[Horns honk in distance]

Anna:

Are you even...

Will:
Yeah,

just give me a second.

[Both speaking indistinctly]

Okay.

Okay.

- Okay? You want me to...

- Yeah. Just give me a second.

Just give me a second.

Okay.

Okay.

- Oh.

- Ah. There we go.

[Bed thumping]

I love you.

[Grunts]

You're so perfect.

I love you.

Just stay like this.

Just...

Just stay like this forever.

Okay.

I love you.

Oh. Careful.

Careful.

[Grunts]

[Both breathing heavily]

- See, I told you.

- It was quick.

[Both laugh]

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Is that a record?

[Laughs]

I don't want to get

anything on the sheets.

[Sighs]

Will you get me

something?

Phew.

Towel.

Thank you.

- There we go.

- Phew.

[Sighs]

Ooh.

Mm.

- Where's the remote?

- Hmm?

You have the remote?

No, I thought you had it.

Oh, yeah.

- Yep.

- Yeah.

[TV turns on]

I love you.

I love you.

- Good night.

- Good night.

[Dog howls]

Dr. Bennett:
All right, class, I'm

looking forward to your thesis drafts.

But first, Anna...

30 is a milestone.

Say goodbye to your youth.

Great.

- Surprise, Anna.

- Surprise!

- Happy birthday, Anna.

- Thanks.

- Happy birthday!

- Thank you.

Anna, you are the most

beautiful thing I...

I have ever seen... No.

Anna, I...

want to be with you

for the rest of my life,

and I hope you do, too?

- [Horn honks]

- No. No.

No, no, no, no.

Pbht!

- Hey.

- Hello.

Happy birthday!

[Laughs]

Mm!

- Don't panic.

- What?

- Oh.

- 30's just the beginning...

of the end of your life.

Ooh!

Oh, it's big.

I cannot wait

till you see this.

Yes.

Oh, that is scary.

[Laughter]

Look at that hair!

Look at you.

- You look so handsome.

- Whose arm is that?

Thought you could probably use

some art for the new house.

New house?

Somebody say new house?

- Huh? Huh?

- Hey, we're right on schedule.

Okay. Okay.

All right, we're nowhere

near on schedule...

- Thank you.

- ...but listen, I screwed up,

made a few crucial

miscalculations, you know.

Just not this one.

- Aww.

- [Chuckles]

- That was nice.

- Thank you.

- It was good.

- It was good, right?

- Good save.

- It was good, right?

- Thank you.

- Oh, my God.

You know what I was thinking

about coming here tonight?

Summers at the lake.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm.

Like how our parents

left us up there, you know?

I mean, they should be here

tonight, Mom and Dad.

Hey, look, they are who

they are, and we love them.

It just reminded me that you

covered for them, so thank you.

- Oh, my God, and we'd gossip about boys...

- Yeah.

...and your crush on Teddy.

- For Will.

- No, Teddy.

- Ted... for Will.

- [Laughs]

Sorry.

Teddy Fredricks?

Teddy Fredricks.

- You remember him.

- With the giant neck?

- No, he did not have a giant neck.

- This guy had a giant neck.

- It was huge, Reece.

- He was just very strong.

He was like an orc.

You knew I had

a crush on Teddy.

No, I did not.

My point is

we were inseparable.

God, you guys met

when you were babies.

We were babies!

First loves

and still together.

Never been with anybody else

your entire lives.

It's so crazy.

- And it killed me because I thought...

- Come on.

- ..."I'm gonna be alone for the rest of my life."

- All right.

But then

you introduced me to him.

Now, if you could just convince

this one to knock me up,

that would be lovely.

[Laughter]

- They should be here tonight.

- William.

- Mm-hmm.

- I'm not trying

to call you out

in front of your someday wife,

but when we were

in the dorms freshman year,

you told me you'd

already amassed

quite a few notches

on your belt.

Really?

Is that right? You did?

I-I lied.

Wow.

- It's a weird lie.

- Reece.

- I was 18.

- We shared a bunk. We had a bond.

- Come on.

- It wasn't enough to...

No, it's just I was

a quiet farm boy,

and you were so f***ing cool

and impressive.

- I wasn't enough.

- No, it's not that. No.

It's just he had a tattoo,

he had all the best drugs,

he'd already f***ed

so many...

you'd already f***ed

two Congressmen.

- Together, as well as separately.

- [Laughs]

- I'm a uniter.

- Oh, okay.

I wanted you to like me,

so I lied.

Well, it's disappointing.

We've made up for it

since.

- Only with her.

- What?

- [Scoffs]

- You know what, Reece?

Our sex life, we don't need to

because our sex life is...

is really, really great.

Compared to what?

Reece.

I mean, Anna, if you've never

had anybody but Will,

I say find out what

another cock feels like.

- What?

- Reece.

Don't you want to know?

Aren't you curious?

You must be.

I mean, really, come on.

The two of you

are so perfect

and constant and inevitable

and f***ing boring.

You practically

already have babies.

- Live a little!

- Okay, come on.

Don't you want to be the guy

you pretended to be in college?

Aren't you gonna be

a little disappointed

if you die

and you never were?

Anyway, look,

there's no risk.

You two...

You two love each other.

You love each other.

You're a monument to love

that will stand for all time

and I toast you

and I love you.

- Oh, cheers, Reece.

- Thank you very much.

- Thank you so much.

- [Laughs]

Well...

[Clears throat]

Um...

Following that,

I was...

Uh, I was going to...

give you a set of keys

tonight.

But the house

isn't finished,

so no keys, sorry.

Um, but I-I will say,

um...

Anna...

I could look at your face

for the rest of my life,

and, um...

I love you.

I-I love you.

Happy birthday.

[Rock music plays]

Will:

You liked Teddy Fredricks.

Anna:

Yeah, before you came along.

Did you journal about him

and his thick neck?

Yeah, I was scared,

but he... he wanted me.

- Oh, how Victorian.

- [Laughs]

Wait, this is after

we were together?

Yeah, it was kind of a standing

offer until college.

- Really?

- Sure.

And?

Uh, we moved to Naples

and got married.

I-I chose you.

But you were into Teddy.

That is... [Scoffs]

What? I was curious.

I mean it's not...

You... You've been attracted

to other women.

I mean...

Yeah, not...

- Well...

- Well, no, not more than you.

No.

Okay.

Points for that.

Mm.

Thank you.

I suppose,

you know, you just...

[Sighs]

I w-wanted experience.

And I got in the way.

Obviously not.

[Siren wails in distance]

[Joan as Police Woman's

"Human Condition" plays]

Hale:
You're a real tit

sometimes, you know that?

Whatever.

I shouldn't drink champagne.

[Laughs]

Yeah,

I think you just think

you're way funnier

than you actually are.

- Nonsense.

- No.

- I'm very funny.

- Oh, yeah, you are?

- Mm.

- I think we can agree to disagree on that one.

You'd be lost without me.

Hey.

- Hmm.

- Hey.

- What?

- Mm.

I meant what I said

earlier.

About what?

About having a baby.

I want to have a baby.

- How about a puppy?

- Come on.

Mwah.

Can we have the bill,

please?

Reece,

that's not a waitress.

Oh, f***.

Human, human, human,

condition

Ow! Careful!

Human, human, human,

condition

Will:
I wouldn't be jealous.

Would you?

W-Were you thinking about...
