You don't look so excited.

I'm excited. What?

Do I not look excited?

No.

I just... Okay. Well, you guys are trying

it out in a different way, you know.

Maybe there's a reason

it hasn't happened yet.

- That's all. That's all I'm saying.

- Babe.

What? Babe, what?

Don't babe me.

What is... What does that mean?

I mean, like...

- I don't know what I mean. I don't know.

- What do you mean by it?

- I think you do know what you mean.

- You do know what you mean.

I mean, how like how is this thing

gonna work? How you guys gonna...

Maybe this is really...

Maybe this is really normal in New York.

- But...

- Why can't you just be supportive?

I have been nothing

but supportive.

But this isn't...

This isn't one of your little like,

schemes, like you moving off to the big city

and you know deciding you're gay and...

I mean this is a kid.

You're bringing a child into the world.

I think you should put

a little bit more thought...

Yeah, they're thinking of

bringing a child into a world

with three parents

that love that child.

I can assure you, a mom and a dad

does not create that all the time.

I mean, I've seen situations

where kids have a mom and a dad

and then mom's an alcoholic

or dad that beats up the mom...

Nobody is talking about...

I'm talking about

that though. I'm just saying...

My point is that there's

no normal situation at all.

Reggie, don't go.

I guess what we're trying to say is

that not... You need a mom and a dad

but you need a loving mom

or a loving dad.

- Yeah, that's all I was saying.

- - It's more about how we are.

Stability. That's...

Mo's voice, again.

- Make a wish for a baby.

- A baby.

- And then as a consequence I was pissed off.

- Oh, my gosh.

Just a annoyed little child.

Look,

you're just holding a pair of sunglasses.

You're so adorable, your face.

Mo, look at you there with a dog!

Look at your white boots.

I know.

- Oh, my God. I can't take it.

- That's my favorite.

No. I want one. I want one that's

half of that and half of me.

Oh, we want it.

Oh.

- Come on now, put it in.

- Come on, do it. Do it.

Mo, you're so cute and sweet.

Mo, we would make such beautiful

little friendly creatures.

All right, let's do it.

Really?

- Yeah, let's do it.

- Like right now?

- Yeah, right now.

- Like I go get my kit right now?

Yeah, do it.

- Are you serious?

- Go get it.

- Go get it.

- Oh, my God. Before he changes his mind.

Before I change every

single part of my mind.

Gross.

Oh, my gosh!

Let me get you started.

Dude, she's so excited.

Are you serious, you wanna do it?

- Yeah.

- Don't f***ing get cold feet now.

Did you already start?

- It's... It already happened. You missed it.

- No!

Just rub yourself

against that wet spot and...

Okay, babe.

It's all good.

Okay. Listen,

this is very serious.

You know what this means.

Yes.

And don't contaminate

the specimen.

Okay, hold it.

Easy, easy, easy.

- You're good.

- Yeah.

It's warm.

Ew.

Polly, just do it.

You need help?

Let me help you.

- Do you want to hold my legs up?

- Yeah. Hold on, one second.

- Yeah, lift me up here.

- - Wait.

Okay, we have to think

positive thoughts.

And tell the sperm

to go right to the egg.

Yeah. Babe, show her

the picture

with you and the dog.

That one.

Oh, my God.

Wait, wait. Hold it up.

Oh, sh*t.

Goodnight, kid.

- Goodnight, Ceci.

- - Goodnight.

Good vibes, you guys.

Good job, babe.

Thank you.

- Mm. Thank you so much.

- Oh, thank you for being here.

- Come to New York, you promise?

- We will, I promise.

- And cross your fingers for...

- Yeah.

Fingers are crossed over,

and the prayers are up.

Okay. Thank you.

Bye, nice to meet you.

Thank you so much for everything.

Come to New York.

Bye, sweetie.

- Take good care of yourself.

- I will. Bye.

Bye, bye.

- Can I make a left here?

- - Yeah.

- Have a good night.

- - Good night.

- Bye.

- - Bye.

Okay, bye.

You can go. I'm good.

- Me too. Go.

- Okay.

Oh, what the f***?

- What the f*** is that?

- - Is that human sh*t?

- Someone took a sh*t on our stairs.

- Oh, smells like it, dude.

Under f***ing light.

How bad is that?

- Oh, it's so humiliating.

- I swear.

- I'm just going to bed.

- I wish I could.

I feel unclean.

Babe.

- Leaving for the gallery.

- Huh. Okay.

Good luck at the gallery.

Here we go.

- Hi, excuse me?

- Hello.

Hi. Are you guys set up?

Yeah, we have a meeting

with Marcus.

- Wendy.

- Yeah.

Come check this out.

- Oh, I love it!

- It's crazy, right?

- Okay, let's go.

- No, you love this. You love Michael. You have to.

Hurry up.

Make sure, it's, uh, on focus.

- Hey. Hello.

- Hey, you guys.

- How are you guys? Great?

- Ready.

So want to get the lights,

Jesse. Thank you.

- Do you wanna hit the space bar?

- - Yeah.

Let's hit it.

- Okay, this is gonna be working here?

- Yeah.

Okay.

No, wait. That part is so good.

Wait. One second.

Okay, okay. Oh.

- It's her.

- - Who is that?

Um, it's my friend Polly.

The friend that I told you that, uh,

that I was trying to have a baby with?

- Sure, yeah.

- And then Wendy was there.

- You don't wanna finish it?

- No, no. I do. We will.

Can you hit the lights?

Look, but...

Yeah, hit the lights,

Jesse. Thank you.

- You don't like it?

- No, I do. I do.

- I like it.

- Yeah?

- Oh, yeah. It's just different.

- Yeah, it's a little different than when we thought.

It's a lot different.

I know I just

thought that it was...

It would be more compelling for people at

the gallery and maybe have a little stage.

- Okay.

- Down like, down below the...

Spaces... It's a good show.

- So you put it...

- But we'll put it to the oracle.

But is it gonna be part of it?

Well, if you're kind of lucky.

I can't... I'm...

I don't make those decisions.

The Oracle makes those.

What do you mean?

Who is the Oracle?

- Are you teasing me?

- No. I really don't know who you're talking about.

Come here.

You go first.

You didn't like it, did you?

You... What's going on?

You just...

I'm a little bit surprised, it's different.

But this is where

the decisions are made.

What do you mean?

- That's the Oracle?

- This is.

I mean, we light the candles.

Just hit the question.

Okay? In our hearts.

Marcus, you really

are not being serious.

- Are you kidding?

- What do you mean? How...

How are you gonna consult to that

whether I can be in the show or not?

- Don't be tensed.

- Okay.

- The questions...

- This is so weird. I don't get it.

Don't be tensed. The questions

are asked and the answers come.

- But then how does the Oracle answer to your question?

- Freddy.

Freddy, the answers come.

Okay?

No, it's not okay.

I just don't get it.

Did you... Did you study

Greek or Latin ever?

Have you ever gone

to high school, Freddy?

Yeah, I went to high school.

You don't need to get sassy, Marcus.

- Sassy?

- Yeah.

Little cuteness party is sassy.

That video is sassy.

There's nothing

personal about it.
