Don't stay in a rotting relationship, Ann.
Yeah, you just got to rip it off like a band-aid.
You get in there, and you scream at each other, and then you split up the CDs, and then you get out.
Bing, bang, boom.
Otherwise it gets ugly.
Right, well, the differences is that we're adults.

Don't tell me how to live Just tell me I'm alright Just shut up Why do I ask you anyway The Veronicas, Related Theme Song Good morning, good morning.
Good morning.
You're missing the best part of the day.
- What time is it? - 7:15.
Please tell me that the house is on fire.
What? For the love of God, why would you wake somebody up at 7:15 if the house isn't on fire? I overheard you on the phone last night.
Excuse me? And I heard you make a ten o'clock business meeting so - I know how important your job is, to you.
- No, Renee.
And then I remembered there's no alarm clock in this room so I thought I'd make sure that you got up in time to get showered and get dressed, and put on your face before you have your meeting.
I mean nobody likes to be rushed in the morning.
I do! Yeah, I do.
And you know what, here's the thing Renee.
Even if I didn't, I would have 16 hours to put on my face because that business meeting is not at ten o'clock in the morning, all right? It's at ten o'clock tonight! P.
M.
! And on top of that, it's not even a business meeting.
It's a date.
And, you know what? What the hell, while we're being honest it's not even so much a date.
It's just a couple of drinks followed by 30 to hopefully 45 minutes of just tremendously acrobatic sex! How do you like your pancakes? French roast? Not close arabian moka.
I'm sorry, was I that too loud? No, I smelled the coffee No better way to wake up.
So how did the opening go? Minor refrigeration crisis but - I think that was spectacular.
- See? - I told you you'd be a hit.
- Thanks.
Why didn't you wake me? Ann it was kinda really late.
You know, sooner or later we're going to have to talk.
We don't see each other and there're things we need to work out.
Logistics.
Can I ask you one thing, I mean I know that we're breaking up and stuff but Do you still love me? I'll always love you.
Wow! That hurts.
Okay.
- Ann - No no no, it's okay.
We'll do this later when you've got time.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
Okay.
Okay, it's gonna be late once so don't wait up.
Right.
Okay my love I've got bagels from Zabar's.
I've bought scones from patisserie.
I have got pop tarts from the corner shop behind the block.
Oh honey - you are the best.
- I know.
Don't I keep telling you that.
And the greatest thing to come out of England since No.
- Colin Firth.
- No! Please, are you kidding me? Colin bloody Firth again with him, with that mopy face and pinched-up poshed-up.
Oh he's so cute.
Okay, sports and styles per-view.
I'm too perfect.
It is, isn't it? Is this like the perfect sunday or what? - Are you ok? - Yeah.
I'm just gonna I'm gonna get some air.
Carry on.
Oh yeah.
You're really dropping Pre-med? I don't look at it that way, it's not much that I'm dropping Pre-med as I'm picking something else up.
How did your dad take the news? My dad? He's still sort of ticking it.
- You haven't told him yet? - No I told him.
And then I avoided him.
Why? Your dad seems like a pretty cool guy.
He is, he's just Marjee was such a screw-up, I had to be good.
I've never disappointed him before and that feels awful.
Well, I guess you can't really blame the guy from being concerned.
What's that supposed to mean? You know, he's your father and he loves you and he just wants what's best for you.
What's best for me? Maybe it turns out I actually know what's best for me.
And maybe what's best for me is that I don't look back on my life in 30 years when I'm a miserable and unhappy dermatologist and if regret not taking a stand now when I'm in college and I'm 19 and the whole world open to me maybe that's what's best for me.
Geez! Wow, excellent projecting by the way, you are gonna kick ass in theater.
You know what that was? Was it last night This wasn't just morning sickness.
This was a wake-up call.
Yeah it was a wake-up call, especially for that poor woman on the sidewalk and her little dog.
Life as we know it is about to change, Bob.
But I bought bagels! Thirty four.
That's how many sunday New York Times we have left before the baby arrives.
Come on sweetheart.
Come on that's quite a few isn't it? No, it's not Bob.
It's not a few.
I mean, what are we gonna do? I don't know but but it's nearly eleven o'clock so we could take a nap.

Go back to sleep.
Another mile and a half and I'm out of your hair.
- Hey! - What's up? Oh no! Who's that? - The guy with the - I know who you're talking about.
His name is Alex Brody and the best thing you can do right now is avert your eyes.
Seriously, don't fall for the cliché.
Too late Ginnie, I have to admin, I feel ridiculous.
Oh, come on it's fun, play long.
I know it's blind date and all that but really people are gonna think it's some kind of Mob thing.
- You're taking me to Jersey to be executed.
- Oh don't worry, I only have an hour and a half for lunch, having you whacked in Jersey'll take all afternoon.
Go! We're going back to basics to relieve you of any bad habits you may have picked up over the summer.

86th floor.
Observatory deck.

- That means you! - We're here.
Let's go.
- Yeah goodbye.
What? You go.
You go 'cause I'm lovely here, I love it in here.
What? What no, you can't see anything from there.
What's there to see really Ginnie, I mean it's a bunch of rooftops ain't it.
I've seen what a rooftop looks like, I know what a rooftop looks like.
- Bob, what is the matter? - Oh yeah! - We get a few of these a year.
- Few of what? - Agoraphobic.
- Agora what? I think we better get this coming down to the lobby.
You're staying or going? You go and enjoy the view darling.
Enjoy the view darling.
I swear to god she thinks I'm 18 years old.
In the morning she makes me smiley face pancakes.
Smiley face pancakes? She uses little strawberries for eyes and bacon for the mouth, and I don't even know what she uses for the hair but this scary-ass pancake they smile at you every single morning.
It doesn't sound that bad.
Aside from the listening on your phone conversation.
I really think that she's afraid of silence.
The other day, I go into the bathroom, right, just to have a moment to myself, and within two seconds, she's banging on the door : "Marjee are you all right in there? Do you have a urinary tract infection? Does it burn when you pee?" Hey at least she cares.
You know you have someone to talk to And we're back to you.
What? No, I mean I'm just trying to get you inside to your future stepmother but you wanna talk about Danny.
- Go, please go.
- I don't.
- Why? What happened? - Nothing.
Nothing? I thought we covered this.
You were supposed to do, you know, off like a band-aid you didn't have a conversation? I did.
- Well I started to - But? But - then I asked him if he still loved me.
- What? Ann, no that is the wrong conversation, why would you ask him that? - I wanna know, I want an answer.
- No you don't.
You think that you do, but trust me you do not wanna know.
God, you're so bad at this.
Oh, well excuse me for not being a certified expert in ending relationships.
You wanna know what went wrong? Okay, huh Pick one : You're too controling, he's too demanding, he can't confront, you're sexually incompatible, you never like the same movies, he always like the same movies, he wants to read in bed and you wanna watch Oprah.
Ann, do yourself a favor and wrap it up.
Move on.
- I can't believe this.
- What? I can't believe I'm having a baby with a man who's afraid of heights.
- Why does that matter darling? - What is the matter? - Yeah.
- What is the matter? - Yeah.
- It matters.
It matters.
It matters because because we live in a city of tall buildings and we are having a baby, and What if the baby's pediatrician is on the top floor of one of the High rises? Darling? Oh I promise I won't look at the windows 'cause it's not like I'm gonna take the baby up to admire the view.
And, worse comes to worst, we find another doctor.
A doctor with a really tiny little building.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Tell me this, what happens when baby gets older and we take the baby to Connie Island and he or she wants to go into ferris wheel, what then? Then darling you're gonna have to take the baby on the ferris wheel.
Okay, okay, tell me this, tell me this what happens what happens when the baby gets stuck in a tree? The baby gets stuck in a tree Yeah.
Darling, how did the baby get stuck in a tree? - Ooh, did the dog chase the baby up a tree? - It doesn't matter, Bob.
The baby our baby is in a tree! What are you going to do? All right okay.
Then I guess you are gonna have to climb the tree and get our baby down, darling.
- I have to climb? - Yeah! - I have to climb? - Yes! - I can't climb trees Bob! - Can't you? I cannot do everything.
You know what Sir, I'm gonna be late so I'm just gonna get out walk here okay? And listen, don't take him up on any hills because he's afraid of heights.
I can't believe that they They don't We're having a baby.
Is this a bad time, cause you said mornings were better.
No, it's fine.
Excuse me.
We can get through this pretty quickly, I made a list.
You know, some bullet points.
- Great.
- Uh, first, obviously, is the appartment and who's gonna stay.
- You should.
Really? 'Cause we can discuss it if you want.
Annie, I mean I'm hardly ever there, you work out of the place.
Okay, great, well, you did pay to have the living room painted so I can reimburse you.
Who's that? Who's who? It's our hostess, she's started this week.
- Why? - Nothing.
Okay, uh, well we have to discuss when we're going to divide up the stuff you know, and there's that luggage that we both bought.
Does she have a name? Who? Megan? Megan, just plain Megan.
Megan the hostess I don't remember, what is the matter? I'm just wondering why Megan, the smoking hot hostess, keeps looking over here.
I didn't realize she was your type.
Are you kidding me? I don't know why she keeps looking over here, I'm guessing 'cause we're in a middle of a fight.
We weren't in a middle of a fight until she started looking over here.
- We've been fighting for months just because - Oh this is great you're going to lecture me on my relationship? I have done nothing wrong here.
All I'm guilty of is hiring a hostess, I'm not sleeping with her, I'm not dating her.
She lives with her boyfriend.
And why do you even know that? What was that, like the first question you asked her? No, it what are you looking for here? Tell me you're sleeping with your hostess.
That I can understand.
You know, that makes sense to me.
Or that you hooked up with your old college girlfriend or that I'm not smart enough and you grew bored, or that I intimidated you, tell me that you changed or that I changed.
Tell me something you know, because I don't - It's ok.
- No, it's not.
- Come on, you wanna talk this - I don't.
Oh Marjee was right.
- Annie come on let's go in the back - No.
I'm going home, I'm going to pack up as much of your stuff as I possibly can.
I'll be out of the house between 8 and 10 tonight and you can come and get your stuff then okay? Fine Ann Annie! I don't want to make you jealous or anything but guess who sprouted some multi celluloid cole in the lab yesterday? Beat that kind of excitment in your little theater program.
- You're a guy, right? - Oh ok, I'm not quite seeing how you made a link there but yes.
Yes I am, quite a guy in fact.
How does a guy show he's interested in a girl? Well, um, since we're all exactly alike, we uh we blink three times and unzip.
Forget it.
Wait hey, come on, I'm sorry.
No, obviously talking about this makes you uncomfortable like you're sharing State secrets or something.
No, that's not it, it's just Okay Okay you want State secrets? Here's the rule of Tom.
And don't shoot the messenger here, but if you don't know if he's interested, either he doesn't want you to know, or he's not interested.
We're not that complicated.
But it is complicated! - See there was this guy in class yesterday - Ok I need a name.
Why? Just makes it easier for me to make fun of him if I've got a name.
- Alex - Alex.
We were doing this exercise where he'd acted as if he was really into me I mean, really into me.
Well that shouldn't take a whole lot of acting.
And the moment the exercise was over, it was like he flipped a switch and I ceased to exist.
One second he's staring into my soul and the next, he's out the door.
So any thoughts? You have to flirt with the guy.
I mean, you know that you're adorable and irresistible when you wanna be.
Flirt with him? Yeah, if he flirts back, he wants you.
I don't know, I'm not so good with the flirting and stuff.
Well, we could practice.
Oh my god, I gotta go, my sisters are They're stopping by to see my room.
No way! Is the hot one coming? Which one's the hot one? Inside voice joke.
- Yeah, bye.
- Right.
Hang in there, baby! I'm not crazy, it's weird, right? Yeah I don't get it.
I think she thinks it's ironic.
How is that ironic? Either that or she put it up there to make fun of me.
Ok I don't even know this girl and I'm starting to hate her.
You're at home a lot.
Have you heard dad say anything about not paying my tuition? - What? - For school.
No Rose, I don't hear anything, I'm in that house to eat and sleep, but that's it, I really just I try not to engage.
Sorry I'm late.
I overslept.
- Are you ok, you look so - I'm exhausted! I was up all night, Bob and I had a huge fight yesterday.
Come on, let's go see the dorm.
Come on! So it's all theater students, which is great except for when you wanna do your laundry and you take someone else's stuff to the dryer.
Total drama queens! I show you where the washing machines are.
- What was the fight about? - I know what is interesting.
Bob revealed out of nowhere, get this : that he's afraid of heights.
- Seriously? - Yeah, and then he tells me if our baby got stuck in a tree - that he wouldn't go get it.
- God, that's so Bob! Textful Bob, textful! It's like - how did Ann describe him the other day? - Wait a minute, you guys talk about Bob behind my back? - A manchild, that's what she said, a manchild! - The perfect manchild! What, wait You guys think Bob is great, right? Oh, he is, he's great.
He's great, on the ultimate freesbee field or like if you need to learn a new drinking game, he's really good at that, but you're gonna have a kid with the guy, you know, obviously you have some concerns.
You don't know what the hell you're talking about Hey, you're the one who just had an argument with the perfect manchild about a baby that hasn't even been born yet.
Ginnie! Obviously you have some concerns.
Stay out of my head, I love the dorm Rose.
Bye! We love you.
Bob? Bob! Picnic in our park Come find me - So what's with the poster? - What? The kitten in the tree? It's ironic.
"Hang in there, baby!" Still don't get it.
Oh, look, here's your boyfriend.
Hey Alex, over here.
- What's the matter with you? - You gotta confront things head on.
- What're you guys up to? - Nothing much, causing trouble.
So I'm heading downtown tonight, gonna hear my roommate's band.
You guys in? - Sure.
- Absolutely.
What about you? I don't know.
Please.
No! Please.
No.
Okay, see you guys.
Hang in there, baby! Bob? Ginnie! Bob! Ginnie you got the note, you got the note! - What the hell are you doing? - One second darling, one second What what is that? It's really life-like isn't it? Apparently, if you put water in her belly she wets herself, isn't that great darling? All right.
Lovely, all right.
- Please don't tell me - Please darling, I'm concentrating.
All right Bob, no! Come on, don't be silly.
Just just don't! Bob, please you don't have to do this.
Yes I do honey because you were right, uh there is a chance, hopefully a microscopic one that our baby at some point in his or her formative years would get lodged in a tree.
Oh Bob! Hey, I got it, I did it, I did it! You gotta have a little bit of faith darling.
There are so many things I don't know about being a parent.
So much I've gotta learn.
Listen to me The best thing I have ever done in my whole life is marry you.
Really? And I do have faith and you don't have to prove anything to me.
Could you have told me that earlier? I'm sorry.
All right we're an equal opportunity university so you have to play both sides of the coin.
Begin.
Please.
No! Please.
No.
Please? No! Please! No! Please No.
And scene.
Good job.
I've really believed you wanted me.
Cute pyjamas.
Is that make the match? What are you doing? - I'm making the bed.
- Why? I don't understand the question.
- Who asked you to make my bed? - Nobody, but I know how busy you are and you know what they say : "There's nothing like getting into a well-made bed.
" Who says that? What? Renee That's not even a saying.
Okay but really who likes to get into an unmade bed? I do! Ok, I like it when my sheets are all rumbled and my blankets are untucked and please do not fluff my pillows! Are you all right? Maybe you're coming down with something let me feel your No the only thing wrong with me is you! Me? Look, it's not just the bed, okay? And it's not just the milk and the cookies.
- You don't like the milk and the cookies? Or the exercises in the morning, or the little smiley-face pancakes or the complete and total lack of privacy, Renee! I don't wanna be woken up in the morning okay? And I just I really don't want to be tucked in at night.
Listen, uh I left home because I was an adult.
And I just more than anything I wanted my own place and obviously that didn't work out so well and now I am back in the room that I grew up in and I know that you mean well, I really do so please don't take this the wrong way but it's just every time you open your mouth, it just makes me realize how terribly terribly wrong my life has gone.
Get some sleep.
- Danny, it's not 8 yet, you were supposed to - We need to talk.
I ment what I said this afternoon, you can get your stuff when I'm gone.
What was that scene in the restaurant? Am I supposed to pretend that never happened? Fine, you're not going then I'm out.
- Wait.
- Let go.
You think you're the only one that's got questions? I don't, not anymore! You were the big mystery in this relationship.
Not me! You backed away.
- Don't say that.
- It's true.
You had all of this stuff going on, I gave you space.
Don't make this about the restaurant, about our busy lives.
You wanna know what I think? I think you got as close as you could.
Me? Here's what I was wondering this afternoon.
When did we stop going to bed at the same time? Well I can't give you a date, but I tell you, it was months before I ever got involved with the restaurant.
You gave me a lot of space Ann I guess I thought that you'd always be there, you know, like Like one of your sisters.
Please go.
It wasn't just you.
Things were falling apart all around us and I just let it happen.
I knew from the beginning that you had these walls around your heart and I just thought that I could knock'em down.
After six years, I just I don't know I stopped trying.
I'm sorry.
You just changed Annie, that's what happened.
Yeah.
- I can't believe it's over.
- Me neither.
I know that one.
That is Gold-coast espresso blend, right? There's some creme in the fridge but I think that the milk's gone bad.
Oh my god, I'm screwed.
I'm I'm screwed.
I'm screwed! God! Is there any way that we could possibly reschedule? No that's great, that's perfect, ok Ok this afternoon, fantastic.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Ok, I'll see you then, bye.
Come on Joe, she's your daughter, it's not my place to tell you how to handle her.
I know she's my daughter.
I'm just asking for your advice.
What would you do? Rose is a good kid.
You want my advice? Pay her tuition and leave her alone.
You never know what'll happen.
- Yeah, that'll - Let me finish.
And once a week remind yourself of what a lucky man you are because she's happy.
- Hey.
- Hey honey, you're up early.
Yeah, I figured out how to start earning my keep around here so who wants breakfast? I'm cooking.
I didn't know what you used for the hair so I put some - Parsley.
- Yeah You put parsley on my pancakes? Quiet Joe, it looks delicious.
Mine looks like Karl Rove.
Eat your breakfast.
Marjee later on this morning I was thinking about taking a power walk? - Would you have any interest in - Absolutely not! Where're you going? Uh, I've got a phone call to make.
