It's right in there.
Thank god i practiced a lot in high school.
You put it in a cooler? So? So, why? Because.
Because why? Because this way it looks more dramatic.
It looks like a heart transplant.
Looks like a picnic.
You going to mock me now? You know how many potential babies are in here? A billion.
How many? No exaggeration.
A billion potential babies.
Listen, with what's inside this cooler, I could populate a whole distant planet, Start a whole race of buch-Men.
I'm sure you could.
We have 45 minutes.
You have the address? I don't have the address.
[Buzz.]
I wrote it down on a piece of paper.
It's me.
You ready? Who is that? Lisa? Yeah.
Why is your sister coming with us? She's going to drop us at the hospital, Then she's borrowing the car.
I promised ira he could borrow the car.
As long as we get there, i don't care.
You want me to come up? We'll be right down.
We'll be right down.
O.
K.

You and me, your sister, ira, And a cooler full of love.
What could be more pleasant? Where are you going? You're the one Who didn't want to do this at the hospital.
Not at the hospital.
Hospitals are for sick people, And this is the act of a healthy, healthy man.
I don't need a whole ward full of people watching me.
Nobody is watching you.
You think they don't have two-Way mirrors? I don't think that's the best place for the soda.
I don't like hospitals.
Know what i mean? It's they're cold and nasty And things happen.
And your friend's uncle.
That's exactly right.
Andy kessler's uncle.
The man goes into the hospital for a blood test, Next thing you know he's in a home Wearing a bib, and barking.
Nobody knows what happened.
Got him barking now.
Well, whatever it was, it wasn't good.
When we get there, let me do all the talking.
Fine.
I want you to be there, I just don't want you right there.
Fine.
I may need space.
I will give you space.
That doesn't work when you do that.
Hey, i decided to come up.
We said we would be right down.
You have the greatest elevator.
It's so slow.
Wait till i tell you this story.
Can't wait.
Honey, that also doesn't work.
Something works.
Hold the lift please! What are you doing? We're in a hurry.
Sorry.
It was a reflex.

Oh, hal! He's a bit slow on the uptake this morning.
Hal! We're in a little bit of a hurry.
Let the door close.

A human organ? Yes.

It's a heart.
No, it's not.
It's a liver.
No.
It is.
It's a small liver.
You're teasing.
A human thumb.
Oh, my goodness.
I forgot my umbrella.
Better run back upstairs and retrieve it then, shouldn't you? [Ding.]
Come on.
It's not really a thumb, is it? You want to know what it is? I told them.
Oh, no.
Believe this? What? You can make it.
I'm totally blocked in.
There's all sorts of room.
I can't get out of this spot.
It's a piece of cake.
I don't think it's doable.
Of course it's doable.
There's plenty of room.
Honey, let's just take a cab.
Why have a car if we won't use it? What if there's traffic? I can't get stuck in traffic As good as a cab? Want me to move the car? I will do it.
I need a cup of coffee.
No.
There's no time.
I'm woozy.
You're not woozy.

He couldn't, but i think i could.
Me, too.
You could not.
It's definitely doable.
It's not doable.
Do you think it's doable? Doable.
