Listen, I got somebody else
on the other line, all right?
Just hold on, hold on
one second, yeah.
That's good.
Should we tell your mom?
She'll just make
me get an abortion.
What makes you say that?
Because she said to me,
Eliza, darling,
if you ever get pregnant,
you're getting an abortion.
You know, it's like Teddy
died that night
Yeah, that's kind of
how I feel.
Like it happened for a reason.
But sometimes I don't
know how I feel.
"For the soul, there's
neither birth nor death
at any given time."
What is that,
the Old Testament?
The Bhagavad Gita.
Maybe we should tell my dad.
He'll just tell my mom, Jude.
We shouldn't tell anybody.
That way we can control it.
Well, I obviously can't
keep it a secret forever.
Yeah, but after a
certain point,
they can't take it
away from you.
And where is the baby
going to live?
I mean, are you planning
on staying in school?
You cross one bridge at a time.
At the very least,
you should see a doctor.
I'm sure he'll ask to
see an adult.
Well, Johnny is an adult.
From here on out,
I'm going to be anybody
Eliza needs me to be.
We're in this together now,
we're a little family.
Right, Jude?
Jude!
- Jude!
- Sh*t!
Okay, okay, okay.
Jude, we need to discuss
I thought we had kind
of a working arrangement.
You know?
Huh?
So you're just going
to play father now
and lay a whole
new set of rules on me?
No, no.
I am going to revisit all this
after I have digested
my vegan breakfast, eh?
You know what I'd
like to know is
what my girlfriend's
daughter and my son,
and some weird Hare Krishna
dude are all doing together.
We're just friends, okay?
No, I'm not judging.
I mean, I met your mom
at an orgy.
So tell me, what did you think
of the show, last night?
That was last night? Feels
like 100 years ago.
I thought you guys
were really good.
It's a very weird scene though.
In what way?
Well, I mean...
First of all, I might as
well have been invisible
to most of the guys there.
Do I look that disgustingly
pregnant already?
No. Don't take that personally,
Straight Edge guys
are different.
They're not just about
meeting girls.
Well, what about you?
What about me?
Well, are you gonna...
Are you gonna wait till
you're married, or what?
I mean, that's what the whole
thing's about, right?
Not that there is anything
wrong with it, I'm obviously
a walking advertisement
for abstinence.
all about is community.
free from all the bullshit
that was spoon-fed to
us by a generation
brains than purify them.
But I was,
I was asking specifically
about you.
Oh, well, you know,
I'm committed to
the Straight Edge life
but I'm also just as
red-blooded as the next guy.
Well, that's a very
vague answer.
It's none of my business.
I don't even know
why I'm asking.
Hey, listen...
I happen to think
you look really great.
Thank you.
And I meant what I said before,
you need me to be.
I know you did.
Hey, I thought I'd never
get away from him.
You didn't tell him
anything, did you?
Of course not. I promised
Eliza I wouldn't.
So when Eliza's mom finally
finds out about our secret,
her I'm the father.
Why you?
Well, I'm Teddy's
brother, so it's blood.
And I'm also not a minor,
which you know,
could help us out in a lot
of legal situations.
And, and then what?
And then we tell her, Eliza
and I are a committed couple.
Why would we do that?
Except for the fact that you
barely know each other.
each other, right, Eliza?
We did have a nice brunch.
Yeah.
Anyway, look, nothing
should get in the way
of what is in the best
interest for Teddy's child.
You know.
This is about love.
Plus, there's nothing
not to like about me.
I got to go.
- I'll call you.
- All right.
Spare change?
She's something, isn't
she, Uncle Jude?
Gross!
Mademoiselle Eliza?
Okay, we're here.
I agreed, we're on the train.
You want to tell me
what's going on?
Eliza's bleeding.
Bleeding? What kind
of bleeding?
You know, like a,
like a woman bleeding.
Okay. So what makes you think
I'm more qualified to deal
with that situation
than her mom?
She's pregnant.
Are you shitting me?
Jude, what are you
thinking about?
You know I got a buttload
of condoms in my pad.
It's not mine, Dad.
And even if it was, you're
in no position to preach.
Okay, okay, well who...
Who's done the deed then?
Johnny.
Johnny?
Why is Johnny not on the
train going to meet her?
He doesn't have a phone.
Perfect.
You can't tell Diane yet, Dad.
You have to promise.
In downtown
Manhattan's Alphabet City,
tensions continued
to rise today,
when a stand-off occurred
between squatters,
their supporters and the police
over a building deemed unsafe.
If she loses the baby, okay...
I mean, you hate to say this,
but it's probably for the best.
You know, she's not
ready to be a mom.
It's nature's way of
taking care of things.
How does it happen?
I mean, is it just
like blood or...
I do not know.
I'll tell you this though.
It's a relief to me that
you're not the dad, okay?
You don't want to get
tied up in that.
You know, the lady's
grieving, she's distraught,
she feels guilty,
you feel guilty.
Babies.
You know you were born here?
It's true.
your mom and I we were
up in the nursery in
these rocking chairs,
they gave us scrubs
with these little
shower caps for our heads
and for our feet,
like they thought we were
going to give you the plague.
We just waited and waited
and waited
for you.
Seemed like we'd wait forever.
Rocking back and forth,
you know,
your mom was so uptight.
She was so worried your
birth mother changed her mind.
She had this king size
bag of M&M's right,
and she just
ate the whole thing
while she was waiting for you.
And then they, uh...
They let us hold you.
And you were so little,
like a rabbit or something,
you know, with this
shock of black hair.
And you looked at me
and I was like, Holy sh*t!
This kid is mine,
and the world's a f***ing
mess and I just wanna...
I want to protect him
from everything, you know.
I mean, I have to protect
him from everything.
Oh, I walked out of here
a different person.
Yeah, well... So I thought.
And then Prudence
miraculously shows up.
Right, first they tell you,
it's impossible.
Next thing, you're swimming
in babies, two in one year.
You know women,
they make their
decisions and men,
we just do our best
not to be men.
a looking over.
Les.
Oh, Jesus...
Hey, sweetheart.
Bacterial vaginosis.
Sounds exotic.
It's just an infection, Les.
Yeah, still, it sounds
scary, you know?
He saw her on the monitor,
you know?
She was jumping around
