LILY: Okay, Jenny! You excited for

"take your perfect little
daughter to work" day?

- JENNY: Totally!
- LILY: That's my girl!

You finally get to see
mommy be a big boss!

How many kids in your
class can say that?

LILY: Fine... Fine...

Barf. Also barf...

And this doesn't look
like electric green to me.

I think they were sort
of trying to go with...

Jenny, what colour would you call this?

Booger green.

Exactly!

We want electric green,
not booger green,

not this grody, two-seasons-ago green.

[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]

Don't waste my time until it's perfect.

You'll see when you're running

You've got two choices:

You can spare people's feelings, or...

The f*ck?

NATHAN: I am so sorry about
all the crying last night.

That pill.

But I think it was kind of cathartic,
you know?

I don't care.

Look at this!

Wow, you really want me to
stop taking birth control, huh?

They're Nathan Jr's.
Did he buy a lifetime supply?

What are you doing?

Trying to find some room
in here for your lunch.

But with all these, um...

these condoms...

I guess you're done with
your vow of celibacy?

Unless...

Unless you're jerking off into them.

Why would I do that?

Just a lot of reasons, right?
I mean, sanitation,

sensitivity training, science project?

What kind of science project?!

Yeah, what kind
of science project, Kate?

Huh, well, you know, you do your thing,

and then you freeze it,
and then, you know...

- Cumsicle?
- NATHAN JR: Please stop.

Wh... what's happening?

NATHAN JR: I'm just trying to be open

to an open relationship.

Oh!

All the condoms are for different...

That makes more sense.

I don't know why I went
right to "cumsicles."

[UNDER HIS BREATH] Yeah.

But how open are you?
Because this is a gigantic box.

The regular amount of open!

Whatever Julian wants.

Is that what you want?

Yes!

I also want to be done with
this conversation, so...

Don't forget these.

Not that you could forget 'em. So many.

NATHAN JR: Bye!

Oh my God, that just went
about as bad as it could go.

That was just really,
really, really bad.

I mean, it wasn't great, but...

I'm picking him up after school today.

- NATHAN: Yeah...
- KATE: I'm gonna let him drive.

- Oh, God.
- Give him the wheel,

and then I'll talk to him.

I really...
I really don't think you should do that.

Just promise me you won't talk about

jerking off into condoms, okay?

- KATE: I won't.
- NATHAN: Kate...

KATE: I got this.

LIONEL: Ugh,
I can't find Tula anywhere in the house!

Of course you can't.

She's probably crawling
around in the walls by now.

Is this supposed to make me feel better?

- Because it's not.
- Okay, you know this fear

that you're feeling right now?
What if you thought of it

- as excitement?
- [LAUGHS]

You want me to be excited,

yeah, that a giant
hairy spider could just...

could just be anywhere?

ANNE: What if she's in the cabinet?!

LIONEL: Oh, God!

Wasn't that a rush?

I'm gonna sh*t my pants, Anne!

What if she's crawling around
in our coffee mugs right now?

God! I'm hating every moment of this!

Why are you doing this to me?

So you feel the pull.

What pull? What is going on with you?

I feel great. Better than ever.

Are you sure?
Because this seems like the opposite

of getting back to normal.

Do you think maybe we should, you know,

check in with the brain doctor?

Ugh!

Okay, thanks for your concern, Dad.

I'm going to work.

Don't wait up.

Hi, Lola! I missed you!

Princess Zoe!

Look how big you've gotten!

I guess two years will do that.

Hi, Mom. Nice to see you too.

Why don't we get you a mint?

So, have you heard any
feedback on the Seedless ad?

Uh, no, not yet.
But I have a call with Ram,

Pretty big risk,

New client!

This is news to me.
Do we not have a shared

No, absolutely not!

I didn't know what to do!

Watch this. No!

FORREST: Kate, baby. Please.

How do you two even know each other?

You introduced us.

Pretty sure in, like, this room.

You're like our mom!

Our hot mom.

Thank you, Juniper.

JUNIPER: We just need,
like, five of your minutes.

It would mean so much to us.

You have four left.

Prepare to get your minds blown.

What the f*ck is that?

- JUNIPER: "Just head!"
- FORREST: It's "just head!"

The ultimate in female satisfaction.

You mean...

- FORREST: It makes you cum!
- JUNIPER: Relentlessly.

Okay, I can't believe I
have a follow-up question,

but why is it a zombie?

JUNIPER: I stole it from work.

I work at a year-round haunted house.

That tracks.

And although there are many ghouls,

it gets very lonely.

So I got creative.

You sure did.

FORREST: That's where I come in.

There's a head, but the head is dead.

So how do you make the tongue move?

[RATTLING NOISE]

Motor tongue!

Motor tongue.

[RATTLING CONTINUES]

- KATE: Is it getting closer to us?
- ROSIE: Yeah.

Keep in mind this is an early prototype.

We're not venture capitalists,
you know that.

We need your help creating
buzz to attract investors.

Yes, because if the people talk,

the money talks.

That does make sense, actually.

No, mm-mm.

I'm sure that you have
a lot of questions.

Not one.

- Like, can you put your dong in...
- No questions.

Yes!

Yes.

- RICHARD: Hey!
- KATE: Oh, God.

RICHARD: I knew it.

I told you not to force Forrest.

I want you to go home,
I want you to take that obscene

sex rig with you. Go on.

Dad, we're not done.

I don't care.

You want me to sit in on
that Fronterra call later?

Uh, no. It, uh...

It's just, you know, Ram and I,
and we got it, so...

- RICHARD: Mm-hm?
- KATE: Yeah.

[SIGHS] Thank God.

Where were we?

KATE: Rosie, wrap this sh*t up.

It can't possibly make you
cum like they say, right?

I don't care if it makes you levitate!

Shut it down.
