I suppose.

This house is haunted.

How so?

Last night in my room,

I just felt I wasn't alone.

Well, are you sure

your iPad was turned off?

Knew I could

count on you, Mom.

You know, the house

is over a hundred years old.

Squeaks and drafts,

kind of comes

with the territory.

I'm sure there's nothing

to worry about.

And, you know,

spirits and ghosts...

you know all that's BS, right?

Don't tell me a house like this

doesn't have at least one ghost.

Well, when we bought the house,

the ghost box wasn't checked.

What if this

is a new ghost?

How can a ghost be new?

Like you're an expert

at anything.

Lucy!

[scoffs]

[clock ticking]

[sighs]

[TV turns on]

Dennis?

Dennis?

Dennis?

Luce?

[turns TV off]

[woman, on TV] ...heard us say that

we needed to get back on the wagon.

They put us back

on the wagon.

I was like, "What is going on

here, Adam?"

And he's like, "Well, this isn't

a beginner workout.

You're essentially

a beginner right now."

[woman, on TV]

...other documents,

it's time to clean house

in "Smart Woman:

What to Keep, What to Toss."

Someone in our community

will win a few furn...

[sighs]

[dog barks]

Oh!

Oh! Oskar!

Oh, sweetheart.

You poor baby.

I'm sorry, buddy.

There you go, buddy.

Oh, good boy.

I'm so sorry.

[knock on door]

[Dennis]

Honey, will you get that?

[Lucy]

Yeah.

[mother]

Who is that?

[Dennis]

Probably Jack.

Wow, look at you.

You are growing up.

What grade are you in now?

- Eighth.

- Eighth grade.

Well, that is a great grade

to be in.

Mm-hmm.

Ah. Hey, Dennis.

Will you take a look

at little missy here, huh?

- Yeah, that's my daughter.

- Mm-hmm.

- Let's go into my study.

- All right.

I was just telling your little

girl how she's all grown up,

right before

our very eyes.

You must be

a very proud papa.

- Scotch?

- Uh, no.

No, I'm on the wagon

for the moment.

Can I have a glass of milk,

please?

And I'll have

a sauvignon blanc.

Oh, wait.

I'm sorry,

um, can I get a...

Can I get a sparkling water

with lime instead?

Thank you.

Don't tell me.

Not another diet.

No, just being careful.

No way.

You're not going to tell me...

What?

Women don't drink

when they're...

Gross! You did it with Dad?

Lucy!

Come on.

How else do you think

that would that work?

Seriously, how?

We'll talk about it later.

No. I took biology.

You get pregnant, which means

you're going to have a baby.

Well, not necessarily.

I mean, for the time being,

at least,

women can still kind of

make up their mind

about that kind of thing.

Oh.

Did you have to make the same

decision before you had me?

No, honey.

No, of course not.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks a lot.
