[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'mlooking 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
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:
Anna:
Yeah, before you came along.
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 titsometimes, 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...
