Episode 8

Bella, honey, come on.
Josh is waiting.
Well, they're gonna come replace it this weekend.
Guess we'll just have to live with it till then.
Fine by me.
- Palek.
- Yeah? What? I'm pregnant.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
Two tests.
Both positive.
That's-- Well, I know you weren't expecting this.
No.
No, no, no.
I- I'm-- that's That's fine, I- I can figure it out.
I don't need you to bullshit me.
I just need you to find a way to be in this with me.
What if I can't? You can.
You can.
She's late.
Two minutes, it's it's two after.
Wanna leave? What? We can't do that.
- Can we? - I don't know.
No.
I just really don't feel like being here today, you know.
I know that you never do, so I was thinking-- You wanna leave? Well, yeah.
Kinda.
I mean, is that-- - Hello.
- Hi.
When did you last have an orgasm? Are you writing this down, or? I don't have to.
No, I-- So, when was the last time? Well, it's been a-a while.
Were you with Dave, or were you alone? No, I-I was with Dave.
Do you remember the position you were in? I thought you said we shouldn't focus too much on the orgasm thing.
No, you shouldn't.
Whether or not you have an orgasm is much less important than that you're able to talk about it.
Not for me.
It's time to talk openly about your sexuality, and I think you're both ready to do it.
Unless you think you're not.
Now, it-- We're ready.
Yeah, we're good.
Good.
What are the favorite things that you did sexually when you felt it was working? - I don't know-- - I don't really - have a favorite one.
- They were all fun.
Oral? Missionary? Katie on top? Dave behind? Jesus, what am I supposed to say? All right, okay I-- I like it when you know, Katie's you know on top.
That's actually my least favorite.
Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry.
Why did you have an orgasm? Was Dave stimulating you clitorally? Was he thrusting fast? Slow? I don't know, slow and fa-- Slow and fast, and just both.
I guess, I don't-- These are the kinds of questions you need to be asking each other.
It's difficult now because they've gone unanswered for so long.
Yeah, but I don't really-- Don't see how-- I mean, I really don't-- I really don't see how they help, you know.
I don't know, I've been thinking a lot lately, and I'm just, you know Honestly, that we shouldn't You know, maybe we don't have to come all the time.
What? You mean, you want to quit? Well no.
I mean, I don't know We're making progress, and it can be frightening.
Yeah.
No, I-I know.
But Dave, what do you think? I never in a million years thought I'd be saying this, but I think quitting is a bad idea.
Why is that? You know, it's like when you clean out your garage.
You got all this crap on the floor before you put it back.
You can't just leave it like that.
Katie, you disagree? No.
I just don't, umm I don't know, you know, I really-- I just-- I just feel a lot closer to Dave now, and I just-- I think that, you know, we've accomplished a lot, and I just think that maybe, you know I wonder if we can't make more progress on our own, in a way.
We're in the thick of it now.
And if you didn't feel vulnerable and feel like running away right now, I wouldn't be doing my job.
I think Dave is right.
That it's precisely at moments like this when change starts to happen.
I can't force you to come back.
But I will urge you to stay.
That's a big bag.
Don't worry.
It's just my softball stuff.
Anything else I need, I'll borrow from you.
Wanna go out? I thought you wanted to hang here.
I do.
No, I do.
Hey, sweetie.
Are you working? Well, I'm trying to, but I lost something, and now it's it's a piece of paper, and it's just-- Gone, and I'm going crazy trying to find it.
This? You mean this one? Yes.
That's it.
Great.
Thank you, sweetie.
What is it, honey? You bored? Did you have any boyfriends before Daddy? Did I what? Yeah.
Yeah, I did.
I I did.
Not a lot.
But yeah.
I mean, you've heard me talk about Pete.
He had freckles.
Who else? Well, let's see, there was-- --Billy, he was my boyfriend in high school.
Nothing serious, but What's going on? Why are you asking me about boyfriends? I don't know.
Do you like someone at school, or? No.
- Does somebody like you? - No.
- Well, how was school today? - It was fine.
I'm gonna go to my room.
You know, I remember being your age.
Everything is changing with your body, and what you're thinking, and what you're feeling.
It can be kind of confusing.
You must be more aware of boys now, huh? I mean, is that, is that why you were asking me just now about boyfriends? It's more What? What is it, sweetie? It's not about boys it's about me.
Well, what about you? When I-- When I touch.
Yourself? Oh, that-- That's okay.
No, that's okay, Bella, it's good.
You're just-- you know, you're-- You're getting to know your own body, th-that's good.
But But, what? Bella I don't want you to think that this is not okay, because it is, all right? It's your body.
Nobody else's, and you should, you know, you should just-- You just love it.
When I do it, I feel a lot of things.
Well, sure you do, you know, that's okay, 'cause everybody does.
Is it normal? Of course, it is.
Yeah, of course, it is.
As long as it feels good.
- Does Carolyn know you're here? - No.
Why are you here? I'm worried about her.
Why? I mean, I'm worried about us.
She's pregnant.
I see.
Yeah, and I-- I'm not sure I want it.
You're not sure, or-- No, I don't-- I- I I don't want it.
I mean, we were done, you know, I mean, I-- Did you really think Carolyn was done? I don't know, I-I hoped, you know What are you losing, Palek, if you have the baby? Well, let's see My wife my life my sanity.
That's-- When did you realize you didn't want to be a father? Well, after we quit trying, I, uh I was relieved.
I mean, I-I never had a-- A father I mean, he was out of there.
He was never there, so - Never? - No.
Well, I mean, he You know-- He didn't-- He didn't want me.
He left my mom because of me, because I was, because I was born.
I mean, they never said that, no one ever said that.
How old were you when he left? I was almost three, I guess.
And you've been living with this ever since? Yeah, well fuckin' life.
Now I'm gonna be a father, and I don't wanna be.
I don't.
I mean, I wanna-- I wanna run away.
Just like him.
Fuck - It's all right, Palek.
- No, it's not.
You know, it's not all right, 'cause I-- I-- I hate him.
I-- I- I thought I was over hating him, you know, and now this, it's-- You're not your father.
You came here.
Your wife is pregnant, and you will be a father to your child.
Yeah, yeah, I will.
And the work we do here will help to determine the kind of father you're gonna be.
But, you have to keep coming.
And Carolyn must too.
You okay? Yeah, I'm okay.
You need to just slow down.
Okay, climb on top of me.
Are you close? Are you? No, I want you to come.
I want you to come.
I want you to come too.
I want you to come too.
No, wait, don't stop, don't stop - What? - This is weird.
No.
It's not.
It's not, it's not.
It is.
Yeah, it is.
What's going on? I don't know.
What, what's this? What's the big-- It's not a big deal, right? I don't know Ah, fuck it, whatever It's all fine.
It's fine.
The beef salad the spicy be-- Yes.
Uhh, brown.
And one Penang curry, shrimp.
And that's it.
Right.
Right.
Okay, thanks.
Whatcha doing? Watching TV, ordered dinner.
Whatcha get? Thai.
That's okay, right? - Yeah.
- Is it too spicy, or-- No I probably shouldn't have the peanuts, but Allergies, they say it might upset.
All right.
I'll eat the peanuts.
I wanna start telling people.
Already? You-- It's not, uh, early? Well it is, but I still want to.
You know, we've been waiting for a year, so-- - Right.
- I wanna share it.
I went to see May.
- You did? - I did.
Why? Well, that's a tough question, sweetie.
She thinks we need to come back in.
Together.
Well, maybe you should go.
I mean, I don't have the problem with this, you do.
Remember how you felt when we couldn't get pregnant.
That's how I feel now.
Okay, we have a problem, and if we want that problem solved, you need to come in with me.
- I can't sit there alone again.
- Okay.
I'm-- Can we just, can you just, can we just-- I- I I just wanna be together with you, I do.
I'm not-- I'm not really into it.
I don't know, I'm not-- Sorry.
Okay.
I want you, I really do.
Yeah.
Well, I don't want you, right now.
Well, when do you think you're gonna want me? I don't know.
Oh, my God, I can't watch you do that.
Look at you, you can't even binge properly.
It's habit.
Half my family either won't cut their food, or can't.
I do not miss that.
Do you miss any of it? I miss Tess, I never see her.
Oh, well she's 16.
How's her boyfriend? What's his name, Chris? Sam.
Chris was two boyfriends ago.

Yes, I do.
It's a phase, it will pass.
No, it won't, you know I'm not really even that sure that I wanted to, I mean I really wanna have another baby.
Katie - What? - Have you talked to Dave? Well not yet, no.
You do realize you have to have sex to get pregnant.
Yes, I do realize that.
And are you? Well, not yet, but, you know, we're getting close, and-- What does that mean? What do you mean, "What does that mean?" It means we're getting close.

Really? What's the-- Last night, I had the best sex of my life.
With Sandy? No, not with Sandy.
Of course not Sandy.
Okay.

I know you are.
- And she saw it.
She saw I was hurtin', and she saved me.
Who? Michelle.
Our Michelle? Michelle, out there? We did it in Gorman's office.
She's nasty, man, and she loves it.
I thought you were scared of her.
I still am.
But in a good way.
I never would've thought of her-- Me neither, I mean, she's short, she's uptight, she's way too old for me.
Isn't she our age? Yeah, but you know what I mean.
I totally get it now, man.
So you like her, or These women 40's the new 20.
And there's a bunch of them out there.
So much sexual energy and nobody fuckin' them.
I'll have a double, non-fat laté with an extra shot on the side.
Okay, sure.
I'm so fucking tired I could fall asleep on this table.
I'll just have a laté, thanks.
You know, what? Decaf.
- You got it.

I'm pregnant.
I'm pregnant.
- Well, you better get ready.

Why are you being such a fucking bitch, why can't you just be happy for me? I didn't even know til, like, a week ago that you were even trying.
- I mean, the last time you even - There you go.
Thank you.
The last time you even talked about having kids, you were getting rid of one, so Decaf.
Just need a little time to adjust.
Thank you.
I'm pregnant, and not a fucking person is happy for me.
Looks like you've made yourself at home.
I've gotta pee.
Hey, where do you hide the bottle opener.
Next to the sink, in the drawer.
Got it.
I hear you.
Shut up.
Did you fix the toilet? Why? What do you mean, "Why?" Because it was broken.
Forget it.
What, are you mad at me for fixing your toilet? No, I'm not.
I'm just-- You should've asked me.
Come on.
I should've asked you to fix the toilet.
- Maybe I should unfix it for you.
- Don't be an asshole.
I'm being an asshole? You know, I'm not feeling too welcome around here, I mean, should I go? Here.
So you're leaving? Oh, man, I don't know what I'm doing here, Jaime.
I try to help, you don't want it.
We fight like we're married.
We have shitty sex like we're married.
But we've had good sex too.
I mean, so we've had good sex, we've had not so good sex.
Why can't we just see what happens.
Fuck it, never mind.
You know what? Stay.
Stay Come on, do we have to be so fucking dramatic? Look Can we just hang out? What is that look, huh? It'll stick that way.
- Where did you learn that, Mommy? - What? Don't look at me.
Your mother gave me that look all the time.
No, I didn't.
What are you talking about? Let me see this look.
Oh, no.
That's your dad, that's you dad.
You got all your looks from you father-- I saw that.
Where'd I get mine from, from you? No.
- From Daddy, then? - No, you have your own face.
Your very own beautiful face.
I'm not on Jason Grant's hotlist.
Well-- Ok-okay, Jason Grant, he's a nerd and a dork.
Okay, when you're in high school, and so beautiful, Jason Grant will have pimples all over his face.
- Dave, that's not appropriate.
- Well, it's true.
- Your daddy's right.
- No, he's not.
- Yes, I am.
- No, you're not.
Honey, I-- Hey, you're beautiful.
- Josh, eat your dinner, okay.
Dave.
- What? Daddy? Who's Jason Grant? I don't know.
I don't know What's a hotlist? Some people put hotties on a list.
Dashell's turning seven on Saturday.
- Good for him.
- Well, we're invited.
Well, weren't we invited to one through six as well? - Okay.
- But I wanna go.
SpongeBob SquarePants.
Am I doing this right? Could've asked me that an hour ago.
You always gotta keep the blade on the board.
Why? I don't know, that's just the way you do it.
Like this? - That's good enough for you? - Yeah.
Yes, we had shitty sex, but I still can't stay away from you.
They're gonna be here any second.
Fuck.
I'll get it.
We could drive to that little bi-- bistro place, on Center Street.
Yeah, I've heard that's good.
- John's daughter works there.
- Yeah? Olivia.
Well, in that case, I guess we'll try the Moroccan place.
She's quite lovely, Olivia.
You ever wish that we'd has children? It's not too late.
You haven't asked me that in probably 10 years.
You think we would've been good parents? I don't know what we would've been like then, but I think we'd be very good parents now.
The truth is, I didn't want to share you, not with anyone.
Is that awful? Not to me, it isn't.
God, this is good.
- Yeah? - Really good.
- 'Cause you haven't eaten a thing.
- I ate as much as I could before I needed to start drinking.
Prioritize.
It's not my Mom's, but-- What? It's not supposed to be.
Oh, man The things we do for love.
- I tell ya.
- What does that mean? It's, you know.
You're already cooking for your man.
You just met him, you know.
I don't know if my mother ever cooked for my father.
And what do you do for love? Not cook.
No shit.
Fuck.
What the fuck do you care, all you do is sit around and eat turkey jerky.
That's because you don't cook.
Really? Just wondering have you moved your shit in yet? I was just wondering.
No.
No? Yeah I made the mistake of telling Mason that we were having a sleepover.
Right.
Right.
Yeah, 'cause, you know, first, it's like a couple days, then it's like a month.
Then your shit gets mixed in with his shit, and you know, by the time you know it, you're breaking up and it's Hurricane Fucking Katrina.
- Shit - Mason is a romantic.
In case you haven't noticed.
I noticed.
Really? What the fuck do you care? All you do is sit around and get fuckin' high all the time.
True.
So? Maybe we should just get high.
Yes.
That's a good idea.
Matter-of-fact He comes prepared.
- Oh, yeah.
- Oh, nice.
Love you.
Me too.
Did you check on Josh? Isabella? Yeah, she's fine.
She's just, you know growing up.
Does that make us sad? No Yeah, I don't know, I don't know.
Jason Grant I'd like to kill that kid.
You know, I think that Isabella's starting to - Starting what? - Starting to touch herself.
Oh, Jesus, I don't need to hear that, honey.
I know.
I mean, really, God.
How do you kno-- You didn't-- No, she told me.
She wanted to talk about it, - so I talked about it.
- Oh, Jesus, Jesus.
It's strange, isn't it? Yeah, I mean, she was just born.
I mean, am I wrong, or-- I'm surrounded by masturbators.
I am.
At first you, now her.
I mean, is Josh doing this? He's probably in there right now, - Oh, God, he's six.
- Going at it.
Still Well, probably shouldn't surprise us, right? Next thing you know, she and that Jason Grant will be breaking curfew together.
I wanna have another baby.
Really? Does it sound crazy? It is crazy, isn't it? - I mean, I know that it's crazy.
- No, no, no.
It's not crazy, I just-- I didn't know-- know that you were really thinking about it.
Well, I mean, yeah, I mean don't you ever? I mean, we never said that we wouldn't-- I think it'd be a great idea.
I- I just-- It-it's a little bit about putting the chicken before the egg, isn't it? What is that? Is that a no? No, no, you know.
It's just kind of, I think I just-- I think we should talk to May first.
You know.
We should just talk to her about it.
- All right? Yeah? - Okay.
Yep.
- It was nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.
- Can you call me? - I will.
Thanks, man.
- Thank you.
- No doubt.
Bye.
Good night.
Talkin' about toxic.
- Hi.
- Hey.
You are so beautiful.
Shut up.
I just like you.
Thank you.
Why do people stay together when they make each other so miserable? I don't know.
Look at this.
Awesome.
Hey, we're entering the party zone.
Amazing.
- Look, we're entering the party zone.
- Could you smile? Yeah, yeah, cute.
- Can you give that to Dashell? - Only, I don't know who that is.
You do know who that is.
Ready? Let's see it.
Oh, that's perfect.
- How's it going? - Hey, you made it.
- This is quite a production.
- Oh, God, this is nothing.
You shoulda seen it last year.
I'm still paying for it.
Can we help? What can we do? No, no, no.
Just enjoy yourselves.
No, come on.
We're here, we'll help.
Go run and play in the jumper.
- But, Mom.
- You're okay, you're okay.
Now I actually need to set the table.
Sure.
- I want my balloon.
- Oh, it's okay.
Umm here.
And you.
You, mister, you can cut the cake, actually, here.
- I'm sorry? - We need 25 pieces, plus five extra.
And make sure you don't go through SpongeBob's head, 'cause that's Dashell's favorite part.
And also, they need to be very tiny squares, and all need to be even, or else there'll be hell to pay.
But seriously, there-- Yeah, yeah.
Okay? Right there.
All right.
- Go easy.
- Just over here? Yeah, yeah, right, yeah.
Yo, hey.
Be careful with that.
- Sorry.
- I got that.
- Sorry.
- You know what, why don't Why don't you go supervise the jumper.
Okay.
How do I do that? You know, just keep them from getting rowdy.
No shoes, no jumping into each other.
No flips.
- Got it.
- Only a couple at a time.
Basically, no concussions.
Don't let 'em get killed.
- Right.
- You can do it.
You know, I was thinking about you guys the other day.
Oh yeah, how come? Well, I don't want to seem nosy or anything, but I'm just-- I was just wondering if you'd tried acupuncture.
No.
No.
'Cause, I know someone.
She's really great.
'Cause actually I'm pregnant.
What? Oh-- Oh, my God! Oh, my God.
That's terrific.
Thank you.
Tatya.
Come here, come here.
Tell her.
Well I'm pregnant.
- Oh, are you excited? - Yeah.
Very.
Hey, hey.
Not so high.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Uhh, it's okay.
All right.
Hey, buddy.
It's okay.
Hey, hey, don't worry about it.
It's all right, it's okay.
Okay, all right.
All right.
Okay, listen.
Do this, do this.
You wanna jump? Can you jump? Can you jump? Come on.
Like that? Good? That's better, right? - Are you excited? - Yeah.
Well, yeah.
Look at Palek.
He's gonna be such a good dad.
Yeah, he's a natural.
Are you okay? Surprised.
I'm sorry I fixed your toilet.
I'm sorry I was a jerk about that.
That's all right.
I know you love me.
I do.
You do? Am I wrong? So so tell me.
You tell me.
I will.
I just figured since you've probably been told that first by just about every guy you've ever been with, that I'd give you a shot.
Thanks.
So come on.
Tell me you love me.
