You're no fun.

- Ugh!

- Ugh!

Ugh!

Please don't tell me

you're smoking in my bed.

Listen honey, you were never

good at this,

any of it Jennifer.

Every transition she's ever

made.

You didn't even like it when

she started to get teeth.

That's not true.

I loved her tiny teeth, they

were like little pearls.

Yeah but you complained

about it for two years.

I am not good at this.

I wanna be good at it.

But I mean when I went on

the rag you totally sucked!

Well life is suffering.

For you.

So how is live on the 'shram?

What can I say?

I'm, you know, I'm

living my fondest dream.

I may never come back.

Don't get any ideas.

So there actually is some bad

news.

Hit me.

The pants that Baby was

wearing today,

they were your white ones.

That's fine, that's fine.

It's just an object.

What?

You just jumped down my

ass for smoking in bed?

That's just an object.

That's because I don't

want to see you immolate

yourself and my granddaughter

in a blaze of selfish idiocy!

Come on.

Same time next week?

Love you both.

Love you Mommy.

(screaming)

There's blood, there's blood

everywhere.

What the hell?

What did you do?

What do you mean what did I

do?

There's blood everywhere,

Mom, I'm bleeding!

Did you wear a pad, did

you wear one of the big ones,

did you do it right?

Yes I did it right!

I put on the pads that Lilli

showed me,

I did it exactly how she told me

to.

God baby girl at night

with gravity and sh*t

you have to wear one of the big

ones.

They were right next to the

wimpy ones, didn't you see?

I thought it would be enough,

okay?

So now I'm just someone who

bleeds,

for the rest of my life I'm

gonna bleed.

Just gush out of me, just

bleeding,

this is gonna be all the

time I'm just gonna bleed.

Okay.

Wow.

Wow.

I'm bleeding.

I'm never gonna stop bleeding.

(coughing)

It's never gonna end.

Okay.

Let's do this.

Baby Bird, go take a shower.

(upbeat music)

I'm not leaving the

house while I'm bleeding.

What if I bleed all over

everything?

What if I'm just going

to walk down the street

and then suddenly blood

starts gushing out of me?

[Jenny] You are not gonna

gush.

This is a moment.

This is a moment and I

wanna take you to pancakes

so can we go now?

I don't want pancakes!

Or a bubble bath, okay?

Or ice cream, because

that's what would make

you feel better.

[Jenny] Hormonal much?

[Bird] And will you stop

smoking pot all the time?

What?

Look.

If you don't like pancakes

anymore, that is...

Well you know what, I

Christ on a sh*t-sucking,

butt filled cracker don't

wanna have pancakes with you.

Okay Baby Bird, I

will give you that one.

[Bird] Don't call me that
