Doing my best.

It'll be 10 months Tuesday.

That's great!

Allright. Now, get off me.

Nobody has died.

I'm "the good news", you know that?

Okay, guys, it's time.

Bye, sweetheart!

- Bye!

- Bye!

- I love you so much.

- Thank you, aunt.

Take me somewhere.

Very French style yourself.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Do not even know what to

make for breakfast.

I do not know what you're making for me you breakfast!

What?

What "what"?

What?

Just... glad you're here.

Yeah?

Yeah.

- Bad baby.

- No, I am not a bad baby!

No? You're not evil baby? No?

You seem like the baddest little

baby in the whole world.

I'm not a bad baby,

I'm mad at you.

Are you mad my baby?

Yes, I'm mad at you.

I love you, baby.

Can't we just drop this baby thing?

And kiss me that's just not good together.

Okay.

Wait.

What?

I just keep making breakfast

and you continue to require

how to become everything.

I did not mean to...

Sorry.

Howdy.

Hi!

Where are you going?

To the grocery store.

Big breakfast?

Big breakfast, early start.

You mean we both

early in the grocery store.

No, no, I just woke up.

Sure you did...

What is that supposed to mean?

Jumpy, jumpy lady.

Who needs a rickshaw at 5 am, a**hole?

I go to the lake shortly before the day starts.

And then I go straight to work.

It doesn't make sense ...

I just do not like going home in between.

- You go to the lake?

- Yes.

What? To think things over?

Yes.

- This is so gay.

- Gay?

You gaylord.

What are you? 12 years old in 1982?

Who says "gaylord"?

Who goes to the lake every morning ?

I do.

Gaylords do.

I think you woke up early to abuse me.

You think?

Well. Nice to run into you ...

We should do this again some

time to get a coffee.

- Is it an invitation?

- Pardon?

Is that a "shouldvitiation" or an invitation?

Like, "I should ask him if he wants to

drink coffee sometime ...

But ... I have no intention of actually doing that. "

Significant difference from an invitation.

No, it is not a shouldvitation.

Okay, how about now, then?

Let the gaylord do this for me.

Shut up.

So what are you gonna do with me?

What do you mean?

You got me this time.

What are you gonna do?

I got you this time?

Yesterday you woke up early,

and watched me leave ...

... and did not get me.

And today, you got me.

Now, what are you gonna do with me?

Nothing.

Can't we just...

Talk to each other normally ...

just us, so ...

So that things aren't so, so...

- ... loaded?

- No, I did not say "loaded".

- Well.

- I never said "loaded".

Got you.

Can I show you something?

It is a bit of stalkerish and everything ..

But ... you're the one who woke up at 5.30;

to follow me, so ...

Oh. That's ...
