Ha, that sounds like a
polite way of saying bumpkin.
Gosh!
I've insulted you
already, haven't I?
No, no. It's fine.
Lam a bit of a bumpkin,
and I'm hardy too.
It's okay, it's okay.
But you know what, believe it or
not, I don't drive either.
- Really?
- Mmm-mmm.
God, how do you
manage that out here?
You're in the middle
of nowhere.
Wow!
What's so funny?
Do you think that when
we get older and...
We've, like, drifted
apart 'cause...
Let's face it, the odds
are that we will, right?
Will you remember me as the most
f***ed up girl you ever knew?
Hmm.
I would.
And in the East Village
the police set up a perimeter
in anticipation of a clash over
the community board's new rule.
Angry locals blame
gentrification...
Just leave us off here.
Excuse me?
What is all this?
F***ing mayor wants
a curfew in the park
to get rid of the homeless.
But we know he wants
to get rid of us too.
Come on, let's get out of here.
I really don't know how to thank
you for everything you've done.
I feel like I should offer
you money or something.
Don't be silly, I've enjoyed
having Eliza here.
I think it was good for me.
In what way?
I don't know, really. I...
I suspect it had
something to do with
the idea of Jude's
birth mother.
She was apparently
the exact same age.
- Was she?
- Mmm-hmm.
What happened to her?
I don't know.
I do think that even
with all this mess
we've somehow managed
to raise spirited,
smart kids, you know?
Right, in spite of ourselves.
Yes, and especially
- despite Lester.
- Yeah.
Hey, Mr. Clean.
Come on in, there.
- Yeah.
- Hi.
Okay, I, uh, I
organized this little soiree.
Have a seat, uh...
These two showed up
at my doorstep.
And it seemed like
there was some serious air
that needed to be cleared.
Yeah, I know.
You haven't called us
for two weeks.
You really think
that's acceptable?
Only because I needed to wait.
For what, Johnny?
For the baby to be born?
No. To be 100% sure,
but now I am.
So I'm really glad
you're both here.
Sure about what?
What is this?
That's Ravi Milan
and his wife, Arpeeta.
Ravi's a lawyer.
Why do we need a lawyer?
Ravi's also Teddy's dad.
I knew, I knew from my mom
he was in New York somewhere
but I, I never
attempted to find him.
I, I always figured that Teddy
would do that someday, but...
You know, lately,
it occurred to me
that Teddy's dad might be able
to help us out with money.
You know, for the baby.
And, and after having
finally met him,
I think he can help us out
with so much more.
Like What?
Well...
Like with a home.
What're you saying?
The Milans, they have
no children.
When I spoke to Ravi
he was crushed by what
happened to Teddy.
He felt like he completely
missed out on the chance
to ever get to know him
because of my mom's insanity.
What're you saying?
Adoption is something the
Milans have discussed
for some time now.
Oh, my God.
This is what you've wanted
the whole time, isn't it?
- No, no.
- Isn't it?
Well, why didn't you
just f***in' say so
from the beginning?
Why did you have to put me
through all this?
Eliza, Eliza, what I wanted
was for Teddy's child
to be with family.
Teddy's child?
Teddy's child.
It's Teddy's child?
At the time I thought that
that could only mean me.
I can't believe this.
I can't f***in' believe this.
But Ravi has so much more
It's everything
we wanna give Annabelle.
But better.
I can't believe this.
Oh!
Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa! Hey, Jude...
You're a fraud! He just wants to
be with his f***in' boyfriend.
He wants to run to California,
just toss Eliza and
the baby aside.
That's not how it is.
Tell the truth!
Jude, hey, hey.
F***in' liar!
Eliza!
Excuse me, excuse me.
I don't really know
what's going on.
Jude is right.
I've f***ed everything up.
All I wanted was to finally
do right by Teddy.
We say f*** you!
We say f*** you!
Eliza!
We say f*** you!
We say f*** you!
Eliza!
Eliza!
I have the right to be here!
Eliza!
Eliza!
Get back here!
Hey, hey!
Eliza!
A**hole!
Hey, Eliza! Are you okay?
All right, watch out, all right?
She's pregnant!
Nobody gets to lay a claim
on this baby but me, Jude.
- I know.
- Nobody!
I wanted to have a family.
Just a family, a good family
who wants a baby,
bring Teddy back,
not some long-lost father
who's trying to make up
for his shitty past, okay?
I know.
I just want a family,
that's all I want!
Whatever you want,
that's what we'll do.
Okay?
Now let's just get
the f*** out of here.
Is the baby okay?
Oh, hey, hey, hey,
the patient speaks.
Baby's right as rain,
sweetheart.
How are you?
Oh, I kept my eyes shut
tight the whole time.
I didn't want to see anything.
Then I asked for them to
give me something to sleep.
You know, you've been
asleep for seven years.
This is your fourth child.
Stop it, Lester.
It's okay, Harriet.
He means well.
Sweetheart,
you'd like to hold the baby.
They say it's too easy
to fall in love.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
But I want Jude to.
Now?
Yeah.
Follow me, Jude.
Oh, my girl.
My brave, brave girl.
You know, I was
thinking that, uh...
You know, if you wanna be
- Really?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got a lead on
an apartment that...
Looks like it could be a lot
bigger, you know, two rooms.
- Yeah, that'd be awesome.
- Hmm.
If a guy's gonna get
his sh*t together,
you know, he needs
a little space.
And I'm speaking
for both of us.
Here it is.
I always thought
he'd look like Teddy.
He doesn't look
like Eliza either.
He just looks like himself.
You think I'll ever
see him after this?
In 10 years, he's going to be
a completely different person.
And so are you, champ.
Go in there. Go say hi.
There you go.
Make sure to support his head.
It's okay.
If Teddy hadn't
left us for good,
if he was still somewhere
up there, 10 years later
hovering above the city in the
troposphere of the earth,
he'd see a little part
transformed.
He'd find Eliza in Brooklyn,
starting her own family.
And his best friend,
believe it or not,
about to become
a father himself.
He'd know that he had
not been forgotten
even if the outlines
of his face
grow fuzzier with
each passing year.
Maybe he'd also see
how fragile each
and every life is.
And that they all just fall
to earth and scatter
hoping to settle
somewhere and stick
like big, dry snowflakes
