Johnny, look.

It's got all these exercises

you can do during your pregnancy.

It's got like 14 exercises

you can do after you give birth

to flatten your stomach.

Isn't that great?

You making that for them?

Yes. Don't mess. Go sit or something.

I can't! I'm too excited.

- Ashley, sit down!

- What's she like?!

Have you thought of anything? Huh?

'Cause I know if we have a little boy

that we'll name him Johnny,

but I was thinking that if we have

a girl we could name her Jonni too,

but just spell it with an "I".

What do you think?

I think it's stupid.

Well, so are you. You're stupid too.

Johnny, Ashley, Pat, Eugene.

Peg.

Peg. What did I say?

What did I say?

I'll be fine, right?

I'll be fine.

Was that a car door?

I thing they're here.

They're here!

Oh lord!

Damn it. Look at this mess!

Are you coming?

You haven't seen your brother

in 3 years!

Quit it!

I'd think you'd want to know what's

going on with him and welcome him.

Oh, for heaven's sake.

Come on Eugene, George is here.

George is here.

You're here! You're here!

You're here right where we live!

Hi! Hello!

Hi! Look at you. You're here.

- You're about to burst.

- I know. I wrote you about it.

You're so thin.

- Hi, Momma.

- Darling. I'm so glad to see you.

I thought you'd never get here.

Guess what's upstairs?

Mr. Johnsten.

Hi!

Wow, you're so beautiful!

Fermented cheese just for you.

- Hi, Pat.

- Hi.

How do you do?

Do you diet?

No. I run. And swim.

What was that?

I smashed your birdie!

- No, darling...

- Ashley!

I just bumped the wall. I'm sorry.

We can replace it. Can't we replace it?

I declare, Ashley.

I'll pick it up! I'll pick it up!

Let me do it.

No, wait a minute.

You go on, upstairs and I'll see

if we got anything to feed you

after I clean up Ashley' mess.

You still got 3 left.

No wonder he's thin.

She sure don't look like she can cook.

I love her.

Johnny?

I'm Madeleine. I married George.

You got any cigarettes?

What? No. Sorry. I don't smoke.

George got any?

Oh. George doesn't smoke.

He give it up?

I can tell you're brothers.

You're just as handsome.

He give up being an a**hole, yet?

Madeleine?

What was that?

Madeleine, I'd swim too,

but I wouldn't be caught dead

in a bathing suit like this.

See, I'm about to have a baby.

No!

I am too. Any day now.

But I've got this exercise book,

and I'm trying to lose weight

'cause Johnny hates it when I'm heavy.

And I can't stand it either.

Do you have kids?

Oh no. No.

Have you ever been married before?

When did you and George get married?

It'll be exactly 6 months tomorrow.

I'll be damned.

I know. I actually find it hard

to believe myself.

How's Johnny?
