we could get pregnant if we tried.

There's no way

we're gonna have another baby.

You can't just decide that.

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

Another hang-up?

Why do you look different?

Oh, I shaved my thing.

-My beard.

-Oh, my God.

Yeah, like three weeks ago.

Wow, you shaved your beard

three weeks ago?

God, I'm so sorry.

-For what?

-Well, for not noticing.

It's okay. I don't care.

-Well, it looks good.

-Thanks.

So Franny, who I met through Jane,

my friend Jane, she designs clothing.

She's real-- They're all kind of weird.

What do you--?

What do you keep looking at?

I think that the girl

sitting behind you...

...is someone I went

to junior high with.

Don't, don't, don't--

Hey, hey, hey.

Please don't stare. No.

-Why not?

-How do I look?

Compared to what? We just met.

Oh, yeah.

So are you--? So you're from here?

Yes, I grew up in the Valley.

I'm sorry. It's so weird.

She hasn't changed a bit.

-Really?

-Yeah.

Well, why don't you go say hi to her?

Are you kidding me?

That girl ruined my life.

What, really? What did she do?

Well, we made out once

in her father's basement.

And I was in love with her,

you know?

And we-- She was my girlfriend

for, like, two hours.

And then she dumped me.

Yeah, exactly.

I'm sorry.

It's wild for me to see her here.

So do you work out?

No, not really.

"We all went on safari...

...near the Serengeti gate.

-Looks like your dad's home.

-We startled wary-- Wart hogs--"

-You want to do some work?

-I'm reading with Max.

We gotta work.

Okay. We'll read more later,

okay, babe?

-Maria?

-Sorry, Mama's gotta work.

-When are we gonna get our tree?

-We got a whole month.

But when are we gonna get it?

Well, we'll get it before Christmas.

I promise you, buddy, all right?

-Okay?

-Whatever.

Hey, hey. Wait, wait.

No, no, no, I'm paying.

I'm so sorry.

We had so much to catch up.

Don't let her pay. I'm paying.

I am a shithead!

-It is hard enough having a blind date.

-I know. You're absolutely right.

Hey, so can we go out again?

Please?

I went ape sh*t back there

because that's a girl...

...who humiliated me in high school.

Didn't anyone ever just, you know,

wreck your life...

...and then you see them as an adult?

It's intense.

Are you stupid?

-Kind of.

-What do you do again?

Oh, right, right,

you're Franny's trainer.

What do you do? Franny said

that you used to be a teacher.

I'm a maid.

Yeah, right.

-I can't be a maid?

-No, you can't.

-Not really.

-That's funny.

-You're really a maid?

-Yeah.

In fact, I have a job right now,

so I gotta go.

Can I come watch?

Your sister called.

-What kind of fish should we get?

-Your father's had a stroke.
