And it wouldn't Actually kill the baby

For me to leave The house, would it?

No one said you couldn't Leave the house.

You did, if it was To see a movie.

Oh, I really Wouldn't worry if--

To see a war movie, Sure, with, like,

Wall-to-wall bombs going off.

Not to mention The gallon of cola You would've had.

The health guy is Doing a spot check In 40 minutes.

Which reminds me, I've gotta push off

That life-insurance Physical again.

And then, after that, The merchant association

Wants a planning session Because I went Temporarily insane.

And you can Stop smiling,

Or you can Go to the doctor And spread 'em.

You sound like Some old guy here,

Like you're about To start grousing about Your pension or something.

Which is kind of funny, 'cause, I mean, have you Seen that...

Chrome peeking Through your dome up there?

Chrome? My dome...

My--what, my--my hair?

Yeah. Maybe it's Just the light,

But it's Definitely lookin'...

A little thin up there.

Where's a...

So I was thinking, Human sexuality,

That's just Reproductive bio. I've done that.

What about...Right here?No, it's fine.

It's just kind of Growing in a swirl.

Anyway, The professor knows that We all feel this way,

So right off the bat, It's the taboo stuff,

Like, "Here's 20 ways Why men and women are Not created equal."

Check the front.

H-how about the front? Check the front.

And did you know--

Hey, wait.

Is that...

Gray! Is that-- Is this gray hair?

No, bailey. It's blond. Anyway...

So, they were saying, For instance,

That a woman's Sexual prime is at 35, But a man's--

Well, guess When yours is.

I don't know.

39?

Then, what?

30?

25?

21?

Less than 20?

19.

What?

What--and then What does it do,

Like, level off For a couple decades or...

Wait. When was This thing published?

I was in the kitchen Getting some food.

You came in The back?

We hung out at dusty's.

Her band came over and Tried out a couple new songs.

Huh.

That must be fun,

Hanging out In some smoky garage, Rockin' out.

I guess.So, uh...

They practice With amps?

I don't know.

Sometimes. Why?

No reason.

Just, that kind Of stuff must drive The neighbors crazy.

Why don't you Just say it, ok?

Loud music and smoke-- It's bad for the baby, Right?

Isn't that What you're saying?

No. I didn't. I'm just...

I'm just curious, Is all.

Ohh...

Daphne, What's the matter?

I can't...

I can't ask About your friends?

Why would you?

You think they're A bunch of losers.

Daphne, come on.

We're...

We're living Together here.

I mean, we're...

We're together, Aren't we?

I don't know. Are we?

What is that Supposed to mean?

It means...

Do you know why I said yes to you, charlie,

When you asked me To have this baby?

It was you.

There was this look In your eye.

It was how badly You wanted it,

And it was how badly I wanted to give it to you.

I mean, we used to have So much fun, charlie.

You were this hot, Easygoing guy,

And I don't...

I don't know What I was expecting this To be like.

I knew it wasn't Gonna be easy.

But this morning When I tried to...

Remember how I got here,

I couldn't.

Because all those reasons That made me want to say yes...

I don't know Where they went.

I'm gonna, um...

I'm gonna sleep Downstairs tonight.

Is this how you Pictured this place,

You know, this quad, These people's...

Everybody Being a couple?

Well, I kind of Thought there'd be More bell-bottoms,

But that's about it.

'cause me,

I had, like, this Vivid mental picture

Of every person here,

And--and I had This mental picture Of me with them.

But platonically.

Well, of course, yeah.

But...Now...

Now I look around, And nobody's who They're supposed to be.

And what about you? Are you still you?

Well, that's the thing.

I'm--I'm not sure. You know?

I mean, I still Sort of know what I want to do here,

With my work and The extracurriculars And whatever,

But...

How it's gonna happen And with who...

I don't know.

I thought I knew, You know?

But I--I don't.

I--I have no clue.

Well, look...

Ned and I Are heading for coffee.

Why don't you blow off The course catalog and come?

Oh.

Uh...

Heh. No.

Thanks.

Um, I have to redo

This pathetic Creative writing sample,

Make it more, You know, not pathetic.

But I'll--I'll See you at the freshman Mixer thing later.

Hey. Hmm.

Good morning.

Come on. Sit.

Sit, sit, sit,

And eat.

Wait. Bacon.

Isn't that, Like, nitrates Or something?

Hey, my mom Raised me on this junk.

It's not gonna kill Our baby, either, right?

Go on, eat. Chow down.

What's wrong With you?

Nothing.

I'm completely myself.

I am...The me That I used to be,

The me that I should Have never stopped being.

Charlie, you don't Have to do this.

I'm not trying To make you--

No. I know. I know.

But, um, last night, When you left...

I couldn't sleep, So instead of counting sheep,

I counted the times We played air puck.

It was, um, it was 6.

You know how many times We've played air puck Since you got pregnant?

Zero. Zip.

I mean, that-- That's not right, daphne.

You're really good At air puck.

Thanks.

So, obviously, Something has to give.

I mean, we have to take A vacation from this whole-- This whole parent thing,

Like...

Starting today.

Today?

I called and canceled The hospital tour that we had,

So whatever you want to do, The day is wide open.

Wow, charlie.

Um, but, I mean, I kind of already Made plans for today.

You did? But how'd you--

I mean, didn't you know We had the hospital thing?

Oh, I know you did, But I wasn't planning On going.

You're the mom here. What's the point of me going--

But, I mean, why should I go if I'm just gonna Go in there,

Have the baby, And then leave?

I mean, hospitals...

Right. No, you're right. It's ok.

But you could come With me to this thing If you wanted to.

I mean, it's just A bunch of strippers.

Or I could bag it.

No. No.

No. You should go.

You should go. That's, um...

That was the point Of this, anyway.

Look at the monkey.

Say ahh.

Ahhhh...

Bailey, I think We need to talk.

Am I gonna flunk For my insurance thingy?

Oh, no, no, I think You'll be fine.

Then is it my tonsils, Dr. Bob?

You don't have Any tonsils, fella.

We took 'em out When you were 8.

Doctor?

Annabelle's scared To have a shotter.

She won't come out Of the poo-poo room.

I'll be right there.

So then what is it?

Did I blow the hearing test?

'cause I missed a couple Of chickadee-dees,

But come on, The way those kids Were screaming out there?

No, it's not that.

You just have A 10% loss in your Left upper register.

10%?

I've lost 10%?

It's nothing, really. Hmm.

"Hmm"? What is-- What "Hmm"?

Blood pressure's A little high For someone your age.

Well-- Nothing to worry about.

No big deal.

Just something To keep an eye on.

Well, so then what's The problem, dr. Bob?

You're giving me The willies here.

I've been your doctor For 20 years, bailey.

That's a very long time.

Nuh-uh. It's not-- It's not that long.

I think it's time You got yourself A grown-up doctor,

A regular g.P.,

Someone who deals More with the issues A man your age can face.

My age?

But...

What if I don't want to?

What if I like you, Dr. Bob?

Have a lolly.

You'll be fine.

Hi. Um, can I buy Some change off you For my meter?

No problem.

I'm kind of desperate. I'm running a little late. Thanks.

He's, like, so mad.

He's, like, Red in the face, And then he goes,

"Lady, I'm gonna have To ask you to leave!

And your shirt, And your bra..."

Here's your change. Here you go.

Oh, thanks. Thanks. Bye-bye.

"They're not Welcome either,"

And I was, like, "Oh, my god, What am I gonna do?!"

When are the speeches?

I wrote this Whole stupid limerick 'cause you said--

I--hey.

Should we get started With dessert?

Yeah. No problem. She'll be here.

She's probably Just trying to park.

I didn't see Any spaces For miles.

It's an applet That takes you

Straight to our web page As soon as you log on.

We have a web page?

Yeah. I--I just Got it done.

You click on the violin For your box

And the, uh, lectern For mine.

You know, Just to stay in touch.

I really need For you to read this,

Because I have This nagging feeling That it sucks.

Sorry I'm late.

It took me longer To park than it did To drive here.

Ah, I know. I mean, I wonder If daphne's ok.

It's not like She can park And then walk 20 blocks.

Maybe I should Go check it out.

No, she's ok. I mean, um...

You don't Have to worry.

I mean, I saw her.

You saw her? Where?

Uh...

So, what was The first day like?

Or was it-- Was it really creepy?

It was fine.

In fact, there's A party thing tonight,

This, uh, freshman Get-to-know-each-other thing,

With a band and dancing.

Wow. Yeah.

It sounds great.

I mean, I...

I sort of had This fantasy of us...

I don't know, spending My last night here

Together In our old room, but...

Forget it, claud. Forget the party. I'd much rather be with you.

Much. Really?

Yeah.

Hi. Claudia, I'm sorry I'm late.

Hi. That's ok.

I'm such a space.

Well, you're In a good mood.

Come here For a second.

So what'd I miss? Pretty much everything, Huh? I guess.

What is the matter With you?

What's the matter with me? What do you mean?

Claud's last night In the city, and you Miss the whole thing?

Claudia, are there Some more presents You need to open?

I'm sorry. I'm said I'm sorry.

What--what is going Through your head?

I mean, what are You thinking about?

I just lost track Of time, ok?

I was having fun, For, like, the first Time in months!

It's not just The time, daphne.

All right, 90 minutes late Because you were drinking?

What? Who are you--uhh--

I had a little wine, ok? A little wine.

And who's to say I can't drink In moderation?

I say it, all right? Oh, really? Is that so?

That's never Gonna happen again.

Don't Push it, charlie, I'm warning you!

Is that why You're doing this, To test me?

I don't have to Listen to this.

Daphne, Wait a minute.

You can't just--

Daphne, come back here.

Uh...

No more presents To open. Ok?

Wh--you know,

Now would Be a perfect time For the limerick.

Sarah?

A-are you kidding me? Right now?

Right now.

Ok. Uh...

It was--it was meant to-- To make you guys laugh.

Ahem.

There once was a girl Name of claud...

You ok?

Who played fiddle so well We were awed.

No. No, I'm not.

But now she plays For a whole new crowd.

She better start Bowing it extra loud...

I got a big problem Here, don't I?

'cause we still Want to hear her play,

Even though She's a continent away.

You know what I was Thinking about last night?

Hmm?

I've been alive 16 years,

And...That whole time,

I've only ever had 3 rooms.

Owen's and the tent and...

Here.

God.

Owen's room. I was in there, too.

I don't even Remember that.

Me neither.

Which means that...

For almost All of growing up, the place That I fell asleep was...

This place...

Looking up At this ceiling.

Listening to me Snore next to you.

How am I supposed to be Happy there, jule...

When...There's nothing Around me that I recognize

And--and there's All these new people

Who just think of me As god knows what?

That's...

It's not Gonna be that way.

You're gonna meet Nice people.

You're gonna get to know That place in no time.

But what if I hate it?

I mean, what if All I can think of is home?

Well, I highly doubt That'll happen.

But if it does, Guess what.

All that stuff you're Scared of missing--

The house and us--

It's always Gonna be here.

And thank god, 'cause it's not just You who needs it.

And when you need to,

You'll lie in your bed And you'll think Of us together.

We've spent A lot of time like this Together, you and me.

It ought to be Pretty easy For you to picture.

Actually...

If there was any way I could pack this ceiling...

I would.

I stayed at dusty's.

Fine. I'm not asking you--

I drank Lots of water.

I didn't Have any coffee.

You don't have to explain Anything to me. I'm not...

That's not what I want.

Well, there's gotta Be something, charlie,

'cause you stayed Out here all night To see me.

No, I didn't.

I got up to say Good-bye to claud.

Oh. Aren't you Supposed to be halfway To boston by now?

I asked bailey to go... 'cause I wanted to stay here.

I thought maybe If we talked that...

I mean, what are We gonna do, daphne?

How are we Supposed to do this?

I mean, we can't just Sleep in separate rooms And avoid each other.

You're having Our baby here.

So, whatever it is You want me to do,

Even if it's just to shut up And give you some space,

You have to tell me. Ok?

And...I'll try to do it.

You should have gone With your sister.

Ok. Listen, I know we said

We'd hit the road As soon as she got in,

But claud seemed A little tweaked before,

So why don't we chill And ease her in a bit?

Which, actually, We could have A pretty fly time,

'cause they're Throwing down

This orientation bash For the kids,

With sports and games--

Oh, claudia. Hey.Hey.

You were gone for a while. Did you make some friends?

You're not gonna Believe it,

But I'm walking Down the hall, right,

And I--I hear These strings tuning,

So I--I just Started talking

To this Really friendly Viola player.

And then there's This girl

On the phone Speaking dutch,

And, well, I know Some dirty words In dutch

From that music camp I went to.

So I, like, Totally started Cracking her up,

- and it was... - great!

Well, when-when's that Orientation due?

The volleyball thing is Supposed to be starting Any minute now.

Coolio. Let's roll.

I want to Teach these prepsters How we spike that bad boy

In the native land Of v-ball.

That's... Whatever, bay.

But I was just Kind of thinking, You know,

What if you didn't?Really?

But you know what? There is this Cocktail party,

For the parents, up on The headmaster's green,

And, well, that's Really where you guys Should be going, so...

Parents?

And if you own a business, Forget financial aid.

They see corporate assets, And, boom, you must be loaded,

Never mind The bottom line.

Bailey has A business.

Was that supposed To be on claudia's Application?

I don't know. I didn't fill it out.

Because I'm not Her legal guardian.

Actually, I'm barely Older than she is.

Your car, your computer, Your clothes.

They even want to know What you life insurance Is worth,

Like maybe You'll croak just to pay Your kid's tuition.

Didn't you just get One of those policies?

Yeah. Well--

And have you gotten The friends of hanover pitch?

As if it's not enough Signing over your nest egg For tuition.

I mean, where is it written

That just because We're past our prime,

We have to be packed Into some petunia garden And fed finger sandwiches?

We were just saying The same thing, Weren't we, honey?

Ok, that's it.

That's what?

I--I need to leave.

I need hair.

I mean air. I have to leave.

Sarah. Now.

Ok.

You remember me? I brought some food To your room.

Except It wasn't for you,

'cause, uh, your name Isn't, uh, lisa.

How's it going?

Hey, you're writing Something there.

Maybe the, uh, Great american novel.

Let me ask you something?

'cause--'cause it's something That's really been Bugging me lately.

What part Of me sitting here, By myself, working,

Makes you think, "Oh, I know what she wants.

She wants me to drop What she's doing So I can hit on her."

Sorry. I didn't realize--

Even if I have A small interest

In the general idea Of dating at some time In the far distant future,

The reason you see me Working here right now

Is because I'm a student, And I'm here to study,

And if maybe you can't Understand that because You're not a student

Or because you only Think with your gonads,

Let me tell you something.

What a person like me Really wants Is for you

And all the other Walking organs In this meat market

To just let me do What I came here for.

Ok? You got that?

I got it.

...Top receiver In the pac 10,

Johnson has been shut out.

Here come montgomery!

He's at the 40, The 50...

Huh? What?

What did--

Was I just--

Did I just Pass out?

Yeah. Yeah, I went To brush my teeth. I came back here,

You looked so exhausted, I just decided To let you sleep.

Oh, my god. What is thi-- Is this drool?

Did I do this?

Bailey, it's ok. You're just jet-lagged.

But that shouldn't--

It's earlier At home.

I should be More--more awake.

Bailey, don't worry.

We'll just get up early Tomorrow morning.

No! No.

No, I'm awake. I'm awake.

Here.

We still have 8 minutes Until I'm 20.

Let's--oh, baby, You're so fine.

You make me crazy.

Claudia!

God, claud, What are you--

Remember? I said I'd come by After the party.

Ok.

Time's up.

There's the buzzer.

Did you want me To leave?

I don't know why I even bothered.

I've been over For months.

I mean, how gone am I

When my gorgeous Girlfriend is lying Half-naked on the bed

And I am so...Hairless

And high-blood-pressured And deaf that I can't even wake up

To have the last action Of my so-called prime.

But, hey! Hey, They don't call 'em

"The golden years" For nothing, right?

I mean, who--who--who Needs sex and volleyball

When you've got Early-bird specials And bingo?

And remember, don't Just pack underwear And a toothbrush.

Think Of the other things You're gonna need.

Comfortable pillow, Fruit juice for When she's hungry,

A good trashy book.

Now, I think That's about it.

Any of you interested Can come with me To admitting.

We like to pre-admit, Because that's One less thing

To worry about When the baby comes.

Well, that Was pretty cool, Don't you think?

I mean...

This place Kind of makes it Seem real.

Charlie, I can't do this.

I'm sorry?

I can't do this anymore.

This. Whatever.

What do you mean?

I'm taking my stuff, And I'm gonna stay Somewhere else.

What? You're...

What?

I'm leaving, charlie.

I'm moving out.

About this stupid Getting older stuff,

And I went Shopping for you,

And I saw this gift That was totally wrong,

You know, if things Had been different?

We would have had A great couple of months.

But then one of us Would have started taking A couple extra days

To call The other person back,

And then pretty soon, The only time we would Have seen each other

Would have been By accident.

Then I got pregnant.

And, I mean, I hardly even ever knew

A pregnant person, But ok.

And all of a sudden, We've got all this pressure,

You know, to--to--

Iron everything out.

But you want to know The truth, charlie?

Because we are not

In love with each other.
