So...

Okay. Well, I'll be back soon.

Okay.

Whoa!

[KIDS LAUGHING]

Hayley, check this out.

I'm restringing this piano

with real cow guts.

I'll layer it into the track.

Enzo. Enzo!

You need to back off.

You have to cut me some slack.

This is... It's too much. Okay?

Um, where's your garden?

Your heirloom tomatoes?

I always say that.

I mean the sunset junction

market.

Pretty much live

out of that place.

Uh...

oh, look at this bolex.

It's about the only thing

my father gave me.

[CAMERA WHIRRS, STOPS]

I want to show you something.

Something that I made.

Annie liked it.

I'm a very affordable director.

Especially for you.

Irish gin.

Try this.

My friends in Portland

home brewed it.

Why am I not surprised

that you make films, Enzo?

[DARK MUSIC PLAYS]

I made this a long time ago.

Kind of my early

childhood memories.

My father thought

I was too effeminate.

I'm sorry.

ENZO:
Only my mother

really understood me.

That's my sister.

My real sister.

Daddy's favorite.

HAYLEY:
She's beautiful.

Very cool style.

So do I get the job?

Yes. It's stunning.

I mean, you inspired me.

Even way before I met you,

I used to listen to your songs

over and over

And play along with them.

Wow, your sister's

a really good actress.

Her fear seems very real.

Yeah.

HAYLEY:
Wow. Enzo, it's so...

disturbing.

So universal.

Pain, pleasure.

Light, darkness.

In order to create...

you have to embrace

the dark side.

ENZO:
Stay right there.

You'll do whatever I say.

[CAMERA WHIRRS]

Shh.

Yes.

You can struggle.

But you can't escape.

Okay. Get up.

Reload.

Thank you.

That's great.

This is a macro lens.

It'll get you in closer.

Get on the ground.

Hey!

This is awkward, huh?

Yeah.

You know if he wasn't gay,

I might just have to kill him.

Anyway,

the lime tree's gonna fall.

So I'm gonna brace it.

ENZO:
Sean, could you put

a little lip gloss

On my finger, please?

Thanks.

And we're rolling.

[CAMERA WHIRRS]

Part your lips.

Do not push her too hard.

We're shooting

the wide stuff now anyway.

Annie, I know exactly

how hard to push.

Tighten the dress up.

Even more.

Annie, can I get a drink.

I'm on it.

- Like, a real drink?

- Definitely on it.

Suck it.

There you go.

Okay. That's good. Thank you.

All right.

Ah. Camila, why don't you

take 'em in the house?

Oh. Come on.

Are my kids wearing leashes?

Uh... i think so. Yeah.

They're not gonna get lost

in the crowd.

And we're back.

[CAMERA WHIRRS]

# if I let you in

# let you deep inside

# I don't know

if I can hang on #

# to what I used to be

# I let it die

# coil around me,

it's all yours #

# this is what you came for,

but you took so much more #

# much more than I can give

# this is what you came for

# now it takes so much more

# much more for me to live

# close enough to fall and die

# close enough to thrill me

# close enough

to crawl deep inside #

# keep me close enough to kill

MAN:
# close enough to kill

[LABORED BREATHING]

You guys, the label is gonna

flip over this new video.

Oh, my god!

Enzo, come here!

ANNIE:
Enzo,

I'm going to Nigel right away.

Ahh! Uh. I'm so happy.

Happy manager! Happy manager!

The partridge family is here.

You guys want to give 'em

some space.

- Sure.

- Let's do it.

Come on. Enzo, that means

you too. Come on.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Let's give them

some family time. Okay?

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR OPENS]

Get your ski on.

Bye!

Can we see the video?

Ah, not a chance, kid.

Well, maybe Lila and I

can see it.

I'm 11, you know.

Yeah. Well, yeah.

I mean, as soon as I get a copy,

You guys can see it.

Who wants to go to the ridge

and hunt for coyotes?

[IMITATING COYOTES]

Let's go!

BOY:
We're doing a race.

Look what I found!

LILA:
Oh. Look coyote vomit!

Well, good.

I was getting hungry.

Slightly better

than your mother's cooking.

Oh, gross! Come on.

Let's keep exploring. Let's go.

So why don't you try

something natural, like,

You know, melatonin?

Yeah, like,

I tried the melatonin.

But the xanax is the only thing

That actually calms me down

enough to fall asleep.

So I thought maybe

I could just get

A couple more months of that.

Any recent illnesses,

Severe cold, sore throat?

Nope.

When was your last period?

Uh... well,

it was before the tour. So...

DOCTOR:
Today's the 27th.

When did the tour

actually begin?

Six weeks ago.

Okay. Well, Hayley,

You are pregnant again.

Congratulations.

This is good, right?

Yeah. Uh...

it's just that

my husband has had a vasectomy.

Well, they don't always work.

Studies say 1 in 2,000.

Really?

No more xanax. No booze.

No cigarettes.

[KIDS YELLING]

CODY:
Mommy, Benjy hitted me.

But Cody started it.

[YELLING CONTINUES]

HAYLEY:
Hey, Benjy, no.

Hi, you're home early.

Um...

You know, I shouldn't have

looked at this. But...

are you pregnant?

Looks like it.

The stick was blue.

See, I thought

you didn't want another kid.

Yeah, you thought that.

But you never asked me.

Just like you never consulted me

about the vasectomy.

I told you

I was thinking about it.

You were all for it.

Yeah, but then you just did it.

But you know it's, like,

A 1 in 2,000 chance.

It's a borderline miracle.

Maybe it's meant to be.

Maybe we should just embrace

our destiny.

When are you due?

I have no idea. I'm going

to call the doctor tomorrow.

To be honest, I was just...

I was so in shock

I didn't even pay attention.

But it could be good, right?

Have another little monster

running around.

Morning. Delivery.

Thank you.

Why am I the last to know?

Come on, carter.

It's from Annie.

You know we have to strategize

a little bit.

CARTER:
Okay.

[PHONE RINGING]

ENZO:
Uh-Huh.

Finally you answer.

What the f*** is going on?

You sent me a baby gift?

How did you know?

And how did this happen?

I mean, you said

you used protection.

ENZO:
Those things

rip sometimes, Annie.

You were pretty wild.

All it takes

is a tiny, little hole.

Nothing's foolproof.

It's like 1 in 2,000?

Where did you get that number?

ENZO:
Hey, for dinner tonight

I picked up

these organic baby artichokes.

The twins'll love 'em

'cause you peel...

You're f***ing kidding me,

right?

You don't understand.

You're no longer welcome

in my house.

ENZO:
Don't stay that, Hayley.

You have to leave him.

Oh, Jesus, Enzo.

I can't talk to you anymore.

Do not call me again.

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

ENZO:
Yes. I understand.

Hey, so I was just about

to call you.

The label flipped out

over the new song.

Annie, I screwed up.

I f***ed up really badly.

ANNIE:
Why? What's wrong?

How long will it take you

to get here?

I'm turning

the car around right now.

I was just about to come over.

Okay.

I mean, I was just...

I was torn up.

You know,

the critics were in my head.

And I thought that I couldn't do

any good work without jack.

So you f***ed Enzo

to get your mojo back.

I totally get it. It's okay.

Yeah, I mean...

I got inspired again.
