Friends with Kids Page #2

Synopsis: Julie and Jason have been best friends for years with no romantic interest in each other. He sleeps with someone new every few days, and she's looking for Mr. Right. Now in their thirties, they notice that their friends seem to lose all their good qualities when they have children - child rearing and the spark of Eros don't seem to co-exist. So, they decide to have a child together, share in child rearing, but pursue their own romantic lives. Things go well until he meets Mary Jane and she meets Kurt. Both seem like perfect mates. What could go wrong?

Hold on one sec, sorry.

Thanks, Steph. Thank you.

- Did you say 1,400 something?

- Yes, ma'am.

I'm gonna get back to you

after I make some tough decisions, thanks.

Hi.

Are you looking at what I'm looking at?

Check your inbox.

Okay. Hold please.

Oh, my God.

Wow, that is bold!

Yeah, really.

Really. I was eating lunch.

Is that corn?

But now my appetite's back, thank you.

Sorry. Hey, what do you want

for your birthday, anyway?

A great girl with big tits, long legs,

who isn't crazy, or neurotic, or religious.

What that I can get in the next three hours?

- Nespresso machine.

- Done.

I'm sorry, I couldn't get them

to a restaurant. I really tried.

No, whatever. It's the baby card.

They all play it.

But it's not just the baby card,

it's the baby card and Brooklyn.

So it's like...

- It's like two cards.

- It's two cards.

- I hate Brooklyn.

- Brooklyn is the new Manhattan.

Manhattan is the new Manhattan.

- Nice.

- I read it.

Well, at least Ben and Missy will be there.

That's big.

Haven't seen them since the hospital.

No, can't be that long.

- Weren't they at that thing at the...

- Nope.

Thank you.

Slow painful death by disease,

or watching the love of your life

die a slow painful death by disease?

A. Definitely A.

Much worse to be without the person

you love than to have a slow painful death.

But I wouldn't make mine slow and painful,

I'd get out early.

- How?

- Up the morphine drip. You?

Oh, B. I'm living!

You would rather watch the love of your life

die slowly and painfully?

Well, it wouldn't be awesome

but better them than me.

I got a lot of good years left.

Are we late enough? Should we circle?

Thirty-five minutes?

I think we're late enough.

- Hey!

- Happy Birthday.

We're not quite there yet.

Cole, honey, can you just...

Please, for a moment!

Alex, can you come out here

for a second, please?

I'm in the bathroom!

Really? Well, Jule and Jase are here,

so why don't you come out!

- Hey, guys.

- Hey, Alex.

You know what,

can you guys watch him for a second?

- Yeah, of course.

- We brought some wine, if you...

Hey, Cole.

- I'm gonna open one of these.

- Do that.

Hey, Cole. What's up, buddy?

Hey, Cole, you know what?

We brought you something.

Oh, my goodness, you're huge!

And I like you tremendously!

I missed you so much.

Oh, my goodness! How you doing?

Hey!

- Hey, guys.

- Hey.

- How you doing?

- How's it going, man?

- Happy birthday, little fella.

- Thanks, haven't seen you in a while.

Alex!

I could use a little help,

what do you think, huh?

- Maybe pick up a little bit?

- I was in the bathroom.

Yeah, we know. Do you have to make it
