- Victoria Chase: These English instructions are worse than the French ones. What or who is Allen Wrench? This stupid car has more pieces than the puppet theater. And it needs two D batteries; where are we going to get those?
- [Victoria and Elka both look over at Joy]
- Joy Scroggs: Fine. I'll take them out of my... personal back massager.
- Melanie Moretti: All these toys were over at Elka's place.
- Elka Ostrovsky: Well, I did a lot of baby-sitting when I was young.
- Joy Scroggs: Was it hard pushing a stroller around before the invention of the wheel?
- Victoria Chase: I hate hardware stores.
- Joy Scroggs: Me too. It's all just stuff you need; nothing you ever want.
- Jenna: How's the baby? Did you come up with a name yet?
- Melanie Moretti: Too Tired.
- Jenna: That's all right; you've got time.
- Melanie Moretti: No, that's her name: Too Tired. When the nurse asked me what to put down all I could say was 'too tired' and I just didn't have the energy to correct her.
- Jenna: My friend's mum had a late baby too. Her name is Why God Why.
- Joy Scroggs: Stupid glue. I can't get this wine-glass out of my hand.
- Elka Ostrovsky: Well, that's how you look eighty percent of the day anyway.
- [first lines]
- Victoria Chase: Well, thank God Wilbur's present arrived from France in time for his birthday. What did you always dream of having when you were a little girl growing up in Poland?
- Elka Ostrovsky: Food.
- Victoria Chase: But a close second must have been... an eighteenth century beaux arts marionette theater.
- Joy Scroggs: Oh no, the instructions are in French.
- Elka Ostrovsky: What's French for 'puppets are creepy'?
- [Victoria has picked up a puppet]
- Elka Ostrovsky: It looks just like you.
- Joy Scroggs: There is a resemblance.
- Victoria Chase: What? This freakish creature looks nothing like me.
- Melanie Moretti: [Melanie enters] Hey, where'd you get the Victoria puppet?
- Melanie Moretti: Wow! These toys are really vintage, and kind of inappropriate. Drunken Irish Potato-Head?
- Elka Ostrovsky: They had a great slogan. I-rish I was drinkin'.
- [last lines]
- Alec: So? What? This is good-bye?
- Melanie Moretti: Yeah, I guess it is.
- [long pause]
- Melanie Moretti: Although we do live and work together.
- Alec: So this is going to be sad *and* awkward.
- Melanie Moretti: How about we just deal with sad tonight and awkward tomorrow?
- Alec: Okay.
- [he kisses her cheek]
- Alec: Good night, Mel.
- [he starts to leave but returns]
- Alec: We're going to have to deal with a little of the awkward right now. You have the keys.
- [she gives him the keys, and he leaves, then she takes out her phone]
- Melanie Moretti: Hey, Jenna. It's mom. No. No, everything's okay. I just, just really wanted to talk to my baby. So, what's new? Aaah, oh wow, you're kidding! That's great. It's just great. No, no, I got time. Yeah, I just... want to hear everything.
