that's what I heard!

Come on! You're no fun.

Just tell me.

So what's your deal anyway?

Are you dating someone?

- Abby, that's not work talk.

- Okay.

In one of your studies

you concluded

that females

are more productive

when they bond

because it reduces cortisol.

I don't date,

I refuse to be

a puppet

of my neurochemicals.

So you've never been

in love?

You know, our brains

are designed to trick us

into that kind of thing

and I'm not falling for it.

- So, do you --

- Of course.

Were you gonna say

masturbate?

No, I was gonna say

get sad

but maybe for you

those go hand in hand.

Yeah, I get everything

I need.

I get oxytocin

from my dog.

I get serotonin

from hanging out

with my friends.

I get endorphins

from the gym.

Productivity

and cooperation

makes dopamine

and I get that from work,

so I have everything

I need.

I am a complete

emotional equilibrium.

Whoa! That's like

a total life hack.

Mm-hm.

Knowing your brain's

primordial neurology

is very liberating.

It -- it makes life

so much easier.

I don't have to sit around

and worry about

if a guy likes me

and wonder

what his motives are

and -- and get

all insecure.

And -- and, like, reread

a text fifty times.

- It's the worst.

- It's insane.

- Yeah.

- So, I know how

the brain works.

So this whole

being a girl thing..

I beat it.

Okay, good talk.

You know the sun

causes cancer.

It's not normal.

Alright, people.

So, the campaign

is unlimited data.

And we all know

that nobody likes

unlimited data more..

Than the ladies.

- That is correct.

- Sorry.

Wh -- why are we saying

"The ladies?"

Zoe, come on, every girl

I know texts me

like ten times more

than I text her.

It's like,

and it's not,

and it's not just

like, girls I'm dating,

it's like my mom.

Does -- does it,

does it have

to be gender specific?

Yeah. That's what

the client asked for.

Like, they said

focus on women.

Great. Cool. Okay. Yeah.

Alright, I'll pitch first.

Get ready

to write this down.

It's gonna be hot.

How about, girl

looking down at her phone

texting and it says, um

"For every text

he sends you

send him 40 in return?"

- Unlimited data.

- That's good.

Good, right?

Alright, good.

Write it down.

Don't worry, be texty.

That's...hilarious.

I didn't say

write it down.

What if, um, what if

we did some..

What if tried to focus

more on connection?

Mmm.

Well, you know,

because with this plan

you can talk longer.

You can FaceTime longer.

You -- you can

send more pictures.

Um..

It's not

write-it-down level

but like, uh,

I know you've got more.

Yeah.

In prehistoric times,

females were

much more vulnerable.

And the ones with strong
