Once and Again (1999) s03e10 Episode Script

~ bufgelfly ~
So, you guys open your presents
on Christmas Eve?
Yeah, it's like a
Sammler family tradition.
It's like that Christmas Eve sing-along
that only Mom likes.
I like it too, just for the record.
What is there to be excited about
if you've already opened your presents?
Imagine being able to sleep in
on Christmas morning
without having Zoe
wake you up at 5.30.
You woke me up last year.
What a great tree!
How's it going?
We're just having a doctrinal dispute
over when to open Christmas presents.
Christmas morning vs Christmas Eve.
Why don't we do it twice?
Jessie and Eli can do it
with your mom like you used to
and then with us on Christmas.
How does that sound?
Sounds good.
What are you guys gonna do
when you have a kid?
- What?
- About family traditions.
We haven't talked about
You guys totally should.
- You think so?
- Absolutely.
If you guys had a kid, it would know
every line to The Philadelphia Story.
And it would sing along
with those lame Four Tenors.
- None of us can hear it.
- They're not lame, OK?
I am a tenor and
I love myself a lot
I love myself so much!
And I eat so much
and I sing so much
So what do you think?
I think I should sing
more quietly in the car.
About Zoe's question.
Well, I guess we should
think about it.
About having one?
We should
think about it.
Thinking about it?
He doesn't want another kid.
What do you think?
Don't come in!
- Don't come in! Not yet!
- Hang on!
I know what you're doing,
you're wrapping presents!
OK.
I can't find the good ornaments.
I looked everywhere,
they must be at Dad's.
- Did you guys come with ornaments?
- Like divorced family action figures?
You can make them,
out of pop-corn and cranberry.
Since when would have
pop-corn and cranberries?
Eli needs an extended cord.
Bottom drawer,
by the sink in the kitchen.
- He looked there
- Guys, stop it!
Get out everybody.
I didn't see anything, I swear!
Can't wait to open
my Christmas present.
I hope you like your present.
What did you get me?
I'm not telling you.
- Come on.
- No way.
Yeah, you can tell me.
Come on. You're mean.
So mean.
You don't wanna have another kid.
- How do you know?
- Getting up all night?
Carrying strollers around everywhere,
changing diapers?
How do you feel about it?
I don't even know if I can still
get pregnant, it's not like I'm
twenty-five anymore.
You look like you're twenty-five.
You are so sweet.
Maybe you could
get an early present.
Oh, my God!
What?
Dr Frankel doesn't want me
on the pill anymore,
I haven't taken it for three days.
Well, what are we supposed
to do about you know?
I'll think of something.
I could go back to using a diaphragm.
So much for spontaneity.
You happen to have one of those
lying around here?
No.
Maybe we could just
have another kid.
Alright.
If I knew that Rick really wanted one,
really wanted one,
then maybe.
We're not gonna have more kids.
I guess if she really wants one
It's hard to see it.
I guess we have to deal with
this situation. OK, I could
I guess I could get my tubes tied.
Wow, it sounds like what my
mother's friends did back in the 70s.
Well, it doesn't have to be you,
you know.
I could always have the old
snip-snip.
Rick
Did you just offer
to get a vasectomy?
Did I?
That is one of the most romantic
sexy things I've ever heard.
It is?
Unebelievable.
- You have a date.
- It's not a date.
It's two non-religious
divorced people
whose kids are with their exes,
having dinner on Christmas Eve.
Does this midwife have
letters after her name?
Are you questioning
Tami's credibility?
I'm just wondering
if Tami has letters
that I should write on the check.
You know, she's a trained midwife, OK?
She just doesn't have an RN.
I guess I should be happy
you moved off of water birth.
That was expensive and weird.
You know what, Jake?
It's not my fault the insurance
doesn't cover home births.
Besides,
I told you I'd pay you back.
I don't want you to pay me back.
I just want you and the baby
to be safe.
I know.
But statistically, hospital births
aren't actually safer.
They work fine.
Excuse me?
You would ask Lily, she could tell you
she had two incredibly smooth
successful hospital deliveries
that was attended
by excellent medical personnel
who well, yes, had lots of letters
after their names.
You're mad at me.
I mean, you've been great and everything
and I don't think you're actually
happy that you're mad at me,
but you are.
You know what, Jake?
Your ambivalence about this baby
doesn't touch me.
You can't bum me out.
I'm umbummable.
You offered to cut off your penis?!
Incendiary, and medically incorrect.
You're a better man than I. Although
pretty soon you'll less of one.
Isn't that incredible?
I didn't even bring it up
and he just offered.
Well, he should offer.
I mean, everything is so easy for men.
We get this fixed number
of dwindling eggs.
And them, with their unlimited
lifetime sperm supplies,
like a multiple partners sex party
till you drop
Oh, man.
I don't know, I just
I feel like we're done
with the kid thing,
maybe there's nothing left to lose,
you know?
Well, I don't know, Rick.
Maybe it's some kind of
primal male thing,
but I like to know that I still have
swimmers carrying my DNA
even if I never use 'em.
You know, the surgery you'd have
to have is much more dangerous.
It is?
Still, way more women have it
than men have vasectomies.
I guess men
just don't wanna go there.
Really?
Yeah, I don't like the idea
of you being greateful
for something that
should be a no-brainer.
Plus, I gotta believe
there's another way
than take chunks
out of your own scrotum.
That's what they do!
They make two little incisions
OK, enough.
Too much information.
I'm not even sure what's going on
with my dwindling eggs.
And meanwhile I'm spending
Christmas Eve with Sam,
even though we're not even
really a couple.
If you say something negative
right now, I'm gonna leave.
I won't say anything
except I love you.
If I could just
get him to say that
Can I have your red sweater?
Sure.
Thanks.
recorded as high
as 50 miles per hour
causing possible power outages.
2 to 3 feet of snow
are expected by midnight
2 to 3 feet?
storm leading
off before daybreak.
Road conditions are hazardous,
many accidents and road closures
have been reported.
Come in!
Merry Christmas and all that jazz!
- Cool hat.
- Thanks.
I just
I brought your mom some
dead sea bath salts,
cause I swear, she's been
such a goddess.
- Grace.
- What?
- The tree.
- What
- What exactly are you going for?
- I'm not really going for anything.
We can't find the good ornaments.
Is that my dad?
Hi, just me, sorry.
No, it's just
My dad's coming to pick me up
to take me to my mom's
We always have fun
and eat Christmas cookies and just
have fun.
Meanwhile, I'm in the house
of no ornaments.
Have you considered cup-melting?
What?
I don't know why,
but I am really good at melting stuff.
Wow, it's cold.
Merry Christmas!
What stinks?
Melting cup ornaments.
Hey, honey.
Mom just called again.
Did you talk to Dad?
He said he was on his way,
but roads are very bad.
I know, but it's Christmas Eve
and she's upset cause we're not there.
Do you see a car here
for me to drive?
You know what? I'm just borrowing
a sweater from Lily
so I can take you to your mom's
on my way downtown.
Are you seeing Sam?
That's none of your business.
Of course, but it is not a date.
Then why are you
borrowing her sweater?
I'm gonna go change and
when I'm back, this bus is leaving!
Judy has a date with Sa-am!
Judy has a date with Sam!
Les?
People are getting anxious
about the weather.
They'd like to go home.
What weather?
We've been broadcasting blizzard
alerts for the last four hours.
When did people in this country
get afraid of a little snow?
OK, everybody can go home.
And if you can stay and help me
finish a few things
maybe I can get out of here, too.
WGZZ weather center.
Severe storm watch.
Near blizzard conditions
expected by midnight tonight.
- What do you think?
- This blizzard must be bad.
They keep interrupting
every 2 seconds for it.
No, the tree.
Oh, it's great.
Oh, no, Zoe,
it's really really great!
Good job!
Tiffany, Grace is mocking me!
And also you and the ornaments
you worked so hard on!
Either I'm peeing and
I just can't stop, or my
water broke.
Is breaking
right here on your floor.
Oh my God oh my God!
Zoe, you have to stop jumping.
- You want up?
- Yeah.
- Does it hurt?
- Should I call 911?
No, I'm not going to the hospital,
I'm gonna have a home birth.
- What's that?
- What does it sound like?
- Shut up.
- Zoe, you shut up!
- Sorry.
- Our bad.
OK, so what do you need?
What can we do?
Actually, I have everything I need
at my apartment.
So if you could just call your dad
and have him pick up my midwife?
- I'll do that.
- I'll get you water.
He's on a date, but he said to call
if I needed
He's on a date?
He won't admit it, but I know he is.
I'm sorry.
Just a second. Hello?
Hi. Tiffany's water broke.
She's fine, but she needs you
to pick up her midwife. Is that OK?
- I can pick up the midwife.
- Great!
Just tell him to take Tami
to my apartment, I'll meet him there.
- Did you hear that?
- Yeah, I'll be right there.
OK
Oh, boy, I'm so sorry.
I'm gonna have to take a raincheck.
Yeah, I kind of figured.
It's no problem.
So?
- Whose midwife?
- Oh, it's just this girl.
Who's having my baby.
My ex-girlfriend.
Cool!
You're sure you don't want me
to come get you?
No thanks, I'm on my way.
Well, OK, just
It's brutal, Lil,
it's really, really icy out here, OK?
- You go home with me.
- What?
What?
I'm driving you home,
it's terrible out here.
Les has offered to drive me home.
- Not offering, I'm doing it.
- What?
I'll be home real soon,
if you'll call the kids, OK?
I am so happy to see you!
It's frosty out there.
I don't think I've ever driven
we couldn't see anything!
It was so
What can I ply you with?
I kind of got Christmas obsessed.
I've got three kinds of eggnog.
No, nothing yet,
I'm still recovering.
Eli, thank you for driving,
I don't know why I got so scared.
Well, it's a 65 Corvair.
Your car kinda sucks.
Yeah, I know.
I should keep going,
I have to meet Sam--
That's crazy!
Why don't you call him
and have him come here
to get you in his truck?
- Sounds like a good idea.
- Yeah, come in and get warm.
I was so worried about you!
We didn't have our sing-along.
Hey, Sam, it's me.
Yeah, well, my car sucks.
I was wondering if wouldn't mind
meeting me at Karen's.
Oh, my God,
I just realized something.
You're having your baby
on Christmas!
Oh my God, maybe it will be
like another messiah.
God, I hope not,
it's too much pressure.
I got it, I got it!
Hey, Zoe, I'm sorry I'm late.
A lot of the roads are closed, but
your mom wanted me to call
and tell you she's on her way.
Tiffany's water broke.
My my God.
Is she OK? Let me talk to her.
It's Rick.
Rick? No, everything's totally
under control.
I talked to my doctor,
I've loads of time.
Well, don't move,
I'll be right there.
Grace, that's my other phone,
could you?
Please. And Zoe, I'm totally
head rushing here, can I
- It's me again.
- You guys OK?
- Jake's getting the midwife.
- Th there's a midwife?
Hi Gracie, I can't find the midwife.
- Jake can't find the midwife.
- What's going on?
- Jake can't find the midwife?
- She's not at her apartment.
She's probably stranded at her job,
she rides a scooter.
- We think she's at her job.
- She rides a scooter?
The health food place
on 3rd and Northern--
On 3rd and Northern, got it.
- That's my market!
- What?
I'm on my way.
Zo', that's the other line, OK?
I'm six blocks away from you
so I'll be home soon, alright?
Rick, it's me.
We were in an accident.
We're both OK
but we need you to come get us.
Tell me where you are.
We're right in front
of the Alexandria hotel.
OK, I'll be right there.
Miracle on 34th Street.
- Hard Day's Night.
- What? No, no, no!
Have it as you like.
- Christmas Carol!
- Yes!
Wait, wait!
Mom, were you doing
that Carol woman from the bank?
You are such a dork!
I got it.
Watch it, I'm dirty at this game.
Alright, here we go.
Nutcracker?
Merry happy, everybody!
Come in, it's freezing out there.
It's so bad they called it
blizzard hell.
They did not. Hey, Jamie,
I didn't expect to see you.
Jeannine got caught in the city,
so I though Jamie could
hang out with us for a while.
- He'll hook up with his mom later on.
- Great.
I haven't seen you
since your ninth birthday.
Yeah, you broke my bouncy.
Mom!
What can I say?
I'm a vigorous jumper.
Do you remember Jessie and Eli?
And this is Judy, my really
cool friend I was telling you about.
Hey, Jamie, how you doing?
So, I should get my stuff.
You know what, wait a minute.
You're not going out now.
No, it's horrible out there.
I have plenty of food,
you're gonna stay.
Well, it's kind of a manly challenge
to go out in the snow like this
- No big deal, we're up to it.
- No, you just stay until it lits up.
Well, chief
you wanna have dinner here tonight?
Do you want to play charades?
You can be on my team.
- She needs the help, trust me.
- Yes, she does. Come on.
God, he's so cute!
So, is this OK?
Yeah, sure, I just
wish I had a present for him,
maybe I could
give him cash?
You didn't bring me one, did you?
I need my markers.
- Was that a contraction?
- I don't know.
Mommy!
My God, where were you?
Tiffany's water broke.
I know sweetie, we had an accident.
Rick had to come and get us.
- An accident?
- Everybody's fine.
I'll tell you all about it,
I just wanna
check how Tiffany's doing.
Oh no, everything's fine,
I'm totally in the early stages.
Thank God. I went to the hospital twice
before they'd even admit me.
I'm not going to the hospital.
- I'm sorry, what?
- She's having a home birth.
What if something goes wrong?
It's totally safe! It's all s
- You talk.
- It's all planned out.
Dad's on his way to her apartment
with the midwife.
It's just, I wonder if maybe
you'd feel more comfortable--
What if the midwife
meets you at the hospital?
If it's a problem,
I can drive myself.
But I'd really like to have
the home birth I planned for.
It's not that.
Statistically there's no evidence that
a hospital birth is safer.
Thank you.
My daughter had a home birth.
OK, hold on.
It's for you.
Hey, beauty, it's Tami.
How are you doing?
It's really weird down there.
You've probably been labouring
and didn't even know it!
I may have been labouring
and I didn't even know it.
Grace, would you see if Les needs
some ice for his forehead?
Yeah, follow me.
- I'm Grace.
- Yeah, I heard.
I was so scared
when you called earlier.
How do you want your ice?
In a towel or an icepack?
In a glass, with vodka on it.
Lily?
Can you check if my cervix is open?
I have explicit instructions
from Tami.
This is not my job.
OK, well, listen,
sorry about tonight.
Hey, when your ex-girlfriend's
having our baby
your ex-girlfriend's
having our baby.
Bye.
Merry Christmas.
So.
Tiffany is your ex-girlfriend,
she's having your baby,
and you were out on a date
with that woman tonight, right?
Just trying to get it all straight.
Okey-dokey.
So, it looks like I'm
really having this baby, uh?
Yep.
Excuse me.
Rick? Call Jake and have him
bring the midwife to our house.
We're having a home birth.
Here.
Cool!
OK.
Right, that's two and a half minutes
since the last
Oh, sweetie, I'm sorry,
I squeezed too hard.
That's OK.
What does it feel like?
Kind of like an Indian burn
inside you.
Oh, no, these sheets are too nice.
No, it's OK.
But, isn't there gonna be, like
epic grossness?
It's OK, sweetie,
they're just sheets.
Right, I'll be right back, OK?
Rick, we can't possibly do this
in this house!
Oh.
Jake, it's me.
This is insane, where are you?
There is only one road open
and it's not moving.
The contractions are
really close together.
She was already dilated
about a half an hour ago.
I don't wanna look again,
I'm afraid I'll see a head.
That's assuming it's not breech.
- This is ridiculous.
- I'm doing the best I can.
I know!
Well, we'll just
have to make it work.
We don't have much
of a choice, do we.
So that was your ex-wife?
At my ex-house,
where my
ex-girlfriend is having a baby
we never planned for
and were never expecting to have.
What? There is no place to go!
I don't know what Tiffany told you,
but I'm not a bad guy.
- She didn't say you were.
- I'm taking responsability.
- Good.
- I have two daughters
- I take very good care of.
- Good.
I don't know why they look at me
like I'm some kind of villain.
And who's looking at you that way?
No, no, it's OK.
If you want something,
you can ask for it.
I know.
- Mom, can I be excused?
- Sure.
Yeah, me too.
This was fantastic, Karen.
It's much better
than the pizza Sam would've ordered.
I'm glad you liked it.
Mom, can I start
the cookie house now?
Yeah, sure honey.
Jamie, do you wanna do
the cookie house with me?
No, thanks.
You know what, buddy,
I'm gonna make a phone call, OK?
Sure.
Wow, I like your pictures.
What's it of?
Stupid stuff.
I draw all the time.
This looks like a hand
And, are these flames?
What is that,
some kind of sabre?
Do you have sex with my dad?
I mean
Are you like his girlfriend?
We're
friends, actually.
That's what he told me too.
Listen, he doesn't know
what he's doing.
And
I know he's seeing
other people, too.
Do you wanna call
a tow truck or something?
I'll have my assistant
deal with it tomorrow.
You mean, my mom?
Get me back to my wife and kids!
Help me, Clarence, please!
Please!
I wanna live again!
- How come you're not with your family?
- I'm divorced.
- We're divorced.
- I know.
- Mom has a lot of guilt about it.
- Should she?
Well, I'm not sure I could
have stayed married to my dad either.
But I miss having a family.
Especially on Christmas.
What about your daughter
who had the home birth?
Leslie?
We haven't spoken for five years.
I talk to her, but she's too big
a bitch to pick up the phone.
How are you doing?
Like this wave is coming,
you don't know when
and how hard
Maybe I should try to squat,
do you think I should?
I have no idea,
but let's go for it.
Rick? How do you do that?
Do you know how to
Well, I think I did that
a couple of times with Karen
Step down of the bed
and we'll get you up under the arms
and then take the weight off.
Put your weight.
It's OK, I've got lots of
fine pain coping techniques.
I'll feel so much better
when Jakes gets here with Tami.
Make friends with the pain
- So, why don't you wanna marry her?
- We have to have this discussion now?
We're never gonna see
each other again, why not?
OK, why aren't I
gonna marry Tiffany?
When my ex-wife was
in her 20th hour of labour,
I went down to the cafeteria
and I started flirting
with a doctor who was on her break.
I complimented the blouse she had
under the lab coat.
Everybody knows what that means.
- You wanted it off of her.
- So, I'm a bad man.
OK? But I'm a good father.
- What?
- You like being ambivalent,
so that you can go on dates
and then sweep in
and be the dad when you wanna be,
and when a woman needs something,
you have the perfect excuse built
right in, which is that you're bad.
It's not an excuse.
I am bad.
Nah, you're fourteen.
Did I make this blizzard?
Did I plan this baby?
Nope. You still got to deal
with them both, though, don't you?
I've done this twice already,
you'd think I'd be used to it.
- You did it?
- Sorry.
I did it twice before and I still
can't imagine how it happened.
Yeah, I'm sure you'd love
to go through it again.
No, I guess not.
Upstairs.
Grace, where's your dad anyway?
Has anybody heard from him?
Not in a while, but--
- Maybe you should go get the midwife.
- I thought Jake was already on his way.
Jake is a non committal
passive agressive bad driver.
He's probably making out
with the midwife.
Who knows if he'll even be here,
he barely showed up for me
when I was married to him.
Can I take a bath?
Sure.
I was gonna do a gumdrop chimney.
I'm sorry.
It's OK.
I don't mean to be obsessive,
it's just
after it's done we give it to this
rest home, so I like it to be very nice.
Here, you can put
some of these at the top.
- It smells great.
- I know.
- In here?
- Yeah.
What's up with Jamie?
Long story.
He seems like a really
great kid.
But I'm just trying to figure out
Maybe it's cause of the divorce,
but he just seems really
Really what?
Nothing, I was just saying I was
had this little moment
with Jamie, and
I don't know,
it was a little difficult.
They're all difficult.
Oh, no, I didn't mean--
They are.
He's a difficult kid.
I think he's a lovely kid.
He's been in and out
of special schools,
been on and off a boatload
of medication, none of which worked.
Merry Christmas.
Sam, I'm sorry.
No, it's
No need to be sorry for it.
I wanted you to know,
this is who he is,
this is my son.
I think he's wonderful.
In case you have
a problem with that.
Why would that matter?
- Damn it, damn it!
- Calm down.
Why should I calm down?
Where are you going?
I have to get to my ex-wife's house.
My girlfriend's having a baby,
I have to get the midwife to her.
I have to get to her
right now, please!
Why did you put
that nice blanket on the bed?
I'll take it off.
No, it's great.
See, it's gone.
Just climb right up here.
Rick, will you put this
in the closet?
I just wish I was at my house
so I didn't have to worry.
Sweetie.
You don't have to worry
about anything.
Everything we have is yours.
Whatever you need.
Lift your head.
Thank you.
I'm sorry about
what I said about Jake.
No, it's OK.
I agree with you.
Especially the part about
Jake being a sucky driver.
It's just that he's not here.
And neither is anyone else
that I'm related to and
Not that I'd really want them to be,
it's just
If I was at my house,
I'd have my stuff and
I feel like
I can't even make any noise!
Why would you feel like that?
Of course you should.
You should whatever you need to do.
I mean, you have very strong ideas
about how you wanna do this,
I'm not a expert--
Stop saying that,
I don't need an expert!
Sorry.
Sorry. I'm here.
It's OK.
It's OK.
What's happening?
Power lines must be down.
We need to boil some water
to keep the washclothes hot.
Alright, Grace?
Can you find me a pan? And some
more candles, if you can find 'em.
And in the garage I think,
there's a kerosene lantern.
This is like
Little House in the Prairie.
Zoe, stop it, I don't like that.
Sorry.
Can you find that pan for me?
Is she OK?
Yeah, she's in
what they call transition.
It hurts so much!
Just keep breathing.
I think I'm gonna be sick.
It's OK.
Grab something for her, will you?
Hang on.
I wouldn't put
any more candy on that.
It's OK.
I know what I'm doing.
Yeah, I know that's
not your problem.
Can you just talk to him?
Come on, that's so unfair.
Oh, no.
It's OK, honey.
What happened?
Oh, honey
What can we do?
Maybe we should just sing.
- We don't need any power--
- No one wants a sing-along, Mom.
No one ever wanted a sing-along.
I'm sorry, Mom.
No, I just had
too many expectations, that's all.
He's gonna stay with me tonight.
Wow, what--
Where is he?
Jamie, no, no!
What're you doing?
This is for Jessie.
Please, stop, stop, stop!
Jamie, come on!
You can't--
You can't go to somebody's house
and mess everything up.
Look at me.
Come on, it's Christmas,
this is not your house,
none of this
none of this stuff is yours.
I know that.
Alright.
I know you wanna push,
but try to hold on if you can.
I know!
Cause you had to perfect babies
in your perfect hospital
cause you're perfect!
I don't know
where you heard that.
I had 22 hours of labour with Grace.
I was screaming for drugs,
I was cursing like that girl
in The Exorcist.
Zoe, I was just so wiped out
I gave up.
Does that make you feel better?
My whole life, my mom told
this story about
when she was drunk, about
when she had me,
and she said she almost died.
And I just thought she was being
horrible and mean.
She is.
You're not gonna die.
You're just having a baby.
I want to go to the hospital!
You'll be just as scared
at the hospital, trust me.
No, I want drugs, I can't do it!
You're already doing it!
You're doing it.
You're doing it beautifully,
look at you!
And pretty soon,
you're gonna have a baby--
I'm not ready.
I don't even like babies!
Oh, God!
Tiffany.
Your world is about to change
in the most incredible way.
From the first moment
you look into this little baby's eyes,
your heart is gonna open
in a way you never dreamed possible.
Hang on.
It won't be much longer.
We were so worried!
- Where is she?
- Upstairs.
Is that a snow plow?
Oh, thank God!
Hey, sweetie.
I'm just gonna see
how things are going.
Knock yourself out.
We think she's like totally dilated.
You made it.
I'm here.
I'm gonna be checking her cervix,
and she'll probably push soon,
there's too many people in here.
- You're gonna stay, right?
- You kidding?
Alright, sweetie.
We're gonna roll you over
in a second.
She wants you to stay.
Well, get in there.
Eli, come on, it's your turn.
You're still in jail.
He is still in jail?
Alright.
- Alright, sweetie, here you go.
- I'm just gonna go.
Let's get-- Oh, here he is.
My turn, uh?
Your turn.
You get doubles.
I think he's having a hard time.
Move me.
Hey, me.
Jamie, dude.
Wake up, blanket.
You want me to teach you a G-chord?
Come on.
Take this.
First, you put
your fingers like this.
I want you to strum
the strings for me.
You and the baby,
you're doing this together.
Only you can push this baby out.
No one else can do this for you.
It sucks!
You're so close!
Good job, baby's crowning!
I am never having a baby.
Another girl for Jake.
What is it, a conspiracy?
That's right.
You are the most beautiful,
perfect little creature
your daddy has ever seen.
You wanna hold her?
Yeah, I would love to.
She's so
precious little girl,
isn't she beautiful?
I didn't realize
they came out with fingernails.
Your baby's gonna come out
with painted fingernails.
Your baby's gonna come out
with a copy of War and Peace.
We have to cut these things off.
Oh, it's right, Zoe!
It's your dad.
I know.
It's just--
We hadn't spoken in a while and
I just thought I'd call up
and say merry Christmas.
Lights are on!
So?
I know.
No snip-snip?
Guess not.
Oh, boy.
Or girl.
Here's another fine mess
you've gotten me into.
