00:08:23,420 --> 00:08:24,255
Never mind.

178
00:08:24,338 --> 00:08:27,132
I offered a positive assessment
of your scholarship.

179
00:08:27,216 --> 00:08:28,842
The P&T committee doesn't buy it

180
00:08:28,926 --> 00:08:31,428
when I don't express
any reservations whatsoever.

181
00:08:31,512 --> 00:08:32,763
So believe it or not,

182
00:08:33,973 --> 00:08:35,641
I'm… I'm trying to help you.

183
00:08:35,724 --> 00:08:37,434
-[laughing] Help me?
-[Rentz] Yeah.

184
00:08:37,977 --> 00:08:39,979
-You're helping me?
-Yes.

185
00:08:45,025 --> 00:08:48,696
Ji-Yoon came to me
and begged me to co-teach with you

186
00:08:48,779 --> 00:08:50,531
because your enrollments were so low.

187
00:08:50,614 --> 00:08:52,575
-What?
-[Yaz] You were on a list.

188
00:08:52,658 --> 00:08:54,660
They were gonna force you to retire.

189
00:08:54,743 --> 00:08:57,204
So she merged us so that
you could piggyback on my enrollments.

190
00:08:57,288 --> 00:08:58,122
What list?

191
00:08:59,206 --> 00:09:00,833
You're lecturing to an empty hall.

192
00:09:00,916 --> 00:09:02,793
Because I don't pander to my students.

193
00:09:02,876 --> 00:09:05,671
-Nobody wants what you're selling.
-I'm not a salesman.

194
00:09:05,754 --> 00:09:09,049
You're not a professor either,
'cause you don't have any students.

195
00:09:11,468 --> 00:09:12,469
John?

196
00:09:13,304 --> 00:09:14,513
-John!
-[gasps]

197
00:09:14,597 --> 00:09:16,265
Have you heard about a list?

198
00:09:16,348 --> 00:09:20,644
All us dinosaurs, they're targeting us,
trying to force us into retirement.

199
00:09:21,604 --> 00:09:22,980
We gotta band together.

200
00:09:23,063 --> 00:09:25,065
There's strength in numbers.

201
00:09:25,691 --> 00:09:29,945
We're still in our intellectual prime
and have plenty to offer.

202
00:09:30,613 --> 00:09:32,323
[farts]

203
00:09:33,824 --> 00:09:35,200
Was that you or me?

204
00:09:36,201 --> 00:09:37,911
For the Distinguished Lectureship,

205
00:09:37,995 --> 00:09:40,581
I was thinking of presenting
my Yale dissertation.

206
00:09:41,498 --> 00:09:44,960
"The Schizophrenic Critique
of Pure Reason in Beckett’s Early Novels."

207
00:09:45,044 --> 00:09:46,587
I only wrote the one chapter.

208
00:09:46,670 --> 00:09:50,591
Well, that's… that's a hell of a chapter.
Did you use really big font?

209
00:09:51,884 --> 00:09:52,718
Nope.

210
00:09:52,801 --> 00:09:54,637
I got sidetracked for a few decades,

211
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:59,099
but I've… I've been thinking recently
about finishing it and filing for my PhD.

212
00:09:59,850 --> 00:10:01,143
Dr. David Duchovny.

213
00:10:01,226 --> 00:10:02,895
Maybe too much alliteration.

214
00:10:04,188 --> 00:10:05,856
Do you think it's unfair

215
00:10:05,939 --> 00:10:09,276
for people to start thinking of me
as Dr. David Duchovny

216
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,613
after thinking of me
as just David Duchovny for so many years?

217
00:10:15,282 --> 00:10:16,158
Um…

218
00:10:16,241 --> 00:10:19,328
Anyway, take a gander.
I reread it last night. It's…

219
00:10:19,411 --> 00:10:21,789
It's pretty good. Prescient, even.

220
00:10:21,872 --> 00:10:23,290
Prescient? Really?

221
00:10:25,668 --> 00:10:28,379
I think it's pronounced "prescient,"
unless we're English.

222
00:10:28,462 --> 00:10:30,255
Aren't we speaking English?

223
00:10:30,339 --> 00:10:32,925
I mean, maybe you chose
the wrong department.

224
00:10:33,008 --> 00:10:36,387
Maybe you're better suited
for the schiences.

225
00:10:38,055 --> 00:10:42,101
Oh, and I… I don't say that
because you're Asian.

226
00:10:43,018 --> 00:10:45,145
I mean, I don't even know
that you are Asian.

227
00:10:45,229 --> 00:10:46,939
And I don't see color,

228
00:10:48,148 --> 00:10:49,483
or ethnicity,

229
00:10:49,566 --> 00:10:52,528
or even faces at this point.

230
00:10:52,611 --> 00:10:55,781
I just see vibe, an aura.

231
00:10:55,864 --> 00:10:57,074
And yours is lovely.

-[laughs]

234
00:11:05,416 --> 00:11:07,126
-Would you like a schmoothie?
-No, thank you.

235
00:11:07,209 --> 00:11:09,128
[David] Have you been
to the farmers' market here?

236
00:11:09,712 --> 00:11:10,713
No.

237
00:11:10,796 --> 00:11:13,799
[David] Ah. I used to think
this town was devoid of culture,

238
00:11:13,882 --> 00:11:15,884
but I stand corrected.

239
00:11:15,968 --> 00:11:17,678
I mean, look… look at that carrot.

240
00:11:18,721 --> 00:11:20,764
Anyway, pretend I'm not here.

Hi.

247
00:11:39,616 --> 00:11:40,451
Hi.

248
00:11:41,034 --> 00:11:43,454
[in Korean] It's like
a Frankenstein family.

249
00:11:44,121 --> 00:11:46,206
Why didn't she adopt a baby
from South Korea?

250
00:11:46,290 --> 00:11:47,458
[in English] Hi.

251
00:11:47,541 --> 00:11:52,421
[woman 2 speaking Korean] You can only
adopt from South Korea if you're married.

252
00:11:53,130 --> 00:11:55,215
She was closed out
from international adoption

253
00:11:55,299 --> 00:11:57,676
because she's single.

254
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,680
Please, Madonna's single
and she was able to adopt.

255
00:12:02,848 --> 00:12:04,808

-Okay? Like this.

269
00:12:51,897 --> 00:12:52,731
Okay.

Why not?

279
00:13:12,835 --> 00:13:14,878
Because that's an insane request.

280
00:13:14,962 --> 00:13:16,880
This is over 30 years old.

281
00:13:16,964 --> 00:13:19,633
-A lot has happened in the last 30 years.
-Like what?

282
00:13:21,927 --> 00:13:24,137
Like affect theory, ecocriticism,

283
00:13:24,221 --> 00:13:27,224
digital humanities,
new materialism, book history,

284
00:13:27,307 --> 00:13:29,518
developments in gender studies
and critical race theory.

285
00:13:29,601 --> 00:13:32,020
When's the last time
you picked up an academic journal?

286
00:13:32,104 --> 00:13:34,565
I… I've been on tour with my band.

287
00:13:34,648 --> 00:13:36,191
-So…
-Hmm. It shows.

288
00:13:36,942 --> 00:13:38,110
And you know what else?

289
00:13:38,193 --> 00:13:40,696
The fact that you're using
this honor from Pembroke

290
00:13:40,779 --> 00:13:44,199
to dust off your dissertation
and go back and get your PhD,

291
00:13:44,283 --> 00:13:46,034
it's… it's self-serving.

292
00:13:46,118 --> 00:13:48,954
Whoa. Is… Is this hostility
because Pembroke

293
00:13:49,037 --> 00:13:51,874
is like this lower-tier Ivy,
and I went to Princeton?

294
00:13:51,957 --> 00:13:53,041
-No. Okay--
-And Yale?

295
00:13:53,125 --> 00:13:55,377
No. no. My God, no. This is hostility

296
00:13:55,460 --> 00:13:57,504
because I promised
this Distinguished Lectureship

297
00:13:57,588 --> 00:13:59,381
to someone who deserves it.

298
00:13:59,464 --> 00:14:01,967
The purpose of the talk is to present
cutting-edge scholarship,

299
00:14:02,050 --> 00:14:05,262
and this reads like it's out of
the mid-'80s. I mean, like, the--

300
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:07,848
The discipline has moved forward,

301
00:14:07,931 --> 00:14:10,225
and you're still stuck
back in a different era.

No, it's been so long since they broke up.

off the street.

316
00:14:55,729 --> 00:14:59,816

00:16:49,843 --> 00:16:52,804
Well, you can borrow one.
Here, borrow this one.

351
00:16:52,888 --> 00:16:56,141
Um, whose… Who… Who wore that?

352
00:16:56,224 --> 00:16:58,268
Oh, it's mine. It's a speedsuit.

353
00:16:58,351 --> 00:17:02,105
I wear it when I wanna swim for time.
Skin's a drag, you know, 'cause of hair.

354
00:17:02,189 --> 00:17:04,399
You can't only teach Beckett
for the rest of the semester.

355
00:17:04,483 --> 00:17:06,985
Why not?
You got Murphy, Molloy, Malone Dies--

356
00:17:07,069 --> 00:17:10,655
-The students bought the other books.
-So I'll reimburse them.

357
00:17:10,739 --> 00:17:14,409
I'm a grossly overpaid
actor/musician/novelist,

358
00:17:14,493 --> 00:17:17,454
and they're students
burdened with student debt.

359
00:17:17,537 --> 00:17:20,749
-I will unburden them.
-No, the syllabus is a contract with them.

360
00:17:20,832 --> 00:17:23,043
-You can't change the reading--
-Let's go for a swim.

361
00:17:23,126 --> 00:17:26,963
Okay, you know what? Teaching is not
a pastime, it's a profession.

362
00:17:27,047 --> 00:17:29,591
If you really wanna make
a contribution to the field,

363
00:17:29,674 --> 00:17:31,843
tell them you've changed your mind.

364
00:17:31,927 --> 00:17:34,679
And give them a check
to endow a chair in your name,

365
00:17:34,763 --> 00:17:36,473
and I'll get you an honorary doctorate.

366
00:17:36,556 --> 00:17:39,226
The David Duchovny Chair
in English Studies?

367
00:17:39,309 --> 00:17:42,979
The Dr. David Duchovny Chair
in English Studies.

368
00:17:45,315 --> 00:17:47,317
[indistinct chatter]

369
00:17:52,823 --> 00:17:53,740
What's this?

370
00:17:54,282 --> 00:17:55,325
The main event.

371
00:17:55,909 --> 00:17:57,119
Doljabi ceremony.

372
00:17:57,619 --> 00:17:59,371
Minji picks her future.

373
00:17:59,454 --> 00:18:00,288
She's only one.

374
00:18:00,372 --> 00:18:02,124
Oh, she… she's very smart.

375
00:18:02,207 --> 00:18:04,209
She can make a clear decision now.

376
00:18:05,127 --> 00:18:06,086
What's all this?

377
00:18:06,169 --> 00:18:10,590
[Ju Ju] A stethoscope for a doctor,
a pencil for a teacher,

378
00:18:10,674 --> 00:18:12,425
paintbrush for an artist,

379
00:18:12,509 --> 00:18:13,802
money for being rich,

380
00:18:13,885 --> 00:18:17,222
a tennis ball for an athlete,
and a white string for long life.

381
00:18:17,305 --> 00:18:20,642
I would pick the string
so I could live a long, long, long time.

382
00:18:20,725 --> 00:18:21,726
What about you?

383
00:18:24,688 --> 00:18:25,897
I can only pick one?

384
00:18:25,981 --> 00:18:26,982
Uh-huh.

385
00:18:27,065 --> 00:18:29,067
[people shouting excitedly]

386
00:18:32,571 --> 00:18:33,780
[Habi] You're beautiful.

387
00:18:33,864 --> 00:18:35,824
[all cheering, applauding]

388
00:18:36,575 --> 00:18:38,160
[Ju Ju] Go, go, go!

389
00:18:38,910 --> 00:18:40,370
Go!

390
00:18:40,453 --> 00:18:43,081
-Beautiful.
-Go! Go, cutie!

391
00:18:45,792 --> 00:18:47,878
-[Habi] Let's go, Minji.
-[man] Best of luck!

392
00:18:48,378 --> 00:18:50,380
[excited chatter]

393
00:18:51,214 --> 00:18:53,800
[all cheering]

394
00:18:56,469 --> 00:18:57,679
[laughing]

395
00:18:57,762 --> 00:19:00,473
Minji, get the string!
The string! The string!

396
00:19:02,517 --> 00:19:04,603
-[Habi] Let's go, Minji.
-[man 1] That's the one!

397
00:19:05,187 --> 00:19:07,105
-[people laughing]
-So close.

398
00:19:10,692 --> 00:19:13,862
-[man 2] Let's go, Minji.
-[people] Oh!

399
00:19:16,323 --> 00:19:17,240
[Habi] Oh!

400
00:19:17,866 --> 00:19:19,034
-[cheering]
-You can't do that.

401
00:19:19,117 --> 00:19:20,285
[Habi] Get the money.

402
00:19:22,662 --> 00:19:26,166
This isn't authentic. She's clearly
tampering with the process right now.

403
00:19:26,249 --> 00:19:27,584
Let her make her own choice.

404
00:19:28,168 --> 00:19:30,378
-[all cheering]
-Great. Great.

405
00:19:30,462 --> 00:19:31,671
[all cheering]

406
00:19:33,381 --> 00:19:35,508
That lady right there, she rigged it.

407
00:19:37,010 --> 00:19:39,679
This lady rigg-- She rigged the process.

408
00:19:39,763 --> 00:19:41,640
She… She wanted the paintbrush. Here.

409
00:19:41,723 --> 00:19:43,808
Hey, hey, mama. You can have this.

410
00:19:43,892 --> 00:19:45,227
-Don't listen to them.
-[man] Hey.

411
00:19:45,310 --> 00:19:46,811
-Hey.
-Hold on, hold on.

412
00:19:46,895 --> 00:19:48,396
She wanted the paintbrush. Oh!

413
00:19:49,105 --> 00:19:50,190
[woman] Oh!

414
00:19:51,691 --> 00:19:53,151
-[people] Oh!
-[grunts]

415
00:19:53,985 --> 00:19:55,278
[somber music playing]

416
00:19:59,658 --> 00:20:02,369
[Joan] This is one of the few professions

417
00:20:02,452 --> 00:20:05,622
where you get more respect
as you get older.

418
00:20:05,705 --> 00:20:08,208
I mean, one of the reasons
I went into this

419
00:20:08,291 --> 00:20:10,335
was that you don't age out.

420
00:20:11,419 --> 00:20:13,546
I… I never thought I'd retire.

421
00:20:14,631 --> 00:20:17,384
As long as you're not… out of it.

422
00:20:18,176 --> 00:20:19,886
-Sixty-one.
-Oh, Jesus.

423
00:20:19,970 --> 00:20:22,180
-That's low.
-You got your glucose tablets?

424
00:20:22,264 --> 00:20:24,140
-Where are they?
-[Joan] Hang on. [sighs]

425
00:20:24,224 --> 00:20:26,309
-You get older…
-[Rentz] I don't see them.

426
00:20:26,393 --> 00:20:28,853
…you accumulate more wisdom,

427
00:20:28,937 --> 00:20:30,647
you garner more respect.

428
00:20:30,730 --> 00:20:31,940
I, um…

429
00:20:32,565 --> 00:20:33,692
I've been, uh…

430
00:20:33,775 --> 00:20:37,445
I've been here for what, 32 years,
was chair for six of those,

431
00:20:37,529 --> 00:20:39,364
and nothing like this ever happened.

432
00:20:39,447 --> 00:20:42,617
A lifetime of doing this,
and I get nothing.

433
00:20:43,159 --> 00:20:45,662
Well, she wanted me to doctor
my tenure letter for Yaz

434
00:20:45,745 --> 00:20:47,247
in exchange for co-teacher.

435
00:20:47,330 --> 00:20:48,665
I get put on a list.

436
00:20:49,374 --> 00:20:52,210
What about Bob? I mean, what about Bill?
What about Bill?

437
00:20:52,294 --> 00:20:54,004
[chuckling] I can't take you seriously

438
00:20:54,087 --> 00:20:56,881
when you look like you just stuck
your head in a beehive. Here.

439
00:20:57,465 --> 00:20:58,800
Bill's not on this list.

440
00:20:58,883 --> 00:21:01,594
No, Bill, everybody knows
she's in love with him.

441
00:21:02,220 --> 00:21:04,472
Now, if one of us had stepped out of line,

442
00:21:04,556 --> 00:21:06,725
she would not be
going to the mat like this.

443
00:21:06,808 --> 00:21:08,601
Mmm. Well, we elected her.

444
00:21:08,685 --> 00:21:11,354
Her job is to represent our interests.

445
00:21:11,438 --> 00:21:14,357
-She's only protected his.
-We gotta do something.

446
00:21:15,066 --> 00:21:16,109
Like what?

447
00:21:18,695 --> 00:21:20,363
[scoffs] You wanna stage a coup?

448
00:21:24,701 --> 00:21:29,372
♪ Done some good and done some bad like ♪

449
00:21:30,290 --> 00:21:32,292
♪ Any man I bet ♪

450
00:21:34,294 --> 00:21:37,922
♪ A man of words is a man of lies ♪

451
00:21:38,006 --> 00:21:41,468
♪ But words is all I get ♪

452
00:21:41,551 --> 00:21:45,055
I've got great news. David Duchovny's
not giving the Distinguished Lectureship,

453
00:21:45,138 --> 00:21:46,097
you are.

454
00:21:47,140 --> 00:21:48,058
[sighs]

455
00:21:48,808 --> 00:21:49,642
What's wrong?

456
00:21:50,435 --> 00:21:52,354
I already agreed
to give it somewhere else.

457
00:21:52,437 --> 00:21:53,563
Where?

458
00:21:54,481 --> 00:21:56,858
-Yale.
-Holy shit, that's great.

459
00:21:56,941 --> 00:21:58,401
It's also a job talk.

460
00:21:58,485 --> 00:22:00,779
They've invited me
to apply for a position.

461
00:22:01,696 --> 00:22:02,864
Why didn't you tell me?

462
00:22:03,615 --> 00:22:04,824
[breathes deeply]

463
00:22:04,908 --> 00:22:09,579
Look, I know it's been a mess around here.

464
00:22:09,662 --> 00:22:11,873
I… I mean, I've been a mess. [inhales]

465
00:22:12,832 --> 00:22:15,043
You act like you owe them something.

466
00:22:16,628 --> 00:22:19,422
Like you're here
because they let you be here,

467
00:22:19,506 --> 00:22:21,174
not because you deserve it.

468
00:22:21,257 --> 00:22:24,511
I mean, what are they
without us at this point?

469
00:22:24,594 --> 00:22:28,098
-A name and a pile of bricks.
-A shit ton of money.

470
00:22:28,181 --> 00:22:30,809
Seeded by benefactors
who got rich off of sugar

471
00:22:30,892 --> 00:22:32,185
and cotton and railroads.

472
00:22:32,268 --> 00:22:34,646
Off the backs of Black people
and yellow people.

473
00:22:35,188 --> 00:22:37,315
-And, yes, that includes Yale.
-Yale's different?

474
00:22:38,441 --> 00:22:40,318
You should be running this place.

475
00:22:41,444 --> 00:22:43,822
Instead,
you're running around playing nice.

476
00:22:46,032 --> 00:22:48,785
You think that's how I got here?
By playing nice?

477
00:22:48,868 --> 00:22:50,620
Is that how you think I fucking got here?

478
00:22:52,914 --> 00:22:53,915
No.

479
00:22:55,542 --> 00:23:00,130
You are gonna be the first tenured
Black woman in the department.

480
00:23:00,213 --> 00:23:01,131
[scoffs]

481
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,091
That's why I'm leaving.

482
00:23:08,471 --> 00:23:09,305
[sighs]

483
00:23:09,389 --> 00:23:12,809
Pembroke said and did
all the right things to keep me here.

484
00:23:12,892 --> 00:23:15,270
But you know the real reason I stayed?

485
00:23:16,646 --> 00:23:17,856
It was because of Joan,

486
00:23:18,690 --> 00:23:19,691
and Bill,

487
00:23:21,443 --> 00:23:23,736
and this dazzling new hire named Yaz.

488
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,283
Fucking Yale.

489
00:23:28,825 --> 00:23:29,826
[chuckles]

490
00:23:34,789 --> 00:23:36,416
You know what New Haven's ranking is

491
00:23:36,499 --> 00:23:38,960
on WalletHub's list
of best college towns in America?

492
00:23:40,128 --> 00:23:41,546
A hundred and ninety-eight.

493
00:23:41,629 --> 00:23:45,258
A couple notches below
Fargo, North Dakota.

494
00:23:46,384 --> 00:23:47,469
What are we?

495
00:23:48,052 --> 00:23:49,804
I don't know. I'll have to ask my dad.

496
00:23:49,888 --> 00:23:50,889
[chuckles softly]

497
00:23:54,184 --> 00:23:55,185
What are they offering?

498
00:23:55,268 --> 00:23:56,519
[inhales deeply]

499
00:23:56,603 --> 00:24:00,482
Expedited tenure
and an endowed professorship.

500
00:24:02,192 --> 00:24:03,735
And a shit ton of money.

501
00:24:03,818 --> 00:24:04,986
We can beat that.

502
00:24:05,069 --> 00:24:06,154
[inhales deeply]

503
00:24:07,989 --> 00:24:08,948
I think.

504
00:24:09,741 --> 00:24:12,785
I'm getting a little bit full,
but I love… It's wonderful.

505
00:24:14,037 --> 00:24:16,873
Uh, Mr. Kim, thank… thank you all
for helping clean up.

506
00:24:16,956 --> 00:24:20,668
You didn't have to do that.
But it's nice to see my table.

507
00:24:22,587 --> 00:24:24,255
[Ju Ju] Bill, I'm ready.

508
00:24:24,339 --> 00:24:25,798
I need the pizza.

509
00:24:27,133 --> 00:24:30,220
Excuse me a second. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.

510
00:24:30,303 --> 00:24:31,971
[sniffles] Excuse me.

511
00:24:32,055 --> 00:24:34,224
[Ju Ju] I need all her favorite things.

512
00:24:35,517 --> 00:24:38,603
[in Korean] How can a grown man
live like this?

513
00:24:38,686 --> 00:24:40,480
-He's a widower.
-Ah.

514
00:24:40,563 --> 00:24:42,565
I'm a widower, and my house is clean.

515
00:24:42,649 --> 00:24:44,442
How long ago did he lose his wife?

516
00:24:44,526 --> 00:24:46,277
It's been about a year.

517
00:24:46,903 --> 00:24:48,321
He works together with Ji-Yoon?

518
00:24:48,404 --> 00:24:52,659
Yes. English professor.
And he wrote a book, maybe two?

519
00:24:55,578 --> 00:24:58,039
[in English] I'm so sorry
about this afternoon.

520
00:24:58,122 --> 00:25:00,458
-Thank you.
-I hope I didn't mess it up.

521
00:25:01,042 --> 00:25:02,544
Okay. Okay.

522
00:25:04,587 --> 00:25:07,507
I couldn't find any pizza,
but I have pizza rolls.

523
00:25:09,467 --> 00:25:11,302
Okay, what do we do?

524
00:25:11,386 --> 00:25:13,930

00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,396
What about Ji-Yoon?

528
00:25:21,479 --> 00:25:25,692
He has a good job.
Not bad-looking if he'd only shave.

529
00:25:25,775 --> 00:25:27,777
And he's good with kids.

530
00:25:29,362 --> 00:25:32,824
They say he's a drug addict and he drinks.

531
00:25:33,366 --> 00:25:37,745
You want Ji-Yoon to bring
a drug addict alcoholic into her life?

532
00:25:37,829 --> 00:25:40,707
-She's turning 50 soon.

She's gonna find you.

00:26:02,228 --> 00:26:03,271
Bye.

538
00:26:05,106 --> 00:26:07,066
Wait. I have a question.

539
00:26:08,026 --> 00:26:10,528
-Not for you, you goof, for your grandpa.
-[Ju Ju] Habi?

540
00:26:10,612 --> 00:26:13,781
Um, what did Ji-Yoon pick
for her Dol ceremony?

541
00:26:13,865 --> 00:26:14,699
Do you remember?

542
00:26:15,742 --> 00:26:17,243
Yeah, she picked a pencil.

543
00:26:17,327 --> 00:26:18,328
