(SOFTLY):

Yeah.

Well, I should go,

I should get this coffee home

before it gets

as cold and black as my womb.

(MARLO CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

You still got my number?

I have a old number.

Yeah, it's the same one.

I'm still on Bushwick.

You still live at the loft?

Yeah. You should

call me sometime.

- Yeah.

- Okay?

(SCOOTER ENGINE STARTS)

(SCOOTER DEPARTING)

Hey, are you guys excited

to see your cousins?

- Yeah.

- Is the dog gonna be out?

DREW:

Jonah, buddy.

That dog can't hurt you...

he's, like, two pounds.

What is that dog's name again?

Prosecco.

I wanna kill myself.

What?

No, Mommy's joking,

honey, like a clown.

Honk, honk.

(JONAH AND MARLO LAUGH)

(MARLO SIGHS)

DREW:

You all right?

JONAH:

Is that Uncle Craig's new car?

DREW:

Yeah, that's a G-Wagon.

- JONAH:
Can we get one?

- Nope.

MARLO:
You wouldn't want one.

They catch fire all the time.

DREW:

Mommy's joking again.

MARLO:
Yeah, that's why

it's all black like that.

- Probably caught fire already.

- SARAH:
You're lying.

MARLO (HUSHED):

Don't get too close.

(PROSECCO BARKING)

Hey!

- Hey!

- Sarah, I'm gonna steal those boots

right off your feet...

they're so cute.

- DREW:
Hey, Elyse.

- Hey.

Hi, guys.

We made an obstacle course

in the playroom if you want

to come check it out.

This is Shasta, our nanny.

- Hi.

- GIRL:
We've got karaoke.

Yeah. We got a karaoke machine.

- Cool!

- All right.

Shasta's so awesome.

She has a master's degree

in early childhood education.

I feel like she should

be telling me what to do.

(MARLO CHUCKLES)

Marlo, you're glowing.

God, really? 'Cause I feel

like an abandoned trash barge.

Huh?

Oh. In the '80s,

there was this giant boat

filled with garbage

that just...

drifted up and down

the East Coast... for weeks.

They couldn't figure out

where to dump it,

so eventually, they just

docked the boat in Brooklyn,

burned all that trash.

(MELLOW JAZZ PLAYING)

(LAUGHS)

The ninth month is tough.

- I remember I could barely make it to the gym.

- CRAIG:
Yes!

- Let me take this.

- Yes! The Moreaus have arrived.

It's gonna be a great night.

- Drew, how are you, buddy?

- Craig. How's it going?

Great to see you. Marlo.

Yeah, I'm a personal

hug buffer now.

- Well, yeah, just what you've always wanted.

- Yeah.

It's actually kind of true.

ELYSE:

When is your due date again?

- Monday.

- CRAIG:
Jesus, don't have it here.

ELYSE:

She could have it in the ofuro.

We just got

this Japanese soaking tub.

- Craig's boss gave it to us.

- MARLO:
Wow.

My boss once gave me the flu.

So, what are we thinking,

it's a boy or a girl?

- What's happening here?

- ELYSE:
You know, I feel

- like it's definitely a boy.
