Hey, bro.

Deborah.

- Hank, great to meet you.

Hey there, partner.

Hank.

Great, great, great.

Hank.

- Hey, partner.

Oh, hey.

- Hey.

Jacob. Great to meet you.

Nice.

Missy.

- Great to meet you.

Hi.

- How you doin'?

Ah, the sister.

Alright. I've heard so much

about you.

All good things.

Hey there, Professor Turner,

sir.

It's great to meet you,

I'm Hank.

What do you drink?

That's totally

your little sweet spot!

Oh that's so

your little sweet spot!

Can't breathe!

Can't breathe!

- Breathe!

Okay, boys!

Oh my goodness, you boys!

So, Poppy, the Utley's are

coming over tomorrow night?

Inshallah.

That means hopefully

in Arabic.

Actually, it means

"God willing".

No.

They're still over

in Edgemont, right

Yep! Right down the street.

God! Elizabeth Utley

was, like, the most beautiful

woman in the world.

Still is.

So, uh...

Professor Turner, sir,

you, uh...

still teach at Stanford?

Uh... in name only,

at this point, Hank.

Yeah, Poppy got

kinda burned

in the whole Iraq deal.

That had nothing to do with it.

Sure it did.

Not every international

studies hotshot

left his department to go work

on the Iraqi sewage system.

Army... not sewage system,

army.

Yeah, most of them

just wrote op-eds.

That's why most of them

still have jobs...

that pay money.

Deborah.

What?

You still get up to Palo Alto

about once a week, though,

right Poppy?

Yeah, they let him keep

his seminar.

They let you keep

your bachelor pad, too?

Hah, good question.

I still have the apartment,

yeah.

Any cutie post-docs

this year?

Nina...

Just asking.

I didn't get burned

in anything.

So uh... Professor Turner,

sir... you...

you ever actually been

to Iraq?

Well... the New York Times

always said...

I know what the New York

Times always said...

That you personally disbanded

the Iraqi army.

Get outta town,

that was you?

Hey, baby, didn't we see that

on the TV?

We made a lot of mistakes,

Hank,

but that was not one of 'em.

Put simply, there never was

an Iraqi army to disband.

No no no,

I know your argument,

I read your book.

The Kurds and the Shi'a would

never have stood

for a Sunni majority

in the army

and there were way too many

Sunni officers to begin with,

and anyway, the army

disbanded itself once...

Could we please

talk about something else?

No, let's talk about this.

Can't keep up, Linds?

Don't want to, Nin.

I mean, yeah, we can talk

about something else.

Uh... how's yoga?

Cuz you look great.

Thanks, you too.

Yoga's good. It's fine,

you know.

Had a couple of

big name clients recently

which is nice...

and some referrals, and...

Oh yeah? Who?

What?

Who are

the big name clients?
