How's Ellie?

Hunter

Good.

Wyatt

That’s not an answer.

Hunter

Fine. Things are going well.

I think she might actually like me.

Wyatt

...

I was talking about the overdue pregnancy, Romeo.

Hunter

Oh.

Also good.

Restless. Ready to evict the tenant.

Wyatt

Good.

Now listen carefully.

Do NOT choose this week to profess your undying love.

Hunter

…

Wyatt

She’s nine months pregnant.

Her feet hurt. Her back hurts. She hasn’t seen her toes since Thanksgiving.

This is not about you.

Hunter

Noted.

Wyatt

Wait until the baby is sleeping through the night.

Hunter

So ... 2037?

Wyatt

Exactly.
