like an abandoned trash barge.

Huh?

Oh. In the '80s,

there was this giant boat

filled with garbage

that just...

drifted up and down

the East Coast... for weeks.

They couldn't figure out

where to dump it,

so eventually, they just

docked the boat in Brooklyn,

burned all that trash.

(MELLOW JAZZ PLAYING)

(LAUGHS)

The ninth month is tough.

- I remember I could barely make it to the gym.

- CRAIG:
Yes!

- Let me take this.

- Yes! The Moreaus have arrived.

It's gonna be a great night.

- Drew, how are you, buddy?

- Craig. How's it going?

Great to see you. Marlo.

Yeah, I'm a personal

hug buffer now.

- Well, yeah, just what you've always wanted.

- Yeah.

It's actually kind of true.

ELYSE:

When is your due date again?

- Monday.

- CRAIG:
Jesus, don't have it here.

ELYSE:

She could have it in the ofuro.

We just got

this Japanese soaking tub.

- Craig's boss gave it to us.

- MARLO:
Wow.

My boss once gave me the flu.

So, what are we thinking,

it's a boy or a girl?

- What's happening here?

- ELYSE:
You know, I feel

- like it's definitely a boy.

- Marlo didn't want

to find out this time,

but I kind of wish we did.

Mid-40s,

who needs the surprise, right?

Well, you're gonna find out

any day now, so...

exciting.

Yep.

(MELLOW JAZZ CONTINUES)

Whoa. Where...

where are the kids sitting?

ELYSE:

Oh, they're with Shasta.

They have their own little

kid-friendly spread.

Truffle mac and cheese,

something green.

Yeah, lucky little bastards.

Wow, we can actually have

a conversation.

ELYSE:

I know, right?

Oh.

Siri, play hip-hop.

(HIP-HOP BEAT BEGINS)

(ELYSE LAUGHS)

Yeah.

Do you guys have

any chicken nuggets?

He only eats chicken nuggets.

Chicken nuggets are full

of growth hormones.

Do you know

what they do to the chickens

- at factory farms?

- What?

They slice off their beaks

with a hot blade

- so the chickens can't peck each other.

- Mm.

CRAIG:

So, Drew, how's work going?

I'm curious about the, um...

Last time we were talking

about, um...

Yeah, nobody...

nobody gets what I do.

(CHUCKLES) I, uh,

I audit organizational paths

and, uh, and systems

for workers

in a proto-corporate structure.

- Mm.

- Oh, yeah. 'Course.

That's fun.

Um, it's...

I hit a snag lately,

so it's kind of, uh,

compelling right now, but...

You're swamped,

on a big project.

Well, that and... three.

(FOOD CRUNCHING)

You know, the, uh,

that thing in your stomach.

Oh.

- Yeah, three kids.

- Mm.

- Crazy.

- Yep.

You're gonna love it.

We love having three.

And the third kid

is always the easiest. Right?

- Oh, yeah.

- Fred is so chill.

- You can ignore him. It's fine.

- (CHUCKLES)

Chill would be nice.

(CHUCKLES)

Yeah, you guys really have

your hands full with Jonah.

Um, not in a bad way.

I mean, he's such a great kid.

He's quirky.

His school wants us

to get him an aide,

'cause I guess

the teachers can't handle him.

ELYSE:

Oh, that's awesome.

Um, that they're, you know,

recognizing his needs.

- Yeah, no, they're...

- Yeah.

they're all over it.

Marlo, remind me after dinner

I want to show you

something cool.

I've already seen the G-Wagon.

(MOCKING):

It's not the G-Wagon.

It's very cool.

You're gonna like it.

(CRAIG SETS STYLUS

ON TURNING LP)

(TRADITIONAL HAWAIIAN MUSIC

PLAYING)

Do you like it?

When do the birds

start singing?

Okay, you know,

it was inspired by one

- of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

- Epcot?

Tahiti.

(CHUCKLING)

Sit down, a**hole.

I'll make you a drink.

So, um, I want to talk to you.

I have an idea for a special

baby gift this time around.

- Ooh, is it money?

- No.

(GROANS)

I don't mind money.

I'm not above that.

You know that, right?

Yeah. Do you know

what a night nanny is?

- Oh.

- Okay, you know what, everybody does it.

At least everyone

we know does it.

It's just like a regular nanny,

except they come at night.

You know, they stay over

for a few weeks, or a month,

and they take care

of the baby at night,

so Mom and Dad can get

some sleep. It's no big deal.

What? Does she breastfeed?

No, she doesn't breastfeed

your ba...

(CHUCKLES):

This is not feudal China.

No. She wakes you up,

so you... can, you know,

do the...

- Don't do that.

- breastfeeding,

and then you pass off the baby,

and go to sleep

when you're done.

Everybody wins.

I don't want a stranger

in my house

bonding with my newborn

every night.

That's like a Lifetime movie,

where the nanny tries

to kill the family

and the mom survives

and she has to walk

- with a cane at the end.

- Right.

Well, we had a night nanny.

I don't remember that.

The reason you

don't remember it is because...

she only came at night.

They're like ninjas...

they sneak in and out.

You barely even know

they're there.

Elyse said she was great.

Craig, please tell me

you didn't hire me

one of those people.

Oh, my God, you did.

Okay, Marlo...

you have a lot going on.

I know this kid

wasn't... planned.

And yes, yes,

it's the greatest thing

that's ever happened... he's

a miracle straight from Heaven,

blah, blah, blah, blah.

But...

I don't want

what happened last time.

Don't do that.

- Hey. I love you.

- No, seriously,

- you're being an a**hole. Stop.

- Drew needs to focus

on his protostructures,

and you need to be happy...

especially for Jonah.

I-I see the way

you're looking at me.

I know you think

this is just some...

bougie thing that

only rich a**holes do.

And maybe it is, okay? Maybe.

But don't forget,

I wasn't always a rich a**hole.

I grew up in that same

shitty house as you did,

- same shitty parents,

- Oh, my...

same sh*t-brown Buick,

and I'm telling you, Marlo...

Yes.

...get over yourself.

Call her.

She comes highly recommended.

MARLO:
You can't just outsource

your entire life.

(CHUCKLES):

Sounds pretty ideal to me.

You don't have to wake up

five times a night or whatever.

You don't even wake up anyway.

Well, I don't have b*obs.

Not yet.

It's not like

I could do anything.

It's fine.

It is.

You have a big year.

(GAS PUMP CLICKING)

You know, I've got

a couple of trips coming up.

You-you think

you're gonna be okay?

- Honey?

- Hmm? What?

Where'd you go?

Did you say something?

(GAS PUMP STOPS CLICKING)

(LOW WHOOSHING)

(LOW WHOOSHING

SLOWLY GROWING LOUDER)

(BURBLING)

(WHOOSHING GROWING LOUDER)

(WHOOSHING GROWING LOUDER)

(WHOOSHING STOPS ABRUPTLY)

Hi, uh, we're here

to have this baby.

(MONITOR BEEPING RHYTHMICALLY)

You're gonna feel

a little bit of freezing, okay?

This will be a little pinch.

Three, two, one, pinch.

It's going to go nice

and numb in a sec.

Good work.

Oh, you're great.

...the collection that we're

going to see here today.

Well, tonight's theme

is Mermaid Cove,

so we're celebrating

the beauty of mermaids

with all of our models.

We have some really long...

- NURSE:
Breathe it out. Breathe it out.

- (GROANS)

- Breathe it out.

- And go, go, go, go, go, go.
