a minute we were gonna have

another kid, and then we-- or it

was gonna be an office for

me, or--

-I like this color.

This room would look really

good in this color.

Do you ice skate?

-Oh, these?

Well, you know.

For a hot New York minute.

Got my--

My skate on.

-My mom always told me that I

should surround myself with

good people if I want good

things to happen.

I'm 55 days sober, so good

people are really important.

-Oh my god.

McKenna, that's amazing.

Congratulations.

Wow.

-My mom's a witch.

The Wiccan kind of

witch, you know?

Sometimes I think I

might be one too.

Is that my bathroom?

D-d--

Do you need clean towels?

We have company.

-Go, go, go, go, go.

I'm listening.

-We have company.

-Who's here?

-Have you ever heard of the

Espresso Yourself truck?

-The coffee they make, Jeff,

is like you cannot believe.

You know when people just

make one thing right?

It's great.

-It's obsession worthy.

-OK.

-So, I started--

I started to follow the

truck on Twitter.

-I thought you hated Twitter.

-I don't hate Twitter, Jeff.

I'm not--

I lurk on Twitter.

-You're a lurker.

-Just not a Tweeter.

So, a few weeks ago, the truck

was parked right across the

street from Sam's.

Wait, let me get you--

Let me get you some--

-Sam who?

-Uh, Hofbrau.

Sam's Hofbrau.

That was the strip bar, or like,

you know, topless place

or whatever that we went to.

Oh, you need cutlery.

Anyway--

who would've thunk it--

ran into McKenna.

-I don't know who McKenna is.

-Oh, she, um--

She's the dancer that--

She's the dancer that gave me

that private thingy when we

were there.

-You mean the stripper?

-OK, sure.

The stripper, is in

the maid's room.

-The stripper's in

the maid's room.

-Yeah.

-How did the stripper get

in the maid's room?

-I put her there.

So, I kept going back to the

Espresso Yourself truck, and

every time I would go there, I

kept running into McKenna.

So we just started talking.

Anyway, she was, like, between

apartments, her car was

getting towed.

She had nowhere to stay tonight,

and you know all the

work that I do for the homeless

at the J, and, you

know, I thought, here's--

OK, Here's actual homelessness

right in front of me.

-So you invited her to

stay here in our

house with our child?

-Just for like a-- two nights.

Like, one night maybe.

You won't even notice

she's here, Jeff.

JEFF (OFFSCREEN): (WHISPERING)

I don't wanna

meet her right now.

I think we should just--

-Shut up.

Just a few days.

OK, we gotta keep quiet.

I love you.

-Morning.

-Uh, hey.

Hey.

-I remember you.

You guys were, like, the

cutest couple ever.

-Oh, thank you.

We work at it.
