throw it down the drain.

No. No, no, no, sir.

I won't throw it down the drain.

And I will get on that letter.

Yes. Princeton. More like Prince-tons

of dummies go there.

About your clothes...

Yes? Did you...

Uh...

Too sexy for academia?

Never mind.

No, no, no. What is it?

- Never mind!

- I don't...

Abby. You promised you wouldn't do this.

"Abigail continues her passion

for the study of the paranormal

"at the Kenneth P. Higgins

Institute of Science."

Come on, F7!

Are you kidding me?

Hello?

I've been waiting a long time.

Has been a while, hasn't it?

Hope you brought me more than one wonton.

Excuse me? Oh.

Huh.

Well, well, well.

Erin.

Abby.

Bennie.

Yes, I know who you are, Bennie. Can I just...

Can I have my lunch

that I've been waiting an hour for?

You know they make

smaller headphones now, right?

It's an advance in science.

Thank you for asking.

Probably the future you're looking at.

Here you go.

Why don't you show Miss Gilbert to the door.

Oh, it's just the same door we came in from.

- Yeah, I know how to get out. It's figurative.

- It's really not that hard.

- No, I'm okay.

- Don't.

- I tried.

- Poorly.

You put our book online

without my permission.

I don't need your permission.

Of course you need my permission.

I wrote that book with you.

My name is on it.

No. Absolutely not.

That book is a whole new

revenue stream for me.

And I'm, like, one-tenth away from

getting a new mini fridge in here.

Look, I am up for tenure right now.

Ooh, "I'm up for tenure."

And if my colleagues at Columbia University

Google my name,

that is the first thing that comes up.

Along with a ghost emoji now,

thank you very much,

- ...that does a little dance.

- You know what?

That book was our baby.

And you abandoned that baby

before it even learned to fly!

Okay, well, books can't fly.

And neither can babies, so...

You don't know. I'll tell you what.

If I had a human baby that could fly,

I wouldn't be telling the press about it.

If I had a flying baby,

I'd zip this, and so would you.

There is no experimental backing

for anything in that book.

And it makes me look like a crazy person.

- God! Are you kidding me?

- What?

I got one wonton!

I got a tub of soup,

and I got one split wonton.

Look at that, just floating there.

I'm sorry you're having

a soup crisis right now.

There's not even any meat in there.

That's just a carrot.

Abby, please.

- Yes.

- Abby!

I got one wonton!

What do I have to do?

I will take my top off for Bennie

if it gets me three more wontons.

I swear to God.

You carry a lot of tension in your shoulders.

I'm sorry, hello? Who are you?

Holtzmann. Virgo.

Avid skier. Gluten-full.
