Boys with

their toys.

[CARLO]

Ha.

How are your photos coming?

- Uh, good.

- Hmm?

Really good, actually.

Great.

Wow.

[LAUGHS]

That's great.

Yeah. I have two

exhibits this year.

Really? Where? Mm-hmm.

Blott Gallery

and Hasselbanks.

- Hasselbanks?

- Yeah, I know. Right?

You should see what else they have

lined up at Hasselbanks in the spring.

The Romario. The Romario retrospective.

You know his work?

I can't believe that my face is gonna

be on the same brochure as Romario.

- Wow.

- I'm gonna be hanging out with him.

It's been a whirlwind.

Wow. Really?

Well, hey,

you deserve it.

[LAUGHS]

You know who's helped me out?

Del Piero.

- I haven't thought about that guy in ages.

I hated him. - Come on, man.

The only reason you hated him was

because he didn't like your work.

Yeah, well, he loved your

work, didn't he? He did.

His agent picked me up.

[JOEL] Wow. [CARLO] Mm-hmm.

Jesus.

You're in the big time.

Hey! That's me.

Yeah, Joel inserted some of

his old grad school shots,

so his clients still think

he's cutting edge.

College tuition.

Forty bucks an hour.

Oh, Jesus. Prints.

Fingerprints. Sorry.

[GROANS] Grace, are you still

managing the restaurant?

Uh-huh. Hopefully

not much longer.

I think I wanna

go back to school.

- Oh, really? In what?

- Probably social work.

Ah, that's honorable. Yeah.

[SHARYL] Wow.

Yeah, a social worker with an art

photographer. Debtors' prison awaits.

- [JOEL] Well, there are worse places to

end up. - [GRACE] We'll see.

- I, uh... I didn't know you were

interested in social work. - I am.

- But didn't you do communications in

undergrad? - That was a joke degree.

Gracie, I told you not to do that.

[SHARYL] Come on now, Grace.

No, seriously. What? You guys got

real degrees at real schools.

- I hate when you speak like that.

- Dartmouth, Wesleyan, Cornell.

Grace, if it's any consolation, I

learned my worst habits at Dartmouth.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Sounds great.

It's all great.

I think it's a good time for us.

Yeah.

Just beware of giving social

services with those legs.

[CHUCKLES] Don't you worry. I'm gonna

have her wear slacks. Woolen and baggy.

Right? Whatever I wear, I

probably won't look attractive.

- What, are you...

- No, no. [CHUCKLES]

But... maybe.

[JOEL] Oh, sh*t! Babies?

While I go back to school.

It's just speculation.

[SHARYL] Are you trying?

We're not not trying.

- Remember when we used to do that?

- Excuse me?

Remember when we, uh...

When we what?

When we speculated.

[CLEARS THROAT]

And you, Sharyl?

Sharyl? Working or... Me? What?

Are you working or...

No, I'm with

the baby for now.

Are you enjoying it?

Mmm.

Love it.

Well, uh, good.
