Pick me up.
I can't see.
so it's just
a precaution, right?
I mean,
she hasn't gotten
any infections?
knock on wood.
and Daphne's cold
is pretty much gone.
so when does she
come out of this thing?
when can you guys
hold her?
oh...well,
it's kind of complicated--
they want her to put on
a little bit more weight.
so, it's get her past
the infection risk,
get her started eating...
and then home.
you must be dying
to hold her.
yeah, but--
on the other hand,
as long as the baby's ok,
it must be great
to get your rest.
I mean,
you had major surgery.
it's true, except--
aren't you exhausted?
doesn't it wipe you out,
constantly
schlepping down
to look at the baby?
uh...yeah, actually.
I'm feeling a little bit
exhausted right now.
ok, back in your chair.
I'm gonna get you back
to your room.
be careful where
you're sitting, ok?
get that foot thingy.
careful.
thanks. Thank you.
thanks!
can we come
visit you later
after we've finished
ogling the baby?
uh-uh. No.
she needs her rest.
uh, sorry.
controlling
boyfriend's orders.
Bye.

Daphne...
she seems ok now,
don't you think?
yeah, she does. So far.
but even if Diane
is out of the woods,
this is just the beginning.
I mean, somebody has to be
with her every second.
it's like this is
their whole life now.
yeah. It's not
for everybody, is it?
you know, the kid thing.
(sighs)
ok...
I want to do it
someday, Sarah.
have kids. You know that.
yeah, I know.
and I would never
pull a "will"
and, like, walk away.
god, of course not.
but if I had to
choose when--
that's kind of
the point, Bailey.
I mean, that's why
I asked you
the question.
'cause if there's
an accident,
you kind of
don't get to choose.
I know. And I'm saying--
I'm saying...
that I'm a really lucky guy
to have everything
that I have,
a great job and,
I mean...
you.
I have you. And...
that's kind of all
I have room for right now.
I don't want to be
a father, too.
and it's got nothing
to do with you and me.
because you and me--
oh, I know. I know.
Mag? Maggie, there's
something blocking the--
it's my laundry.
sorry.
oh, well, uh, I have
a ton to wash, too.
I could do ours together
if you want.
why? Would that
make you feel better?
would that make you feel
like you're really my friend?
no, that's not...
I was just--
what did campus housing say?
oh. Well, it turns out
there's already
a waiting list
for transfers.
probably be a couple
months at least.
it's too late
for a refund
if one of us
wants to move
off campus,
but they said
sometimes you can find
someone in the dorm
who's willing to--
can you please shut up?
you--you just asked me--
I didn't ask you
for an essay answer.
Maggie, I am sorry.
I'm...
so incredibly sorry,
I feel like I'm
gonna be sorry forever.
but, you know,
we're stuck here
together.
and god, I wish
I could change that,
I wish I could, like,
drop out of ec-12
or just vanish
from this room or...
I don't know.
maybe that's the answer.
maybe I can just
stay away from here
from whenever
till whenever.
you know,
just draw a line through
the middle of the day.
ok.
ok. Ok? Did you say ok?
so when can whenever be?
from when till when?
how about starting now?
ok...fine.
from now till when?
how about never?
let's see
what else is on.
find the stooges.
do they have
the stooges?
I don't know.
I swear to god,
I would have gone
all the way postal
without this
mini-casino.
ha ha ha.
come on
lucky 9, lucky 9!
baby needs a new--
hello.
oh, my god.
why is she--
no one said she'd be out
of the Incubator so soon.
Dr. murtry said
when she hit 3 pounds 8--
oh, my god.
she's so tiny and...
perfect.
let me see. Let me see!
let me see.
can he? Is it ok
if he touches her?
he'd pick up a lot
of bugs at school.
ok.
claud, could you...
come on, Owen.
hey, what do you say
we go buy baby Diana
a present, huh?
but I want to see the baby.
I want to see her!
you want to hold her?
I'm scared
I might break her.
she's so little.
support the head.
oh...
that's it.
like this?
is this ok?
that's it. Gently.
oh, oh my god.
does that hurt her?
no, no, no.
she's fine.
like this?
that's it.
oh, my god.
I know.
oh, my god.
I know.
oh, my god.
hey, look, owe.
it's the stooges.
I like to watch
with Charlie.
he laughs at all
the dumb parts
with me.
I can laugh
at the dumb parts.
I can.
oh, man,
that's really dumb.
but--but funny.
very funny.
hey, partner.
you're still here?
I thought you were
heading back to school.
uh, no. Not yet. You know.
'cause Charlie needs my help
with...you know, stuff.
oh. Right.
so you're gonna hang out
for a couple extra days?
that's the plan?
um...basically.
but you're gonna
call Hanover, right?
let 'em know what
you're doing?
make sure they're
ok with everything?
you know Diana's
out of her Incubator, right?
I mean, they just
brought her in,
and they're all, like,
passing her around.
the baby?
it's ok to hold her?
yeah.
you're gonna make
that call, right?
you'd better go.
they're gonna
take her away any second.
(sighs)
don't they ever use
a frying pan for cooking?
I know, I know.
she was
the same way with me.
I went to see how she was,
and pretty soon
Dante's inferno
was flying at my head.
hardcover.
and you know what?
I don't really blame her.
me, neither.
I feel evil.
I deserve the inferno.
you know, you could
always stay here.
Ok. Don't get me wrong.
'cause what
2 people do together
is not my business.
ray, we--
we were just studying.
and I never judge--
judge? What?
and this has nothing
to do with my celibacy.
or even with my virginity--
ray, could we not--
but the truth is,
even if you don't look
to god for guidance...
I mean, it's my room, too.
Ray,
nothing's happened.
really, practically nothing.
ah, but in the future?
what goes down--
or on...
between these walls,
even if I'm not here
when it happens--
you know, I don't know
what I'm doing here.
I have a ton of
studying to do.
I should go to that...
library, there.
yeah. Me, too. Me, too.
do you have a blanket
in case it gets cold?
yeah, here.
thanks.
and take a pillow.
ok.
I should
take one, too.
and some food.
hey!
you working?
yeah, I was.
good. Me, neither.
so what are you up for?
cuddle up with a video?
cuddle up with a pizza?
cuddle up with
a restaurant manager?
wow.
you know what? Um...
that sounds
really great,
but I've got this
stupid midterm thing.
you know, Latvia from
the balts to the teuts.
god, I'm not even in
the 1100s yet. So...
you know what?
since I still have
references to pull,
I think I'm just gonna
go to the library.
at 9 P.M.?
yeah. I know
it sounds crazy,
but you know what?
I will feel
much better
when I'm done.
so don't wait up.
Hello?
Mr. and Mrs. salinger?
what?
what's going on?
it's time to give Diana
another try at the breast.
now? Again?
this is Dr. nampur,
our on-call pediatrician.
this is Hillary,
lactation specialist.
ok, but why
do I need so many--
try not to talk,
'cause the book says
that your voice
distracts the baby.
that's not
a perfect
latch-on. Here--
are the nostrils blocked?
that might be a problem.
Here,
try massaging the breast.
if she's not letting down.
here. Like this.
you do it. You should--
you should learn.
can we--
does everyone
have to be here
for this?
just try to relax.
he'll let down
easier if you relax.
could we just try
the bottle, please?
don't tell me I did
all that pumping
for nothing.
if she starts on the bottle,
she's not gonna want to
go to the breast.
now what would you
rather have on your breast?
a baby or a pump?
can I get back to you
on that?
daph, come on, just try
and relax like they said.
how can I relax
with half the hospital
down my shirt, ok?
I get more privacy
twirling pasties
at a shore leave party.
it's ok. You're--
you're scaring the baby.
no. You are.
all of you.
Daphne,
she can't get off the iv
until she starts eating.
well, then put her
back on the iv,
because this
isn't working!
can't you see that?
it's not working.
ok.
we'll just try again later.
(Alarm sounds)
Hey.
um...
actually,
you know what?
I was reaching
for the snooze,
'cause I need
a little more sleep.
ok?
well, can I fry you up
something greasy
for breakfast?
yeah.
yeah, that
would be great
in a little bit.
ok.
So assuming we get those
tax breaks,
I'd say we're looking
at a cash margin
of 5 to 6%.
times 1,800 metric tons--
you can look at
the spreadsheet that I ran
with all the variables.
nice numbers.
very nice.
professor beech is
gonna like these.
I don't know.
because what about
slime disposal?
I don't see anything
in here about those costs.
I know. I know.
I put that under
by-product management.
a 1% contingency?
didn't you read
the bankruptcy report?
it said that
the average cost
for refitting a zinc-lead
blast furnace was upwards
of a million nine!
ok, yeah, but if you
amortize it by--
you can't amortize
what you don't own, Julia.
this was supposed to be
a low cost startup.
and we haven't even mentioned
personnel retraining,
pension and health,
site management.
Maggie's
got a good point.
I think we got
a lot of work to do here.
does anyone else
want to take a crack
at these numbers?
here, sweetheart,
it's right here.
can't you taste it?
all you got to do
is pull.
you can do it.
(sighs)
she won't take it.
maybe she's not hungry.
let's give your wife
another try.
why is she gonna
take it from me
if she won't even
take it from him?
if we've already tried,
like, 8 dozen times--
daph, come on.
(sighs)
(crying)
see? She wants
to be with him.
she's crying because
she smells your milk.
I can't--
I can't take this.
would somebody
take her please?
somebody?
hey. Shh...
shh.
it's gonna be ok.
look at that.
she really doesn't like me.
does she?
Mr. beech,
can I talk to you
for a second?
I just want to know
if I can make a switch.
why do you
want to switch?
well, I'm just--
it's just not
working out in my group.
sir, if you
can just give me--
I'll get to everyone,
people.
not working out how?
personality wise,
I guess.
if I'm gonna
shuffle rosters,
I need a reason.
ok. Uh...Well,
it's kind of a...
well, it's kind of
a boyfriend problem.
boyfriend?
what boyfriend?
my roommate's. Or mine.
well, hers and then mine.
both.
it's the same.
he's the same.
good. Who's next?
anyone here
with a real problem?
professor beech,
which problem sets...
buddy, you're doing
a great job, you know that?
you're being a very,
very, very big help.
yeah. Big help.
so, uh, aren't you
going back to school?
haven't you
been here a long time?
sure.
I'm going back.
as soon as
I organize her clothes
and sterilize her bottles
and hang up this mobile,
wherever it goes.
and, you know,
pay some bills
that Charlie,
like, totally missed.
find Diana's crib sheets--
ok, so not today.
uh, no. Not today.
now where's that
baby monitor?
it was right here.
where...what did I do--
oh.
oh...god...you're both--
you ok?
uh...i'm--I'm fine.
jule?
what's wrong?
(crying)
I'm just--I'm just--
I don't even have
any laundry.
I'm sorry.
whatever it is,
I'm sorry.
oh, god.
I'm such
a waste of oxygen and
nutrients and tuition.
catch me up here a little?
uh...it's not the end
of the world, ok?
and it's just my first
grade at Stanford.
it's the first line on
my brand new transcript
and it's
a stupid incomplete.
oh, man.
and you know the reason
I'm dropping the course?
it's not a death
in the family,
or cancer,
or a premature baby.
it's just this--
this stupid
horrible thing that i--
god, what am i--
I can't talk to you
about this.
why not?
'cause I know
how you feel about this.
you told me
how you feel about this,
and you won't understand.
and it'll only make me
feel worse, so i--i can't.
Dr. nampur:
Mrs. salinger?
today's your day.
you're free
to go home.
just sign this form
and your internist
can release you.
I'm free to go?
yeah. Unless
you don't feel ready.
you can always request
an extra day.
no. I mean, that's ok.
I mean,
I don't feel not ready.
thanks.
are you--
are you sure that
we shouldn't keep your
room for an extra day?
I mean...
if we're gonna
keep trying
to feed Diana
every couple hours...
I mean, there's a cot
for me, but...
don't you want
a decent place to sleep?
well, maybe I should
sleep at home.
but you want to get
bounced back and forth
in a car 12 times a day?
when your stitches
aren't even healed
up yet?
no...but, um, maybe...
maybe you could handle
some of the feedings
without me.
'cause you don't really
need me if you're just
trying to bottle feed her.
well, then, uh...
what if I stayed?
would you feel bad
if I stayed?
no. It's fine.
I mean, if anything
happens, we'll call.
but, I mean,
if I go home, is that ok?
sure. As long as
that's what you want.
yeah.
(sighs)
Are you trying
to tell me something?
uh-huh.
What's wrong?
I don't know.
I don't know. I'm just--
another long day?
do you remember
when you wanted
to go to Oakland
to watch the fires?
and I was scared
that a cinder
was gonna fall on me
and send my hair up
in flames.
and you said
I was nuts, you know,
'cause we were
gonna be watching from
miles and miles away.
well, you were right.
I mean,
I was absolutely nuts.
but, still,
it was how I felt.
and...
the idea of sex
right now...
it's kind of
the same as that.
what, you're afraid
you're gonna catch on fire?
I'm serious, Bailey.
this is serious.
you know, maybe--maybe
it doesn't make sense.
but I can't help
thinking about,
if, god forbid,
you know,
I got pregnant,
and the father
was somebody who...
you know, really
didn't want to be...
Sarah, you know that--
yeah, I know.
you would support me.
I know that.
but you wouldn't
really want that baby,
would you?
so, basically,
I would be alone.
I would be going
through all that alone.
that's scary.
Bailey, I mean,
that really scares me.
you know, it makes me
feel so not-safe.
you know, like,
sex with you
is really unsafe.
Mr. salinger.
hmm?
what?
yeah?
it's time to try
another feeding.
where is your wife?
look--no, she's not...
she's not here?
she wanted--
I sent her home.
I don't understand
why she isn't here.
doesn't she realize
how important it is--
look, you don't know
the first thing
about her, ok?
because, first of all--
first of all, she's scared.
my...wife is scared
and so am I.
and so would anybody--
excuse me, sir.
I think she's feeding.
oh, my god.
just make sure
you keep this upright.
don't let too much air
get in--
would you please be quiet?
my baby's trying to eat.
Thought I might
find you here.
it's not a very good
hiding place, is it?
the ws...
when you've got
that woolf paper
due yesterday?
where else would you be?
unless...
were you hiding from me?
Maggie mostly, but...
yeah, you a little.
why me?
because I led you
down that thorny path
of temptation?
and you're...What...
starting to wonder
if we made a mistake?
well, yeah.
and, probably, you're
not only doubting us.
you're doubting
yourself.
'cause this is
how things started
with Griffin, right?
while you were
seeing someone else.
the Yale guy.
Justin.
so just once, you'd like
to start things up...
the way they're
supposed to...
with both of you
free and uninvolved.
that's--
yeah, that's exactly
what I've been thinking.
I wish it went that way,
too, Julia.
it's too bad it didn't.
you know, if it feels
wrong to you,
I don't see it
that way,
but...I'll get
out of your way.
no, ned.
that's not what I'm--
no.
Daphne, we're home!
the baby's home.
minor diaper crisis.
potentially major.
what happened?
we were driving home,
and I heard this noise
that was so unreal,
I almost pulled over
to check the engine.
you're already--
you checked her out
already?
she ate every hour
all night,
her weight got up
to almost 4,
and all of a sudden,
the doctor just said
fine, let her go.
which brings us to this
overflow situation.
ok, uh, diapers? Wipes?
anyone, where is everything?
Charlie,
everything is still
in the car.
we had no idea
you'd be home this soon.
ok. Quick,
I need some kleenex.
quick! Hurry!
Uh, check the hamper.
whatever looks like a diaper.
oh, my god.
ugh.
how about this?
will this do?
that's my earthquake
series t-shirt.
you got to put
something on her.
look! She's pushing.
she's ready to blow.
ok. We'll burn the shirt.
ok. Wait. The tape.
give me the tape.
ok. Ready?
There...
(passes gas)
Oh.
you're home late.
yeah. God, you know,
with, uh, everything that's
been happening with the baby,
I've just been kind of
letting things slip,
you know,
like this biolab thing
that's due on Friday,
plus I have to write
my romantic poets paper,
and I only have 3 more days.
well...
if you have to work,
I guess I should, too.
unless...
is that it?
did you want
to say anything?
nope.
uh-uh.
ok.
well, then I guess
I'll see you
after closing.
yeah. Great.
um...
don't be late.
Wow. Is that
an actual smile,
or...just gas?
I don't know.
I never had one
of these so young.
hey, you got a minute?
not really, claud.
I need to keep her moving.
'cause there's some--
there's some stuff
going on with Owen,
and i--i just don't know
what to do about it.
what, he's acting
kind of jealous,
doesn't want to
give up his room?
well, yeah, that--
I did that when
Bailey came along.
Bailey did it
with Julia.
you did it
when Owen showed up.
I did?
yeah.
it's totally normal,
claud.
it's nothing
to worry about.
it's just that, Charlie,
if you had seen
what Owen did
with Diana's mobile--
I can't right now,
claud, ok?
just trust me.
whatever it is,
it happens all the time.
(baby fussing)
shh...shh...
(snoring)
Hmm?
what?
hi.
you are the single
loudest sleeper
I have ever known.
you do not simply snore.
you move furniture around
in your sinuses.
kinda like--
(imitates loud snoring)
you hate me now.
no! No.
you have no idea.
to finally meet someone
louder than me...
Julia "hacksaw" salinger.
'cause my last, he--he was--
he--
what, he was harsh
on you for it?
no.
no. I just said "my last."
you're my first since him.
since Griffin.
and that's something
I used to be really...
afraid of.
you know? Taking that step?
with someone new?
and now I did it.
and it's done. And...
and what?
nothing. Just...
I feel good.
Bailey?
is everything all right?
when I got into bed...
you reached across me
and you put your hand
on me, on my chest.
you were sleeping.
uh-huh.
and?
and...you were
just being sweet.
but, I'm sorry,
you--you touching me,
that does stuff.
that...
makes me want stuff.
I'm sorry.
I didn't realize--
no. It's ok.
I want you
to do that stuff.
I want that stuff
to happen.
Bailey--
and I know that
it can't right now.
but--
it's that important?
sex is that important?
well, it's not
just the sex, Sarah.
it's all
the stuff that...
comes along with it.
you know?
the feeling
that you want me,
the feeling
that you trust me,
and the feeling
that we're actually
that close.
and after we've had
all that stuff,
then anything less
than that...
it's just not enough.
what--what does that mean...
that it's not enough?
I mean,
maybe we should...
maybe we should
take some time apart.
I can't believe this.
maybe I should go
back home and stay there
for a little while.
I can't believe this.
(baby crying)
Daphne.
it's time.
she's hungry.
oh...what?
no.
I'm too tired.
I don't want to do this.
can't you feed her?
can't you just
give her a bottle?
you said you hated
the pump.
it's the only way
if you want her
to learn.
this is not gonna work.
it never works.
See? She doesn't want me,
Charlie.
she doesn't
know you yet.
but you're her mother.
just let her--
no, you don't understand.
I'm just--
I'm no good at this.
I just--
I don't--i don't feel it.
shh.
come here.
I mean, this baby
comes out of my belly,
she's supposed to be
my heaven and earth, right?
what's the first thing
I do when I get a chance?
I take off. I head home.
and you know what, Charlie?
I felt--i felt glad
to be gone.
look...
you're tired, and...
you've got postpartum.
it happens
to every mother.
no! Stop calling me that.
I'm not a mother.
I'm not a mother!
why did you call
this baby Diana?
because that was
your mother's name.
and why was she your mother,
because she squeezed you out?
no. It's because
she loved you
and because
she wanted you.
because she stuck around
your whole damn life.
and she bathed you
and dressed you
and raised you.
and that is not me.
it's just not.
someday maybe...
but not today.
it's not me.
I know how you feel,
but I've taken 4 extra days
already.
well, then take
another one.
I mean,
one less day of shop
is not gonna put
a dent in those kids'
education.
it's my job, Daphne.
I want to keep it.
and you're gonna be ok.
no, I won't! I won't!
listen, I felt
the same way myself.
but then somebody
handed me the baby,
and, wham,
I had to deal.
but I don't know how
to take care of her,
Charlie!
if something happens,
I don't know how to fix it!
then learn!
she's your kid, too.
I can't do
all this myself.
look, if something
goes wrong,
just call me.
you have to be able
to do this, Daphne, ok?
can't you see
I am desperate here?!
ok. Fine.
I'll call Kirsten.
I'll ask her
to come over.
she'll be your backup.
I'll come by
in a couple of days
to pick up mail.
and as far
as phone calls--
I'll just leave them
on the machine.
you can call in and get them
when I'm not here, if you want.
you know what
I don't get, Bailey?
is that you work
really hard
to have all this stuff
in your life--
you know,
the grownup stuff--
business,
the apartment...
but the one thing I need you
to be grown up about,
you can't handle it.
and that's really sad,
'cause otherwise, Bailey,
you come so close.
Claud,
what are you doing?
well, this is the garbage,
and this is
the kind of can
we put it into--
what's going on here?
why aren't you
back at school?
did you call them,
and they said you could
take an extra week
or something?
well, technically...
not exactly.
Claudia, come on.
this is serious.
that school,
it costs a lot of money.
oh, who cares about
the money, Bailey?
I mean, come on.
Charlie needs me here.
no. I know.
I know he needs help.
but does he have
any idea what's going on
with your school?
has he asked you
when you're going back?
of course not.
I mean, he has enough
to worry about.
exactly.
that's exactly right.
Charlie already has
way too much
to think about.
and it's great that
you're worried, claud,
but you're a kid, ok?
and you belong
in school.
you still have
your plane ticket,
right?
ok. Why don't
you get packed,
and I'll call
the airline,
and we'll get you
on a flight today, ok?
Ok, I get it.
you slept over there
with him, and you're
going back tonight.
it's cool. I don't care.
because you 2...
all you did was...
you needed each other
to get away from Griffin
and me.
and you wanted to feel
romantic about it,
instead of all selfish
or guilty or whatever,
so you went and had sex.
but that's all you have.
just that.
you don't have
what we had.
you don't have 2 years
of being friends,
and then one night,
when you can't stand not
being together anymore,
you break down
and you fall in love.
so go ahead...
have fun.
I give it a month.
Daphne?
claud?
hello. Is anyone--
(baby crying)
can't you be quiet,
please?
could you just
stop crying?
you just--
you just have to wait
for Kirsten to get here
because she knows
what to do.
she'll--she'll--she'll
change you and--and feed you
and rock you
or--or something.
and--and then everything's
gonna be ok.
(baby crying louder)
oh, come on. Can't you
just hang in there?
can you? She's just
a few blocks away,
and she's so good
with babies!
oh! Oh! She's so patient.
she's so understanding.
and that is really
who you need right now.
(crying continues)
ok. Look, I'm thinking
that I'm gonna need
to pick you up right now.
but I'm not really
good at this, ok?
so you're really not gonna
feel confident here.
oh...god.
♪ Hush, little baby ♪
♪ don't you cry ♪
(crying continues)
♪ Daphne's gonna improv
a reason why ♪
(crying continues)
Thanks for, uh,
giving me a ride,
Griffin.
I mean,
you'd think after
he'd made me leave,
Bailey would at least
find the time to--
aw, forget it, claud.
I'm glad to do it.
man,
I just can't believe
I'm...leaving.
I can't believe
I'm going so far
away again.
you'll be back. Christmas
is right around the corner.
Griffin...can you
do me a favor?
can you take
a picture of Diana
every once
in a while?
just send it to me
at school, ok?
sure. No problem.
and one more thing...
and just...Watch out
for Owen, ok?
ok.
What are you doing here?
why aren't you
at your apartment?
um, I'm going to be
staying here
for a little while.
really?
yep.
how come?
well, I kinda...
there kinda wasn't
room for me anymore.
yeah. Me, neither.
Hi. How is it go--
shh! She's sleeping.
she's finally sleeping.
is everything ok?
did you--you
and Kirsten do ok?
no. She called.
it turns out
she couldn't come over.
some crisis with her cat.
so...you did it alone?
if I tried to cry
as much as she did,
I would need surgery
on my vocal cords,
like...stat.
but she stopped.
I mean, look.
this is 10 straight hours
of rocking and changing
and begging.
oh, yeah--
and breast-feeding.
really? She did it?
I just--i stuck it
in her mouth to,
you know, shut her up.
she took it,
and once she started--
oh, man--she was like me
in a breakfast buffet.
it was like...Hoover city.
You want me to take her?
you could probably
use some rest.
no, no. It's fine.
ok.
