Claire Fisher: Um…no.
AJ Soprano: Oh. So, like, Meadow says that Brenda says that you, like, once sucked a dude's toes or something. Is that true?
Claire Fisher: Get out. Now.
AJ Soprano: [farts loudly] Awww, yeah! Meeting adjourned!
Nate next finds himself happily ensconced beside the coffin wall, curled up on the floor with Lisa as they admire their infant child. Remember this dialogue, kids, because it'll be important later. Lisa: "I love it when she does that. When she sort of jerks right before she falls off to sleep." Nate: "You freaked out the first time she ever did it." Lisa: "I remember that feeling of falling. When I was little. Like I was falling out of bed. And it always woke me up. Like I was scared of what I was going to fall into. But…that never happens to me anymore." Alternate Reality Nate #2, his hair mushed down into a McCartney-style mop-top that is presumably supposed to connote good parenting skills, brushes his hand along Lisa's neck and takes a moment to savor the wholesome familial joys of fatherhood.
Casey McCall: Do you think I think taking your panties off is a bad idea?
Dana Whitaker: Yes.
Casey McCall: Because I support the idea. I'm in favor of it, believe me.
Dana Whitaker: Casey…
Casey McCall: I am the president of Dana Should Get Undressed.
Dana Whitaker: Thank you.
Hey, look! It's Brenda! And she's got a toddler and Alternate Reality Nate #3 with her. "Oh, great. He's got the hiccups again," she gripes about the child, as they pass through the Fortress's front door. "Shake him and scream in his face," suggests Nate. "What? The world is a hostile and terrifying place. He needs to learn that." Brenda throws a minor nod to my long-lost pal Continuity by adding that if Ruth "talks about what a gassy baby" Nate was one more time, she's going to scream. And then Nate will start sympathy farting. Probably Dead But Also Possibly Just Daydreaming In A High-School Physics Class Nate definitely seems to prefer this potential outcome to any other, although his grin does fade a bit when Brenda adds, "Thank God we got high before we came." Heh. I hope you all enjoyed that scene, by the way, because it's the last time you'll be seeing Brenda for a while.
Irina: They tink they can just toss us away, like wet tissue or used belt.
