Hey, would I look good with bangs?

Of course. I wouldn't want them in your eyes. Well, I never had them before,

right? You had lots of baby hair.

Did they look good?

You were a baby.

I just need to change something.

I've never done anything with my hair, so I'm just trying to picture how I

look. Can you send pictures of the baby hair?

Yeah.

I could send you some pictures of your mom, too. She had bangs in college.

She did?

Yeah.

I'll look.

All right, thank you.

I'm at work, so I'm going to go. I love you, though.

Bye. Love you.

I was looking for you.

Where?

On your desk in the bathroom.

Have you ever had bangs?

I'm a 30 -year -old human girl, so... Right.

I've never had them, so I'm thinking about doing that. What do you think

that? Well, anyone who's asking about bangs should be asked if they're okay

first. Don't worry about that. I'm not.

What? Yeah, just want to shake things up, perhaps.

Okay, well, then.

I look forward to seeing them.

Really, though? Yeah, it makes me wish I knew how to cut hair. I would do it

myself.

I don't really like that.

What if they look so terrible, though?

Well, then you become a beanie girl.

I've just been feeling like...

A fragile sculpture that doesn't want to be touched because then I'll be knocked

over and break and then I'll have to start over, but I feel hollow and I

know how to unfeel that.

So you got a new hat?

I got a new haircut.

Oh, well.

I'm gonna kill myself.

Don't, it's not...

Should I not go to the fair?

No, you should.

Harp, you in there? Yeah.

What are you doing?

Taking a tub.

Taking a tub? I'm in the bath.

Tub.

Why is the door locked?

Because it's out of habit.

Okay.

Chocolate ice cream.

Hi. I hope I'm your last call tonight.

No, I appreciate you calling. I don't think I could have waited. Sorry.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

I'll have to think about that.

Okay. Yeah.

Thank you for calling so late. I'll just call the office tomorrow.

Okay. Bye. What's going on?

Apparently there's a high possibility of an issue.

What issue?

Down syndrome.

So he wants to be sure that it is not.

But I guess the only way to do that is an amniocentesis. And I've heard that's

dangerous for its baby.

He said Down syndrome. Yeah. I mean, you know, I'm 38.

So are you shocked?

Yeah, I'm shocked. Of course I'm shocked.

Is it the end of the world for you?

No, it's not the end of the world. It's just extremely upsetting. Yeah, I'm not

saying it's not upsetting. But, you know, he said it's consistent. The tests

consistent with Down syndrome. He didn't say it's for sure.

Then we'll find out.

No, we're going to decide if we want to know. Because if we do, that means

poking around in there. That's going to hurt my baby.

Wait. And need to know. Why?

Why?

Why?

Gianna's just insecure because you're smarter than her.

Gianna got her GED at Oxford, and I'm working with a build -your -own -degree

from Occidental.

Don't do that.

She's a miserable person.

That's why she's like that.

You okay?

Okay, I love you.

Let's talk later.

Tell Kate I love her.

Bye.

Sorry about that. We couldn't decide if we should have moved.

Yeah, you figured you would have just moved if you wanted some privacy.

My cousin has Don syndrome.

It's Down syndrome.

That's what I said.

You said Don.

The fuck is Don syndrome? You got Don syndrome.

Hi. Hey, where are you?

I came home from work early.

Thanks for answering.

Dude, stop acting like I haven't picked up a call or a text.

You haven't called or texted me either.

Okay, well, I was just about to.

Why? The same reason you are. To tell you we should go home this weekend.

Not so.

Remember when you were a kid and you believed me when I said we bought a

pistachio farm?

Yeah.

It was just like the most down -to -work -on -a -farm -with -you -forever.

And even rushing to work on time.

I see the red sky.

You always ask me why.

I find myself on corners.

Every once in a while.

You're a big old cat.

You try.

Lie on the ground Kiss on the mouth

it should swallow me And pitch me above the waves

She has to make a huge decision about a massive procedure, and we're, like,

pulling up here past midnight. She's explaining to us how the shower works

helping us blow up an air mat. She did not have to do that. I didn't ask her

the shower works. I'm not even showering yet. Yeah, but she's going to be a good

host, Hal. I'm just saying we shouldn't... Did you pack ear things?

What? Wabs.

What are they called? No, Q -tips. I don't have those. Okay, well, fuck me. I

feel like a dumbass. I don't want to stay here all weekend. We should leave

tomorrow. No, dude, I'm not leaving tomorrow.

This isn't our deal, dude. This isn't our responsibility.

Dude, what ha... What happens if Kate and Dad are old and die?

We have to be a part of these conversations. We have to tell them that

here and that we support them. We don't even know if the baby has downs.

What is that?

I mean... What? What? What's this?

The baby's... She's old. That doesn't mean anything.

We've got babies super old now.

That's like Dad's semen.

I don't really want to think about Dad's old semen right now.

Were you looking for something?

Yeah, I'm really craving cereal and milk. We have, um,

Bunch O' Crunch or whatever.

Bunch O' Crunch is a candy.

Yeah, it's not like that. You'll see.

What is it?

Honey Bunches of Oats! Honey Bunches of Oats.

Hey, this is the best cereal of all time. Well, your dad likes it.

Oh, thank you. There you go.

Enjoy.

What are you doing up so late?

I unload the dishwasher when I can't sleep. Kate, can I help you?

Sorry, I can't sleep.

Sure. We'll take it.

We all stack there.

Thanks. Hal, you can probably eat your cereal in our room.

I'm all posted up.

Kate, I'm so sorry that we're here. I don't know why we ambushed you like

Hal is, like, chomping cereal so fucking loudly in your kitchen after what I'm

sure has been such a rough...

Crazy day for you. That's very sweet. It's totally okay. I know you guys are

just worried about your dad. Yeah, but that doesn't mean we should have driven

here. Well, you're here.

Look,

your dad is definitely the loudest chomper in the house right now.

I'm going to go to bed.

Good night, you guys. Get some rest.

Good night.

Good night.

Yes, dude.

Yeah.

Okay, well, I don't know why.

Well, then you're a fucking idiot.

Okay, well, then you're a fucking really not nice person, then.

Did you sleep at all? I've been really abusing melatonin lately.

That's super alarming.

I think a chocolate bagel would be good.

She want to feel like a little baby.

She want to feel like a little dance baby.

Stop. Stop.

Blame it on the tonin. I know it's not entirely right.

I don't want my baby poked by a needle.

They'll guide the needle with ultrasound. The most common injury is a

the placenta, which usually heals without a problem. Yeah. Well, I'm not

about that.

Don't be worried about your baby. Okay. When a baby is performed by a highly

trained doctor, the risk of miscarriage is like one in a thousand. Our guy is

highly trained, right?

Sally, if our baby does have Down syndrome, we're still going to have the

So, I mean, it's hard to make sense of even the smallest possibility of

something happening.

I'll never tell anyone how to parent. These are the tough decisions. All I'll

say is if the test shows your baby may be born with a serious problem, you guys

can use the information to plan.

Okay, thank you.

I want to trust my friend, and I want to know about our baby.

Let's do the MEO, and then if we find out the baby's disabled, then...

Then

we find out we plan.

All the socially imposed weight would be lifted.

Are you tired?

I'm going to love you.

Did you look up showtimes?

Remember when we had to look up showtimes in the newspaper?

Oh, that's not an answer to my question.

I'm just saying.

Hey. Hi.

We got way too many bagels.

Hey, we didn't know what kind of bagel you wanted, so we just got every single

kind. Wow, you really did. That's so sweet. I love poppy seeds. Do you guys

to see a movie today?

I really want to see Mission Impossible Top Gun. Like a Tom Cruise doubleheader?

No, it's literally neither of those movies. It's just a Tom Cruise movie.

You know, I actually think a movie sounds like a great idea. Woo!

Sayonara.

Did we slap my fucking ass off?

Were you asleep the whole time? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, you were both out.

Were you asleep?

No, I was just thinking about 1 ,200 other things during the movie. Okay,

all I was thinking about was Tom Cruise inventing acting in front of my eyes. I

couldn't be more awake right now.

Good night, Harper.

Good night.

That was

out of character.

Kind of.

I don't think you realize how much she loves you guys.

I was feeling really bad about being here.

I should mention that.

I never want you guys to feel like you need to come here to check on me.

That being said, Kate and I always really love having you here.

I like his wife sometimes.

Very good.

But I haven't lately because we haven't been talking.

But I really miss him.

You guys will figure it out. I'm not worried about you.

There's more to life than family.

A kid with Down syndrome might always be closest to their family.

You really knock me out sometimes.

The thing about having a disabled kid is they really demand.

You really got to go to them.

You got to meet them where they are every day.

What's making you cry?

I didn't call you guys like that.

You really had to grow up way too fast.

Sorry for not talking to you.

I understood.

I'm really sorry too.

Seems like that was highly dangerous, what you just did. Holding hands is more

important than not crashing.

You really had to grow up and raise you fast.

Why not you?

Why marry the

night?

What dreams become concrete? They make you try.

I want it all.

I want it all.
