someone's not a genius?

You think I'm especially

not a genius?

I know w...

You didn't even have

to think about it, did you?

Well, I just don't use

that word lightly.

I have to go, Eli.

Margot?

Uh-huh.

May I come in, please?

How are you, my darling?

Margo was married

to the writer and neurologist

Raleigh St. Clair.

I'm fine, thank you.

You need to eat something.

May I make you dinner?

No, thank you.

She was known

for her extreme secrecy.

For example,

none of the Tenenbaums knew

she was a smoker, which she

had been since the age of 12.

Norwere they aware

of her first marriage

and divorce to

a recording artist in Jamaica.

She kept a private studio

in Mockingbird Heights

under the name "Helen Scott."

She had not completed a play

in seven years.

ofDudley Heinsbergen.

All right, Dudley

make yours like mine.

Raleigh's next book was

on the subject

of a condition he called

"Heinsbergen Syndrome."

Where's that red one

going to go?

Done.

Good.

Very good.

My goodness.

How interesting. How bizarre.

Dudley suffers

from a rare disorder

combining symptoms

of amnesia, dyslexia

and color blindness.

He has a highly acute

sense of hearing.

There is also evidence of...

I'm not color blind, am I?

I'm afraid you are.

Ari, fire alarm! Let's go!

Out you go!

Let's go!

Uzi, emergency! Let's go!

Uzi... what did I just say?!

Look alive!

Fire!

Chas's wife Rachael

was killed in a plane crash

the previous summer.

What about Buckley?

It's too late. You forgot him.

Buckley! Buckley!

No elevator! There's a fire.

Go, go!

Go, go, go, go, go!

Go, go, go, go, go!

Chas and their two sons,

Ari and Uzi

were also on the flight

and survived

as did their dog

who was discovered in his cage

several thousand yards

from the crash site.

Four minutes, 48 seconds.

We're all dead,

burnt to a crisp.

Over the last six months

he had become increasingly

concerned with their safety.

We left Buckley.

It doesn't matter.

Etheline became

an archaeologist

and had overseen excavations

for the Department of Housing

and the Transit Authority.

Apropos of my question

regarding l-40

slash l-9 adjustments...

um...

She taught a bridge class

twice a week

with her friend and business

manager, Henry Sherman.

It would probably be

advantageous

for your marital status

to be legally established

as single

in light of the circumstances.

What do you mean?

I mean for tax purposes.

But I thought...

- Etheline...

- Yes?

Will you marry me?

I...

I love you, uh...

Did you already know that?

No, I didn't.

Since her separation

from her husband

she had had many suitors...

... but had not considered

a single one until this moment.
