I wouldn't rock the boat either.

You're a homo. Fine, whatever.|Like I give a sh*t.

Nine-- ten at the most-- years older.

He could be your father.

Basically, you're blowing your father.|That can't feel right.

I never knew my father.

And you really think this is a good|way to make up for it?

Matt struggled for a while, which I|thought showed a lot of loyalty to Bill.

But I got him over that. And by|the end of the month...

he was calling in sick to Kinko's|so often, they almost fired him.

I almost felt bad about it.|But I had my reasons.

I know AIDS is like awful and|stuff...

and that guy who got all those|boys up to his room...

and ate them and froze them and|then got killed in prison...

Like we cared.|I mean, all that is disgusting.

But they do look better than|straight people. And smell better.

They're cleaner, if you don't|count viruses.

And there's not all that hair in|their ears and noses and stuff.

So it evens out.

Anyway, Matt wasn't totally faggy.

He knew what to do with it, believe|me.

I've got bad news.

What?

I'm late.

Okay, I'll drive you.

No, I mean, I'm late.

My period's late.

Do you know what that means?

I'm pregnant. We're pregnant.

You're kidding. We were using|condoms.

Are you sure?

Is it mine?

See? Only straight boys ever say|that line. You're in.

No, I mean, don't get my hopes up if|you're not sure.

We were gonna break it to him in|stages.

One, we're in love. Two...surprise.

We had just gotten to number one|when Lucia dropped by. Typical.

I knew you were trouble. This is|your brother here.

And you, how could you?

It just happened. We didn't mean to|hurt anyone.

You're gay, you jerk!

- He just never met the right woman.|- Yeah, one with a dick.

Is that a cut?

For your information, I'm bisexual.

I went to a bar mitzvah once,|that doesn't make me Jewish.

Who says that bisexual sh*t besides|gay men?

I'd understand if we can't go on|living here.

You would get that, congratulations.

It's just that...with the baby and|all, it would be easier.

You're pregnant?

It was gonna be a surprise.

- Do you wanna get an abortion?|- No...god...

Bill, if we could just stay here until|we get married and the baby comes...

Who said anything about getting|married?

You don't wanna get married?

I just don't think it's something we|should rush into.

No, but bring another human life|onto the planet, that's whim time.

Am I the only one here who wants|to kill someone?

- You wish.|- I'll talk to you all tomorrow.

I'm beat.

Smoking is bad for the baby.

Like you care. Or was it someone|else who mentioned abortion?

You're breaking his heart.

I think I'm a little late for that.

Where are you going? Matt?
