- Yes.

Wow, that's amazing.

Well, it was right there on the bed ...

No, I meant the baby.

Oh, I don't have the baby yet

Yeah, you've to go through

a sh*t ton of tests, interviews

And there are a few categories where I'm not

An ideal candidate.

Do you mind me asking why?

- Not at all, I'm not married and I'm 28.

What would they rather have?

- Married and 30.

Are you gonna raise this kid?

That's the idea,

yeah if I ever get one.

So, how long have you

wanted to do that?

Pretty much my whole life.

So it's been a weird obsession.

Sorry I keep asking questions.

No, it's ok,

it's a little weird.

So do you actually deliver it?

The bed?

Oh no, the guys do it.

The delivery guys.

Ok, well,

I guess I'll just come in tomorrow and ...

See what my dad wants.

Yeah sure, you just have to sign here

and you're good.

I'm Brian, by the way.

- I'm Happy.

My name's Harriet,

but everybody calls me Happy.

It's a nice name.

Which one?

- Harriet.

I like it.

- Me too.

Yes, so uh ..

- Sh*t.

I'll talk to you tomorrow?

- I'm late for work.

You going to work now?

Yeah, I'm a hooker.

I thought so.

I work for my sister, sort of.

I gotta go.

- Yes, good luck.

Thanks for letting me sleep here.

Sure.

Anytime, uh ..

Yeah, that's looking good.

Is it?

Hell yeah.

Black hair ain't easy to deal with y'know.

Had a white stepfather had to deal with

my sister's Afro coiffures

She looked like a dog

when he finished with 'em.

White people just don't know how difficult

black hair's to deal with.

Wassup dude not much.

Y'know Kevin.

That's two separate things.

"What's up dude?" is the question.

"Not much" is the answer

to that question.

Listen dudes, I need someone to help me

with that Scona delivery

For that guy with the fag friend

I'm sorry, homosexual.

Where's Plume?

Well he called in sick dude.

He's like ate some bad chicken

Parts and he's like honking his guts out.

Well get on Kumalo.

- No, not today dude. Religion.

I'll do it.

Sweet.

- No, no, no I don't mind.

Ok.

Sweet.

The door!

Yeah?

- Sandman mattress. It's the delivery.

Ok.

- Thanks.

Put some clothes on for God's sake.

Hello?

- Yup.

We're delivering the mattress.

I'm lying on the kitchen floor.

Now that we both know what we're doing,

what's next?

Where can we set this up?

How about the bedroom area?

Right.
