your heart's gonna work

twice as hard.

I love you, Lizzie.

I love you, too.

Come on, you guys.

So gross.

Ew, Mom, stop.

You're already suffocating me.

Mom.

Mommy.

I need a drink.

Mommy.

Get me out of here.

You're a b*tch, you're going to be

a terrible mom.

I just don't understand

why she has to live here.

It's just while she's pregnant, sweetie.

She's all alone.

No, no, no,

get away from me.

No, no, no, no, no.

Get away from me.

Freak show.

I don't know what's gonna

happen to me.

What?

I don't want to be alone.

Andie,

you're not.

Oh, come on, you know

what I mean.

You're gonna find

somebody one day.

I know it.

How do you know it?

God.

I just do.

I just do.

Like I always knew that I was

gonna be a mom one day.

Oh, Jesus.

I'm sorry.

I'm so gassy.

Oh, my God.

Gaseous Clay over here.

Yeah, it's flying

like a butterfly.

It's floating like a butterfly.

It's gross.

Oh, thank God you get my jokes.

Always, my love.

Hey, make sure that gate

locks behind you

'cause Joyce almost got out

the other day.

Leave the gate open.

Cool. Got it.

Uh, not funny.

God, that baby looks like

it's uncomfortable.

Hi, I'm Betty.

I'm a sonogram technician.

- Hi.

- What's up, Betty?

No cell phones in here.

Oh. Okay.

Just try to relax.

Hey, when can we

find out the sex?

Wait, wait,

I don't want to know.

Okay. You can whisper it to me.

No.

No, why? You can't know if I don't.

Why do you even care? - I don't know.

Maybe I'm just curious if there's

a penis or a vagina growing inside me.

Just forget it, okay?

We don't want to know.

We'll be able to tell

around 14 weeks,

so you two have time

to think about it.

Okay, thank you.

Cool beans.

Cool beans?

Did I just say that?

All right. This will feel

a little cold.

Feels like I'm getting kissed on.

Andie.

Sorry.

All right, see that there?

That's the embryo.

Yeah, everything was great.

Doctor said everything is fine.

We got a little picture

to show you.

Great, great, sound's good.

Hey, listen, I got a call

from Casey's sponsor.

Oh.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Um, he said Casey

can come home.

So, I thought it might be nice

to have him over for dinner.

Oh. Um.

Of course.

Ew. Why are my hands all sweaty?

I'll just throw a couple

of things on the grill.

Okay, well, I'll,

I'll make a little salad

or something.

Seriously, I feel like

Clammy Davis Junior.

Okay.

Feel.

Feel that.

Oh, Andie!

That's like totally...

Gross!

Gross!

I know.

Hey, sweetie,

yeah, I got to go. Bye.

You made it!

Got everything?

Okay, let's do this.

Jesus, that guy is totally

gonna relapse.

- Andie, don't say that.

- Mmm-hmm.

Hi, boys!

Okay, again, fast.

Faster, one, two, three.

Yes!

This is coming straight at you

this time, okay?

One, two,

three.

Yes! Awesome!

Hey, both of you

do me a favor.

Guys, let's not tell Casey

about the baby, yet.

Why?

What am I gonna say?

Sorry, you just got out of rehab

for the fourth time,

but guess what?

We're getting a baby.

Okay. Just seems a little weird

if we don't tell him.

Well, I just want to give him some

time to adjust to his new surroundings.

Then, we'll tell him.

Okay.

Andie?

Sure, dog.

It's your party.

Hey, can you make one of those

well done for me?

Oh, Jesus!

Joyce, took a sh*t

on the floor again.

It's because she's not getting enough

praise when she goes outside, honey.

She took a dump upstairs, too.

Yeah, and did you clean it up?

Joyce, I'll sh*t in your

dog house tonight.

How's the tri-tip, bro?

It's fine, bro.

Mmm, it's great, honey.

You know, I always

wanted to go to rehab.

I mean, not to get sober.

Do you like that corn, Casey?

It's, it's from the garden.

Mmm, yeah, thanks.

Hey, so, any news

on the baby front?

Um, no, not yet.

Who's up for dessert? Huh?

- Sure.

- Yeah.

I don't see why you guys

don't just adopt?

Or did Mom and Dad's whole

experience put you off that idea?

You done with that?

I mean, just cause

I'm a bad apple.

Sorbet, do we have any?

Yes.

We do. Good.

Honey, we've even got some

ice cream in the freezer.

We do. That's right. Great.

I will get that then. Good.

And how about tea? Coffee?

Anyone? I'll do that.

I'll make a pot of both.

And decaf for you.

No, you can have caffeine.

I'm sorry.

All right.

And I'll be right back.

Okay.

So, what are you saying?

He wants to move in here?

No, no, no, no, no.

It's just his doctor doesn't think

he should be alone right now.

Doesn't he have any friends

that he could stay with?

All of his friends

are drug-addicts.

Just.

I don't think this is a good idea.

Well, then this isn't fair.

Andie gets to stay here.

I'm sorry.

Look, I just want to be able

to keep an eye on him.

Okay?

Of course.

Of course, he can stay.

Thank you.

Can you take this thing off?

Ooh, of course.

Please. Peter.

Okay. I'm gonna go

make up the couch.

Thank you.

Joyce.

Babe?

That's an expensive

cut of meat.

It's not for Joyce.

Here.

It's good, expensive meat.

Casey needs to grow up.

Mmm. So you got adopted,

you know? Get over it.

Come on, he's just sensitive.

Sensitive?

My tits are sensitive.

Is what he said true?

Is Peter afraid of

getting a bad apple?

What? No!

No. I'm serious.

Maybe he's afraid I'm

carrying a demon-child.

Well, I'm certainly

starting to be. Mmm.

Hey, sweetie.

Hey.

Where are you guys going?

We're going to play b-ball.

Honey, the gates.

Got it. I'll fix it tomorrow,

I promise.

Come on, Casey, get the ball.

I don't know if we're gonna

make the game, bro.

Please stop calling me

"bro", please.

You sound like a jackass.

You know, maybe we could just go

to a meeting instead, huh?

Here we go.

What?

Just leave me alone, Peter.

All right? Stop it.

Look, I'm sorry, Casey,

but I'm not gonna do that.

Cause I made a promise to Mom and Dad...

You promised Mom and Dad.

Whoa, whoa, can you not?

Jesus Christ!

I don't know what to do.

No, I get it, okay.

I, I put everyone through hell.

I didn't say that.

All the stress I caused

gave Dad a stroke

and Mom cancer

and I'm a f***ing a**hole.

I didn't say that!

All right? Might as well.

Might as well.

Jesus, just forget it.

We'll go to the movies.

All right.

Hey, you want ice cream, bro?

Seriously, I'm gonna

kick the sh*t out of you.

Mommy knows you're frustrated.

I know, sweetheart.

You must use your words.

Use your words, sweetheart.

God! "Use your words"?

That is so f***ing patronizing.

Don't you ever say that

to this kid, Lizzie.

Five bedrooms, if you count

the guest-house.

Banister you're holding onto,

recently reinforced.

Brand new,

as a matter of fact.

Now, my favorite spot

in the entire house.

You'll immediately see why.

Because, the view,

which is so spectacular,

takes in most of...

Yeah, no, it's...

It's too white.

Too white, right.

Well, you could paint it.

Yeah, you know what?

I actually can't even be here anymore.

It's burning out my retina.
