But I'm sure that wherever he is,|he doesn't care that we screwed around.
He doesn't feel better that you|moved me in but told everybody|that it was more than sex.
He died, that really sucks.
But you don't get to make it better|by being this really great guy...
who only likes|the insides of people.
He was robbed.
So were you.
Even Lucia, who I could care less|about...
Couldn't care less.
Sorry.
So...good night.
You look kind of cute...all stupid|like.
Can I just say to all the girls|out there...
if you're with a guy who groaned or made|some crack during that little kiss...
you're with what we call|a closet case.
That's the number one tip-off.
Number two is if they freak out|about gays in the military.
You know, if they can't discuss it|without giggling about showering|with guys...
and bending over for soap|and stuff.
That's not good.
Real straight guys don't spend a|whole lot of time thinking about|wet naked men, if you ask me.
I'm sorry... it was all|that stuff about Tom.
How did you get here?
I followed you guys|from the Seven-Eleven.
Do you have anything to eat?
So what do we do now?
I'm gonna try to convince her|to have the baby back in the States.
Are you never gonna call me again?
I don't have to,|you keep tailing me.
Matt thinks that it was about sex,|too...
so I wasn't completely off.
Matt has a higher opinion of sex|than you do.
Than I used to.
Congratulations.
Congratulate Carl.
I don't feel so good.
What the f*** is she doing here?
Is something wrong?
Oh, my god! Take her to the couch,|take her to the couch.
Where does it hurt?
Where do you think?
What's going on?|Oh, my god, is she...
Hi, Miss Dalury.|What are you doing here?
Never mind, Jason. Call 9-1-1.
It's okay, it's okay!
Go see how fast|an ambulance can get here!
Get that towel.
You are not hemorrhaging.|Are you having contractions?
No, this is my sleepy face.|What the f*** do you think?
- What's going on?|- We can't get through!
We'll be at the hospital in a few|minutes. It's okay.
This can't be good.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Is that the ambulance?
That was Carl. How did he find us?
Only one of you can|go in there with her.
She's crowning.
What does that mean?
They can see the head.
It's huge! You can probably see it|from space!
You're gonna have a baby.
Yeah, lucky me.
You can call your mom if you want,|after this.
- No. Bill?|- Is another one coming?
Where's my bag?
Lucia has it. You need something?
Tom's ashes are in there.
All of them. I double-bagged it.
Good.
It was really f***ing low.
I want you to know that I know.
We don't have to talk about this now.|Everything's gonna be fine.
And the baby's Randy's.
I know, it was an accident.|I don't have to hear this now.
We don't need to talk about it.|Everything's gonna be fine.
I just don't want you to think|that I never think about it.
I don't think that.
If anything happens to me, will you|keep the baby, not them?
Nothing's gonna happen to you.
All right, here we go.
Breathe, breathe...
All right, bear down. Push.
Excuse me, but haven't we seen this|scene like a million times before?
I pant and swear, and I'm like,|you know, pissed off.
Women delivering|are always pissed off...
and asking for that shot,|that epidural or whatever.
And swearing at the man who got|them into it and so on.
So I gotta give you|something else to watch.
You feel free to go back and forth.
Carl, we're all waiting inside.
I'm fine out here.
I'm sorry. There wasn't time|to pull over.
- What's the point, Lucia?|- What's what point?
What's the point of sleeping with you|if it doesn't get your attention...
if I always come second to Bill?
Excuse me?
Say the point of sex isn't recreation|or procreation or any of that stuff.
Say it's concentration.
Say it's supposed to focus your|attention on the person you're|sleeping with...
Like biological highlighter.
Otherwise, there's just too many|people in the world.
So while I'm sleeping with you, I'm not|supposed to care about anybody else?
Look for me first|in any crowded room.
And I'll do likewise.
Otherwise, a person ends up sleeping|with somebody else.
It's just a habit,|thinking about Bill.
Because of Tom.
I know.
Are you okay?
So you think there are too many|people in the world?
What are you talking about?
And sex has nothing to do|with procreation?
Are you pregnant?
Yes.
Really?
And I'll tell you something,|it's not Bill's.
One more, one more. Come on, Dedee.
It's a boy.
It's a boy.
It's a boy.|It's a beautiful baby boy.
Just do me a favor, count his balls.
Oh, sh*t...
She's gonna need blood.
We need two pints of O-negative|in here stat.
And put twenty crit in that line|and open it up.
Call surgery and tell them we've|got a postpartum bleeder in the E. R.
Let's go, let's move!
Didn't think I could die, did you?
Look at them. Who'd have thought|they gave a sh*t?
Even her. Look at her.
Unless she's crying for Bill,|not me. Contact grief.
No, I think it's for me.
Look at Bill.|I did nothing but screw up his life.
I knew Matt liked me.
He's got a boner,|believe it or not.
Drama queen.
And like these guys,|some of you ended up liking me, too.
And thought maybe,|just maybe I wasn't a total sh*t.
But you were wrong.|I'm screwing with you right now.
No way I died.
I could've, that much is true.
The river of blood, that happened.
But somehow it stopped.
I don 't know why, but it did.
When do we get to see him?
After they've cleaned him up.
We can leave.|We don't have to stay long.
Does she get skinny right away?
Probably not, Matt,|but that's a real intelligent question.
Because she really hated being fat,|I mean really...
You okay, buddy?
Yeah, it's been a long year.
I'm glad she's not dead and all...
but she's what|I call a real user.
I don't know what's so great|about motherhood.
Just looking at that soft spot made|me wanna scream.
I told Matt and Jason|that I wanted to keep him,|and they were pretty cool about it.
When you nearly hemorrhage|to death, people cut you a break.
Most of them, anyway.
Carl got us to return to the States,|so he's like super cop.
Matt and I had to go out to Palm|Springs and answer all these|questions about Randy.
Matt gets off scot-free.
Me, they put in jail|for six months for leaving|the scene of a crime or something.
Even though they couldn't prove|it was murder.
Especially since Randy left all|these crazy writings in the room|about satan and stuff.
So that looked good for me.
Lucia decided to forgive me|and sent me care packages every week.
Lucky me.
Jason made a statement that he'd|been paid to make his charges...
by the Christian Right guys on|the school board -- the ones|against evolution and Huck Finn.
Which was a total lie, but even so,|they won't be back for another term.
I let Bill take custody|of the baby.
And he worked it out so my parole|time was spent at his place in Indiana.
Breaking escrow cost him a shitload.
