1. - Ow.
- Sorry.
Copy !req
2. - Daddy, can I ask you something?
- We finish brushing first.
Copy !req
3. Daddy! But I really
wanna ask you something.
Copy !req
4. Okay, what do you want to ask me?
Copy !req
5. When are we gonna
go to mom's again?
Copy !req
6. Okay. Tomorrow I take you to school.
And then mom picks you up.
Copy !req
7. And then you're with her for a few
days, and then you come back here.
Copy !req
8. Well, okay.
Copy !req
9. I like mommy's better.
Copy !req
10. I like mommy's better
because she makes good food.
Copy !req
11. And I love her more
so I like being there more.
Copy !req
12. Okay. Alright, baby.
Copy !req
13. I like being here too.
Copy !req
14. It's just... mom's better.
Copy !req
15. Okay.
Copy !req
16. Let's rinse and spit, alright?
Copy !req
17. Go on! Alright, go get on your PJs!
Copy !req
18. Okay baby!
Copy !req
19. So, I've got 2 kids, 5 and 9.
Copy !req
20. And I... I love it.
I love having kids but it's hard.
Copy !req
21. It can be very difficult.
Copy !req
22. One thing that's difficult is that
they are very different ages.
Copy !req
23. Very different developmental stages.
Copy !req
24. And, uh, I have them to myself
when I have them.
Copy !req
25. My ex-wife and I split
custody. I'm with them half the week
Copy !req
26. I have to find things that
the 3 of us can do together.
Copy !req
27. Now, my 9 year old can do a lot.
Copy !req
28. She got a lot of skills,
a lot of things she can do.
Copy !req
29. The 5 year old's not
much good at anything really.
Copy !req
30. And it's not to put her, she's five
Copy !req
31. but she's shitty at
pretty much everything.
Copy !req
32. We can't do things that
outclass her abilities.
Copy !req
33. So we just have to be all dragged
down to her shitty skill level.
Copy !req
34. We're like three 5-year-olds
of different sizes, basically.
Copy !req
35. Because nothing. Let's go for a bike
riding at the river.
Copy !req
36. "I'm not very confident on my
bicycle". Okay, let's just sit...
Copy !req
37. And play the card game,
where no one loses.
Copy !req
38. We went swimming one time.
The three of us. That was a nightmare
Copy !req
39. because we're in this pool.
There was a deep and a shallow end.
Copy !req
40. The older one is in the deep end,
the 9-year-old she's having...
Copy !req
41. a ball. But she's lonely.
Who wants to swim by themselves?
Copy !req
42. Cause I'm in the shower with the
little one, who's clinging to my leg.
Copy !req
43. In fear. "Don't put me
in the water!" I'm like...
Copy !req
44. It's not... it's this... it's
to your tits at the highest.
Copy !req
45. Just stand there.
It's fine.
Copy !req
46. No, I'm gonna drown,
there's sharks!
Copy !req
47. Why would I lie to you?
Copy !req
48. Really? I would put you in
and "Haha, you're drowning!"
Copy !req
49. "I tricked you to death"?
Copy !req
50. Really, I'm gonna do that?
Copy !req
51. If I wanted to kill you,
I'd wait 'till you're asleep
Copy !req
52. and go like this for 4 minutes.
And then it's over.
Copy !req
53. Okay? That's how easy
it would be to kill you.
Copy !req
54. You should thank me every
morning you wake up alive.
Copy !req
55. That's how easy it
would be to kill you.
Copy !req
56. I know how to look after you!
Copy !req
57. I'm good at it!
You're not dead yet!
Copy !req
58. Lily, do your homework.
Copy !req
59. Stop reading and do
your homework, please.
Copy !req
60. Goddamn I hate being ignored.
I really do. I really hate it.
Copy !req
61. Please. Homework.
Do it, please.
Copy !req
62. - Sorry, daddy.
- It's okay, thank you very much.
Copy !req
63. - Here you go.
- Thank you, daddy.
Copy !req
64. You're welcome.
Copy !req
65. Can I have a mango pop?
Copy !req
66. No, there's only one.
Copy !req
67. That's not fair.
Copy !req
68. - It's not fair, daddy.
- What?
Copy !req
69. Lily got a mango pop and I didn't get one.
Copy !req
70. Yup.
Copy !req
71. Well, that's not fair.
Copy !req
72. I don't know even
know what that means.
Copy !req
73. - Why does she get one, and not me?
- Cause she's a separate person from you.
Copy !req
74. You're never gonna get the same things as
other people. It's never gonna be equal.
Copy !req
75. It's not gonna happen every of your life so,
you must learn that now, okay?
Copy !req
76. Well then I get something else yummy
Copy !req
77. - I get something else.
- What do you mean you get?
Copy !req
78. - I get something else yummy.
- No, nobody.
Copy !req
79. Okay, nobody gets anything.
Copy !req
80. She got something.
She got a mango pop.
Copy !req
81. Yep. That's... That's...
Right now she's lucky.
Copy !req
82. And you're not particularly lucky.
Copy !req
83. Maybe later you'll be lucky.
Copy !req
84. - Maybe...
- But it's so not fair!
Copy !req
85. You only should be concerned with
what somebody else—
Copy !req
86. It's not fair!
Copy !req
87. I'm telling you something right now.
You should only ever be concerned
Copy !req
88. - with...
- You are not fair.
Copy !req
89. The only time you look
in your neighbors bowl
Copy !req
90. is to make sure
that they have enough.
Copy !req
91. You don't look at your neighbour's
bowl to see if they have..
Copy !req
92. ..it's to make sure you have
Copy !req
93. as much as them. You want to
just make sure that they are...
Copy !req
94. - Can I please have some calcium chocolate?
- Yes, you can have a calcium chocolate.
Copy !req
95. Make sure your
sister gets one too.
Copy !req
96. - Thank you, daddy.
- Yeah, you're welcome.
Copy !req
97. Oh my God!
Copy !req
98. - Oh holy sh...
- Let me give you a hug, little brother.
Copy !req
99. God!
Copy !req
100. - Where are those little pieces of shit?
- Girls!
Copy !req
101. - Hello!
- Girls!
Copy !req
102. - It's your aunt Gretchen.
- Oh... my... God.
Copy !req
103. - Yay.
- Oh my God!
Copy !req
104. Oh, I want to kill you both,
I hate you so much.
Copy !req
105. - What are you doing here?
- Oh, I'm not staying,
Copy !req
106. - I'm just in town to get procedure tomorrow.
- No, no, you're staying.
Copy !req
107. - Dude, I'm fine.
- Shut up yourself.
Copy !req
108. - You're staying.
- I just wanted to surprise you.
Copy !req
109. Come on, get in.
Copy !req
110. Get inside.
Copy !req
111. - They're sleeping now.
- Huh. Wow.
Copy !req
112. It's 8 o'clock. You're amazing.
And good dinner too.
Copy !req
113. You're really doing the
dad thing for real.
Copy !req
114. Yeah, well...
Copy !req
115. Seriously, Louie. Some of didn't know
if you were gonna show up for this.
Copy !req
116. - I know. Me too.
- But you're really doing it.
Copy !req
117. No, you're not a bullshit
Sunday dad, like some people we know.
Copy !req
118. You're raising your girls.
Copy !req
119. Well, I get a lot out of it too.
Copy !req
120. I love having 'em here,
they keep me company.
Copy !req
121. - Yeah.
- You know it's not boring, I mean...
Copy !req
122. Alright, there are times when
I wish that... they weren't alive.
Copy !req
123. Yeah.
Copy !req
124. It gets hard though.
It can be hard.
Copy !req
125. Well, no shit. And they need it.
They need their dad.
Copy !req
126. Especially when they're mom
is such a piece of shit.
Copy !req
127. - Please, don't.
- She sucks shit out of a sprinkler.
Copy !req
128. Listen, I gotta be at peace
with her, you know?
Copy !req
129. I mean her folks probably
say the same shit about me.
Copy !req
130. I'm sure they do.
And F them, and F her.
Copy !req
131. I know you don't go there
but I get to say what I want.
Copy !req
132. I had to go to that stupid wedding
of yours and pretend. Not anymore.
Copy !req
133. - Please stop.
- Yeah, but kinda keep going, right?
Copy !req
134. I know. She's your kid's mom.
Copy !req
135. And you made her that and
when you made that choice.
Copy !req
136. You had to live with that
but I didn't.
Copy !req
137. So, I get to say that pasty,
Copy !req
138. big tittied, black-eyed
Guinea bitch can suck my dick.
Copy !req
139. Oh, wow, daddy, that's harsh.
Copy !req
140. Okay.
Copy !req
141. - When are you due?
- 2 months.
Copy !req
142. - Maybe.
- Maybe?
Copy !req
143. Well, since I lost the last one
I don't believe anything they say.
Copy !req
144. - And so...
- So, who's the dad?
Copy !req
145. - It's an interesting question.
- Who cares?
Copy !req
146. - Okay.
- No, there is no dad.
Copy !req
147. There's no dad?
Copy !req
148. Donor number 647.
Copy !req
149. - Ah, okay.
- And uhm...
Copy !req
150. Carlos and I aren't together anymore.
Copy !req
151. And after we lost the last one...
Copy !req
152. I am sorry.
Copy !req
153. Shit.
Copy !req
154. When we lost the last one...
Copy !req
155. We just went through too much.
Copy !req
156. You know it got ugly. And...
Copy !req
157. He left and...
Copy !req
158. I looked in my life and...
Copy !req
159. I said "screw it"!
Copy !req
160. You know I'm in my 40s.
I'm fatter than shit.
Copy !req
161. I don't want a man,
I wanna be a mom.
Copy !req
162. Mom is... the only person
I ever admired, you know?
Copy !req
163. Yeah.
Copy !req
164. - You're going to be an uncle.
- Good, man.
Copy !req
165. - That's alright.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
166. When you get divorced, you
don't get divorced right on time.
Copy !req
167. Nobody gets divorced right,
Copy !req
168. perfect. It just went bah, now!
Let's stop.
Copy !req
169. That's not what happens.
Copy !req
170. You get divorced after
being in a... just a shit
Copy !req
171. marriage for several years.
Copy !req
172. And you were only aware of it for one
Copy !req
173. because... by the way I know you're
all getting quiet and sad.
Copy !req
174. It's not... It's not...
Copy !req
175. I'm not saying don't get married.
By the way: go ahead and get married.
Copy !req
176. Fall in love. Get married.
And then get divorced.
Copy !req
177. And raise your kids properly in
2 well-adjusted happy homes.
Copy !req
178. What can be better than that?
Copy !req
179. Would you rather grow up
in a home full of just gnarly.
Copy !req
180. This shit passed on
from generation to ge...
Copy !req
181. You know, like an unbroken
chain of shitty marriages.
Copy !req
182. And they're all like weigh
on this one little child's head. This big.
Copy !req
183. And it's grandma and
grandpa's shit marriage.
Copy !req
184. And the parent and the kids like...
Copy !req
185. And the kid carries it through their life,
Copy !req
186. until he finds someone else
to give him the half of it.
Copy !req
187. And now they have two and they
crush it down on another kid's head.
Copy !req
188. It's just humane...
Copy !req
189. to go let his kid be in 2
houses full of people
Copy !req
190. that are just and having fun.
Copy !req
191. And not yelling at each other.
Copy !req
192. It's fair to do that.
Copy !req
193. Oh my God.
Copy !req
194. Gretchen?
Copy !req
195. - Oh Jesus.
- Gretchen.
Copy !req
196. - What's the matter?
- That hurts.
Copy !req
197. You're having a baby right now?
Copy !req
198. No, it hurts in a different kinda hurt.
Copy !req
199. - Ah, my baby's dying.
- No-no-no...
Copy !req
200. Oh no.
Get me to the hospital.
Copy !req
201. - Just a second.
- Get me.
Copy !req
202. - I'm calling 911.
- No, no, get me to a hospital!
Copy !req
203. - Just get me there.
- Gretchen, I need you to just...
Copy !req
204. Alright, just a second.
Copy !req
205. - Get me to the hospital.
- Who's knocking at
Copy !req
206. the goddamn door!
Copy !req
207. What?
Copy !req
208. - Who are you?
- We are neighbours from across the hall.
Copy !req
209. We heard screaming.
Copy !req
210. I'm sorry, we're having
a pregnant emergency right now.
Copy !req
211. No, friend, you misunderstand. We didn't come
to complain, we came because someone's hurt.
Copy !req
212. What? What?
Copy !req
213. - We came to help. To help you.
- No, thank you very much.
Copy !req
214. My friend, my friend.
Stop for a second.
Copy !req
215. Think. Take a breath.
Thinking will help. Hyperventilating will not.
Copy !req
216. Tell me your situation.
Copy !req
217. Why she's screaming? We don't think you're
hurting her, but tell me what's going on.
Copy !req
218. Alright, okay, okay!
Copy !req
219. Okay, okay, okay.
Copy !req
220. It's okay.
Copy !req
221. Tell me. What?
Copy !req
222. My sister's pregnant, and she's
having a bad pain.
Copy !req
223. And I'm alone with her, but I
have my kids here. I don't know what—
Copy !req
224. It's okay. Peter will stay with the children,
you and I will take your sister to the hospital.
Copy !req
225. - No, no, no.
- Friend.
Copy !req
226. You have no choice.
Copy !req
227. We are your neighbours.
If we steal your kids,
Copy !req
228. just come knock on the door,
and we'll give them back.
Copy !req
229. Peter is a born mother. You need
help getting her to the hospital.
Copy !req
230. I called 911.
Copy !req
231. If your emergency is of
a medical nature...
Copy !req
232. - 911 is for shit.
- Such assholes.
Copy !req
233. Brother.
Copy !req
234. Do not let your sister die
from pain or lose her baby,
Copy !req
235. because you're awkward with strangers.
Copy !req
236. You have to think fast
and make the right choice.
Copy !req
237. Let's go.
Copy !req
238. Let's go.
Copy !req
239. Oh God no.
Copy !req
240. Okay. We're going to the hospital.
Copy !req
241. Oh my God.
Copy !req
242. Do they have any food allergies?
Copy !req
243. What? No!
Copy !req
244. Oh shit.
Copy !req
245. Taxi! Taxi!
Copy !req
246. Taxi! Hey!
Copy !req
247. Asshole!
Copy !req
248. Nobody's stopping.
Copy !req
249. Would you? Look at us.
Copy !req
250. Take her please. Take her.
Copy !req
251. Hey! He's going to take us.
Copy !req
252. Oh God! Ow!
Copy !req
253. Thank you!
Copy !req
254. Help!
Copy !req
255. Help now! Help!
Copy !req
256. Please. Please.
Copy !req
257. Two months! Two months!
Copy !req
258. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
259. I'm fine.
Copy !req
260. Okay.
Copy !req
261. Excuse me.
Copy !req
262. Thank you very much, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
263. Dude.
Copy !req
264. So, you going to be OK?
Copy !req
265. Yeah, she's already asleep, so...
Copy !req
266. - The kids didn't wake up?
- No. Darn it. I wanted to see them.
Copy !req
267. Well we should do that sometime.
Copy !req
268. - Good night.
- Thank you. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
269. - Good night, my friend.
- Hey.
Copy !req
270. Yes? Yes?
Copy !req
271. I know it was just a fart, but...
Copy !req
272. I couldn't have gone
through that without you.
Copy !req
273. That's okay.
Copy !req
274. I just I was really...
Copy !req
275. scared.
Copy !req
276. I was really scared.
Copy !req
277. That's because she's not my sister.
Copy !req
278. That's why you need neighbours,
Copy !req
279. people that aren't in your family to
help you when you need it.
Copy !req
280. Well I didn't even know
you guys were there.
Copy !req
281. No, you didn't.
Copy !req
282. But now you do.
Now you who your neighbours are.
Copy !req
283. Don't forget it.
Copy !req
284. Good night!
Copy !req
285. I have a new friend.
Copy !req
286. Which is weird, I'm 43.
Copy !req
287. And I'm a father, I'm divorced.
I have a new friend.
Copy !req
288. And it makes me a little sick to
my stomach, I don't like it.
Copy !req
289. Do you ever make a new friend?
Copy !req
290. When you young people make new friends,
it's easy 'cause you're just young
Copy !req
291. and you just... you're fabulous
Copy !req
292. I'm 43, and when I'm starting
to make a friend it's creepy.
Copy !req
293. It's creepy like... I hung out
with this guy who I don't know.
Copy !req
294. And then I was like... I'm
inside my head, I want to see him again.
Copy !req
295. I wanna see this guy again.
Copy !req
296. If I just let him go
Copy !req
297. I'll never see him again.
I need to say something.
Copy !req
298. And I felt so sick,
like I felt... so disgusting.
Copy !req
299. Why did it bother me so much to say to
this fella "I'd like to see you again."
Copy !req
300. It's just... I realized it was
because I was afraid
Copy !req
301. that he might say no.
Copy !req
302. I was afraid
Copy !req
303. of being rejected!
Copy !req
304. I don't wanna make
him say that, but I did.
Copy !req
305. I said I'd really like to...
hang out again.
Copy !req
306. And he said "Yeah. Okay" and uhm...
Copy !req
307. .. and then I ate his asshole.
Copy !req
308. It's my new friend!
Copy !req
309. What are friends for?
Copy !req
310. If you don't eat your friend's
asshole with your tongue
Copy !req
311. you're a piece of shit, you're not
a friend, you're not a friend.
Copy !req
312. You're a fairweather friend.
Copy !req
313. I love that kid!
I love that kid to pieces.
Copy !req
314. But I wish she was never born.
Copy !req
315. That's how it feels.
Copy !req
316. In certain tiny moments.
Copy !req
317. Any parent who's
honest will tell you
Copy !req
318. that you live with that ambivalence.
Copy !req
319. You just have it. You look at
the face of your beautiful, lovely child.
Copy !req
320. And you think two things
at the exact same time.
Copy !req
321. I love this kid so much
that it's changed my whole life.
Copy !req
322. I love people, other people more,
because of how much I love her.
Copy !req
323. I love people that died
years ago more.
Copy !req
324. Like my love has traveled time.
Copy !req
325. Because of how much
I love her and she loves me back.
Copy !req
326. She's completely given value
to life that didn't exist before.
Copy !req
327. And I regret every decision
that led to her birth.
Copy !req
328. That's how it feels!
Copy !req
