And you have such

an opportunity now, you know?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Are you embarrassed a bit?

It's probably embarrassing,

in front of Jack.

- No. No.

It's just... yeah.

I mean...

We just...

it wasn't on the table.

At the end of the day,

it wasn't...

uh, wasn't to be,

so moving on.

- All right,

I'm just saying

that there's

tons of stuff you can do.

- Travel.

- No, but you... there's...

don't change the subject.

This is what you want.

There's sperm donors.

There's like...

- Christ.

- Yeah.

- It's expensive.

- But what I'm saying now

is that there's, like...

you can go online.

There's sperm donors.

There's sperm in the air.

You just grab a dude

and preg yourself up.

- That sounds horrible.

(both laughing)

- Pick a guy.

Any guy.

It would just be one night,

and then you're done.

- I'm gonna get some coffee.

Would you like a refill?

- Mm-hmm.

- Hannah, would you like

something?

- Ah, yes.

Thank you.

Refresh, please.

- Coffee?

Okay.

Good.

I'll be right back.

(whispers)

I need to talk to you.

(mouthing words)

(mouthing words)

- Let's go for a walk.

- Okay. Good.

Um, we're going to go

for a walk, Jack-Jack.

You're gonna stay here

and think about your life.

Come on, Hannah.

- I'm going for a walk.

- Hey, hey.

Hey, hey, quick.

Um, just wanted to check in

with you real quick.

So I don't know exactly

how to put this,

but it definitely was

a little weird.

I didn't know about you

and your relationship to,

like, wanting a baby and stuff,

which is great, obviously.

But, in terms of, like,

the whole, like,

"Oh, just grab a guy,

and there's sperm everywhere,"

Like, it definitely made me

think for a sec.

Our first night...

I hate to even bring it up,

but I feel like I should just...

- We used a condom.

- That's true.

Yeah, you're right.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Are we good?

Okay, thanks.

Sorry about that.

I didn't mean to...

- See you later.

- Backtrack.

I just felt like

double-checking.

Safety first.

- Yeah, and the thought of it

is scary,

and it's all

of those things.

And if I'm gonna do it,

I just feel like

I should just tell him.

And I thought about it

all night.

And we slept in the same

f***ing bed, you know.

And it's just the comfort

and the ease that we have.

I just don't believe

that just evaporates.

I hope, anyway.

I just feel like I've got

to take this leap.

And I was lying there

last night,

and I couldn't

get to sleep.

And he's snoring next to me,

and I'm, like,

"Just tell him.

Just f***ing tell him."

You know, I just...

I just have to.

I think it's time.

And I don't even know

what he's gonna think

or what he's gonna say.

I just feel like

I've got to stop

feeling so passive about things,

you know?

What's the matter?

Why are you being so quiet?

(scoffs quietly)

- You don't think

I should do it?

- No, I have

to tell you something.

And I have to tell you something

before I tell you something.

The first thing

that I'm gonna tell you,

you're going to have

a big problem with.

So I think I'm just

gonna tell you.

- Okay.

(sighs)

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, my God.

Oh.

(door slams)

- Iris!

- Jack!

- Whoa, whoa.

What's going on?

What's going on?

- You f***ed my sister.

You f***ed my sister!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

- Look, I'm so sorry.

- You were here for one night.

She's a f***ing lesbian.

- It was a total mistake.

You should never

have known about it.

I'm so sorry,

but there's something

much bigger at work here...

Hannah!

- Iris, I'm so sorry.

- Tell her about the condom.

Hannah, tell her

about the condom.

- What's he talking about?

- Tell her.

I found the condom!

- What'd you do?

Why were you looking

for the condom?

What's going on?

- Well, well, why?

You know why?

Because she poked holes

in the condom.

- Can you just shut up

for one second?

- No, you poked holes

in the condom.

It's a f***ing rain shower!

She tried to steal my sperm.

- I didn't try to steal

your sperm.

- Well, then, what was that?

- Did you poke holes

in a condom, Hannah?

- No.

Yes.

- Why?

- No, I was trying...

I was trying to get pregnant.

- With Jack?

- Yeah.

- No.

Not with Jack.

With someone.

- Oh, my God.

- Jack, you didn't even...

you weren't even gonna know.

- Oh, I wasn't going to know?

- It was going

into a little plastic sack

and get thrown

into the trash.

- Exactly!

Where sperm belongs

so it doesn't become

a f***ing baby

that I don't know about!

- Okay, so this...

let me just clear this up.

You potentially could be

pregnant with his baby.

Is that what...

is that what you're telling me?

- I don't know.

- Holy sh*t.

Holy sh*t.

You had to pick him,

didn't you?

You had go pick Jack.

- I didn't pick him.

- All the guys.

All of the guys,

and you had to go and pick him.

- I wasn't trying to pick him.

I was just...

- Why?

Why did it have to be him?

- I didn't know you were

in love with him!

How could I know you were

in love with him?

I would never have done that.

I don't want to hurt you.

I didn't know.

(whispers)

What are you doing?

- I don't know.

I just wanted a baby.

I'm sorry.

(whispers)

F***.

(whispers)

I f***ed up.

- F***.

(exhales sharply)

I am a really bad person.

(door slams)

(water lapping)

(owl hooting)

(knocking at door)

- Can I talk to you

for a second?

- No.

I don't want to talk to you,

Jack.

(sighs)

- Hey, hey.

- I really think your face

is going to annoy me right now.

I don't want to talk to you.

- My face always annoys you.

(sighs)

- I'm so sorry.

- Why did you do that?

Did you not think that

that would be weird for me?

Did you not think that, like,

even if I hadn't found out

that that would be weird thing,

that you'd have to carry that

and still be friends with me?

- It's weird.

It's definitely weird.

But it's, like, I...

I slept with your sister,

and you slept with my brother.

And I don't know.

I don't even...

This is just

so confusing.

There's a lot happening

right now.

But I can't...

I can't come between you

and your sister, okay?

That is not something

I can ever do.

- I can't even think about her

right now.

- She...

- I don't want anything to do

with her right now, okay?

- I just know I saw her

when you left the room,

and she loves you,

and she's sorry.

You can never understand

how important

the bond is that you have

with your sister.

You will never understand

the way I do.

I could never live with myself

if I knew, in some way,

I might be coming between you

or the cause of any of that.

And what I did was a mistake,

and it's the worst f***ing

mistake I have ever made.

But I didn't...

Oh, f***.

(sobs)

I didn't sleep with your sister

'cause I wanted to sleep

with your sister.

I slept with your sister

because I can't be with you.

I have to go.

- Where are you going?

- I don't know.

- You gonna come back?

(door slams)

(sighs)

(water lapping)

(door slams)

I made some potatoes

if you want some.
