Don't you think you're going
too fast?
Sweetheart,
If you didn't want to come,
you should have said.
I wanted to come.
You don't like going to
children's birthday parties.
- I like it.
- I know you find it painful.
It's not painful.
Watch it!
Some people should not be allowed
to have children.
Tell me another story.
What is that?
It's this talking computer-chip toy
I bought for Carrie.
It was probably activated
when we stopped.
- What a great present.
- Yeah? Watch. Kids hate what I buy.
Either she has 12 of them,
or only babies play with it...
...or it gives her nightmares. Watch.
Judy. Judy.
- Hi.
- Hi.
It's great to see you.
Hi. I'm Michael. Remember?

- We met at the house one time.
- The house worked out perfectly.
- Oh, great.
Hi, Ruth.
Linda! Linda! Lin!
- Polly.
- Hi.
Oh, God! I'm so happy you're here.

- No.
I mean, I remember
my 6th birthday party.
of my friends.
We each got a little Dixie cup
and a basket of M&M's.
- I thought you weren't gonna come.
- Changed my mind.
I'm glad.
Hey, Eli, don't chase Jason!
- So, what's new, Lin?
- Nothing.
No? What about with Nathanson?
I spend two weeks
whacked out on fertility drugs...
...two weeks depressed it didn't work.
Where's my lunch?
Who wants to be my lunch?
Please! I wanna be your lunch!
It's great you guys got married.
You gave her a really pretty ring.
This is a gorgeous ring.
You and Lewis kiss.
Two points.
High five!
I felt fine for the first two trimesters.
I played tennis three times a week.
Doubles, but a good game.
Then I started having contractions.
They kept me in bed until I delivered.
I thought I'd lose my mind.
But it was worth it.
Oh, I'd say so.
- Watch. Kristin, how old are you?
- Two.
- And what city do we live in?
- Seattle.
- Who's the father of cubism?
- Picasso.
John taught her that.
- Who?
- Picasso.
Yeah.
- Are you all right?
- Yeah. I'm okay.
- Eli, come here!
- No!
- Eli!
- No!
- You sure you're okay?
- I'm fine.
- Why are you bringing him back?
- No!
You hit her! And you apologize
to Linda. You hit her in the head.
I'm sorry. It was an accident.
- Yes, well, accidents...
- What is it? Why are you yelling?
- He smashed Linda with a baseball.
- Eli, what are you doing?
- You're turning him into a brat.
- Why am I turning him into a brat?
That's what I'd like to know.
You guys, I'm fine. Okay?
Please don't make a big production.
You knew I was going
- You were going to watch the kid.
- Okay, fine.
I'm fine. Honestly, I'm fine.
Don't give me that.
I work all week.
Picasso. Picasso.
Picasso. Picasso. Picasso.
This one's from your brother Paul.
Look. It's an ostrich.
- That's great.
- Thank you.
And this one is from
Linda and Michael.
Happy birthday, Carrie.
Oh, look. It's a Talking Teddy.
- I have this toy.
- It's okay. You can exchange it.
This one is a better one.
- Come on, say thank you.
I have this toy already.
That still hurt?
- Where?
- It's right here.
There?
- Better?
- It's a little better.
It's the middle of the month.
I have to go to the doctor tomorrow.
F***.
We're not supposed to.
Remember when we used
to make love to try to get pregnant?
At least now when we do it,
it's for fun.
We make love for fun,
and we make babies in a jar.
I hope.
- Good night, sweetheart.
- Night.
Ellen, leave!
Ellen, get out of here!
Scat! Get!

- Fine, Jeff.
Mrs. Spector, come in, please.
- Good morning, Dr. Nathanson.

Get your programs!
Only $2.00.
- You see? Perhaps you...
- If you're lonely, he's very lonely.
I used to play football.
Did you know that?
Group tackling.
Would group tackling work for you?
No, really, I would like to be tackled.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Linda Spector.
- Mary Ann Taylor.
- This is my client, Debbie Browning.
- Debbie, come in. It's so wet today.
- This just came on the market?
- Yes. It's a wonderful family home.
They've raised six children here.
You have children?
Four. The eldest goes
to college this year.
You look like a college girl yourself.
I want to show you this little girl's
room. It is precious.
Wait till you see it.
You won't believe it.
I would have killed for this as a girl.
Isn't it sweet?
What is great is that the children
There are three more bedrooms
with adjoining baths...
...and the children have plenty
of storage for toys and clothing.
It would make a charming sitting
room. This is the master bedroom.
Double size, with that same view
you have from the living room.
Underneath the carpet
is good hardwood.
You have the option
of taking up the wall-to-wall...
...and buying one of those
Swedish accent rugs.
I'll be right back.
I have to use the powder room.
When she comes back,
I will show you the powder room.
But let me show you this
wonderful walk-in closet...
Come on, stop it!
That's a good dog.
- Hello?
- Polly?
- Hi.
- What are you doing?
Well, as a matter of fact...
...I have to run and pick up Eli
Can I call you back?
- Yeah, sure. I'm home all night.
- Okay, great. Is something wrong?
No, nothing. I had a lousy day.
