:18:00
Are you mad at me?
:18:03
l told you, l do not respond
to ''Are you mad at me?''

:18:06
l'm not your kindergarten
teacher.

:18:08
l thought we'd been over this
a thousand times already.

:18:10
You can't go to law school.
:18:12
You ''don't want to go
to law school,'' remember?

:18:14
l know. lt's only nights.
l wouldn't have to stop working.

:18:18
l'm going to put these down.
l'll be right back.

:18:21
No, l want to talk about this.
:18:24
l told you, it's my parents.
Okay?

:18:26
They never shut up about it.
:18:28
lf l don't go, they won't let me
be a journalist anymore.

:18:30
''Let you''?
You're 24 years old, Stephen!

:18:33
You don't know how things go
where l grew up, Caitlin.

:18:35
There are rules there.
:18:37
lf your son's not a doctor or a lawyer,
you keep your curtains closed.

:18:40
You're writing
for The New-fucking-Republic.

:18:42
lsn't that good enough?
:18:44
Not in Highland Park.
:18:48
- l'm sorry, l--
- Stop apologizing for everything!

:18:51
l was looking through your mail.
You should be pissed at me.

:18:54
l'm not.
:18:56
You're going
to throw this out, right?

:18:58
l can't. l'm sorry.
:19:05
Every station on the radio
was talking about it--

:19:08
Mike Tyson
biting Evander Holyfield.

:19:10
And these are supposed to be
news stations,

:19:12
so on Tuesday l started
calling a few of them,

:19:15
and l finally
got through to one.

:19:18
A Bible-talk station
in Kentucky.

:19:21
And l managed
to convince the screener

:19:24
that l was a behavioral
psychologist

:19:26
who ''specializes
in human-on-human biting.''

:19:29

:19:31
l told the guy that l'd done
all this extensive research

:19:34
on people who chomp flesh
under extreme stress--

:19:37
And what did they say?
:19:39
They put me on the air,
l took calls for 45 minutes.

:19:41
Oh, my God!
:19:44
Where does he find
these people?

:19:47
lt's kind of stupid,
l know. lt's silly.

:19:50
l'll probably just kill it.
