Shrinking (2023) s03e03 Episode Script

1
[Alice] Grandpa, this was so nice.
I feel like I haven't seen you in forever.
Yeah. Sorry, Dad. If I knew you
were coming, I would've got us some beers.
Oh. No problem.
Thank you for the hot, uh,
Black Cherry White Claw.
You're welcome.
My mom taught me
to never show up empty-handed.
Lucky that car show was in Irvine.
- Best one I've been to in a minute.
- Hmm. Mmm.
They had a pristine
1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback.
Same one Steve McQueen drove in Bullitt.
I don't know what any of that means.
Oh, it means… [imitates gruff voice]
"I'm a man, and I like man things."
Yeah. Hey, I noticed that,
uh, '72 vintage Bronco outside.
- Great car, son, but, uh…
- Yeah. Thanks.
Oof. Baby blue?
- That's a… That's a badass color.
- Is it?
Yeah. It's like driving
Frank Sinatra's eyes.
Huh. Frank would've
had you killed for saying that.
[chuckles]
[chuckles] He's a singer.
[both] Oh!
[smacks lips] So, uh…
Wesleyan, huh? That is amazing.
Are kids still doing fist bumps?
Only for you, Grandpa.
[laughs] Boom!
[both chuckle]
How 'bout you, Jimbo?
What's going on with you?
Just living my life,
not going by the name "Jimbo."
You seeing anyone?
No.
There is a woman named Sofi.
[sighs]
Word on the street is
he's too afraid to ask her out.
- Hey…
- Why, pimp?
Go get some divorced strange, dawg.
Nothing wrong with divorced strange.
[sighs] Look,
we don't even know if she's into…
mopey widowers.
Jimmy's always
had trouble asking girls out.
Every time he tried, he got a nosebleed.
- That was one time.
- Hmm.
I used to get nervous
when I talked to girls, but I got over it.
[snorts]
Okay. [scoffs]
- I'll take these in.
- [Alice chuckles]
Grandpa, I wanted to ask you
something about graduation…
Oh, uh, hey, kid, can you help me
with dessert in the kitchen?
Sure.
You are exactly my mom's type.
[smacks lips, inhales sharply]
I'm okay not talking.
Hey.
You know how I love it
when you give me shit, right?
- No, you don't.
- I don't. I hate it.
But I allow it because my heart sings
when you include me.
But him… [sighs]
I'm glad you guys have
a good relationship, I really am.
For me, it's, like…
it's, like, a little more complicated.
I get it.
- Yeah?
- I do.
- Thanks, kid.
- Yeah.
Your friend showed me
a picture of her mom's tattoo.
I'd like to leave now.
Summer! She's not even single!
We have some stuff to go over because
we're about a month away from D-Day,
which is "delivery day" for us,
and "doomsday" for your bajingo.
- What now?
- Maybe we skip that part.
Now, I wanna make sure everyone's clear
on their roles for the actual birth.
Charlie, you're gonna deal
with the anesthesiologist,
take her through breathing,
and hold her hand the whole time.
I've moisturized, and I'm ready.
And I'm gonna be like one
of those 1950s dads chain-smoking
and saying things like, "Can you believe
they let broads become doctors?"
Wrong. You're gonna be fetching ice chips.
For what? Rosé?
Also, if you do look down there,
you are not allowed to say "ew"
when you see how stretchy it is.
- Ew.
- Wow.
Ava, I want to introduce you
to the other nanny
that's gonna be "helping out"
on the six days a week that I'm not there.
You're very tall.
I am, thank you.
And I'm also just so excited
that this baby is finally here.
And I have been instructed to say that,
"Serving under Liz will be
the privilege of a lifetime."
[breathes shakily]
Not as sincere as I'd hoped.
- Not great.
- [Ava, Charlie] No.
Regardless, Kellie is amazing
and has tons of expertise…
- I have a deep training in Montessori…
- But not now.
- No?
- No. Thank you so much for stopping by.
- There ya go. On your way.
- Yeah. Thank you so much.
Bye, Kellie. Please don't quit yet.
Hey! Remember,
the hospital will not discharge unless
that car seat's installed.
I want that purchased by tomorrow.
I have a business trip.
- Uh, but Brian can handle it.
- He can't.
- I can't.
- Derek will join you.
- Can't he just go by himself?
- I'll fucking kill you.
[stammers] I'm so excited that you guys
are gonna be there when the baby comes.
- [sighs]
- I invited my mom too.
[clicks tongue] Oh.
Well, the more the merrier.
She said no.
She's not really on board
with what I'm doing.
- It'll just be the three of us.
- Four of us.
[chuckles] I miss Kellie.
All right, meeting adjourned.
Sean!
Marisol.
Koala! [laughs]
[sighs] God, I missed this.
I'm sorry I'm late,
but it's so good to see you. How are you?
No, wait, wait. I wanna go first
because I just moved back from Miami.
And I'm so excited to be with my family
and to, like, end the day
in the same bra that I started it in.
It's very sticky there.
You know, things get sweaty.
That's too much. Okay. Your turn.
Right.
- You look great.
- Thanks.
Before we catch up, we obviously need
to talk about how things ended.
Especially how badly I behaved…
Ew. No, who cares about that?
Okay, I know that I was late,
but I'm-I'm trying to get into fashion,
and I met this girl who has
this cousin who's like a sick designer.
And she said that I could meet him
if I met her in 15,
so I can't stay,
but I still wanted to see you.
And now I have. [chuckles]
And you're still hot.
Thank God. [chuckles]
Oh, my God.
We should have dinner tomorrow night.
You can cook for me,
and since I don't have a job yet,
- you can buy all the food.
- I don't know…
- Why, are you busy?
- No, I just-just…
Okay, great. I'll see you tomorrow night.
- Koala! [exclaims, giggles]
- [chuckles]
Wait. You koala me.
I'm kidding. I'd die.
[scoffs] You're crazy.
I'll see you tomorrow. Bye!
What the fuck just happened?
- [Alice] Bye, Grandpa.
- Aw.
- Love you.
- Love you too.
Hey, didn't you, uh,
have a question for me before?
It was nothing.
[sighs]
- It was nice seeing you, Dad.
- Oh. You too, kid.
Maybe I'll see you again if there's
a car show in a 30-mile radius.
[chuckles] You can count on it.
All right, Jimbo.
[inhales deeply]
[door closes]
[Jimmy] Every September 16th
I think, "This is the year
my dad's gonna call on me my birthday."
Never does.
Your birthday's September 16th?
That means your parents
were fucking on Christmas.
Was that helpful?
Hey, so, Paul, how you doing?
I'll be back in the office in no time.
Give me the scoop. What's going on
with that patient of yours?
- Maya?
- Yeah.
Oh, I fucked that up real good.
She still won't return my calls.
Why don't you tell her the truth? [grunts]
That you were messed up because Jimmy
was BFF with the guy who killed your BFF.
- Is that how we're describing this now?
- That's the way we're describing it.
Paul, I don't know if I want to be
that forthcoming with Maya.
[sighs] There's nothing wrong
with self-use.
It can build trust
when you confess your own flaws.
That's why Jimmy's patients
trust him so much.
He's basically a walking mistake.
I'm only hearing the compliment.
Okay, I'll tell her. Why the hell not?
Oh, shit, I gotta run.
I'm covering one of your patients at noon.
- Oh, yeah? [stammers] Who?
- Sean. [cackles]
Oh…
- Terrific.
- [imitates Paul] "Terrific."
- Somebody's jealous.
- [sighs] I'm not jealous.
[sighs] All right,
I'm a little bit jealous.
Yeah, that's fine.
You jealous little bitch.
- [sighing]
- Paul.
Matthew hated getting in the car seat.
We had to play the Wiggles
on repeat just to get him to sit still.
- Derek. Focus.
- [chuckles]
Wait, I'm about to be a caring father.
I should practice.
How is Matthew? Have you heard
from him since you kicked him out?
No… [sighs] …but I know he's staying with
his brother because Liz tracked his ass.
She, like, put a GPS tracker
in his clothes?
Sure.
In his clothes. [chuckles]
Okay, now, find the one
with the fewest crevices
because you're gonna be hosing poop
out of that thing twice a week.
- That sounds like a Charlie problem.
- [phone pings]
[inhales sharply] This one's not bad.
- Holy crap. Holy crap!
- What?
[grunts] Ava went into labor.
- [gasps]
- [sighs]
I'm having a baby. [chuckles]
[chuckles] Congrats.
[both chuckle]
Oh. [chuckles]
Oh! This isn't how I imagined
- this moment at all.
- What?
I thought I'd be at a boozy brunch
with my best gays,
and as I ran out of the pool area,
everyone would've formed two lines.
It's like I was a guest
on the Jennifer Hudson show! [sighs]
[stammers] Okay, hey, everyone!
This man is having a baby!
- He's having a baby!
- I'm having a baby!
Come on, come on!
Form two lines, Hudson-style!
- Let's go.
- All right!
- Come on, come on.
- Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh!
Baby, baby, baby, oh
I'm having a baby, baby, baby ♪
[vocalizes]
["Frightening Fishes"
by Benjamin Gibbard playing]
[snapping fingers]
Alice, is this your old spaghetti?
I told you to clean it up last night!
Alice.
Mmm. [grunts]
[phone ringing]
- Hello?
- Hey, buddy.
I'm just here with Ava.
She went into labor a little bit early,
but everything is great. [chuckles]
We are doing so, so…
bad!
We're talking Cats
the musical the movie bad.
There's a storm in Chicago,
Charlie's stuck,
I've already seen
three different gross things.
Plus, I'm sorry, but does she have
to keep her feet exposed?
- I'm freaking out!
- Hey! I'll be right there.
It's gonna be fine.
Thanks. But why are you still talking?
You talk too much!
- Hey, you.
- [sighs]
Look at those cute little toes.
They look cold.
- Do you want me to cover them up?
- No, no, no.
Okay, yeah.
Let's leave them out for everyone to see.
[sighs]
[engine starts]
[screams] I could've killed you.
We're having a baby!
If she's crowning,
you tell her to clench until I get there.
Okay, so you're mad at that gorgeous woman
with all those curves
and lashes like butterfly wings? Why?
I was gonna say sorry
for what an asshole I was.
She was supposed to apologize
for cheating on me.
I didn't want her to jump on me
and tell me to make her dinner
like nothing happened.
Being accountable matters.
I see what this is.
You want to smooch her.
What are you… No, I don't.
- Then why'd you agree to dinner, Sean?
- [sighs] She made me.
- She didn't make you do anything.
- [sighs]
Look. Paul told you about
"The Field," right?
- [scoffs]
- This magical energy force
that sends you everything
you need in life?
That's just Jesus, right?
[vocalizes]
I'm a lot less crunchy than Paul,
so I think once you know what you need
to work on the most in your life,
you just start seeing it everywhere.
Seems like Marisol might be here
to help you move forward a bit.
And if that's the case,
then maybe you should dig down
and find the courage to do it.
[sighs]
You thinking about what I said,
or you dreaming about more smoochies?
- Thanks for your help. [sighs]
- Mm-hmm.
- I know you thinking about smoochies.
- Thank you, Gaby.
Mmm, mmm, mmm.
They're gonna tear each other up.
[Alice] Okay, here's the deal.
Liz has you scheduled for brain exercises,
so I'm gonna show you photos
of Julie's friends.
All you have to do is tell me their names.
Squirrel Teeth.
- Stupid Glasses.
- [giggles]
Never Shuts Up.
Yeah, yeah.
Janet is way too talky. Here.
Well, it seems like you're feeling
more like yourself.
I am. I haven't had a hallulu in days.
Yeah, and once he goes a whole week,
then he gets to go back to work.
But until then, he needs to rest.
[sighs] It's like I'm in prison.
[sighs]
And you're my sexy warden.
- Hmm. Bingo.
- Yeah.
[Alice chuckles]
So, why are you here? Wh-What do you need?
- I can't just be nice?
- [scoffs]
All 18-year-olds
are selfish assholes, so no.
[inhales sharply] Nothing.
Just some dumb stuff
I'm trying to process with Dad.
- And I…
- Hey, kid. [shushes] Keep it down.
[mutters]
She hears that we're work talking,
and we're both in the shitter.
Tell you what, you leave.
I'll meet me at the bench in 30 minutes.
Okay, but that's not enough time
for me to get you a snack.
Well, then you better hustle.
And it better be bad for me.
If I catch one whiff of carrot, it's over.
Go. Go.
- Oh. Oh.
- Go.
[sighs]
I gotta get the fuck out of here.
- [Ava breathing heavily]
- Hey. Somebody call for backup?
This is happening so fast. [chuckles]
I haven't even decided if I want
the epidural or to do it natural…
- [exhales sharply]
- [sighs]
Any strong opinions, Liz?
Natural childbirth is like getting
a root canal without Novocain.
No one's giving you a trophy for suffering
through your vadge being ripped open.
- [gasps]
- When I hear
those natural childbirth dummies
screaming in pain… [inhales sharply]
…I just… I can't help but smile a little.
I want the drugs.
- Obviously.
- Great. So, should we tell someone?
How does this work?
Do we order them online?
The baby could be here any minute.
Relax. She's only
two-and-a-half centimeters.
She's right.
What station is the baby at?
Is she fully effaced? You know what,
let me just look at her vitals.
I'm sorry, who are you?
I'm her ob-gyn.
Whoa. No, she's not.
She is, however, a mother of three
who's here to help
in a sane and normal way.
That sounds better. [chuckles]
Hey, Liz. Why don't we…
Why don't we have
a little chat outside in the hallway?
I don't wanna have a chat.
I know you don't, sweetie.
Come on. We'll be right back.
Okay, Liz.
We're just gonna go ahead
and let the experts be in charge.
Raise your hand if you've pushed
someone out of you before?
In your face.
Don't make me explain.
Uh, guys? Lock the fuck in.
We are not ready for this.
The car seat hasn't been installed.
I forgot the go bag.
And that entire room smells like vagina.
I think it's on my clothes.
[sniffing] No. No.
[sniffs, scoffs] There it is. Smell that.
I'm good. Brian, a lot of crazy shit's
gonna happen in there. All right?
- You're gonna see blood.
- Lots of blood.
- You might see her insides.
- On the outside.
And poop is definitely a possibility.
- Poop's gonna be everywhere.
- I would so much rather be at brunch.
The one thing we know for sure
is you're gonna be a dad.
I'm gonna be a dad.
- [Jimmy] Yeah.
- [chuckles]
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, Stuart, I know I texted you
that I was gonna be the first father
in history to die during childbirth,
but… [chuckles] …I'm okay now.
So, you can go… What's that stupid face?
[groans]
What do you mean she hasn't signed
the adoption paperwork?
I think you know what I mean
because you just repeated it back to me.
- Hey, let's all just relax. All right?
- [Brian sighs]
The baby came early. Maybe she
just hasn't gotten around to it yet.
In my experience, delaying signing usually
means she's reluctant about something.
- [sighs]
- Read the fucking room, Stuart!
Jesus.
- So, I'm not gonna be a dad.
- [Liz] Here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna wait
until the anesthesia kicks in…
- Nope.
- …then there's this sweet spot
- before the baby comes out…
- No.
…where she'll be very suggestible.
- No.
- I feel like she's making the most sense.
She really isn't.
- All I have to do is get her to sign.
- Brian.
Put yourself in Ava's shoes. She's scared.
She has to come to this decision
on her own.
- Liz?
- [sighs]
He's not wrong.
Brian, I promise you even if Ava decides
to keep it… [inhales sharply]
…we are leaving this hospital with a baby.
Uh, okay.
I cannot be a party to this.
- Hey.
- Yo.
[sighs, groans] Why isn't there
anything sweet in this house?
Do you think Paul
will take brown sugar packets?
- I got you.
- [bag unzips]
Thank you.
If you join me
and my ex for dinner tonight.
I get uncomfortable
when it's just the two of us.
Oh, so you wanna tap that again?
- Deal or no?
- Deal.
[Paul sighs]
Were you followed?
Dude.
It's just that Julie always seems
to know where I am.
Yeah, she tracks you on your phone.
[grunts] Not anymore. I got a burner.
[both chuckle]
So, what's going on?
- Ooh. Nice.
- [sighs]
- So, graduation's coming up, and…
- Okay.
…I want to invite my grandpa,
but I don't think Dad would love that.
They have baggage.
Look, Jimmy's shit is not your shit.
You wanna invite your grandpa? Do it.
As far as letting your dad know,
you don't have to do that
unless he says yes.
Mmm.
You just cross that tall,
sad bridge when you get there.
- Thanks. [chuckles]
- Mmm.
[Paul sighs]
- [scoffs]
- What? Something else?
You just went somewhere.
It's just…
I made a big deal
about being done with therapy
and now I have a tiny problem
and I come running back?
I don't know, I just…
I guess I feel like a failure.
I knew you'd be back.
Life has a way of making sure that
no one's ever really done with this stuff.
Least now you know…
you can get it through it
on your own if you have to.
But hear this.
You never have to.
Good. 'Cause I mean,
I'm about to go to college,
- and that's gonna be insane.
- [chuckles]
And then there will be work stuff
and marriage.
Actually, never doing that.
That's a sexist construct…
or, shit, babies.
Well, I guess I could do that.
I did raise Dad.
[chuckles]
[sniffles]
I do know that I want this in my life.
Forever and ever and ever.
[Paul smacks lips]
- [Ava] Thanks.
- Yeah, of course.
Was your wife scared
when she had your daughter?
She was terrified.
So was I. And then she took charge,
and turned into this,
like, savage mom-animal.
And I watched this woman, like…
push this baby out of her.
She ripped through the umbilical cord
- with her teeth…
- [chuckles]
Many have said that it helped her
that I was brave enough to be scared.
Name one who said that.
My friend Harry.
Harry… [stammers] Harry Belafonte.
The "Day-O" guy?
[stammers]
Just rub her fucking feet, Brian.
- Pass.
- Well, then hold her hand.
- [Ava groans]
- [Brian sighs]
Hey, she needs the epidural.
Did you find the anesthesiologist?
Yes. He said, "Will you get out
of the bathroom?" I said, "No."
And he said,
"Will you at least get out of the stall?"
And I just stared at him,
so now he'll be here in five minutes.
See, Ava. Huh? You got…
You got nothing left you gotta do.
- [chuckles]
- Well, you know,
- there might be one thing.
- Brian.
What? I think she might feel better
if she went through a mental checklist
of anything that she might've forgotten.
Like, did I do this? And did I do this?
Maybe I didn't do this.
I might've forgotten to do…
Is there anything that comes to mind?
Ow! Jesus.
Derek is downstairs with the car seat.
Go help.
[exhales] Good idea.
Because if we don't have it installed,
they won't let Charlie
and me take the baby home.
[inhales sharply]
And that is our only remaining obstacle.
- [snaps fingers]
- Right.
[knocks on door]
Hi, I'm Kimmy.
They sent me to check on you 'cause every
other nurse is too scared to come in here,
but you don't seem like a monster bitch.
That's her.
- Yep, name's Liz. Hi.
- Hi.
Short for Liz-zilla.
[laughing] Liz-zilla. That's funny.
Did you just come up with that?
- Yeah.
- [laughing]
What? He's so funny, right?
Make it stop.
I gotta say, Maya, I'm really grateful
that you gave me a second chance.
Are you kidding? It's the most
insane story I've ever heard.
Your best friend died,
you fucked her husband,
and then he fucked the guy who killed her?
Voicemail might have gotten
a little garbled, but you get the gist.
Anyway, you're here.
Let's dive in. What's going on with you?
- Not much.
- Ah, yes. I remember this part.
How about this? I'll fire some things off
at you for fun,
and, uh, we'll see if we get anywhere.
Feeling anxious?
Hate your mom? Porn addiction?
- [scoffs]
- Sex freak?
Stalker? "Stalkee"?
[laughs]
Maybe you've been
kinda crushing it your whole life,
and you suddenly feel like
the walls are closing in on you.
[gulps]
Hit. I sunk your battleship.
[laughs]
It's not a magic trick or anything.
You're just a young woman living
in America today.
I mean, it is brutal out there. We're all
going through this shit, you know?
Yeah.
- [phone pings]
- [Maya inhales sharply]
Oh, my God. Please take that.
Okay, but when I'm back,
we're gonna talk about what deflection is.
[sighs] Can't wait.
What the fuck?
[car seat clattering]
[scoffs] Why am I even doing this?
If she doesn't sign,
then today is all for nothing.
I canceled a tanning session to be here.
I mean, look at me. I look like Nosferatu.
This is one of the great defining moments
in a dad's journey.
Along with the first time your kid
gets hit in the nuts with a baseball
and you have to not laugh.
Can you just do me a favor?
Can you give me the special
and tell me everything is gonna be okay?
Brian,
everything's gonna be okay.
Thank you. [sighs]
Maybe just not the way you want it.
- [grunts]
- Wait.
You added that. Don't add things.
Look, Ava may decide
to keep the baby, which sucks.
[stammers] And I'm scared that Matthew
might never get his shit together,
which also sucks.
Look, all we can do
is believe that things are gonna work out
the way they're supposed to.
That's what "Everything's
gonna be okay" really means.
That is not my favorite.
You and me both, my friend.
It's good, come on.
All right. Can you feel this?
- No.
- [grunts]
Nailed it.
Sorry. He's the worst.
Whoo!
Okay, um, so,
that should help with the pain.
And then if you need anything else at all,
don't hesitate to press this button.
Okay.
Clean up on aisle seven.
We've had a water break on aisle seven.
[laughing] Okay. Are you serious?
- [grunts]
- I have to get back to work.
You're so funny.
[chuckling]
I, uh… I don't know why,
but she wants to tumble your rocks.
Oh, come on. No.
She totally does.
Your jokes weren't funny.
I didn't even know they were jokes
until she laughed.
It doesn't matter anyway. I can already
tell that we're not compatible.
- How so?
- [Jimmy] How so?
The whole Kimmy, Jimmy thing?
Also, she wears a cross around her neck.
I'm completely nonreligious.
So, she has to renounce her Lord
for you to smash?
What the hell is wrong with you?
You didn't ask out that Sofi chick either.
I'm not ready for that one, okay?
It feels… [sighs]
I don't know, it-it feels too real.
So, one woman feels too real
and the other one not real enough?
You're like Goldilocks.
Looking for an ass to tap
that's just right.
- Oh, my.
- [Liz] Trust me,
Sofi's not perfect because no one is.
And nurse fake laugh is flawed
because her childish name rhymes
with your childish name?
Dude, if you want to get in the game,
you gotta start taking some shots.
[sighs]
I'm with you.
But Jimmy and Kimmy is pretty awful.
- Yes, but… [shushes] Listen.
- [patient screaming] Oh, my God! Ow!
I changed my mind.
- I want the drugs.
- [chuckles]
It's too late for her to have them.
- [Ava chuckles]
- [patient] Ow!
Hey. Why did you need us?
Is everything okay?
Have you been here the whole time?
I'm fine. [exhales sharply]
My ass is asleep, but… [sighs]
I kinda like that. Sit down.
I want to talk to you guys.
- Uh-oh.
- Okay.
This better be good.
I bailed on Sean to be here.
Although, I did get someone to sub in.
You guys used to date?
I'm down for whatever this is, but I just
want to make sure you've both been tested.
What the fuck?
I didn't use to come to this park
to sit on a bench.
I'd jog a bit,
do pull-ups on the monkey bars.
Not anymore.
Get to my age,
you go through a lot of changes.
You in menopause, Paul?
Maybe.
- I do get hot a lot.
- Oh.
Alice, unfortunately,
as much as I might want to be,
I'm not gonna be
around forever to meet on this bench.
I think it's time I turn you over
to someone new.
Yeah, I don't want to talk
to some random weirdo.
That's why I'm turning you over
to a weirdo you know.
She knows you, she knew your mom.
You guys can talk about, you know,
all that s-sex stuff that… [sighs]
…is a no go for us.
- He's not wrong.
- Hell no.
I mean, I'd be honored.
Is that okay with you?
That'd be really great with me.
Okay.
Uh, well, first I'm gonna lay out
a couple ground rules, okay?
One, none of this candy bullshit, okay?
I get paid in Taco Bell.
I like a burrito supreme,
extra sour cream, no onions.
- Okay.
- [Gaby chuckles]
I'm gonna leave you guys to talk.
Mm-hmm. Okay.
Uh, Paul…
Yeah?
Thank you.
You're in good hands, kid.
She's the best there is.
Next to me of course.
[Alice] What if I get to college
and I don't like any of the girls
on the team?
I have this anxiety dream
that I'm playing soccer,
but my feet are the soccer balls.
[grunting, muttering]
- You okay? You two in a fight?
- [sighs]
You think I wanna be alone forever?
You see this Twix?
Do you see it just dangling there?
I am that candy bar.
I know that I have to drop,
and I am just clinging to my old life.
What's holding you back, bubba?
Do you know what
every relationship has in common?
They all fucking end.
Somebody falls out of love.
[inhales sharply] Somebody cheats.
Somebody dies.
I do not think that I can handle
another bad ending.
It's why I always tell Derek if he dies
before me, I'm gonna kill him.
[chuckles]
- Oh, shit. [exclaims]
- I knew you were a witch.
[chuckling]
You know, Matthew's been on my mind.
He's always been afraid.
Afraid to make friends,
afraid to try new things.
He was so sad, it used to kill me.
I remember one time when he was nine,
he wanted to ride his skateboard
down a ramp.
He would climb to the top,
totally freeze.
No matter how badly
he wanted to ride down,
he would just stand there
and watch all the other kids riding by,
having fun, living their life.
Yeah.
How did he get over it?
Well,
I pushed him.
Oh, her?
You're right. She is a babe.
[Kimmy, Jimmy chuckle]
[chuckles] Hey.
- I like your necklace.
- Oh, thanks.
- What's the "T" stand for? [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
Do you think you'd wanna grab
a cup of coffee sometime?
Sure.
[sniffs, clears throat]
Is the lighting in here making you tense?
It's making me tense.
Should I go grab some lamps?
I saw some where they keep
the tiny babies.
- [clears throat]
- Are you okay?
I'm amazing. I'm completely happy.
Just seems like something's
been on your mind all day.
You've been so kind to me.
I want you to know
you can tell me anything.
[exhales sharply]
[gulps] No, I'm good.
The only thing that I care about
right now is that you're okay.
- I am.
- [sighs]
Ice chips?
Those are for you. [chuckles]
I hope you weren't stressing.
[chuckles]
Never been more stressed. [chuckles]
I'm grinding my teeth so much,
I'm gonna need braces… again.
- [breathes shakily]
- [sighs] Yeah.
My mom just got so in my head.
She is so judgmental,
and she made me feel like
the worst person for doing this.
[sobs] I'm not a-a bad person, am I?
Ava…
- [sniffles]
- You are a kind,
generous, gift of a person.
[chuckles]
- [breathes shakily] And…
- [exhales sharply]
…Charlie and I are so grateful
you picked us.
I'm grateful I picked you too.
[both chuckle]
[inhales sharply]
Uh, I think it's happening.
[chuckles] Me becoming a good person?
Don't worry. It's temporary.
- [laughs]
- No. No, no, no. The baby.
Oh. Oh!
- Okay, pushing the button.
- Yeah. [exclaims]
- [chuckles] Where are they?
- [breathing heavily]
Okay, I'm just… D… Don't move.
[chuckles, grunts]
Doctor time!
[Summer] You guys just stay seated,
I'm gonna clean up.
So glad you could join us, Summer.
Although, you look a little young
to be one of Sean's army buddies.
That's so sweet.
Especially considering the shit I've seen.
I mean, I could tell you some stories,
but what happens in Australia…
- Nope.
- Afghanistan.
We were in Afghanistan.
I forgot.
Okay, it's time for you to go.
- Thank you so much.
- Wait, no.
Wait, I was told
there was gonna be dessert.
- [Marisol] Yeah, not for you. Bye.
- [sighs]
What the fuck is going on?
Why are you acting so fucking weird?
I'm trying to be accountable for how
I treated you, and you won't let me.
Okay, then go nuts. Get accountable.
Okay, here goes.
I was so mean to you, Marisol.
I said things to you that no one
should say to another person,
let alone someone they love.
Okay.
- My turn?
- Yes.
- Pass.
- Pass?
I dumped you while you were overseas.
Do you know why?
Because I was 19 and some bartender
told me I look like Latina Anne Hathaway.
Okay? You're beating yourself up
over shit that you wanna take back,
but I told everybody that knows you
that your dick is weird.
[smacks lips] I didn't know that.
But it explains a lot.
Look, Sean,
if you want to live in the past,
that's cool, but it's not how I roll.
So, it's your call, stud.
[Sean sighs]
Koala?
[Summer] Hot.
Sorry, I forgot my phone.
Do you want me to hang outside,
and then we can get some post-sex froyo?
Don't you knock?
It's not my style.
What are you doing?
Are you in here sad sacking?
I just…
Feeling ol' Father Time come for me a bit.
Aw.
So that's a huge yes?
I just don't know who I am
without my work.
Okay.
Maybe it's better to focus
on how grateful you must feel
that you've gotten to do this for so long.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
[Paul sighs]
Maybe I was sad sacking.
- Yeah.
- Oh.
- Big time.
- Yeah.
Okay, come on. We gotta go.
I got something that's gonna cheer you up.
I don't wanna go anywhere.
What? Just trust me.
You can choose the rap song,
- and I'll let you say all the lyrics.
- All the lyrics?
Feels like a trap.
Only one way to find out.
My neck, my back ♪
Lick my… ♪
And my crack ♪
I'ma let you say it.
I'ma let you say "pussy."
Am I crazy,
or does she look exactly like me?
- Eh.
- Brian.
I'm just so glad I made it in time.
Dibs on first to go skin-to-skin.
Let's keep your shirt on, Liz.
All right, stop hogging your baby.
Let me hold her.
Oh.
Hi, Mama.
You're so yummy.
I just want to eat your face.
I wanna eat the face.
- I know.
- [chuckles]
You wanna hold her?
- Ah. [sighs]
- Come on.
All right.
Hey.
- [baby gurgles]
- [smacks lips]
[gurgles]
Enjoy the ride, kid.
[sighs]
