Earl, if you don't

put that stinking camera away,

I'm going to smash it.

Earl!

All right, all right.

You're doing great, sweetheart.

You're doing great.

What am I doing?

Try and steady your breathing, hon.

Hi. I'm Francine Pomatter.

Jim's told me so much about you.

He thinks you're just

a terrific woman.

So you must be.

Did I mention my wife

is a resident here?

I think you might have

mentioned that.

He's so proud of me.

He tells everybody.

She going to be here

through the whole delivery?

I mean, are all the residents

going to be here?

No, no, they were just here

to witness the administration of the epidural.

So I'm clearing the room now.

So everybody out.

She's fully dilated, Doctor.

I think it's time for her to push.

Let's go.

Five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10...

One, two, three, four,

five, six,

seven, eight, nine, 10...

That was a good one, Jenna.

That was a good one.

- One, two, three, four, five...

- We're getting close.

- Good, good.

... six, seven, eight, nine...

Good, we're almost there.

- We're almost there, sugar.

- One, two, three, four, five...

...six, seven, eight, nine, 10.

I don't want no baby, Earl!

Oh, it's a girl.

How do you like that?

Would you like to cut the cord,

Mr. Hunterson?

Yeah. Why not?

Would you like to hold your baby, Mrs. Hunterson?

Mrs. Hunterson.

Did you hear me?

Are you okay?

Mrs. Hunterson?

Give her to me.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Hey.

Do you remember what I said?

Don't you go loving

that baby too much.

I don't love you, Earl.

I haven't loved you for years.

I want a divorce.

That's not a funny joke.

We got this new baby here.

Shouldn't be making jokes like that.

I want you the hell out of my life.

You are never to touch me,

ever again.

I am done with you.

If you ever come

within six yards of me,

I will flatten your sorry ass,

and I will enjoy doing it.

Now hold on a second.

Lulu... that's your name.

Little Lulu.

We're going to have so much fun,

little girl.

We're going to have

so... much... fun.

Jenna, sweet,

- you got to wake up.

- Hmm?

We got to wake you. It's time to go.

Earl's refusing to pay,

so they're kicking you out.

- Oh, I can't go home.

- You gonna come stay

with us for a while till

you get back on your feet.

You could stay with us,

but I thought Phil's convulsions

might frighten the baby.

Oh, I got to see that baby!

Oh, a beautiful baby girl!

Oh...

Look at that little girl!

Cute little girl.

Little, tiny baby girl.

Lulu, the love of my life.

Hon, we have some bad news for you.

Old Joe was admitted

to the hospital

same day you were.

No, I know, he came by

to see me.

Well, he's not doing so well.

In fact, he went into a coma

and they don't think

he's going to recover.

No! Oh, poorJoe.

I know you like him.

You're probably the only person alive

that likes him, though.

Becky!

I'm sorry,

but he's a scaly old gator.

No, he's dear.

He came in, he gave me this card.

Where'd I put that?

I set it down right over here.

"To my only friend, JOE'S PIE SHOP. Start fresh, Joe"

- Look at the baby. Look at that.

- She's so cute.

Oh, the tiniest little hands.

Look at the little nose.

Oh, she's pretty. Jenna, she's real pretty. Jenna, she's... Little girl, little girl. Little baby girl. We love that baby girl. She's the cutest baby in... Is it a nice card?

Yeah, it's okay.

Jenna, where you going?

Oh, they're kicking me out.

Uh, ladies, would you mind

if I had a minute

alone with my patient

to talk to her before she leaves?

Oh...

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Thanks.

- Here, Becky, take her.

Oh, goodness.

Come here, baby.

Come here, little baby.

You come see Aunt Becky.

You come see Aunt Becky.

Oh, my goodness.

Thanks, ladies.

Okay.

Look at you.

Dawn, look at her face.

I know what you're thinking.

No, I don't. That's a lie.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking...

I could never thank you enough

for everything you've done for me.

I'm thinking

your wife's around

and you probably shouldn't kiss me.

The way she looks at you,

so much trust.

So that's it?

It's over?

I don't have any say in this?

We could have a big drama here

that gets drawn out for a couple years,

makes everyone miserable.

Or we could just end it

right here, you know?

No body count, just say bye-bye.

I'm saying bye-bye.

Dawn, wheel me off now, okay?

Off? Okay.

Wheel me off.

Wait, wheel me back.

Here...

Take this.

Okay, wheel me off again.

What the heck was that all about?

Oh, nothing.

I just had an affair with him.

Your doctor?

Yeah, and he's married.

Nice lady, too.

Jenna!

I just ended it for good.

Here, give Lulu to me.

Okay. Go see your mommy.

Hi!

Geez, I never seen a baby

this beautiful.

You ever seen a baby this beautiful?

No.

(singing)Baby, don't you cry Gonna make a pie Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle Baby, don't be blue Gonna make for you Gonna make a pie

with a heart in the middle Gonna be a pie

from heaven above Gonna be filled with strawberry love Baby, don't you cry,

gonna make a pie - Lulu's Pies

Hold you forever

in the middle of my heart.

Bye!

Bye!

- Bye, y'all!

- Bye-bye!

Bye, bye, bye!

Bye, bye, bye!

Bye-bye.

Bye!

Bye!

You want to walk?

Bye!

Bye!

Special thanks to SergeiK.
