And you need that.
One person in a relationship
has got to punch.
Do you mean that in a good way?
Oh, it's a high compliment.
Thanks.
Listen, I know what
you're worried about.
You think he's
gonna turn into me,
but I don't think
it's gonna happen.
He's smarter and
probably a little cuter.
A little less Jew-y.
Although after 50,
that's all gonna change.
Be prepared to wake up
one day with a rabbi.
But the good news is, you know,
he'll love you forever.
That's in our DNA.
We stick around.
He worries about you, you know.
It puts a lot of
pressure on him.
I know, I just don't have anyone
else to talk to about it.
Why don't you talk to Claire?
If I open up to her,
she'll leave me.
No, she won't.
Mmm.
Larry, she loves you.
I know, but there's a certain point
at which you just can't stay.
I guess it's hard
to forgive somebody
if they don't
formally apologize to you.
Are you apologizing?
I'm very close.
Yes, I'm sorry.
I'm glad everybody's okay.
Okay, thanks.
Oh, thank you.
All right, I'm off.
Okay.
This is awkward.
What?
I need $40 for a cab.
That's funny.
No, I'm not kidding.
Oh, yeah.
You drove me, honey.
I wasn't prepared.
I know.
I only have a hundred.
It's okay.
I'll bring you the change.
All right.
Give him a kiss for me.
I don't get it.
See, it's not sad.
It's happy, because they helped
each other achieve their destiny.
Great. I'm gonna have
some freaky-ass nightmares.
Hi.
Hi.
life so much better
before we tried to
change everything.
I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry. I don't want
to keep anything from you.
I love you, you're my wife.
I just didn't
want to let you down.
Are you mad that I'm pregnant?
No. I'm not mad,
I'm thrilled.
You don't feel trapped?
I sometimes feel
like I trapped you.
I don't feel trapped.
Really?
No.
You should,
because I have trapped you.
You can't go anywhere.
I'm gonna get you pregnant every 10
years for the rest of your life.
I'm so happy to be with you
and I love you so much.
You're my favorite person
in the whole world.
God damn it, why am
I crying like this?
Something is wrong with me.
You're pregnant.
Oh, yeah.
Sh*t.
I was just outside telling
your dad that I liked him.
What if he
thinks I like him now?
No, he won't think that.
I don't want him to think
I like him that much.
No, it will never happen.
Can you believe it? This is
What are we gonna do
with a third baby?
I have no idea.
How are we going to afford it?
We'll sell the house.
We don't have to.
We kind of do.
We kind of do.
We'll make new memories
in a new house.
I love you.
to do for your birthday?
It's been the worst
birthday ever.
There is one thing, but I
don't think you'll like it.
What?
I wouldn't mind going to see some music.
Would you want to do that?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
I don't believe you, but
How do we break
you out of here?
I can just leave on my own volition.
It's not a mental institution.
Can you?
Yes.
It's not like One Flew
Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Please don't put
a pillow over my face.
Let's get outta here, McMurphy.
You got it, Chief.
Will you carry me?
You've been carrying me
all this time.
Thanks.
I like this song.
Really?
Why?
Why don't you sign him?
Ryan Adams?
No, he wouldn't sign with me.
Why not? You're the best.
He is in between labels.
Let's go try and talk
to him after the show.
Thank you.
I'm sorry if I'm not all
fancy pants and wealthy
and showing it all off with
Sorry.
Quit slow-blinking at me.
I'm sorry.
Okay...
I would like to rear
up and jackknife my legs
and kick you both in the
f***ing jaw with my foot bone.
That's what I
would f***ing love.
I wish my f***ing foot would
This is what happens
when you corner a rat.
I will f***ing kill you.
You corner me, I will
f***ing chew through you.
I'll chew through you!
Slow-blinking eyes. I will
chew off your f***ing eyelids.
You won't slow-blink
at me, will you?
Did you drink
before you came here?
No, but I'm gonna
start drinking.
I'm gonna slit somebody open like
That's what I'm gonna drink
if we don't start getting
to the f***ing point here.
Probably I'm gonna start
with Karen Carpenter's head.
I'm gonna rip her head off
and I'm gonna drink her blood.
And then I'm gonna come back
and light you on fire.
I'm gonna light
you all on fire.
But I'm gonna
start with you, Jill.
You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna
go buy a f***ing pickup truck.
And a cord of rope.
And I'm gonna string it around
all three of your f***ing necks
and then drive
around town, dragging you.
That's what I'm
gonna f***ing do.
That's completely uncalled for.
Really, Jill?
Do you think it is?
F*** off, Jill. God,
everybody f***ing hates you.
God!
That isn't even nice.
Go suck a big
f***ing dick, Jill.
That's totally
uncalled for, Catherine.
You're a f***ing a**hole.
Everybody hates you.
They hate your f***ing bob.
And I'm glad your husband died.
Because you're a f***ing a**hole.
I would. Kill myself.
God, I'd kill myself, Jill.
Cut!
