The Female Brain Page #3

---

thousand years ago

this behavior was useful

but today it probably

just seems like

we're solving problems

that don't exist.

Why don't you quit

already?

You could retire,

be a basketball wife.

- Oh.

- You could start

a jewelry line.

Be on VH1.

Oh, yeah, or I could not

set women back 60 years

and could work hard

for another year or so.

Start my own company,

and like..

...maybe I could even

give you a job.

'Cause like how much longer

can you do this, you know.

Will you please

just let me write you

a check for that?

I'm not taking your money.

You know that. Okay?

I'm not going to be

a stereotype.

No one thinks

you're a gold digger.

Gold diggers

don't wake up at 6 a.m.

or carry briefcases.

- I love you.

- I love you too.

Oh! Hey, Dave!

Come on in!

Don't get up, man!

I need you to rest!

I'm sorry.

I thought I was..

I thought I was

unlocking the door.

I've got 50 bucks on you

scoring 20 points tonight!

My man.

- You -- you bet on me?

- Oh, absolutely.

You think I can pay

my bills with this

shitty job?

Window -- windows

look good, man, you..

So clean!

Birds hit 'em

all the time.

They think it, they think

it's just air.

That's how good you are..

He can't hear me.

That's stupid.

Julia, did you know

we've been going

since 7 a.m.

and it's now 3 p.m.?

No. No.

Do you need a coffee

or something?

No, thanks.

Okay, so in this test

the females

were much better

at identifying fear

and sadness

on people's faces,

like, much more.

Yes, and males were better

at identifying anger.

We know that.

Got it.

Noted. Smoothie?

- This disparity is crazy.

- Berry Blast?

You know, I think

we should administer

the test again.

Next week.

Just to make sure

that this is alright.

'Cause something's wrong.

- I'll schedule it now.

- No, please.

Please, can we take a break?

Please?

I can't understand

how you're not hungry

because I'm..

I physically can't see.

What do you mean?

I've already had

breakfast and lunch.

That weird grey drink

is food?

Oh, yeah. That's Soylent.

It's, um..

It's basically

a complete meal

replacement.

That way I don't have

to go to

the grocery store

and buy food and put it

in a bag and unwrap it

and chew it.

I mean, who has time

for that?

Everyone has time

for that.

- That can't be healthy.

- Huh?

- Mmh? What?

- It's got every vitamin

and mineral you need.

Okay. How about

we take a walk?

Get a little vitamin D,

you know?

Julia, not all of us

are robots!

Hey, don't manipulate me

with children.

You're a girl,

you should be better

at identifying sadness

on people's faces,

according to your study.

- Fine. Fifteen minutes.

- Yeah!

I heard "Fine,"
