I love that you know me so well

#2

Okay.

#3

I get that when your friends disappear to marriage and motherhood,

#4

You know, the one that said,

#5 #6

I mean, meeting friends is pretty standard.

#7

Ben's not gonna break up with me

#8

I am so happy we've finally been able to schedule a playdate.

#9

Hey, you have an older son, right?

#10

I know. I was joking.

#11

and don't reveal our true selves

#12

it's not perfect, so... bye.

#13

Mixing worlds is fun. It's normal. I can do it.

#14

Why didn't you talk me out of it?

#15

this mixing of worlds could go wrong.

#16

Well, that's a pretty real possibility.

#17

Remember after your parents split?

#18 #19

We don't want to inconvenience you.

#20

So, Rebecca...

#21

Yeah!

#22

So we can talk now.

#23

♪ Happy birthday, dear... ♪

#24

This is where I go when I don't want to talk to my kids.

#25

No, I think maybe someone just likes onion volcanoes.

#26 #27

You'll meet people.

#28

Do you have plans tonight?

#29

schedule a fake interview, and somehow convince her to love me.

#30 #31 #32

Oh...

#33 #34

I showed you mine, show me yours.

#35

I, Alice, want to meet your friends.

#36

Okay. I'm excited.

#37

And now that I'm sort of running it back in my head, also weird.

#38

- So beautiful. So always wrong. - Hi!

#39

I know that I can't!

#40

about Ben from his Lincoln Park High days.

#41

Mm. No one can take that away from you.

#42 #43

- Electrical. - Electrical.

#44

Okay, let's just ask him.

#45

I have to work hard to support my family.

#46

- Mm-hmm. - ...who knows where.

#47

Yes. Okay. Oh. Ooh. Ha.

#48

- Having fun at this par-tay? - Oh, yeah, a blast.

#49

- I don't know. - How long have he and I been dating?
