 Harold: That's correct. Scotty: Okay, and how do we go about selecting an egg donor? Harold: You give us your parameters... eye color, hair color, ethnicity... Scotty: Oh... I don't care about that. Harold: Talents, education, I.Q. Kevin: I care about that. What? What's wrong with that? Scotty: Okay, clearly we have a lot to discuss. Do you... do you have any, um, literature, a brochure, something we can take home? Harold: Yeah. We have an orientation kit. Oh, wow. It'll explain all the legal and medical requirements. It takes you through the whole process. We also have a price breakdown, depending on whether you use one of our surrogates, uh, how many eggs we harvest, how many implantations it takes to achieve a pregnancy. Kevin: How much would it cost for a baby without leather seats and a dvd player? Scotty: Kevin. Kevin: I'm s... I'm sorry. I'm just a little nervous. Harold: A... assuming the best outcome, about $137,000. Scotty: Oh, wow. Oh.Well, we... we knew it was gonna be expensive. Kevin: Yeah, yeah, it's... it's about what we thought. It's just, I think, when you hear it out loud, it... sort of takes your breath away. ♪ Baby I Love You ♪ by Aretha Franklin ♪ Listen Kevin: ♪ baby, baby, baby, I love you Kevin: ain't no doubt about it Kevin: baby, I love you ♪ Kevin: Come on. Sing with me. Let your hair down. Scotty: Oh, I didn't know my hair was up. Kevin: Okay, I have just been to the bank, and guess what. Kevin: ♪ we are standing on our baby, baby ♪ Scotty: What? Kevin: ♪ I know, I'm gonna... ♪ Scotty: What are you talking about? Kevin: ♪ give it to you ♪ Scotty: Wait, wait. What are you talking about? Kevin: Okay, listen to me. We don't owe much on this loft okay? The guy at the bank said we can take a line of credit. We'll have more than enough for the surrogacy. We'll probably have enough leftover to buy a couple of those cute little Marc Jacobs suits... if it's a boy. What's wrong? I just solved the money problem. Scotty: You're talking about going into debt before the baby's even born. I mean, we haven't bought one diaper yet, let alone... I mean, child care, there's doctor's appointments, school... Kevin: Okay, I'm... I'm sorry. I'm a little confused, because I thought you... you wanted this baby, too. Scotty: I do. I just... I don't move as fast as you do. I need some time to sort things out. I mean, Kevin, we went to the agency for information. They gave us a hundred pages of things... Kevin: I was there. Scotty: I... I just need to process things before we go talking to a banker. Kevin: All right, fine. Last thing I wanted to do is put pressure on you. Scotty: Good. You know, because a baby isn't like a Marc Jacobs suit. You can't return it if it doesn't fit. Kevin: Who said anything about it not fitting? Are y... are you having second thoughts about this? Scotty: No. Maybe. Kevin... Kevin: Why don't I just stop talking for a while? Scotty: That's a good idea. Scotty: Wow. It's so white. Kevin: Yeah, it's like Christo's bar mitzvah. Come on. Let's get a drink before I have to introduce you to grandma. Scotty: Okay, promise me you won't say anything to your family about the whole surrogacy thing? Kevin: Absolutely. Look, I'm terrified once mom finds out, she'll want to choose the surrogate for us. Scotty: Yeah, I'm terrified once your mom finds out, she's gonna want to be the surrogate for us. Ida: Oh, I'm sorry I missed your wedding. I want you to know, I am 100% in favor of gay marriage. Kevin: You are? Ida: You know, those "defense of family" kooks? I mean, what is all that about? I mean, gays can't have families. Kevin: Grandma, gay people can have children. Ida: Well, apparently, you know something about plumbing I don't. Kevin: There's adoption. Ida: Oh, I didn't know they let you do that. Kevin: They do, and there's surrogacy. Scotty: Kevin... Ida: And what's that? Kevin: Well, uh, we find an egg donor and then we hire a surrogate to carry the baby to term. Ida: Oh. And which one of you gets to sleep with the egg lady? Kevin: What are they yelling about? The whole party can hear them. Nora: Can't understand... Holly: Okay, okay, okay, change of plans. Nora, you go inside, you tell them to kiss and make up and get their butts outside. Nora: Outside? Holly: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gifts outside, everybody. Come on, everybody. Gifts outside. Let's go. Come on, come on, come on. Nora: Why are we doing gifts outside? Kevin: Scotty, Saul, grandma. Nora: Oh, there they are. Holly: Rebecca and Justin... happy engagement from me and David. David: Whoo. Justin: What? Wow! David: Congratulations. Holly: Oh, yeah. I love you both. Justin: Oh, my God. Thank you so much. Holly: Mwah. Justin: Oh, my God, mom. Mom, check this... did you see? She got us a car. Nora: Wow. Wow. You... got them a car. Holly, that's so generous of you. Too generous. Holly: Well, they deserve it. Nora: Yes, they deserve it. I thought the party was your gift. I thought we decided not to get them anything else. David: Holly, don't. Don't. Holly: You broke the agreement. Nora: I got them a picture frame. Holly: Well, I find it interesting that you have completely forgotten that you broke the rules first. Nora: How did I break the rules? Holly: You got them a diamond ring! Nora: The ring was my grandmother's. I gave it to Justin. He gave it to Rebecca. Holly: You know, it's amazing how you always find the loophole that you can crawl through, Nora. Nora: You know, I'd like to talk to you. About the loophole. Rebecca: Stop. Justin: Mom, mom, mom, mom. I'm not gonna drive the car, all right? It'll be Rebecca's, okay? Nora: I'm fine. Ida: It's a lovely car, and clearly, holly has the money to pay for it. Nora: Yes, Holly has the money to pay for it. Holly, do you want to tell my mother how you happen to have the money to pay for it? Saul: She earned it, Nora. She's the president of Ojai Foods. Nora: Yes, she is the president of Ojai Foods. Tell my mother how you happened to become the president of Ojai Foods. How'd that happen, Holly? Holly: Okay. I am the tramp that William was fornicating with. I am the floozy. And I was so good at it, that he gave me an endowment. Rebecca: Okay, that... that's it. Justin, you were right. I'm going home. Thank you all very much for coming. Holly: Oh, Rebecca! Justin: Fine with me, Rebecca. Ida: Now wait a minute. Wait a minute. Nora: No, Justin.... she's... wait a minute. Kevin: Come on, grandma. Let's... Guest: Is the party over? Scotty: Yeah. Yeah, it's over. Ida: Well, it's a good thing you're calling this off. That girl could be your sister. Saul: No, mother, they are not brother and sister. Nora: Come on. Oh, mother, for God sakes. Do you think I would approve of this wedding if they were? Ida: Nora, I am still trying to digest the fact That you are hosting a party with your husband's mistress. Nora: Mother, shut up. Ida: Excuse me? Nora: You heard me, mother. I said shut up. Scotty: You know what? It is a pretty night. I was thinking about taking a walk around the pool. Do you want to come with me? Ida: Why, yes. That would be lovely. Nora... I don't appreciate being talked to like this. Kevin: All right. Let's all get back to Justin. Justin: Or not. Nora: Justin, listen to me. If your grades are as bad as you say they are, then you have to change something. You have to do whatever you need to do to stay focused. If you have too much gong on in your life right now, then you have to choose what's most important. Saul: Yes, that's right, Justin. Maybe you should postpone the wedding for a few months. Justin: Rebecca won't go for that, all right? She... she'd break up with me. Kevin: I think she already did that. Nora: No, she didn't. And, Justin, I know you love Rebecca. I love Rebecca. But she's not going anywhere. And right now, you're in med school. Who cares if Robert pulled strings to get you in? You're in. And this is a chance that won't come around again. Justin: I know that, mom. And every single person here has taken their opportunity to tell me not to blow it. So thanks for bringing that up. I appreciate it. Kevin: How's "Assembling a child" by Tolstoy? Scotty: Okay, listen to this egg donor contract. "Except as set forth in section 13.3 below, intended parents' payment to ovocyte donor"... I... I can't understand a word of this. Kevin: You don't have to. That's the advantage of being married to a lawyer. Scotty: Yeah, well, it's not just the fine print I'm worried about. Kevin: Sometimes in contract negotiations, it doesn't matter what you do, one party will always find something wrong. And those deals never get done. But it has nothing to do with the fine print. Usually, someone has cold feet. So you have to tell me if that's what you're feeling. Scotty: Okay. The more real this gets, the more scared... I become. That's how I'm feeling. Kevin: You'd... you'd be crazy not to be a little scared. Scotty: I am not a little scared, Kevin. I don't want to move forward with this until I'm sure. Kevin: I understand. Scotty: Do you? Kevin: Yeah. Well... I spent two years... being scared of committing to us, to you. So... it's my turn to wait. |
