Every damn game.
Oooh.
Oh man.
Oh crap, ow.
Tight hamstrings? No.
I'm just noticing all the places I missed when I was shaving.
Oh for the love of god.
Ugh.
Thanks for coming in.
Okay we've got a lovely test subject, Mirabelle, hooked up to a series of electrodes.
Hi.
- Hi.
-Wendy.
Mirabelle.
Great.
- So, Wendy.
-Yeah.
The choice before you today is to sit alone with your thoughts, no cellphones, no Internet, no magazines, etcetera.
Or, to press this button, sending a jolt of electricity through Mirabelle's body.
Um, just so I'm clear, I sit alone with my thoughts or I press that button.
Yes.
Oh no, no no no, not just yet.
Okay.
I'm just going to go into the other room and um you just see how long you can Okay, okay, Wendy.
-Yes.
Every time you press the button the level of electricity going through Mirabelle's body goes up, so you want to really think about whether or not - Okay, okay, why? -Why? - Why did you press the button? -Why did you press the button? I did it because you said to listen to the thoughts in my head.
Hello, press the button, okay.
- And then.
-Okay.
- Okay.
-Just, thank you.
How's it going out there? Yeah, it's great.
Great, thanks.
Um, Wendy.
Yes.
In some of these studies, the people don't even press the button at all.
They-they only think about pressing the button? And you don't even have to think about the button, you can think about whatever you want.
No.
- Okay.
- Oh, thought about pressing the button! It was just ugh.
Okay.
Sorry, you know what I was doing there, I wanted to see, are you working button? Before you left the room.
- Wendy.
-Yeah? If you don't stop pressing the button I'm going to have to remove you from the study.
It's okay, I'm okay.
Because if Mirabelle gets shocked one more time, she's going to pass the approved legal limit for electrical torture.
Whatsup? All clear? Yes.
Okay.
I'm not gonna do it.
Unless you really want to press the button.
- But - Yes? you've got to really want to press the button before you press the button.
I really wanna press that button.
Great, sit with that feeling.
Wow, wow.
Stop stop stop stop it! Hello! Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? - Hello.
- Hello! - Hello! -Hello? - Hello.
-Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Oh.

You can do that now.
Ah I can't! Wow, okay.
Ah so ah Donna, you got a promotion or something at work, right? Yeah um, I have to tell you that I would be gay in a heartbeat.

'Cause I want you to know something.
I'm fluid like that, I'm really fluid like that and I'm really like open.
I don't wanna kiss you.
Yeah but if you wanted to, you could.
Okay okay, uh Donna, Donna, very nice of you to offer but I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to.
Donna don't be an idiot.
Just because she's a lesbian doesn't mean she wants to kiss every woman in the bar, right? Thanks Liz.
Thank you.
But you wanna kiss me, right? No.
I just kissed Trish and I had a good time.
I just kissed Trish and I had a good time.
We just kissed Trish we had a good time.
I'm in a monogamous relationship.
You know I have to be honest with you I-I really don't know how you do it with two.
It is bankrupting us.
Daycare is so expensive and of course they're both fussy eaters turn their noses up at anything that's not organic.
- And then yesterday - What? Max got into the cupboard where we keep the winter clothes.
- Pooped all over everything.
-That's disgusting.
Now we need to replace hats, coats, booties, the whole deal.
Sometimes I wanna kill them.
But then I look at their little faces and I fall in love with them all over again.
- I know, I know, me too.
-They're so adorable.
Lola, Max.
Excuse me I just have to, get a, sorry.

No WiFi in here? This house is amazing! Thank you.
Ohoh.
I just I just can't believe it! Likeyou! You own your own place.
I know! Oh, I mean prices in this town are outrageous.
Ugh I know, oh tell me about it.
I mean, no really, you have no idea how hard it was to ask my parents for the money for the down payment it's like, ugh, you know, like they're busy people and I had to call them up and they were in Majorca at the time.
Anyway, but, I mean we all agreed like I don't need to be renting anymore like I'm 40, so it's timeI have a place.
Why, why do that.
Come visit sometime.
My parents are throwing me a housewarming.
This office needs to hit our target by end of year.
So where do we think there's gonna be room for growth in the next five years? Lisa? What do you think? Okay, well I'm gonna think of something.
I'll just think, um okay.
I gotta say something, I'll say something smart.
Just close my eyes and think to myself and say something smart.
Oh, what's this? I think I feel a whisker coming in on my chin.
It feels so good to rub it with my thumbs.
Rub, rub, rub, rub, rub.
Okay, focus.
Don't blow this, don't blow it! Mary! Stop doing that while I'm trying to think.
Oooh, Mary just got in trouble.
But Mary's so funny.
Listen to her making them jokes.
Mary's making them laugh, she's on a roll.
It's Mary.
I have tweezers if you want.
- I don't have a fucking whisker.
-Okay.
The place looks great.
Yeah it's fantastic.
- Really looking good.
-Yeah thanks.
Um, I just wanted to let everybody know that Greg and I have decided to open up our relationship.
Oh, good for you.
Okay.
Thanks for um letting us know.
Great.
Yeah, so, you know, Rachel if you for example were to lean in and kiss me, I would be totally okay with that.
Okay, great.
Okay super.
So anyway, gang, um Tim and I I don't wanna make it a big deal, you know, in anyway at all, it's just, you know, like we're just broaching a new and sensuous horizons together.
With others and strangers, acquaintances, friends.
Friends.
Friends.
Ah Tracy, how-how is that new job going? Oh it's going really well, thanks.
Really, really well.
Greg I just want to be really open about the fact that I'm feeling some really seductive energy coming from Tim right now.
Yeah I feel that.
Wow, okay, you know what, I've got an idea, how about we just um talk about anything other than your open relationship, sound good? Fantastic.
What a great idea.
Totally, totally.
Guys, totally.
Like, again, like I don't wanna make a huge thing of it, obviously, I just think that we should, you know, chat about it for like 20 to 30 minutes so we're all on the same page.
Okay, I'm just gonna step out for a bit, okay? Oh, fuddy duddy.
Babe? Wow, you know, with Tim gone it feels like like anything could happen.
Anything will happen, saddle up over here.

It's like she knew what to do.
Maddox got early acceptance into French Montessori.
How about you Maryanne, how's little Sam doing? Oh, well, um he's ah still not toilet trained and he's using water rings.
That's fine.
I wouldn't worry about it.
Well not every child can be gifted, you know? They all develop at their own rate.
Exactly.
