Divorce takes way longer,

178
00:09:06,981 --> 00:09:08,721
and I don't think
anyone's filing.

179
00:09:08,722 --> 00:09:10,766
Why bother? Six months
of paperwork at least.

180
00:09:10,767 --> 00:09:11,941
Probably more.

181
00:09:11,942 --> 00:09:13,029
Marriage license
is one page

182
00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:14,249
and it takes an hour or so.

183
00:09:15,467 --> 00:09:17,513
I'm gonna guess marriages.

184
00:09:18,688 --> 00:09:20,297
man [on TV]: Missed you for
lunch, missed you for dinner.

185
00:09:20,298 --> 00:09:21,951
What's the matter?
Don't you eat anymore?

186
00:09:21,952 --> 00:09:23,692
woman [on TV]: Well,
I wasn't hungry tonight.

187
00:09:23,693 --> 00:09:25,259
man: Weren't you hungry
this morning either?

188
00:09:25,260 --> 00:09:26,826
- woman: Who stole my nylons?
- [phone ringing]

189
00:09:26,827 --> 00:09:30,264
Egads! The very...
Not very.

190
00:09:30,265 --> 00:09:32,527
man: Too much rehearsal
last night, huh?

191
00:09:32,528 --> 00:09:33,963
woman:
It was kind of a workout.

192
00:09:33,964 --> 00:09:35,269
man:
That why you slept late?

193
00:09:35,270 --> 00:09:36,575
woman:
Oh, I didn't sleep late.

194
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:38,011
- I went uptown.
- [phone ringing]

195
00:09:38,012 --> 00:09:39,666
- man: Shopping?
- woman: No.

196
00:09:42,712 --> 00:09:43,626
Hey.

197
00:09:45,672 --> 00:09:46,673
Felicia Gordon [on phone]:
Hi.

198
00:09:49,327 --> 00:09:50,850
You hung up?

199
00:09:50,851 --> 00:09:52,200
Felicia:
Yeah.

200
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,681
But then I figured
you probably saw it. So...

201
00:09:57,031 --> 00:09:58,032
How are you?

202
00:09:58,772 --> 00:10:00,686
Marty Anderson [on phone]:
I'm okay, I guess.

203
00:10:00,687 --> 00:10:01,775
How are you?

204
00:10:02,514 --> 00:10:04,778
I was, um,
thinking about you today.

205
00:10:05,866 --> 00:10:07,910
We were at work talking
about marriages and divorces.

206
00:10:07,911 --> 00:10:09,477
Like, which are happening
more now--

207
00:10:09,478 --> 00:10:10,522
Marriages, I bet.

208
00:10:11,654 --> 00:10:13,221
Ain't nobody waiting
on a divorce.

209
00:10:14,265 --> 00:10:15,527
Felicia:
What about remarriages?

210
00:10:17,878 --> 00:10:19,443
You want to buy
a guy a drink first or...

211
00:10:19,444 --> 00:10:20,793
Felicia:
I bet those are happening.

212
00:10:20,794 --> 00:10:21,925
I mean, it makes sense.

213
00:10:22,709 --> 00:10:25,494
People wanting something
comforting and...

214
00:10:26,364 --> 00:10:27,670
familiar.

215
00:10:28,976 --> 00:10:31,282
So... how was your day?

216
00:10:32,283 --> 00:10:34,111
You're just going right
for it, aren't you?

217
00:10:34,764 --> 00:10:35,809
Humor me.

218
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,462
Marty: It was, um...

219
00:10:38,072 --> 00:10:42,075
It was a day, I guess.
[clears throat]

220
00:10:42,076 --> 00:10:44,687
You know? Weird.

221
00:10:45,209 --> 00:10:46,470
Parent-teacher sessions,

222
00:10:46,471 --> 00:10:48,909
felt like pissing
in the wind.

223
00:10:49,561 --> 00:10:51,040
You know about
California, right?

224
00:10:51,041 --> 00:10:52,868
Marty: Yeah.

225
00:10:52,869 --> 00:10:54,478
I know they're saying most
of it was already evacuated,

226
00:10:54,479 --> 00:10:56,480
but I heard today
there are hundreds of thousands

227
00:10:56,481 --> 00:10:57,960
of refugees trekking east.

228
00:10:57,961 --> 00:10:59,266
Did you know Nevada
is one of the most

229
00:10:59,267 --> 00:11:00,746
populous states
in the Union now?

230
00:11:00,747 --> 00:11:02,791
I heard a, a scientist
on NPR say

231
00:11:02,792 --> 00:11:05,099
California is peeling away
like old wallpaper.

232
00:11:05,708 --> 00:11:08,493
And another Japanese reactor
got inundated this afternoon.

233
00:11:08,929 --> 00:11:11,234
And they're saying, you know,
it was shut down and all's well,

234
00:11:11,235 --> 00:11:13,236
but I just, I, I don't
think I believe that.

235
00:11:13,237 --> 00:11:15,456
Marty: Cynic.

236
00:11:15,457 --> 00:11:17,240
Well, we're living
in cynical times, Marty.

237
00:11:17,241 --> 00:11:20,505
I mean, some people think
we're living in the last times.

238
00:11:21,028 --> 00:11:23,203
Not just the religious
crazies either.
Not anymore.

239
00:11:23,204 --> 00:11:25,901
And you are hearing
that from a member
in good standing

240
00:11:25,902 --> 00:11:28,383
of the City General
Suicide Squad.

241
00:11:29,297 --> 00:11:30,601
That's what we
call ourselves now.

242
00:11:30,602 --> 00:11:32,039
No lie.

243
00:11:32,343 --> 00:11:35,171
We lost six today,
but there's 18 more

244
00:11:35,172 --> 00:11:36,912
we dragged back,
mostly with naloxone.

245
00:11:36,913 --> 00:11:38,522
But supplies of that
are getting very thin.

246
00:11:38,523 --> 00:11:40,481
And I heard
the head pharmacist say

247
00:11:40,482 --> 00:11:43,006
we might be completely out
by the end of the month.

248
00:11:43,877 --> 00:11:45,355
That sucks.

249
00:11:45,356 --> 00:11:47,097
Felicia:
Yeah. Yeah.[laughs]

250
00:11:47,968 --> 00:11:49,752
Yeah, that sucks.
It, it really sucks.

251
00:11:52,233 --> 00:11:54,190
The internet's down,
and California's hanging

252
00:11:54,191 --> 00:11:55,496
by a thread.

253
00:11:55,497 --> 00:11:57,541
There's fires and famines

254
00:11:57,542 --> 00:11:58,673
and plagues
and all the rest.

255
00:11:58,674 --> 00:12:00,022
I mean, it just

256
00:12:00,023 --> 00:12:01,285
the center doesn't hold.

257
00:12:03,157 --> 00:12:04,680
It just won't let up.

258
00:12:08,205 --> 00:12:09,946
How long is this
gonna go on?

259
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:13,341
How much can we take
before the whole thing...

260
00:12:14,690 --> 00:12:16,474
before the whole thing
goes apart, I mean.

261
00:12:19,303 --> 00:12:20,435
[sighs]

262
00:12:21,828 --> 00:12:24,482
I'm teaching the kids
Carl Sagan right now.

263
00:12:26,658 --> 00:12:28,835
You ever hear what he said
about the cosmic calendar?

264
00:12:29,749 --> 00:12:32,795
Uh... I don't know.
I don't think so.

265
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:36,363
Well, the universe
is 15 billion years old.

266
00:12:36,364 --> 00:12:37,973
And if you took all of that,

267
00:12:37,974 --> 00:12:41,324
all, all 15 billion years

268
00:12:41,325 --> 00:12:45,415
and compress them into
a single calendar year,

269
00:12:45,416 --> 00:12:49,071
then the Big Bang happens in
the first second, January 1st.

270
00:12:49,072 --> 00:12:50,900
And, and today,

271
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,990
oh, right now, we're in
the final millisecond

272
00:12:54,991 --> 00:12:56,732
of the last minute
of the last day,

273
00:12:57,341 --> 00:12:58,820
December 31st.

274
00:12:58,821 --> 00:13:00,779
But if you go back
to the start,

275
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:03,303
if the,
if the Big Bang happens

276
00:13:03,304 --> 00:13:05,088
at midnight, January 1st,

277
00:13:06,133 --> 00:13:08,003
then each month
of this calendar

278
00:13:08,004 --> 00:13:10,223
is one and a quarter
billion years long.

279
00:13:10,224 --> 00:13:12,529
Hey, nobody told me
there was math on this exam.

280
00:13:12,530 --> 00:13:15,228
Marty:
The universe starts
January 1st,

281
00:13:15,229 --> 00:13:18,100
but the, uh,
the Milky Way didn't form

282
00:13:18,101 --> 00:13:19,581
until May.

283
00:13:19,929 --> 00:13:21,538
Our sun and our earth,

284
00:13:21,539 --> 00:13:25,108
they don't show up
until mid-September.

285
00:13:25,456 --> 00:13:27,676
Life appears soon after.
But not us.

286
00:13:28,459 --> 00:13:31,592
No. No, no, we don't appear
for guess how long?

287
00:13:31,593 --> 00:13:33,812
Again, I was told
there'd be no math.

288
00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:35,031
Marty:
December 31st.

289
00:13:36,119 --> 00:13:37,772
Last day on the calendar,

290
00:13:37,773 --> 00:13:39,774
and the very first
human beings on Earth

291
00:13:39,775 --> 00:13:40,994
made their debut

292
00:13:41,733 --> 00:13:43,213
around 10:30 p.m.

293
00:13:44,345 --> 00:13:47,348
10:30 p.m. on the last day.

294
00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:50,524
And, um, every minute
since then

295
00:13:50,525 --> 00:13:52,221
is 30,000 years.

296
00:13:52,222 --> 00:13:56,226
So, 11:46 p.m.,

297
00:13:56,923 --> 00:14:00,752
only 14 minutes ago,
humanity tamed fire

298
00:14:01,884 --> 00:14:04,234
and now we're out of minutes,
we're into seconds.

299
00:14:05,932 --> 00:14:07,846
11:59 and 20 seconds,

300
00:14:07,847 --> 00:14:11,676
the domestication
of plants and animals begin,

301
00:14:12,155 --> 00:14:14,941
an application for the
human talent for making tools.

302
00:14:15,942 --> 00:14:18,335
11:59 and 35 seconds,

303
00:14:19,293 --> 00:14:21,294
agricultural communities

304
00:14:21,295 --> 00:14:23,297
evolved into
the first cities.

305
00:14:25,081 --> 00:14:26,343
Our recorded history,

306
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,259
everyone we've ever heard of,

307
00:14:29,781 --> 00:14:33,002
every single thing in any one
of our history books...

308
00:14:35,091 --> 00:14:36,832
happens in the last 10 seconds.

309
00:14:39,487 --> 00:14:41,054
The last 10 seconds

310
00:14:41,968 --> 00:14:43,230
of the last minute

311
00:14:43,970 --> 00:14:45,885
of the last day
on the calendar.

312
00:14:47,408 --> 00:14:48,888
December 31st.

313
00:14:53,849 --> 00:14:55,416
So how long is it
gonna go on?

314
00:14:56,547 --> 00:14:57,897
I don't know, Fel.

315
00:14:59,289 --> 00:15:01,203
If you're right,
and you might be,

316
00:15:01,204 --> 00:15:04,206
that this really is
the, the last times

317
00:15:04,207 --> 00:15:06,383
and the universe is dying,

318
00:15:07,036 --> 00:15:08,689
and let's just say
it's a fast death,

319
00:15:08,690 --> 00:15:10,517
even if all of this
is happening in the,

320
00:15:10,518 --> 00:15:13,216
the last split second,

321
00:15:14,043 --> 00:15:15,349
microsecond,

322
00:15:16,002 --> 00:15:17,568
who knows how long
that'll last.

323
00:15:18,178 --> 00:15:21,137
Maybe seconds,
maybe eons.

324
00:15:21,442 --> 00:15:24,270
Maybe all this is happening
as the cosmos burps out

325
00:15:24,271 --> 00:15:25,533
its last breath.

326
00:15:27,883 --> 00:15:29,711
Maybe it's all happening
in the last

327
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,193
single solitary heartbeat.

328
00:15:38,111 --> 00:15:39,547
Jesus, Marty.

329
00:15:42,158 --> 00:15:43,246
Yeah.

330
00:15:44,291 --> 00:15:45,814
[sighs]

331
00:15:49,731 --> 00:15:51,559
Listen, Fel, I should go.
I've, um...

332
00:15:53,865 --> 00:15:55,911
I've got tests to grade.

333
00:15:57,652 --> 00:15:58,566
Felicia: Marty...

334
00:16:00,611 --> 00:16:01,960
the world is going
down the drain,

335
00:16:01,961 --> 00:16:03,657
and all we can say
is, "That sucks."

336
00:16:03,658 --> 00:16:06,661
So, maybe we're going
down the drain too.

337
00:16:07,618 --> 00:16:09,098
Marty: Maybe.

338
00:16:09,446 --> 00:16:11,752
But, you know,
Chuck Krantz is retiring.

339
00:16:11,753 --> 00:16:13,493
- So...
- [Felicia laughing]

340
00:16:13,494 --> 00:16:16,148
...I guess there's a gleam
of light in the darkness.

341
00:16:16,149 --> 00:16:17,845
Yes.
Thirty-nine great years.

342
00:16:17,846 --> 00:16:19,455
Marty: Oh, you saw
that weird billboard?

343
00:16:19,456 --> 00:16:21,457
No, it was an ad
on the radio that, um,

344
00:16:21,458 --> 00:16:23,372
[clears throat] that NPR show
I was telling you about.

345
00:16:23,373 --> 00:16:24,939
Marty: If they're
running ads on NPR,

346
00:16:24,940 --> 00:16:25,766
it really is
the end of the world.

347
00:16:25,767 --> 00:16:27,072
[Felicia laughs]

348
00:16:27,073 --> 00:16:28,769
Tell me,
how does Chuck Krantz

349
00:16:28,770 --> 00:16:30,640
rate this kind of coverage?

350
00:16:30,641 --> 00:16:33,165
I mean... looks
like an accountant.

351
00:16:33,166 --> 00:16:34,297
I've never heard of him.

352
00:16:35,385 --> 00:16:37,212
Used an old photo too,
I guess.

353
00:16:37,213 --> 00:16:39,084
I mean, the guy
barely looks 40 at all,

354
00:16:39,085 --> 00:16:41,434
let alone 40 years
on the job.

355
00:16:41,435 --> 00:16:43,089
The world is full
of mysteries.

356
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:47,702
And, hey,
no hard stuff, Marty.

357
00:16:48,050 --> 00:16:49,617
Okay? Have a beer instead.

358
00:16:52,011 --> 00:16:53,186
You got it.

359
00:16:57,146 --> 00:16:59,060
newsreader [on TV]:
The Ohio EPA has now issued

360
00:16:59,061 --> 00:17:00,801
a code red
air quality alert

361
00:17:00,802 --> 00:17:02,455
for Cleveland
and its surrounding--

362
00:17:02,456 --> 00:17:04,588
- [switch clicks]
- [upbeat music playing on TV]

363
00:17:13,380 --> 00:17:15,904
[continuous beep]

364
00:17:22,171 --> 00:17:25,914
[beeping]

365
00:17:27,524 --> 00:17:30,657
Oh, shit on a stick.

366
00:17:30,658 --> 00:17:34,053
[upbeat jingle playing]

367
00:17:35,271 --> 00:17:36,750
announcer [on TV]:
We'd like to say thank you

368
00:17:36,751 --> 00:17:38,143
to Charles Krantz

369
00:17:38,144 --> 00:17:41,233
for 39 great years.

370
00:17:41,234 --> 00:17:42,800
Thanks, Chuck.

371
00:17:47,196 --> 00:17:48,197
[jingle stops]

372
00:17:48,893 --> 00:17:50,459
[crackling]

373
00:17:50,460 --> 00:17:52,723
[continuous beep]

374
00:17:57,728 --> 00:17:59,730
[birds chirping]

375
00:18:04,474 --> 00:18:05,780
- [keys jingle]
- [groans]

376
00:18:10,437 --> 00:18:11,351
Marty: Gus!

377
00:18:12,613 --> 00:18:14,658
Oh. Hey, Marty.

378
00:18:15,311 --> 00:18:16,530
Where's your car?

379
00:18:17,139 --> 00:18:18,792
[Gus chuckles]
It's... it's on,

380
00:18:18,793 --> 00:18:20,228
it's on the sidewalk
halfway down

381
00:18:20,229 --> 00:18:22,317
Main Street Hill
with a hundred others.

382
00:18:22,318 --> 00:18:23,884
I finally just had
to turn around.

383
00:18:23,885 --> 00:18:25,712
Fuck it, I walked...

384
00:18:25,713 --> 00:18:27,235
What do you think it is,
like, three miles?

385
00:18:27,236 --> 00:18:28,759
I just walked three miles.

386
00:18:29,195 --> 00:18:31,413
Oh, you're going to school.
Hold on a sec.

387
00:18:31,414 --> 00:18:35,243
Uh, real quick,
you gotta, you gotta go,

388
00:18:35,244 --> 00:18:37,245
listen to me,
you gotta go out Route 11

389
00:18:37,246 --> 00:18:39,595
and then hook back
on, on, on 19.

390
00:18:39,596 --> 00:18:41,858
Yeah. There's gonna be
plenty of traffic.

391
00:18:41,859 --> 00:18:43,338
You gotta go out
at least 20 miles.

392
00:18:43,339 --> 00:18:44,818
You might make it
before lunch.

393
00:18:44,819 --> 00:18:47,255
- I wouldn't count on it.
- What happened?

394
00:18:47,256 --> 00:18:49,475
Giant sinkhole opened up
on Market and Main.

395
00:18:49,476 --> 00:18:51,564
Man, the-the thing,
it, uh, it's huge.

396
00:18:51,565 --> 00:18:53,827
All the rain probably had
something to do with it,

397
00:18:53,828 --> 00:18:55,611
lack of maintenance
maybe more so.

398
00:18:55,612 --> 00:18:57,918
But it's not my department,
thank God.

399
00:18:57,919 --> 00:18:59,573
But, yeah, there's,
there's gotta be

400
00:19:00,269 --> 00:19:01,965
- 20 cars at the bottom.
- [Marty scoffs]

401
00:19:01,966 --> 00:19:03,793
And some of the people
in some of those cars,

402
00:19:03,794 --> 00:19:05,360
they ain't comin' back.

403
00:19:05,361 --> 00:19:07,407
Jesus, I was, I was
just there last night,

404
00:19:08,234 --> 00:19:09,756
backed up in traffic.

405
00:19:09,757 --> 00:19:11,062
Thank God you weren't
there this morning.

406
00:19:12,542 --> 00:19:13,978
I assume you know
about California.

407
00:19:15,154 --> 00:19:16,850
I didn't turn on
the TV this morning.

408
00:19:16,851 --> 00:19:18,068
- Oh!
- Is there something new?

409
00:19:18,069 --> 00:19:19,680
The, the rest of it went.

410
00:19:21,029 --> 00:19:23,683
I-I mean, th-they're saying that
20% of Northern California

411
00:19:23,684 --> 00:19:26,338
is hanging in there,
which probably means,
what, 10%?

412
00:19:26,339 --> 00:19:28,993
But the food-producing regions
are-- they're gone.

413
00:19:30,517 --> 00:19:32,213
And with the Midwest
turning to charcoal

414
00:19:32,214 --> 00:19:33,910
and Florida flooding,
that's like

415
00:19:33,911 --> 00:19:35,696
all the food-producing regions

416
00:19:36,305 --> 00:19:38,393
in the country
just gone.

417
00:19:38,394 --> 00:19:39,786
And the same thing
with Europe.

418
00:19:39,787 --> 00:19:41,353
I mean, it's famine
time in Asia.

419
00:19:41,354 --> 00:19:42,789
There's a million people dead.

420
00:19:42,790 --> 00:19:44,443
They're saying
it's the bub-bublonic,

421
00:19:44,444 --> 00:19:45,618
- bubonic plague.
- Bubonic.

422
00:19:45,619 --> 00:19:47,576
Bu-Bubonic plague. Yeah.

423
00:19:47,577 --> 00:19:49,883
And the bees,
I mean, they were
in trouble a decade ago,

424
00:19:49,884 --> 00:19:51,363
but they're
completely gone now.

425
00:19:51,364 --> 00:19:52,581
I mean, there's a couple
of hives or whatever

426
00:19:52,582 --> 00:19:54,061
down in South America,

427
00:19:54,062 --> 00:19:55,976
but there ain't
no honey, honey.

428
00:19:55,977 --> 00:19:58,326
And without those little guys,
like, what's gonna pollinate

429
00:19:58,327 --> 00:19:59,762
all the crops we have left?

430
00:19:59,763 --> 00:20:00,807
I mean, I can't do--

431
00:20:00,808 --> 00:20:02,156
Excuse me.
One sec.

432
00:20:02,157 --> 00:20:03,462
Yeah, yeah.
That's-that's cool.

433
00:20:03,463 --> 00:20:05,333
A-Andrea? Are you,

434
00:20:05,334 --> 00:20:07,205
are you Andrea
from Midwest Trust?

435
00:20:07,206 --> 00:20:09,250
I'm Felicia Anderson's
husband.

436
00:20:09,251 --> 00:20:11,426
Ex, actually.

437
00:20:11,427 --> 00:20:12,949
I think you and Fel
know each other.

438
00:20:12,950 --> 00:20:14,734
We met at a, a, a game
night at David's.

439
00:20:14,735 --> 00:20:16,476
- A few game nights.
- Yeah, sure.

440
00:20:17,216 --> 00:20:18,478
What do you want?

441
00:20:18,826 --> 00:20:21,088
I just had a long walk,
and my car is stuck,

442
00:20:21,089 --> 00:20:22,482
and the bank is,

443
00:20:23,047 --> 00:20:24,048
it's leaning.

444
00:20:25,441 --> 00:20:26,442
Leaning?

445
00:20:27,008 --> 00:20:28,052
Yeah.

446
00:20:28,531 --> 00:20:29,924
It's on the edge
of the sinkhole.

447
00:20:31,447 --> 00:20:33,013
Guess that's
the end of my job.

448
00:20:33,014 --> 00:20:34,667
Marty: Hey, I'm curious
about the billboard

449
00:20:34,668 --> 00:20:36,190
on the bank building.

450
00:20:36,191 --> 00:20:37,496
- Have you seen it?
- How could I miss it?

451
00:20:37,497 --> 00:20:40,456
And I saw the ads too,
on TV.

452
00:20:40,891 --> 00:20:43,241
No more ads for cars
or discount furniture.

453
00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:45,460
Just, "Charles Krantz,

454
00:20:45,461 --> 00:20:47,984
39 great years.
Thanks, Chuck."

455
00:20:47,985 --> 00:20:49,551
Marty:
So, he doesn't
work at the bank?

456
00:20:49,552 --> 00:20:52,162
He's not retiring
from the bank?

457
00:20:52,163 --> 00:20:54,035
I don't know Charles Krantz.

458
00:20:55,123 --> 00:20:57,386
I think it's just a prank.
Performance art.

459
00:20:59,954 --> 00:21:00,955
Take care.

460
00:21:07,831 --> 00:21:09,311
Gus:
They look like refugees.

461
00:21:10,530 --> 00:21:11,531
Marty: Yeah.

462
00:21:13,924 --> 00:21:15,491
No one looks
that concerned.

463
00:21:16,405 --> 00:21:18,188
[groans] What good
would that do?

464
00:21:18,189 --> 00:21:19,974
All was concerned
at the start.

465
00:21:20,714 --> 00:21:22,541
Remember the protests?
You remember...

466
00:21:22,542 --> 00:21:24,412
they knocked over the fence
at the White House,

467
00:21:24,413 --> 00:21:26,327
and all those students
got shot?

468
00:21:26,328 --> 00:21:28,068
- Yeah.
- And the overthrow
of the Russian government.

469
00:21:28,069 --> 00:21:30,679
You got the Four Day War
between Pakistan and India

470
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:35,511
and the fucking...
the volcano in Germany.

471
00:21:35,990 --> 00:21:38,993
There was a volcano in Germany.
That's, that's crazy.

472
00:21:39,472 --> 00:21:41,995
And we just kept saying,
"Oh, it's gonna blow over."

473
00:21:41,996 --> 00:21:44,172
That doesn't look to be
happening, though, does it?

474
00:21:47,044 --> 00:21:48,480
No.

475
00:21:48,481 --> 00:21:50,744
I think that suicides
will slow down.

476
00:21:52,354 --> 00:21:56,402
I think people
will just... wait.

477
00:21:58,926 --> 00:22:00,319
For what?

478
00:22:01,102 --> 00:22:02,146
The end.

479
00:22:04,888 --> 00:22:06,281
This is the end
of everything.

480
00:22:08,196 --> 00:22:09,718
I mean, we're,
we're going through

481
00:22:09,719 --> 00:22:11,111
the five stages of grief.

482
00:22:11,112 --> 00:22:12,678
Don't you get it?
I mean, we just,

483
00:22:12,679 --> 00:22:14,855
we just landed
on the final stage.

484
00:22:15,464 --> 00:22:16,596
Acceptance.

485
00:22:18,598 --> 00:22:19,642
The waiting...

486
00:22:22,253 --> 00:22:23,690
I think that's
the hardest part.

487
00:22:25,822 --> 00:22:28,650
And the whole thing,
it just, it-it came out
of nowhere, right?

488
00:22:28,651 --> 00:22:31,305
I mean, everyone knew there was
trouble with the environment.

489
00:22:31,306 --> 00:22:33,394
I mean, I think even
the right-wing nutjobs

490
00:22:33,395 --> 00:22:34,830
were secretly,
they got it.

491
00:22:34,831 --> 00:22:36,224
But this...

492
00:22:37,834 --> 00:22:38,966
[voice breaking]
this...

493
00:22:39,532 --> 00:22:44,885
this is just 60 different
varieties of shit.

494
00:22:45,451 --> 00:22:48,454
It's just so much shit
that happened fast.

495
00:22:48,932 --> 00:22:51,370
It's like a year, man.
Fourteen months.

496
00:22:53,197 --> 00:22:54,808
[sighs] Sucks.

497
00:22:57,419 --> 00:22:58,377
[sniffles]

498
00:22:59,639 --> 00:23:02,423
Yeah. Sucks.
[laughs]

499
00:23:02,424 --> 00:23:05,600
[airplane droning]

500
00:23:05,601 --> 00:23:06,559
Huh.

501
00:23:07,168 --> 00:23:08,343
Skywriting.

502
00:23:11,607 --> 00:23:14,044
I haven't seen one of those
since I was a kid.

503
00:23:16,482 --> 00:23:17,613
Oh.

504
00:23:19,180 --> 00:23:20,355
What the fuck?

505
00:23:22,096 --> 00:23:25,839
My sentiments... exactly.

506
00:23:28,798 --> 00:23:32,236
- [helicopter whirring]
- [sirens wailing]

507
00:23:33,107 --> 00:23:35,414
[horns honking]

508
00:23:40,723 --> 00:23:43,160
[curious music playing]

509
00:23:56,304 --> 00:23:57,739
[lights buzzing]

510
00:23:57,740 --> 00:23:59,742
[panting]

511
00:24:00,700 --> 00:24:02,440
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
where have you been?

512
00:24:02,441 --> 00:24:03,616
Are you kidding?

513
00:24:04,051 --> 00:24:05,747
[panting]
I had to run here.

514
00:24:05,748 --> 00:24:08,794
The traffic's insane,
and half the cars are empty.

515
00:24:08,795 --> 00:24:09,925
Dr. Winston's MIA.

516
00:24:09,926 --> 00:24:11,623
- What?
- Yeah.

517
00:24:11,624 --> 00:24:12,928
He walked in this morning,
and he looked around

518
00:24:12,929 --> 00:24:13,973
and he walked out again.

519
00:24:13,974 --> 00:24:15,496
And now I can't find him.

520
00:24:15,497 --> 00:24:16,890
He dropped his pager
when he walked out.

521
00:24:17,456 --> 00:24:19,761
[panting] Okay.
I'll scrub in.

522
00:24:19,762 --> 00:24:21,068
The beds are empty.

523
00:24:22,112 --> 00:24:23,678
Most of them walked out.
I-I-I transferred

524
00:24:23,679 --> 00:24:25,332

Chuck was forbidden
to go into the cupola.

That was
his grandfather's rule,

1093

and it was absolute, emphatic.

1094
01:01:23,375 --> 01:01:26,769
Albie wasn't a stern man

He was downright gentle

And the big question,
why was the room locked?

01:01:48,530 --> 01:01:50,618
- Grandma said...
- Because the floor isn't safe

right through it.

- There's nothing up there

just before Chuck's
11th birthday,

1110

Carl Sagan [on TV]:
The cosmic calendar

compresses the local history
of the universe

into a single year.

1114
01:02:14,382 --> 01:02:16,602
If the universe began
on January 1st,

1115
01:02:17,124 --> 01:02:19,865
it was not until May
that the Milky Way formed.

If you went up there,

But the adult part of him,
not there in person,

1136

no, not at 10, but something
that had begun to speak

of house this is?

1145
01:03:39,511 --> 01:03:41,033
Victorian.

01:03:41,034 --> 01:03:42,079
That's right.

1147
01:03:43,341 --> 01:03:45,298
And not pretend
Victorian either.

1148
01:03:45,299 --> 01:03:48,259
It was built in 1885.

1149

It's been remodeled
half a dozen times since.

he's mistaken.

He just drinks too much.

01:08:20,313 --> 01:08:22,314
Oh, that's very thoughtful
of you.

1232
01:08:22,315 --> 01:08:23,664
I bet Vera'd love that.

1233
01:08:24,883 --> 01:08:25,884
Mm.

1234
01:08:26,885 --> 01:08:28,494
Just wonderful.

1235
01:08:28,495 --> 01:08:30,148
Your, your grandmother
is an artist.

1236
01:08:30,149 --> 01:08:31,758
Thank you for
bringing them over.

1237
01:08:31,759 --> 01:08:32,760
Was that your idea?

1238
01:08:33,326 --> 01:08:35,066
- Be honest.
- It was.

1239
01:08:35,067 --> 01:08:36,590
Well, can I make you
a cup of tea?

1240
01:08:37,156 --> 01:08:39,506
Um, I don't drink tea,
but, um,

1241
01:08:40,116 --> 01:08:41,726
I wouldn't mind
a glass of milk.

1242
01:08:43,771 --> 01:08:45,077
Well, your grandmother's
a saint.

1243
01:08:46,165 --> 01:08:47,731
And what about
your granddad?

1244
01:08:47,732 --> 01:08:49,472
Did he have that thing
on his back looked at?

1245
01:08:49,473 --> 01:08:52,170
Yeah, the, the doctor
took it off and had it tested.

1246
01:08:52,171 --> 01:08:53,346
[whispers]
Tell me everything.

1247
01:08:53,868 --> 01:08:55,435
It wasn't one
of the bad ones.

1248
01:08:56,567 --> 01:08:57,829
Thank God for that.

1249
01:08:58,308 --> 01:08:59,222
Yeah.

1250
01:09:00,875 --> 01:09:03,094
He, um, he was talking
to Grandma

1251
01:09:03,095 --> 01:09:05,750
about someone
named Henry Peterson.

1252
01:09:07,621 --> 01:09:08,926
So awful.

1253
01:09:08,927 --> 01:09:10,623
You know,
Henry was a bookkeeper,

1254
01:09:10,624 --> 01:09:11,930
just like your granddad.

1255
01:09:12,365 --> 01:09:14,192
He did a lot of
the other businesses in town.

1256
01:09:14,193 --> 01:09:15,628
The ones that
your Zaydee didn't do--

1257
01:09:15,629 --> 01:09:17,065
How did it happen?

1258
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:21,765
I don't think you want
to hear about that stuff.

1259
01:09:21,766 --> 01:09:26,117
Um, w-w-well,
Granddad said it was,
uh, peaceful.

1260
01:09:26,118 --> 01:09:27,598
[mouth full]
Peaceful?

1261
01:09:28,294 --> 01:09:30,514
He killed himself.
Hung himself.

1262
01:09:31,210 --> 01:09:32,863
His wife, you see,
she ran off

1263
01:09:32,864 --> 01:09:34,908
with this younger man,
barely old enough to vote.

1264
01:09:34,909 --> 01:09:37,129
And she was in her 40s.
What do you think of that?

1265
01:09:38,478 --> 01:09:40,044
- Wow.
- Damn right, wow.

1266
01:09:40,045 --> 01:09:42,134
And then, I heard that--

1267
01:09:48,009 --> 01:09:49,446
What's happening
at school?

1268
01:09:51,187 --> 01:09:53,492
- Who's smooching who?
- [chuckles]

1269
01:09:53,493 --> 01:09:56,582
teacher: "Talk honestly,
for no one else hears you

1270
01:09:56,583 --> 01:09:58,802

only a minute longer."

narrator: On the last day
of sixth grade,

1277
01:10:13,339 --> 01:10:14,948
Miss Richards,

1278
01:10:14,949 --> 01:10:17,081
a sweet, hippie-dippyish
young woman

1279
01:10:17,082 --> 01:10:19,562
who had no command
of discipline

1280
01:10:19,563 --> 01:10:21,781
and would probably
not last long

1281
01:10:21,782 --> 01:10:24,436
in the public
education system,

1282
01:10:24,437 --> 01:10:27,091
tried to recite
for Chuck's class

1283
01:10:27,092 --> 01:10:31,357
some verse
of Walt Whitman's
"Song of Myself."

1284
01:10:32,793 --> 01:10:35,318
"Failing to fetch me at first
keep encouraged.

1285
01:10:36,275 --> 01:10:38,451
Missing me one place,
search another."

1286
01:10:39,278 --> 01:10:42,194
- [bell ringing]
- [students chattering]

1287
01:10:52,335 --> 01:10:53,988
That went well,
don't you think?

1288
01:10:55,163 --> 01:10:57,601
Yeah, I'm, I'm
sorry about that.

1289
01:10:59,385 --> 01:11:03,433
What does he mean
when he says, "I am large,

1290
01:11:03,955 --> 01:11:06,174
I contain multitudes"?

1291
01:11:09,395 --> 01:11:10,701
What do you think
he means?

1292
01:11:11,745 --> 01:11:14,007
All the people
he knows.

1293
01:11:14,008 --> 01:11:15,096
Yes.

1294
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:17,316
But maybe he means
even more.

1295
01:11:18,796 --> 01:11:20,276
Here. Come here.

1296
01:11:24,323 --> 01:11:26,759
What's in there?
Between my hands?

1297
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:28,587
- My brain.
- [chuckles]

1298
01:11:28,588 --> 01:11:30,851
No, um, that's not
exactly what I mean.

1299
01:11:31,809 --> 01:11:32,940
What's in there?

1300
01:11:33,506 --> 01:11:35,334
Right between
my hands right now.

1301
01:11:37,031 --> 01:11:38,119
I don't know.

1302
01:11:38,685 --> 01:11:39,947
All the people you know?

1303
01:11:41,122 --> 01:11:42,123
I guess.

1304
01:11:42,820 --> 01:11:44,212
Just the people you know?

1305
01:11:46,824 --> 01:11:47,999
Everything you see.

1306
01:11:48,782 --> 01:11:50,175
Everything you know.

1307
01:11:51,481 --> 01:11:53,525
The world, Chuck.

1308
01:11:53,526 --> 01:11:56,311
Planes in the sky.
Manhole covers in the street.

1309
01:11:56,312 --> 01:11:59,444
Every year that you live,
that world inside your head

1310
01:11:59,445 --> 01:12:03,319
will get bigger and brighter
and more detailed and complex.

1311
01:12:04,145 --> 01:12:07,017
You will build cities
and countries and continents,

1312
01:12:07,018 --> 01:12:10,847
and you will fill them
with people and faces,

1313
01:12:10,848 --> 01:12:12,283
real and imagined.

1314
01:12:12,284 --> 01:12:13,851
Do you understand?

1315
01:12:15,374 --> 01:12:16,809
Don't stop there.

1316
01:12:16,810 --> 01:12:18,942
You fill the whole thing

1317
01:12:18,943 --> 01:12:20,640
with everyone you ever meet,

1318
01:12:21,206 --> 01:12:22,555
everyone you ever know,

1319
01:12:23,121 --> 01:12:25,471
everyone you ever
just imagine.

1320
01:12:26,603 --> 01:12:28,256
It'll be a universe.

1321
01:12:29,780 --> 01:12:33,305
A whole universe
right between my hands.

1322
01:12:35,351 --> 01:12:37,875
You contain multitudes.

1323
01:12:41,182 --> 01:12:42,227
So...

1324
01:12:44,011 --> 01:12:46,884
what happens
to that universe if someone...

1325
01:12:48,276 --> 01:12:49,756
I don't know,

1326
01:12:50,453 --> 01:12:53,760
hits a patch of ice
and goes off an overpass or...

1327
01:12:56,937 --> 01:12:58,722
Don't worry too much
about those things.

1328
01:12:59,810 --> 01:13:03,422
Just remember that
you contain multitudes,
Chuck.

1329
01:13:05,337 --> 01:13:06,599
Isn't that wonderful?

1330
01:13:09,167 --> 01:13:11,473
Now, go on.
You were such a good boy.

1331
01:13:11,474 --> 01:13:13,345
I've really enjoyed
having you in class.

enjoy his summer

1335
01:13:37,151 --> 01:13:38,718
until August,

1336
01:13:39,458 --> 01:13:40,633
when Bubbie died.

[indistinct praying]

1338
01:13:45,464 --> 01:13:47,291
It happened
at the grocery store

1339
01:13:47,292 --> 01:13:49,467
down the street, in public,

1340
01:13:49,468 --> 01:13:52,165
which was
a little undignified,

1341
01:13:52,166 --> 01:13:54,254
but at least it was
the kind of death

1342
01:13:54,255 --> 01:13:55,865
where people
can safely say...

1343
01:13:55,866 --> 01:13:57,345
Thank God
she didn't suffer.

The other standby...

to reach her mid-60s.

Once more, the house
on Pilchard Street

1349
01:14:14,885 --> 01:14:17,670
was one
of unadulterated sadness.

1350
01:14:19,106 --> 01:14:22,805
Albie wore his mourning band,
and lost weight,

1351
01:14:22,806 --> 01:14:25,242
and stopped
telling his jokes

1352
01:14:25,243 --> 01:14:28,768
and began to look older
than his 70 years.

in here a few weeks ago,

He was, by far,

1429

the best dancer
in the little club.

she was a full foot taller
than he was.

1442
01:19:51,656 --> 01:19:54,266
But he loved
to dance with her,

1443
01:19:54,267 --> 01:19:56,095
and the feeling was mutual.

01:36:13,593 --> 01:36:14,943
And in this moment...

1753
01:36:16,683 --> 01:36:18,250
I am wonderful.

1754
01:36:19,686 --> 01:36:22,210
And I have a right
to be wonderful.

You're a strange wonder,
my dear.

01:36:35,093 --> 01:36:37,312
narrator:
He doesn't offer more

1760
01:36:37,313 --> 01:36:40,664
because the scar was important
for another reason.

1761
01:36:42,013 --> 01:36:44,581
It was part of a story
he couldn't tell,

1762
01:36:45,190 --> 01:36:47,931
even though there was now
an apartment building

1763
01:36:47,932 --> 01:36:50,194
on the site
of the Victorian house

1764
01:36:50,195 --> 01:36:52,458
where he had done
most of his growing up.

1765
01:36:53,764 --> 01:36:56,418
The haunted Victorian house.

1766
01:36:56,419 --> 01:36:57,420
Mm.

1767
01:36:57,986 --> 01:36:58,943
No reason.

1768
01:37:00,815 --> 01:37:02,338
Funny thinking, I guess.

1769
01:37:03,121 --> 01:37:05,166
narrator:
The scar meant more,

1770
01:37:05,167 --> 01:37:07,169
so he had made it more.

1771
01:37:07,647 --> 01:37:11,477
He just couldn't make it
as much more as it really was.

1772
01:37:12,087 --> 01:37:14,305
That made little sense.

1773
01:37:14,306 --> 01:37:18,049
But as the glioblastoma
continued its blitzkrieg,

1774
01:37:18,702 --> 01:37:21,051
it was the best
his disintegrating mind

1775
01:37:21,052 --> 01:37:22,183
could manage.

Chuck's grandpa,

1783
01:37:56,653 --> 01:37:57,784
his Zaydee,

1784
01:37:58,655 --> 01:38:00,395
died of a heart attack

1785
01:38:00,396 --> 01:38:04,486
five years after
the Fall Fling dance.

1786
01:38:04,487 --> 01:38:07,054
Chuck was a junior
in high school

and dancing like Jagger

Came in a few weeks ago

1791
01:38:18,240 --> 01:38:20,589
just to make sure
everything was to the letter,

1792
01:38:20,590 --> 01:38:22,635
which I thought
was strange.

1793
01:38:23,419 --> 01:38:25,246
Not many people bother
to do that.

1794
01:38:25,247 --> 01:38:26,856
Most people,

1795
01:38:26,857 --> 01:38:29,338
they come here once
to set it all up.

1796
01:38:30,165 --> 01:38:31,862
They aren't anxious
to come back again.

1797
01:38:33,429 --> 01:38:36,561
Next time I see 'em,
they're in their Sunday best,

1798
01:38:36,562 --> 01:38:37,737
if you get me.

1799
01:38:39,957 --> 01:38:43,004
He was a great man
and a good friend.

1800
01:38:44,570 --> 01:38:47,311
He's been doing
our books for 23 years

1801
01:38:47,312 --> 01:38:49,661
and saved our skin
more than once

1802
01:38:49,662 --> 01:38:50,925
when the tax man was coming.

1803
01:38:53,753 --> 01:38:56,320
So, do I owe you
any money?

1804
01:38:56,321 --> 01:38:57,974
Not a penny.

1805
01:38:57,975 --> 01:39:01,195
He took care of that too.
Settled his tab

1806
01:39:01,196 --> 01:39:02,632

1809
01:39:08,072 --> 01:39:10,857
And this will sound strange,
so bear with me.

1810
01:39:11,423 --> 01:39:13,991
See, I, uh,

1811
01:39:14,513 --> 01:39:16,862
dreamed of being
a television weatherman

1812
01:39:16,863 --> 01:39:18,125
in my salad days

1813
01:39:18,126 --> 01:39:19,605
with maybe one
of the networks.

1814
01:39:20,867 --> 01:39:22,130
Wasn't in the cards
for me.

1815
01:39:23,305 --> 01:39:26,917
But I did spend
a summer at WKNB.

1816
01:39:28,136 --> 01:39:30,833
Well, there was a guy

1817
01:39:30,834 --> 01:39:32,966
at KNB who they said

1818
01:39:32,967 --> 01:39:34,968
could feel a storm coming

1819
01:39:34,969 --> 01:39:36,709

1820
01:39:37,232 --> 01:39:38,841
without the radar.

1821
01:39:38,842 --> 01:39:40,625
Had a sixth sense.

1822
01:39:40,626 --> 01:39:42,411
Damnedest thing I ever saw.

1823
01:39:43,064 --> 01:39:45,369
Uh, used to make this face,

1824
01:39:45,370 --> 01:39:48,851
this face when people talked
about their travel plans,

1825
01:39:48,852 --> 01:39:50,940
if he knew something
they didn't.

1826
01:39:50,941 --> 01:39:54,117
Not... not a smile,
per se.

1827
01:39:54,118 --> 01:39:55,945
No joy in it.

1828
01:39:55,946 --> 01:39:59,080
Just a... knowing.

1829
01:40:00,385 --> 01:40:02,126
"Weatherman Stare,"
I called it.

1830
01:40:03,301 --> 01:40:05,999
And I didn't have it,
not me.

1831
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:08,350
So, I'm here, not there.

1832
01:40:11,222 --> 01:40:14,137
Your granddad had
that same face

1833
01:40:14,138 --> 01:40:15,661
when he was in here.

1834
01:40:16,619 --> 01:40:20,057
Like... he knew
it was gonna rain.

1835
01:40:20,753 --> 01:40:23,147
And I was just a guy
selling him an umbrella.

1836
01:40:25,541 --> 01:40:26,846
Weatherman Stare.

1837
01:40:27,847 --> 01:40:29,327
[chuckles]
I'm sure of it.

1838
01:40:30,850 --> 01:40:31,938

Albie left him everything.

1840
01:40:36,465 --> 01:40:39,685
More than enough to pay
for his college education.

1841
01:40:40,164 --> 01:40:42,905
And later on,

01:40:42,906 --> 01:40:45,995

he and Ginny moved into

1843
01:40:45,996 --> 01:40:48,390
after their honeymoon
in the Catskills.

1844
01:40:50,479 --> 01:40:53,437
He flatly refused
to move to Omaha

1845
01:40:53,438 --> 01:40:55,658
to live with
his mother's parents.

1846
01:40:56,267 --> 01:40:58,181
- Look, I love you guys...
- narrator: He said.

1847
01:40:58,182 --> 01:41:01,576
...but this is where I grew up
and want to stay till college.

1848
01:41:01,577 --> 01:41:03,187
I'm 17. I'm not a baby.

1849
01:41:03,709 --> 01:41:06,102
narrator: So, they,
both long retired,

1850
01:41:06,103 --> 01:41:07,756
came to him

1851
01:41:07,757 --> 01:41:09,671
and stayed
in the Victorian

1852
01:41:09,672 --> 01:41:12,543
for the 20-odd months
before Chuck went off

1853
01:41:12,544 --> 01:41:14,546
to the University of Illinois.

1854
01:41:16,940 --> 01:41:20,161
They weren't able to be there
for the funeral, however.

1855
01:41:21,684 --> 01:41:24,294
It happened fast,
as Albie had wanted,

1856
01:41:24,295 --> 01:41:26,340
and his mom's folks
had loose ends

1857
01:41:26,341 --> 01:41:28,125
to tie up in Omaha.

1858
01:41:29,344 --> 01:41:31,911
Chuck didn't really miss them,
if he was honest.

1859
01:41:32,912 --> 01:41:35,088
His Zaydee hated a fuss

1860

almost as much
as he hated a crowd.

scheduled to arrive,

sitting on the table

at Yarborough Funeral Home,

He'd seen Henry Peterson
hanging from the ceiling.

1879
01:44:11,245 --> 01:44:13,943
He'd seen his own wife
lying dead.

1880
01:44:14,378 --> 01:44:16,901
And likely,
Chuck supposed,

1881
01:44:16,902 --> 01:44:20,079
perhaps the night
Chuck had stolen his keys,

1882
01:44:20,993 --> 01:44:25,345
Albie had even seen himself
crumpled to the floor,

1883
01:44:25,346 --> 01:44:27,348
still clutching
his upper arm.

1884
01:44:28,914 --> 01:44:31,177
"It's the waiting," he'd said.

that wait be?

in the hospital bed?

in the movies.

been there in the first place.
