You're a creep, aren't you? You've been... You've been following me. - No, I just noticed the book. - You just saw the corner of it. How did you know that? - I'd seen it before. - Twelve years ago in college. Sitting on the couch of a TA I was trying to make, waiting for her to come back out of the bathroom, hoping she'd have a condom. Somehow my unconscious had served that up. A memory I had never even recorded. Or was it there the whole time and all I needed was the access? If you're writing a paper, that's not the book I'd use. Well, who asked you? Hastings has his oral history. I'd start there. Interesting point. Grammatically, this guy was an idiot, which sort of gives credence to the theory that one of the clerks he had fired actually wrote most of this guy's major opinions. You could Google the clerk's sons, they'd love to talk to you. Exonerate their dad. That'd give you something that no one else has... Information from the odd museum show, a half-read article, some PBS documentary... it was all bubbling up in my frontal lobes, mixing itself together into a sparkling cocktail of useful information.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. - You don't even know what it is. - You're still dealing. Brother, I am light years from that now. I've been doing, uh, some consulting for a pharmaceutical company. What, like some offshore lab making fake Viagra? Come on, Vern. No. This is an exclusive product that's coming on stream next year. They've had clinical trials and it's FDA approved.

Vern, look at me. Do I look good to you? I'm broke and I'm depressed off my ass. I don't think that my life's gonna take some sudden upswing - into fame and fortune by taking some shiny, brand-new designer drug. Gant. When? Tell him we can't do that. No, you tell him.

He walked out on her, if you really want to know. But what do you care, man?

- So. - So... How's Melissa doing? - Here you go. - Thanks. Wouldn't know. I don't see her. She moved upstate. She got some kind of Internet home sales kind of job. Couple kids. Couple kids. Who's the husband?

I'm behind. I'm behind on my book. And, uh, it's pretty well polluting my days and nights, if you really want to know. - Well, how much have you written of it? - Not one word. - Creative problems, huh? - Yeah. Mm-hm.

They've identified these receptors in the brain that activate specific circuits. And you how they say that we can only access 20 percent of our brain? Well, what this does... it lets you access all of it.

How could she be a failure, too? She'd been so smart.
