Okay, I'm going to give

you this pie now, Dr. Pomatter.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you very much.

Look at that.

You know what? Just push-push

all of those off onto the floor.

Go ahead, push them off.

That's fine. Just...

I'll get to those later.

Well, un-congratulations...

you're definitely having a baby.

Un-thank you.

So for the next eight months,

if you need me, I'm here.

If you have any questions,

just give a call.

We'll be doing some tests.

All of which I'll tell you

about before they happen.

And I'm going to give you

a prescription for,

uh, prenatal vitamins.

And do you have any,

uh, questions for me?

What kind of questions?

I don't know.

Concerns about your pregnancy?

Do's and don'ts?

Anything you're wondering about?

Exercise, sex...

I don't really do much

of either of those things, so...

Okay, any diet concerns?

Not really. I mean,

just eat healthy, right?

Eat healthy, um, avoid certain

cheeses, certain fish...

The receptionist, she can

give you a list of good and bad

foods for your pregnancy,

general do's and don'ts.

Okay.

And here is your prescription.

I'll just... sorry.

And, uh, it was very nice

to meet you, Jenna.

And I'll want to see you again

- in about three weeks.

- Okay.

Okay.

I do have one question.

Shoot.

How pregnant am I, exactly?

Very pregnant.

There's really only one degree

of pregnancy, so to speak.

No, I mean, uh, how far along am I?

Uh, about six weeks,

give or take.

Yeah, that was Earl getting me

drunk that night, all right.

You're late.

By six minutes. I'm sorry.

The bus was late.

Why doesn't your damn husband

buy you a car already?

'Cause he don't want

me goin' nowhere.

And you, late again.

You are inches away

from being fired, missy.

Oh, just try firing me,

you old bucket of cheese.

Who you calling a bucket

of cheese, you heifer?

Now get to work before

I fire your ass.

Calm down, you psychotic ape.

Hey, what are you doing?

Close the door!

How's the doc?

Fine, it was fine.

New doctor, a man.

A man, wow.

Is he single?

Maybe he's good for Dawn.

No, I think he was wearing a ring.

Weird guy, nervous.

From Connecticut.

Hey, honey, could you do me a favor?

What?

Old Joe just came in

and sat in my station.

Could you take him?

I can't deal with him today.

You're better with him than I am.

Yeah, sure, I'll take him.

Thanks, hon, you're a trooper.

Oh.

What? What's wrong?

You okay? You going to be sick?

I'm okay.

Just nauseous for a second.

Hurry up, let's get to work!
