That I picked nathan jr. Up from school today.
- I convinced the board to reissue
"the raccoon and the rock." - what?
- I wanna get this right, jenny.
- Your pregnancy is high-risk. - No, it's not.
- Jesus, lionel,
What is going on with us? - (sighs)
- Wait, are you hiding something?
- What are you doing here? - Is annie here?
- No! No thank you! (door slams)
- You released some chapters. - The cat's out of the bag.
- Big mistake. Huge.
- Now, with pinworm season on the horizon,
I thought it only appropriate we talk about our fears.
Joseph and jacob: Mom? Mom? Oh! - Oh god.
- Joseph, jacob? What are you--
- We know we're supposed to register and shit,
But can crystal join your little group?
- Who is she? - Oh, just our girlfriend!
- "our?" - yeah! Full of our seed.
- Mm-hmm. - What?
- Val, I think they're trying to tell you
That you're gonna be a grandma. - Oh wait,
Which one of you is the father? - Oh, we don't know.
- What?! - Hang on a second.
How does this work, exactly?
- Is this like a threesome situation?
- He's my brother! Gross!
- Maya, don't pull back the veil on this.
- So...
She can join?
- (inhales deeply)
Of course, the more the merrier.
Crystal, jacob: Exactly! Nice! Val: Unbelievable.
- My dudes, please treat crystal here like
You would your own mother. Crystal: Come on!
- Okay, bye! Mm! Have fun! - Okay! Thank you.
Thank you, dudes. Peace!
- All right! I'm on fire!
- So, what are you guys talking about?
- Oh, um... Uh, val?
- Oh, just my biggest fear.
Which is certainly not my two monstrous children

It's one of two things:
Either charlie has an imaginary friend
Or, and this is a big or,
Charlie has contacted a spirit. - What?
- Kids see ghosts!
My aunt mona saw ghosts all the time when she was a kid,
And she was the life of the party.
- Was?
- Well, no one's seen her in 15 years.

Company this afternoon, right? - Holey loops.

Of that dreadful slogan?

Okay, okay, okay, okay!

She's at the wheel--
I should work on the cereal thing, though.
- So was everyone excited to find out you were pregnant?
- Oh, my reveal was... Usurped.
- No! By who?
- Nina harris.
An emotionally charged brown-noser at wynston.
Oh, and she got "the raccoon and the rock" re-issued.
- But I thought you were-- - yeah, me too.
But I guess the new girl gets whatever she asks for.
Oh, and by the way,
I am also going to be her mentor,
At her request.
- That's actually a huge compliment.
- Oh, I'm telling you, I don't trust this bitch.
I have worked too hard and too long to be replaced.
So if wynston thinks that I am just gonna step aside
For some-- what are you lookin' at?!
- Whoa! Sorry.
Namaste.
- You know, it sounds like you and nina
Are just very different people. - Clearly.
- But you know what?
Everybody in this park is different.
And you see that thing up there?
It still shines down on all of us.
Because there's always enough sunshine to go around.

Of holey loops cereal around here.
We love all the flavours.
The variety is second to none.
Now, I'd love to talk to you about the slogan.
- No, we don't touch the slogan.
- Oh, uh...
"a hole for every taste."
- Came up with it myself.
Pretty proud of it, actually. - Uh huh.
I just um, I don't think it speaks to the product.
- How do you mean? - Well, do you worry,
You know, that it could be misconstrued?
All the "hole" talk, a little bit confusing.
- Uh, I don't think it's confusing at all.
It's hole-shaped cereal,
That comes in many flavours. So it satisfies every taste.
It's quite simple, actually.
Even a complete idiot could understand it. (chuckles)
- Uh huh.
Thank you for coming in today.
I know this focus group was short notice,
But we wanted to get your thoughts and reactions
On a particular slogan.
What kind of product do you think this is a slogan for?
- It's for flavoured dental dams, duh!
- Interesting, sure.
Any other guesses?
Forrest? - What are dental dams?
- They're condoms,
But for muff-diving. - What?!
I've been putting myself at risk for all these years?
- I'm so sorry.
- I'll show you how they work if you wanna suit up.
- For real?
- Okay, so, it's uh, it's not a dental dam.
- How could it be a slogan for anything but a dental dam?
(all arguing at once)
- I can't believe you pulled this off so quickly.
- Are you kidding? These people have nowhere else to be.
- They're definitely proving your point.
Juniper: Maybe it's just me, but when it comes
To dental dams, I actually prefer the rubber flavour.
- Like, what kinda rubber, though? Tire? Rain boot?
- Yeah, this is insane, how are they supposed
To understand this without context?
- Fair, totally fair.
So, what if I told you that "a hole for every taste"
Was a cereal slogan?
All: Ohhhh!
Juniper: Nice! - See? They get it.
- Because like, the whole world gets to taste it.
- Wrong spelling of "hole," but very close.
- Ah, we're gettin' close, we're gettin' close.
Joseph: Yeah. - Because it's in a hole.
And they're hole-they're...
- I guess they're confused. - Hmm!
- What, is it like, whole milk, maybe?
Juniper: Which hole do you put the cereal in?
Is it dealer's choice? - No, no, no, no!
It tastes like different holes!
- Nope, wrong again, whew!
- Oh my god, guys!
It's hole-shaped cereal that comes in many flavours!
- Why didn't you just say that? - I did!
- Holes are all kinds of shapes, man.
- So stupid. - I think I used to work here.
- (sighs) okay,
You've made your point.
I'll talk to my partners, and we'll set up a follow-up.
- I think that's really smart, yeah.
Protesters: (chanting) we're clean, you're dirty!
- What's that chanting?
- Ugh! So many protests in the neighbourhood, very hip.
(chuckles) so maybe we could sit down next week?
- Uh, kate? A word?
- Just uh, one sec. And then we--
- Urgent! Sorry, uh, it's urgent.
