30. whoa! ye god... man, this is going to be sweet, huh? "aarthe python yuspovich "goes for revenge "in his rematch against juan el cobra lopez, "this friday the 19th on pay-per-view." "this friday the 19th." oh, my god... what's the matter? i can't see the fight. the 19th is carrie's birthday! so what? you already made plans to take her out somewhere? no, no, but i got to... do something with her. can't you just explain that we got the fight? that it's already paid for? and you wonder why your marriage didn't work out.

what are you doing? checking out how slow my skin bounces back when i pull it. compared to what? compared to how fast it used to bounce back. did you ever do it before? no. well, how do you know how fast it bounced back before? you know what? you're right. i should keep a log or something. what has gotten into you? my birthday. what about it? what about it? i'm going to be 30 years old. that's, like, the girl-woman dividing line. up till now, it's been, "oh, yeah, carrie, she's a pistol!" now it's going to be, "oh, right, mrs. heffernan. she's a handsome woman." who do you know who uses the term "pistol"? you know what i mean. come on. mmm. doug, did you already make plans for us to go out that night? tch! your birthday?

what, i'm not going to make plans? why do you ask? i just don't know how much i feel like celebrating. i mean, i'd almost rather... you know, just stay home, read a book, take a bath. really? am i--am i being stupid? just tell me i'm being stupid about this whole getting-older business, and we will go out friday night. doug? yeah, yeah, of course you are. i mean, this is crazy talk, you know? 30 is nothing. although it is halfway to 60. oh, my god, it is! i know exactly how you feel. i mean, remember my 30th birthday? i was so depressed, all i wanted to do was stay home and be alone with my thoughts. didn't we go to that bar where you got drunk, and you jumped against a velcro wall? outside was happy. inside...

sorrow. i think you should just stay home. you know, bathe, read, listen to a little of that lilith fair stuff. thank you, honey. you're very sweet. sure. so it's no problem canceling the plans you already made? no problem. i mean... the dinner reservations, they're... easily cancelable. same with the limo. the other couple, i'm sure they'll understand. oh, you already did all that? that is so sweet. what restaurant? hmm? a very nice place. very nice place. that new place i told you about, marino's, right? yeah. and--and who's the couple... deacon and kelly? yes. we were going to deacon-and-kelly it up. whoo! but, uh, we can do that all some other time, you know, when you don't have this 30th-birthday cloud, you know, hanging over your head, ok? ok. i'll just stay home.

listen to some jewel. you suck! not me. you. it was a selfish thing to do. you are a selfish bastard! not me. you. you stop that! make me. shut up! you shut up! no, you shut up! you shut up! you shut up... fatty! that's me. yeah. i'm the fat one. ok. hey, you are young and--and beautiful, and damn it, we're going out friday night. we're going to do everything i said we're going to do, and you're going to have the best birthday of your life. and you have the springiest skin i've ever seen! oh, come on. you can't be totally booked up.

not one table anywhere? you know what? perhaps my friend, uh... mr. jackson could convince you to take another look. you can't speak to him. he's the guy on the $20 bill. honey? yeah, can you hold on a second? yeah? for tomorrow night. what do you think? i like the slutty one. yeah, me, too. ok. it's going to be great! come on, it's my wife's birthday. you got to have a table. please! yes, that's fine. oh, ok. thank you. the name's heffernan. yup, i'll see you tomorrow night. all right, this is good. ok, "table at marino's," check. "limo," check. "gift," got it, "card." got to get that today. ok... hey, man, ready to go? yeah, yeah. listen. i need you and kelly to come out with us for carrie's birthday tomorrow night. can't do it. i already told you. my mom's flying in. look, i know, but i promised carrie a big birthday night when i thought she wouldn't want to do it, and then i felt so bad i shimmied her back into going, and now if i don't come through, i'll never be able to live with myself.

no idea what you're talking about, but...i got my mother. come on, we're late. please, come on-- hey, come on! it's 3 hours of your life! hmm... you still want me to tape that, uh... ultimate fighting for you, don't you? yeah. you said you would. oh, i'll tape it. sure. just be a shame if that tape had a little... accident before i could get it to you. so, this is great. we're all here for carrie's birthday. just feels right. we're really glad you can join us tonight, mrs. palmer. it's not like i had a choice. you snatch me fresh off the plane, don't even give a woman a chance to clean up. why didn't you tell me we were going out to a fancy dinner? i said i'm sorry.

should've told her, deke. it's not like we haven't had these plans for weeks. i guess i just forgot! i got one word for you, buddy. datebook. so, honey, you, uh... want to open my present now? no, no, no. i'm enjoying the limo ride too much. anyway, it's too dark in here to read the card. oh, yeah. unh... what you got going there, hon? i got something caught in my teeth. i tell you, if i don't get some floss, it's going to bother me all night. do you guys mind if we pull over at a drugstore? oh, man... this is the worst selection of cards i've ever seen! while you're here, why don't you buy me a datebook? let it go.

come on, i'm dying here. these cards, they're actually dusty. oh, will you hurry up? my mom and kelly in a confined space together. somebody's going down. wait a second. what's this? this is very nice. very nice. ok, let's go. just this. $1.08. ok, there you go. uh-oh. i can't change this. haven't you got something smaller than a 20? uh, no. sorry. a 10? still no. sorry. look, you got any smaller bills? kelly holds my wallet. man, you got some woman issues, huh? ok, all right, look, i'll just--i'll buy something else. uh... know what? uh, give me a comb, um, the oh henry! bar there, uh... throw in the nail clippers, and give me a water pistol. what color? uh, you got blue? no. i don't care then. whatever. ok, what does all that come to?

4.26. that's all? get some of these pretzels. yeah, yeah, give me $16 worth of pretzels. oh, those are free. you're killing me. so, mrs. palmer, you must be so excited to see deacon and kelly. and little baby kirby. he is so cute! who ever heard of naming a boy after a vacuum cleaner? some people have no sense. am i right? yeah. i... i know just what you mean. how many little ones do you have, darling? oh, me? uh, none. barren. oh, my god. no, no, no. not barren. not that i... not that i know of. ha ha! it's just that for the time being, i'm going to...

i want to focus on my career. mm-hmm. what do you do? i'm a...secretary. legal secretary. so you think it's more important to type and answer phones than to share your love with a sweet baby that's growing inside you? well, i also arrange for the muffins at the morning staff meetings. hurry up! stop pressuring me. uh-oh. what? i--i just wrote myself into a corner here! just read me what you have. "dear carrie, you are nothing less to me than a big..." where were you going with that? i don't know! i'm getting wired from chewing all this nicorette! all right, all right. just work with what you got. come on.

ok. "you are nothing less to me than a big... "pile of... love meat." oh, man, i am blanking! all right, don't panic. maybe we can play with the letters here. all right, what if you turned the "b"... yeah? into an "8"? where does that get me? wait a second, what if i change the "i"... into an "l"... and then i squeeze the "i"... before the "l"? no, why don't you just keep the "i" and draw in the "l," man? oh, hey, hey, yeah, yeah! oh, wait a second. that's "bilge"! oh, my god, what have i done? a lineup of unstoppable skincare! for whatever adventure always start fresh and finish sparkling ♪ only from new olay fresh effects.

i--i got--i got to floss again, you know. [telephone rings] [ring] hello. arthur, look, i need you to tape something for me on the vcr, ok? it's starting in a minute, so we have to hurry. first, set the tv to channel 3. then put a blank tape in the vcr and set it to channel 82. you got that? who is this? you know what i'm in the mood for? a drink. where's our waiter? why are they all inside? because it's warm and there are no pigeons. oh, my goodness. it's snowing. oh! oh! snow! snow! deacon, i am quite ready to leave! well, we're not. we are celebrating our friend's birthday.
