What are you doing? You're having another kid?
You get... you're just more domesticated than my mother's cat.
(Jim voice-over) This is my friend Dave.
Our lives are very different, as in I actually have one.
You know, I like being a dad.
- It gives my life meaning. - Mm-hmm.
It's not like I planned on starting my own nationality.
You know who tried to do that? Hitler.
Why is it always Hitler with you?
I'm just saying that you have... you have kids everywhere,
scattered everywhere... look, there's one right there.
This is a special bonding time with me and my...
My son.
We come here, and we split a pastrami sandwich.
- He's sleeping. - Well...
that means I can eat his half.
Here's the thing, man. I'm your friend.
I love you, you know? I'm trying to be supportive.
- I'm over here. - Yeah.
But your life is pathetic.
- My life? - Yes, your life.
You know, that is pretty ironic coming from a guy
who lives with his mother in a retirement community.

Oh, I take it back.
Wh... why are you attacking me? I'm trying to help y...
look, when you... when you showed up here from Iowa...
- Indiana. - Whatever.
When you drove here on your... on your pa's tractor, right,
who was... who was the first person to befriend you?
- Greg Giraldo. - Well, the first person from the clubs.
Tom Shillue.
- Who was the first Jew you met? - You?
Yes, me, and... and you're attacking me
because you hate yourself for overpopulating the planet.
- Have you two heard of birth control? - My wife's a Shiite Catholic.
There's no goalie, Dave.
Well, then you need to get a vasectomy.
- I'm not getting a vasectomy. - Why not?
It goes against the basic rule
- of being a man. - What's that?
You don't put sharp objects anywhere near that.
Don't you learn that when you're, like, eight?

You won't get a vasectomy because you don't like pain.

Every time I do it, you run out of the room.
That's 'cause you enjoy it too much, Jeannie.
I don't want you accidentally clipping me

A lot of people do. It's very common. It hurts.
Right, and getting snipped won't?
No, Mister, don't get snipped.
But Blanca, you're the one always saying we have too many kids.
Si, too many ninos,
but they cut off your chilito, you a lady.
They don't cut anything off.
They don't, right?
You don't even know what's involved in the procedure.
I guess I'll, um, call a urologist
and set up an appointment and get some information.
Fine. Go ahead.
'Cause I'm an adult,
and I'm in charge of my own life,
and I make my own decisions.
Those are for the kids.
You gonna make that call?
Well, if you're gonna be like that,
then I'm gonna make the call.

I'm serious too.
I'm doing it!
Of course I'm not doing it.
Well, look, even if you wanted the procedure,
it wouldn't be possible because all the parts the doctor
needs to work on have been removed already by your wife.
Ha ha. In case you're wondering, it's that kind of comment
- why you didn't get my pickle yesterday. - Oh, okay. That's why.
It was an actual pickle, ma'am.
Can you come in here
so we can maybe have a less public conversation?
No way, man; there's no way
I'm going in there with all those kids.
It's like a Petri dish of boogers.
Thank God you're getting a vasectomy, that's all I'm saying.
Why do you feel the need to make an announcement?
I'm not getting a vasectomy.
I'm not even making an appointment
to get the information.
But I need Jeannie to think I am
because she knows exactly what I'll do
and what I won't do, and I hate it.
Yeah, I don't blame you, brother.
And add in the fact she's always right.
This is exactly why I'm not getting married

Yes, there are a lot of them. Believe me, I can smell.

Didn't I just ask you

Admit it.
We'll see tomorrow at 3:00 who wants an out.

We'll see what doesn't make sense tomorrow at 3:00.

Hi. To be clear, I'm only here for the consultation.
We've all heard stories of people getting
organs removed by accident.
Don't worry. It's just a consultation.

Just so I'm clear, which one of you is here

Ah, just me.
And these people?
Well, these are my children.
You understand it's not necessary
to prove that you need a vasectomy?
You know what, Doctor? I... I have a question... um...
In your medical opinion, which is more painful, a vasectomy
or getting one's nails clipped?
That's my wife.
There's a history of mental illness in her family.

Yes?

- What? - Really?
Does that... I didn't... let the doctor speak.
- Please, go on, Doctor. - Okay. Well,
the easiest way to explain
how the procedure works is...
That looks like Florida. Is that Florida?
Wow, can we
- roll that right back up where it was? - Absolutely.
- Yes, I'm sorry. - You know what? I don't think this is the
- best place for the kids. Let's just... - No.
Let's... come on, guys. Let's go outside while Daddy
- pretends to talk to the doctor. - I'm not pretending,
and... and I'll give you an update,
and you can fill in Daniel and our priest
and update my Wikipedia page.
Give me a call.
Thank you.
I... I'm so sorry about all this.
It's fine.
Would you like me to explain the procedure now?
- Yes, please. - Okay.
First we make two incisions on each side of your scrotum.
I'm not doing that. No way.
Glad I could be of service. Thank you very much.
Oh, but you know what? If you could do me a favor, can you just
stay in here for, like, 15 minutes
so my wife thinks that I'm considering the procedure?
Mr. Gaffigan, I've got other patients to see.
- Really? You don't got 15 minutes? - No.
- Oh. Really? - Thank you.
- Positive? Okay. - Yes.
- Sorry. - All right.
Is it okay if I stay in here? Please?
