00:00:00Observation, the rubicide dais, or the American red raspberry, is a delicate plant that bears
00:00:12fruit for only a few weeks.
00:00:14The berries used to grow all over my backyard, but then suddenly, they disappeared.
00:00:22I wanted them to come back, so I planted four seedlings inside of a hydroponics terrarium.
00:00:28I hypothesized that if I nurtured the plants using mechanical stimulation, the berries
00:00:34would grow again.
00:00:37I applied five strokes daily using a cloth.
00:00:42I put them inside this closed system so no other variables like the sun, the rain, or
00:00:47the soil would affect them.
00:00:58I'd like to make a balance transfer.
00:01:28Yes, you're a notice and a mayor.
00:01:31Zero percent APR, that's correct, right?
00:01:34Fifty grand.
00:01:36For six months, yes.
00:01:38Completely understand.
00:01:40Yes, um, no, I want to transfer the balance.
00:01:44Absolutely, that's right.
00:01:47Um, dad?
00:01:49What?
00:01:50Something's wrong.
00:01:51Why is it leaking from up there?
00:01:52What's going on?
00:01:53What did you do?
00:01:54I'm sorry, I think I'm going to have to call you back.
00:01:56You can fix it.
00:01:57You can fix it?
00:01:58How?
00:01:59Ah!
00:02:00Look, go get your mother.
00:02:01What happened?
00:02:02Mom!
00:02:03Nathalie!
00:02:04Mom!
00:02:05Clean the things off the shelf.
00:02:07I need a wrench.
00:02:08Somebody!
00:02:09No, the key!
00:02:10Ah!
00:02:11Getting soaked!
00:02:12Where's your mother?
00:02:13Mom!
00:02:14Ah!
00:02:15Oh, no!
00:02:16What happened?
00:02:17Here!
00:02:18Just help me.
00:02:19Ah!
00:02:20What?
00:02:21Oh, God!
00:02:22I did the same thing!
00:02:23I know, I know!
00:02:24It's up there!
00:02:25I need to find the slot for the fan.
00:02:26Here!
00:02:27Where's my key?
00:02:28Just shut your mouth!
00:02:29Give me the tool box!
00:02:30Gina, get the towel!
00:02:31Gina!
00:02:32Get the towel!
00:02:33Get the towel!
00:02:34Nathalie, where's the tool box?
00:02:35Give me a towel!
00:02:36It's going everywhere in my kitchen!
00:02:37Give me this!
00:02:38What are you doing?
00:02:39That's not the thing!
00:02:40I'm trying to block the water!
00:02:41You're not even on it!
00:02:42You haven't even put it on!
00:02:43Look for the fan box, Nath!
00:02:44What?
00:02:45Oh, I'm just going to...
00:02:46I'm just going to put...
00:02:47I'm just going to put...
00:02:48I'm just going to put...
00:02:49I'm just going to put...
00:02:50I'm just going to put...
00:02:51I'm just going to put...
00:02:55I'm just going to put...
00:02:56I'm just going to put...
00:02:57I'm just going to put...
00:02:58I'm just going to put...
00:02:59I'm just going to put...
00:03:00I'm just going to put...
00:03:01Give me your towel!
00:03:02You were right, Nathalie.
00:03:10Rain really isn't helping.
00:03:12So, I'm no expert here.
00:03:13We know.
00:03:14Hey, at least he stopped the water.
00:03:16Because you couldn't.
00:03:17All I wanted to say was, there is definitely some corrosion in the kitchen pipes.
00:03:23You might have to replace them.
00:03:24Wait, couldn't we just splice new piping into the corroded part?
00:03:30So, Minoj, are you guys using Drano, like, every day or something?
00:03:33Well, a little, you know, just here or there.
00:03:36I was using it on my toilet every day.
00:03:39Amrish, thanks for all your help.
00:03:42Oh, hey, I love doing this stuff. It's kind of like my hobby.
00:03:45In fact, I can come back tomorrow and...
00:03:47No, no, no, um...
00:03:49I mean, we'll see.
00:03:51Okay.
00:03:53Okay, cool.
00:03:55But remember, these chemicals might seem like a quick fix,
00:03:59but they're really just a band-aid solution.
00:04:01Okay, thank you, Amrish. I'll see you out, all right?
00:04:03Okay.
00:04:07Say goodbye to Amrish.
00:04:09Bye.
00:04:15That's right around 50,000.
00:04:17Yes, um, if that's okay.
00:04:20Why don't we just ask my brother for help? What's the big deal?
00:04:23Right, absolutely, great. Thank you.
00:04:25Okay, I will. Bye-bye.
00:04:26All suffering because of your mistakes and now this damn plumbing thing?
00:04:30Babu Patel said he will help for free.
00:04:32Oh, thanks, but no.
00:04:36So dramatic.
00:04:37Dramatic.
00:04:38That's what you said last time when you brought your...
00:04:40Everything will be okay.
00:04:42Please, just trust me.
00:04:51Hey, my new invention.
00:04:54It has promise.
00:04:56I'm setting up some meetings and...
00:05:13Studies have shown that physical contact can benefit people in so many ways.
00:05:18So I ask myself, is it the same for plants?
00:05:22I hypothesize that yes, human touch can accelerate the growth of raspberries.
00:05:30Great job, Monica and Zachary.
00:05:33Touch therapy.
00:05:36A robot that reads mood.
00:05:39Both projects showed excellent vision.
00:05:42But I can only nominate one for the regional fair.
00:05:46Thanks.
00:05:47Please come forward, both of you.
00:05:53Ms. Monica Shaw.
00:05:59You're the first runner-up.
00:06:01And Zachary, congratulations.
00:06:07It's a close race.
00:06:09Tough choice for you.
00:06:16Faces.
00:06:17All right, let's open our books.
00:06:24Zach's so cool.
00:06:26Your project was way better.
00:06:28My berries are going to grow.
00:06:30They have to.
00:06:41I don't think she's going to be able to get this one.
00:06:43Look at this.
00:06:44Oh, Mr. Rowdy.
00:06:46Hello, Mr. Rowdy.
00:06:48Okay, you've got five seconds.
00:06:52Two seconds, Monica.
00:07:14I can't sell this game, Monica.
00:07:17I know, Dad.
00:07:21Come on, time for bed.
00:07:30How's that brain of yours, eh?
00:07:45Perfect blend of east meets west.
00:07:56Infuse your macaroni with a bit of cumin and chili.
00:08:04So cliche.
00:08:07It's only been six months.
00:08:11I need this job.
00:08:13You know how it is.
00:08:15The higher-ups want to cut costs and speed up production.
00:08:18Look, at least give me one more moment.
00:08:22I need this job.
00:08:24I need this job.
00:08:26I need this job.
00:08:28I need this job.
00:08:30I need this job.
00:08:32I need this job.
00:08:34Look, at least give me one more moment, eh?
00:08:37Please.
00:08:38Between you and me, they've already hired three guys in India at half your salary.
00:08:42Well, look, I'm happy to work with them.
00:08:45Hell, Manny.
00:08:46You may as well move back to India.
00:08:48That's where all the jobs are.
00:09:04Turn it off.
00:09:14What's going on?
00:09:15I couldn't stand the mess.
00:09:17I told you I could get some free help this weekend.
00:09:20I called my brother.
00:09:22You did what?
00:09:23I called my brother.
00:09:24You didn't do anything.
00:09:26It's dripping all day.
00:09:27How can I work?
00:09:28So now I have to pay him for this.
00:09:29The house is falling down.
00:09:31You could have waited till the weekend.
00:09:34Do you think we can afford this?
00:09:35Stop yelling.
00:09:37I'm yelling because you're just annoying the shit out of me.
00:09:39You know what? I don't want to talk to you.
00:09:41Spending money like we have no tomorrow, you know.
00:09:44The house is falling apart.
00:09:45The roof's falling apart.
00:09:46What are we going to do?
00:09:48Fighting again.
00:09:50Your mother always has to point out the negative.
00:09:52Nothing I do is good enough.
00:09:54Stop it, Manoj.
00:09:55I mean, why can't she be positive?
00:09:57Remember how we have two beautiful and bright daughters?
00:10:02Gina.
00:10:03Gina with her soccer.
00:10:04And Monica getting straight A's and winning every competition that she enters.
00:10:32I love you.
00:10:34I love you too.
00:11:01It's real.
00:11:21Toss it in.
00:11:25How much?
00:11:26Taste it, sense it, feel it.
00:11:32More?
00:11:46Hey, Dad.
00:11:48You look nice.
00:11:49Yeah, where are you going?
00:11:53Just work.
00:11:56So, um, what happened with your science project?
00:12:01It's okay, you don't have to tell me.
00:12:04Just make sure you analyze how you can do it better the next time.
00:12:08Can we eat in peace?
00:12:09I'm talking to my daughter.
00:12:16Learn all you can from your mistakes.
00:12:18It's the only way that dreams will happen.
00:12:20You fail and you fail and you finally succeed.
00:12:23And you fail and you finally succeed.
00:12:25It's the American way.
00:12:31I have to go.
00:12:37Aim even higher next year.
00:12:47Methods.
00:12:48It's clear that I need to take serious measures if I want to change the experiment outcomes.
00:12:53So, instead of applying five strokes daily, I'll now double the amount and apply ten strokes daily.
00:13:00It is this scientist's goal to elevate the results of this project quickly and diligently.
00:13:07Maybe then Dad will be happy.
00:13:12How's it going, Zachary? It looks great.
00:13:15It's coming along nicely.
00:13:17I could adjust the skin temperature.
00:13:20It looks great. I think we'll take the next few days to perfect it.
00:13:24And I think you've got a real shot at first place.
00:13:30That's great. Keep up the good work.
00:13:34We'll win, of course.
00:13:36Those other projects don't even come close.
00:13:39Sorry about the regionals, Monica. I know you put a lot into this.
00:13:43Actually, I wanted to ask you about something.
00:13:46Sure.
00:13:47I checked the Tri-Counties Regional Science Fair website,
00:13:50and it says that if you, the teacher, sign my form,
00:13:54then I can nominate myself and compete as an independent.
00:13:58Oh, really?
00:14:00It says any student may compete on their own accord as an independent,
00:14:04provided that at least one faculty member signs up.
00:14:08I'll work hard, redesign my projects so I can get stronger numbers.
00:14:14Please?
00:14:17I need to check with the department on this.
00:14:19But I'll get back to you, okay?
00:14:40Hey, James. How are you?
00:14:43I was just...
00:14:47I was just checking out your new educational games.
00:14:50You know DigiToys? These are the guys I'm going to hate.
00:15:14What's up?
00:15:31Something a bit cleaner, with a more subtle...
00:15:35No.
00:15:36No.
00:15:39Professional.
00:15:41You're paying me eight grand. May as well spend two more and hire...
00:15:45It's terrible. Like...
00:15:47Like some brown goddess, packaged masala mysticism.
00:16:12Hey, you guys pick some of those berries, yeah?
00:16:14Oh, okay.
00:16:15Now make something really yummy for us to eat, okay?
00:16:18Okay.
00:16:23I'm going to take those raspberries, and I'm going to take these raspberries,
00:16:27and I'm going to put them all together, and I'm going to make a curry.
00:16:30That's so tiny!
00:16:32What, do we pour them in here?
00:16:33And I have the ocean of washcloth.
00:16:35Oh, because these are washcloth, absolutely, right?
00:16:42Raspberry curry.
00:16:52They're not coming back.
00:16:54Who?
00:16:55The berries. They're not coming back.
00:17:00I have to tell you something.
00:17:02Yeah, sure, anything.
00:17:04But you can't tell anybody.
00:17:06I promise.
00:17:08It was weird.
00:17:10What?
00:17:12I saw Dad.
00:17:14Where did you see Dad?
00:17:16At the video store. In the middle of the day.
00:17:19We should tell him.
00:17:21Just wait until Dad comes home.
00:17:41Hi, honey.
00:17:43How was work?
00:17:47It was fine.
00:17:49Really?
00:17:51Gina?
00:17:52She had to know.
00:17:56Okay, fine.
00:18:00I lost my job yesterday.
00:18:06Were you even going to tell me?
00:18:09Were you even going to tell me?
00:18:15Will you hit me in front of our daughters?
00:18:17Were you even going to tell me?
00:18:19Of course.
00:18:20I just wanted to have a plan.
00:18:25And I had some very promising meetings today.
00:18:28We're in serious trouble.
00:18:30Which is why I have to sell this game.
00:18:32You know, it's the quickest and easiest way for us to get out of this mess.
00:18:38There's an even easier way.
00:18:51You have no faith in me.
00:18:53Or in anything I can do.
00:18:55You know, I don't need any more handouts from that bastard brother of yours!
00:19:03You are so stubborn!
00:19:05You won't ask for help. You won't deal with our problems.
00:19:07You're totally worthless!
00:19:09Worthless?
00:19:10But what about you, huh?
00:19:12Nagging like a 70-year-old grandmother.
00:19:14And your constant antagonism.
00:19:16Manoj, you can't do this right. You can't do that right.
00:19:18Can't, can't, can't!
00:19:20Can't do a damn thing!
00:19:21Why don't you go and live with that brother of yours?
00:19:24What's the purpose of family if they can't be there?
00:19:26Better to owe him than the bank.
00:19:28I can take care of us.
00:19:30Then why don't you?
00:19:31I am trying!
00:19:33I'm sick!
00:19:34I just need some focus work time where I can concentrate!
00:19:37Get away from all your negativity!
00:19:40I can't stand to be around you!
00:19:47Leave then.
00:19:49Okay.
00:19:51I will.
00:19:54Go tell the girls I love them.
00:19:56Wait!
00:19:57Manoj!
00:19:58Manoj!
00:20:03What's happening?
00:20:13Mom, where did he go?
00:20:14When is he coming back?
00:20:16I don't know.
00:20:33Okay.
00:20:34Okay.
00:20:36Okay.
00:21:04Hey.
00:21:09Where do you think Dad went?
00:21:12Away.
00:21:13To sell his game.
00:21:14When do you think he's coming back?
00:21:17Not sure.
00:21:34What?
00:21:35When the berries grow, Mom and Dad will stop fighting.
00:21:39I know it.
00:21:41Excuse you.
00:21:48It's too bad.
00:21:49I know.
00:21:50Dad, we have to go.
00:21:51Dad, we have to go.
00:21:52I know it's not a good idea.
00:21:54Dad, we have to go.
00:21:55I know it's not a good idea.
00:21:58Excuse you.
00:22:03It's too bad.
00:22:08It's gonna be okay.
00:22:13Good morning, Jeffrey.
00:22:18Hello, Tamodachi.
00:22:21You are next.
00:22:23It's just, Dad doesn't get me.
00:22:27Did you hear what he said this morning?
00:22:31Tamodachi, what a loser.
00:22:34Sorry, Miss Bradley.
00:22:39Hi, Monica.
00:22:42So, did you talk to everyone?
00:22:44Yes, I did, and we all agreed it's just fine.
00:22:47It's totally within the rules to compete as an independent.
00:22:50I'll just beat her. Again.
00:22:53How do raspberries are more relevant than you'll ever be?
00:22:56Enough, folks.
00:23:00Monica, you need to be ready to show your work in six weeks.
00:23:03Thanks.
00:23:15That is absolute.
00:23:17We can hire another designer, keep the cost low.
00:23:20All I want is something that's classy.
00:23:23What's the big...
00:23:26Fine, fine, forget it.
00:23:28Forget you people.
00:23:29Shitty company anyway.
00:23:31So incompetent.
00:23:35Oh!
00:24:04Where is she?
00:24:06I don't know.
00:24:11Did she leave too?
00:24:13I don't know.
00:24:18Mom!
00:24:21Mom!
00:24:22Manoj?
00:24:23No, Mom, it's Monica and Gina.
00:24:26Yeah, we thought you left.
00:24:29It's four o'clock.
00:24:31I'm hungry.
00:24:40They've dropped me from the roster.
00:24:44It's not a damn thing I can do about it.
00:24:47The second half of my advance? Gone.
00:24:51My book?
00:24:54Gone.
00:24:56I'm sorry, Mom.
00:24:57Yeah.
00:24:58And your father?
00:25:00Poof.
00:25:02Gone.
00:25:05I've screwed everything up.
00:25:21Too bad we're not 16 yet.
00:25:24Yeah.
00:25:27I can't wait until we can go anywhere we want.
00:25:30Where would you want to go?
00:25:35I don't know.
00:25:38Sometimes I think anywhere but here would be good, but...
00:25:46Hey.
00:25:48Don't wait up for me.
00:25:49I'm staying at Tom's.
00:25:51Again?
00:25:53You'll be fine.
00:25:55You've been gone every night of this week.
00:25:57I work hard. I deserve a night out.
00:26:25Gina.
00:26:43Come on. We're late for school.
00:26:45I'm sick.
00:26:49You're not sick. You're fine.
00:26:51Stop.
00:26:53Gina.
00:26:54Get a hold.
00:26:55Whatever.
00:27:10Yeah. You know I like those.
00:27:13Yeah. The purple ones.
00:27:15Yeah.
00:27:16Oh, I gotta go.
00:27:18Hi. I'm here to see Mr. Edison.
00:27:23Your name?
00:27:24Shah. S-H-A-H.
00:27:27Name's not here.
00:27:29Right.
00:27:32I was just dropping off some software for a game.
00:27:35This is DigiToys. You just can't leave unsolicited software lying around here.
00:27:40Could I at least... I could just go inside and...
00:27:43Nope. Can't do that either.
00:27:45Right.
00:27:46Well, could I maybe just leave it here?
00:27:49Can't do that.
00:27:51Okay. Okay. You know what? I'll call.
00:27:53Yeah. Have a good day.
00:27:55Okay. Thank you.
00:27:56Have a good day.
00:27:57I'll see you later.
00:28:14Whoa.
00:28:17What the...
00:28:28How's your project going?
00:28:30I didn't do anything.
00:28:32If something's wrong with the stupid weeds, it's because your experiment needs serious work.
00:28:39It's based way too much on soft evidence and mushy-gushy feelings rather than actual research.
00:29:09How long is this gonna go on?
00:29:28I mean, look at Gina.
00:29:30She's out of school because of you.
00:29:33Me? Him?
00:29:43Monica and Gina, I'm far away selling my game. Miss you.
00:29:49Not sure when I'll be back, but must take action now.
00:29:53Please help your mother.
00:29:55And take care of each other.
00:30:23Day one.
00:30:39A recent disturbance to my plants has made this experiment a failure.
00:30:44All progress made over the past two months has been lost, and the plants are dead.
00:30:51The results are inconclusive.
00:30:54The nature of the disturbance is unknown, though this scientist has some idea of what happened.
00:31:01So I've redesigned the experiment.
00:31:03Four riboside data seedlings that Miss Bradley gave me will be planted in a cove of the forest.
00:31:09I chose the location so light, water, and soil conditions are equal.
00:31:15And I'll no longer use the cloth.
00:31:17Only human touch.
00:31:19I'll apply ten strokes daily on the two plants in the experiment group, and none on the control group.
00:31:29A little more.
00:31:36For now we'll do ten times in the experiment group, okay?
00:31:46I'm glad we're outside because that inside thing.
00:31:50Yeah.
00:31:51It wasn't working.
00:31:56Maybe you should try strawberries.
00:31:58Just because the raspberries grow in your backyard.
00:32:01No way.
00:32:02Raspberries are the perfect mix of sweet and sour.
00:32:05The good and the bad in one.
00:32:08But they're not growing.
00:32:10That's the funny thing.
00:32:11Raspberry bushes are almost like wheat.
00:32:14They grow anywhere.
00:32:15They multiply.
00:32:16Spread all over.
00:32:18But the berries.
00:32:20There has to be the right mix of sun and rain and soil for them to grow.
00:32:28They're impossible.
00:32:30Yeah, but when they do grow, it's magic.
00:32:45Could there be any finer place when the elephants are in space?
00:32:57Could there be any finer place when the elephants are in space?
00:33:10Pink and white and gray.
00:33:13Mostly so peaceful.
00:33:16Almost ghostly.
00:33:21Pink and white and gray.
00:33:24Mostly so peaceful.
00:33:28Almost ghostly.
00:33:32Floating, floating, floating, floating.
00:33:39Floating high.
00:33:55Oh, you got groceries.
00:34:04Gina, you're gross.
00:34:07Flo, so you can't just sit around like this.
00:34:10I can if Mom can.
00:34:12Mom's a grown-up.
00:34:14She can do what she wants.
00:34:16But, but, but you.
00:34:22Come on.
00:34:23Why?
00:34:24Because I'm telling you to.
00:34:26Come on.
00:34:32Let's go.
00:34:33No, I don't want to take a shower.
00:34:35One.
00:34:36Two.
00:34:37I don't want to.
00:34:38Three.
00:34:39Who's all over you?
00:34:40Flo, stop.
00:34:41I'm not dirty.
00:34:43You're filthy.
00:34:45Fifty seconds, okay?
00:34:47I took a shower last week.
00:34:53Okay, now close.
00:34:57Okay, now open.
00:34:59Okay, now open.
00:35:05Okay, now open.
00:35:14You said you wouldn't listen.
00:35:18What's she doing calling all the time?
00:35:20None of your goddamn business.
00:35:24Could there be any finer place
00:35:29when the elephants are in space?
00:35:36Could there be any finer place
00:35:40when the elephants are in space?
00:35:47Pink and white and gray
00:35:51mostly so peaceful
00:35:54almost go to sleep
00:36:20Day six.
00:36:21No flowers, no berries.
00:36:24Plant height is at six inches.
00:36:27Stem diameter is still at .3 inches.
00:36:31Leaf cover remains the same
00:36:33with no new stems, shoots, or flowers.
00:36:37No news from Dad.
00:36:40Mom is still sad.
00:36:52Oh.
00:36:54Hey.
00:36:55What?
00:36:56Come on, I need your help.
00:36:58With what?
00:36:59Clean all of this and hand me the broom, okay?
00:37:04I'll sweep, you clean.
00:37:07Throw this away.
00:37:09I'm not touching that.
00:37:13Just wash the dishes.
00:37:17Here, Mom, get that.
00:37:19Yeah!
00:37:25Good girl.
00:37:34Thanks for taking a look at the game.
00:37:36Of course.
00:37:37I'll make some phone calls, see what I can do.
00:37:39That'd be great.
00:37:43Well, it looks like you're nicely set up here.
00:37:46Yeah, if you want to work for the man.
00:37:48Right.
00:37:50Hey, uh, what happened with you guys?
00:37:54Everything seemed fine.
00:37:56Things have been bad for a long time.
00:38:00But with the kitchen, everything got even worse.
00:38:04You guys will be all right, right?
00:38:08I don't know, Amrish.
00:38:10Things are definitely broken.
00:38:19An emotion is a physical reaction to an outside event.
00:38:24But a feeling is something much deeper.
00:38:28It's how we experience the world in our own unique way.
00:38:36Now, I'm going to tell you a story.
00:38:39I'm going to tell you a story.
00:38:41I'm going to tell you a story.
00:38:43I'm going to tell you a story.
00:38:45In a unique way.
00:38:48Now, our feelings are partly stimulated by several chemicals in the brain.
00:38:52But we also feel things based on what?
00:39:01Yes, Zachary.
00:39:02Our surroundings.
00:39:04Yes, our surroundings greatly influence the way that we feel.
00:39:08No, I'm good.
00:39:14I'm done.
00:39:33It's still leaking.
00:39:34Doesn't your dad want to fix it?
00:39:37He's really busy with work right now.
00:39:40Hey, I could fix it.
00:39:41No, Gina.
00:39:42Gina, don't even try.
00:39:45It might just get worse.
00:39:46Gina, you have to get down.
00:39:48I want to see if I can fix it.
00:39:51Gina, get down.
00:39:52You're going to break something.
00:39:53You're not the boss of me.
00:39:54Gina, get down.
00:39:55No.
00:39:56Come on.
00:39:57Get down.
00:40:01Mom!
00:40:02Gina, are you okay?
00:40:03Mom, where are you?
00:40:04Hurry!
00:40:05Gina?
00:40:10I'm so upset.
00:40:12I don't know how everything got to this point.
00:40:15She hit the ground so hard.
00:40:19I'm glad Gina's okay.
00:40:23I feel so bad they're suffering.
00:40:25We're going to make it right, Nandini.
00:40:27We are.
00:40:29I'm sorry about the book.
00:40:31It's okay.
00:40:33I've mourned for long enough.
00:40:34Time to move forward.
00:40:40Tell the girls that I miss them.
00:40:43I'm sure they'd love to hear it from you.
00:40:45I will, Koal.
00:40:46When?
00:40:47When I have secured this family's future.
00:40:49Until then, it's pointless.
00:40:50That's not fair.
00:40:51I'm doing all of this for them, for us.
00:40:55I want to prove to you all that I am not worthless.
00:40:58Wait a minute.
00:41:00Koal has separate ways.
00:41:04No.
00:41:05We're fine without you.
00:41:06It's not that we need...
00:41:09Of course we want you here.
00:41:12Day 12.
00:41:13The vines are .85 inches taller and there is some new leaf cover.
00:41:20A scientist is supposed to make predictions based on empirical evidence.
00:41:24But only three more weeks until the fair.
00:41:28And still, no results.
00:41:32What if they don't grow in time?
00:41:36I heard Mom telling Dad we don't need him anymore.
00:41:39What's wrong with them?
00:41:50Mom made pancakes.
00:41:53Awesome.
00:42:02Careful.
00:42:04Careful.
00:42:15Just do it.
00:42:16The coffee will hop.
00:42:26More.
00:42:27More.
00:42:31Okay.
00:42:34Okay.
00:42:36Ready, set...
00:42:37Okay, now go.
00:42:38Ready.
00:42:43Okay, now stop.
00:42:46Tamodachi can now use body temperature and gestures to read mood too.
00:43:01Are you okay, Monica?
00:43:02Who, me?
00:43:03Yes, you.
00:43:04Yeah, I'm okay. Why?
00:43:08Carry on.
00:43:13Good morning, Bethany.
00:43:15How are you feeling?
00:43:17You are mad.
00:43:18You are sad.
00:43:20You are happy.
00:43:21Sad.
00:43:22Mad.
00:43:23But angry.
00:43:26Hey, you heard Tamodachi.
00:43:32Okay, can we turn that thing off?
00:43:38It's Monica's fault.
00:43:41Settle down, everyone.
00:43:43Alright, Zachary, I'm sure Tamodachi will be just fine after some small fixes.
00:43:50Okay, everybody, listen now.
00:43:53Listen to Monica as she presents her project.
00:43:56She's competing as an independent this year.
00:44:02Chill. It's fine.
00:44:04Come on.
00:44:14So, I decided to change a major variable in my experiment design.
00:44:18I decided to grow the bushes in their natural environment rather than inside.
00:44:24Honestly, I've already noticed that the plants from outside have a lot more energy.
00:44:30The plants from outside are much healthier than the ones that are grown in a hydroponic terrarium.
00:44:35The leaves are healthier.
00:44:37This isn't based on numbers. It's soft.
00:44:39Let her finish, Zachary.
00:44:42The stem diameter is much greater.
00:44:44You got it right.
00:44:45This experiment takes patience.
00:44:48How about the berries? Any flowers yet?
00:44:52I'm confident they'll grow.
00:45:30Mr. Hooper?
00:45:53Mr. Hooper?
00:46:00Mr. Hooper?
00:46:31Mr. Hooper?
00:46:39Hi. I'm Monica.
00:46:42The one with the raspberries?
00:46:46Raspberries?
00:46:47Yeah. You grew some seedlings for me.
00:46:52Oh, yes, yes.
00:46:54Seedlings in the trash.
00:46:57Terrible.
00:47:00Thank you for your help.
00:47:02You make it look so simple.
00:47:06But I'm not going to get any raspberries.
00:47:10Oh?
00:47:11I've gone through the scientific method and changed the design.
00:47:15Varied the number of strokes and placements.
00:47:17And I'm not going to get any raspberries.
00:47:19Oh?
00:47:20I've gone through the scientific method and changed the design.
00:47:24Varied the number of strokes and placements.
00:47:26It just seems like...
00:47:32Scientific method, huh?
00:47:34Yeah. I'm sure I'm doing it right.
00:47:39Can I ask you a question, Monica?
00:47:41What?
00:47:45Why do you love your raspberries?
00:47:48What do you mean?
00:47:49Why do you care about them?
00:47:50I'm trying to win the science fair.
00:47:52Show that if you touch them a certain way, they will grow.
00:47:56Oh, see, that's your problem.
00:47:59What do you mean?
00:48:04This forest, plants, trees, soil is alive.
00:48:13It's living and breathing.
00:48:16You can't measure life. You have to feel it.
00:48:22Yeah.
00:48:28Life. Funny thing that way.
00:48:33Yeah.
00:48:46Hello. Yes. My name is Manoj Shah.
00:48:49I have a game, a math game.
00:48:51It's specifically made for handheld devices.
00:48:53Hi. Hello. My name is Nandini Shah and I'm a freelance writer
00:48:58and I'm looking to pitch some food stories.
00:49:00Yes. It's a fantastic game. A great idea.
00:49:02Recipes, features.
00:49:04Flash memory. For all ages.
00:49:06But mainly for children in grades 5, 6 and 7 and 8.
00:49:10Yes. Manoj Shah. That's right.
00:49:13Manoj Shah. That's right.
00:49:14Yes. Nandini Shah. Yes.
00:49:17Looking for things now?
00:49:19Yes. Yes, they will. Indian from India.
00:49:22Well, maybe could I at least come by and drop off?
00:49:25Right. Right. Nothing right now.
00:49:28Right. Right. I absolutely understand.
00:49:31Yes. Yes, I can hold.
00:49:33Oh, okay.
00:49:36And who should I send that to?
00:49:39Right.
00:49:41Great.
00:49:43Day 24.
00:49:45I started this experiment with a hydroponics terrarium
00:49:48and got no results.
00:49:50I redesigned the project
00:49:52and moved the plants to the natural environment
00:49:55and still have gotten no results.
00:49:58Clearly, I have to try something different.
00:50:01Mr. Hooper says I have to sense it.
00:50:04But how? What is it I'm looking for?
00:50:08Maybe it's time to stop measuring and try something different.
00:50:38Day 25.
00:50:56I like the whole fusion thing. It's good.
00:50:59Thank you. Thanks so much for getting back to me.
00:51:02You had me on page one with the strawberry mango lassi.
00:51:05I traveled all over India and Nepal. Love that stuff.
00:51:07Which was your favorite?
00:51:09India and Nepal?
00:51:10Lassi.
00:51:11Oh. The, uh, the strawberry mango.
00:51:14Oh. Right. Sorry.
00:51:17I definitely think there's a market here.
00:51:19Great. I mean, I don't know what kind of deal you're thinking of,
00:51:21but I'm open to any kind of...
00:51:23Okay. Okay. Hold on. You're moving at the speed of light.
00:51:25Right. Sorry.
00:51:27Here's the deal. We're an Indian press.
00:51:30Usually people pay an upfront fee to have their books published here.
00:51:33You're right. I don't think I could put up anything.
00:51:38We also put out this magazine where we feature cooks like yourself.
00:51:42We take ten of your original recipes and we print them,
00:51:45and we pay you $3,000.
00:51:51Three?
00:51:52If people respond well to the recipes and we get enough pre-orders,
00:51:56then we can publish a book.
00:52:00It's nothing fancy, but it's, uh, it's still a book.
00:52:05Wow. I really thought I was done with this book thing, but this is...
00:52:09Uh, there's, uh, there's a caveat.
00:52:14A yes?
00:52:19I have to taste the food first.
00:52:21Oh. That's no problem. You come over to my house for lunch.
00:52:25Uh, you could just leave some at the office.
00:52:27No, no, no, no. Lunch at my house, please.
00:52:31Okay.
00:52:32Great.
00:52:33Strawberry mango lassi?
00:52:34Strawberry mango lassi.
00:52:35Wow.
00:52:50Hello?
00:52:51Hello?
00:52:56Hey, Amrish.
00:53:01You got me the meeting?
00:53:05An old friend?
00:53:07From college?
00:53:09Pitched to you both?
00:53:11Great. No, no, that's...
00:53:13That's great! That's...
00:53:15That's great! Thank you! Thank you, Amrish!
00:53:18Thank you!
00:53:19Thank you!
00:53:49Thank you!
00:55:50So, did they hire you?
00:55:53Not yet, but if this lunch goes well...
00:55:56Why does this guy have to come to our house anyways?
00:55:58Because he might help me get a job and publish my book!
00:56:03Does Dad know about it?
00:56:05No. We'll tell him if it works out.
00:56:20Why?
00:56:24Why did he lie?
00:56:27Why did Mom lie?
00:56:31Why did they lie?
00:56:38All I ever wanted to do was make them happy.
00:56:43But now they don't care about us.
00:56:47Now they're living away from each other.
00:56:53The flavors remind me of my days in Mumbai.
00:56:56It's incredible.
00:56:58Bombay Manchurian is one of my favorites.
00:57:00Yes.
00:57:01They combine so many complex tastes into one wonderful dish.
00:57:06It's a great combination.
00:57:08Yes.
00:57:09They combine so many complex tastes into one succulent experience.
00:57:20Girls.
00:57:23Girls, meet Dylan. This is Monica, Gina and Sarah.
00:57:28Hey, girls.
00:57:29Are you hungry? There's so much food.
00:57:31No.
00:57:33Okay, I better get going.
00:57:35But, Nandini, I absolutely want to feature you in our magazine.
00:57:39Oh!
00:57:40Our readers will love us.
00:57:42Thanks. Thank you.
00:57:44You're welcome.
00:57:47See you, girls.
00:57:48Help yourselves. I'll be right back.
00:57:53Damn.
00:57:56Your mom's already got a new guy.
00:57:58He's not her guy.
00:58:00All right, well, take care.
00:58:01Bye.
00:58:02So long.
00:58:03Okay.
00:58:04I'll be in touch, okay?
00:58:05All right.
00:58:06All right, thank you.
00:58:07Bye.
00:58:08What a meal.
00:58:09He's not our boyfriend, okay?
00:58:10Our dad is coming back soon.
00:58:13Oh.
00:58:32Manoj. Manoj, you can't believe it.
00:58:34They're going to have a party for me.
00:58:36A party for me.
00:58:38For the magazine.
00:58:40Yes.
00:58:42Well, if everything goes well...
00:58:47You're not sure?
00:58:48But we can all be together.
00:58:52Right.
00:58:53Okay.
00:58:54Not really.
00:59:06Day 36.
00:59:08My dad once told me that love,
00:59:11it's like the sun.
00:59:13It connects us all to each other.
00:59:15It's everywhere in everything we do.
00:59:18But what happens when love disappears?
00:59:22When it goes away?
00:59:24What is it that brings us all back together again?
00:59:28It isn't 10 strokes or 50.
00:59:31It's something deeper.
00:59:33Something inside each and every one of us.
00:59:39Day 37.
01:00:03So you can get your pizza crust ready made
01:00:06or from that store.
01:00:09Then add your share of peppers and jalapenos
01:00:12and garnish it with cilantro and green chilies
01:00:16and it's ready to go in the oven.
01:00:21Is she amazing or what?
01:00:23We're going to be circulating samples of her pizza
01:00:25and we're taking pre-orders for her cookbook.
01:00:28Enjoy.
01:00:48Drill, drill, drill, you know?
01:00:50And do it over and over again to sharpen the thinking muscles
01:00:53by doing it faster and faster and more and more.
01:00:55Hey!
01:00:56Earth to Minoj.
01:00:58Thanks, Minoj.
01:00:59That is how you pronounce it, right?
01:01:01Right.
01:01:02Listen, thanks for coming in.
01:01:04This game really isn't what we're all about.
01:01:08Hey, uh, you guys hungry?
01:01:12Why don't we grab some lunch?
01:01:15Oh, sure.
01:01:17Good.
01:01:22Ten pizzas.
01:01:23More than ten.
01:01:24Fifteen.
01:01:25Yeah, I put on seven pounds yesterday.
01:01:26No.
01:01:27You look great.
01:01:28It was worth it.
01:01:29I'm glad.
01:01:34We're doing the book.
01:01:35It's happening.
01:01:36It's a done deal.
01:01:37That's great.
01:01:38Yeah.
01:01:39Hey, Mom, let's go home now.
01:01:41Yeah, are you ready yet?
01:01:42Dylan, thank you for everything.
01:01:44Oh, it's not over yet.
01:01:45We're going to do a lot more with this book.
01:01:47Okay.
01:01:48All right, so I'm going to call you next week.
01:01:49All right.
01:01:50All right.

01:01:56Come on.
01:02:02Shit!
01:02:03I got you, sucker!
01:02:05You waxed him.
01:02:06Yes, I smoked you.
01:02:13So what did you think?
01:02:14About what?
01:02:15About the game.
01:02:16Oh, it's great.
01:02:17It's great fun.
01:02:18Exactly, man.
01:02:19It's fun.
01:02:20Stuff's supposed to be fun, you know?
01:02:22Kids want to play this game.
01:02:25And you don't think that kids will want to play my game?
01:02:29No.
01:02:33Well, you see, my game is a little different.
01:02:35It's an educational game.
01:02:37Come on, man.
01:02:39If you were Monica or Gina, would you want to play this or your thing?
01:02:45Exactly.
01:02:48Monica loves my game.
01:02:50Maybe she just loves you a little too much.
01:02:54Look, look, Caden, this sounds like a fun project.
01:02:57If I help, we work on this.
01:03:00Will you take another look?
01:03:02Of course.
01:03:04Okay.
01:03:09Listen, um...
01:03:12Do you have any job openings?
01:03:15Uh, you're a developer, right?
01:03:19Right.
01:03:21Actually...
01:03:23Wasn't it great?
01:03:24It was just amazing.
01:03:26We pre-sold enough.
01:03:27Dylan says we can sell more.
01:03:29This is so exciting.
01:03:32Everything is happening.
01:03:34Everything is happening.
01:03:36Oh, my God.
01:03:37Did you eat my pizza?
01:03:38You didn't tell me how wonderful it was.
01:03:40It was wonderful.
01:03:42It was wonderful.
01:03:43It's a great night.
01:04:03You want me to come with you?
01:04:05No.
01:04:07You can stay at our place.
01:04:10It's fine.
01:04:14Not again.
01:04:15Poor Sarah.
01:04:17Come, let's go.
01:04:21What's the matter?
01:04:22We had such a good night.
01:04:24It's a great night for all of us.
01:04:27No, just for you.
01:04:29What do you mean, just for me?
01:04:31Who cares about the night?
01:04:32I just hope Sarah's okay.
01:04:34I'm sure she'll be fine.
01:04:37Her mother's garbage.
01:04:38You know, I don't like her.
01:04:39She's always standing outside the house
01:04:41with that little skirt on and that cigarette.
01:04:44Like you're perfect.
01:04:45Yeah, we're trashy, too.
01:04:47No, we're not.
01:04:48Don't pretend like you're any better.
01:04:50What do you mean, am I any better?
01:04:51Why don't you go spend a week at her house
01:04:53and see how you feel?
01:04:54Maybe we will.
01:04:55You wouldn't even care.
01:04:56You'd go off with your boyfriend.
01:04:57He's not my boyfriend.
01:04:59She's just helping me.
01:05:01That's it.
01:05:02You're a liar.
01:05:03A big one.
01:05:04It's not like we're stupid.
01:05:05We're not idiots.
01:05:06Enough of this talk.
01:05:07I've had enough of both of you.
01:05:09We know that Dad is living here.
01:05:10And you know all about it.
01:05:12Yeah, Dad didn't go away.
01:05:14You're both liars.
01:05:15And we know you're separating.
01:05:17You just don't want to tell us.
01:05:19Monica, that's not true.
01:05:20We're not separating.
01:05:21Yeah, you are.
01:05:22Listen, I didn't want to tell you anything
01:05:24because I didn't...
01:05:25We're not sure what's going on.
01:05:27That's it.
01:05:28I hate you.
01:05:29I hate you!
01:05:30Monica!
01:05:31Monica, come back!
01:05:33Monica!
01:05:58She's confused and upset.
01:05:59I'm very worried.
01:06:00We'll look in the forest.
01:06:01Oh, you check at school, huh?
01:06:02Okay.
