(sighing)

(sighs)

- Iris?

- Yeah?

- I'm sorry.

(water lapping)

- Morning.

(both laughing and chattering)

Have you thought about what

you're gonna do,

you know, if there's a baby?

- Not really.

- 'Cause I was just thinking

that I wouldn't want you to...

feel alone,

you know?

And if you wanted any help

that that would be

something I could do.

You know that I could help you

raise the baby.

I have a spare room.

- Are you sure that's what

you'd be up for,

want to do,

could bite off?

I don't know.

- Yeah, I think it is.

I could do the 3:00 a.m. feed,

you know?

I don't know.

I've just been thinking

about it.

It's whatever you want.

- I think I'd like that.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Thanks,

just, you know,

for the offer, even,

even if there is no baby.

- It's okay.

- Warm up?

- Yeah.

I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

(kids chattering)

(kids laughing and chattering)

- Here comes

the milk police car.

- Here comes

the milk race car.

(imitating sirens)

- Whoever has the Sun,

turn it on!

(chain rattling)

- F***.

(chain rattling)

F***!

F*** you.

F*** you.

F*** you!

F*** you!

(grunts)

- I think if you see

two together, it's good luck.

- The crows?

- Yeah, and one

is a spirit guide.

(both laughing)

- Hi.

- Hi.

Hi.

I have something I want to say

to you guys, okay?

I'm unemployed,

and I'm financially unstable,

and I am emotionally, at best,

precarious,

at worst, a cripple.

And I'm not in a place

in my life

to be any sort

of father figure, potentially.

And I'm certainly,

as your best friend,

no one I would recommend

as a boyfriend.

And that sucks,

because you...

might be carrying my baby,

and I'm in love

with your sister.

But...

I'm tired of being dead,

and I want

to come back to life.

So if there, you know,

is a baby in there,

you absolutely

should have that.

And I would love to help

if you want me...

not pushy, just available,

be it friend or uncle

or dad-ish,

on some level.

And you.

I don't deserve you.

But I would give you

every f***ing thing

that I have.

And if you guys would consider

having me,

I'm asking for a shot.

(laughs)

- I love you.

- And I love you.

- Come here.

Come on.

- Come on.

- Come on.

Don't be silly.

Come here, sperm stealer.

(laughter)

(clock ticking)

(sighs)

(chuckles)

(alarm rings)

- Okay.

- Okay.

All right, all right, all right,

all right, all right.

(sighs)

(peaceful acoustic music)

When I was playin' dead

I'd lie down

I wouldn't move

Though everything else was

The swing set

Kids playin' catch

with their dads

No one noticed yet

that I was gone

Then she came along

And, love,

I got you, didn't I?

I got you, didn't I?

I got you

And, love,

I got you, didn't I?

I got you, didn't I?

I got you

When I was playin' dead

I'd lie down

I wouldn't move

Though everything else was

The swing set

Kids playin' catch

with their dads

No one noticed yet

When I was alive

I didn't know why I died

I guess I thought everything

was that way

Your hair is gray

In other lights,

it's black

And when you laugh

Still brings me back

And, love,

I got you, didn't I?

I got you, didn't I?

I got you

And, love,

I got you, didn't I?

I got you, didn't I?

You got me
