I have.

Have you?

Well, then, that's

that's probably it then, isn't it?

- Yes.

No, wait. Wait. If I...

I let myself in.

Where's Larry?

- He's out.

- Found it. There we go.

It's in. Contact lens.

- Just flipped out, right over the sofa.

- Who's that?

Dr. Diana Reddin. Nice to meet you.

Going now. Bye. Good, you were right.

- Yes?

- I have my own bedroom.

I'd love to see it sometime.

I can't stay. I have to go.

Got it.

Do you ever think about

calling before you come over?

I'm sorry if I interrupted.

What is that great smell?

I'm, cooking.

You're cooking?

What?

Pasta.

You want some more rocky road?

She seems like a very nice person.

Definitively a little nervous.

You think it's serious?

I'm in a particularly vulnerable

stage in my life right now

so I'm taking it slowly.

That's very smart.

Can I have more of those ribs?

How about you and the father?

- Haven't heard from him since it happened.

- Bastard.

I never expected to hear from him.

I'm happy. I love being pregnant.

It's just that I'm not

21 anymore. I'm single.

- It's a little bit scary.

- Tell me about it.

I love those pickels.

There's a couple of chicken wings left.

What?

Anybody ever tell you that

you eat like a pregnant woman?

I just like mixing cuisines.

Baby pushed.

What's wrong with you?

Sympathy pains.

I hardly know you.

You must be a very sympathetic guy.

Lately, yes.

- I think she really likes me.

- Yeah?

What makes you say that?

She said she likes a

little upholstery on a guy.

And she kissed me.

You're kissing?

Wait a minute.

You're in no condition

to start a relationship.

- Don't be so negative.

- What do you mean, negative?

Wait a minute. I'm not negative.

What do you think?

Couldn't find one with a parrot on it?

It's nice.

I'm starting to believe in fate.

My baby.

Finding a compatible woman.

I think it's all part of a design.

- Maybe I should see a psychic.

- Psychiatrist.

We should both see him.

I hate my body.

Looking prosperous there.

- The pants are loose in the waist.

- I could take them in.

Better leave room to grow.

- That's a good idea.

- That's the spirit!

- I'll cut them for you.

- Okay.

- What?

- Junior kicked again.

- Junior?

- Yeah.

Why Junior?

The book says to talk to the baby.

I didn't know if it'll be a boy

or a girl. so I called it Junior.

Why?

Nothing. I was...

It's something. You have that look.

No, the guy I got the egg

from, he called it Junior.

He was making a joke, you

know, just a funny coincidence.

Who is that guy? You said a colleague

of yours had an anonymous harvest.

- Yes, a colleague of mine.

- Do I know him?

No, you don't know him.

- Do we know about the donor egg?

- No, it's anonymous.

Well, well, how very domestic.

All that's missing is the

pitter-patter of little feet.

Forgotten, but not gone.

What the hell do you want?

I couldn't help overhearing

you. Something about a donor egg?

I don't know what you mean.

Come on, guys, it's me,

Noah. I'm nobody's fool.

I checked with the primate lab.

They told me the chimps haven't been

tested on since the project was cancelled.

But you're still producing Expectane.

Well, the truth is that

we had surplus of the steroid base.

- Rather than let it go to waste...

- Surplus.

...we decided to...

- We decided to...

...finish the production run...

- That's it.

...stockpile the

Expectane for when the FDA

does approve clinical trials.

We were unaware of the University

policy, so that's why the little fib.

If there are any budget overruns,

we're more than happy to cover the...

Excuse me.

- What's that all about?

- I don't know.

- Are you writing a book?

- You know what I think?

I think you have an Expectane-assisted

pregnancy underway here in this house.

- Sorry, you're wrong.

- That hardly ever happens.

I'm on your side.

If you guys are colouring

outside the lines, I can help.

I'm speaking English.

There's nothing going on!

How can I help you if you

leave me outside the loop?

Thanks for stopping by.

Listen, could I use your

bathroom before I go?

It's down the hall. Make

a right. Pick up the seat.

- Is he gone?

- No, he's in the can.

Where are you?

Come out, little mother.

- You think he believed us?

- I don't know.

This guy's dangerous.

Stay away from him.

I will. Here.

- I'm taking Diana out to dinner.

- Great.

- Who is that?

- Aerosmith.

You don't like their music?

Seven years, I tried everything.

I couldn't get Angela pregnant.

One of these clowns

one night, one shot

mission accomplished.

Just ain't fair.

Which one?

I don't know.

Doesn't matter.

You still love her.

No, it's good it's over.

It's just this baby thing hat

got me a little, you know...

I'm having some feelings,

you know. That's all.

- I'm sorry.

- Yeah. Thanks.

- You look good.

- Thank you.

Hi, Angela.

- Is he home?

- Yes.

- Is he alone?

- Very.

- He will be very happy to see you.

- Yeah, I'll bet.

I'm really very sorry.

I'm just a bit confused

about this Strudelhund thing.

Excuse me. I believe this is yours

It is, thank you.

Sorry. Thanks very much.

Got it. Safe and sound.

Yes, the Strudelhund thing.

No one's heard of it

and then I looked up "Gelandensprung"

in my atlas and it wasn't there.

You're right.

There's no Gelandensprung.

There's no Strudelhunds.

I'm sorry I had to deceive you.

What's going on?

I want to know everything about me.

Likewise.

Can you keep an open mind?

I mean, really wide open?

I think so, yes.

I have a most extraordinary condition.

Thank you.

You familiar with the

works of Edward Jenner?

The vaccination chap who

experimented on himself?

Probably you would never

experiment on yourself...

- No, I have actually. I mean

nothing so extraordinary

as Jenner, obviously but

I used my cryogenic technique to...

...to freeze one of my own eggs.

You did?

Why?

I've always wanted children and I...

I never found the

person that I want to...

And I'm not getting younger, so I thought,

well, I'll just save one, just in case.

It's in the dairy

section under "Junior".

What did you say?

My egg

is in

the freezer at the lab.

- You call it Junior?

I know. Well, I couldn't put my own

name because everybody would know.

And you can't tell if it's a boy or

a girl, so I thought Junior would...

I know. I've shocked you, haven't I?

I suppose it is a bit perverse

having your own eggs on display.

But some people keep their tonsils,

their adenoids and appendixes and...

Anyway, enough, sorry. I'm

embarrassing you. S, what...

- I'm sorry. I have to go.

- Alex?

What's the matter?

Not a roll, not a kick, not in two days.

I know something's wrong.

There's something wrong. Is

that what you want to hear?

All the drugs the father took

probably messed her up good.

- What drugs?

- I read up on Aerosmith.

Wasted for a decade.

Coke, booze, pills.

- What are you talking about?

- Which one is he?

Did you think it was someone in
