AND WE LOOKED INTO

GETTING ONE, TOO, RIGHT, PHIL?

[EVE] ALLAN, YOU SHOULD

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. I WOULD

LOVE TO COME WITH YOU, BABE.

YEAH, WE SHOULD. I DON' HAVE THE TIME NOW, BUT...

YOU GOT A LITTLE TIME.

- STAY STRONG, BROTHER.

- OH, PHIL, REALLY.

- WHAT?

- IT'S A CAR, PHIL.

WHAT IS IT WITH YOU

AND THIS CHILDISH FEAR

OF LOSING YOUR MANHOOD?

CHILDISH? WHY?

BECAUSE I DON'T WAN MY BOY TO END UP

- LIKE CAPTAIN MINIVAN OVER HERE?

- OKAY, OKAY.

THAT WAS TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR,

PHIL.

[ALL TALKING OVER EACH OTHER]

- HE DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING BY THAT.

- NO.

I KNOW YOU THINK

JASON IS LESS OF A MAN

BECAUSE HE'S A DECEN HUSBAND AND FATHER.

I KNOW THAT.

HE'S TOLD ME YOU BULLY HIM.

- WHAT? NO, NO, NO, NO, I DIDN'T...

- BULLY HIM?

- YES, YOU DID.

- EVE, I'M MERELY BRINGING TO LIGH THE SHORT-ASS LEASH

YOU KEEP HIM ON.

MY MAN IS SO MISERABLE,

HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW IT.

JASON IS NOT MISERABLE.

YOU'RE NOT MISERABLE.

NO, HE'S NOT. JASON, YOU ARE

A GREAT FATHER AND KNOW THAT.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS SUMMER

AND HE IS NOT AT ALL CONFUSED

ABOUT HIS MANHOOD LIKE YOU.

HE IS, IN FACT, SO CONFIDENT,

THAT HE GOT A VASECTOMY, AND HE'S

MORE OF A MAN THAN YOU'LL EVER BE.

WOW.

- REALLY?

- YOU DID WHAT NOW?

YOU GOT A SECRET VASECTOMY?

AND WE'RE MORE HAPPY FOR IT.

I'M GONNA CHECK ON

THE KIDS RIGHT NOW.

NO, NO, DON'T BE ASHAMED.

THAT'S THE CRUELEST SHI I'VE EVER HEARD.

WHY? BECAUSE HE MANNED UP,

AND DID SOMETHING AND

HELPED WHERE HE COULD, PHIL?

I ACTUALLY THINK

IT'S A ROMANTIC GESTURE.

I MEAN, YOU WOULD

DO THAT FOR US, RIGHT, BABE?

WE-WE-WE WERE TALKING...

UH... DISCUSSING THE... WHAT?

PHIL, YOU WOULD DO I FOR DAISY, RIGHT?

IF SHE ASKED,

IF IT WERE IMPORTANT?

- HELL NO!

- OH, COME ON.

- WOW.

- THAT'S CUTTING ME DOWN,

AND NOT IN A MILLION YEARS.

AFTER ALL I WENT THROUGH

FOR YOU?

- REALLY?

- OH, NO, DON'T START THIS.

- WOW.

- NO, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE PROBLEM IS

IS THAT NONE OF YOU HAVE THE SLIGHTES CLUE WHAT WOMEN GO THROUGH.

YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE RIGHT.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ONE OF YOU

BLEED OUT OF YOUR D*CKS

FOR A WEEK A MONTH, AND THEN

SEE IF YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT PMS.

- HONEY, COME ON.

- SO, WAIT,

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO CRY

YOURSELF TO SLEEP AT NIGH BECAUSE YOUR INFANT CHILD

HAS CHEWED YOUR NIPPLES RAW.

AND THEY GET ENGORGED,

AND INFECTED.

IT'S TERRIBLE.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

WE HAVEN'T EVEN MENTIONED

CHILD BIRTH YET.

OKAY, PHIL, JUST TAKE IT BACK

OF THROWING UP:

TWICE A DAY FOR LITTLE SAMMY.

36 HOURS OF LABOR.

WHAT A FOURTH-DEGREE

VAGINAL TEAR MEANS?

ALL THE WAY UP TO MY A**HOLE.

MY A**HOLE!

MANY STITCHES THEY PUT DOWN THERE?

DO YOU KNOW HOW TERRIFIED

I WAS TO TAKE A SH*T?
