can't do anything about it.

Think about right now.

Here you are.

It's great. Look at you.

I know what you're thinking.

I'm not too young to have

a family of my own again.

No. No, you're not.

Yo.

Hey.

This is a nice surprise.

Uh-huh.

A real nice surprise...

Apparently, Franny has

a wedding gift for us.

Keep your eyes closed. Come on.

Why are we here?

You are not gonna have a

baby in north Philly.

What are you talking about?

No, uh-uh.

Why can't we have

a baby in north...

Look. Look at this. Look at this.

Look at this.

Don't you want a baby

that grows up in nature,

grows up with everything

that Poodles had.

Holy sh*t.

Is this your old house?

Not anymore, it isn't.

Did you buy my house?

I bought it for

the three of you.

Welcome home!

Jesus Christ, Franny. Can we

just slow down for a second shh.

Wait, wait, wait, wait wait.

How do you know

she even wants this?

Come on. Give it a minute.

Look around, man.

Still has magic, doesn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah, don't you feel it.

Hey, enjoy it.

Franny... This is beautiful.

It really is.

It's a beautiful house.

But um... We can't

just up and leave.

I signed a lease, so...

Oh, no, it's all right. I talked to

your landlord. He's fine with it.

You talked to my landlord?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I wanted to take a little weight off...

Why didn't you...

Come here, come here.

You talked to... No, of

course I talked to him.

No, I just... I'm just

trying to help you out.

I know that you probably are

buried underneath loans

and crazy stuff... You got

student loans, right?

Yeah, sure... How much?

How... how much? How much?

I don't know.

A couple hundred grand.

I'm kidding. Relax, man.

I mean, you really think

I'm that tacky?

She's standing right there.

That's really f***ed, Lukie.

You are...

- I love surprises.

- Look at her.

Just look at her.

I don't wanna step on your toes, all right?

Believe me about that.

So, you know. All I want is

really what's best for you

and her and for your family.

I know.

You know, it's okay, it's okay.

Look, you wanna know the truth?

All you gotta do is say no.

You say no and that is it.

Because you're the man, Lukie.

You are the man.

Why do you have to make

everything so dramatic?

I'm dramatic?

You think I'm dramatic?

I can't believe you did this.

You know, I was the one

that found this house

when your mother

was pregnant with you.

No, you didn't.

I found the realtor, all right?

Hey, hey, hey, Franny. Can we just

talk about this for a minute?

Yeah, let's go inside and talk.

Just, just stop. Just

me and Livvy, yeah?

Oh, really? Yeah.

Oh, yeah, sorry.

Didn't quite get that.

Yeah, that's fine. Sure.
