Significant Other

Hello?

Hello, I'm calling
from Dr. Tannenbaum's office. -Hi.

Dr. Tannenbaum wanted to inform you
that due to a misunderstanding

you won't be able
to have the MRI test.

He asks that you
have an EKG instead.

What misunderstanding?

Last appointment,
he didn't realize you're pregnant,

and you can't have
an MRI during pregnancy.

Who did you call?
-You.

What's my name?
-Do you hear me?



Yes. -Your referral
is waiting at our office.

I don't follow.

Dr. Tannenbaum said you can't have
an MRI because you're pregnant,

so you need to do a different test.
Okay?

I'm calling to ask where you
want us to send the referral.

But I'm not pregnant.

Your blood tests
confirm that you are.

Can I speak with the doctor?
-He's with a patient right now.

Just to understand
what's going on.

I can ask him to call you
after clinic hours.

Can't I speak with him now
just for a sec?

As I said, Dr. Tannenbaum
is with a patient.

When you're at the doctor's, you
want his full attention, don't you?

Okay, but if I'm not pregnant,
can I have the MRI?



I'm not the one to decide,
but from what I was told,

you're pregnant
and can't have the MRI.

I suggest you discuss it with the
doctor. I promise to remind him.

Sure you will, you're his secretary.
-Okay, goodbye.

But do I have to wait...

Hello?

How do you feel?

Can't you tell?

My neck is still out,
my arm,

I have headaches,
and I don't know if it's related,

but when I cough it feels
like my whole body is falling apart.

What about you?
-I'm pregnant.

Other than that?
-That's pretty much it. I'm pregnant.

What do you mean ?
-What do I mean?

Pregnant?
-Yep.

You?'
-Yep.

Seriously?
-Yep.

Aren't you like, 65 years old?
-The wonders of nature...

For real?
-Yep.

Whose is it?
-What do you mean?

Mine?
-Yep.

I don't get it.
-What don't you get?

It's mine?
-Whose then?

You sure?
-Yep.

I peed on three different sticks,
and a blood test.

That's where it all started.

What did the sticks say?
-That I'm pregnant.

Aren't you on the pill?
-What for? I'm 65, right?

Why didn't you tell me you're not
on the pill? I would've been careful.

What do we do now?
-I don't know.

Abortion? Morning-after pill?
Medical committee?

I don't know what I want to do.

Let's Google it.

No, I mean,
I don't know what to decide.

Are you kidding me?

Your reaction really cheers me up.

Listen, you must be confused

or whatever, okay?
You can't keep it,

I don't wanna have a kid.

It's my responsibility too,
and I don't want it.

Okay? And if you keep it,
it's sperm theft.

It's not sperm theft.
-Yes, it is sperm theft.

We're not having a kid together,

no kid, no baby, nothing.

Sleep it off for an hour or two,

come back here, we'll go to the
clinic and abort it tomorrow.

No more kids.
I have two already, I'm done.

Good for you that you have two.
-Is it my fault you have no kids?

Did anybody blame you? -Of course
not, because it's not my fault!

I'm sorry I ever met you!
So go fuck yourself

and tell me you'll abort it

so that I calm down.

No. -Tell me you're having an
abortion, so I can calm down!

I can't promise that.

Are you for real?!
What's come over you?

You wanna be the worst mom
in the world?!

You know nothing about parenting!
-As if you're any better.

I suck at it, that's why
I don't want another kid!

Tell me you'll abort it.
-I can't promise that, sorry.

Did you plan this?
Was this part of a grand plan?

Give me a break, will you?!
You're so gross!

Exactly, why have a kid
with such a person?

I don't! Trust me,
you're the last person on earth

I'd wanna have a kid with.
-But he's mine.

You don't have to be involved in it,
I can do it myself.

Don't even go there,
this baby ain't happening.

No! You want a baby?
Use a sperm donor, okay?

I'm just a neighbor who fucked you,
I don't wanna have a kid with you.

I'm suicidal,
I'm depressive,

My kids and my stinking wife
ruined my life

and I don't want another wife
or anymore kids!

None of that!

I want to be alone!

Okay? So take your baby...

It's not even a baby yet, whatever
it is, and get it away from me!

Please, I beg you,
can't stand it.

You want me to have a heart attack
like you did?

Leave me alone! Go to Africa,
to Ethiopia, adopt a kid

and leave me the hell alone!

Do you even realize
what a pig you are?

What've you got to do
with being a father?

You inconsiderate, pathetic loser!

So what do you want from me?
-Nothing. It just happened.

So adopt a dog or a goat!
What do you mean, it just happened?!

You agree with me that I'm unfit
to be a father! I'm a shitty father!

I'm not up for it!

The poor kid won't have a dad,
I'll never visit him,

you want your kid
to be miserable?

Sorry, it's not your decision.
-You bet it is!

Oh, yeah? What will you do?

Enough, I'm being serious here.

Let's calm down and talk logically.

You wanna relax?
-Yes.

So talk nicely.
Apologize and talk nicely.

I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry.

Sorry I yelled,
sorry about everything.

We're both wound up,
so let's calm down.

Listen, this isn't the right time,
I'm overwhelmed,

I can't breathe,
I can't live,

I'm suffocating, I can't function,
I can't father another kid.

You understand?

You're confused,
maybe it's the hormones...

Of course I'm confused,
you moron,

but can you pull your head
outta your ass

and acknowledge
what I'm going through?

I don't care
what you're going through

God! Why did I even move here?!
What a mistake!

Now your true colors are showing!

You should be ashamed!
Stealing sperm like that!

Shame on you!

And I doubt you didn't plan this.
I'm shocked!

I'm leading. -You wanna go?
Leave the baby here.

I'll wreck your apartment, I swear.

I will not father this kid!
Kids are a product of love,

and I don't want a kid!

I will not have another kid,
and if I ever do,

I'll kill myself the day it's born!
Period!

Wait.

I'll pay for
your fertility treatments,

whatever you want,

I'll be beside you the whole time,
but I don't want a kid,

it's my right.

No, it's inside my body

and it's my right to choose
for my own body.

Save the cliches, will you?

This isn't a pro-life ad!

Just because it's inside you
doesn't make it all yours!

It's mine just as much
as it is yours.

I don't get it,
are you trying to ruin my life?

Enough! My life is shit,
I don't wanna live,

leave me alone!
I don't need this mess!

Let's have an abortion

and then we'll discuss everything,
I promise.

I know you think this is your shot
at motherhood, but it's not,

you can't make me do it.
I don't want this!

Do you realize you're asking of me
exactly what I'm asking of you?

I'm not asking anything of you!
-Sure you are!

You refuse to have another kid
just as much as I want to have a kid.

Okay, but let's discuss this!

If you listen to me,
I'll listen to you, let's talk.

Tell me what you want, I'll listen,
and then you'll listen to me.

Talk.

I'm saying it's a huge decision

which I never
had to deal with before.

I never decided not to have kids.
-I get it.

Now, listen...
-Shut up!

I'm saying,
I never decided not to have kids,

it just happened

either because
I took wrong turns in life,

or because I'd made mistakes,
or because I'm screwed up

or because I wanted it or not...
I don't know what I want.

But I never decided that.

As it is, I
feel like a freak of nature,

roaming the planet...
like, check it out,

a childless woman,
what a screw-up...

And now you're asking me
to decide that,

to deliberately say

here I am, a freak of nature.

And maybe I am a freak of nature,

but at least let me
figure that out with myself.

Okay, I get it,

but as painful as it is,

I can't help you here

and you can't force me to.

Neither can you.

So what's next?
What do we do?

I already told you,
I don't know.

So, was it all worth it?

Maybe it was.

You had everything,
now you have nothing.

I think it's a good deal.

You'll get to sit
in your shitty apartment

and jerk off about your life,
how smart you are,

how you got your life together
better than anyone.

It's sad to think you used
to have it all, huh?

Yep.

I hope you won't cry this time.

Nope.
-Or throw things around.

My decision is final, you know.

Silence? Is that your new thing?

I never loved you.

Neither did I.

So let's get it over with.

It was an awful day.

You kept screaming.

There must've been a reason.

No reason.

You were just a whiney baby.

So what will you do?

I don't know.

Like hell you don't know.
You know everything.

You might not admit it to yourself,
but inside, you know.

Do you know?

Of course I do.

Someone's gotta have
the upper hand here, no?

So tell me.

I never told you what to do
and I don't plan on starting now.

Are you for real? You know what
I should do and you won't tell me?

You have to make
your own mistakes,

so you can't pin
your bad choices on me.

But if I do the right thing,
then what could I blame you for?

You'll find something.
You always blame me.

Bullshit, I blame Dad.

Only now that you've grown up
and opened your eyes.

Because it's always
the parents' fault.

Give me a break, you've been on your
own longer than you've lived with us.

So? It doesn't just go away.
It's how you start out that counts.

You started out fine.
20 years, 30...

You know what?
Even 40, if you insist,

but beyond that -
take responsibility.

And if I can't take responsibility?
Who's accountable for that?

Wow, I knew I was a failure,
but not that bad.

You're not a failure. You did your
best under the circumstances.

Hello there.
Now you chime in?

Don't fight.
-What did I do?

If you can't contribute to this talk,
go back to your parties.

He's still doing that?
-Hasn't started.

My life was short,
I didn't get around to it.

You've lived your life, trust me,
way more than you deserved.

Are you jealous?
-Don't be rude.

If you stop being jealous,
I'll stop being rude.

Come on, you came
all this way just to fight?

He shortens my life
and patronizes me. There's a limit.

That was pretty harsh.
-So now you're both against me?

Can I get some attention here?

Again you're whining
about not getting attention?

Yes, enough already.

Now she'll rant about how
we didn't photograph her

on her first day of 1 st grade.

I'm so sorry we didn't devote
our entire lives to you.

We gave you life,
just be grateful and that's it.

When you'll be in our situation,
you'll learn to appreciate that.

Okay, thanks, sorry,
you did a great job,

it was total success.
-We didn't do that great...

Certainly not a total success.

But who did? Show me one person
on this planet who didn't screw up.

I am.

You're not on this planet,
so save it.

Why did I ever think
you two could help me out?

What do you need?

I need you to tell me
what you think.

What did you tell her?

I thought you hear everything.

He hears, but he doesn't listen.

Now look who started it.
-What did I say?

It's true, you don't listen.

When it's interesting,
I listen.

Do you?
So what were we discussing?

Maybe it wasn't interesting.
-She said she thinks...

I think she should do
what she wants to do, okay?

My whole life I did what I was
told to do, and what did I get?

Cancer! Great...

And she always did
as she pleases,

and what did she get out of it?
A heart attack.

And that's a good thing.

When you choose
what you want to do,

remember that at least one person
will be pleased.

But I don't know
what I want.

You want just one small thing
everything.

And when you want everything,
what are you left with?

Nothing. -You wanted
everything and you had it.

I'm a man,
how can you compare it?

Men are two-dimensional,
what do they need? -Exactly.

Fine, but I can't have my cake
and eat it.

So flip a coin. -Flip a coin
over something like this?!

How do you think I chose
between you and Ora?

By flipping a coin?!
-By flipping a coin?!

I was kidding, sorry.

This isn't a laughing matter.
-You have no sense of humor.

Then you wonder why she's single?
-I've stopped wondering.

Although I'm fond of your neighbor.
-You are?

I think she could do better.

What options does she have?
-Micha! -What?

Do you have options?

He's not an option either.
-He's an option.

So what if he got
a little angry?

You know how many times I got mad
at women that I knocked up?

You've been together since you were
17. -Let's not get into this now.

Good idea.

Times were different. -He couldn't
keep it inside his pants.

You knew who I was,
and you wanted me anyway.

You think I knew what I wanted?
Does anyone know what they want?

Bullshit.

Who is it?
-It's me.

What do you want?

Can you open?

Please?

Hey.
-Hey.

I've thought about it,

and decided to let you do
whatever you want.

You can keep it,
you can abort it...

It's not a tactic.

I just figured,
you might be right, and...

It's your opportunity
and it didn't happen for nothing.

If you decide to keep it,

then I have no say.

To keep it or abort it

is your call.

Maybe I'll accept him,

I can't promise anything.

If what's done is done

and you really decide
that you want to keep it,

maybe I'll accept him,
maybe not.

I don't know what will be.

That's all.
If you decide to do it,

I'll either accept it or not.

I have no say...

And...

you'll be a good mom.

I was just being mean.

Is that okay?

Thanks for saying this.

So you're keeping it?

Kidding.

Anyway,
I have a splitting headache,

so I'll go lie down,

but I'm here.

What?

Nothing.

Alright.
