Slide.
Alright.
Are you ready?
Alright, wait...
OK.
Keep breathing, huh?
- Are you breathing? - Hurry up!
Good. One...
two...
- three. What? - Damn!
- Gosh, Richard! - Okay, sorry.
- Very painful. - Sorry. OK.
- Gosh! - Almost complete.
Almost complete.
Done.
It feels nerve contact.
Sorry, honey. I did exactly what the nurse told me.
Shouldn't it be here?
No, it's the outer upper quadrant.
Why does it hurt like that?
It says it won't be that bad.
I don't know, Rach. The needle is bigger.
Maybe your pain threshold is lower than others. I have no idea.
I'm not a doctor, remember?
Are you angry?
No.
I'm not angry, I'm just...
Whatever. I do not know.
Tired.
36 HOURS THEN
THE MEETING OF INFORMATION
This is your approval form. Both signatures on the second page.
This is our policy about embryo storage,
This schedule is behind.
You need to initialize each paragraph, then sign here.
Very good. thanks.
- This is for you. - This...
- Instructions inside. - Good.
- You're here. - Hey! What is wrong?
Nothing, it's cold here.
Take it easy. Don't be bothered, huh?
I'm not bothered. I am cold.
OK. You have to sign this.
Gosh, what are we doing?
- Will we do this? Are we crazy? - No. We are normal.
This is not normal. This is the opposite of normal.
I'm not sure this is appropriate.
Remember Rita's words?
"Having a baby is immoral."
Marty is stupid.
"Overpopulation, climate change...
the rise of neo-fascism."
- Have you been drinking Valium? - Yes, why?
Ms. Biegler?
- Wait a minute. OK. - OK.
Good, we really do this.
- Don't be afraid, huh? - Yes.
You certainly can. We only need one egg.
OK. You too.
Don't be afraid, you can.
- Good, I love you. - I also.
Gosh, your cock feels really good in me!
Yes, as solid as I am a prostitute.
Yes, I want to feel the head of your cock deep inside me.
Give it to me.
Damn! Gosh!
Yes!
Damn! Yes! Gosh!
Yes! I like it when you squeeze my butt!
Do you like my ass?
Yes!
Tell me, how does it feel?
Want to fuck me like a little whore? Yes!
My child who is eight years old sees my job.
You know, "Invite your daughter to work."
So...
he says my job is the most boring in the world.
What I did all day...
is putting people to sleep.
Excuse me, ma'am?
Sister?
- Where is my husband? - Does your birth attendant not participate?
He is my husband.
- Sorry... - My husband is accompanying.
Mr. Grim?
Grimes. Yes, Richard Grimes.
Talk to the doctor. I'll search.
- Is there a problem? - Wait a minute.
Why don't you say?
Hello?
Damn!
No sperm.
Sorry?
Your husband doesn't have sperm.
Wait, you mean he can't...
do it?
No, he produces and there is semen, but there is no sperm.
Dr. Dordick will give details.
Think of it like a soda machine.
Have you ever worked in a cinema?
Seltzer comes from one place,
syrup comes from another place,
and together make Mountain Dew, or Diet Coke, or whatever it's called.
But if the pipe is clogged,
You can't get Mountain Dew. Can only be seltzer.
Richard might be hampered.
Like mental? Like psychosomatic?
Not mentally, but physically.
- Like a soda machine chat. - Yes sorry.
Yes. I just talked to my friend. He's a urologist, expert in this matter.
In fact, he wrote his book. Joel Fisher.
Gosh.
That's very sad.
No, Rich. Based on all our chat,
he is sure you have sperm. Only need to be issued.
- Good. - This is the procedure for this,
and Joel who are fit to do it.
It's called TESE.
Testicular Sperm Extraction.
- Gosh. - It's not as bad as it sounds.
You know the testes are only one, & apos; right?
What?
He must know.
Yes, I realize that.
My testis is only one.
- I see your archive record. - Good.
I filled Fisher's position. He doesn't think it's a problem.
He must avoid vases and go directly to the source,
perform testicular biopsy.
Like cancer?
No, Rach. I didn't get cancer. My sperm is blocked.
Sorry, he said biopsy.
The problem is, if we do TESE,
then we have to do ICSE.
This is Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection.
These are additional costs, but are mandatory.
The good news is that Fisher is there.
He is in town today.
The bad news, he needs a check for 10,000 dollars.
I know the notification is sudden.
No problem.
- No problem? - Yes.
Good, just relax. You talked about it first.
If I'm ready, I'll contact Fisher.
Meanwhile, Moira can give a uniform and we will be happy. Yes!
OK.
- We don't have 10,000 dollars. - Yes. I'll call Charlie.
I think we will keep this a secret.
I know, but what can we do, Rach?
- Gosh. - Your eleven eggs are here
and we cannot inseminate it.
If I don't call, we mess up.
The cycle will be messed up
and our big expenses will be in vain.
That's great, it's okay, not...
If you will come in... Yes, good. Good.
See you later.
- He brings the money. - Really?
- Yes! - Did Cynthia say something?
What? Of course not.
- He judges. - No.
Yes. He is even weird when we do IUI.
CONCEPTION CLINIC FERTILITY
- Do they do it again? - No, this is very different.
New doctor, very sophisticated. This...
taking eggs, hatch something called "icksy".
Do you see my pants?
I think they have stopped and want to adopt.
Still done. After the child's problem,
they try any method, do it all at once.
Gosh. They are like impulsive gamblers.
This is very technical and difficult to track,
but Richard's sperm has a problem and he needs to borrow 10,000 dollars.
- Don't give him money. What? - Yes.
- Charlie! - Will be paid.
That will make it easier for them.
- Do what? - To pursue this fertility fantasy,
even though it clearly destroyed them. They are drug addicted.
Their marriage is chaotic, they always fight.
They are like fertility addicts!
That's crazy.
They have been doing this for a long time. They must stop and continue living.
Mother! Sadie called. He doesn't sound good.
- Gosh! Hi, dear. - I have to go.
Yes... I want you to think about your actions.
Mom, what's wrong?
None. Charlie will go to town...
I want to shop at Russ & Daughters. Want salmon?
Charlotte, do you want salmon?
What?
Are you... Father is going to Manhattan. Do you want Russ & Daughters?
Bialy and bagel bread.
Bialy and bagel,
and buy a pound... No, buy a quarter of a pound of wild Nova!
Hi, honey. Sorry. All right?
Not really.
What's wrong?
You're smoking?
No, I told you I stopped.
I'm just having a cold and that...
I stand outside and get cold.
You sound weird.
I'm not healthy.
Did you fail?
No. Gosh, ma'am. No...
Emotionally, not academically. Mother is achievement oriented.
Graduating from college at the age of 25 years not achievement. The point is fixing.
Sorry. It shouldn't be.
- That's my thoughts. - Not at all.
I want you to find something you like,
which will give meaning and purpose in your life.
I've found it.
Remember?
Write?
Right. Yes.
You're very smart,
but if you want to be a writer, like a professional,
You must be passionate and disciplined.
If it's problematic, you will be difficult when you have to pay rent at once.
I didn't fail, ma'am. My achievements are good at the beginning of this semester
I am very proud of. I just...
I'm stuck now and...
I'm not ready to give a portfolio at the workshop writing,
about 80 percent of my grades, but there are great professors who are convinced of me,
and the good news, he will give the value "Incomplete" which is very good, because...
Sadie?
I am waiting for you to say in the real world there is no term "incomplete".
Honey, go home and we discuss it directly.
- I can't go home, Mom. - Why not?
Because I want to be here.
Gosh, Sadie. How do you do it?
I will work, be a servant. Mother will not lose, I promise.
Uncle Richard and Aunt Rachel say I can stay...
They have a lot of problems.
They can't take care of anyone except themselves.
Say good night to everyone.
- Say good night! - Good night!
Monday and Thursday, the north side of the road is cleared.
Tuesday and Friday, the south side of the road is cleared.
Weekends, they don't do anything. I don't know what the other side of the parking problem is.
People say, "What do you want with that car?"
This is just a party for people drinking on weekends.
- Really? - Yes.
Can't accompany the dog at night.
Gosh.
I don't want to be at the age of 50 years are at a block association meeting
- prevents opening of new bars. - Richard...
We are not 50 at East 6th Street.
I'm 47 years old.
When is your book published?
- April. - That is fun!
I didn't write nonsense since Talia was born.
You have to try this, I'm obsessed.
- I drink during summer. - No, thank you.
Really? That's Prosecco. You don't like it?
I like it. It's just...
I can't.
I'm cycling.
Gosh, SoulCycle?
My sister does that and her butt is like two small coconuts. You like?
Not cycling like that. This...
IVF.
Gosh.
- Sorry. I'm stupid! - No!
Why... It's okay.
No! I'm stupid.
I don't know you did it again. I think you want to adopt.
We want to adopt. While waiting, we also want to try this.
Sorry, that's a good joke. "Tried" IVF.
This is the first time for me. We often do IUI, but never...
doing that big thing.
I'm sure it will increase your chances & apos, right?
Yes, I don't know...
Our number is not too much.
Talk to my cousin, Erin.
He does IVF for the sake of the child, the doctor says there is no need to bother.
One percent chance.
She is pregnant twice.
At 40 years old. Only with one ovary.
He must be happy to discuss it. And her children...
extraordinary. See them.
Very funny!
Right, & apos; right?
TRANSFER
That double embryo A.
See the solid cells?
He is getting ready.
I transfer both, but I bet for him.
Are you ready?
Alright...
this is it! Time to act!
Your job is just to relax and breathe, huh?
This might be a bit cold.
Take it easy.
That's right.
Do you like prog rock music?
No.
OK. Let's get pregnant, huh?
This. Call that one.
- Gosh! Wait! Richard! Take! - Damn!
Richard!
Gosh...
Excuse me.
- Hi! Can you open... - It's okay, honey.
No. I did an implant.
Sir, can you open this? Can you open it?
Hi!
Hi, I just underwent a medical procedure...
Gynecology.
If you can be slow and calm on a mound, I appreciate it.
HOME TASK
- How? - Good!
OK.
Until now...
- no IVF material is visible. - Good.
Hey, do you think we should lower Lisa Yuskavage?
What? Do not!
I see from Beth's point of view.
We are used to it, but...
if we sit on the couch and Beth sits in front of us,
- it's right on his face. - What?
Her vagina.
We have to move it so it's not too...
in the middle.
No.
If our social workers are restless and do not give children because they exist
pussy on our wall, it will...
mess things up!
No!
Idiot! It's stupid with all this!
- Good. - I'm sick of us being judged,
always tell what to do.
Doctors, social workers, and support groups,
You should just keep quiet!
Shut your mouth!
Before Kyra takes maternity leave,
he guides me, so, I'm always told.
- OK. - But...
no one can replace face to face.
- Yes. - This. Hopefully it's not too hot.
Thank you.
- Do you want to? - No need.
Yes, he's our best friend.
Not the woman in the picture, but the artist. He is a friend.
- That's a wedding gift. - Yes, so...
So, it seems you want to adopt after fertility treatment.
Yes.
Not for us. It doesn't feel right.
Richard also only has one testis...
I see you paired with the biological mother last winter.
Can you tell me a little about that?
Yes.
Alright...
We have been waiting for several months
and we are not contacted, which is very sad.
Yes.
- Kyra stories about Portrait of Parents... - Yes.
so, we decided to try it.
A week after our page goes up, we are called.
Damn!
Hello?
Yes, hi. That is us.
No, we're glad you called. The time is right.
Right. New York City. NYC.
There are pros and cons, but we like it.
Where are you from?
Really?
Bill Clinton's birthplace.
LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS
13 WEEK
We have never been there, but it always wants us to visit.
No, we just watched TV.
Right, a city that never sleeps.
- We often talk for a month. - "He's weird, thin," and he...
Yes, he likes to take me to eat ice cream,
whatever class 6 activities and I say, "No"...
I think it's the first year of high school.
He is dating again. He is tireless.
We fell in love with him.
What is the story behind it?
He is still very young, we are like his parents.
No?
- Appointment with the doctor goes well! - All right.
What I did before there was...
- So cute! - Good!
They say the heartbeat is good.
The blood is smooth...
they do a sonogram and it increases at speed...
right, so...
- So, do you arrange a meeting? - Yes.
- OK. - Yes.
Two days before Christmas.
It's amazing we got a ticket.
WELCOME TO LITTLE ROCK
Yes. There he is.
- OK. This is grilled ribs and iced tea. - It looks good, thank you.
Are you sure there are no more orders?
- No. thanks. - Good. Enjoy.
Rach, calm down. He is only late.
Come on. Eat mashed potatoes.
After that, it feels like...
Sirna.
He never...
appears and we don't hear it again.
We have been warned.
But he doesn't ask for money or anything.
When you get home,
we realize there is no name or date on one of the sonograms.
Kyra says sometimes girls just want attention.
And there are no babies at all.
We still don't know what he is...
real or not.
It's easier if it involves money.
At least that makes sense.
But emotional fraud is very...
difficult.
Most people who have gone through your experience will give up.
Or they will return do fertility treatments.
This is proof of your strength as a partner
which you obey
and renew your commitment to adoption.
Thank you.
FOLATE ACID, PROFERTIL WOMEN, ASPIRIN YELLOW
Hey, Eno! Lazlo!
Rich?
There is a message from Rachel.
What does it say?
This is rather personal.
A PA DO I LOOK MORE BIG FOR YOU?
Thank you.
TEST
BABY
We support you.
Rach?
Yes, hello?
Yes. Sure, wait a minute.
Rach?
Hey. This is Dordick.
You can try again.
This is the first IVF, Rachel's response is good.
It only takes one good egg.
On the other hand...
You have done it for a long time,
and if money is a factor...
that, combined Rachel's age, makes me think...
Of course, you can try again but the best chance of success is with donor eggs.
Yes. This is a big step.
It takes time to get used to.
I don't want to reduce the loss of genetic relationships to Rachel.
But there are many positive things to consider.
Rachel will contain, she controls the pranatal environment,
give birth.
Breastfeeding.
And of course, there will be Richard's genetic contribution.
This is difficult to understand.
Give time.
Meanwhile, look at our program,
give an opinion, and we can talk next week.
KADANG NEEDS THREE TO Foster FAMILIES
He is crazy.
I don't want to do it.
At least we think about it.
I didn't say we would.
We can share ideas, understand our feelings.
Make a list of all the pros and cons.
We have discussed this. Swear I won't do it.
No, you swear. I...
I am silent because I don't want to force you to do something that you have to live for the rest of your life.
Wait, all this time I assume our feelings about this,
even though you have a secret fantasy about egg donations?
- It's not a secret fantasy. - So for me.
I don't know. We have decided together as a partner which will give a limit to science fiction!
This is not science fiction, Rach.
It's quite primitive. They always do it with cattle.
I'm not a goat!
- Understand? - A bad example. Sorry.
Gosh!
You're very enthusiastic now, that scares me.
I'm not enthusiastic, I'm just pragmatic.
If you do IVF again with your eggs, is the chance of our pregnancy being four percent?
With donor eggs, we will start from four to 65 percent!
I just want to bet with a better bet.
Gosh!
You're Guy Woodhouse.
What?
Husband on Rosemary & apos; s Baby, John Cassavetes, that's you.
Yes, Rach. That's me,
standing when you are raped by a demon.
I just suggest we hear the doctor and check all the options.
We have already registered for adoption. What is the problem?
First, I don't want other parts of the body to enter my womb.
- Excuse me. - Excuse me. Sorry.
I know this is more complicated for you.
- Isn't it more complicated for you too? - Yes, of course.
But you hear the words.
Many positive possibilities.
You will be able to get pregnant.
What will I be considered, hotel manager?
No.
Just sleep younger women.
What do you mean?
Look! There is one passing! Sleep him!
I don't want to fuck her!
Gosh, we try our best,
other than kidnapping to foster a family. Somehow
This is prohibited.
You're easy to talk. You have...
genetic contribution, and I just...
I will...
What?
Abandoned.
Don't...
Don't.
Who is that?
Children from the third floor.
What do they want?
Candy.
This is Halloween.
Damn.
Don't open.
There are people inside. I hear.
They don't answer.
- It's a holiday. - Not a holiday like that.
Not everyone celebrates Halloween.
They celebrated it last year.
Give candy or be bullied!
Gosh, it's like eBay for eggs.
Gosh. There are those who can receive athletic scholarships for golf.
Have you heard that? Campus Golf?
I thought you were working on your edits.
What do you think?
- What? - He contains your baby.
Not that she contains my baby. You.
OK. What do you think?
I think he's pretty good.
- That's it? - I don't want to exaggerate.
This is only the ovary.
That's one cell.
One cell containing half of the chromosomes of our prospective child.
- I don't think so. - You don't want to confess. This is crazy.
Don't discuss denial.
That is very useful, you have to try sometime.
Without that, it could be him.
Listen to this.
Department of philosophy and political science
at the East Coast University Ivy League. Enter at age 16.
Too intimidating.
Yes. Your sperm might be a little embarrassed with the egg.
Favorite books, The Fountainhead?
There is an asterisk. Means he has been ordered.
He might have a waiting list. This is an Ivy League student.
Click him.
She's sweet.
He has a BA in journalism and film.
No wonder he sold eggs. He can't get a job.
I like the nose.
I like your nose.
This is actually rather strange, & apos; right?
I think it's a bit...
strange.
Gosh.
Richard.
Wait. What is that...
Fiona from Mogador?
This is weird.
Think of it as an exercise. There are no right or wrong answers.
- OK. - Got it?
Yes. OK.
OK.
She's beautiful. That is clear.
He's always good and that's good, whenever we come.
No matter how busy it is.
The laugh is interesting.
A charming body.
In the summer, when he uses...
thin cotton dresses, with hair tied up...
Gosh.
What?
You said there were no wrong answers.
This is confusing. I've never done this before.
Me too, but stop thinking about making love to him.
Understand?
Think of him as your daughter, not...
your boyfriend.
You want this.
Do you think I enjoyed it?
Find another woman's eggs to mix my husband's sperm
to be inserted into my vagina so it can make a baby?
Gosh!
At least Fiona is really real, is not a random thumbnail photo.
- We just ask him... - Are you crazy?
- Gosh! - Gosh. Rachel, are you crazy?
We can't directly ask him.
- He displays his photo on the site. - Not that...
Hey, friends.
Do you want to order what?
Gosh!
It's like The Handmaid & apos; s Tale.
It will be different if I have
sister or cousin.
Even like family friends.
Who has a real relationship with me, so, I'm not just...
any prey on the bodies of young women.
What?
What you're experiencing is sad.
Yes, thank you.
Thank you?
Because I make sure my life is bad now.
- Good. - That means a lot to me.
You're welcome.
I know you are my uncle and aunt,
but I feel closer than other relatives.
You understand.
Everyone always tells me to organize life as if I dropped out of school.
You just got out of the Bard, & right?
No, I was given permission by the dean office complete my degree when absent.
- Like that. - Yes. That's Latin, & apos; right?
- For "Drop out of school." - Shut up!
- Be careful, Uncle drives. - Gosh! Even you, Uncle Cool.
You gave the nickname, not Uncle.
The fact that anyone who calls Uncle cool
is proof of how cool it is our family.
- That's right. - Yes.
LAJUR RIGHT
I think everything has been updated now.
I guess they forgot about our corner.
It's like the Serpico movie.
We arrive.
Hey!
Gosh! Hi, Puppy!
Hi, Sade!
Hi!
Gosh!
Are you okay?
So, how do you plan finish college?
Online.
Really?
Why online?
So that I don't need to talk to with heretical students
who thinks the world cares about their stupid fiction,
which is not even fiction,
just autobiographical bullshit veiled about their upbringing.
Thank you.
I don't need to hear the furor
they publish literary magazines that have never been heard,
like Tin House or whatever.
Wait, Tin House?
Tin House is a very well-known literary magazine.
- They publish your work, & apos; right? - Yes, once.
So, everyone on your campus will be posted in Tin House?
Not all of them. I mean in general,
all very selfish and sure of their artistic promises,
I say, "My uncle is the best theater expert,
my aunt is a real life drama writer and who...
is invited to Yaddo and the story is published in periodical issues
that normal people have heard of, like The New Yorker . They are more than 40 years old and still live in apartments on Avenue A
with drunks and murals,
so, don't discuss "Your sacrifice" to become an artist, huh? "
Very good.
Have you ever missed him?
You guys are great.
Say that to the NEA.
Uncle wants to say,
Uncle goes to your old place on Walker Street. What do you know?
- No. - Citibank.
Gosh.
Try doing Grotowski in front of the ATM.
"This is the year where a small downtown theater
reminds us of a single power amazing theater.
In Tray, there are stories among cafeteria workers in high school side city,
La Rata and its director, Richard Grimes, make political comedy
deftly examine _ racial and socio-economic disparities
that afflict our nation. "
Who is the author?
Jonathan Saks, The Village Voice.
That's how sad we are.
We from the moment Village Voice are considered relevant.
Honey.
Do you still wake up?
- Richard. - Yes. What?
Do we have to do it?
Do what?
Asking Sadie.
He is very young.
That's the point, & apos; right?
OK.
Hey.
Very fitting for Instagram, thank you!
Do you need...
Delicious.
Thank you.
Gosh, look at us. Like an advertisement for a bastard.
Do you mean we are or adverts that target bastards?
No, it's just...
people with cappuccino in their attic,
with a laptop, dog, and messy hair.
All fantasies.
That's not your fault. You are real and real, only
co-opted cultural mechanisms that create desires.
I join media and community courses consumers. It changes life.
Sadie...
There is something we want to...
Look... Just...
You know Uncle only has one testicle, & right?
Yes, I know.
- Really? - Charlie has discussed.
- Really? - Not to me, but to mom.
I heard some Thanksgiving ago.
I don't remember.
That's when you pass through the fertility treatment.
We are still going through all that.
- My mother said you tried adoption. - Yes.
But recently, we decided might be better tried all at once.
Because we are not getting younger.
- That's for sure. - Yes. We have failed IVF.
Wait, what?
- Gosh, I'm sorry. - Thank you.
That must be annoying.
It's not over yet. You will keep trying, & apos; right?
So...
Now doctors recommend different steps.
My mother says you have a lot of problems, but I don't know.
My arrival time is not right, huh?
- No. - I have friends at Bushwick.
We are glad you are here!
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Me too.
I love you.
OK.
- I'll bake bread again. - Great idea.
May I start a crossword puzzle?
Actually, we want to ask about your eggs.
Tasty scrambled eggs, but whatever doesn't matter to me.
Hey!
Do you mean hay...
- with the letter "A"? - No, "Hey" like "Hello".
Sam, this is my niece, Sadie. Sadie, Sam.
Sadie will help here temporarily. You might be able to teach.
Yes, okay.
OK. Come on.
Greetings.
I want to be as prepared as possible on the night before the farmers market because...
we start at 05.00
and at that time I...
very chaotic and difficult to make any business decision.
Gosh, my underwear looks, & isn't it?
Sorry.
It's okay.
TACOS CHOLULA ORIGINAL MEXICAN CUISINE
- I want gourmet... - How often do you buy this?
- You don't know! - You're not here.
Without sour cream.
I want extra guac .
- Stop it. - You bought pico de gallo?
This is not the first rodeo.
My Burrito without cheese, & apos; right?
- Yes. - OK. It smells good.
We buy everything.
Gosh. What does it mean?
This is like an open invitation to bastards.
Yes.
Gosh, my esophagus is burning. I like this.
Sadie.
Uncle and Rachel are looking for egg donors.
You know what that is, & apos; right?
Yes.
There are advertisements at school. I know people who do it, major in film.
He is paid 10,000 dollars. That's how he financed his senior thesis.
That's the entire budget of the short film.
He named the company "Ovum Productions."
It was so funny.
Now it's not.
That's funny.
- You know... - No. It is funny.
Actually, we want to ask about your eggs.
In your ovaries.
OK.
Why is that?
So...
we want to know if you want...
donate eggs.
For us.
- Like your friend. - Yes, except not.
- No. Yes. - Because...
Because...
You know us, so, it will be different.
Yes.
What exactly do you mean?
Technically, you will pass
which Aunt lives with IVF, without transfer.
What transfer?
That's when a fertilized egg is returned to your uterus.
- In this case, Aunt's womb. - Yes.
Not your womb, because it enters Rachel's womb. So...
Your womb will not be involved in this case.
The process is finished after retrieval, so...
You...
must be checked first at the clinic.
A number of blood tests, psychiatric evaluations.
No, it's not like that.
They want to make sure you are able to handle everything psychologically.
So, I don't need like Mary Beth Whitehead?
Who?
No, forget it. That's...
- Who was that? - Yes.
We read it in the medical ethics class.
Substitute in the case of Baby M.
In the 80s.
Yes. He refused to give the baby, & right?
Yes.
Sorry.
- Spooky references. Not exactly. - No.
It's okay. OK.
So...
what else?
- Medications? - Correct. Stimulating hormone.
Why did I forget?
You were injected to increase the number of your eggs for the cycle.
Yes. Many...
injections. Let Aunt show. Do you see?
- Gosh. - Yes.
This is worse than it really is.
But drugs can make you feel...
quite chaotic.
My psychiatrist has a funny name for that. What's the name?
- "Bedwetting emotionally." - Gosh, disgusting!
But because it's not you who wants to contain,
it will be easier, emotionally.
- Isn't that right? Yes. - Of course.
Of course we will pay you.
- No, I don't want your money. - No. We force.
We pay like payment at the university clinic.
Ten thousand dollars, like your friend.
The money is not much. But that's a standard fare, and that's...
our ability.
You don't need to answer now.
This...
This is just an overview.
Many must be understood, so...
just relax and think.
OK.
- Good. - OK.
OK.
- Who needs more beer? - Me.
No. I mean, I'm willing.
The egg. I do.
Think about it. This is a big decision.
- No need to answer now. - I don't mind.
I have no other activities. I don't even have a job.
And...
what is more valuable than help two loved ones build a family?
You are always my role model.
You are very supportive and...
non-judgmental.
You will be good parents.
Better than my parents.
Don't say that. Your parents are great.
We must tell them about this too.
Must be open. Very transparent.
I don't have a problem with that.
Yes?
- No problem? - Mother is always raving about
looking for goals and doing something real in my life.
That is no more real than this, & apos; right?
Be careful!
Understand? Do you hear Uncle?
Crazy, did you record Uncle like that?
You will only see Uncle's bald part!
They have arrived!
Hey, everyone!
Come on!
How are you? You guys fast.
Do you bring your laundry?
Yes.
- Good. - Hey!
Hi.
These are only a few and automatic cleaners don't have...
- Hi, Sadie! - Hi!
- How are you? - Gosh!
Hi! It's nice to see you!
Charlotte! Are you okay?
Do you bring pie?
I will pay the rest before the end of the year!
Come here!
It's okay. I am so ashamed. Like...
It's okay, I don't realize you're sensitive. Can I go back to work?
- Please. Sorry. - Mother? How many?
How much is it?
- Hi, Nellie! Jennifer. - Hi!
You will play later, & apos; right?
Thank you.
- Very comfortable. - You want?
I want to.
So, I won't use...
You are all college graduates...
That's creepy.
Look at the skirts of girls when we walk around,
we don't need to react.
I enter all AP classes.
It's your own thing.
No, but I have to do it.
I want to enter.
You will enter.
But if I don't do... I can't change it.
Charlie.
- I can't. - Because we were not taught as a child.
Charlie and I decide I want to hold Thanksgiving for change,
so, before we eat,
we invite everyone to gather
and discuss the things that you are grateful for this year.
- Come on. - It's Thanksgiving "Thanksgiving."
Thank you, Charlie, supportive husband.
I will start.
I want to thank to Richard and Rachel.
Yes.
Because giving our daughter, Sadie,
all the love and support that he needs to start life in Manhattan,
and give him the best place.
I want to say personally that I know
You have gone through a hard time
and the fact you take care of other people's children
when struggling to have their own children
is more extraordinary evidence of your generosity .
And I hope someday
we can reply to your kindness, be, toast.
Cheers!
- OK. - Can I next?
Please, Sadie, come on.
OK.
That's beautiful.
That's the perfect prologue for what I want to say.
I also thank them
- for their kindness. - We are very popular.
From letting me apprentice in their theater company...
More precisely freelancers.
Until I hire at Pickle Guy's office and...
recently, I may stay in their place until I am independent.
Especially to you, Rachel.
Because of the poor handwriting reading and my short fiction.
And consider me serious as an artist when I find it difficult to do it myself.
And finally,
this is a perfect opportunity to share interesting news.
This is sudden.
I haven't asked them, but I didn't waste a moment.
- It's okay. - No...
What makes me most grateful is the opportunity
to help them realize their dreams.
- Sadie, not... - By giving me a little,
I can give the biggest gift that they can ask for.
Gift of life.
An oocyte.
I don't understand, is that an oocyte?
Isn't that
like eggs?
I decided to become an egg donor Richard and Rachel.
If everything goes well, right now next year,
we will be grateful for the newest members of our family.
Baby Richard and Rachel.
Cheers.
- Yes. - That's...
Yes!
Yes, that's good news. Toast!
We haven't even...
- I'll... We haven't match... - It's my turn, & apos; right?
- Can you talk for a while? - What?
At this great Thanksgiving,
passing it with family and friends,
I'm very grateful for
31 days without getting drunk today.
Clean and not drunk 31 days.
Step through Mother's body first. Understand?
Not related to your body. My body...
It's not blood or checking organ donation boxes on your SIM.
You will live a lifetime. Families will be affected.
I've considered.
- Really? - Yes. I want to help. This means to me.
Fun.
You're the center of attention, what after the baby is born?
I will be Sadie's Aunt or Cousin, whatever they want. Listen, ma'am...
What if you have kidney disease and I'm a friend who has two kidneys?
People only need one, & apos; right? Of course I will give.
Kidney disease kills. Rachel wants a baby, she's not dying.
- How do you know? - Sorry, we intend to tell you.
Good. What are your plans paying for it, Kickstarter?
Gosh, Mother.
- Honey, we're just up and... - Who are you defending?
None.
- We will not do without your support. - I don't support.
Everything, why don't you...
Idiot!
... take food, go home, then discuss it next time, huh?
- Where do you want to go? - Take my laundry!
Gosh. Mother is very anti-Aunt Rachel.
- I'm not anti-anyone. - Never mind.
Mother feels threatened. Because he will have books and babies
and isn't Mother Charlotte gone?
Do you think that is your concern?
Mother is worried about you, Sadie.
You can waste your fertility later.
You should freeze eggs, not sell them.
Does not make sense. Many girls do it and it's fine. I don't want to have children.
You don't know now.
I know. I don't want children, just a career.
You can get both.
What?
Know how many times Mother told me
if women have to sacrifice when they have children?
That you have to drop out of school when you have me?
I menstruate every month and flush the eggs in the toilet.
Why not give some of them?
What is more meaningful than me
Give a gift of life to people I love who wants to build a family?
Gosh.
They wash your brain.
Why do you feel cheated by life, Mom?
If I can get through today...
just today...
I will reach one third of the Bermuda Triangle.
I'm not happy!
Maybe we should find an anonymous donor.
- Damn. - This is not a good idea!
baby!
I know you want to have children, but we discuss my child.
- I'm not a child! - Good.
If she's your daughter, do you want her to do this?
- Good night. Come on. - Cynthia, we haven't...
- Thank you! - Sadie!
- This is crazy. - We will call you...
Third-party reproduction is usually an agreement
between unknown or unrelated individuals.
But some couples prefer involving family members,
or trusted friend, it doesn't matter.
As long as all those involved are adults who agree
should not be a problem.
Not that kind of collaboration
does not cause intense feelings for anyone
including large families. Of course.
This is a new topic for most people.
But we are too hasty.
We don't even know what Sadie is the right candidate for egg donations.
My advice is to start the process,
then use the time to understand
the meaning of this agreement for you and family.
Then after the report returns...
and Sadie complete psychological evaluation...
1. I was treated badly.
... you can sit and make informed decisions.
WRONG
2. I rarely experience constipation.
TRUE
3. Evil spirits sometimes possess me.
4. I want to be a singer.
5. Nobody understands me.
6. Sometimes I want to destroy something.
I called him Uncle Richard, but he is the brother of my stepfather, Charlie.
So, we are not bloodied.
Which might be better for this.
Right.
Because if it's not, it's incest.
As long as you know, I don't mind the donor.
Not that I don't think it's weird. That's weird, but...
I'm a periodontist.
I graft the corpse to the mouth of the person alive every day.
I can handle strange things.
But Cynthia?
He is different, more sensitive, especially recently.
He is having a hard time...
hormonally.
dear...
they check Sadie.
Who checked it?
Clinic egg donation.
- You might want to talk to him. - He doesn't need my permission.
Right, he doesn't need it.
What if they are homosexuals?
- Please. - I'm serious. What's your comment?
If they are a gay male partner and want to build a family
and Sadie want to help.
I will say, "Congratulations.
Find girls from the internet and don't involve us."
Sadie doesn't understand his actions. He is just...
throwing away genetic material like popcorn.
Auctioning family properties seems like it's not important.
They are family.
- What? - Richard and Rachel are family.
- What are you doing? Gosh... - There is something on your chin.
- Can you not bother? - Bloody.
Nothing. That's acne. Gosh, Charlie, please.
Don't touch. I'm concentrating.
I entered Berkeley!
- What? - My decision letter came. I'm in!
- Gosh, try to see! - I'm going to Berkeley!
You succeeded! Father is very proud of you.
- We are proud of him, & apos; right? - Yes, that's great, Mother is happy.
Why is your face?
Nothing. Only...
This is just...
pimples.
Stupid. Only...
- We meet below, huh? - OK.
It's okay.
"Ms. Sadie Barrett registered as a donor in the Conception Oocyte Donor Program. The purpose of this evaluation is to understand her psychological and emotional well-being. > significant evidence of psychopathology. "
- Fun! - Cool!
Wait, this is a good part.
"Ms. Barrett is a young woman who is smart, sophisticated, and charismatic
who is comfortable with her decision to contribute.
She is mature and intelligent In conclusion, Ms. Barrett is approved as a prospective oocyte donor. "
Yes!
- I'm a little worried. - Uncle is very worried about you.
Psychiatry!
Did you graduate?
Why are you so surprised?
No, Mother just...
Mother thought maybe...
I'm sorry mom.
You know you love you, bro?
Even though you don't agree at all...
Mother respects you,
and if you have to do this project, then do it.
You don't mind?
Mother objected. Mother objected to anything.
But you see this means to you
and Mother doesn't want to prevent you. Mother wants to support. Whatever will be.
Really?
Not that you are happy.
Christmas!
What is the function of this tool?
This turns off the reproductive system to align our cycle.
Gosh.
There is a risk of triggering menopause?
Technically, it's menopause. It's chemical induction, only temporary.
I will start with Rachel.
- OK. - Yes.
- Here it is. - OK.
OK.
Ready?
One, two, three.
See?
- Subcutaneous. No problem. - All right, your turn.
It's very glamorous. We are like Drugstore Cowboy.
Done.
He wants me to start stimulating.
Warning: this can make you very confused and confused.
"Bedwetting emotionally." I remember. Can be strengthened.
One, two, three.
- Damn! - One, two...
I like it!
Aunt sure you don't want to? The condition is perfect.
No, that's better for you. Aunt can't use anymore.
No.
Aunt won't start changing styles, & apos; right?
Gosh, my mother can't be stopped when getting rid of
everything in the closet, is even strict,
and now there are only models of cowl necks, tunics, drawstring clothes, and scarves,
all clothes from Eileen Fisher.
As if he no longer has a body,
immersed in all this fabric and erases all of her sexuality.
As if he was spayed.
Can I use Aunt's lotion? My skin is very dry. I'm molting.
Yes, it's there.
Gosh.
My breasts become big because of the medicine. I'm like a porn star.
Aunt will be a great mother.
Really?
Right. If Aunt was my mother.
What? That's crazy.
No. Sometimes I think of Auntie like that.
Aunt is my mother and Richard is my father,
and I am your art princess.
Now it will be very intense, because of a small part of me,
mixed with Uncle's part, will grow in Auntie.
According to Aunt Sam interesting?
- What? - Sam, who works at Pickle Guy?
I don't know. Aunt never thought about it.
I think he's interesting like the chaotic character played by Sam Shepard.
Fucked, but sexy.
Will our baby grow into a writer?
Your baby and Sam?
No, our baby.
Damn, this is Bibi's editor.
- Hi, Liz. - Have you seen?
No. What are you looking at?
- Sorry. - Cover of the book.
OK.
Wait...
MAKE ME THINK YOU
MAKE COVER BOOKS
OK.
Are you there?
It is very wrong to interpret the book.
I don't understand the side of the business, I don't understand it.
But if the man who wrote it, won't be packed like a cupcake.
I'm sick of this.
Like this fertility problem. I feel betrayed.
By what?
The nonsense I heard during college.
Feminist ideology.
Lies I can have careers and children. Obviously it didn't materialize.
I have to send IUI and IVF bills to them.
Don't blame the second feminism for our ambivalence about having children.
I'm not ambivalent.
It's not.
Because you realize everything changes. But...
before, you keep changing deadlines. Remember?
"We will start after my drama finishes,
after I publish this story, once I finish the book."
You blame me?
I don't blame you.
I just said we need to be responsible for this situation.
Many women give birth at the age of 41 years. I think I can too.
OK.
I don't think it's Gloria Steinem's fault if we can't get pregnant.
So, whose fault?
I think it's my fault because I'm busy writing my stupid book.
I didn't say that.
What doctors always discuss is my advanced age, my old egg.
We do IVF and surprise,
Your sperm is a long time off.
- What do you mean? - No.
Forget it.
I mean, don't blame Dr. Dordick
or Bella Abzug, or anyone for our problem.
Do you mean my problem?
Why am I like in the Wendy Wasserstein drama?
I don't know, but this is our day and my cock must...
inserted a dildo camera Dr. Dordick,
so, can you stop discussing this and restraint?
or press it, or whatever is more correct now
so that this exercise remains smooth?
"pressing".
When consciously forgetting something, it is oppression.
Repression is unconscious.
Hey.
Sadie? You...
Surprise!
HAPPY DAYS
Happy birthday.
- It smells good. - Yes!
Gosh!
"Donny, calm down and drink a tonic!"
Gosh!
Ever read Innocence by Harold Brodkey?
Looks like not.
Aunt too.
That's quite life changing.
- Is it a Harvard cunnilingus book? - Yes.
About men who like dating, huh?
Yes. I read it in contemporary short fiction classes.
Then for the task, I write
a kind of rude response to it, I call "Experience."
There is no compulsion.
"Rude response" to the cunnilingus story. Someone must say it! Come on!
This is still under construction, but...
I want to know, if you are interested,
I want your opinion.
- Yes. Aunt can't wait. - Certainly. Certain.
Gosh. That will be fun.
But that must be kept secret because my mother wants to see my writing throughout the semester
and imagine him reading about me...
doing oral sex,
even in the work of fiction, terrible.
EXPERIENCE
This is tense.
Gosh. No need to read tonight.
No.
This is our anniversary.
- I can read about fellatio. - Gosh.
Yes!
Just kidding.
See you later.
Where do you want to go?
Meet Sam.
OK.
Yes, okay.
Have fun.
- Have fun. - OK.
Just don't make love.
You know... Not now.
I don't intend to make love.
Bibi knows, only if that idea comes up.
You're very fertile right now.
- We want to watch. - What do you want to watch?
Something in the Anthology Film Archives.
Documentary about male musicians.
I am afraid I have never been a doctor
on any campus, while Bill Cosby already.
Even Dylan already.
George Martin has the title Sir.
Paul McCartney and Elton John hold sir.
Buddy Holly was given a stamp. You know...
It's definitely not a good dating film.
There must be a warning "Don't take a date for this."
Kill the atmosphere. Emphasis on "killing."
Yes. I guess I failed.
What?
Our date.
No. This is not...
I think so.
It's up to you.
What are we...
Are you dating?
Good question.
Gosh. Do not panic.
We don't do anything, swear. Just hug and kiss.
Does not touch the vagina.
Good. Uncle will wait in the car.
Sit down and...
See you later, huh? So...
Gosh. The train is very chaotic.
You missed an appointment.
Did you not receive my message?
Sending messages doesn't arrive on time.
OK. Sorry. But as I said, the train is chaotic.
- Where do you want to go? - See if you can enter.
He just came. Can you enter it?
- Can you wait? - No problem.
- Good. You are welcome. - Yes. thanks.
What do they say?
You can enter in half an hour.
OK.
Means there is no problem.
Aunt will wait in the car too.
Honey.
Hey!
Here!
The rain is heavy!
- I can sit behind. - No. Sitting in front.
Hey!
Gosh!
Auntie bought you Green Goddess with wheat grass.
Are you okay?
- Bad. - Gosh.
Honey, sorry, Aunt was angry. Aunt is too much.
Is that not it?
The doctor just scolded me and said my egg didn't develop according to schedule.
- What? - Dordick scolded you?
Dr. Russell.
- Who is he? - I think that's the name.
It says I don't have enough follicles,
that I'm "sluggish respondent",
people my age should be better
and my eggs don't grow with the right speed.
He said he had a 41-year-old patient who produced more eggs than me.
Gosh.
Honey, what are you doing? What...
- I need to talk to Dr. Russell. - Sorry, he was with the patient since morning.
But I can give him a message if I want.
OK. Tell him my niece is not a chicken.
Please note.
Yes, tell him that our donors, are giving us a gift of life,
- treated badly. - Lower your voice, Mr. Grimes.
Is there a problem?
Dr. Russell, this is Richard Grimes.
Hey. Dr. Frank Perdue. How are you?
Sorry, what...
Really? Sorry?
Because my niece is crying in my car,
feel like a factory farm animal that failed,
because you said didn't produce enough eggs!
Do I need to call a security guard?
I don't know. Just call.
Sorry about... Sorry.
Sorry. Let me strengthen it.
Sorry.
I will collect it with a jacket.
Damn.
Hi!
They drive you crazy there?
I stayed in a dorm for three months.
Right.
You know...
You can stop anytime.
Understand?
Don't worry about the amount. Just need one good egg.
That's what they keep saying.
OK.
Good night.
- Hi. - Hey.
- How are you? - Good. How are you?
- Good. - Good.
- I have to... - Yes. Sorry.
Hey, Sadie?
Are you panicking?
- Not really. Should I panic? - Not me...
You seem to keep your distance.
- I'm in the bathroom. - No, this morning, you...
You leave before I wake up.
Sorry. I...
late for something.
I'm not pretending to be shy,
it's just...
a lot of personal things that I face now.
"Glycoprotein Hormone from Gonadotropins".
- Can it sound more science fiction? - They call it a trigger.
Makes you ovulate, then 36 hours later, take,
then finish!
OK. Are you ready?
OK.
OK. One two three.
Uncle's taste is clear, but...
we can't do this without you.
Gosh. Know what we never talked about?
What?
All childbirth processes.
You will do it at home with
companion and bathtub, and placenta?
Natural childbirth?
Nothing has happened so far.
Somehow we start now.
It says I have the most boring job in the world.
What I did all day was to make people fall asleep.
OK.
Really? OK.
They do ICSI with 15 eggs. Six is fertilized and waits for two more.
Is that good?
I'm very happy.
Are Aunt getting fat afterwards?
I swear to go up 5.4 kg in three days.
Sometimes the body needs time adjust to hormones.
Aunt won't worry.
Coffee is on the table. Also scrambled eggs and strawberries.
Thank you.
- OK. Get well soon. - Certainly.
See you later.
Why is getting fatter? He doesn't eat anything in two days.
That's water retention. Very normal.
Hey. Are you okay?
I don't know.
- What's wrong? - There is something wrong. I...
Starting a few days ago, after taking.
Yes. We are doing IVF.
- Are you trying to get pregnant? - No.
- Me. - Correct.
I thought you were his parents.
- Prospective parents. - Correct.
She's my aunt, she's my uncle. I am just a donor.
This is complicated.
I can see. Are there difficulties with taking it?
No.
Actually...
There. A little.
What happened?
I don't...
- I don't have many follicles... - All right.
so, I increase the dose of Follitropin.
How many?
As much...
Gosh.
The doctor is very stupid.
Not him.
He didn't force me.
I do it myself.
What?
I increase the dose myself.
Sadie...
I want this to work for you.
You spend a lot of money.
I know this means a lot to you.
I don't want to disappoint you.
It's okay.
Tok-tock.
It's OK, Mom. I am fine.
They just observe.
Honey.
My child.
This is not their fault.
This is my fault. I am stupid.
Stopping progesterone,
estrogen, estrace, and supplement pathways.
Barbara will contact to set up the meeting to discuss the next step.
Sorry.
Yes, okay. thanks.
- Where do you want to go? - Take the dog's way.
I'm very sad.
Richard?
Gosh. Have they never stopped partying?
Fuck!
Damn...
Do you hear me?
Yes.
I know intellectually, I have to do something for you.
Entertain you or whatever. But I'm sorry I can't.
I can't do it.
OK.
You will hate me for saying this.
You will consider it a terrible blasphemy, but...
Actually I'm happy...
this cycle doesn't work.
Because at least it's over.
I know this is cruel, but I honestly feel it.
Relieved.
I don't even want to have more children.
I want my life back.
Look at us. We messed up.
We seem unrelated, especially marriage.
I'm not your husband,
I'm just a man who injects hormones into your butt every night.
We don't even make love.
- Is that the point? Sex? - No.
Yes.
Maybe. I have no idea.
How? Will we make love again?
Do you really ask or be theoretical?
No. I really ask.
Do you think we will make love again?
I don't know, Richard.
- You don't know? - Yes.
Yes, at a certain time.
- At what time exactly? - I don't know!
Why are you fixated on this?
No. I just showed because we are so obsessed...
with this project, we make love maybe once in 11 months.
You have to drink a bottle of wine before considering it!
Dr. Dordick is more intimate with your vagina than me!
Gosh. Do you want to make love now? Is that so?
Because we have just failed IVF.
Somehow with you, but it makes me sad.
And empty and desperate. Does not make me...
thinking about erotic things specifically.
But if you are serious...
we can try something.
I can't guarantee this will be very pleasant.
The battery still works. It's our lucky day.
Slow down. Easy to miss.
There!
That's it.
- Hello. - Hey.
- Hi! - Hi, Sadie?
- Yes. - Hey, I'm Jonathan.
- Greetings. This is for you. - Greetings.
- Fun. - OK.
- Hello! Richard. Greetings. - Jonathan, greetings.
- Rachel. - My wife.
That they are.
Spencer and Katrina Trask.
Our patron saints.
- Malang about children. - Can't have children?
No, their children are four, but all die young.
Some are buried here.
After children die,
they make their home a place for artists can come and work.
Therefore we are here, that's the reason for everything here.
Everything is in your package too.
Gosh!
- Wait. What... - All right!
Are you serious?
- Look at this. - This is Katrina's room.
Good.
Look. You even have a lazy sofa.
Wait, is this my room?
Gosh!
I've been here three times. I never got this room.
This...
So...
we will pick up another month, & apos; right?
Actually there is no need.
Sam says he can pick me up.
He always wants to see Saratoga Springs and...
You don't need to travel.
Thank you for your efforts to bring me here.
Aunt doesn't use influence.
Aunt doesn't praise me? I thought that my reason was accepted.
OK.
Take it!
NINE MONTHS THEN
Candy or be bullied!
You guys look great.
What are you guys doing?
Climate change.
Who are you?
Richard Nixon.
He was president when I was little.
I want to use Bill Clinton's mask, but I didn't find it.
I think he was before you were born too.
Sorry.
Here it is.
How?
Thank you.
- Thank you. - OK.
Sorry about the environment.
Hey.
Where can you get it from?
Linen cabinets.
- Come here. - Where?
This is 800 number!
This. Answer it.
- Why me? - I... Come on!
OK.
Hello?
Yes, that's us.
No. We are glad you called. This is the right time.
We just came out to...
Halloween.
Yes. New York City.
There are pros and contract. Where are you...
Where are you from?
We have never been to Virginia.
WELCOME TO VIRGINIA
VIRGINIA FOR LOVERS
Mainland!
Thank you.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
OK.
- Thank you. - Okay, thank you.
Actually we are waiting for someone.
- I will take another menu. - Good.
Already.
That's better.
FOR MIA
