Parker's Anchor Page #7

- You gotta hit the egg, get the ostrich egg.

- Thank you for taking me here.

It was nice to get out of the house.

- Yeah.

Well, thank you for coming with me.

- So tell me more about what it is you do, exactly.

- Uh, as of late, I'm going to the same two or three places.

- Okay. - Check this out.

- This is the place in Kenya?

- Yes, here, I'll show you.

This is Restore Humanity, which is in Kenya.

- Okay. - That's their symbol.

This one is the symbol for NWA Women's Shelter.

- [Krystal] Oh.

- [Jared] Okay, and this one's really obvious.

This is Potter's House, in New Orleans.

- Oh, yeah, totally makes sense.

- Yeah.

- I don't know why I just didn't get that from this.

- Yeah, you just didn't, yeah, you should just know.

- Yeah, and read it, mm-hmm, clear.

- Yeah, I volunteered there a few times, and, uh,

you know, they all called me to ask me back

for a month or two here, a month or two there.

Sort of fits with my life.

I mean, not everybody can take like a month off work, right?

When I first volunteered, I'd just graduated,

I had no job, no girlfriend.

Now I really enjoy going back, you know?

Sort of like my second family.

- And what is it you do there?

- Well, in New Orleans, I work with an at-risk youth center.

It's run out of this church,

and so I tutor math and English, and play sports,

and actually, want to see what we really do

most of the time?

Where is it?

That's a good one.

- Oh, yeah, Jared, you owe me 20 bucks!

- Me too, me too!

- Okay. - Mm-hmm.

- Take that, Jared.

- So I'm out a lot of money.

- [Krystal] Uh, great tutoring session.

- Yeah, thank you, there's a lot of math in basketball.

- [Krystal] Oh, sure.

back and forth, I bet all the girls that they couldn't dunk,

and then they robbed me blind.

But they're really, really good kids.

And it's always hard to leave, but it's good, though.

- That's how I felt leaving here.

I don't think Corinne ever really forgave me, though.

- That's weird, 'cause I don't think they care at all,

when I go, at all.

- Hey, is it safe to join?

- [Jared] Yeah.

- She's not playing a game right now, or--

- Nope. - Perfectly safe.

- Well, I am done with my shift and, although I am

a little afraid to ask, I was wondering

if the two of you wanted to play a game?

- Yeah. - Yeah,

I could play some more games. - Mm-hmm.

- But I don't think we could play, like, what was that?

Galaga or something?

- Oh, yeah, right.

- I guess something happened there, surprised, like,

somebody vandalized it. - Yeah.

- There's missing pieces and whatever.

- I saw that.

- Yeah, completely unrelated note,

I got you this really cool vintage joystick thingie.

It's in mint condition, it's super rad.

- Wow, this is for me? - Mm-hmm.

- You got this for me?

- I did. - This is so great.

This is so thoughtful.

- It is, isn't it?

- I can't believe this, it looks like it might fit

right into a Galaga machine.

- It could. - What?

- Oh, what a weird coincidence if it did, right?

- It does.

- So I can fix my machine now.

- Yeah. - That's amazing.

- Wow. - Yeah.

- Keeper. - Yeah.

- I'm gonna get to work, and please don't She-Hulk out

on the rest of my machines.

- (laughs) I shouldn't tell him about the other one.

- Yeah, don't tell him about the pinball machine.

- [Little Girl] Mom says that the seas had started to settle down

and be less wavy.

- [Kevin] It's just like going to the mall.

- That's what I think of it as.

- Okay, it's a person, that's a ninja.

A person with another head on the side of their body.

A Siamese twin, Siamese twin!

That is a, - Five seconds.

- Five seconds, that is a, a, a gut,

a beer gut, a beer belly.

Fat, a fat person with diabetes.

- Okay, are you calling me fat?

- [Krystal] Time's up.

- Pregnant, pregnant. - Oh.

- Girl, Corinne, is pregnant.

- [Jared] You're right.

- What is wrong with you?

- This is why we're winning.

- Alright, everyone ready?

- Yeah. - Yes.

- Okay, one, two, three.

- [All] Merry Christmas, Jared!

- Merry Christmas, sorry you're not here to enjoy

this delicious vegetarian feast.

Everyone's a vegetarian now, you missed it.

But I'm sure you're having a fun time with those kiddos.

Say hi for us.

- She misses you. - Merry Christmas.

- Your baby.

- Okay, alright.

- Krystal!

(peaceful music)

(fireworks popping)

(peaceful music)

(upbeat music)

- [Jared] Hey.

- [Krystal] Hi.

- [Jared] Hi.

- [Krystal] Welcome back.

- [Jared] Thank you.

- [Krystal] How are the kids?

- They're great, they, uh, made something for you.

- Oh, that's sweet, and I love them.

(gasps) Look at that.

- [Jared] Yeah.

They just kept asking me when you're gonna come out.

- Soon, I hope.

- Cool.

- Yeah, I'm gonna need to get a bunch of these,

'cause they're gonna sell like hotcakes.

- Oh, hotcakes are really good.

Yeah, let's get some hotcakes, and we can sit and talk

about this child labor thing you're proposing.

- I don't think you're gonna like some of my ideas.

- I don't like them already, but we can talk about 'em.

- (laughs) I have so much to tell you about that.

- [Jared] Oh, good, I'm glad.

They will definitely all work for free.

- [Krystal] I will impress you (laughs).

(pen scratching)

Get it?

- [Jared] In a second.

- [Krystal] Ready, tell me when.

Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, oh, no, no,

I was doing-- - I thought you said okay.

- No, no, no, okay like I was almost ready.

- Oh.

- I was getting, oh, we got more ribbon?

Okay, good.

- Ready?

My own store, yay!

Yay! - Yeah!

- [Krystal] You got it?

- [Jared] Yep.

Perfect.

(upbeat music)

- Finally, we get to start a new book.

- I picked After the Fall by Kate Hart.

I know the title makes it sound like it's a romance novel,

but it isn't.

My sister-in-law's book club loved it.

- Alright, sounds good.

So let's say, then, by next week,

like, the first three chapters?

Okay, well, the first page?

Alright, okay, book business out of the way.

So, Kim, how's little Taylor doing?

- He's okay, had a tough few nights, had an ear infection.

Poor little guy.

hoping that interview number four's gonna be the lucky one.

- Just taking time for those things.

- Something extra, so I thought I'd throw it out there.

If you hear of anything I can do in my pajamas,

preferably with a glass of wine.

Krystal, how are things with you?

- Uh, things are good.

My best friend's pregnant.

(guests gasping and murmuring)

- That's so exciting.

- [Woman] When's she due?

- Any day now, actually.

- [Woman] Is she all ready, bags packed and ready to go?

- She is very ready, but no bags packed,

that's one of the perks of a home birth.

- Wow. - A home birth?

Well good for them.

- Yeah.

- So, like, all natural, no epidural? (groans)

- [Daniella] So be a good friend, give her this.

Wait, that's mine.

(upbeat music)

- [Jared] Whoa, sweet, an indoor pool, I love it.

- [Corinne] It's a birthing pool, Jared.

- Ew.

Wait, are you in labor?
