Obvious Child Page #2

Come on up here.

- You know I'd take a bullet for you, right?

- I know.

- Right into my heart.

- I know.

- Nellie, you're so sweet and nice and pretty.

- Okay.

You gonna be okay?

Do you want me to sleep in here with you?

I can't do that to you, because

I'm about to turn this bed into a fart pod.

Okay.

That sounds too cozy for me.

- All right, I love you.

- I love you.

- Donna.

- Sh*t, Gene.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to scare you.

No, I'm sorry.

I haven't been sleeping very well.

Listen, Donna,

there's something that

I need to talk to you about.

No, no, no. I already called the plumber.

We're just...

We're all gonna have

to use the bathroom on Sixth

- for, like, a few days.

- It's not that. It's...

Well, there's no easy way to spit this out.

The landlord's kicking us out.

We have six weeks.

What?

They're closing the store.

That's crazy! That's disgusting!

This place is like a New York institution!

You've been here five years.

I've been here for 30.

Sometimes we just have to let go

of the things we love.

That's really easy for you to say,

'cause you're gonna move to Woodstock,

and, like, buy a bunch of wick and candles

and just, like, chill out all day.

Hey, that sounds pretty nice.

I think I will do that.

Listen, change is good, Donna.

Man, that's, like, the rudest thing

you've ever said to me.

You know, that Ryan,

he was not a gentleman.

Okay. Well, I'm gonna call him right now,

and I'm gonna tell him that you said that.

You're not gonna waste

one valuable moment

of your young precious life

mourning that boy.

I'm a mess.

I can't even be in public

without bursting into tears.

And I think I've cried on every train line.

Oh, baby.

You know, when your mom and I split up,

I thought my life was over.

You know what saved me?

A long walk with your Uncle Jim.

We walked, we talked,

and we talked about life, and spirituality,

and identity and racism.

And by the time the sun came up,

- we had the premise for our first TV show.

- "We had the premise for our first TV show."

We did.

- That smells good.

- Pasghetti.

- Your favorite sauce, extra honey.

- Extra honey.

I can eat this.

You know, creative energy sometimes

comes from the lowest point in your life.

But, Dad, you had a partner

to do all of that with.

I'm just up there alone by myself

just beating myself up.

Well, negativity will either be

your best friend or your worst enemy.

How do you want to approach your fears?

Tylenol PM.

No. Living.

Living is the best revenge.

So eat up, and then when we're finished,

you're gonna go visit your mom.

She's worried about you.

You guys need to know
