Who believes that?
I know. I get it.
It's not exactly...
Normal.
Practical.
She believes what
she wants to believe,
what she needs to believe
in order to survive.
The results came back from Dr. Klein.
Your sperm passed the test.
Great.
At least my cum's
got its sh*t together.
Yeah.
So, um,
we can have sex tonight.
Um, then no sex for 48 hours,
but, uh, we can tonight if you want.
You don't have to.
I'm okay.
I'm fine, good to go.
I'm gonna go upstairs.
I'll be upstairs.
Hi.
Hey, how are you
doing this morning?
Good.
three dough nut holes
and a black coffee.
Yeah.
Earlier this evening,
family, friends and supporters
gathered for a vigil
for the missing girl.
Anybody watching this?
As far as Fresno came,
bringing flowers...
Good.
Just want to check
the Dodger highlights.
Two on and two outs.
And Johnson's first hit,
and laces it into the gap
in left center field.
Parilla scores, Revie scores,
and Hudson hasn't...
All right, so we've left
Maggie in the park, right?
And she's got her one-year-old,
and they're in the stroller,
and as they're walking
to the playground,
she sees this really
hot black couple.
African-American.
We have an African-American
president, Archie Bunker.
Okay, all right.
Well, I didn't vote for him.
So, uh, anyway, this super-hot
African-American couple
has got a ridiculously cute
African-American baby
also in a stroller,
and as the two groups
approach each other, you know,
they're oohing and ahhing
over the babies
cuter and all this stuff,
and, uh, Maggie asks
how old her son is,
and she gets down
in front of the stroller
and says, "Hi, little monkey!"
No, okay, come on.
Bear with... This really
happened to my wife.
M-My wife really did this.
Um, and so right after
Maggie says this,
she gets that hilarious look
on her face, you know,
and she immediately
turns to her son
and goes, "And here's
my little monkey." You know?
And she's so embarrassed
that she just calls everything-
man, woman, child, animal...
everything's a monkey.
Monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey.
She just keeps saying
everything's a monkey,
and the other couple, I mean,
they're just kind of
backing away from her,
you know, not sure.
What do you think?
I didn't know your wife
was such a racist.
Shut up, Allan.
Wh-What do you think?
Allie?
It's great.
I think it's kind of funny.
Is it... Is it too offensive?
I don't think so.
Were you even listening?
Yeah. I just... I don't get
why you're asking me.
Come on, Allie.
Are you serious?
I mean, you're the only black...
uh, the only African-American
writer in the room.
Way to point out
the obvious, Bill.
I just don't get why you would think
that I would know if that's bad or not.
It's a misunderstanding.
It's funny.
Anybody who thinks that's racist
is probably some
uptight black a**hole
who wishes somebody
would call him a monkey
so he could complain about it.
Finding reasons to complain
is just another form of laziness,
and honestly I don't have
the time or the tolerance for it.
You do know those lids
come off, right?
Thank you, class.
You did good.
See you tomorrow.
Mr. Aston.
Yeah, Tina?
Um, you know how you
were talking about that...
talking about
Martin Luther King last week
and how he, you know,
put himself in harm's way
so that others
could have a better life?
Sure do.
Well, my mom and I went online
and read some more about him.
Really?
Yeah, and, um,
it made me sad
what happened to him.
I was wondering,
do you think the world
would have been a better place
if he hadn't been killed?
I don't know,
but it sure became a better place
because he was alive.
Yeah. Yeah, that's true.
Well, thanks for
telling us about him.
Sure.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Do you love her?
Love? I'm starting
to think that I, uh...
I'm not so certain
what that word means.
You know, intellectually I do, but...
intimate love...
I seem to have emotionally
forgotten what that means.
She's like my mom.
They just insulate
themselves from reality.
It's like they're looking at life
through a windshield,
so thick that they could watch
a nuclear explosion.
I don't even have
a glass in mine...
and the Wind's whipping me
and making my eyes teary,
and I can barely even
keep them open.
- Great choices.
- Thanks.
I love this dress.
Did you see the adorable
little shoes that go with it?
- No.
- Oh, my gosh.
How cute are these?
Very. I'll get those, too.
Okay, great.
Are these gifts?
Um...
uh, this one is.
Okay. Your daughter's gonna
look so cute in this dress.
Uh, hey, sorry.
Excuse me.
You don't happen to know
whose dog this is, do you?
No. Sorry.
Well, It's just that
I found it in the street
It didn't have a collar or anything.
She's cute.
You should keep her.
Wait. It's a girl?
Yes.
You might want to make sure
she's fixed.
Right, make sure she's neutered.
Spayed. Boys get neutered.
Spayed, not neutered.
- No.
- No.
I'll let you know if I hear anything.
Okay, thanks.
Everyone's here.
We're good to go.
Gonzo, you're the main tank.
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Remember this guy heals,
so get ready.
Today marks the fourth day since
little Christie Dillon's disappearance.
Her father Paul held
a news conference
out in front of his house
to defend himself against accusations
that he somehow
may have been involved.
Gonz, you want it?
Uh, yeah.
Jim, use your fire magic, dude!
All right, I got it! I got it!
Dragging their feet
in this investigation.
On Capitol Hill today...
Watch your flank!
Watch your flank!
- It's on your six!
- Sh*t.
- Uh, I, uh...
- Unbelievable!
You're thinking about the princess!
She was taken from her home.
We can't just leave her there.
- Dude, you just wiped the raid!
- Jesus, Gonz!
We need to focus up!
I have to leave,
help the princess.
What? You can't!
If you do that, you're out for good!
Where are you going?
Come on, dude. He's an a**hole.
Get rid of him.
Here we go! Come on!
W-Where is he going?
How are we gonna heal
without him?
Come on! That's insane!
We're finally gonna get this guy!
I can't believe this.
We're gonna have to start
this level all over!
I lost my job at the magazine
three months ago.
I don't know. The, um...
The pressure of work
and taking care of him...
it just got to me.
Everyone thinks he's brain-dead...
except me.
And I know he's not
because of the way
he looks at me sometimes.
I know he's in there,
and that's why I...
we gotta do this race.
He always wanted to run
that f***ing thing.
He's run every other major city
marathon in the country.
This was from his last race,
the San Francisco Marathon.
He placed in the top
Somehow I don't think
we're gonna do that good this time.
We're gonna finish it.
We're gonna finish it.
Yeah. No, I understand
what you're saying.
Oh, Christ.
