Is that the last of the milk?

- Um, no. - Is there enough left

for cereal or just a splash left for a cup of coffee?

Coffee?

Whatever, man, if I can't make breakfast with it, that counts as finished.

You get more on the way home.

Fine.

And don't be late for work.

Yes, mom.

Imagine being able to provide radiation

therapy targeted to the cellular level.

This kind of precision

provides us with endless possibilities.

What we are working on will revolutionize health care.

I would like to thank Dean Smith and everyone

at the college for this recognition and for the support that they've given me,

which makes this possible.

Toast these tomorrow and they'll be fine.

Here comes your fan club.

Dr. Devlin.

Oh, goodness.

It is years yet that you can call me Dr.

Professor, can I come talk to you about my quiz grade?

Yeah. Go to my office hours tomorrow.

Thank you.

A year ago I was her

now I have office hours.

Welcome to step one on the ladder of success.

These weren't given that were fresh.

Who the hell are you?

Nobody.

Sure John had more publications last year,

but nobody's secured this much money

in a lump sum in over a decade.

They think too much about the theoretical.

People pay for applications.

“Not A Fright” by The Square Feet.

Can I borrow 100 bucks?

No. What for?

You remember my buddy Aaron?

He's starting a business,

and says I can get in on the ground floor with just a $100 investment.

I'm not letting you throw away 100 bucks on some fool idea that Aaron has.

Is a food truck.

People make so much money on food checks nowadays.

Didn't you just get paid?

No. Didn't you?

Yeah, but not enough. Come on Jackie.

I want to start my own thing.

Be my own boss.

This isn't your thing. It's Aaron's thing.

Stick with the job you have.

I'm not trying to work for an auto parts store for the rest of my life.

I have dreams.

Dale people like us don't get to have dreams.

We have each other, and that's enough.

But I'm bored.

Of course, work is boring.

That's why they have to pay you to go.

I don't want to be stuck living with my sister for the rest of my life either.

Perfect.

Come with me.

Help me sit him up, and then I'll call the campus cops.

What happened?

Wandered in here, drunk I suppose.

- I'm not drunk. - Started spouting, all sorts of nonsense.

I couldn't get him to leave.

Where's my money?

He just sort of stumbled over and started puking.

Supposed to give me money.

I need you to send someone fast.

Hey, Sarge.

What's your name?

I think he's drunk. Joey.

Hi, Joey. I'm Jackie.

It's all going to be okay.

I'm not drunk.

Just feel like shit.

Supposed to pay me?

If somebody owes you something, you can tell the cop when he gets here.

What's he talking about now?

He's not making much sense.

Well, since you're here, you might as well clean that up.

Just a little further and we'll get you into a nice, warm shelter.

She stole my stuff.

No one wants your stuff.

The work we do in this lab is confidential.

Okay.

We don't let just anyone in here.

I usually have my students do the cleanup.

Not very well.

Exactly.

But now you're here.

Sign this and I can get the place cleaned for real.

What am I signing?

A non-disclosure agreement.

You promise not to talk about what we're doing in this lab.

Yeah, I know what an NDA is.

It's not like I understand what I'm looking at.

Of course you don't.

You're a janitor.

But I need you to sign it anyway.

So, Jackie.

I'll get them to add your name to the swipe access.

Don't touch anything.

Just mop the floors and empty the basket.

Okay.

And get rid of that guy's garbage before you go.

You know, I don't mind this whole you cook, I clean rule,

but do you really have to dirty every freaking dish while you do it?

Whatever you love my food.

Shit, shit, shit.

What is it? The sink is leaking again.

I told you to let me fix it.

The landlord is an idiot.

Yeah, well, that's what we pay him for.

You can stand on your principles, or we can have a kitchen that works.

Oh, my God.

Can you please let me fix this?

Fine.

You're in a shitty mood today.

What's wrong with you?

Excitement at work.

Isn't that better than boring?

Not when it involves vomit.

A homeless vet. He was distraught and I helped calm him down.

Oh, that's nice.

Turn it on.

Off. Turn it off.

Turn it off.

I don't think it really helped that much, though.

No one cared about him,

not even the cop that took him away.

You cared.

Turn it on.

I don't think my caring matters.

If you're the only person that showed him

kindness today, then it mattered.

Stop being so wise.

You have better things to do.

I've got this.

Depends on your definition of better.

You work in there, right?

You invent things. Me?

Don't do that.

My dad's a janitor, and he's the most amazing guy I know.

Would I know him?

No, not here.

At a university, though. Where I went to undergrad.

I never would have been able to afford college at all

if it weren't for his benefits.

It's not good enough to be free,

you still have to be smart enough to get in.

I mostly work hard.

How do you know you can make it through college?

I wasn't thinking about it that way.

I knew I wanted to help people and I liked tinkering with stuff.

So I just kept working until I got here.

I'm better off just being a janitor.

Be a janitor if you want.

But you're not “just” anything.

Hey! What are you doing?

God, you scared me.

Well, you're not supposed to be here, so that's me doing my job.

Oh, no, I am. I'm with facilities.

Can I see some I.D.?

Well, no one's supposed to be here without Professor K or her grad students.

She made me sign her form and then told me to mop.

Well, I'll have to verify that.

It's clean enough anyway.

Swipe your badge.

Am I good?

Yeah.

I had to check. No hard feelings?

We're all just doing our jobs.

Um... hi?

Security just chased me out of your lab.

I thought you were allowed in.

He didn't know.

But it got me thinking,

I have no idea what you do.

I can't really go into details, but...

We're working in radiation delivery.

You're building a ray gun?

I wouldn't call it a gun.

Portable X-rays and things like that.

Less “Teenagers From Outer Space” and more of a tricorder?

God, that's a classic.

I didn't take you for a geek.

My best friend in the Army was always making us

watch 50s sci fi on movie night.

Well, I'd love to build a tricorder,
