That's your answer.

Well maybe you know what maybe

cool,

maybe cool isn't cool enough.

Aren't I supposed to

be the one that's like

where is this going?

Yeah well maybe it should be

you.

Arlo this conversation's

giving me a headache.

Alright I'll put it another

way.

How do you hear it when

you say it in your head?

I blank Arlo.

Fill in the blank.

This is such a waste of break

time.

We could be having sex

in the very big backseat

of your car.

I'm waiting.

Why don't you come back

to my place at midnight?

I'll be there five

minutes after midnight.

I gave her one of the

biggest pads I could find.

I feel so bad.

It was like a freak

horrorshow this morning.

Ah!

- Really?

- Mm hmm.

Oh.

I love you!

Did Bird tell you that I

sort of kind of slapped her?

Yes.

My mom slapped me once and

I never forgave her for that.

Well now you know.

Did you make the phone

calls for tomorrow?

Celeste made the phone calls.

Just a reminder, tomorrow's

about Bird, not about you.

Duh.

But it's gonna be awesome.

She's gonna have such a good

time.

Yay.

Now listen.

I'm only coming in with my

treats

if you tell me you love me.

It's raining outside.

Do you love me or not?

- Come on.

- No.

Come on.

No, I'm putting my foot down.

Come on.

[Arlo] Oh wait, do you love

me?

You do, don't you?

You know I think I may

actually.

What's that?

- Really?

- Mm hmm.

Doesn't count.

Why not?

- Why not?

- Mm hmm?

Well first of all you're

stoned

and secondly you just had a

very high dose of vitamin C

and lastly I am playing

bongos on your butt.

(laughing)

But that's okay, that's alright.

I'll wait for the real thing.

(drumming)

This bother you?

[Jenny] Hey keep going.

(drumming)

Why won't you tell me?

Shut up, you're gonna love it.

Robin, welcome.

It's Bird now.

Bird?

(holistic music)

Women, virgins, mothers, crones.

May we all welcome the beautiful

Bird

who is having her very first

period.

(cheering and clapping)

(singing)

[Jenny] It's really sticky.

This is really exciting

moment in your life.

It's like having a telephone

right into your body.

(laughing)

You don't remember the story?

What?

I told you on our second date.

So anyway...

So my friends would come

over and we'd look at it

and we'd laugh and then

when the stuff actually

started happening to us we

didn't laugh so much anymore.

Yeah.

(laughing)

Earth.

Air.

Fire.

Water.

We resonate with your tides.

(tambourine shaking)

Oh Mother Moon, bless young

Bird as she flies away.

Descending to the world of

nonbeing.

Jennifer, mother of this child.

What do you say on this, her

passing?

I can't believe I'm this old.
