Divination
Hey honey,
you almost ready?
They're gonna be
here any minute.
Yeah, i'm ready
That was the first time
and the last, actually,
That i ever offered to
take jason and a date
In my dad's truck.
Speaking of dads, happy
father's day tonight.
Thank you.
Oh, yeah, congratulations.
What is this like
your guys' 12th child?
This would be
our fourth, jason.
Speaking of which,
you guys trying?
Look it, why is it
when a couple has a child,
You immediately want
everyone else to join in,
Like, your misery club?
No, no, no, no.
Once you have your first kid,
You're gonna ask yourself
why you waited so long.
You are.
They're a gift.
Guess who's coming
back into town.
Who?
De.
- Really?
Oh, my god, i haven't seen
her since high school.
When's she coming back?
Three days.
Wow, it will be
so good to see her.
I think it
will be magical.
Yeah, i guess
you could say that.
So how is work
treating you?
I've been trying to
get to work from home,
But i'm afraid my boss
isn't gonna let me.
I've got to prove to
him that i can work
Without direct supervision.
Ah.
That way i can have
more creative freedom
With my sketch es.
I don't think you have
anything to be nervous about.
You're usually the most
talented artist i know.
Th ese new?
Yeah, some of them.
Jason, these are amazing.
What's this one for?
My boss is looking
for new ideas for comics.
It's kind of based on a story
that my dad used to tell me.
Anyways, it's a long story
So how is work going for you?
The layoff is treating
us pretty rough
But we're hanging in there.
If things get tight, don't
hesitate to ask for help.
Good to know.
I mean, just not from me.
Thank you.
It's so good to see you.
It's good seeing you too.
I'll see you later.
- Okay drive safe.
I'll see you later.
- Okay drive safe.
Will do. Bye.
So, i was thinking
that maybe we could
Oh, boy you've got
the mom bug now.
Uh-Huh.
Uh-Huh?
- Yeah.
Okay, how early?
Well, if you
worked from home,
Then we could both
work after it's born,
And we could
start right away
So i'd be the
stay at home dad.
Yeah.
I'd come home from work and
And you'd have made dinner,
Wearing an apron
holding a baby
And some thigh highs?
Oh, no. Not holding
my kid. No.
Okay, i'll
talk to my boss.
I'll see what i can do.
Yeah.
Is this really
what you want?
Yeah, it is.
- Why did you ask him out?
You knew he was going to say
no because you're so ugly
Nobody's ever gonna
want to be with you.
a serious relationship,
And then you're gonna die...
alone.
What do you
want, wormwood?
Fear.
I want to commend you on
doing such an outstanding job
With the male's mind.
Oh, i know who
we're talking about.
I've had a good
time with him.
And i am promoting you
over the entire house.
Now, i want you to assemble
a small team to gather
Information, then you'll
receive further instructions.
Why is any kind of
recon necessary--
Just do it.
Look, wormwood, just
let me in the house.
I can penetrate much--
Shut up!
You do not question me!
If it weren't for me, you
The surface, and i can send
you back there instantly
Fear, you are not
indispensable.
Now, assemble your team.
So what is the verdict?
So what is the verdict?
Is this all you ever
want to talk about?
Yeah.
Yeah.
There is more to
life than children.
Not after you have them.
What is it that scares you?
of a human concept
Is pretty creepy
Yes, it is.
Yes, it is very gross.
Stop stalling, tell me.
Tell me what is it
that scares you?
I guess it's the
permanence of it.
I mean, once that thing pops
out, there's no going back.
Do you consider your
marriage permanent?
Absolutely
Okay, so what is it about
that life commitment that
You have no qualms about?
Because i want
jessica to be happy
So now all you need
to do is ask yourself,
Will jessica be more
fulfilled as a mom?
That's checkmate, by the way
I don't know if
you noticed that.
Can i help you?
Yes, i need in to see mr.
Phillips.
Okay, do you
have an appointment?
No, but this is urgent.
I'm sorry, mr. Phillips
doesn't take walk-Ins.
You'll have to make
an appointment.
But this is
very important.
Yes, this lady won't
let me see mr. Phillips.
Mr. Phillips doesn't take
walk-Ins, sir. I'm sorry
This is ridiculous.
Will you please
shut that thing up!
Sir, you need
to calm down.
How can you tolerate this
in a place of business?
This is a place of
business, our business,
And we love babies
here, even crying ones.
What we don't tolerate is
people belittling
Our front desk staff.
Now why don't you get out of
here before i call security
You guys are fine.
He's so beautiful.
Thanks.
What's his name?
Porter.
Porter. Hi, porter.
May i hold him?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Hi, porter.
Hello, big boy
What are you waiting for?
I'm just not
sure about this.
This was your idea.
You told jessica
you'd call your boss.
What if i stick
my neck out there
And it doesn't work.
Manning up is never easy
You just have to do it.
Look at me. Nothing comes
to the man who waits.
Make the call.
What have we here?
Just a little picnic.
You said you skipped lunch.
Yeah, i'm starving.
What are we having?
My masterpiece. Pb&j.
'Yum!
I thought i'd try the
whole stay at home thing
And see if i'm cut out for it.
So far you're
doing fantastic.
Thank you.
Are you just trying
to butter me up
So you can get lucky later?
I'm not trying
to get lucky;
I'm trying to get you.
Is that my wifely duty?
Is that what i'm
supposed to do?
Uh-Huh.
That and cooking and
working, paying the bills,
Doing the dishes.
I think you can do the
dishes/cooking thing.
Do you really want
to eat pb&j every night?
No.
Guy, i hate
watching people.
Did you find what you were
looking for at her office?
Nope. Nothing
worth taking--
Of course you didn't!
Come on, man, you send in
anxiety to do what
I told you to do?
If you want something done,
you've got to do it yourself
You can't send in anxiety
he stands out.
He sucks at recognizance.
Stiff.
I'm sorry, what?
I think you should
take your own advice.
You should shut up.
Pay attention.
Newlyweds.
Tell me about it.
It makes me sick.
- Then why are we here'?
We're here because
we're ordered to be here.
Oh, yeah?
Well, who are you taking
orders from, wormwood?
Man, i report
directly to fear.
Wormwood's a middleman.
Pure corporate b.S.
He's all talk and no do.
He used to be just like you
and me, working the surface.
They used to call
him confusion.
I wonder what he
did to get ahead.
Man, there's only
way to get ahead.
Oh, i talked
to my work today
Yeah?
You're looking at mr. Mom.
" yay!
Does that mean you're
ready to start trying?
Right away
Okay race you!
Hey, tell lucion
