces,

1312
01:12:10,848 --> 01:12:12,201
real and imagined.

1313
01:12:12,284 --> 01:12:13,851
Do you understand?

1314
01:12:15,374 --> 01:12:16,727
Don't stop there.

1315
01:12:16,810 --> 01:12:18,860
You fill the whole thing

1316
01:12:18,943 --> 01:12:20,640
with everyone you ever meet,

1317
01:12:21,206 --> 01:12:22,555
everyone you ever know,

1318
01:12:23,121 --> 01:12:25,471
everyone you ever just imagine.

1319
01:12:26,603 --> 01:12:28,256
It'll be a universe.

1320
01:12:29,780 --> 01:12:33,305
A whole universe right
between my hands.

1321
01:12:35,351 --> 01:12:37,875
You contain multitudes.

1322
01:12:41,182 --> 01:12:42,227
So...

1323
01:12:44,011 --> 01:12:46,884
what happens to that
universe if someone...

1324
01:12:48,276 --> 01:12:49,756
I don't know,

1325
01:12:50,453 --> 01:12:53,760
hits a patch of ice and
goes off an overpass or...

1326
01:12:56,937 --> 01:12:58,722
Don't worry too much
about those things.

1327
01:12:59,810 --> 01:13:03,422
Just remember that you
contain multitudes, Chuck.

1328
01:13:05,337 --> 01:13:06,599
Isn't that wonderful?

1329
01:13:09,167 --> 01:13:11,391
Now, go on. You were
such a good boy.

1330
01:13:11,474 --> 01:13:13,345
I've really enjoyed
having you in class.

Narrator: Chuck did
enjoy his summer

1334
01:13:37,151 --> 01:13:38,718
until August,

1335
01:13:39,458 --> 01:13:40,633
when Bubbie died.

1336
01:13:41,199 --> 01:13:44,071
[indistinct praying]

1337
01:13:45,464 --> 01:13:47,209
It happened at the grocery store

1338
01:13:47,292 --> 01:13:49,385
down the street, in public,

1339
01:13:49,468 --> 01:13:52,083
which was a little undignified,

1340
01:13:52,166 --> 01:13:54,172
but at least it was
the kind of death

1341
01:13:54,255 --> 01:13:55,783
where people can safely say...

1342
01:13:55,866 --> 01:13:57,345
Thank God she didn't suffer.

1343
01:13:59,086 --> 01:14:00,353
Narrator: The other standby...

1344
01:14:00,436 --> 01:14:02,137
She had a long, full life.

1345
01:14:02,220 --> 01:14:04,222
Narrator: ...was
more of a gray area.

1346
01:14:05,136 --> 01:14:08,182
Sarah Krantz had yet
to reach her mid-60s.

1347
01:14:12,056 --> 01:14:14,802
Once more, the house
on Pilchard Street

1348
01:14:14,885 --> 01:14:17,670
was one of
unadulterated sadness.

1349
01:14:19,106 --> 01:14:22,723
Albie wore his mourning
band, and lost weight,

1350
01:14:22,806 --> 01:14:25,160
and stopped telling his jokes

1351
01:14:25,243 --> 01:14:28,768
and began to look older
than his 70 years.

1352

[peppy music plays in store]

1353

-Yeah.

Buck 75.

1355
01:14:43,391 --> 01:14:46,612
Um, that lady who was
in here a few weeks ago,

1356
01:14:47,570 --> 01:14:49,441
the one who died.

1357
01:14:50,355 --> 01:14:53,010
Where was she when it happened?

1358
01:14:53,489 --> 01:14:55,316
That's a little creepy, kid.

1359
01:14:57,362 --> 01:14:58,711
She was my grandma.

1360
01:15:01,018 --> 01:15:02,937
Clerk: She was getting
a loaf of bread.

1361
01:15:03,020 --> 01:15:04,765
Pulled down almost everything

1362
01:15:04,848 --> 01:15:06,589
on the shelf when she collapsed.

1363
01:15:07,415 --> 01:15:11,071
I'm sorry if that's
too much information.

1364
01:15:12,769 --> 01:15:13,987
Nah.

1365
01:15:15,511 --> 01:15:16,686
I already knew that.

What did you see?

What did you see?

1386
01:17:06,665 --> 01:17:09,581
I'm sorry. It's just, you can't.

1387

You can't do that, Chucky.

1388

You just can't.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

What do you know?
Three boys this year.

1399

It's a new record.

1400
01:18:11,774 --> 01:18:13,388
You gentlemen might
find yourselves

1401

being teased for your new hobby.

the smartest young men

Nothing? Alright.

1410
01:18:33,317 --> 01:18:34,757
You have chosen what might be

1411
01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:37,107

school has ever had.

three, one, two, three.

1578
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:16,954
it can tell you stuff
about your future.

1579
01:26:18,477 --> 01:26:20,218
It could tell you, for example,

1580
01:26:21,611 --> 01:26:23,356
you're more likely to be drafted

1581
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:25,401
by a major league sports team

1582
01:26:25,484 --> 01:26:28,052
than to make a real
living as a dancer.

1583
01:26:32,056 --> 01:26:35,146
The world loves
dancers, it truly does.

1584
01:26:35,799 --> 01:26:40,068
But it needs accountants,
so there's much more demand,

1585
01:26:40,151 --> 01:26:42,719
so there's much
more opportunity.

1586
01:26:44,024 --> 01:26:47,114
I know that might hurt,
but it's the truth.

1587

Narrator: The scar meant more,

1769
01:37:05,167 --> 01:37:07,169
so he had made it more.

1770
01:37:07,647 --> 01:37:11,477
He just couldn't make it as
much more as it really was.

1771
01:37:12,087 --> 01:37:14,223
That made little sense.

1772

his Zaydee,

1783
01:37:58,655 --> 01:38:00,313
died of a heart attack

Not many people
bother to do that.

1794
01:38:26,857 --> 01:38:29,338
they come here once
to set it all up.

1795
01:38:30,165 --> 01:38:31,862
They aren't anxious
to come back again.

if you get me.

1798
01:38:39,957 --> 01:38:43,004
He was a great man
and a good friend.

1799
01:38:44,570 --> 01:38:47,229
He's been doing our
books for 23 years

1800
01:38:47,312 --> 01:38:49,579
and saved our skin
more than once

1801

when the tax man was coming.

1802
01:38:53,753 --> 01:38:56,238
So, do I owe you any money?

1803

Not a penny.

1804

too. Settled his tab

dreamed of being a
television weatherman

1811
01:39:16,863 --> 01:39:18,043
in my salad days

1812
01:39:18,126 --> 01:39:19,605
with maybe one of the networks.

1813
01:39:20,867 --> 01:39:22,130
Wasn't in the cards for me.

1814
01:39:23,305 --> 01:39:26,917
But I did spend
a summer at WKNB.

1815
01:39:28,136 --> 01:39:30,751
Well, there was a guy

1816
01:39:30,834 --> 01:39:32,884
at KNB who they said

1817
01:39:32,967 --> 01:39:34,886

1821

Damnedest thing I ever saw.

1822
01:39:43,064 --> 01:39:45,287
Uh, used to make this face,

1823
01:39:45,370 --> 01:39:48,769
this face when people talked
about their travel plans,

1824
01:39:48,852 --> 01:39:50,858
if he knew something
they didn't.

1825
01:39:50,941 --> 01:39:54,035
Not... not a smile, per se.

1826
01:39:54,118 --> 01:39:55,863
No joy in it.

1827
01:39:55,946 --> 01:39:59,080
Just a... knowing.

1828
01:40:00,385 --> 01:40:02,126
"Weatherman Stare," I called it.

1829
01:40:03,301 --> 01:40:05,917
And I didn't have it, not me.

1830
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:08,350
So, I'm here, not there.

1831
01:40:11,222 --> 01:40:14,055
Your granddad had that same face

1832
01:40:14,138 --> 01:40:15,661
when he was in here.

1833
01:40:16,619 --> 01:40:20,057
Like... he knew
it was gonna rain.

1834
01:40:20,753 --> 01:40:23,147
And I was just a guy
selling him an umbrella.

1835
01:40:25,541 --> 01:40:26,846
Weatherman Stare.

1836
01:40:27,847 --> 01:40:29,327
[chuckles] I'm sure of it.

Narrator: Albie
left him everything.

1839
01:40:36,465 --> 01:40:39,685
More than enough to pay
for his college education.

1840
01:40:40,164 --> 01:40:42,823
And later on, the
sale of the Victorian

1841
01:40:42,906 --> 01:40:45,913
paid for the house he
and Ginny moved into

1842
01:40:45,996 --> 01:40:48,390
after their honeymoon
in the Catskills.

1843
01:40:50,479 --> 01:40:53,355
He flatly refused
to move to Omaha

1844
01:40:53,438 --> 01:40:55,658
to live with his
mother's parents.

1845
01:40:56,267 --> 01:40:58,099
-Look, I love you guys...

1846
01:40:58,182 --> 01:41:01,494
...but this is where I grew up
and want to stay till college.

1847

I'm 17. I'm not a baby.

1848
01:41:03,709 --> 01:41:06,020
Narrator: So, they,
both long retired,

1849
01:41:06,103 --> 01:41:07,674
came to him

1850
01:41:07,757 --> 01:41:09,589
and stayed in the Victorian

1851
01:41:09,672 --> 01:41:12,461
for the 20-odd months
before Chuck went off

1852
01:41:12,544 --> 01:41:14,546
to the University of Illinois.

1853
01:41:16,940 --> 01:41:20,161
They weren't able to be there
for the funeral, however.

1854
01:41:21,684 --> 01:41:24,212
It happened fast,
as Albie had wanted,

1855
01:41:24,295 --> 01:41:26,258
and his mom's folks
had loose ends

1856
01:41:26,341 --> 01:41:28,125
to tie up in Omaha.

1857
01:41:29,344 --> 01:41:31,911
Chuck didn't really miss
them, if he was honest.

He'd seen Henry Peterson
hanging from the ceiling.

01:44:11,245 --> 01:44:13,943
He'd seen his own
wife lying dead.

1879
01:44:14,378 --> 01:44:16,819
And likely, Chuck supposed,

1880
01:44:16,902 --> 01:44:20,079
perhaps the night Chuck
had stolen his keys,

1881
01:44:20,993 --> 01:44:25,263
Albie had even seen himself
crumpled to the floor,

1882
01:44:25,346 --> 01:44:27,348
still clutching his upper arm.

1883
01:44:28,914 --> 01:44:31,177
