Speaker 1: and realm oh idea.
Speaker 2: When I said I didn't know what Stabber's wife was
Speaker 2: talking about when she said, listen to the tapes.
Speaker 3: I kept them for seven years. I have to do something.
Speaker 3: What face the fire?
Speaker 2: Mom? Check out? What ce he got me? What do
Speaker 2: you think you're being recorded?
Speaker 4: I think I'm really happy to have you both home again.

Speaker 2: tape actually make that like squiggly Salmary? That's working? Not squiggly? Though?
Speaker 2: How long are you here for?
Speaker 3: I don't know yet.
Speaker 2: This is like the return of the prodigal You went
Speaker 2: out to the big city god flees by scam artist,
Speaker 2: lost your quote unquote fortune, and came crawling back to
Speaker 2: Mom and dad. Oh so sad? Pathetic, one might say,
Speaker 2: not me, though, I'm very understanding.
Speaker 3: That's not exactly humiliating might.
Speaker 2: Be another word. Someone would say, again, not me though,
Speaker 2: very understanding. Stay as long as you need to get
Speaker 2: back on your feet.
Speaker 3: Are you done?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm done.
Speaker 3: I am going to hug you. Then let me get
Speaker 3: settled and we'll talk right after. I wouldn't have gotten
Speaker 3: this for you if I knew you're going to be
Speaker 3: recording non stop.
Speaker 2: Hey, I took a thirty minute break. Just be glad.
Speaker 2: I like it so much.
Speaker 3: Dad actually got off his ass and cleaned out the garage.
Speaker 2: He hired some kids. He started drinking occasionally. Is it
Speaker 2: fun drinking or depressed genius drinking? Do you remember Morgan? Morgan?
Speaker 2: I love Morgan.
Speaker 3: We're partners? Now? What business? Partners?
Speaker 2: Oh? That makes more sense? Are you dating?
Speaker 1: It?
Speaker 2: All? Not my You're saying you've never been on a date.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, shouldn't you do it just to know
Speaker 2: what it's like. Spare one evening.

Speaker 2: What are you doing right now? What do you mean?
Speaker 3: What am I doing right? I'm catching up with my sister,
Speaker 3: who I haven't seen in a very long time. Would
Speaker 3: you rather be on a date of Applebee's with some
Speaker 3: egomaniac insurance salesman?
Speaker 2: Damn, you're negative.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to cure Alzheimer's.
Speaker 2: Kay?
Speaker 3: What Morgan's mom has that?
Speaker 2: Oh? I didn't know. But why do you have to
Speaker 2: do it?
Speaker 3: Because I can? And if I don't, Morgan's going to
Speaker 3: have it too. That's a lot of pressure to put
Speaker 3: on yourself. I also don't want some mediocre hack who
Speaker 3: isn't even born yet to swoop in at the last second,
Speaker 3: after I've done all the hard work and take credit
Speaker 3: for my achievement.
Speaker 2: If it happens, it happens. You have to live your
Speaker 2: life in the meantime. You don't need to work every day.
Speaker 3: Everyone always says they're gonna follow their dreams tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Not me.
Speaker 3: For me, it's now, it's always now.
Speaker 2: All right now, got it?
Speaker 3: Sorry?
Speaker 2: I just don't want to see you lose yourself.
Speaker 3: Lose myself. I found myself.
Speaker 2: So you're saying you don't want to hear about my
Speaker 2: date last week?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I do. I want to know what's
Speaker 3: going on with you? Was it a good date?
Speaker 2: Dinner in a movie? Standard issue?
Speaker 3: Where'd you go?
Speaker 2: Applebee's?
Speaker 5: Since when can you cook?
Speaker 2: Is it actually good?
Speaker 5: I didn't say that. You just didn't set off the
Speaker 5: spoke detector.
Speaker 2: I think the batteries are good.
Speaker 5: So d what's next?
Speaker 3: I'm meeting with Harlan Kingship tomorrow.
Speaker 5: This has got to be easy way to raise money.
Speaker 3: You'd think so, but no one understands what Morgan and
Speaker 3: I are working on the People don't like investing in
Speaker 3: things that confuse.
Speaker 4: What does it do?
Speaker 3: This thing you built and maps the human brain. Eventually
Speaker 3: we'll be able to see any neural dysfunction in real time.
Speaker 5: You'll be able to hear diseases eventually. Yeah, aren't people
Speaker 5: already mapping the human brain?
Speaker 3: We leapfrog them all in a year.
Speaker 5: How do you do that?
Speaker 3: By being smarter?
Speaker 5: Remember when you're thirteen, you said if you ever got rich,
Speaker 5: you'd buy me a boat.
Speaker 3: You promised me a Mercedes. Let me get rich first,
Speaker 3: and then we can all talk.
Speaker 4: Is that right?
Speaker 3: Can I commend.
Speaker 2: Ire? Do you know what you're going to say so
Speaker 2: you can skip the whole thing? No?
Speaker 3: I think we'll talk.
Speaker 2: Really not necessary? One hour talk mom, please?
Speaker 4: Two two hours?
Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk.
Speaker 3: That's what's going on.
Speaker 2: There's a competition at school to write the best comedy piece.
Speaker 2: In my essay won first prize, the one about Mittie's funeral.
Speaker 3: That's amazing, But didn't you tell us.
Speaker 2: It doesn't really compare to mapping the human brain, does it?
Speaker 4: All Right, I'm gonna tell you something and you can't
Speaker 4: ever repeat it? Is that record around?
Speaker 2: Sorry? I keep forgetting to turn it off.
Speaker 3: How long does it take you to write?
Speaker 2: Like two weeks? It's so funny. Dad wants me to
Speaker 2: get a degree in accounting. Told him I'm not cut
Speaker 2: out for that. He told me to stick out my
Speaker 2: finger and tap the table. And if I can do that,
Speaker 2: then I can push buttons on a calculator.
Speaker 3: Don't let him drag you down.
Speaker 2: He doesn't get it. He doesn't get me. Make him.
Speaker 2: If only it were that easy. What was that? He's fine?

Speaker 4: the snary, it's the screaming.
Speaker 3: Now, what was your nightmare.
Speaker 5: That I'll sleep on the cow?

Speaker 3: I bought it for her. It's basically mine. Otherwise? How

Speaker 4: spinning in your head.
Speaker 3: I'm just worried. About Dad. I mean, if you don't
Speaker 3: see a doctor. He has his reasons. You know that
Speaker 3: they're irrational.
Speaker 4: How would you feel if Kay died because of a
Speaker 4: misdiagnosis followed by an unnecessary surgery.

Speaker 4: happened to Kay?

Speaker 2: Maybe?
Speaker 4: Don't judge your father so harshly.

Speaker 2: What the hell are you doing? Why are you asking
Speaker 2: us a bunch of questions about sleep?

Speaker 3: responsible for the death of his brother, my uncle John.
Speaker 3: I'm possibly experiencing delusions. My family and I are hitting
Speaker 3: our physical and mental limits. I'm going to wait for

Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: As a neuroscientist, are you allowed to prescribe medication.
Speaker 3: One day with the right job? Yes?
Speaker 2: Why a detective came over here today, his cards on
Speaker 2: the table there, He left it in case I had
Speaker 2: a reason to call.
Speaker 3: What did he want?
Speaker 2: You have no idea what he wanted. No, he came
Speaker 2: here after speaking to the coroner. The coroner told him
Speaker 2: that mom and Dad died of heart attacks. He said
Speaker 2: the heart attacks were likely caused by underlying conditions, but
Speaker 2: that might not have happened if their bodies weren't weakened
Speaker 2: by several days without sleep, which seems to have been
Speaker 2: a result of certain drugs in their systems which they
Speaker 2: weren't prescribed, sodium occipate and novoxen. He asked me, if
Speaker 2: I had an explanation for that.
Speaker 3: What did you tell him?
Speaker 2: Nothing?
Speaker 3: That'll get you in trouble. I know how this looks.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I knew what I was doing.
Speaker 2: You drugged us. I had to. What do you mean
Speaker 2: you had to?
Speaker 3: No doctor would prescribe them, and I knew you wouldn't
Speaker 3: listen to me if I told you what I was doing.
Speaker 2: How can you stand there and act like you did
Speaker 2: the right thing?
Speaker 3: Because I did. I know it didn't work, but it
Speaker 3: was the only way to give them a chance. Give
Speaker 3: them a chance, Yes, give them a chance. I promise
Speaker 3: you those drugs didn't kill them. How can you possibly
Speaker 3: say that for sure? Because I'm fucking sure you think
Speaker 3: I would ever.
Speaker 2: Do anything to hurt you or Mom or Dad. I
Speaker 2: think you played god and it didn't work. And now
Speaker 2: you're doubling down because you can't admit you're wrong.
Speaker 3: Okay, I get how you feel, but I need you
Speaker 3: to trust me right now.
Speaker 2: You know, Mom told me something a few days before
Speaker 2: she died. She asked me never to repeat it, but
Speaker 2: I guess it doesn't matter now. I was depressed about
Speaker 2: them not caring about my essay and you being the favorite,
Speaker 2: and she was trying to make me feel better. And
Speaker 2: she told me that she used to be afraid of
Speaker 2: you because when you were a baby, you wouldn't smile
Speaker 2: and you wouldn't laugh. She didn't know if you really
Speaker 2: loved them or if you could. And I said that
Speaker 2: you were a little callous, but you had a good heart.
Speaker 2: Oh why she was right the first time.
Speaker 3: You're sociopaths. I don't feel safe around you. I I
Speaker 3: understand why you're upset, but I just lost my parents too.
Speaker 2: You should leave.
Speaker 3: What do you mean?
Speaker 2: You should go back to Boston? Okay, come on, leave
Speaker 2: or I'm calling that number on the car.
Speaker 7: You're not being serious, I am, and take this fucking
