Beeps, boops, et ceteras.
- That's fine.
- Boop.
The trace is complete.
These unknown texts have been coming from (GASPING) Inside you! Take me to the doctor.
- (DRAMATIC MUSIC) - Miss Perez It's a good thing you came to see a doctor.
You're pregnant.
What? But I haven't had sex in months.
Miss Perez.
What you're saying is not possible.
Because you are, indeed, pregnant.
No.
What you're saying is impossible, because I haven't had sex in months! I would know! Impossible? What I'm saying is impossible? Well! The Saustin School of Medical Stuff would disagree with you! Arthur G.
Ooscar, College of Online Arts and Letters would disagree with you! I guess I'm not the World's Best Dad then, either! (MUG SMASHES) Let's take it down a notch! Dude, what the hell?! My apologies.
My behavior is unbefitting of a graduate of the School of MedStu.
But the fact remains: You are pregnant.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) I'm not ready to be a mother.
I just got into college.
I want a career.
Well, sometimes what we want isn't what's best for the world.
What does that mean? You can go home, have your baby, and then go back to college.
Chester and I will go with you.
You and Chester? How would that work? I have to talk to my parents.
There's no problem.
We're here.
What are you do Did you just Were you behind the curtain this whole time? Your roommate Colleen is right.
Move home, have the baby.
She and Chester can come help.
How can anyone say that? How can you say that? You've never even met Chester.
(CHESTER CLEARING THROAT) Actually, they have.
You were behind the curtain too? Dr.
Negari? (STAMMERING) Why don't you all just step out at the same time? I don't know.
Super weird.
That's your opinion.
Beep! Boop! Dirg? From the call center? Beep! Rayna, you should be proud.
We have chosen you as the ideal mother for a new life form.
A form of life that's been digitally created.
Behold.
(SOFT MUSIC, COOING) An Emoji baby! Rayna, you are the mother of the first Emoji baby! The sexting Soon, our society will no longer need physical intimacy at all.
Imagine how much more powerful we will be, when we don't have to depend on one another.
We've been grooming you, Rayna, to raise this baby, and we have found you the perfect partner.
We just started dating.
Chester will help you raise the baby, your family will be moved Above the Line to be a part of the child's life, and we've got a fully carpeted condo all set up for you, beautiful wall-to-wall carpeting.
This is what you wanted, Rayna.
To get your family Above the Line.
Not like this.
You all knew about this? You were all in on it? I'm not a real doctor.
I'm an actor.
Bet you couldn't tell.
You know, acting isn't really acting, it's reacting.
It's becoming a - Shut up, Lance! - Sorry.
Actors.
Mom.
Dad? Rayna, darling, listen.
We're moving Above the Line! Dr.
Negari's gonna relocate us.
- To a fully carpeted condo.
- Enough about the stupid carpeting! (INTENSE MUSIC) Colleen? All those shakes? It was to prepare your body for the sext baby.
The Most Convenient Store.
Somehow I feel most betrayed by you.
(AUTOMATED VOICE): I don't know "bell taped by you".
So there's no one I could trust.
Nah! You got me, babe! (EMOTIONAL MUSIC) Yo, what's up, Rayna? I'm here to save you, girl.
Come with me.
And let's raise this baby right.
- No.
- (MUSIC STOPPING) - What? - No, Gete.
You're a 25-year-old high school senior.
You're nice, but totally undependable.
Okay.
So if I'm understanding all this, sexting is the way to implant the baby.
That's the science behind it, yes.
Then you shouldn't have done this to the valedictorian of a tech high school.
Screen grab.
Chester.
Send.
- Rayna, no! - (CHIMING) - (CHESTER): Doc? - (BABY): Daddy! Doc, what's happening? She's forwarded the baby to you! Send it back, Chester, send it back! Chester, blocked! You want this baby so much? You have it.
No, what about my career?! I don't know, figure it out! I'm going back to college.
