Russian. He needs to argue
like he needs to breathe.
All l am saying is that civilization
crumbles whenever we need it most.
ln the right situation...
...we are all capable
of the most terrible crimes.
To imagine a world
where this was not so...
...where every crisis did not result
in new atrocities...
...where every newspaper
is not full of war and violence....
Well, this is to imagine a world
where human beings cease to be human.
While l'll give you that we still retain
some basic animal instincts...
...you must admit we're not the same
animal we were a few thousand years ago.
-True.
-Read Piaget or Kohlberg...
...or Maslow, Graves, Wilber,
and you'll see we're still evolving.
Our consciousness is changing.
Five hundred years ago,
postmodern feminists didn't exist...
...yet one sits right beside you today.
While that fact may not undo all the terrible
things that have been done in this world...
...at least it gives me reason to believe
one day things may be different.
-Thank you, doctor.
-You're welcome, ambassador.
Excellent.
Ben, of all the women
you've brought into our home...
...this is the one
we permit you to marry.
Hey, now, look.
l've been watching
the way you look at each other.
-Oh, so beautiful and smart.
-You see, this is what happens.
They say what they like in this household,
and then they claim diplomatic immunity.
-Think of the children you could have.
-Enough. Enough.
l had a terrific time.
Your friends are wonderful.
Well, thank you for being my date.
And for what you said tonight.
What?
No, l can't do this.
No. That's--
But that's-- But that's fine.
l'm sorry...
...but l really need us
to stay what we are.
You're my best friend,
and l can't lose that.
Hey. Look, l....
l just took advantage of a drunk woman,
and l'm sorry.
-Now, can you walk?
-Hey!
l can.
Hey.
Carol Bennell?
l'm sorry to bother you so late.
l need to ask you a few questions
for the Census Department.
We're doing a census
of your district this month.
Not the extended paper census, but a quick
door-to-door version to update our records.
-At this time of night?
-Deadline.
We're working all night now.
You're my last house.
l saw your light. l came a few times.
Listen, let me get that.
And then you can ask me through the door.
Hey!
We're sorry. All circuits are busy.
Please hang up and try your call again.
Hey, Ben.
lt's me.
l just-- Somebody just scared
the shit out of me.
Hey. Morning.
Hey.
-What did the police say?
-Not that much.
-Carol, you're not going to work.
-l've got back-to-backs all day.
At least stay and have some breakfast.
l cooked pancakes.
What?
The thawing in tension between
Washington and Tehran...
...over the enrichment of nuclear fuel
was one of the first steps...
...by the U.S. to relax years....
Morning, Mom. On the way to school.
I still miss you. Love you. Bye.
Sorry l'm late.
Courtney Jones canceled.
So did Chris Cook.
What about Wendy Lenk?
l haven't heard from her.
Maybe it's that flu going around.
l'll call her.
Mr. Lenk, this is Dr. Bennell.
l was hoping l could speak with your wife.
This is her cell phone l'm calling.
She's asleep right now.
ls everything all right, Mr. Lenk?
Everything's fine,
better than it's been in a long time.
Wendy's fine now.
I'll give her the message you called,
and she'll tell you herself.
-Mr. Lenk?
-Yes?
lf l don't hear from your wife soon,
l will be calling back. Do you understand?
You'll hear from her
by the end of the day.
lt's my husband.
Ben, they can't all be psychotic.
What if what they're saying is real?
Have you noticed anything?
l have.
What?
He seems a little disconnected.
-Hey, Carly.
-l thought you might like some tea.
Thanks.
Would you keep trying my ex-husband
until you get through? Okay?
-lt's important that l speak with him.
-All right.
lt's new.
Like that orange pekoe you like.
Tell me what you think.
Hey.
Okay, dig this.
Now, the
