Yeah.

[Sean] A joke about something you like. What’s in the fridge?

Broccoli? Broccoli is in the fridge.

Broccoli’s favorite music. You know what it is?

You know what broccoli’s favorite music is?

– What is it?

Brock and roll.

– [laughing] No, it’s not.

Yes, it f***ing is.

– That doesn’t go with broccoli at all.

Where does broccoli go get a drink?

– Where?

At the salad bar.

Come on, G. Come on!

[Martha] You’re so pathetic.

[Sean] Aw, wow.

– [Martha] What’s that?

Okay, okay, okay.

[Martha] Is that my water?

– Oh, my God.

It’s okay.

[Martha] What does that mean?

Where is she?

– Here we go.

[Martha] Sh*t.

Let’s get you out.

– Are these wet too?

[Martha] No, that’s fine.

– [Sean] Okay.

[Martha] Can you call her again?

Because this is…

[Sean] I will.

This is actually hurting now. Oh, God.

Whoo!

Whoa! [chuckles]

Whoo…

[groans]

Oh, God. F***.

Don’t look at me like that.

[Sean] Why don’t you come over here?

– Come here, baby.

Oh, God.

[Sean] Come here.

[Martha] Not on that ball.

You don’t wanna sit on the ball? That’s what they gave it to us for.

– Why don’t you do the stretch thing?

Screw the stretch thing.

– Careful.

F***. I don’t really wanna do this.

[belches] Why do I feel so sick?

Wanna do it this way?

[exhales]

– What is the move?

Hmm?

[laughs]

Oh, God. Sorry. [belches]

[panting]

This feels weird.

I need to… Ugh, I feel so nauseous.

– Can you rub my back?

Mm-hmm.

– [Martha] Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, sh*t.

[groans]

I might throw up.

[Sean] You didn’t eat enough. What are you gonna throw up?

[belches] I don’t know. Sorry.

– You look very handsome.

[Sean] Thank you.

[chuckles] You also look super scared.

[Sean] I’m not.

– Really?

[Sean] Really.

– You freaking out?

[Sean] Not at all.

Your eyes look super, like

anxious.

– I’m not.

Give me a kiss, then.

You want kisses?

– [doorbell rings]

Not too much.

That’s her.

Look how quick that was. Look how fast that happened.

– Hey.

Hi.

We’re six minutes between contractions and her water just broke.

Oh, wow.

[Martha groaning]

– [Eva] That’s great. How you doing?

[Sean] I’m doing all right. How are you?

– [Eva] Good. Yeah. You talk to Barbara?

[Sean] Yes.

– [Eva] Okay, great. How are you doing?

[Sean] I’m good.

[groaning and belching]

– [Sean] You want some water?

No, I’m good.

– Is Barbara here? Is she coming?

[Sean] You want water?

– Hi. Hi, Martha.

Hi. [belches] Hi.

Sorry, I just feel super sick. Can you get me some water?

– [Sean] Okay.

Thanks. I need it.

How’s it going?

It’s fine. It’s just the last two have been really intense.

Mm-hmm.

– [Martha] I know…

Closer together.

[Martha] They are. Super nauseous.
