(CHILDREN CHATTERING,

LAUGHING)

(BEEPING) Damn. I bet

this game is so good too.

I got nothing.

Me neither.

I'm with AT&T. How about you?

I have no idea.

But I will ask this young lady to

use her phone. Mom, slow down.

No, I'm not at home. No,

I'm not watching the news.

Excuse me, miss?

Miss?

Hey, can I, uh, borrow

your phone real quick?

I'm currently on the phone.

Oh, okay. I'll wait.

What's his name?

Could you not...

(SIREN WAILING)

What's his name?

Mom? No, I didn't...

he's cute.

(SIREN CONTINUES)

Would you not...

Come on. He loves it.

One of them, kinda.

I...

Hey. Hey.

Sh*t!

(SCOFFS)

Oh, can I... miss?

All right, well, see ya.

Oh, god.

I'm so allergic to dogs.

Next to the place

where I get my pedicure...

Is this vintage store

that opened up.

I know you guys think I have the worst

fashion sense ever, but I did find...

- I like vintage.

- I found this really awesome bag.

Except for the mothballs. I think

you'd... I think you'd really like it.

- You usually get the bags that I buy.

- An evening bag or a bag bag?

A bag bag. Do you want to

come upstairs and see it?

Yeah.

(SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE)

I'll... I'll just be right back.

(SIRENS CONTINUES)

(DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE)

( ROCK)

Mmm! Good carrots.

You want to see

my glockenspiel?

Oh, you're, uh, referring to

the musical instrument? Yes.

(CHUCKLES) What else

would I be referring to?

No, I don't...

uh, 'cause... yeah.

Tracy had mentioned that, uh, you

and Buck, uh, perform. Oh, yeah.

We perform all right.

If you behave yourself at brunch

today, maybe we'll let you tap it.

(CHUCKLES)

Do you bump?

(TYPING)

Hmm? Excuse me?

Bump. It's an App.

Oh, yeah. Oh, the thing with

the... the information sharing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You want to try it?

Yeah. I'm not sure what,

uh... how that works.

Uh...

This one?

Okay.

Okay.

Uh, all right. I don't think

you have to actually hit it.

Hmm. I'm not getting

any signal at all.

No connection. Awkward.

All right... ohh! Ohh!

(CLATTERS ON FLOOR)

I said you don't have to...

(LAUGHS)

What is goin' on here?

Are you guys bumping?

We were bumping.

Glennzo, are you bumping my wife

behind my back? What's going on here?

Their screens aren't even protected.

That is gross. Oh, Glenn.

Ooh, is that humus? Yes. Vegan, yes.

Uh, where's Hedy and Tracy?

They are upstairs in the bedroom

eating each other out.

(LAUGHS)

You ever seen Black Swan, Glenn?

(GIGGLES)

I told you it's so big. It's super big.

But there's so many flaps.

- The flaps just get in the way.

- I know what you mean.

(LAUGHING)

- You're like...

Did I say something funny?

Why? What happened?

Uh... uh, Lexi
