Friends with Kids Page #3

Synopsis: Julie and Jason have been best friends for years with no romantic interest in each other. He sleeps with someone new every few days, and she's looking for Mr. Right. Now in their thirties, they notice that their friends seem to lose all their good qualities when they have children - child rearing and the spark of Eros don't seem to co-exist. So, they decide to have a child together, share in child rearing, but pursue their own romantic lives. Things go well until he meets Mary Jane and she meets Kurt. Both seem like perfect mates. What could go wrong?

when we're having guests over? Jesus!

- I was reading an article...

- Maybe you could shut the door.

It's f***ing toxic in here.

I was airing it out!

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry!

- Oh, sweetie, no. Please.

- I got it, it's fine.

Hon, did we get Jase a gift?

Jase, we forgot.

We're gonna get it this weekend, sorry!

- Oh, sh*t, we're gonna get something.

- It's fine.

- That's Ben and Miss.

- Yeah, we haven't seen them.

Ben and Missy are here.

- You look good.

- Thanks, you, too.

- I mean, you're... Did you...

- I lost weight.

- It's f***ing sweet of you to even notice.

- You did. You look good.

- Really?

- Alex!

Could you get the f***ing door?

What are you, deaf?

Did the... Did the bell ring?

Are you f***ing kidding me today?

You want me to get it?

I'll get it, I'm doing everything else.

- I might have to murder him.

- Do you want me to put the sauce on?

- Hey, man.

- Hey! Oh...

Yep. All day.

I apologize for the 50 times

he rang the doorbell.

- Hey.

- Hey, how we doing?

- Hey, Troy.

- Hello.

- Hey. Hi, guys.

- Hi.

- Happy birthday.

- Thanks.

Happy birthday.

I'm sorry. I feel like an a**hole,

apparently I forgot to pick up your gift.

Which was already wrapped and paid for

and two blocks from his office...

- I'll get it to you tomorrow.

...still couldn't find the time to pick it up.

It's a tie. You can return it.

It's okay, but thanks.

Wait, so who was this guy again?

Oh, my God,

he was a set-up through my boss.

I got there, he was 61.

I'm sorry, excuse me.

Can I put him in with Katie? Do you mind?

Oh, yeah, the monitor's right there.

Go ahead.

He's fine.

- My God, he's fine. He'll be fine.

- I'll put him in there. He'll fall asleep.

He's hungry.

That's his hungry cry. Just go feed him.

Why don't you feed him?

I brought the bottle,

why don't you feed him for once?

Fine, I'll feed him!

It's not like it's that big a deal.

She acts like I raped her to have a kid.

So, Jase, how's work?

Oh, fine.

- We're doing the Bud Super Bowl spots.

- Excuse me.

- Pretty cool.

- That is cool.

And that's my cue.

My turn, clearly...

- You need help, sweetie?

- No, no, I'm all right.

How's Callie?

Oh, we... We broke up.

- No...

- Like, four months ago.

Oh...

- Can we get another?

- Thank you.

- Jesus Christ.

- That was unbelievable.

- Seriously, though...

- God!

We don't know those people.

Those people are mean, and angry, and...

Mean.

- When did that happen?

- I don't know.

I don't know, when they had kids?

- Come on, that doesn't make you mean.

- Maybe it does.

Can we get a couple more?

No, come on, it can't be that.

It can't be just that.
