Uhm, maybe, yeah it's ... it's tough.

I actually just called to ask you something.

Well, I don't know

what you could possibly ask me.

Well sort of a general question, mom.

Y'know I still get these alumni newsletters

from Graaten

Do you want me to hold on to them,

I could put them in an envelope for you or somethin'

No, it's okay.

Anyways, can I just ask you this thing?

- Alright, if you feel like you must.

I'm seeing this guy

and he's about to ...

Anyways I was with him ...

and I got really nervous and I ...

Went to the bathroom and I threw up everywhere.

- You're ill?

No, I'm not ... I'm not ill.

I just went to the bathroom and threw up everywhere

I just wondered if you had

ever done anything like that.

Honey, you probably got a microbial virus or some type

of toxic food poisoning. Did you eat from a deli?

No mom, I didn't eat from a deli.

- Sweetheart. Hang up, don't give the phone co. all of our money.

You plan a trip, you come up and see me.

I'll make you soup, and I'll put you in bed

And read you a book.

You need to get healthy.

Down. Come down and see you.

- Good.

Will you say hello to your father for me?

And tell him I need to talk to him? - Ok.

Alright, beautiful.

Bye.

I haven't been in an office

in 20 years.

This is different?

- Where are the offices?

These are them.

- Hmm ... these pens ...

... These aren't offices. Where do you

hang your topcoat, your diplomas, your artwork?

So sorry to keep you guys waiting

I'm Kenyatta ...

Kirby Weathersby.

- Nice to meet you.

Your son has been very diligent about this

and he's a rare case ...

Oh yeah he's been talkin' bout it his whole life

- Is that right?

For his 8th birthday,

I got him a bike.

Chrome mongoose. He ran to his room crying,

said he wanted a baby, a Chinese baby for that matter.

Well, let's get down to some specifics, shall we?.

Oh, can I get either of you somethin' to drink?

I'll take a bourbon.

Dad? They don't do that.

- No?

Oh, great.

Nothing for me, thanks.

So, uhm, thanks for coming in.

Obviously you'll be the baby's primary sponsor ...

Brian ... and

Mr. Weathersby...

Kirby, please.

Kirby, your wife and two boys, John and James,

will be the baby's secondary guardians, is that right?

Ok, great. Just sign here and here Ok,

and initial here.

Thanks.

- Thank you.

So Brian, looks like you'll be headed over to Hong Kong

in 2 months, you'll spend 2 weeks there.
