to worry about.

- Nobody else knows

about this, huh?

- Just three people

in this room.

- You know, a fence,

if you're lucky,

will only give you 10%

on this stone.

- We're good with that,

right, Christian?

-Yeah, I'm good with that.

- I want my fee up front

on this deal,

considering I don't know

where the stone is coming from.

Don't give me that dirty look.

Come in, mommy, come in.

-Hey, ma, hey.

It's got to be two years

since I've seen you.

you're beautiful, god bless.

Let me take your coat.

What are you doing here, mommy?

- So good to see you.

-It's a mess, I'm sorry.

- Yeah, some things

never change.

Can I get you some tea

or something, sweetie?

-Uh... Coffee is fine.

- Okay.

You still love him, right?

-Yeah, I do.

- And he loves you?

- Yeah.

-Okay, so...

You love each other...

- Mm-hmm.

and beautiful.

Men have a tendency to change

when a baby

comes along, sweetheart.

-Not in this family.

Hi, honey.

-How you doing?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Come here.

-What?

- That was kind of nice,

I want another.

- Yeah?

You look good.

That's better.

- Mm, mm-hmm.

-What?

- I don't know.

Yeah. It's a new conditioner.

-Looks nice.

-Mm-hmm.

You'll never guess

where I went today.

I went to go see my mother.

-What the hell for?

- Because, after two years,

I needed to talk to her.

- What did she have to say?

Wait, wait, wait, let me guess.

Let me guess.

Dump the lousy degenerate.

- No.

- Am I right?

- No, no.

In fact, it's the opposite.

-Surprising.

-Yeah, surprised me.

-And?

- I wanted to tell her

the good news.

-Which is what?

What's behind door

number two, hmm?

-You're going to be a father.

Aren't you going

to say anything?

Eddie, you always said

you wanted a family.
