Who We Are... and Who We Aren't

1 Previously on "You Me Her" - Mom? - Jack.
I want to tell you how your father died.
- Got into a car wreck.
- You were about 10 months old when the affair started.
I let you keep on loving him.
But then I couldn't help hating you for it.
I'm also very fond of you, and I want you to be my girlfriend.
NINA: "You will always hold the key.
" You make me better, Neen.
I'm nothing without you.
Now, listen, I got to be back at the airport in 10 hours and 37 minutes, which, as you know, is 10 hours and 27 minutes more than I need.
It took me four days to realize I was in love with you.
JACK: He's going to California.
What is he, in love with you or something? Why would you say that? No.
I saw on your computer that you were researching tri-custody.
Well, that's what you want, isn't it, babe? I need to know that this will never happen again, okay? We're about to have twins.
We don't need a third child.
Well, you've made that pretty damn clear, haven't you, Em? I think that this commitment party has become like a, um Like a deadline.

And and it's just It's, like, happening.
I'm gonna give you some tough love now, okay? Ow.
You didn't literally run to me this time, but you're still dumping your biggest, heaviest feelings on me instead of them.
Also, uh, the locksmith just texted, - and he's on his way up, so - Right, right.
But here's the thing.
I'm not gonna be their nanny or their cool aunt or their "mamacita," whatever the fuck that means.
I'm gonna be their mother.
Like like, they're gonna love me like they love Jack and Emma.
Hello? Nina.

You don't really have to go outside to pee.
Yeah, I mean, unless you want to.

I I wasn't actually peeing.
- Oh.
- No! So um I think I might be freaking out a little bit.
- About the party? - No.
About the babies being real.
- Same.
- Me, too.
- Really? - Yeah.
I don't understand how everyone's just standing around watching this slow-motion atrocity happen to us I mean, giving us full responsibility - for two perfectly good lives? - Thank you.
Feels like someone should step in and make a citizen's arrest.
[LAUGHS.]
Okay, so, this unscheduled breakdown is not a unicorn mom thing? It is an every-parent-ever thing.
Look at this.
This one here This girl is kind of the droll, sarcastic one that's above it all.
So I'm thinking of naming her Sarah Silverman.
- Oh! - Well, I already locked in on Silverman - as a middle name, so - Well, duh.
It's lovely.
Yeah.
This is the dumb, happy one - Aww.
- that everyone thinks is oblivious to the world's problems, but she's actually cracked the code.

Okay, Gabe is coming over here and taking me to brunch.
We do that? Carmen booked us couple massages.
We definitely don't do that.
- Hmm.

My posse.
- Posse! - Hey! - Hi.

Oh, and also, shut up.
We had so much sex.
Didn't we discuss this? There's nothing grosser than bragging about sex with your spouse of more than five years.
You're right.
I totally know better.
It was like porn without a camera.
That's it.
I'm done.
Just except to say we won at sex.
Yay? [WHISPERING.]
Okay.
Quiet time.
Okay.
[CELLPHONE RINGING.]
Seriously? What, you're the one bringing a phone into a massage? What kind of "Freaky Friday" shit is this? Jesus, chill out.

I always said I would do something like that after college.
You'll get around to it.
Or you could just come with me.

Look, I mistook compatibility and companionship for love.
I don't know, you know? Maybe I'm finally ready.
I hope so.
Probably not.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
I hope so.

We just watch the seasons change And wait for the storm to break So, how long did you know? And the land to come You know, Dad would say he was going one place, and then his plane ticket would say something else.
The weird messages on his office phone.
And then one time, there was, uh there was perfume on the on his clothes in his suitcase, and that's when I knew.
You should have told me.
Once shit got real, you should have told me.

When she called me a faggot? Yeah, right after you called her a cunt.
What? No, I didn't.
Did I? Yeah, you did.
You just said the worst thing you could think of, and then so did she.
Remember when you were a kid, you wrote that little essay? It was an essay about, like, your greatest influence or your hero or whatever, and you chose Dad? Which made sense.
And then it won that contest, and it got printed in our local paper.
- Remember that? - Yeah.
Mom had to hear about that so much.
You know how hard she took that? I spent my life idolizing an adulterous asshole.
I don't know.
Sometimes I think about that a lot what he did, what happened, and I don't know, 12 years, it's It's not really an affair, is it? I guess he fell in love.
Yeah.
I'm not sure that makes it any better, but it's different, right? Yeah.
You think he would have come back and lived in the same town as us? Yeah.
Yeah, I know it.
Thank you.
