just
forget about the rest?
I mean, I know how you feel.
There were countdowns
when I had my doubts.
I said to myself,
"You agreed to do it.
"You're strapped in,
"and you're in the hands...
"of something bigger and
more powerful than yourself.
"So, uh, why don't you just...
lay back and enjoy the ride?"
I'm not going.
There's something
wrong with you.
Oh, God.
I'm such a shit.
Wait! That must be it.
Right there? Oh, God!
Flap, it's great.
Is that it, really?
Oh, it's great.
Isn't that sweet?
Oh, that was a bump.
Oh, yeah.
What is that?
Shall we go see the house?
You stay there.
Come on.
Let's get this off.
Come on.
Whoa! Come on.
Oh, sweetheart,
did you hurt yourself?
Nope, not yet.
Do you like it?
Do you like it?
Oh, it's great.
Flap, it's great.
Oh, my God.
Oh.
Oh!
Leave the mattress here.
We can sleep here.
I'm really tired.
Ow! Ow!
You ever made love in Iowa?
Tommy's room is on
the other side of the hall,
so we can get noisy.
Good. You get to make
your little high-pitched squeak.
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Flap, what about you?
What about you?
Here I come.
Here I come again.
Yes! Yes!
Yes!
Here I come again.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh, God.
You just made me wet.
How can you do that
with your voice?
You just make
your voice like that.
If Tommy can't hear us,
we can't hear Tommy.
He's fine, Mother.
Don't get pissy.
I'll be right back.
Sing with me!
I have papers to grade.
This isn't love, it's selfishness.
It's been a week
since we've been together.
We've never gone a week.
Sure, we have.
Only in the real pregnant months.
You're always getting home late.
Do me a favor.
Don't make me feel silly,
I won't make you feel guilty.
Fair enough.
I have to hurry.
Be a good boy.
Emma?
I love that you came back.
You're saving our lives
by doing this.
Tommy, breakfast
will be ready in a minute.
Hurry. I've got
to grade those papers.
I'll give everybody a "B".
Come on.
No, wait.
Emma, come on.
Emma!
Wait. Wait.
Hello.
Hi, Mother.
Could we talk later?
I've got to get the boys off.
Don't be so inconsiderate.
I'm all set to have a good talk.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Stop right here.
Tell me what it is.
Okay, Mother.
I need some money.
I need you
to loan me some money.
I really need it, so will you?Oh, Mother, please don't be quiet.
You know that was hard for me.
You can say no,
but please don't be quiet.
Oh, I'm sorry, sweetheart.
I was just thinking.
Thinking what?
How much I hate
to part with money.
I wouldn't have asked if...
Don't yell,
but I think that
I may be pregnant again.
Oh! No!
And you're going
to have it, I suppose.
Yes, of course.
What's happening to you, anyway?
Don't act like that's so terrible.
Bright young women
are having simple abortions.
Simple?
Then they get wonderful jobs.
You can have it in Colorado.
Why do I tell you anything?
I like you less and less.
You know why, Emma?
It's because only I
tell you the truth.
Go get dressed.
How will your life get better...
if you keep having his children?
What miracle will come
to rescue you?
Leave me alone.
I need the money.
Give me the painting to sell.
No! That's your security.
I will not have you
using that for rent.
Let's not do this.
All right?
I'll talk to you later, all right?
All right.
If the money would mean...
No, don't. It would
make you crazy.
Yes, it would.
We'll talk later.
Call me tonight if you want.
Good-bye.
Daddy just got home.
Hey, no kidding?
Is it tough being a genius?
Boy.
Great news.
I know what my topic is.
I have it all figured out.
What's wrong?
Where have you been
all night, Flap?
I fell asleep on that big sofa...
at the library again.
I don't know
what's wrong with me.
I'm on to you.
I'm not doing anything.
Oh, yes, you are.
We go through this stage every...
Don't change the subject.
What's the subject?
That I'm on to you.
You wouldn't look so innocent...
unless you were guilty.
