- What's her actual name?
- Renya.
- The subway is--
- Is an underground tin can
full of perverts.
- You have been listening.
- Yes!
You're the one who never
listens to me!
[Bianca] This place is amazing,
Frankie!
- The only that's missing
is you next door.
[Richard] Forrest, you home?!
You know I've always wondered--
Whaaaaaa!
- Ahhhhhh!
- Noooooooooooo!
- Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!
- Oh my God!
- Oh God, Richard,
I'm so sorry!
- Kate!

- [Anne] On your knees, bitch!
- [Alice, shrill scream]
- Oh my God!
- Okay, honey! Honey,
honey, honey, it's okay.
It's okay. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- What the hell, Mom?!
- Honey, we talked about
practicing street safety,
right? So your dad and I could
feel comfortable
that you would be okay
on the subway.
- This is not what I had
in mind.
- Well, I'm sorry,
but a pervert can strike
anytime, anywhere.
The most intrepid pervert
is a subway pervert.
So lesson learned.
- How long were you in there?
- Awhile.
- I'm not a baby.
I'm ready now.
- No, you're not. Not yet.
You haven't even learned
the dick kick yet.
Your greatest weapon
is a swift,
strong kick to the dick.
Let's try it.
- Here? On the street?
- KICK ME IN THE DICK, ALICE!
- Everything okay here?
- No!
- Yes!
Do you wanna ride the subway
or not?
- Fine! But can you attack me
inside next time?
- Deal.

[Heavy breathing and grunting]
[Kate] Oh God! It keeps slipping
out of my damn hands.
[Loud thump]
Damn! It doesn't even make
sense.
Did it gain weight?
Has it been eating something?
- You look so hot right now.
- Okay, look, we gotta talk,
okay?
I fear I may have misled you.
What you said at your dad's--
- That I love you?
- Yep. That. Um...
what we've had has been very
special.
- I agree. No, like I totally
agree with you.
- Mm. Um, but I'm not capable
of loving anyone right now,
not even myself.
- [Sighs] You sound just like
my dad.
After you left,
he lectured me forever
about how May/December romances
never work.
- May/Decem--? May/July maybe.
[Chuckles]
- He said I have to end things.
He did not like what he saw,
you in your... your...
- Yup, no, I know,
I know what he saw.
But look, he's right, Forrest.
I'm sorry, but...
there's a big old world
for you to see.
You're only 25.
- I'm 22.
- Jesus Christ! Twenty--
[Clears throat] All right, no,
that's good, that's good.
We gotta pump the brakes on us,
okay?
- No! Okay, look, I'm gonna
have my own place,
a life plan, and my own
savings account.
- That's great.
That is awesome.
You are gonna make some young
woman very happy.
- No, Kate, I wanna make you
really happy, okay?
We belong together.
- Listen, it's over, okay?
We are over.
- For now. But you can't put
this fire out with a hose.
- That's exactly how you put
a fire out.
- No, not this fire.
This is an electrical fire.
- What? What're you talk--
- Or a grease fire.
- Forrest--
- We're not done.
- Mm, we are, okay?
I need you and this monster
out of my office.
- I think it looks dope in
here. We should just leave it.
- No, we can't. The vegan chef
clients are coming in;
it's gotta get outta here.
- I think the contractors left
a saw in the back, I could--
- Yes, please. Would you mind?
- See, Kate? You still need me.
- Mm... mm-mm.
- Mm-hmm.
- 22? Fuck!
Ah! Wendy! Linda! Welcome.
It's so nice to finally
meet you face to face.
- Oh, same. We've been shopping
around for a woman-run outfit.
- Yeah, someone who really gets
our needs as entrepreneurs
and new mothers.
- New mothers? Congratulations!
- Thank you. We adopted
about three months ago.
- Oh...
- She's almost one and we just,
we can't stand to be away
from her.
She's our little miracle, so.
Actually, she's... she's outside
right now with the nanny.
I hope that's okay.
- Attachment parenting.
- Not a problem at all.
[Garbage bag drags]
So, uh, look, this franchise
isn't gonna start itself.
So, uh, let's... uh, please,
let's peruse these materials.
[Garbage drags,
Kate clears her throat]
Look, people love
your restaurant,
but my goal is to help
your franchise
to not only expand the brand
but elevate it.
[Baby cries]
- Oh!
- Oh...
- Oh dear.
- Oh, would you like to check
on her?
- Could we? We told the nanny
to pester us
if she got fussy, so.
- I totally get it, please.
- See? I said get a mother
in charge.
Other mothers get it.
[Baby cries]
[Renya] I checked her
diaper, it's clean.
I don't know.
Kate.
[Linda] Oh! You two know
each other?
- Yes, we have a mutual...
friend.
- Well, that's fun.
[Linda] I think she just needs
a bottle.
Thanks, Renya, we'll be out
in a minute.
- 'Kay.
[Wendy, chuckles] She has such
a way with Zeph.
- And she reads my cards
every morning!
I'm learning a lot about myself.
- [Chuckles] Oh...
Let's dive in, shall we?
- Okay.
[Bianca] Mail delivery.
[Frankie] Oh my God, more?
Ugh, I'm so sorry.
What is this,
a hiking catalogue.
Oh, that horoscope newsletter
I signed up for.
God, I wish that wasn't daily.
Oh, it's just so much!
What? What's this?
Oh my God, I've got to stop
online shopping when I'm high.
- That's mine, actually.
Uh...
For this.
I've been thinking
about it a lot,
and I'm gonna try and have
a baby on my own.
- Wow!
- I know, right?
- I mean, wow!
- Right?!
- This is really exciting!
- Well, it might be if I could
work up the guts
to, uh, stick myself.
Needles freak me out.
I mean, how am I supposed
to handle childbirth
if I can't even inject myself
with some hormones?
- I know, they really are
the worst.
- Yeah.
- Giselle had to chase me
around the house
and pin me down.
- Oh...
- So what do you want,
gut or butt?
- Excuse me?
- Do you want your needle
in the gut -
shhwwwoop! -
or the butt?
- Oh, you wouldn't...
[Taps needle]
- One...
- Oh God... uh...
- Two...
- You are a good friend!
I hate you!
- Three! I'm goin' butt!
- Ahhhhhh! [Laughing]
[Linda] That works.
I love where your head's at
with the suburban market.
- Yeah, well, look,
hipster families are leaving
downtown
and they're taking their
veganism with them.
Thank you both for coming in.
Uh, before you guys go,
I just wanted to...
I feel the need to share
something with you guys.
It's just that your nanny...
just... watch out.
- That's ominous.
- Sorry, she worked for us,
briefly,
and, um, she stole something
from me.
- She stole something?
- Yeah, my um... my laptop.
- Oh.
- It was my grandmother's,
and it was very precious to me.
- That must've been very
upsetting.
- It was.
- Well, thank you for meeting
with us
and we'll be in touch
really shortly.
- Yes.

it's Kate Foster.
- Oh, hey, Kate.
- Yes, look, I've been giving
a lot of thought
to what you're up against
and I think I have an idea.
Essentially--
- I'm really glad you called.
I was just talking to Linda
about the whole nanny
situation.
First of all, thank you so much
for being candid about that.
We went ahead and let her go.
- [Guiltily] Oh?
- Yeah, she really made
a scene.
She was crying and crying,
but we can't have a thief
around the child.
- No, you can't.
- We were also kind of hoping
to find
a nanny who spoke Mandarin,
so... you know.
Anyways, you called us.
What can I do for you?
- Yes, um, I've been thinking
about it,
and I think you might get more
mileage from a combination
restaurant/takeout situation,
so people could pick up
a premade dinner
on their way home from work.
- Frozen meals.
Babe, frozen meals,
what do you think?
- Like Linda McCartney?
I love it!
- She says she loves it.
[Kate] Well, that's great news.
Um, let's connect later, okay?

- No, we're not. [Laughs]
And the way people were looking
at us at that store.
I was like, we are not an item.
- No! Can't a couple of single
lesbians
who are interested in
each other's fertility
baby-shop in peace without
being labeled lovers?! Like...
- Amen! Though, honestly,
it was giving me flashbacks
to my ex.
- I don't ever wanna be your ex!
- What?
- No, I don't ever wanna be
with you.
I'm glad you're single.
- Yeah, so am I.
