Maybe it 'd be a good

idea if she didn't go.

What?

But she's the godmother.

- Yeah.

- Judith...

maybe she shouldn't be there,

you know? Maybe it 's too much.

Sometimes it 's better when things

are out of sight, out of mind.

I'm sure that the last thing

on Angie's mind...

I mean, the last f***ing thing she

wants to do is go to a christening.

Oh, God! I'm...

All I'm saying, Judith... Judith.

All I'm saying is maybe April's

right, maybe she shouldn't be there.

Did you pick a caterer yet?

- Mr. Babbington.

- Oh, my. Snooty.

I know.

But I love his crepes.

I called a travel agent today.

Why?

I thought it might be a good idea,

that maybe if we went somewhere...

Where do you want to go?

I was thinking about Aruba.

You always wanted to go to Aruba.

To the beach?

It might be nice. It 's off-season.

Rate's good.

I don't think so.

I just, you know, thought that

when we got back we'd feel better.

Well, why don't you go to Aruba,

Russ? Maybe you'll feel better.

That 's mine.

- That 'll be 15 dollars, ma'am.

- Do you take cards?

This is express.

We take cash only.

Okay, I've got...

Here's 2O.

- Do you want paper or plastic?

- Sorry?

- Do you want paper or plastic?

- Excuse me?

What kind of bag do you want?

I'll just take both.

Mrs. Lowry?

Yeah?

Pictures are ready.

- What pictures?

- The ones your husband dropped off.

...first time in the supermarket.

We got pictures!

Hi. Dickerson.

- Judith?

- Hi.

- How are you?

- I'm fine.

I've been thinking

about you so much.

I can't believe how

gorgeous you are. Hello.

Sorry I haven't called. I thought...

I don't know what, it 's just...

My God, I can't believe

how cute he is.

You know what?

We have to go to my mother's

now, and... we're late.

So maybe we...

I'll call you, okay?

It was really nice to see you!

I'll call you.

- Bye.

- All right. Say hi to your mom.

You're home.

- Mom.

- Are you all right?

Yeah. Just got in.

How's the baby?

- Angie?

- Yeah?

- How's the baby?

- Oh, he's beautiful.

Good. Listen, everything

has exploded here and I can't...

I just can't get away right now.

It's bedlam here, and I feel

terrible, but I swear...

that if I leave this place

everythingwill fall apart.

All right. Well,

I'll send you a picture.

Ang?

Angie.

Take that.

That 's nice, huh?

That 's nice.

What are you doing here?!

I just... I just wanted

to come and visit you.

What are you talking about? Don't

know how to knock? You don't ring?

I didn't want to wake Ethan.

You scared the sh*t outta me!

What did you think I was doing?

I don't know what you were doing.

What were you doing?

I just wanted to see if you're okay.

I was wondering if you

needed some help.

No, I don't want any help!

I just...

I thought you might need me

to baby-sit or something.

I don't want you to

baby-sit. That 's not...

- I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry too. You don't know...

how much you frightened me,

all right? I think you should go.

- Okay?

- I didn't mean to frighten.

You did frighten me!

You really frightened me!

I think you should go, all right?

Oh my God. Please don't.

What is it?

Please, you're scaring me,

Angie! Just go.

Angie, please go! Please go!

Lowry.

It 's a transfer, you say?

- I just talked to you. I called.

- I remember. The transfer.

- The baby, right?

- Yes.

I told you I remember.

- Look, is this it?

- Yes, this is it.

I had it out already.

Sorry.

His heart stopped.

I understand that.

What I wanted to know is why.

Why. That 's the question.

That 's always the question.

The truth is...

we don't know. We don't.

Mrs. Lowry, there are still many

unanswered questions in medicine.

This Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

is one of the most painful.

Why?

Because we don't know.

And unfortunately, nothing I can say

would make it any easier for you.

Nothing at all. I'm sorry.

I'd like to see him.

It 's a very invasive procedure.

I'm not sure you'd feel comfortable.

I want to see him.

Okay.

You ready?

That 's not my baby.

- Sometimes it 's hard to tell.

- I know my own son.

- After the procedure, they...

- No. It 's not my baby.

I'm sorry.

Okay. Here.

That 's not my baby.

It is.

It 's not my baby.

No, it 's okay, watch your show.

I don't think we'll be late.

I just feel better knowing you're here.

I've got a number for you

in case you need to call Judith.

Otherwise, Russ will give you

a lift home. Won't you, honey?

What the f*** is she doing? She'll

watch TV and I'll write her a check?

It makes me feel better knowing

someone's home. Is that a problem?

I don't get it.

You may be seated.

I now present Ethan

Dickerson for baptism.

Do you renounce the spiritual

forces of wickedness...

reject the evil power of this

world and repent of your sin?

If so, say "I do".

- I do.

- I do.

Do you accept the freedom

and power that God gives you...

to resist evil, injustice

and oppression...

in whatever form they present

themselves? If so, say "I do".

- I do.

- I do.

And will you nurture Ethan

in Christ 's Holy Church?

- Lf so, say "I will".

- He's hungry.

I now invite the godparents

to come forward.

Pour out Your Holy Spirit

to bless this gift of water...

and he who receives it,

to wash away his sin...

and close him in righteousness

troughout his life...

that dying and being raised with

Christ he shares His final victory.

In the name of the Father...

and of the Son...

and of the Holy Spirit.

- How's it going?

- How's it going?

- Good.

- What 's going on?

Good, good. I'm okay.

- You got a minute?

- Yeah, you wanna come in?

I just got the new Gavi.

It 's iced.

- How about... wanna go for a walk?

- A walk? You wanna go for a walk?

- Yeah.

- Sure. Why not?

We've been friends

for a long time, right?

- What is it, Bill?

- Right? Like five years, I think.

- Five years. Yeah.

- Five years, yeah.

I feel like you and Angie

are part of the furniture.

But... Judy is a wreck

about the whole thing.

I'm sorry to hear that.

You know my heart goes out to you.

What is she a wreck over?

You're not gonna make this harder?

I mean, the situation is like...

- Come on, you were at the church!

- You did that, Bill.

You did that.

Look, man,

we don't know what to do.

We don't. I feel awful.

I feel...

I mean, it 's hard

on Judy with the baby.

Not sleeping, nothing.

She's totally freaking out...

she is, about Angie and

the accident. It 's very...

- Very what?

- It 's very...

difficult, man.

It 's like... it 's awkward.

I'm sorry.

I just...

I just feel...

like we shouldn't, you know,

hang around together, you know?

- You breaking up with me, Bill?

- Or the girls either.

I'm just trying to be a good father.

I'm trying to be a good husband.

Is that it?

I don't know.

Things are different now.

They have to be.

- It 's not like they used to be.

- No, it 's not. You're right, Bill.

But you can call me anytime.

You should call me anytime. Anytime.
