WEBVTT

00:01:22.291 --> 00:01:25.335 align:center
We have Mr. Incognito,

00:01:26.461 --> 00:01:28.296 align:center
Mr. Fancy Pants.

00:01:28.297 --> 00:01:30.006 align:center
Who could possibly win?

00:01:30.007 --> 00:01:32.508 align:center
When Margo was little,
she played with dolls

00:01:32.509 --> 00:01:34.802 align:center
- and practiced her make-believe…
- I'll destroy you.

00:01:34.803 --> 00:01:36.888 align:center
- …with a vengeance.
- That's what you think, punk.

00:01:36.889 --> 00:01:38.723 align:center
You're a dead man.

00:01:38.724 --> 00:01:40.642 align:center
Try me, loser.

00:01:41.894 --> 00:01:43.019 align:center
Die!

00:01:43.020 --> 00:01:45.189 align:center
Kill and crush!

00:01:45.772 --> 00:01:49.192 align:center
An only child needs to develop
a complex inner world,

00:01:49.193 --> 00:01:51.694 align:center
and this one could pretend
just about anything.

00:01:51.695 --> 00:01:54.780 align:center
…and they're still down,
and they're fighting.

00:01:54.781 --> 00:01:57.826 align:center
Eventually, her imagination became
her playmate.

00:01:58.785 --> 00:02:02.122 align:center
Entire alien worlds
bloomed inside her head.

00:02:02.915 --> 00:02:04.333 align:center
Lives she never lived.

00:02:04.917 --> 00:02:06.710 align:center
Impossible possibilities.

00:02:07.419 --> 00:02:09.128 align:center
Sometimes she wondered
if this was a curse.

00:02:10.839 --> 00:02:15.302 align:center
Was her father's carny lifestyle
and career as a fabulist in her blood?

00:02:21.183 --> 00:02:24.353 align:center
Or was she just trying to avoid reality
by rewriting it?

00:02:34.988 --> 00:02:39.867 align:center
The beginning of a story, when you
start to read it, is like a first date.

00:02:39.868 --> 00:02:43.247 align:center
You hope that from the opening lines,
the magic will happen,

00:02:43.747 --> 00:02:46.749 align:center
and that you will sink
into the narrative like a hot bath,

00:02:46.750 --> 00:02:48.877 align:center
giving yourself over entirely.

00:02:50.587 --> 00:02:53.840 align:center
That's what you want,
for the author to come right up to you

00:02:53.841 --> 00:02:55.467 align:center
in the dark of your twisted mind

00:02:56.301 --> 00:02:58.387 align:center
and kiss you on the throat.

00:03:01.974 --> 00:03:02.975 align:center
Ms. Millet.

00:03:04.852 --> 00:03:06.228 align:center
Can you hold back a second?

00:03:09.273 --> 00:03:10.524 align:center
Did I write it?

00:03:11.108 --> 00:03:12.358 align:center
Of course I wrote it.

00:03:12.359 --> 00:03:14.111 align:center
I do not plagiarize.

00:03:14.611 --> 00:03:16.028 align:center
I wrote that.

00:03:16.029 --> 00:03:17.447 align:center
Okay, then, my…

00:03:18.323 --> 00:03:21.201 align:center
my second question is why are you here?

00:03:25.163 --> 00:03:26.415 align:center
This paper is excellent.

00:03:26.915 --> 00:03:29.375 align:center
Why are you at Fullerton College?
You can go anywhere.

00:03:29.376 --> 00:03:31.420 align:center
Yeah, right. Like Harvard?

00:03:32.087 --> 00:03:33.380 align:center
Yes, like Harvard.

00:03:34.089 --> 00:03:36.632 align:center
I don't think they let you in there
for writing a good English paper.

00:03:36.633 --> 00:03:39.052 align:center
That is exactly why they let you in.

00:03:46.185 --> 00:03:47.477 align:center
I'm meeting him for coffee.

00:03:48.103 --> 00:03:49.312 align:center
I'm sorry, what?

00:03:49.313 --> 00:03:50.521 align:center
- Why?
- Well…

00:03:50.522 --> 00:03:53.107 align:center
Margo, if a professor
asks a student to get coffee,

00:03:53.108 --> 00:03:54.693 align:center
it's because he wants to fuck her.

00:03:55.277 --> 00:03:56.444 align:center
They've actually done studies.

00:03:56.445 --> 00:03:59.030 align:center
- He's married.
- Oh, gee, then.

00:03:59.031 --> 00:04:01.824 align:center
I want to get coffee with him, okay?

00:04:01.825 --> 00:04:03.118 align:center
Why? Is he cute?

00:04:03.619 --> 00:04:05.704 align:center
He thinks my writing is brilliant.

00:04:06.830 --> 00:04:09.457 align:center
- And he meant it.
- Okay. Do you not see the irony here?

00:04:09.458 --> 00:04:12.126 align:center
He wows you with, "The characters
in books are not real.

00:04:12.127 --> 00:04:15.129 align:center
It's why the reader falls for them,"
and now here you are falling for him,

00:04:15.130 --> 00:04:16.338 align:center
who's equally unreal.

00:04:16.339 --> 00:04:19.133 align:center
In fact just the title "professor"
makes him mysteriously nonhuman

00:04:19.134 --> 00:04:21.761 align:center
- in your eyes.
- Can you for once not analyze me?

00:04:21.762 --> 00:04:24.388 align:center
I don't need to analyze you. I know you.

00:04:24.389 --> 00:04:26.642 align:center
And you're probably
a character in a book for him too.

00:04:27.392 --> 00:04:28.976 align:center
One with sticky pages.

00:04:28.977 --> 00:04:30.394 align:center
Don't be gross.

00:04:30.395 --> 00:04:31.687 align:center
I'm being your mother.

00:04:31.688 --> 00:04:33.439 align:center
Do I need to call your mother?

00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:36.068 align:center
I'm not gonna sleep with the guy, okay?

00:04:37.986 --> 00:04:39.154 align:center
I'm not.

00:04:39.988 --> 00:04:42.199 align:center
It's possible that I might be a leg man.

00:04:44.535 --> 00:04:47.828 align:center
I always thought I was a forearm man
because of this little nook

00:04:47.829 --> 00:04:50.332 align:center
between the bicep and the forearm, but…

00:04:51.124 --> 00:04:53.125 align:center
my Lord, this leg.

00:04:53.126 --> 00:04:56.421 align:center
Oh, my mother has the best legs
in the history of the planet.

00:04:57.297 --> 00:04:59.800 align:center
I used to think
that I wanted to grow up to be them.

00:05:00.843 --> 00:05:02.635 align:center
- Her legs?
- And then I thought, no,

00:05:02.636 --> 00:05:05.097 align:center
I wanna be her sheer black pantyhose.

00:05:05.681 --> 00:05:07.307 align:center
She works at Bloomingdale's.

00:05:09.017 --> 00:05:12.895 align:center
I think maybe I was imprinted
like a baby duck to her stockings.

00:05:12.896 --> 00:05:15.440 align:center
I mean, can you imagine
wanting to grow up to be hose?

00:05:16.066 --> 00:05:17.818 align:center
Good that you reset your aspirations.

00:05:20.237 --> 00:05:22.572 align:center
You remember when
you first wanted to become a writer?

00:05:22.573 --> 00:05:24.116 align:center
Ever since I was little.

00:05:25.784 --> 00:05:27.577 align:center
Probably because of my father.

00:05:27.578 --> 00:05:29.328 align:center
He used to read to me when I was a baby.

00:05:29.329 --> 00:05:30.330 align:center
Really?

00:05:31.039 --> 00:05:34.710 align:center
- What does he think of your writing?
- He's never read me.

00:05:35.294 --> 00:05:39.131 align:center
I was raised by a single mom,
so he would pop in and out, but…

00:05:40.757 --> 00:05:43.217 align:center
…it's not like I can really claim
to know him.

00:05:43.218 --> 00:05:46.138 align:center
Well, I think you should
send him one of your pieces.

00:05:46.805 --> 00:05:48.932 align:center
I think he would be quite proud
to know you.

00:05:50.142 --> 00:05:53.020 align:center
So, I wrote you a poem.

00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:55.480 align:center
"The Hungry Ghost."

00:05:56.940 --> 00:05:59.484 align:center
"In the dark, we turn to one another.

00:06:00.068 --> 00:06:02.153 align:center
Like deformed doves,

00:06:02.154 --> 00:06:04.114 align:center
confused that we have bodies.

00:06:05.073 --> 00:06:06.325 align:center
I feel nothing.

00:06:07.117 --> 00:06:08.619 align:center
Keep touching me.

00:06:09.286 --> 00:06:10.454 align:center
I feel nothing.

00:06:11.455 --> 00:06:13.248 align:center
I'm a hungry ghost."

00:06:18.670 --> 00:06:19.922 align:center
Isn't it amazing?

00:06:20.714 --> 00:06:23.425 align:center
- It's creepy.
- It's beautiful.

00:06:24.801 --> 00:06:26.385 align:center
Maybe your blood sugar is low.

00:06:26.386 --> 00:06:28.679 align:center
Go to the store right now and buy some OJ

00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.681 align:center
- and Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips.
- I'm fine.

00:06:30.682 --> 00:06:31.974 align:center
I don't want orange meal.

00:06:31.975 --> 00:06:35.061 align:center
Honestly, Margo, I think
you should get away from this douche.

00:06:35.062 --> 00:06:36.979 align:center
Get him to write a recommendation for you.

00:06:36.980 --> 00:06:38.273 align:center
Either that or you report him.

00:06:39.024 --> 00:06:41.359 align:center
Maybe he can shoehorn you into NYU.

00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.236 align:center
We have real professors here, by the way,

00:06:43.237 --> 00:06:45.696 align:center
who are more into teaching
than getting into their students' pants.

00:06:45.697 --> 00:06:47.199 align:center
Fuck off!

00:06:47.991 --> 00:06:50.452 align:center
Hello? Did you just throw me?

00:06:51.036 --> 00:06:52.496 align:center
Margo, pick up that phone.

00:06:52.996 --> 00:06:54.497 align:center
Stay away from him.

00:06:54.498 --> 00:06:56.875 align:center
Margo, stay away from him.

00:07:14.059 --> 00:07:15.394 align:center
Thank you for coming.

00:07:19.481 --> 00:07:21.358 align:center
No. Not here.

00:07:21.984 --> 00:07:23.901 align:center
This is a sacred place.

00:07:23.902 --> 00:07:28.198 align:center
That is actually
why I had you meet me here today.

00:07:32.619 --> 00:07:36.831 align:center
- So?
- So, this place is obviously

00:07:36.832 --> 00:07:38.709 align:center
an important part of me.

00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.715 align:center
As are you. As is God.

00:07:45.424 --> 00:07:50.179 align:center
I'd like to incorporate God
more into the equation of us.

00:07:53.849 --> 00:07:56.100 align:center
- Okay.
- It's great that you're with us

00:07:56.101 --> 00:07:57.186 align:center
on Sundays.

00:07:58.270 --> 00:08:00.439 align:center
I want you to be among us.

00:08:07.863 --> 00:08:08.864 align:center
Okay.

00:08:09.615 --> 00:08:10.616 align:center
The choir?

00:08:11.241 --> 00:08:13.117 align:center
You agreed to be in the choir?

00:08:13.118 --> 00:08:16.120 align:center
Well, it would be less painful
than being on some committee.

00:08:16.121 --> 00:08:18.873 align:center
- Is it a cult, this church?
- No.

00:08:18.874 --> 00:08:24.046 align:center
Kenny wants me
to be among the Episcopalians.

00:08:25.964 --> 00:08:27.381 align:center
How's school?

00:08:27.382 --> 00:08:30.384 align:center
Any upticks in your intelligence?

00:08:30.385 --> 00:08:31.386 align:center
Some.

00:08:32.971 --> 00:08:34.890 align:center
- Hold on.
- Mom!

00:08:35.390 --> 00:08:37.225 align:center
You can't just do this to somebody.

00:08:37.226 --> 00:08:40.144 align:center
I only do this to you.
You have such beautiful eyes,

00:08:40.145 --> 00:08:43.272 align:center
and I'm tired of being the only one
who thinks so.

00:08:43.273 --> 00:08:45.901 align:center
- What are you studying?
- Well,

00:08:46.944 --> 00:08:48.070 align:center
my lit class.

00:08:49.154 --> 00:08:51.572 align:center
I have this amazing professor.

00:08:51.573 --> 00:08:54.700 align:center
Which, I mean, who knew,
at Fullerton College, right?

00:08:54.701 --> 00:08:57.371 align:center
He thinks that I could have
a real future as a writer.

00:08:58.038 --> 00:09:00.915 align:center
Could you imagine? Me as a real writer?

00:09:00.916 --> 00:09:03.126 align:center
Yes, I can imagine that.

00:09:03.877 --> 00:09:04.962 align:center
Tell me about him.

00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:06.880 align:center
Who?

00:09:08.382 --> 00:09:09.383 align:center
Your professor.

00:09:12.344 --> 00:09:15.138 align:center
Well, he's great.

00:09:16.807 --> 00:09:20.477 align:center
There's this contagion
in the way that he teaches.

00:09:21.061 --> 00:09:24.147 align:center
He has a way
of really making you feel the books.

00:09:24.982 --> 00:09:26.441 align:center
Feel the characters.

00:09:28.986 --> 00:09:30.279 align:center
Tell me more.

00:09:31.113 --> 00:09:34.992 align:center
That's it.
There's nothing really more to tell.

00:09:35.868 --> 00:09:37.035 align:center
That isn't true, is it?

00:09:41.331 --> 00:09:42.833 align:center
Oh, my God.

00:09:55.095 --> 00:09:56.429 align:center
Shut the fuck up!

00:09:56.430 --> 00:09:58.306 align:center
- Who's that?
- It's one of my roommates.

00:09:58.307 --> 00:10:00.308 align:center
- Roommates?
- Yeah, I told you I had roommates.

00:10:00.309 --> 00:10:02.935 align:center
- You didn't say they would be home.
- Well, seems one of them is.

00:10:02.936 --> 00:10:05.314 align:center
Here, let's go over there.
It's a stress-bearing wall.

00:10:09.026 --> 00:10:11.069 align:center
Wait. My pants.

00:10:13.113 --> 00:10:16.283 align:center
He is tender and thoughtful and sweet.

00:10:16.950 --> 00:10:18.660 align:center
And he writes beautiful emails.

00:10:19.328 --> 00:10:20.620 align:center
- Let me read you one.
- Margo,

00:10:20.621 --> 00:10:24.208 align:center
he's a 30-something-year-old professor
schtupping a student.

00:10:25.375 --> 00:10:27.001 align:center
Do not be falling in love with him.

00:10:27.002 --> 00:10:29.128 align:center
I'm not gonna fall in love with him.

00:10:29.129 --> 00:10:31.632 align:center
But he's making you
fall in love with you some.

00:10:32.132 --> 00:10:33.800 align:center
And that's the oldest trick in the book.

00:10:34.885 --> 00:10:36.011 align:center
You're too smart for this.

00:10:51.193 --> 00:10:53.153 align:center
Jinx! Jinx! Jinx!

00:10:58.033 --> 00:10:59.493 align:center
Oh, my God.

00:11:01.245 --> 00:11:02.579 align:center
Sorry.

00:11:04.414 --> 00:11:05.790 align:center
It's how I…

00:11:05.791 --> 00:11:07.291 align:center
…how I exercise.

00:11:07.292 --> 00:11:09.544 align:center
- To that? To him?
- Yeah.

00:11:09.545 --> 00:11:12.673 align:center
I love wrestling, and he's my favorite.

00:11:14.299 --> 00:11:15.425 align:center
Isn't he retired?

00:11:16.301 --> 00:11:17.386 align:center
You follow wrestling?

00:11:19.263 --> 00:11:20.264 align:center
No.

00:11:21.014 --> 00:11:22.098 align:center
Well, yeah.

00:11:22.099 --> 00:11:24.100 align:center
He has the most amazing bellow.

00:11:24.101 --> 00:11:25.268 align:center
It's like Tarzan.

00:11:25.269 --> 00:11:28.438 align:center
Jinx! Jinx! Jinx!

00:11:37.739 --> 00:11:43.160 align:center
Happy birthday to you

00:11:43.161 --> 00:11:45.454 align:center
So this bitch Becca,

00:11:45.455 --> 00:11:46.873 align:center
she's probably just jealous, you know?

00:11:46.874 --> 00:11:48.624 align:center
Friends can get envious that way.

00:11:48.625 --> 00:11:51.002 align:center
And what exactly
would she have to be envious of?

00:11:51.003 --> 00:11:54.380 align:center
Well, she's stuck in the Big Apple
studying at a major university,

00:11:54.381 --> 00:11:57.884 align:center
while you get to be here in Fullerton,
working a night shift.

00:11:57.885 --> 00:12:00.137 align:center
- With you.
- Exactly. With me.

00:12:02.222 --> 00:12:04.515 align:center
- Are you still nauseous?
- It's just a…

00:12:04.516 --> 00:12:07.186 align:center
I don't know, a bad taco I think.
It's fine.

00:12:10.772 --> 00:12:13.941 align:center
- Dude, that is not cool.
- I'm so sorry.

00:12:13.942 --> 00:12:16.652 align:center
You've been nauseous for three days, dude.

00:12:16.653 --> 00:12:18.572 align:center
You think maybe you should take a test?

00:12:19.072 --> 00:12:21.699 align:center
- What do you mean a test?
- I mean a test.

00:12:21.700 --> 00:12:24.494 align:center
The kind you can't study for
at Fullerton College.

00:13:06.411 --> 00:13:08.038 align:center
Oh, my fuck.

00:13:10.123 --> 00:13:11.458 align:center
Holy shit.

00:13:13.961 --> 00:13:15.546 align:center
Okay.

00:13:17.256 --> 00:13:18.257 align:center
Okay.

00:13:20.092 --> 00:13:21.843 align:center
Well,

00:13:21.844 --> 00:13:25.472 align:center
I want to be there
to support you in any way possible.

00:13:26.849 --> 00:13:27.933 align:center
Yeah, like,

00:13:28.517 --> 00:13:30.935 align:center
I would start
by calling Planned Parenthood,

00:13:30.936 --> 00:13:33.646 align:center
but I don't know if a private doctor
does it or if it's nicer.

00:13:33.647 --> 00:13:35.941 align:center
I don't want you
to have to go to some cheap clinic.

00:13:41.488 --> 00:13:44.199 align:center
- What?
- Sounds like you've made my decision.

00:13:45.117 --> 00:13:48.077 align:center
- Excuse me?
- That I should have an abortion.

00:13:48.078 --> 00:13:49.079 align:center
What?

00:13:50.914 --> 00:13:54.667 align:center
I would never make
such a decision for you.

00:13:54.668 --> 00:13:56.128 align:center
That is your decision to make.

00:13:56.920 --> 00:13:59.172 align:center
I mean, ours. Together.

00:13:59.173 --> 00:14:02.050 align:center
But, a woman's body,
your body, your right.

00:14:03.427 --> 00:14:05.219 align:center
I totally respect that.

00:14:05.220 --> 00:14:06.972 align:center
Of course. Obviously.

00:14:10.350 --> 00:14:12.436 align:center
- Are you Catholic?
- No.

00:14:14.897 --> 00:14:16.523 align:center
But terminating a life…

00:14:18.901 --> 00:14:20.235 align:center
that's something to think about.

00:14:20.861 --> 00:14:24.865 align:center
As is aborting your future, Margo.
Your promise.

00:14:26.783 --> 00:14:28.534 align:center
Ever had one of these before?

00:14:28.535 --> 00:14:29.536 align:center
No.

00:14:30.078 --> 00:14:32.413 align:center
Well, when the fetus is this size,

00:14:32.414 --> 00:14:34.123 align:center
we can't see well enough
through the belly,

00:14:34.124 --> 00:14:36.876 align:center
so we have to take a peek internally.

00:14:36.877 --> 00:14:39.462 align:center
You're gonna stick that in me?

00:14:39.463 --> 00:14:42.048 align:center
Well, the gel is heated,
so it shouldn't be too bad.

00:14:42.049 --> 00:14:43.799 align:center
How could it not be bad?

00:14:43.800 --> 00:14:46.053 align:center
I'm about to be fucked by a robot.

00:14:47.804 --> 00:14:51.390 align:center
- Sorry, that just came out.
- I've heard worse.

00:14:51.391 --> 00:14:52.392 align:center
Are we ready?

00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:55.478 align:center
"Are we ready?" Yeah.

00:14:55.479 --> 00:14:57.146 align:center
Yeah, I guess we're ready.

00:14:57.147 --> 00:14:58.482 align:center
Make yourself comfortable.

00:15:01.568 --> 00:15:02.611 align:center
Here we go.

00:15:15.415 --> 00:15:16.458 align:center
What's that?

00:15:17.292 --> 00:15:18.710 align:center
That's the heartbeat.

00:15:25.300 --> 00:15:27.261 align:center
- It is?
- I would say,

00:15:27.761 --> 00:15:29.554 align:center
based on these measurements,

00:15:29.555 --> 00:15:32.474 align:center
that you're about nine to ten weeks.

00:15:33.475 --> 00:15:35.018 align:center
- What?
- I should've asked.

00:15:35.602 --> 00:15:36.854 align:center
Do you want a copy of the photo?

00:15:38.188 --> 00:15:39.273 align:center
Yeah.

00:15:49.992 --> 00:15:51.743 align:center
Do we know what we want to do
about the pregnancy?

00:16:15.434 --> 00:16:16.685 align:center
I like your nails.

00:16:19.229 --> 00:16:20.230 align:center
Thanks.

00:16:23.984 --> 00:16:24.985 align:center
Ten weeks.

00:16:25.819 --> 00:16:27.362 align:center
Do you want to see the picture?

00:16:28.071 --> 00:16:29.072 align:center
No.

00:16:33.869 --> 00:16:35.204 align:center
You wanna keep it, don't you?

00:16:38.415 --> 00:16:39.625 align:center
I don't know.

00:16:52.804 --> 00:16:54.806 align:center
You keep this baby,
you're taking care of it.

00:16:55.349 --> 00:16:57.100 align:center
- It would be your child.
- I know.

00:16:59.645 --> 00:17:01.980 align:center
Goddamn it. You were in college.

00:17:02.648 --> 00:17:03.856 align:center
You were gonna be somebody.

00:17:03.857 --> 00:17:05.857 align:center
- Who was I gonna be?
- You know what I mean.

00:17:05.858 --> 00:17:09.737 align:center
You were gonna have a career,
and you were gonna, like, do things.

00:17:09.738 --> 00:17:12.115 align:center
- What things?
- Whatever you wanted!

00:17:14.034 --> 00:17:15.326 align:center
Oh, my God.

00:17:15.327 --> 00:17:16.494 align:center
My God.

00:17:17.621 --> 00:17:19.915 align:center
- How do I tell Kenny?
- Kenny?

00:17:20.499 --> 00:17:21.791 align:center
He's religious!

00:17:23.126 --> 00:17:25.419 align:center
He'll either be shocked
that you're having an abortion,

00:17:25.420 --> 00:17:27.713 align:center
or that you got knocked up
in the first place.

00:17:27.714 --> 00:17:30.132 align:center
I don't really care what Kenny thinks.

00:17:30.133 --> 00:17:35.097 align:center
Well, you need to,
because he could end up your stepdad.

00:17:35.597 --> 00:17:38.475 align:center
Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!

00:17:41.019 --> 00:17:42.020 align:center
I'm sorry.

00:17:45.774 --> 00:17:48.235 align:center
You know me well enough when I get scared.

00:17:49.945 --> 00:17:52.780 align:center
God, when I got pregnant with you,
I was terrified.

00:17:52.781 --> 00:17:53.866 align:center
You kept me.

00:17:54.491 --> 00:17:56.909 align:center
A one-night stand from a guy
who picked you up at Hooters.

00:17:56.910 --> 00:17:58.161 align:center
I mean, what would possess you?

00:18:02.708 --> 00:18:03.959 align:center
I thought he was the one.

00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:06.879 align:center
- Your dad.
- You didn't even know his name.

00:18:07.629 --> 00:18:09.755 align:center
I guess, I'm gonna have to tell Dad,
by the way,

00:18:09.756 --> 00:18:11.133 align:center
if I decide to keep it.

00:18:12.509 --> 00:18:15.303 align:center
Promised that I'd keep him in the loop
on the big stuff.

00:18:15.304 --> 00:18:17.639 align:center
Yeah, when was the last time
you talked to him?

00:18:19.600 --> 00:18:21.100 align:center
Not in a while.

00:18:21.101 --> 00:18:22.978 align:center
Closer to never than recently.

00:18:27.441 --> 00:18:30.027 align:center
How did you break the news
when you were pregnant?

00:18:40.245 --> 00:18:45.792 align:center
One night, he and a few of his friends
came into the restaurant and…

00:18:46.710 --> 00:18:48.461 align:center
Drunk off their asses…

00:18:48.462 --> 00:18:53.382 align:center
and after my shift,
he took me back to his hotel room,

00:18:53.383 --> 00:18:54.885 align:center
and, you know, I told him.

00:19:01.642 --> 00:19:05.353 align:center
He seemed really happy.

00:19:05.354 --> 00:19:07.230 align:center
It was weird.

00:19:07.231 --> 00:19:11.776 align:center
Like, he couldn't stop smiling
and he was rubbing my tummy.

00:19:11.777 --> 00:19:14.737 align:center
And then he told me he was married,

00:19:14.738 --> 00:19:19.451 align:center
and that kinda broke my heart.

00:19:20.661 --> 00:19:23.246 align:center
And I was crying,

00:19:23.247 --> 00:19:25.832 align:center
and he said,

00:19:27.209 --> 00:19:31.088 align:center
"I'm really glad that I met you."

00:19:31.672 --> 00:19:35.384 align:center
And I realized I was…

00:19:37.344 --> 00:19:39.387 align:center
I was really glad that I met him too.

00:19:39.388 --> 00:19:41.347 align:center
You know, he'd come into town,
we'd get together,

00:19:41.348 --> 00:19:44.767 align:center
and he'd sometimes bring you a toy,
rock you on his knee,

00:19:44.768 --> 00:19:47.729 align:center
and… you know, and hoist you around some.

00:19:49.231 --> 00:19:51.149 align:center
Hoist me around some and…

00:19:51.900 --> 00:19:54.819 align:center
Oh, yeah. My friends thought I was
the biggest dumbass on earth,

00:19:54.820 --> 00:19:55.863 align:center
but I…

00:19:56.780 --> 00:19:57.823 align:center
I loved him.

00:20:00.367 --> 00:20:01.827 align:center
You chose to keep me.

00:20:05.038 --> 00:20:06.331 align:center
I did.

00:20:11.837 --> 00:20:13.964 align:center
Do you believe things happen for a reason?

00:20:15.674 --> 00:20:17.175 align:center
I don't know.

00:20:17.176 --> 00:20:18.969 align:center
I think you want to wreck your life.

00:20:19.678 --> 00:20:21.096 align:center
I ruined your life.

00:20:24.892 --> 00:20:27.477 align:center
You ruined my life so pretty.

00:20:39.573 --> 00:20:40.824 align:center
Are you in love with him?

00:20:41.658 --> 00:20:42.867 align:center
Your professor?

00:20:42.868 --> 00:20:44.286 align:center
I'm not in love with him.

00:20:48.123 --> 00:20:49.625 align:center
And I don't want him.

00:20:53.337 --> 00:20:55.005 align:center
But for whatever reason…

00:20:58.217 --> 00:20:59.635 align:center
…I want this baby.

00:21:04.097 --> 00:21:06.725 align:center
I want it more
than I've ever wanted anything.

00:21:19.988 --> 00:21:22.783 align:center
It's very important
that you not judge her.

00:21:23.450 --> 00:21:25.618 align:center
Why would we do that?
We're not judgy people.

00:21:25.619 --> 00:21:27.578 align:center
I'm just saying.
She's gonna need our support.

00:21:27.579 --> 00:21:30.581 align:center
I'm not gonna feign support
for a decision I don't approve of.

00:21:30.582 --> 00:21:32.917 align:center
She's a student. Supposedly a feminist.

00:21:32.918 --> 00:21:34.461 align:center
I mean, what message is she sending?

00:21:37.089 --> 00:21:38.423 align:center
Hey. Sup?

00:21:41.093 --> 00:21:42.885 align:center
We were planning your baby shower.

00:21:42.886 --> 00:21:44.179 align:center
We were?

00:21:44.721 --> 00:21:46.013 align:center
I really don't want a baby shower.

00:21:46.014 --> 00:21:48.140 align:center
Whether you want one or not,
you're gonna need stuff,

00:21:48.141 --> 00:21:50.853 align:center
- and that's the best way to get it.
- Hey, may I ask,

00:21:51.770 --> 00:21:53.605 align:center
is he going to be part of the picture?

00:21:54.231 --> 00:21:56.733 align:center
- Evidently not.
- What do you mean evidently?

00:21:57.526 --> 00:22:00.487 align:center
He's gone a bit silent
after I told him I'm having it.

00:22:02.281 --> 00:22:03.657 align:center
He's gone stone-cold silent?

00:22:04.283 --> 00:22:05.951 align:center
He sent me another poem.

00:23:35.123 --> 00:23:38.627 align:center
Jinx! Jinx! Jinx!

00:24:31.388 --> 00:24:33.265 align:center
I'm not a serious person.

00:24:34.266 --> 00:24:35.809 align:center
What kind of person are you?

00:24:37.603 --> 00:24:40.104 align:center
A cheesy one.

00:24:40.105 --> 00:24:41.815 align:center
Can I ask you something?

00:24:43.317 --> 00:24:46.068 align:center
Why do you always write
in the third person?

00:24:46.069 --> 00:24:51.074 align:center
I think that it makes me
have more sympathy for the character.

00:24:52.159 --> 00:24:53.327 align:center
My character.

00:24:53.827 --> 00:24:55.954 align:center
Makes it easier for me to like myself.

00:24:57.247 --> 00:24:59.750 align:center
You're the most singular woman
I've ever met.

00:25:06.965 --> 00:25:08.800 align:center
- Hey.
- Hey.

00:25:09.760 --> 00:25:10.802 align:center
You all right?

00:25:11.595 --> 00:25:12.763 align:center
You been kind of quiet.

00:25:13.388 --> 00:25:16.390 align:center
I get triggered
by long stretches of silences.

00:25:16.391 --> 00:25:17.684 align:center
How did I let this happen?

00:25:18.435 --> 00:25:20.228 align:center
Becca made a comment that

00:25:20.229 --> 00:25:24.525 align:center
it's not about
me falling in love with him, as it is

00:25:25.025 --> 00:25:27.152 align:center
him making me fall in love with myself.

00:25:28.278 --> 00:25:29.988 align:center
I think that's what he did.

00:25:31.323 --> 00:25:32.574 align:center
He made me feel important.

00:25:34.576 --> 00:25:36.369 align:center
What am I gonna do?

00:25:36.370 --> 00:25:40.122 align:center
Can't even get a deep breath.
It causes this stabbing pain.

00:25:40.123 --> 00:25:45.671 align:center
What I do is, I just pretend
that stuff is make-believe.

00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:49.549 align:center
It's why I watch wrestling,
you know, instead of other sports,

00:25:49.550 --> 00:25:52.761 align:center
'cause it's all scripted.
It's pre-thought-out.

00:25:53.512 --> 00:25:54.804 align:center
I feel safe watching it.

00:25:54.805 --> 00:25:57.808 align:center
This is definitely not pre-thought-out,

00:25:58.600 --> 00:25:59.643 align:center
and I don't feel safe.

00:26:00.394 --> 00:26:01.603 align:center
Maybe try your father again.

00:26:03.230 --> 00:26:05.898 align:center
Dads are always good at making
their daughters feel important.

00:26:05.899 --> 00:26:08.026 align:center
I've texted him a gazillion times.

00:26:09.945 --> 00:26:10.988 align:center
Maybe your mom?

00:26:13.323 --> 00:26:16.117 align:center
Could try the Goodwill.
They might have a used UPPAbaby.

00:26:16.118 --> 00:26:18.035 align:center
They won't have anything there but crap.

00:26:18.036 --> 00:26:20.204 align:center
Brown floral fabric and cheap plastic.

00:26:20.205 --> 00:26:23.165 align:center
You want him to grow up
and spit from truck windows

00:26:23.166 --> 00:26:25.084 align:center
and laugh at racist jokes?

00:26:25.085 --> 00:26:26.295 align:center
Come on. I get a discount.

00:26:26.962 --> 00:26:29.047 align:center
God, look at this stuff.

00:26:30.716 --> 00:26:32.676 align:center
How can they be so expensive?

00:26:33.510 --> 00:26:35.011 align:center
Twelve hundred dollars.

00:26:35.012 --> 00:26:36.804 align:center
- Yeah.
- That's more than I paid for my car.

00:26:36.805 --> 00:26:39.850 align:center
Well, it's, you know,
of higher quality, so…

00:26:42.644 --> 00:26:44.021 align:center
It's just all so beautiful.

00:26:44.730 --> 00:26:45.814 align:center
It really is.

00:26:52.196 --> 00:26:53.322 align:center
What are you doing?

00:26:54.114 --> 00:26:56.992 align:center
This is the world that my baby deserves.

00:26:57.701 --> 00:27:00.286 align:center
The one I won't come close
to being able to afford.

00:27:00.287 --> 00:27:03.539 align:center
Get up off the floor.

00:27:03.540 --> 00:27:04.916 align:center
This is so wrong.

00:27:04.917 --> 00:27:07.169 align:center
You are making a scene.

00:27:07.878 --> 00:27:09.713 align:center
Get yourself back up off the floor,
young lady.

00:27:11.798 --> 00:27:15.469 align:center
There are no victims in Bloomingdale's.

00:27:25.646 --> 00:27:26.647 align:center
Fine.

00:27:33.320 --> 00:27:34.488 align:center
I'm buying you this one.

00:27:35.239 --> 00:27:36.240 align:center
Let's go.

00:27:42.412 --> 00:27:43.413 align:center
Oh, God.

00:27:44.081 --> 00:27:45.082 align:center
Mom!

00:27:55.050 --> 00:27:59.428 align:center
…in. It will not hold me. Give in.

00:27:59.429 --> 00:28:01.056 align:center
Here, let me try. Let me try.

00:28:03.684 --> 00:28:05.185 align:center
My God.

00:28:10.983 --> 00:28:13.151 align:center
Thanks, Mom. Even with the discount.

00:28:14.194 --> 00:28:15.403 align:center
I don't care.

00:28:15.404 --> 00:28:18.782 align:center
No grandchild of mine
is riding in a boring-ass stroller.

00:28:21.952 --> 00:28:22.953 align:center
What?

00:28:27.583 --> 00:28:28.959 align:center
Do not tell me…

00:28:29.877 --> 00:28:32.171 align:center
Yeah. That's him.

00:28:33.005 --> 00:28:35.799 align:center
Mom, listen to me.

00:28:36.675 --> 00:28:37.843 align:center
I'm gonna go talk to him.

00:28:39.011 --> 00:28:41.012 align:center
You're gonna take the stroller to the car.

00:28:41.013 --> 00:28:43.973 align:center
Let me just smash his face in.
I can be quick about it.

00:28:43.974 --> 00:28:45.726 align:center
You're gonna mind your own business.

00:28:46.226 --> 00:28:48.187 align:center
- I don't do that.
- I fucking swear.

00:28:49.104 --> 00:28:50.689 align:center
Just take the stroller to the car.

00:28:53.233 --> 00:28:54.318 align:center
I will deal.

00:29:12.002 --> 00:29:13.253 align:center
Professor.

00:29:14.004 --> 00:29:17.090 align:center
Margo Millet, I took your lit class.
You probably don't remember.

00:29:18.091 --> 00:29:19.134 align:center
Do you remember?

00:29:20.511 --> 00:29:21.512 align:center
I do.

00:29:22.679 --> 00:29:24.597 align:center
- This is my wife…
- Hi.

00:29:24.598 --> 00:29:25.599 align:center
…Sarah.

00:29:26.225 --> 00:29:27.808 align:center
- Daughter, Hailey.
- Hi.

00:29:27.809 --> 00:29:29.228 align:center
My son, Max.

00:29:29.853 --> 00:29:31.021 align:center
Hello.

00:29:31.522 --> 00:29:32.772 align:center
Well, I'm sorry to intrude,

00:29:32.773 --> 00:29:36.527 align:center
but there's no time like the present
to take exception, right?

00:29:38.737 --> 00:29:41.615 align:center
She was very disappointed
by her final grade.

00:29:42.407 --> 00:29:44.409 align:center
She felt you treated her unfairly.

00:29:45.494 --> 00:29:46.744 align:center
Honey,

00:29:46.745 --> 00:29:48.829 align:center
- do you wanna just go inside for a sec?
- Yeah.

00:29:48.830 --> 00:29:50.206 align:center
- Sure thing.
- I'll be right there.

00:29:50.207 --> 00:29:52.375 align:center
- Come on, guys.
- I'll be right there, bud. Okay?

00:29:52.376 --> 00:29:53.627 align:center
Daddy will be back.

00:29:57.548 --> 00:29:58.632 align:center
Did you follow me here?

00:29:59.132 --> 00:30:01.385 align:center
- Are you stalking me?
- Stalking you?

00:30:02.010 --> 00:30:03.178 align:center
I was shopping here.

00:30:03.679 --> 00:30:05.514 align:center
Not like I can really afford to.

00:30:06.139 --> 00:30:08.600 align:center
- It's nice to see that you can.
- Look, Margo,

00:30:09.309 --> 00:30:11.937 align:center
- I don't know what this is about, okay?
- Look at me, Mark.

00:30:12.604 --> 00:30:14.981 align:center
- Take a guess.
- I endeavored to be responsible here,

00:30:14.982 --> 00:30:17.233 align:center
and the most responsible thing
that I could've possibly done,

00:30:17.234 --> 00:30:19.820 align:center
which I did do, was to discourage you
from having this baby.

00:30:20.404 --> 00:30:21.988 align:center
Do you want me in this baby's life?

00:30:21.989 --> 00:30:23.447 align:center
Is that what this encounter is about?

00:30:23.448 --> 00:30:25.075 align:center
If it even is my child.

00:30:26.034 --> 00:30:27.286 align:center
Excuse me?

00:30:37.004 --> 00:30:38.505 align:center
What do you want from me, Margo?

00:30:40.549 --> 00:30:41.842 align:center
You know what, Mark?

00:30:43.260 --> 00:30:44.261 align:center
Nothing.

00:30:46.930 --> 00:30:48.599 align:center
I want absolutely nothing.

00:30:52.477 --> 00:30:56.064 align:center
He actually questioned
whether the baby was his.

00:31:00.611 --> 00:31:01.861 align:center
He checked you out.

00:31:01.862 --> 00:31:03.154 align:center
As you walked by,

00:31:03.155 --> 00:31:07.534 align:center
the father of my child took a beat
to check out my mother.

00:31:12.539 --> 00:31:13.998 align:center
I told you to stay out of it.

00:31:13.999 --> 00:31:15.750 align:center
I did stay out of it.

00:31:15.751 --> 00:31:17.502 align:center
I didn't even look at you.

00:31:17.503 --> 00:31:20.379 align:center
- I just walked to the car.
- No. Yeah, you walked right by us.

00:31:20.380 --> 00:31:23.174 align:center
Okay, clearly you are looking for a fight,
I suspect at him,

00:31:23.175 --> 00:31:25.301 align:center
and he's not here, so I'll do!

00:31:25.302 --> 00:31:28.388 align:center
Yeah, I'm angry at him and you.

00:31:29.723 --> 00:31:33.227 align:center
Because maybe this was a stupid decision,
and maybe you were right.

00:31:34.603 --> 00:31:37.939 align:center
But this is my decision,
and I'm having this baby.

00:31:37.940 --> 00:31:39.107 align:center
Your grandson.

00:31:39.691 --> 00:31:42.903 align:center
And for you to not show an inch of joy.

00:31:45.030 --> 00:31:46.573 align:center
How dare you not celebrate it?

00:31:47.491 --> 00:31:49.283 align:center
Because I don't!

00:31:49.284 --> 00:31:51.118 align:center
Will I love him? Of course.

00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:54.331 align:center
Just as I love you.
From the day you were born.

00:31:55.916 --> 00:32:00.838 align:center
But no, I don't celebrate this tragedy
for one second.

00:32:01.547 --> 00:32:02.839 align:center
Your life as you know it…

00:32:02.840 --> 00:32:04.967 align:center
No, check that…

00:32:06.009 --> 00:32:09.304 align:center
as you never got to know, is over.

00:32:10.097 --> 00:32:12.099 align:center
So, no, I don't rejoice in that.

00:32:16.854 --> 00:32:19.690 align:center
Life breaks people.

00:32:23.193 --> 00:32:26.112 align:center
Nobody tells you that,
and you won't read that

00:32:26.113 --> 00:32:28.781 align:center
in those What to Expect
When You're Expecting books.

00:32:28.782 --> 00:32:29.950 align:center
But this will break you.

00:32:32.536 --> 00:32:33.619 align:center
I'm not broken.

00:32:33.620 --> 00:32:34.912 align:center
I…

00:32:34.913 --> 00:32:37.206 align:center
Can you just get out of the car
for two seconds?

00:32:37.207 --> 00:32:40.209 align:center
- You want me to get out of the car?
- Yes, because I need to scream,

00:32:40.210 --> 00:32:41.670 align:center
and it's not good for the baby.

00:32:42.171 --> 00:32:44.630 align:center
And it'll reduce my stress,
but might not his.

00:32:44.631 --> 00:32:46.883 align:center
So, please get out.

00:32:46.884 --> 00:32:48.218 align:center
It'll just take a second.

00:33:04.902 --> 00:33:06.653 align:center
- She's not doing it right.
- Ma'am.

00:33:08.780 --> 00:33:10.741 align:center
Would you just give her the epidural?

00:33:11.283 --> 00:33:13.785 align:center
- Please.
- God's sake. Give it to me then.

00:33:15.037 --> 00:33:16.954 align:center
- Push. Push.
- You're almost there.

00:33:16.955 --> 00:33:18.581 align:center
One more giant push.

00:33:18.582 --> 00:33:19.874 align:center
Come on.

00:33:19.875 --> 00:33:22.544 align:center
Push!

00:33:45.108 --> 00:33:47.944 align:center
Is he okay?

00:33:47.945 --> 00:33:50.489 align:center
- He's perfect.
- He's so beautiful.

00:33:51.198 --> 00:33:54.117 align:center
Mom, can you believe it?

00:33:54.660 --> 00:33:56.118 align:center
I did it.

00:33:56.119 --> 00:33:57.454 align:center
You did it, noodle.

00:33:58.121 --> 00:33:59.956 align:center
Yes.

00:33:59.957 --> 00:34:01.792 align:center
- My baby.
- You've done it.
