"LOMBARDO:" "Few minutes, Ma." "Oh, great." "Look who came up out of the sewer." " Hey, ladies." " You lost, Knowlins?" "I know the streets get very confusing With all the big numbers and stuff." " We're on our way back from fighting a fire." " Get away from our house." "We're trying to be nice." "We brought some things for after the game:" "Some Ben-Gay for those broken, old bodies little box of tissue for the tears, and a telescope so you can see us down the field as we get further and further away." "Whoa, you can't give us your telescope." "How are you gonna find your johnson When you're taking a leak?" "How do you think I learned to wrestle a hose?"

"I have four brothers." "D.K.:" "Oh, yeah?" "LINDA:" "Hey." "Joe's inside." "I wanna talk to you first." "ALEX:" "Jimmy." "Come on, let's go." " Dinner's ready." " Yeah." "I'll be up in a sec." " Why?" " I had an ultrasound." "I'm actually four months pregnant." "That makes conception right around the time of your engagement party." "Look, I love Joe." "He's a great guy." "But just in case he bails on me because this kid winds up With black hair and dimples I want you to know." "I am not gonna be stuck raising it alone." "We do a fake end-around with" " Jimmy's here."

"Look, it's really none of my business but you might wanna rethink being alone with Linda." "You're right." "It's none of your business." "Jimmy." "You're gonna need a towel if you're gonna take a shower with me." "Why do I even bother?" "All right." "You wanna know?" "Linda came to tell me that the baby might be mine." "She just wanted to give me a heads-up." " What are you gonna do?" " I'm sure as hell not gonna tell him." "You don't think she will?" "She says she loves him." "I don't think she's gonna try to mess that up." " You better tell him first." " No." "I almost lost my best friend." "I am not taking that chance again." "[ALARM SOUNDS]" "So much for a shower."

" Like a foghorn." "What are you talking about?" "Ask anyone in the squad." " The whole squad knows?" " I'm sure the whole neighborhood knows." "Oh, man." "Now I'm gonna have to tell her she was right." "Again." "I guess I should just get used to it, right?" "Did I tell you, um, I'm building a firetruck bed?" "Yeah, the front of the bed is gonna be the engine and the body of the truck, the bed." "Don't let the guys know you two are sleeping in a firetruck bed." "It's for the baby."
