Adam and Olive - Their Full Story (The Love Hypothesis)

Can I kiss you, please? Excuse me? I accept your proposal. What proposal? To deceive your friend into believing that I'm your love interest. Why are you helping me? Why would you agree to do this? I believe that there is an opportunity for us to help each other. I'm so sorry. Dr. Evil. The consensus is I have no roots here. No house, no family. I'm sorry. Dr. Carlson. You kissed me. No. One who still had a year left of her doctoral study here might change their minds. I asked you first if I could kiss you. You asked and then you didn't wait for my consent. Why don't you just get a real girlfriend? I suppose the same reason you don't get a real boyfriend. Relationships are timeless. I did. You did not. I did. I didn't? No. So I can help you deceive your friend. Sounds really bad when you put it like that. I thought I heard you say yes. I was pretty sure that you said yes. I didn't. Which gives us one month to convince your friend and my colleagues that we are in love. It happened very fast. So that was my mistake. Well, that is something we can't agree on. So we're fake dating. Yes. So I had to- Kiss the first random person you saw in the hallway to throw her off. So if you'll excuse- Oh, I thought you were going in for a hug. Without their consent. Yeah, that's correct. You have the diet of a 12-year-old schoolboy. It's very alarming. Can I get the velvet caramel and white chocolate bliss with extra whipped cream? Sure. Oh. And can I get chocolate sprinkles on there, too? You're together? I mean, you're paying together? Yes. Why don't you put this on his back? Help your boyfriend out. Oh. I'm just having my hot dog. These two. All right. There we go. Put some lotion on his back for God's sake. People have very strong reactions to you. Have you noticed that? Let's lube you up over here. Hey, they're probably just concerned for your health. Cannot believe as a doctor of science that you would put that into your body. Sorry, I panicked. Yes, you were incredibly awkward. Oh, I'm not a doctor yet. I've put way worse into this body. What was that? Pretending like you said something funny. Laughs. This woman over there just pretended to take a selfie, but she was taking a photo of us. Dr. Carlson, was that a joke? Sadly, no. Stop doing that. It is incredibly jarring. It's called flirting. It's very unnatural. I'm not going to have sex with you. What? No, no, of course not. Obviously, there is zero sexual component to this arrangement. That is ridiculous. I don't care what you think about me in a nice way. Hang out, eat hot dogs? Yes, although I will not be eating hot dogs. I'm great at science. I'm not great at talking about it. You can handle a cocktail party. Can you act natural, normal, like not your version of happier? This can really only go one of two ways. Look, you look very nice. Thank you. My patch clamp technique is impeccable. I'm speaking quickly because I'm nervous. But, okay, so after the introduction and the first two, okay. Hi. I think that went pretty well. Hi. Nice to see you. Yeah, it was good. Oh, hi. Dr. Carlson? There was an actual poll. You won. Not in a good way. Is he gone? He's gone. See you later. Good evening, Olive. So glad you could join us. Hi, Dr. Frisco. How are you? I just never get sick. As a scientist, that's an objectively ridiculous statement to me. I'm going to use the bathroom. Oh, Adam. What? Are you scared of needles? No, no. Olive, wait, where are you going? No, I'm going home. I'm sorry. Let me take you. Are you okay? Hmm? I'm great. I'm fine. I'm not crying, by the way. Oh, I know. They're those expired contacts. Yeah. You know who's not terrified of needles? Me. First, Fluchella. I held her hand. I got her to tell me about her first science project. In the lab bathroom two years ago? Wow, you really are blind. I'm so good. Okay, it was second grade, and it involved a lot of pops with sticks. I can't believe that was you. You are killing me. Stop. You're doing so well. You dropped in student polls this week. You really calmed me down before the most important interview of my life. You belong here. You just had to hear it. What about you? You ready for the conference? No. You are. When she was gone, I was just completely alone until I met Ann. Hey. We're the best fake daters. This fake dating, it's for Ann. No. Why? You can stay with me at the conference hotel. It's a double. It's not. It's one bed. I should kiss you. What? They say it's a double, and then something always happens, like a pipe burst. The hotel's overbooked. They switch rooms. Your friends, they're watching from the balcony. You get the room all to yourself. It's just for one night. There are definitely two beds. It's fine. Well, thank you. I appreciate it. You have feelings for Jeremy. Those can't be easy to ignore. You're coming? Yeah, of course. I have to give this little talk first, but then I'm going to head straight over. Break a leg. Well, I wish. Then I wouldn't have to give this talk. Hey, just remember why you're doing it. You were the keynote speaker. It's not a big deal. I'm pretty sure that's a very big deal. You know what? No, I'm fine. Because there's— How did you make it here in time? Our speeches overlap. I talked fast. How tall are you? Tall enough. I overheard some people saying that the only reason I gave a talk is because I'm dating the keynote speaker. I couldn't find a good movie. Hey, you're here because you deserve to be here. Don't let some jealous assholes make you doubt that. Here's to our last fake date as a fake couple. Wait, last date? Oh, wow. That's probably the best anyone's ever looked in that t-shirt. October 29th. It's this Monday. Yeah, we should probably just get some sleep anyway. I've got an early flight in the morning. Good. You are a terrible liar. How do we break up? You have a dramatic fight in public? I mean, whatever it is, I'm sure everyone will assume it's Dr. Evil's fault. You did not deserve that. You weren't invited to speak here because people think you're my girlfriend. The work you presented is important, it is rigorous, and it is brilliant. She can't be preoccupied with a guy she left behind in California. I don't know if, um... You're gonna **** me. I'm not gonna do that. You have feelings for someone else. This is just a rebound. I don't have feelings for anyone but you. You're gonna steal my work? Happens all the time. He sexually harassed her at the conference, then... Wait, wait, what? I'm sorry, you don't want me. You have no idea what I want. You know, for being a big, bad, scary scientist, you're kind of a little bitch when it comes to love. Are you sure? Yes, I'm sure. You really hurt her. She really cared about you, you know? You go near her again, you even think about her, I'm gonna kill you. I tried to tell you! I know. I know, and I'm sorry. I've never been in this situation before. Neither have I, Adam. Gets a false positive thinking something's happening between us when clearly it's not. No, you're wrong about that. It was a type 2 error. A false negative? Missing an effect that does exist. What effect? That I am actually in love with you. At some point, it stopped being for show and it became real. So it looks like we'll have to start over. Then I just have one more question for you. May I kiss you? With your consent. And I love you too. Go mold terrified young minds, Dr. Smythe. I'll see you later.
