"Subtitles:" "Nathbot ~ bufgelfly ~" "Let me tell you about the women in my life." "I'm beset by them." "I'm undone by them." "I'm in awe of them." "I'm in love with them." "Maybe it's time I have a boy." "Wouldn't that be nice?" "Dad!" "Alley-oop." "My man!" "That'd be nice." "{\pos(200,220)}Remember, coaches, you want to be aware of what she wants." "{\pos(200,220)}If she wants to be massaged." "{\pos(200,220)}Maybe she likes to have her feet rubbed." "Relax, and exhale, let it all go." "Let the shoulders drop." "{\pos(200,220)}Arms open and relaxed, no clenching." "Good, everyone." "{\pos(200,220)}Nice." "When Grace was a baby, she used to whisper things in my ear." "Like she was telling me secrets." "So, how is the play going?" "It's OK." "OK?" "You're the star." "How can it be just OK?" "I don't know, it just is." " Who's that boy I saw you with" " Just a friend." "Dad." "I really want to hear this song, OK?" "daughters have a way of putting you under their spell." "The way they reach up and... scratch your whiskers when you haven't shaved." "Or the way they offer you up their little foot to tie their shoes." "You chew funny." "How do I chew?" "You chew too fast." "Like a dog that doesn't chew before he swallows." "Yes, you do." "Open your mouth." "What do you think you're doing?" "Dad won't open his mouth." " Tickle him under his arms." " Hey!" "Don't start with me." "Let me try his feet!" "Stop... oh, no!" "Help!" "Ah!" "They're completely and utterly... bewitching." "Zoe, you think you could help at all?" "Sorry, this book is so funny." "Can I have it?" "Who's that?" "The new coffee person." " Judy?" " What?" "Oh, yes, you can have it." "Are you gonna have a grand opening?" "I don't know, grand opening makes me think of supermarkets." "I think I'll just open." "But it'd be great if you mentioned it on the air, if you're so inclined." "Oh, yeah, that's a possibility." "Hey, guys!" "This purse is so heavy and there's nothing in it." "{\pos(190,200)}Hi, Tiffany!" "{\pos(190,200)}" " How's the baby?" " He's good!" "So it's a "he"?" "{\pos(190,200)}" " I'm gonna have a brother?" " Yeah." "I don't know." "{\pos(190,200)}I just say "him" because I don't like to say "it"." "But you don't know." "{\pos(190,200)}I feel like I know, kind of, in my heart." " You wanna feel?" " I knew Grace was gonna be a girl." " You did?" " Yeah, I just knew." "That's how I feel." "{\pos(190,200)}Are you having a baby shower?" "Not unless you have one for me." " I'll have one for you." " Zoe!" "{\pos(190,200)}I was just kidding." "But yo have to have a baby shower." "That's how you get presents." "Plus, I wanna go." "OK, you know what?" "If I have a baby shower," "I will make sure you are invited." "Tiffany, are any of your friends planning to give you one?" "My friend Nona was going to, and she flaked because her boyfriend disappeared." "I see." "You know what?" "If you want, Tiffany, we could give you a little shower." " Something small." " Not that small!" "That's really sweet, but you don't have to do that." "We want to." "Right, Judy?" "Yeah, I love showers." "I always give the same thing:" "a receiving blanket." "I buy them ten at a time." "Just think about it and let us now." "I will." "God, you're so nice to be so nice to me!" "I have to pee!" "Vic!" "Vic, you seen these transitions?" "Someone could trip over these." "You think you can fix it?" "About the time we open next week?" "Thanks, Vic." "Do you still have time to do that hospital tour with me?" " What time is that again?" " It's at eight." "Yeah, I'll pick you up at 7:30." "Could you do 7:15?" "I just don't want to be late." "That's fine." "Excuse me one second, I have to check..." "Jake, somebody could trip over here." " Maybe we should get it fixed?" " Hey, that's a good idea." "Like I said:" "I'm beset." "Excuse me, I'm gonna... check..." "You know, I took a course in feng shui, if you need any help with that kind of thing." "Really?" "Great, maybe." " I'm gonna sit down." " I'm sorry." "No, no, no." "Thanks." "Are you OK?" "Can I get you anything?" "No, I'm fine, I'm just... feeling a little large, you know." "Well, you look absolutely... great." "You have that... glow thing." "Really?" "Thanks." "What?" "I just had a flash or something." " Of what?" " Of you with a baby." " What do you mean?" " I just had a vision, of you holding a baby." " You did?" " Just now." "Whose baby was it?" "Your baby." "Definitely your baby." "How do you know?" "It's just clear to me." "Well, I can't see how that would happen!" "You know... anytime soon." "It's what I saw." "Anyway, I should take a nap before" " The hospital." "Let me help you." " No, I'm fine." " You sure?" " Yeah." "At my friend Sarah Salinger's mom's baby shower, they had, like, this ceremony." "What kind?" "With candles and chanting." "I don't remember exactly, but... it had something to do with women being goddesses." " I'm not going to this." " Grace, guess what." "You have to go." "I don't understand this baby culture thing." " What are you talking about?" " Yeah, what?" "It just seems like everywhere you go, there are people with strollers." " So?" " So, I don't get it." "You will one day." "I might not." "Just..." "I don't like the smell of hospitals." "Everything seems so sterile." "It's a hospital." "But I think I'd feel better having the baby at home." "We should look into a midwife." "You know, insurance won't pay for that." "I know, I'm just-- I'm not comfortable." "Did I tell you that Zoe wants to have a baby shower for me?" " No, I'd have remembered that." " Isn't that sweet?" "Yes, that's very sweet." "How did this happen?" "What do you mean?" "I just wonder how it came to be." "It was Zoe's idea, and Lily's too, I guess." "You don't have to be involved, if that's what worries you." "Here's what concerns me." "What?" "I don't want Grace and Zoe getting the wrong impression." " And what impression would that be?" " You know, that we're" "Come on..." "I don't want them having any expectation about our relationship." "Especially Zoe." "Whatever our relationship is, Jake, this is still Zoe's sibling that's in my stomach." "And she's gonna have expectations about that." "No, I know that." "I'm just saying" "Kids see things more intensely." "You let her throw you a baby shower, they'll think we're getting married." "I don't think that's a good idea, you know?" "If you want a baby shower, have your girlfriends throw you one." "Fine, I'll tell them no." "I mean, if you're gonna have one, they can go." "I'm not against it." "I just think it's better this way." "I got it." "Zoe, it's Tiffany." "I just read about this great game we could do at your shower." "Except it's kind of gross, cause you have to taste baby food." "It does sound pretty gross." "Listen, Zoe, is your mom around?" "I need to talk to her for a second." "Yeah, sure, hold on a second." "Mom, phone!" "Hey, Lily, it's Tiffany." "I'm just calling to let you know that I'm really sorry, but I don't think I can do the baby shower." "Why not?" "I just" " I might be going out of town." "Is everything OK?" "Oh, yeah, everything's fine." "Where are you going?" "I think I'm gonna go back home, to Madison." "For how long?" "I'm not sure." "Are you thinking of having the baby there?" "I don't know, I might." "I might stay." "So, anyway..." "I just wanted to thank you, it was a really sweet gesture." "And it meant a lot to me." "So thank you, Lily, and thank Zoe for me, OK?" "I didn't expect you." "Where is the..." "Where's the crib?" "I can do that after the stroller here." "I don't think that's such a good idea." "It's OK, I don't mind." "No, it's just that..." "I might be going home to Madison to have the baby." " I see." " So I wouldn't want you to do" "I don't think you should do that." " You don't?" " No." "Why not?" "Because..." "I'd think you'd be thrilled, you know?" "You're off the hook." "If you're doing it because you think it's the right thing, that's fine, but if you do it because of me, then I..." "I think it's a bad idea." " You do?" " Yeah." "OK, see, now, I don't understand." "You confuse me, because..." "here you are..." "I wanna be there for the baby, that's not gonna change." "But what does it mean in terms of..." "What?" "In terms of what?" "In terms of sometimes you come over here and we sleep together." "Babe, can you hear me?" "Babe, can you hear me?" "Yeah, I don't..." "I don't know exactly." "Well, can you see how I'm confused?" "Probably Judy." "Then, you should probably go." "I'll be back." "Look, if you mean it..." "I won't leave." "Because I'd rather stay." "I think you should." "Stay." "But it's your decision." "Baby will enjoy this gentle rocking in the womb." "Now come back to the center." "Open your ribcage, push your chest forward." "I brought you something." "May I come in?" " Come in." " Thank you." "Is that a loom?" "I couldn't let you go to Wisconsin without... a baby snowsuit." "Thank you!" "It's so cute!" "Would you like some sage tea?" "I was about to have some." "It strengthens the uterus." "Sure, I'll have some." "So, when are you thinking about leaving?" "I have to be honest," "I don't really know what I'm doing." "Then you might be staying?" "I might." "That's good, isn't it?" "I think so, I mean..." "I don't know." "I'm so indecisive right now." "What does Jake think?" "I don't even know, I mean, it's not clear to me, it's..." "One minute he's really sweet and generous, and then the next minute, he completely checks out." "Does that make sense?" "Gee, I wouldn't know." "But I do want to stay." "I want the baby to know him." "And the baby should know Grace and Zoe." "It's true." "If you decide to stay," "I want you to know that if you need anything, we're here." "You have a family." "The baby has a family." "Thank you, Lily!" "So, you'll let us have a shower for you?" "Yes, I'd love that." "Good." "Terrific." "Bye bye." "That's the 3rd singles party we booked and we're not even opened yet!" "That's great." "Where do you want this thing?" "Let me give you a hand." "Put it against the wall over there." "You guys made this?" "I did, and it actually took a very long time." "His partner did all the real work." "It looks... incredible." " Thank you." " You're welcome." "So, we should get back to the Dreiser." "Yeah, let me talk with Vic first." "I won't be a minute." "Good, you got two minutes." "I have to get..." "Oh, it's in the office..." "How's that going over there, the Dreiser?" "It's good." "We have to... shamelessly sell our souls to some investors right now..." "It's good." "So, you were married to Lily?" "Oh, you said it." "How about you, you married?" "Separated." " Kids?" " One." "Boy." "He's eleven." "I'm having another one." "Imminently." "Permanently." "Why didn't you just get yourself a dog?" "We should go." " Let me straighten your" " OK." " See you, Jake." " Good luck." " You too." " Listen, Jake." " Yes, Judy?" "I wanted to talk to you about that barista you hired." "What about her?" "She doesn't seem super swift." "She's got a lot of experience and great references." "She does." "I swear!" "Give her a chance." "I have to be comfortable with people who work for me." "I've been doing this for years." "I know how to hire the right people." "I understand that but" "Hi." "Judy Brooks?" "Hi, I'm Kate Sleigh." "From the Trib'." "Oh, yeah, I completely forgot you were coming." "Do you still have time for a quick interview and a few pictures?" "Absolutely, I need all the publicity we can get." "Great." "Is there a place we could go, away from these workmen?" "Sure, right back here..." "Jake, do you hear what I'm saying?" "Are you listening?" " Babe, can you hear me?" " Jake, are you listening?" "Could you not rub your disgusting feet into my pillows?" "Grace, is this you or me?" "That's you." "I was so cute!" "Do you want the baby to be a boy or a girl?" "I think a boy would be much better." "Yeah, Dad would have someone to play baseball with." "I don't know how much time Dad is gonna want to spend with Tiffany's baby." "What do you mean?" "It's his baby, too." "I'm just saying, he clearly doesn't want to marry Tiffany, so..." "But you're right, he'll probably be thrilled to finally have a boy." "You know what'd be a great decoration for the shower?" "All our old baby pictures." " We could make a collage." " Exactly." "Look at your big ears." "They're massive." "I got to get out of here." "Morning!" "I think the girls are still upstairs." " Have a great day." " See ya." "Take care." " They'll be down in a minute." " Right, great." "Listen, Lil, I" "I've been meaning to ask anyway." "You want me to start waiting in the car?" "I can honk." "Whatever is more comfortable for you is fine." "I don't know if Tiffany told you, we're gonna have a baby shower for her." "I just wanted to let you know it was fine if you decided to come." "Yeah, she mentioned something... about that." "But I didn't know that it was..." "actually happening." "Why wouldn't it happen?" "I just don't think it's a very good idea for Grace and Zoe." "Baby's gonna be their brother or sister." " I wish you had checked with me first." " Why?" "Because I might have an opinion about it." "I don't understand why you're so upset about a shower." "And I don't understand why you have to be so involved with Tiffany." "I wanted to do something for her." "That is so..." "nice and saintly of you," " but you really didn't have to." " You want me to call it off?" " Yes." "Actually, yeah." " You're being ridiculous." "And you just can't seem to stay out of my business, can you?" "Jake, are you confused by the words coming out of my mouth?" "Hey, Dad." "Daddy, are you coming to the baby shower?" "The father has to be there for the Earth Mother Guardian circle." "The what?" "I wanted a cake from Chico's." "Can you get them to do something special?" "And I really need your help with the food." "Could you please help us?" "Please?" "Of course, I can do that." "I'm not happy with these tomatoes." "It seems to happen ev" "Jake, hi." "If you're calling to remind me about the food, it's being taken care of." "Oh, great." "I was calling to see if you would take Zoe to get a present tonight." "I have Lamaze class." "Could you go first thing in the morning before the shower?" "You have to pick up the cake anyway, right?" "So, you'll do it?" " Yes, sir, ma'am." " Thank you." "Why are we getting a produce delivery when we don't open til next week?" "Isn't this gonna go bad?" "I agreed to do the food for the baby shower." "Who's gonna pay for that?" "I guess I am." "Maybe we can work something out." "Hey." "I gotta get some..." " Don't forget" " I know, Lamaze class." "How are you?" "I'm OK, thanks." "Actually, I've got an appointment." "Is everything OK between you guys?" "Because I sense a little tension." "It will work itself out." "You know, I think that you guys have a strong karmic ribbon between you two." "Like you were in a past life together." "You do?" "It's so funny." "The more pregnant I get, the more clearly I can see all these connections." "You know, Tiffany, not everything has a cosmic significance." "Sometimes, people just..." "don't get along." "I don't see how that can be true." "So, any problems with your birth control pills?" "Any headaches?" " No." " Do you need a refill?" "Yeah, I guess so." "So, I guess I will see you next year, unless... you have anything else?" "Well, I did want to ask you..." "Since I'm here about me..." "About the possibility that I might someday want to... have a baby." " Someday." " What's your question?" "Since I'm not with anyone exactly," "I want to know how much time I have and if I should start thinking about, you know... doing it by myself." "In vitro fertilization." "I see." "What are you, thirty-five?" "Thirty-six." "Approaching thirty-seven." "Approaching nursing home." "Well, Judy, in most women, eggs quality does begin to decline as they approach forty." "Now, that is not to say that you don't have superb egg quality, and you could continue to have that." "So, what is it exactly that you're saying?" "I mean, how much time do you think I have before..." "We could screen you, see how your eggs are doing." "How's it going?" "Still looking." "Give me a minute." "Let me think about that." "It's great." "Thanks." "No problem." "Bye bye." "Look at this!" "This is exquisite!" "Zoe, it's a little expensive, sweetie." " But it's so beautiful." " I'm not sure if it's practical." "Let's keep looking for now." "Hi, can I help you find anything?" "Yes, we're looking for a gift, for a baby shower." " Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?" " Nope." "No, we don't." "Let me go pull some things." "I'll be right back." "Great." "That'd be great." "Thank you." "Dad, look at this." "Isn't this soft?" "Zoe, you have an uncanny ability to pick the most expensive things in the store." " But it's perfect." " Sweetie, it's too much money." "Now, we can get her something very nice that I can afford." " Like what?" " I have no idea." "Here." "Perfect." "A mobile." "What about the shoes you saw on the way in?" "I have money at home and I can get some from Grace." "Don't be silly." "I want to get something special." "Don't you want the baby to have nice things?" "Of course I" "But Zoe, it's just a token." "It doesn't have to be an enormous gift." "What do you mean?" "It's your baby!" "How can you say that?" "Honey, it's not like it was with you and Grace." "Why not?" "So, these sets are good for either boy or girl." "Look at these!" "These are cute..." "Aren't these cute?" "I don't want those." "Come on, now, be reasonable." " I don't want anything." "I wanna go." " You've got to get something." "No, I don't." "It's your baby." "I'm leaving." "Sorry, I'll be... excuse me." "So, I'm thinking about in vitro fertilization." "You are?" " Yeah, I'm looking into it." " Why?" "You still have time." " I may not." " Judy, you're so young." "The reality is, I may not find somebody." "And you know I want children." "Well, wouldn't you need somebody's..." "Seed?" "Yes, I would need a donor." "Judy, you would have a baby by yourself?"" "I might." "I don't know." "Well, I think that's..." "What?" "Stupid?" "Tragic?" "Brave?" "One of those." "Hey, you're here kind of early." "Look at this place with all the decorations!" "It's so exciting!" "Can I get you something to drink?" "Just water." " Milk." " OK." "I'll be right back." " Grace, wait." " What?" "Come here." "Feel, the baby's kicking!" "Oh, my God!" "It's so wild." "My half-sister Brandi's coming to the shower today, I think you'll like her." "She used to be a roadie for Aerosmith." "So, do you really think it's a boy?" "So do I." " I'll go get your milk." " Thanks." "Hey, little one." " Ew." "What is that?" " Olive tapenade." " I thought anchovies." " Well, it's not." " Good." " Did you get a present?" "We had a little problem." " Daddy wouldn't spend any money." " You know that's not true." " The shower is in {\a matter of }minutes." " She refused to get a present!" "Great, that was supposed to be from the both of us.{\What am I supposed to do?" "}" "I can put your names on my gift." "I asked you to do one thing" "Are you kidding?" "You asked me" "You asked me to do ten things." "And pay for all of it." "And for something that I don't even agree with!" "Why not?" "Fine." "You're right." "Thank you very much." "What else do you want me to do?" "Here I am!" "You want me to vacuum?" "You want me to serve drinks?" "What?" "Tell me!" "Demonstrate the breast pump for the ladies?" "I know how!" "What I don't know, Lily, what I have no freaking idea about, is what you all want from me!" "OK?" "None!" "Yes!" "What!" "Are you staying for the shower?" "No, I'm not staying for the shower!" "Fine." " You guys need a hand?" " Hey, Jake." " How's it going?" " Good." "What do you think?" "It's good." "You guys are..." "going to shoot some hoops?" "We were gonna, if I could get him to stop working for one minute." "They've got that baby shower going on at the house..." " So you're hiding out?" " Pretty much." "They must be doing something with doilies." " Expressing their feelings." " Bonding." "They only need us for sperm anyhow." "You wanna come with?" "No, I can't..." "Come on, we'll sprain something." "It'll be fun." "Maybe next time." "Alright." "Later for you." "God, Tiff, your boobs are huge!" " Real milkers." " I know." "Hey, Grace, have you met Brandi?" " Oh, hi, you're her..." " Evil half-sister." "Nice to meet you." "We were just talking about Tiffany's breasts." "Oh, cool." "You're funny, Grace." " I am?" " Totally." "Grace, who's this guy?" "That's my step-father." "He's a hottie!" "That is not a conversation that I can have." "Who's this guy?" "Oh, my God." "Hey, Tiff..." "May I come in?" "Why not." "This office was a good idea." "Yeah, Judy's full of good ideas." "Shouldn't you be at the shower?" "Jake, I need to say something." "I'm sure you do." "I think I've been insensitive, and I want to apologize for that." "I know you're not a bad person, and I know that I... tend to treat you like one." "That's nice of you, to come and say that." "But I just blew up in front of my girls and I can only imagine what they think of that." "Jake, they love you." "You have to know that." "Sometimes I wonder if everybody wouldn't be better off if I just... went somewhere." "Why, because everyone wants something from you?" "Why do you think that is, Jake?" "Do you realize how they see you?" " As a screw-up?" " No." "They see you as this powerful figure in their lives, who knows things, and can do things and can give them protection and love and... and fun." "Why do you think my father loved you so much?" "Because he knew you would take care of us no matter what." "He knew you were that kind of person." "You didn't think I was that kind of person." "There were a lot of things wrong with our marriage, but none of them had to do with who you are as a father." "I gotta get back." " Are there any more of those noodles?" " Right here." "I can't seem to stop eating." "I know that feeling." "And I'm not even pregnant." "This is a great party." "I'm having the best time." "That's good." " Can I ask you a question?" " Sure." "How does that feel, to know you have... this life inside you?" "It's the strangest thing." "What do you mean?" "I have to be honest, sometimes it feels like indigestion." "But other times, when I'm so completely aware that there's this little person inside me who will... have an opinion and a hairstyle and a certain laugh, it's just so amazing to me that this is even possible." "I don't know, I'm not very good at describing things." "I think you are." "It's a mobile!" "Thank you so much!" "Laney, I needed one." "Look what I got!" " Those are great." "Who gave you that?" " Laney." "Thank you, little miss." "That's from me." "You wear it during labor, it has soothing powers." "Brandi, I love this." "Does that also tell the sex of..." "Yeah, you can use it to find out the sex of the baby." "If it swings, it's a boy." "If it spins, it's a girl." "I thought it was if it spins, it's a boy." "No, if it swings, it's a boy." "Definitely." " Now, I think it's swinging!" " It's a boy!" " This is from Zoe and me." " Thank you." "God, you guys..." "This is the most precious thing I've ever seen in my life!" "I'm really really touched." "Thank you." "Thank you, Zoe." " You're welcome." " Thank you, Grace." "You have to get that in gray." "What happened?" "Thanks." "So, Mom, Brandi..." "It's the daddy!" "Come in!" "Brandi, Tiffany's sister." "Oh, yeah, how you doing?" "Dad, we're gonna do cake now." "You want some?" "That's OK." "Oh, I want cake." "What's happened over there, Judy?" "Next gift..." "OK if I come in?" "Don't you want some cake?" "My stomach hurts a little." " You want me to get some ginger ale?" " No." "You want me to leave you alone?" "Are you gonna marry Tiffany?" "Probably not." "Why not?" "Cause I don't think we're ready to live together." "What about the baby?" "Is he gonna live with you sometimes like we do?" "We haven't figured that out, yet." "Do you want him to live with you?" "I think that... while he's still a baby, it's probably best for him to stay with Tiffany." " Will you ever visit him?" " Of course I will." "Sweetie, listen to me." "You understand that being your dad and being Grace's dad, it's been the most important thing in my life?" "And frankly... it's the only thing that's given me any sense of accomplishment or meaning." "Now, I could never know that there was a child out there who was mine," "that I didn't take care of... and love." "Do you understand that?" "Maybe." "It's OK if you're mad at me." "I can be pretty stupid sometimes." "Thanks for getting that present." "Oh, sweetness..." "Sweetness baby." "You were right about it." "It really is special." "I'm glad we got it." "OK, so, this is one of the Earth Mother rituals, and it's called "Goddess circle"." "Now, what you do is, you take the arm and you tie it on to the wrist of the person next to you." "And we go all around the circle until we're all joined together." " Is it alright?" " Yes." "There you go." "Zoe." " Dad, you should be in this too." " No, it's OK." "If I have to do this, so do you." "Come on!" "Get up here!" "Alright." "Give me your hand." " Do I tie it up?" " Yep." "And now we separate by burning the yarn with a candle." "And we leave these bracelets on to protect the baby until it's born." " We can't take them off until then?" " No." "Until after the umbilical cord is cut, right?" "That's beautiful."
