"All right." "Jose." "Uh, no, I'm good." "You should probably put those in a cup or something, you know?" "'Cause I don't know what the protocol is exactly." "The cable's better than at the Tiffany, fuckers." "Hey!" "Good job!" "Violet, don't take Emerson's cake, honey." "Apologize." "Hey, man, you sounded good." "Okay." "Okay." "It's okay."

"Really?" "You want to play for little..." "Well, it's similar to playing to drunks." "I guess that's true." "Oh, my God, how are you guys?" "I feel like it's been forever since we've seen you." "Well, we finally settled on a honeymoon." "Hey!" "Oh, my God!" "Where?" "Well, it was between kidnapping and hijacking." "I chose kidnapping." "Mexico." "You can't drive to Hawaii, apparently." "So now we just have to figure out what we're doing for his 40th." "No, I think we discussed that." "I'm going to blow my head off right after cake." "Oh, so you're doing that this year." "You're not gonna go to Santa Barbara?" "No, I was gonna blow my head off in Santa Barbara." "So, yes, but I thought this year we should do a party, too, right?" "Yes, you should!" "You gotta have a party." "Come on." "Listen." "Wait a minute." "Isn't your birthday like, the day before Violet's?" "The day after, yes." "You guys, we should totally do a joint party." "Sorry?" "Yes!" "Like a cradle to the grave theme." "Yes, exactly!" "No, it would be so cute." "Yes!" "Besides, you don't have that many friends, right, Jose?" "That's right, Kate, I don't have that many friends." "Oh, my God, and you guys should play." "Ever since I started repping Lil' Vegan," "I know all these music industry people." "That would be so great." "All right, let me think about this." "Can Gabe play with us?" "Sure." "Why not?" ""'51" " one sis." "Right?" "Oh, buddy." "Honey, you feeling all right?" "Yes, I'm all right." "All right." "Well, then, it's settled." "Yeah, you got your party." "I did." "Hey, what do you say we go get some..." "You guys want to get some real lunch or..." "Oh, you know what, we would, but we got to go to another party, a friend of Fred's." " Fred is..." "Fred has friends?" " He's so adorable." "I don't know." "I don't know, man." "This goes first, this goes first." "I think this is a sign of things to come, and it's not looking good." "Yeah, Dusty's pulling some Yoko shit." "Oh, God." "Did that thing work?" "I don't know." "My neck kind of feels better, but now my fucking armpits are killing me." "Oh, no." "Ah, God, this is a disaster." "What, you guys sounded great." "Honey, I just sang a song about my mother leaving me with my suicidal father for two years while she banged her way through Kathmandu to a bunch of four-year-olds who think it's about a tiny little sheep herder." "I want to smoke.No you don't." "You're doing so good." "Six hundred more gigs like this," "I can finally get you a ring." "Honey, just get me a Cracker Jack ring." "I told you, I don't care." "I do." "Well, you know what, maybe if you guys didn't sing the old Borges stuff..." "No, no, no, no, no." "And you wrote some new stuff for the kids..." "No." "No." "No..." "It wouldn't feel like such a violation." "No." "No." "I just can't write songs about sissy and Bamm-Bamms and binkies." "I just can't do it." "It's fortuitous enough that my songs are about stunted adults." "Excuse me, sir." "What is it, little man?" "You're good at playing." "Thanks for coming to my big boy party." "Oh, you're very welcome and I hope you have a very good big boy year." "Okay, We" "Jeez!" "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "No, I'm good." "Let's go."

"Another gruesome chapter in the seemingly infinite Mexican..." "You know, it's not too late to change our minds." "Yeah, actually it is." " I bought it with coupons." " Coupons?" "Mmm-hmm." "It's barely Mexico, it's Baja." "It's like we're driving to San Diego." "It's gonna be fine." "So steep." "It's good exercise." "I miss the old apartment, honey." "You hated the old apartment." "Is that right?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Good for the gluts." "Mmm-hmm." "Hey, that was really nice of Kate to offer to host your party and have the band play, huh?" "That was really nice, yeah." "They seem beat though, huh?" "I mean, like, more than usual." "I didn't notice." "Really?" "Honey, Gabe is aging in dog years." "I thought he looked great." "See now, how can I trust you to assess my own decay?" "You think everybody looks great." "I don't." "Yes, you do." "No, I don't." "Honey." "I'm kidding." "You're a very, very, very handsome, ugly..." "Oh, I heard this study on NPR that if you don't have kids you're gonna effectively suspend your age." "Beautiful and lonely, sounds great." "Where are my Breathe Right?" "They didn't seem stir-crazy to you?" "How can you seem stir-crazy in a park?" "Exactly." "That's right, how can you seem stir-crazy at a park?" "And yet somehow they've managed to achieve this." "I think it's sweet." "Their little life with park parties and nesting at home." "I don't know if that's nesting so much as it is Stockholm Syndrome." "You know they wanted to move to Tokyo, right?" "What?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "They were gonna do that house swap thing." "Before the kids were born." "But then they ended up with a dud UvaDisc." "Oh." "We use UvaDisc." "What?" "Japan." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, Japan, Japan." "Kate is an obsessive Japanophile." "She never talks about it 'cause it's too depressing." "I don't know, maybe we should use a cervical cap or something." "Yeah, if you want to use it as a butt plug." "Wow." "It's depressing." "I mean, you know, Kate used to be an attorney for homeless veterans." "Now she's got to represent little miniature white vegetarian rappers." "Just so they, you know, they can maintain their overhead and remodel that Gray Gardens backyard of theirs." "So doing well is a curse and being broke is a curse." "Uh, yeah, that's right." "Okay." "Oh, shit." "You know, I still think it would be really nice to go away for your birthday." "Just, you know, maybe we go to Santa Barbara on the actual day." "Santa Barbara on the actual day?" "Yeah." "Well, let me think about it, uh, in song." "You know you're supposed to wind down before bed, not up." "Honey, I took like 11 Ambien." "I'll be dead in two minutes." "Santa Barbara." "Right, Santa Barbara." "Um..." "Okay, Santa Barbara." "Focus." "Honey, I..." "I just don't want to be anywhere when I turn four..." "You know..." "The thing." "Look, we're going to Mexico, right?" "Mmm-hmm." "That's good." "We're gonna go to Mexico right after the arraignment." "And then..." "Wedding." "Well, I know." "It's in a court so it's really more like an arraignment." "You didn't want a big wedding." "I'm gonna kill you!" "I wanted a huge wedding." "I wanted a massive wedding." "Great, let's do it." "I want a gigantic wedding." "With thousands of..." "With just thousands of family members." "Okay." "I want a huge wedding." "Ow!" "What is that?" "What, what, what?" "That burning?" "Honey, it's my sports rub." "Oh, got to warn me." "Assume it's always on." "Ugh." "Jesus Christ." "Pillows everywhere." "Cute." "E-mail from the PTA." "PTA?" "You're not..." "No, God forbid." "Okay, okay, I was just..." "You're safe." "Because that'd be a funny way to find out, you know?" "No, I signed up for the Friends of Balboa elementary school mailing list." "Honey, don't you think that's a little premature?" "I mean, we're not even married yet." "No, but we're gonna be and I thought it'd be good to get involved in the neighborhood." "I mean, that's why you moved to Glendale, right, for the services?" "No, that was for the interminably long commute back into civilization." "Oh." "Oh, Jesus!" "What?" "This is so gross." "What?" "They sent me a link to a sex crimes registry app." "Ugh." "There's an app for that?" "Yeah, apparently." "What are you doing?" "No, no, no, honey, don't." "You're downloading?" "You don't want to download that." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, give it." "Stop it." "Honey..." "You don't 'cause then your phone gets filled with smut and then you get, uh..." ""iPervert would like to use your real location."" ""Allow?" Yes, allow." "No, don't allow." "Honey, don't allow." "Hey!" "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "You really don't want to allow." "Hey, calm down on the Ambien." "You're gonna pee in the closet again." "I mean, you don't..." "Edward Snowden." "What?" "Stop, will you quit it?" "What..." "Babe." "I'm feeling a little, uh, woozy." "Um, maybe from the..." "Go get a snack." "Yeah, I..." "No." "Well, could you get me a slice of cheese?" "I have an idea." "Would you like some cheese?" "No, thank you." "You don't want to share some cheese with me?" "No." "Are you sure?" "No, but I'm thinking..." "You don't want any cheese?" "You know, we could have like a fondue party, all '70s-style." "I already brushed my teeth." "Going once." "No, thank you." "All right." "We can invite our friends over." "We get weird." "Things could get weird." "You are getting weird." "Okay, I'm gonna get some cheese." "Okay." "Okay, we're the blue dot." "You cool on cheese?" "Yep." "Ugh!" "You want some cheese?" "Your mom's mom left your mom's dad right after she was born, right?" "Hmm." "And your grandfather refused to ever mention your grandmother's name and your mom spent her entire adult life looking for her." "Is that right?" "Mmm-hmm." "That's right." "Mmm-hmm." "And then when she found her, she learned that her biological father was actually some mariachi guy in Mexico that her mom had a one night stand with and so you re-christened or de-Jewished yourself" "Jose." "That's right." "Mmm." "Gramps as it turned out wasn't Gramps." "It was some guy named Lupe." "And that's the story, that's why you changed your name?" "Yeah, I mean, it's a true story." "It's the story of Jose Stern." "Or is it the story of Joseph Stern, the rapist?" "I swear to God..." "Oh, fuck." "Whoa." "Hey." "Honey." "Honey, no, no." "Sweetie-kins." "Hey, you got to open the..." "Come on, sweetie, I'm fucked up, man." "Don't call me man." "I'm so hip I even call my girlfriend man." "I'm your fiancée!" "It's from a Dave Frishberg tune." "I played you that record." "How much Ambien did you take?" "I took some Ambien." "That's what I, you know..." "I was trying to tell you." "This is just..." "This is not..." "Maybe, not the best time for this." "Yeah, well, maybe you should have thought of that when you were doing the raping." "Hey, I didn't do the raping." "That's not how you say it." "Come on, man!" "Listen, the whole Jose thing, that's a real thing, man." "I needed street cred and the Borges and, man..." "And I found out I was an eighth homey and so, you know." "I'm a homey." "I'm an eighth homey." "Okay, okay, okay." "You're Mexican." "Unlike Borges, that's actually Argentinian, but whatever." "It was a three-week summer fling, you know?" "Okay, I was 18, she was 17." "I mean, we were the same age basically." "You know, I mean, and let me tell you a little something, man." "This girl knew her way around the, uh..." "I don't know, the rodeo ring, if you know what I'm talking about." "Ew!" "Listen, listen, the point is..." "The point is..." "Holy shit." "The door is breathing." "Is the door breathing on your side?" "No." "Okay." "Look, sweetie, sweetie..." "I just wanted to get laid, that's all." "I just wanted to lose my virginity." "Okay?" "But the thing is, honey, she fell in love with me." "Because guys like me, they don't just go and..." "They can't just get laid." "You know, they have to write poems and songs, so I wrote her these songs." "Her name was Gia." "It was like... ♪ Gia ♪" "I can't do it right now." "But the point is, is that she fell in love." "And she tells her father, and her father freaks out because he thinks she's a virgin." "Which is crazy, because if you saw the build on this girl, it's just not..." "Virginity was not an option for this girl, okay?" "The dad..." "Honey, you listening?" "The dad turns out to be a sheriff's deputy." "Okay?" "And now I'm in an app!" "Okay." "Fine." "Why didn't you tell me this sooner?" "I don't know." "Because I..." "I was embarrassed, I guess." "You know, I think between seeing my mommy naked like way too much as a child and my father's facts of life talk consisting of palming me with a strip of his old rubbers like he was tipping a" "bellhop." "What?" "Sick shit, right?" "I mean, this guy didn't even give me his..." "I'm coming." "It's the stairs." "You got a house with too many stairs." "I mean, seriously, honey, they weren't even reservoir tip." "I mean, they were like vintage 1950 father condoms." "I didn't mean, "What?" "Please repeat,"" "or "What?" "Please free associate."" "I've heard these stories." "Okay." "Got..." "Check." "Oh, okay." "So what?" "So you lied to me because your parents have sex organs and because your dad is awkward?" "I'm saying that it was a very difficult... 1970s were a difficult era for a young man" "and his mother." "I think that if you were to think about." "Generation X it would be less about the letter X and more about it maybe being E-X..." "Children from, uh, broken..." "I'm saying that maybe it's not that big of a deal?" "That's what you're going with?" "You're a registered sex offender, but it's no big deal." "Given my options, I guess that's what I'm going with." "Listen, it's not, you know..." "I'm Tier 2." "I don't know if you're familiar with the..." "No." "Oh, okay." "Well, it's not so bad." "Really, it's not great..." "It's not optimal, okay?" "But in three years, I can unregister." "Oh, good!" "Come on!" "It's not like I was some old man luring kids into my underground dungeon." "You're a children's musician, Jose!" "Jesus, why didn't you at least stop me from doing that?" "I've tried!" "I've been super passive-aggressive about it!" "But you kept making T-shirts!" ""Tsipar..."" "Tupac Chopra?" "I have no..." "Fucked up neighbors, man." "Glendale, I don't understand." "You always had this, didn't you?" "This secret was like a ripcord." "You didn't want any of this." "Uh..." "You finally have a good out." "Take it."

"Yeah, that's what you said, but you obviously went into some sort of alpha state when I responded with the occasional skepticism." "Really, Gabe, an alpha state?" "Honey, don't call me Gabe." "Why?" "That's your name, Gabe." "Yeah, but you know what, I think sometimes you just..." "Guys." "Guys." "Guys." "Violet, knife!" "Guys!" "Oh, Jesus, oh, Violet." "Violet, get away from your brother." "You're gonna stab him." "Violet!" "Oh!" "Time-out box." "There's a time-out box?" "What, like a hockey player?" "Way to keep an eye on them, babe." "Oh." "Right."

"Who knows who's perfect for what." "I spent so much time counting everybody else's blessings," "I don't know that I ever had the opportunity to count them for myself." "Maybe now you'll have some objectivity." "Isn't that..." "Maybe that's what's happening." "Okay, so look, Jose..." "Look, no, no, no, no." "I think she's gonna call." "They always come back." "No, yeah, I know, they always come back, we always split up." "I mean, isn't it possible that some people are just meant to be miserable lonely, old, childless and alone living with you?" "Oh, no, are you gonna like..." "Are you gonna screen all her calls?" "Like you did with Sophie and Uli and Penny and..." "Yes, yes." "Yes, I am." "Yes, I am." "Because..." "And block her e-mails." "Because it provides an emotional firewall." "Facebook?" "No, we were never Facebook friends." "Precisely in case this ever happened, I forbade it." "Besides, it provides like a clear line in the sand, you know?" "I mean, this way she doesn't get hurt any more and I have clarity, you know." "I think it's important just that there be clarity, you know." "Yeah, but I thought that you had clarity with her." "I think..." "I think maybe I had her clarity." "I don't know." "It's unclear." "I lack clarity on the issue." "I mean, she..." "I mean, look, let's not forget something." "She packed my bags." "Mmm-hmm." "She packed my bags." "She packed a sleeping man's bags."

"Oh, I dreamt that Dusty caught you with a teenage girl and you tried to tell her that you and Dusty were both Mormons and that the girl was just a sister wife." "Well, you know, honestly, though, not far off." "When did you have that dream, Gus?" "Last week." "That's sort of prescient, really." "All that acid's made him prescient." "Is that right?"

"I mean, you understand that she broke up with me via text literally while engorged by her choreographer while she was on the road." "I mean, it's not a joke." "I think, uh, she's been sober almost a year." "Oh!" "Almost." "A record." "Yeah, that's right." "And well, I think she misses you." "So I thought I'd, you know, run it by you just to see if you were, I don't know, interested." "All right." "No, that's totally appropriate of you to have done that." "Um, maybe you should ask her out." "Really?" "No." "No!" "What is wrong..." "No!" "It's like me..." "I'm sure Dusty'll call, Jose." "No, no, no." "I can't do that back and forth thing with Dusty."

"Well, maybe he's proposing, then." "To Mexicano." "Hello." "Hello." "Hello." "I said hello!" "Hello!" "Oh, honey, honey, give me that, hon." "It's broken." "Call failed." "You know, who..." "What's 805?" "805, Ventura County, Santa Barbara." "Why do you know that?" "UC Santa Barbara." "Oh." "Gabe, you need to get ready." "Would you get off the phone?" "People are coming in half an hour." "Hey, I'm aware that people are coming in a half an hour." "I'm writing an e-mail to a student." "Oh, well, at least you still have one of those." "Yes, Kate, I still have one of those." "Jesus Christ, what is the fucking problem?" "You've been on the warpath." "People are canceling, Gabe." "Kevin's mother called today." "She said that you taught him how to play Wang Dang Sweet Poontang." "Hey, do you have any idea how difficult it is to arrange." "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang (or the piano'!" "?" "It stimulates their little fingers, their little minds." "Are you kidding me right now?" "Are you fucking kidding me?" "You're a fucking child." "What, you have Jose on the couch" " while you teach your lessons?" " Hey, you know what?" "I'm spending time with a friend, okay?" "Who's leaving today." "You're supposed to be at work!" "So what difference does it make?" "I'm at work!" "You know what, I am a..." "That's work?" "I'm a good boy, okay?" "Lam a good boy." "I've been a good boy for 25 years since I went into rehab." "I've been a good boy every fucking day in this relationship." "And I've been a good boy since I quit the band!" "And what?" "What?" "I'm the bad guy?" "I'm the bad guy for working so hard for this fucking family?" "I'm the bad guy?" "I'm the fucking grown up, Gabe!" "Hey, I've been a grown up since I was 17." "No, you have been sober since you were 17, and that is not the same thing." "Oh, my God, come on!" "Are you fucking kidding me right now?" "Jesus!" "Give me a fucking break!" "No." "No!" "You can't have a break because I can't have a break because we can't because we are pregnant!" "With twins!" "Holy shit." "What's twins?" "It's like two of you, sweetie." "UvaDisc!" "It smells amazing." "Oh, yeah, you're probably getting the galangal, which is a very, very kind of potent..." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "It's like ginger gone bad." "Yeah." "I'm sorry, I've been a little tense." "Carrying a litter, apparently." "Oh, no problem, darling." "You really saved us here." "Thank you so much." "Hey, listen, it's my pleasure." "Just point me in the direction of the damaged divorcees." "Or actually, you know what?" "Unhappily married women, I don't care." "You know what, actually can you just wait until the people come maybe?" "I'll take anyone at this point." "Really?" "Yeah, just..." "Maybe Mickey you could put some tin foil over it or something." "Hi." "Hi." "Couple questions about my set." "Would you like me to err more on the side of my 4-year-old humor or my 40-year-old stuff?" "Well, what's the difference?" "Sailor jokes." "You know, blue stuff." "Hi." "Say hi." "Oh, sweetheart." "It's okay, it's okay." "It's all right." "Kids hate me." "It's okay." "Gabe, should we lose the clown?" "Sure." "Thank you, man." "Hey, buddy." "I call this Tom and Jerry." "Gus." "Hey, Jose, happy birthday, man." "Thank you, man." "Nice of you to be here." "I had a very vivid dream." "Oh, yeah?" "Yeah." "What was it, Gus?" "You were on the beach with Dusty or it was Linda wearing Dusty's shoes." "You had this large sombrero that totally covered your face." "And Dusty..." "Linda, lifted the sombrero from your head, and it wasn't you." "It was Pepe." "Pepe from the liquor store?" "Pepe from the liquor store." "Oh, Gus, that's uncannily similar to a dream I just had." "Maybe you were both abducted." "That's not funny, man." "Many felicitous arrivals." "Oh, that's lovely." "Look at that." "That's lovely." "Lovely." "Thank you." "Gus, how, I don't know, accurate would you say this prescience is of yours?" "I would say about 60, 70." "Do you want to get some lemonade?" "Where's Jose's hot mom?" "I used to love sleeping over at their house when we were kids." "Van Halen went on without David Lee Roth." "Hey, we can get Sammy Hagar." "Hey, you guys, that's not gonna be too loud, is it?" "It'll be all right." "I'm using these." "They do this sort of thing for a living, honey." "You all right there, buddy?" "Oh, shit." "My parents fight a lot." "I know you seen my face in your Whole Food." "Yeah, a motherfucking free range and vegan dude." "I don't know if I can handle having a kid that cool." "I'd probably have to Munchausen by proxy." "He's probably seen more tail than I have in the last three years." "Three?" "You see that kid?" "Yeah." "No, do you see that kid?" "That kid is our little slice of the American pie dream." "The what?" "What the fuck was that?" "Oh, my God." "That's my sweet spot right there." "I'm going in." "Sorry, sorry." "Hey, Bro." "Yeah." "How you holding up, man?" "Okay?" "Yeah, yeah, good." "It's good times, man." "Yeah?" "Having fun." "Okay." "Hey, listen, you had mentioned before, you know, something about Facebooking Dusty." "You're Facebook friends with her?" "Uh..." "Not exactly." "Okay, what does that mean?" "Technically, she blocked me." "What do you mean, technically?" "Well, I may have recently hack friended her." "Okay, does that mean that you can see her page or..." "Theoretically, yes." "Okay, so theoretically, would you be able to check to see if she's doing okay?" "I just want to make sure because I haven't heard from her." "I just want to make sure she's..." "Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." "No, way ahead of you there, buddy." "She is definitely alive." "I was way off on that one." "Okay." "All right." "Are there any status updates or, you know?" "Just says, "Went on my honeymoon, off the grid for two weeks."" "Adios." "What?" "I think she may have taken those coupons and gone on your honeymoon without you." "Jesus Christ, why do you know about the coupons?" "What coupons?" "Never mind." "Why didn't you tell me this?" "I'm not excellent with judgment calls." "Okay." "Don't know why this is news." "Jesus, she went to Mexico alone?" "I mean, I hope she went alone." "I don't even know what I'm rooting for at this point." "ls there anything else?" "Yeah, Dr. Steve is housesitting." "It's all on Facebook." "I'd show you." "Oh, okay." "All right." "Well, thanks for telling me, you know." "I mean..." "All right, all right." "You're welcome, buddy." "Okay, so you sure there's nothing else of any consequence you're maybe forgetting, omitting?" "Oh, that honeymoon comment got 31 likes." "All right." "You all set?" "Sorry." "Sorry." "Gotta approach him from the front." "Okay?" "Okay." "Hi." "Hi, everybody." "Thank you so much for coming to Violet's 4th and Jose's 40th birthday." "Anyway, this year we decided not to do a bouncy house, but we do have an amazing band." "Jose's band and Gabe's old band, actually." "Erstwhile!" "Wha I prefer erstwhile." "All right, so without any further ado, the erstwhile line up of Jose and the Borges." "Yay, Daddy!" "Thank you, Kate." "This is dedicated to your couch." "When was the last time you smoked a joint at a children's birthday party?" "August."

"I'm gonna have to do the rest in English if that's okay." "Okay, thanks." "Yes, I was wondering if you could connect me to Dusty Morrison's room?" "Uh..." "Hmm." "Okay." "What about, I don't know, what about Dusty Stern?" "No?" "All right, what about, I don't know, Joseph Stern?" "My name is Joseph Stern, actually." "Okay."

"I gave them every surname I could think of." "Did you marry somebody else?" "I'm in Santa Barbara." "You're in Santa..." "Why?" "It said you were on your honeymoon on Facebook and Gus dreamed a dream I had sort of that you were in Mexico." "I've been trying to reach you." "My e-mails kept bouncing back." "I mean, I've been calling you for days." "Ever since I got here." "Really?" "Oh, goddamn phone." "You're in Mexico?" "Yeah, I flew down." "I flew down to Mexico to rescue you from drug lords or win you back from a full-blooded Mexican man or..." "What, you flew?" "Yes, I flew." "Yeah, believe me, I flew." "I'm like 10 pounds lighter." "Santa Barbara, I don't understand." "I was gonna go to Mexico." "I was furious, and I was gonna go on our goddamn honeymoon if it was the last goddamn thing I did." "Yeah, well, literally." "It's terrifying down here." "No, it's not." "You're basically in San Diego." "Anyway, I couldn't do it." "It's not me." "It felt like something someone would do but not me." "So I decided to come here for your birthday." "So you're on my birthday and I'm on our honeymoon?" "Yeah, I guess so." "This has nothing to do with, you know, Dave, right?" "Who's Dave?" "Dave." "Bob." "Steve." "Dr. Bob." "Steve?" "The guy from, you know, the handsome." "Bob." "No, he's housesitting." "Bob, is that what this is about?" "No, no." "No." "I came down here because I wanted you to know something." "Okay." "I came down here because I wanted you to know that I'm..." "Because I wanted you to know that I'm..." "That I'm a little queasy, I think, from the flight or the food on the flight." "I don't know if it was really food exactly." "Sorry, I just..." "Oh, God!" "Jesus." "I just got a..." "Sorry..."
