I started to think that maybe...

my b*obs overheard me...

and were just, like,

"You know what?

We are sick of this.

Let's kill her."

I couldn't believe that I was back onstage

doing an hour of material.

I felt like the intro to Mary Tyler Moore.

I felt like I tossed my hat in the air,

and I just felt like I was back.

Good night.

Ready to adopt children?

Can't wait.

You don't have to.

- Hi.

- Hi.

We've both, sort of, decided

that we wanna look into adoption,

and I'm also interested

in having kids of my own together.

So I think we're gonna end up

having a bunch of kids

in different ways.

We need to get a subscription

to Parent magazine...

immediately.

Hello.

- Hi.

- How are you guys? I'm Jennifer.

- Oh, I'm Tig.

- Tig, nice to meet you.

- Hi, Stephanie.

- Stephanie, nice to meet you.

Come on back.

Are we gonna put all our bathroom stuff

together in the one downstairs?

I have no idea.

It'll all be a mystery

that unfolds.

Buying this house

has been bittersweet

because it's the greatest place.

I wish my mother could be here

to see what Stephanie and I

are building together,

and I wish that I could...

share Stephanie with my mother.

In here.

This is where children are gonna go.

We're gonna have

two single beds.

We'll put one little

newborn infant on each bed

and just hope

they stay there at night.

We'll just tell them to stay.

Oh, yeah, we'll just tell them

to stay in bed.

This definitely feels like...

- the beginning of the family.

- Yeah.

Going through everything that I did,

it has changed my life as a person,

as a performer.

I just feel so much more keenly aware

of how happy and thankful I am

for what I have,

and I... I feel very lucky.

This is what being alive is all about.

Just that idea of taking risks

and seeing the payoff.

You know, it's so clich,

but it's like you're alive...

so you might as well take chances.

This is so exciting.
