[imitating airplane motor.]
Oh, look at that.
Either you shrunk 2 inches or the house is contracting.
Ethan, your turn! Great, you know, but it's weird.
I mean, Sis, there are no spelling mistakes and the drawings actually look halfway decent, so I'm great.
Of course, I'm nauseous, and my back is in spasm.
- What? - ["The Lonely Goatherd".]
No, you're not insane.
There is someone yodeling.
Just a minute.
Will someone please turn Maria down? And, Ethan, if you think I'm going to pick up Nazis all afternoon, you're sadly mistaken.
You hear me, Eth? I can't clean them up.
There's a war.
I'll clean you up.
Come here, mister.
Come here, you little I'm going to take you in there, and you're going to get yourself measured up.
You're going to get yourself measured up.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on here.
And 6'4" tall.
Unbelievable.
Oh, that's so funny, I forgot to laugh.
No, Ethan, come here.
Look.
Look, you've really grown.
Look at this.
Ethan, you're out of control.
Come on.
The house is expanding.
Nancy, help.
Look, it's a zoo here.
I forgot I'm not allowed to talk on the phone.
I'll talk to you later.
Bye.
Okay, I got peanut butter, I got tuna fish.
It's an invasion.
Here come the Nazis.
No, I think that the Nazis are going to conveniently skip Philadelphia today, Ethan.
Now come on.
Pick that up.
Oh.
Are you going to be okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
It's just stiff.
Ethan, I want you to clean this stuff up.
Your mom's back is in spasm.
You want me to rub it for you? No, thanks, sweetie.
You got to get to school.
Come on.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Here.
Don't forget your coat.
Okay.
Thanks.
- Bye.
- Bye, Mommy.
- See you.
- Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
["The Lonely Goatherd" continues.]
One little girl in a pale pink coat heard Lay dee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo [Melissa.]
Oh, my God.
I may need a little help.
What I mean is oh, my God.
Open it.
"To Melissa.
"You've always been a light in the forest.
"Love, Ethan and Nancy.
" Oh, Nan.
It's 12.
95.
I take Visa.
- Oh, this is great.
- Oh, I know.
It's just great.
Look at the picture.
Oh.
Well, that's nice, isn't it? Don't you think, in a brilliant sort of way? What? They spelled my name wrong.
S-T-E-D-M-A-N.
They left the A out.
Oh, God.
My first book jacket, and they left the A out.
Oh, God, Melissa, I'm so sorry.
You should be.
You know that party I'm giving for you Saturday? Make other plans.
I'm going to see the publishers, and I promise I'll get them to change it.
You okay, Nance? Yeah, I'm fine.
You know, it's just that I've got to go to the dentist today and then I have to go to the art center and then pick up Ethan, and my back is conveniently out.
Well, how's the pain? Is it, um, like stabbing and agonizing, or is it more, you know, existential? It's kind of both agonizing and existential.
Oh, God, I know what you're going through.
You do? It can be really depressing - because you've succeeded.
- Right.
I mean, I never realized how happy I was being a failure until I became successful.
Right.
Come here.
I'll loosen you up.
There.
- Oh, God.
- Oh.
You've got, like, little ball bearings in there.
Do you think that's what this is? Success anxiety? I don't know.
How are your toes? Are they clenched? Do you have trouble uncurling them? Yeah, I do.
What do you think that is means? That I'm nuts? No, it means you're my twin sister from whom I was separated at birth.
Oh, sis.
Oh.
[Man.]
Sweetheart, come on! [Girl.]
Just a second, Daddy! Here you go.
Wait for your sister.
[Girl.]
I'm over here, Dad.
Mom.
Oh, hi, hon.
I'll just be a second.
I'm going to the girls' room, okay? Okay.
[toilet flushes.]
Hi.
This is for kids in here.
I know.
I just wasn't feeling good, so What's wrong with you? Nothing.
I was just feeling a little sick.
I'm okay.
She vomited.
I know.
Are you a mother? Yes, I am.
I'm a mother.
I'm Ethan's mother.
Ethan Weston? Does Ethan have any fish at home? So I said, "Yes, he has fish," and then they looked at each other really suspicious, and one of them looks at me and says, "Well, that's interesting "because some of ours just happen to be missing.
" What are you telling me? Ethan's a fish thief? No, I mean, the whole thing It was like suddenly being caught in a Diane Arbus picture.
- You ever get that feeling? - Hourly.
Me, too.
We never should've had her take our wedding pictures.
Really.
So you feel okay now? Oh, yeah.
You know, I guess I'm just upset.
About what? The book, you know? That I'm just not handling it better.
I think you're handling it great.
- You do? - I do.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
Elliot Right, right.
Go, go, go.
I mean, I'm going to see Silverman tomorrow, and she's going to give me a new prescription.
Ah, it's my mother's fault.
What? That you went off the pill? No, that I'm not handling this better, you know? Like I'm afraid of success or something.
I mean, look at my sisters.
When Deb got into med school, she got psoriasis, and then Susan's been engaged, what? Four times? I mean, there's a link.
It all happened in the '50s.
Come on, Nance, what are you talking about? People were afraid of communists in the '50s, not success.
I hate to puncture your theory.
I don't know.
You know, when I see Silverman tomorrow, I'm going to ask her for some Xanax.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah.
- Get me some.
Okay.
- And the kids? - They're good.
I mean, they're both great.
Deep breath, okay? And Elliot.
I was thinking of maybe going back on the pill so that we could be a little more spontaneous.
Right.
Right.
Breathe out.
You okay otherwise? Yeah, fine.
I'm just Well, I wrote this book a children's book.
Ethan and I wrote it together, and it's going to be coming out on Monday.
- That's great.
- Yeah.
Oh, Nancy, that's terrific.
Yeah, it is.
I just wish that it were over with so I could move on.
You know, I'm just, like, moderately flipping out.
I mean, nothing major or anything.
It's just tension, this lower back pain, which I inherited from my dad.
He always had lower back pain.
I'll give you a muscle relaxer.
All right, hold still.
Right there.
You feel anything? No.
That's good.
You might have a trace of an early fibroid, which I doubt.
You're a little young.
But that could be the cause of your lower back pain.
So you're not crazy.
You have time for an ultrasound? Mm-hmm.
Mm.
Here.
Brittany at six weeks.
Oh, my gosh.
And Ethan at 8.
Oh, man.
Oh.
My babies.
- Ew.
- Ew.
Okay, okay, I got a grosser one.
Okay.
What? Okay.
Okay, there's an American guy and a witch and an Indian guy.
So then a guy comes up to the American guy and says, "How'd you get your red hair?" and he says, "I was born with it.
" And then he goes up to the Indian guy and says, "How'd you get your purple hair?" and he says, "I dyed it with berries.
" And then he goes up to the witch and says, "How'd you get your green hair?" and the witch goes [sniffling.]
[Elliot.]
Ew! Boogers! - That's gross.
- Oh, gross.
- [Nancy.]
Ethan? - What? I'll be in in a minute, okay? Okay.
- Where's Dad? - I don't know.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Okay, okay, I'll put it in a dish.
Want some? No, thanks.
I saw Dr.
Silverman today.
Yeah? She give you the pill? - She gave me the pill.
- Great.
And she also took this picture with the ultrasound thing, you know, like when I was pregnant only I'm not and, uh, she found this little thing.
What thing? Well, she thought, but she was wrong, that it was some kind of early fibroid.
Wait, wait.
What Fibr What's that? Nothing.
I mean, it's something, but it doesn't really matter because it wasn't the thing, the fibroid thing, so she was wrong about that.
[Ethan.]
Mom! Just a minute, honey.
Um, so it was nothing.
- Well, that's good.
- Right.
I know.
It's just, um It's just that my ovary, either my right one or my left one, has dropped behind my uterus, and she just, you know, wants to do a test.
A test? You said it was nothing.
Well, it is, basically.
That's what Dr.
Silverman said.
She just wants to look inside with this periscope Wait.
What? A periscope? What is that? What's this periscope? It's called a laparoscopy.
I mean, I've got a pamphlet.
Let me show you.
Nance, whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait.
When are you going to do this periscope thing? - Whenever.
- When? - Friday.
- Friday? This Friday? Like day after tomorrow Friday? Yeah, but I'll be back that afternoon Okay, wait a sec, wait a sec, wait a sec.
It's just a test, Elliot.
That's all it is.
Fine, fine.
I just want to know more about it.
- Hey, pal.
- Hey, Ethan.
Mom, if you leave turtles on the radiator, do they fry and get dead? Well, it depends.
Why? Just curious.
- Mom.
- What? You know what turtles are? What's that? They're fascinating.
I agree.
Now come here.
You know, I've been thinking.
We had so much fun doing our book together.
I was thinking maybe we should do another project together.
- You have any ideas? - I don't.
Hmm.
Well, I do.
I was thinking maybe we could do one this time about forests, only real ones.
We could go exploring leaves and animals and stuff.
I hate nature.
- Oh, you do not.
- I do.
Well, turtles are nature.
Why don't we do a book about turtles? Dr.
Seuss already did one, Mom.
Okay.
Um We could do a book about Indians.
I hate Indians.
Oh, Ethan, you do not.
You don't even know any.
Do you? Well, no, I No, not personally, but You know, it would be really great if you thought about it, you know, maybe think about it in your dreams, about something we could do together.
You mean it? Yeah.
Come on, let's go.
Hop in.
There we go.
- Mom.
- Yep? I lied about Indians.
I like some.
I know.
Like Apaches.
They're fascinating.
Maybe that's what our project should be about.
Turtles and Apaches.
Good night.
Sweetheart.
What are you doing in my office? Get out of my office.
I can't.
I got big news.
- What? - Wein and Scott taking over.
Attacked from within.
Yeah, they're saying it's Gordon Kramer and Australian money.
Gordon Kramer's a very smart guy.
Yeah, he definitely is.
You wouldn't happen to know if Nancy called, would you? I don't think she did.
How long have you been here? I don't know.
Four minutes.
So what do you think about 3265? Well, it's fine except for the 2 separation in the key art.
Oh, great, great.
You know, we're going to need high con plus a tissue layout.
I know, I know.
It's coming.
You okay? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay.
Okay.
[laughs.]
Why would I make something like that up? No, seriously, I swear.
I put them both in front of her, right? Runaway Bunny and Ulysses.
Let me guess.
She went right to Ulysses.
- Right.
- And put it in her mouth.
You forgot to mention that.
So big deal.
Listen, Janey, by the time she was 5 months old, had eaten most of the major early work of Saul Bellow, up to and including Henderson The Rain King, but, hey, I don't like to brag.
Oh, I'm sure Emma's as bright as a button.
Hey, what was that woman on TheLucy Show that was always bragging about her kids? Carolyn Appleby.
The kid's name was Stevie.

I saw the ovary.
It was fairly large.
It looks like there might be some kind of tumor in it.
Possibly.
I don't know what it is, so I took a pelvic washing which is completely standard.
Well, wait.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's just that's a lot all of the sudden, and I want to understand It's just that maybe there's maybe something wrong with me.

And they want to be really sure.
Right.

I just can't lie to you.
There is something wrong with me, Ethan.
I'm sick.
And I don't know how sick yet, but I'm going to find out really soon.
Daddy's going to take me to the hospital on Saturday.
And then they'll find out what's wrong, and once they know what's wrong, they'll figure out how to make it better.
And I could tell you that everything is going to be all right and you don't have to worry, but that really wouldn't be the truth really.
So that's the truth.
That's all.
