"I was watching a program about the-- people on other planets." "You know, I don't really care anymore." "Like, I'm sure there's probably people on other planets." "I just don't-- I don't care." "I'm not curious anymore about the wonders" "The wonders of the universe." "What are the origins of the" "I don't care." "I feel like I know enough things." "I don't need any more." "I mean, go ahead and tell me, hey, did you find out" "We found out, and it's all-- Universe is a cupcake." "All right, fine, I don't care." "All right, that too, now." "But I'm not dying to know about people on other" "Like, these people on the radio are being very intelligent and they're saying there's certainly life on other planets, certainly intelligent life, and we're out there looking." "And I think, you know what?" "Let's not" "Let's not go looking." "Let's not go" "Maybe we'll bump into 'em, but let's" "I don't think there's a good version of the "we found another planet of people" story." "There's very few good versions." "'Cause it's a whole-- It's not like it's just gonna" "It's us and then just one alien." "We found one guy!" "There's us and there's this one guy." "So it's gonna be a whole planet of another kind of people and it's not gonna be good, 'cause they got their own" "'Cause we're very, like, egocentric." "We think that if there's aliens, they're gonna come and they're gonna be like," ""Hey, you guys, we're the aliens." "You're, like, people, but we're just aliens." ""Like, we're part of your experience, so whatever we can do to make this enjoyable for you."" "I mean, even if they're way ahead of us, there's no way they're perfectly exactly the same." "So either they're way ahead of us, which means we are automatically someone else's South America." "Like, immediately, we're going to be the South America planet of some America planet."

"Where?" "After school?" "Actually, she's" "Because Checkers is gonna start playing the violin and maybe they could do it together?" "Music lessons are in the art room, right?"

"She's our surrogate." "No, how wonderful, hello!" "May I?" "Yeah, go right ahead." "Wow." "Isn't it amazing?" "So how'd you do it?" "We got sperm from my friend at work who's gay and who died, then we each put an egg in this thing that" "It spins around." "It randomly mixes the eggs, so we have no idea." "So is it like in Yahtzee where you put the dice in the cup and you..." "So she is having natural childbirth." "She is getting no meds." "That's wonderful." "Isn't it?" "Yep." "You're having a baby and it's gonna be their baby?" "It's private." "We're having a private conversation." "And so, we're using the birthing center, natural birthing center in Brooklyn, have you heard of that place?" "It is awesome." "Yeah." "They don't-- They're not sanctioned." "You know, it's all about natural, it's all about, you know, these vaccines are killing these kids." "It's privately funded." "No, it's not." "Hey." "Oh, hey." "I have an uber here, you want a ride?" "Oh, no, I'm gonna get a cab, that's all right." "It's fine, they're paying for it." "Which way are you going?" "Oh, I'm going downtown, but I can get a taxi." "That's the same as me, come on."

"My swollen feet." "Yeah, living in a five-floor walkup." "What was I thinking?" "Actually, can you help me?" "'Cause I-- I have" "Listen, can I use your bathroom?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever." "Your bathroom?" "Oh, yeah, it's right here." "Oh, thank you, thanks, sorry." "(urinating)" "(toilet flushes)" "Hey, thank you." "Oh, shit." "I'm-- I'm sorry." "No, it's not-- I'm sorry." "No, it's okay, I'm just" "It's, like, crazy pregnant hormones." "I can't help it." "No, no, no, no." "I got" "I know, I remember-- I have two kids, so I can" "I" " There" "Listen, this is just-- This is okay." "This is-- I remember my kids' mom, she would be, like, one day on" "Like, you know, trying to build a house and-- and then she's on the floor wailing and crying, so..." "That's the hardest thing I ever saw anybody do, so just the whole" "My" " I-- You know." "Well, she was lucky to have you with her." "I mean, Marina and Dinella are nice, but I'm doing this all alone and I" "I had no idea how hard it was gonna be, like" "I mean, I just eat and exist." "I don't even enjoy food." "I've ceased to be a sexual being," "I didn't even have sex to get like this and now look at me, I'm like a mess." "(sighs)" "(chuckling)" "Well..." "Yeah, sorry." "I should go." "This is not your problem." "No, no, no, no, no." "I just-- I don't wanna" "No." "I don't wanna intrude on your..." "That's fine." "Okay." "You all right?" "Mm-hmm." "Okay, I" "Let me just say, 'cause I'm leaving, okay?" "So I'm not a guy who's-- I'm not trying to..." "Just, I just-- I remember my ex-wife, when she was like this, there's things that she needed to hear, so I would say them, but in this case it's true, which is that you" "I've never seen you any other way." "This is you as far as I'm concerned." "You're a lady with a huge belly, like, that's what you are, and you're gorgeous." "I mean, even if there wasn't a baby in there," "I'd be like, oh, my God, like, you just" "You're like a classical painting of, like, a life goddess you know, if it was in Playboy in the '70s, like, seriously." "Like, you're erotic and gorgeous and cute and you're lovely and I wish I could look at you all day long." "I" "And so I just want to say that as I go, so that you don't" "I'm not trying to" "Just, you're awesome like this, so congratulations on that." "What are you" "Yeah." "Really?" "Come on." "Yeah, let's do this." "Are you serious?" "Yes, absolutely." "Really?" "Yeah." "Come on." "Okay." "Yeah." "Okay." "All right, okay, all right." "Oh, my God." "Ah!" "(moaning)" "Oh, my God." "Yeah." "Oh, yeah!" "(moaning)" "(cries out)" "Oh, my God!" "(water splashes)" "Oh, shit!" "Oh, shit!" "Oh, shit!" "Okay, okay!" "Oh, my God!" "Okay, okay!" "Oh, shit!" "Take it easy, take it easy." "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait..." "Let me just..." "Here." "Ow!" "No, no, no, no, no, no." "Let's get you" "♪" "(sighs)" "Oh, oh, I see him." "Oh, there you are." "Marina, I'm sorry." "You asshole." "You worthless piece of shit." "Do you know how hard we tried to have this baby in our way and then you went and jizzed all over his face?" "We had a reservation in Brooklyn and now we are at Bellevue." "I didn't come, I didn't." "What?" "I'm just saying" "Are you-- Are you psychotic?" "I didn't get any" "Like, do you have brain damage?" "There is something really severely wrong with you." "Just ignore him." "He didn't come." "We need to focus on the baby right now, okay?" "Shut up, Dinella, just shut up." "Look." "I'm sorry, I did" "Some things don't work out the way you planned them, okay?" "It's just-- An accident." "Are you kidding me?" "What did you just say?" "Baby, please." "Please just-- Just shut up, Dinella." "Congratulations on your... baby." "Congratulations." "I think I gotta go home." "Oh, you do?" "Yeah." "Oh, you think you gotta go home?" "Yeah." "Oh, okay." "Why don't you go home?" "And while you're there, why don't you do the world a favor and cut off your dick and then eat it?" "Stupid idiot." "You know what I really enjoy is when my friends want to be racist, so..." "But they want to be quiet about it, so they just talk like the Penguin from Batman." "You know?" "It's like, "Hey, look at that black guy." ""What guy?"" "(Penguin impression) "The black." "Black guy." ""Black, black guy." "Black people." "Black, black, black.""
