but even in a love-based marriage,

each sex is capable of

harnessing the productive

and reproductive skills of the other.

Couldn't it be that people

didn't want to be alone?

Well, that would have made for

a shorter book.

[audience members laugh]

Hey.

Buddy? Hey!

Hey! Oh, my God!

Oh, my God, no!

No!

No!

[crying] Oh, my God!

[sobs]

[doorbell buzzes]

Yes?

[Manuel] Mrs. Mooney,

that girl, she's here.

Send her up!

Oh! I'm sorry.

[knock on door]

I need to find Nico. Please!

Look, I'm his girlfriend, Tallulah.

Whose baby is this?

It's his.

How old is she?

She's one.

[Margo] She's big for one.

She's almost two.

Oh, can you take that out of her hand?

Oh, yeah.

- I got it.

- What's her name?

Margaret. We named her after you.

Never liked the name Margaret.

That's why I go by Margo.

Well, we call her Maggie,

so really, Maggie's her name.

- [Margo] Can you just...

- She's all right.

She's fine, she's like...

a little... I'll put her in gymnastics

when she's older, for sure.

[Tallulah] Oh, my God!

I have something for you.

Nico said you wanted us to use it.

If I wanted you to use it,

I would've given you permission.

This is called stealing.

You could have closed the account.

And how else could I keep track of my son?

I have a record of every

gas station in every city.

You've been all over.

Can you please put that down?

Sorry.

[Margo] I had no idea it was with a baby.

Why didn't he call me?

I don't know. He just...

he said that he wanted to come home.

Oh, now he wants to come home

now that he's knocked up

some homeless girl!

Hey! I am not homeless, okay?

I'm just sleeping in my van,

but a window's broken,

and it's not a safe place for a baby.

Maybe you should have thought of that

before you had one!

Do you want to hold her?

No! I'm not stupid.

One night, one!

This house is full of

very expensive things

and sharp corners, so you hold on to her.

And if you take anything from me,

I will find you.

[voices over police radio]

There's no way that this woman

worked for the hotel.

She was housekeeping.

We have babysitting services.

You would think you people

have protections against this.

[Carolyn] I pay enough for my room.

Was she wearing a hotel uniform?

[in low voice] Yes.

Are you sure?

- Can we get her one to look at?

- Yes, sir.

[radio] Clear, boss, we got nothin'.

Okay, move it out. Level one mobilization.

Tell Central

to start making notifications.

What is that?

Missing Persons, possibly the FBI,

in case she crossed state lines.

[whispers] What if she tries to sell her?

She's white, she's pretty.

People would want her.

I don't think that's likely.

One thing at a time, Ms. Ford.
