00:12:50,322 --> 00:12:52,557
What brings you here,
Nico?

322
00:12:52,625 --> 00:12:54,826
This is my Tuesday-night
restaurant.

323
00:12:54,893 --> 00:12:56,027
Is it, now?
Mm-hmm.

324
00:12:56,095 --> 00:12:57,128
Huh.

325
00:12:57,196 --> 00:12:59,197
Nice to see you,
Mr. Careles.

326
00:12:59,265 --> 00:13:00,164
Join us for a drink?

327
00:13:02,968 --> 00:13:05,570
Okay, so...

328
00:13:05,638 --> 00:13:07,572
Uh, do you happen to be
the J.D. Aldridge

329
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,307
behind the book
"The Ape Apprentice"?

330
00:13:09,375 --> 00:13:10,341
Wow.

331
00:13:10,409 --> 00:13:11,576
Yeah. Guilty.

332
00:13:11,644 --> 00:13:14,812
I think that one
may have sold five copies.

333
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,649
Hmm. Interspecies comparative
behavioral studies.

334
00:13:17,716 --> 00:13:19,884
I mean, great --
really great stuff.

335
00:13:19,952 --> 00:13:21,853
I've never heard you
make mention

336
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,455
of your fascination with
interspecies studies before.

337
00:13:24,523 --> 00:13:27,292
Or any interests at all,
really.

338
00:13:27,359 --> 00:13:30,094
Well, I see a lot of animal
behavior in my line of work.

339
00:13:30,162 --> 00:13:31,629
Animals provide
important insight

340
00:13:31,697 --> 00:13:33,031
into what it means
to be human.

341
00:13:33,098 --> 00:13:34,499
Couldn't agree more.

342
00:13:34,566 --> 00:13:35,900
Hmm.

343
00:13:35,968 --> 00:13:38,603
Tell me.
What do you agree with there?

344
00:13:38,671 --> 00:13:41,639
Well, I mean, let's take birds,
for example.

345
00:13:41,707 --> 00:13:44,242
Some are part of flocks.
Some pair off for life.

346
00:13:44,310 --> 00:13:46,210
Some fly solo.

347
00:13:46,278 --> 00:13:48,746
You know, it wasn't until
I studied male jaguars

348
00:13:48,814 --> 00:13:50,882
that I understood
why my marriage ended.

00:14:03,362 --> 00:14:04,429
Good night.

357
00:14:07,766 --> 00:14:09,600
That man
has never mentioned

358
00:14:09,668 --> 00:14:11,135
that he was married before,
ever.

359
00:14:11,203 --> 00:14:12,770
He does security
for the Hawks.

360
00:14:12,838 --> 00:14:15,540
Do I need to hire a freshman
to start my car for me now?

361
00:14:15,607 --> 00:14:17,141
No, no.

362
00:14:17,209 --> 00:14:19,644
You just have to be
really, really nice to me,

363
00:14:19,646 --> 00:14:21,012
and then you'll be safe.

364
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,280
All right, that I can do.

Okay.

Ray Jay, uh, since when do you
read <i>the Wall Street Journal?</i>

369
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,761
I prefer the tactile experience
of print

370
00:14:36,829 --> 00:14:38,262
to reading the paper
online.

371
00:14:38,330 --> 00:14:39,597
Well, I'm just happy

372
00:14:39,665 --> 00:14:41,599
that you're having
any reading experience at all.

373
00:14:41,667 --> 00:14:42,834
It's Dominican.

374
00:14:42,901 --> 00:14:45,203
I like a little extra boost.
Don't you?

375
00:14:45,270 --> 00:14:47,805
Oh, and we also cleaned
our rooms, did the laundry,

376
00:14:47,873 --> 00:14:49,474
and if we had a dog,
we would have fed him.

377
00:14:49,541 --> 00:14:50,475
Mm-hmm.

Hmm.

379
00:14:52,111 --> 00:14:54,479
Valiant effort.

380
00:14:54,546 --> 00:14:56,414
But you're still not
staying home alone.

381
00:14:56,482 --> 00:14:57,548
This is so unfair.

382
00:14:57,616 --> 00:14:59,117
If you want us
to be responsible,

383
00:14:59,184 --> 00:15:00,618
you have to
give us a chance.

384
00:15:00,686 --> 00:15:02,186
Push the birds
out of the nest.

385
00:15:02,254 --> 00:15:03,388
Otherwise,
we're gonna end up

386
00:15:03,455 --> 00:15:05,590
like those little birds
on the sidewalk,

387
00:15:05,657 --> 00:15:09,394
the one whos mother never lets
them do anything on their own.

388

the chance to fly...

Mm.

391
00:15:14,933 --> 00:15:17,735
I got to tell you,
I'm kind of terrified.

Oh remember what I said
about fear?

That's what
we're doing here now.

We're gonna find out what's real
and what's not.

You're doing
really well already.

take off your hat.

just keep on walking, okay?

00:39:01,708 --> 00:39:04,643
I'm gonna go to Amsterdam
early next year.

964
00:39:04,711 --> 00:39:06,479
I wish
you could join me.

965
00:39:08,148 --> 00:39:11,117
But I have to stay here
for my kids,

966
00:39:11,184 --> 00:39:12,718
for the team.

967
00:39:12,786 --> 00:39:16,355
For random people
who need rescuing from rooftops.

968
00:39:16,423 --> 00:39:20,893
You have this life where you
can just pick up and go,

969
00:39:20,961 --> 00:39:23,295
and I have this life
where I --

970
00:39:23,363 --> 00:39:25,865
Where you're needed
right where you are.

971
00:39:25,932 --> 00:39:28,534
Mm-h.

972
00:39:30,737 --> 00:39:34,073
Professor Aldridge...

973
00:39:34,141 --> 00:39:36,075
Yeah?

974
00:39:36,143 --> 00:39:38,010
...those trips
sound so amazing.

975
00:39:38,035 --> 00:39:39,235
Aw, you'll make it...

976
00:39:40,336 --> 00:39:41,210
you will.

977
00:39:41,214 --> 00:39:42,882
It's just
now's not the time.

978
00:39:42,949 --> 00:39:46,285
So, then...

979
00:39:46,353 --> 00:39:49,522
this...

980
00:39:49,589 --> 00:39:51,023
Then what is this?

981
00:39:51,091 --> 00:39:53,492
This is...

982
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,928
just what happens
sometimes.

983
00:40:11,645 --> 00:40:13,746
See you, Santino.

986
00:40:29,617 --> 00:40:32,286
So, is, uh, Kirkman okay?

987
00:40:32,353 --> 00:40:34,173
Mm-hmm.
He's gonna continue seeing me,

988
00:40:34,174 --> 00:40:37,276
and I already found him
a social-skills group

989
00:40:37,344 --> 00:40:38,474
for people
with Asperger's.

990
00:40:38,475 --> 00:40:40,903
So, he's gonna start
a whole new life.

991
00:40:41,501 --> 00:40:42,901
So you're gonna --

992
00:40:42,969 --> 00:40:44,903
you're gonna help him
find his flock.

993
00:40:44,971 --> 00:40:46,538
Ha.

994
00:40:46,606 --> 00:40:48,273
Speak.

995
00:40:48,341 --> 00:40:53,278
It's just that it took me weeks
to get Pittsburgh out of you,

996
00:40:53,346 --> 00:40:55,514
and you're with J.D.
for 30 seconds,

997
00:40:55,582 --> 00:40:57,783
and you tell him
that you were married.

998
00:40:57,851 --> 00:40:59,084
I don't get it.

999
00:40:59,152 --> 00:41:01,386
Well, if you had asked me,
I would have told you.

1000
00:41:02,689 --> 00:41:05,824
I never lie. Ever.

1001
00:41:05,892 --> 00:41:07,793
I thought you knew that
about me.

1002
00:41:07,861 --> 00:41:10,262
Okay.

1003
00:41:10,330 --> 00:41:13,966
So, then,
why did you get divorced?

1004
00:41:16,870 --> 00:41:20,472
Because some birds
fly better solo.

for you?

Is that good for you?

there's always the next day
