Do you wanna have our baby? OLIVIA AVA Remember no pressure, babe. We want Olivia to feel a hundred percent comfortable. HAYDEN Of course. Of course. Forgive me, Olivia. My sense of humor can sometimes be, um, lost in translation, I think, that's what Doctor Hunches said. AVA Hmm. HAYDEN I'm told I can muck things up. AVA HAYDEN Right, dear? AVA I think what Hayden is trying to say is that we wanna make sure this decision is best for you, not just for us, but we are willing to provide anything that you might desire. OLIVIA Oh. Look, thank you. That's you guys are very nice. AVA OLIVIA I did a a bit of research on the plane regarding surrogacy, but, uh, it was a little bit HAYDEN Overwhelming? OLIVIA Yes. Overwhelming. AVA We understand. Um, as of now, we have three embryos. That's three fertilized eggs. Three opportunities to really have a baby and our fertility doctor is one of the top doctors in the country. HAYDEN One of my oldest friends, basically family. AVA Unfortunately, my body tends to attack the embryo. So, I'm not able to carry it my own. As our surrogate, you will undergo fertility treatments to prep your body so that the egg can be implanted in the uterus. Also, my fertility journey doesn't need a play-by-play on Tmz. So, we will require you to sign an Nda, not only to protect us, but to protect you as well. Olivia? Olivia? Are you okay? OLIVIA What? Um, yes. I'm sorry. HAYDEN Okay. AVA HAYDEN I think that's about enough for now, babe. Maybe we should just show you to your room? OLIVIA Yes. That would be great. Thank you. AVA You must be exhausted after that long flight.

This is so good. Thank you. So how long have you been working for them? PETER A bit, actually. OLIVIA A bit, huh? How official. PETER AVA HAYDEN That's enough, Ava! I'm done. AVA God, I hate you!

And to all, good night. OLIVIA This was great. I'm just gonna take this. Thanks. PETER Yeah. OLIVIA Good night, Ava. AVA Good night, Olivia. Oh! Good. You got my gift. OLIVIA Yeah. AVA It was my great grandmother's. I used to visit her when I was young. She wasn't very flashy. She was actually quite simple, but she wore this locket every day until the day she died. When I visit, she would let me wear it. Same story every year. There was a war, and my great grandfather, and the lucky necklace that saved his life. And I loved it. I loved the story. OLIVIA I don't get it. I mean, this necklace is so important to you. Why would you let me wear it? AVA 'Cause it's time to pass on the luck. I have everything I could ever want except a baby on my own. And you could bring us that blessing with a little luck. OLIVIA I'll do it. AVA You'll do it? OLIVIA I would love to be your surrogate. I would love to carry your baby. AVA Oh. Thank you. Here. It looks beautiful on you. OLIVIA Thanks. AVA Thank you. CASSIDY Hey, you ready? OLIVIA As I'll ever be. CASSIDY Good girl. You know, it takes a little adjusting. OLIVIA No. I mean, Ava is very high profile. It's a necessary sacrifice. CASSIDY Exactly. And it's for your protection too. We don't need anyone in their business, you know? OLIVIA But and I'm totally fine with this, I swear. But what if I need to call someone for, like, an emergency or something? CASSIDY Who would you call? I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to come out that way. I just kind of thought that you are on your own with your parents being, you know. And you said your boyfriend was kind of a real jerk, right? OLIVIA Yeah. You know what? You're right. I don't know who I'd call. CASSIDY But, hey, you're here now. Things are gonna be really good. Whirlwind starts tomorrow. See you later. OLIVIA DOCTOR Other side effects you might experience include severe nausea, weight gain, and extreme exhaustion. PETER It's great. Thanks, Jerry. OLIVIA Morning. PETER Morning. OLIVIA Who was that? PETER Ava's green juice delivery every morning 6:15 a.m. What are you doing up? OLIVIA I think the hormones are making it hard to sleep but hopefully, it'll all be worth it. PETER If it's what you want. OLIVIA Of course it's what I want. Like, Hayden and Ava have been beyond generous with me. It's the least I can do. PETER So you've really thought this through? What it's gonna be like? OLIVIA Peter, I have met with more doctors in the last month than in my entire life. Believe me, I can't stop thinking about what it's gonna be like. PETER So you're telling me that you're ready to carry someone else's baby for nine months, and then just give it up to two people who probably don't even all I'm saying is, it's a pretty big decision you've made. OLIVIA You're right. It's a really big decision. But Hayden and Ava deserve to have a baby and I can help them do that, and I want to. I wanna help them. PETER Okay then. OLIVIA Haven't you ever wanted something that maybe wasn't easy for you? PETER Why do you think I'm here? OLIVIA What do you mean? PETER Well goal was to open my own place. OLIVIA Oh. I had no idea. That's that's awesome. So where was this place gonna be? PETER Portland, maybe. Nothing fancy, just something small and intimate where I can serve the kind of food I grew up on. OLIVIA Then why are you still here? PETER Well, I was first hired as their vacation house chef. OLIVIA Vacation house chef? Oh, God. I wanna be them so bad. PETER Right? You'll love this place. It is deep in Palm Desert 20 minutes away from any civilization. OLIVIA Oh, sounds perfect. So then what happened? PETER Let's just say they are really good at getting people to do what they want. They have connections. They told me that if I came to work for them full-time for a year, they would help me open my own place. OLIVIA And when was that? PETER A while ago. Hmm. S'mores. How delightful. OLIVIA AVA Hey. Come with me. OLIVIA What? AVA Come. OLIVIA What? Is everything okay? AVA Uh-hmm. Okay. It's time. Pee. OLIVIA What? AVA Here. OLIVIA Yeah. But aren't we supposed to wait to take the test at the doctor? AVA I don't care what the doctors aid. It's just a bunch of crap. Now pee. Are you peeing? OLIVIA I'm trying. I'm not used to peeing in front of anyone. AVA You done? OLIVIA Yeah. AVA Okay. Come on. This is what I wanted to show you. Do you think she's pretty? I don't. I don't know why everyone is fawning all over her. I mean, I keep looking at her face trying to figure out why everyone is so obsessed with her. Does she look like she has star quality? OLIVIA Um she's cute, I guess. AVA You guess? What kind of answer is that? OLIVIA I mean, she's not you. She's okay if you like that, but, I mean, she's nothing special. AVA Right? She's like nothing special. OLIVIA I mean, I can't think of anyone with more star quality than you. AVA Oh, thank you, Olivia. Thank you for being so sweet and honest and you're a breath of fresh air. Oh, the pregnancy test. OLIVIA Oh, okay. Just, Ava, remember what the doctor said. It's not gonna be accurate this early so don't AVA Can I do anything right? OLIVIA Oh. Hey, I'm sorry. It's not your fault. AVA Don't touch me 'cause you do not deserve to be here.

I'm just craving one of those grilled veggie salads. OLIVIA Uh, yeah. I'm free. AVA Oh. Goodness, Olivia. I'm not asking you to join me in a prison riot. I just thought it'd be fun, you know, a fun girl day. You, me, midday champagne. OLIVIA Yeah. No. It's it sounds like fun, I'm in. AVA Great. I'll scoop you up at noon. And get your shopping shoes on 'cause momma's gonna buy you a new pair of shoes. Ugh. Bye, baby. HAYDEN Uh-hmm. AVA Uh-hmm. OLIVIA Do you know if Peter's there? I'm gonna be right back. AVA So I told him I did not have the stamina to do that again unless we brought Patty in. OLIVIA AVA And we did, twice. OLIVIA Wow. AVA Hmm. Hmm. It's girl fun day. We can't stop now. And it's your turn. And you better make it good. OLIVIA My turn for what? AVA I just told you three of my best sex stories and none of them involved Hayden. Now it is your turn and make it good. OLIVIA Oh, God. I don't know. Um, well, um, my ex AVA Uh-hmm. OLIVIA he used to like to do it on the subway platforms. AVA Oh, my God. You little minks. You used to bang on the A-Train? Oh. I knew something freaky was going on in there. Okay. Give me the details. OLIVIA Well, no I I I tried, but I couldn't get into it. It was just too AVA Hot? Sexy? Full of vandals? OLIVIA Dirty. Like, it's really unsanitary if you think about it. AVA Yeah! Exactly. OLIVIA I don't know. AVA Is that why he's your ex? OLIVIA Uh, no. He just he had other interests. Being with other girls was of them, so AVA That bastard. What is his name? I'm gonna look him up. Maybe I will OLIVIA Oh. do a post about him. OLIVIA Uh, you uh, you know what? I don't even think he's on here anymore. AVA Everyone is on social media. It's un-American if you're not. Thank you. WAITER Uh-hmm. AVA Oh. Oh. Are you sure you're upset he cheated on you?

CASSIDY What do you mean? OLIVIA Nothing. Nothing. CASSIDY You cool? OLIVIA Yeah, she just she seemed like she really wanted to let loose today. CASSIDY Yeah. Ava has been under a lot of stress lately that her last three films had been total flops. I know you don't know anything about this industry, but it's basically like actor cancer. OLIVIA No, I totally get that and I'm sure she knows what she's doing. It's just all the drinking and the cocaine, I just feel like that can't be good for her eggs. CASSIDY Well, we've already retrieved them so it's okay. OLIVIA Yeah, okay. I'm sure you're right. CASSIDY Did you pick up your prescription? OLIVIA Yes, we did.

PHARMACIST I'm just gonna need Ms. Bolton's signature. CASSIDY Oh, I'm authorized to sign that. Thank you. Go ahead. I have a couple questions for the pharmacist. OLIVIA Okay. CASSIDY Um, okay.

AVA We're having a baby, baby. HAYDEN What? Oh, hell, yes, we are. What we're having a baby. AVA Oh, thank you, thank you. HAYDEN Hmm. AVA Just know this hasn't been easy. Thank you. OLIVIA Of course. AVA Thank you. HAYDEN OLIVIA AVA Isn't she adorable? HAYDEN Uh-huh. AVA Uh-hmm. OLIVIA Um, well, I'm gonna I'm gonna go to bed but you guys celebrate. AVA No. No, no, no, no. Don't go. We wanna celebrate, right? HAYDEN Yes, we do. OLIVIA Um, no, it's okay. Um, honestly, it's past my bed time. AVA Oh, boo. Don't be a party pooper, Olivia. HAYDEN Uh-uh. AVA Tell her not to be a party poop. HAYDEN Don't be a party pooper, Olivia. OLIVIA AVA We wanna celebrate With you HAYDEN OLIVIA Oh, um HAYDEN OLIVIA Whoa. HAYDEN Oh. She's a bit of a loud one, eh? AVA HAYDEN Come here. Come here. Ssh. OLIVIA No. HAYDEN Shh. OLIVIA Wait. Please stop. Please get off. Stop it. Just please, please, please stop. Stop, the baby. I don't wanna hurt the baby. HAYDEN What? What, is that a thing? Is that a thing? OLIVIA Yeah. The the doctor said that I have to be careful this early 'cause it could it could hurt the baby so I can't. AVA Let her go. Party pooper. Uh, uh, uh. No more junk food, Olivia. Peter, I give you strict orders. You are carrying our baby. Only pregnancy approved foods. You have the list. PETER Yes, ma'am. AVA Now, I want Olivia to eat everything on it starting with the eggs. Also, you'll take 30-minute daily walks from here on out. It's what's best for the baby. Peter. OLIVIA Hey, I can't eat eggs. Seriously, they gross me out. PETER I promise. I'll try to make them as least gross as possible. OLIVIA CASSIDY But Ava refuses to do a reality show even though it could probably bring life back into her career. I mean they would kill it more, you know. Liv? Olivia? OLIVIA Yeah, sorry. Um, yeah, you're right. CASSIDY Yeah. Sure, I am. Are you okay? Do you need to sit down? OLIVIA No. I'm I'm fine. CASSIDY Okay. Are you sure? You haven't said anything since we left the house. You know, you can talk to me. OLIVIA Thanks, Cass, but, um, no, I'm fine. Let's just keep walking. CASSIDY Sure. OLIVIA Have you ever worried that you've gotten yourself into a situation that you thought was one thing but then you realize it's not at all what you got? CASSIDY What do you mean? OLIVIA Nothing. Just I don't know. I have a history of poor judgment. CASSIDY Okay. OLIVIA That came out wrong. Look, Hayden and Ava have been so generous with me. And I'm beyond grateful for this opportunity to help them, it's just I don't know, sometimes I get this feeling, not all the time but sometimes, that they're a little wild, like, are they really ready to have a baby in the house? CASSIDY Yeah. What do you mean? Of course. They wanted this for years. OLIVIA Well, that's the other thing. Sometimes it feels, like, Hayden doesn't want this. I mean, no, of course he does, it's just I don't know, he said some things. It feels like he'd be okay without a baby too. And there's just been some weird stuff, like Ava, she has these bruises on her wrists. That's not normal, right? And these walks, I mean, no offense because I love having someone to walk with but it's like I'm never allowed to be alone, like, ever. CASSIDY Olivia, that's for your safety. We've been through this. You know that Ava and Hayden have explicitly asked for discretion. OLIVIA I understand that. I, I do, but I just I feel, like, I'm a prisoner sometimes. CASSIDY A prisoner? Wow. OLIVIA Okay. Prisoner was the wrong word. I just I don't know. I guess I'm just not used to all the security cameras, the chaperons. Now that I'm saying it out loud maybe it, it doesn't sound like such a big deal. It's just they're always on something. I just don't feel like a baby would be safe there. CASSIDY It's not really up to you to decide whether or not you think they're ready to be parents. OLIVIA Well, I'm not saying I have the right. I just, I'm CASSIDY You know what I think? I think you need to be grateful that you get to be any part of this. And that you need to keep your mouth shut. OLIVIA I'm, I'm really sorry. I didn't CASSIDY No, you signed an NDA. There are rules. You need to follow them. Got it? OLIVIA Yeah. I got it. It, it won't be a problem. CASSIDY Good. I think it's time to go home now. PETER Writing your memoirs on those toasty tarts? OLIVIA What? Oh. Yeah, that's funny. PETER No, no, no. Please. I got it. Don't you think you're carrying enough around? OLIVIA I know, right? Look at this thing. PETER Yeah, it's a it's hard not to. It's huge. OLIVIA Ssh, don't let Ava hear you say that. PETER She's still following you around with that tape measure? OLIVIA Oh, yeah. I always thought that pregnancy would be nine months of brownies, instead it's sardines fish liver oil, and eggs. I really think I'm gonna need a new chef. PETER Thank you for reminding me of your daily dose OLIVIA Ugh. PETER of macaque placenta. OLIVIA You're the worst. PETER I know. AVA There you are. Did you have your eggs this morning? OLIVIA Yes. They were delicious. AVA Great. No butter, right? PETER No butter ma'am. AVA Okay. I am off. Big meeting today. Oh, that salmon piece can you make that for Olivia's lunch? Oh. And take extra good care of my munchkin. That doesn't seem right. Stand up. Peter, scale. Okay. Hmm . Step up. Let's make your walk an hour today, okay? OLIVIA Uh-hmm. AVA All right. Everybody, have a great day. OLIVIA It's like she knows what I'm even thinking about junk food. So I'm supposed to look pregnant but not too pregnant, how do women do this? PETER Well, for what it's worth, I think you look incredible for someone so huge. OLIVIA You're the worst. Oh, my God. Is that you? Hello. Hello in there. I'm gonna take such good care of you. I love you so much. You may not, um, get to see me as much as you'd like. You may not get to know me very well but I will always, always love you. Okay? To the moon and back. No matter what. Good morning, Jarred. It must be 6:15. Eggs it is. There you go. PETER That smells downright delicious. OLIVIA Sorry, I can't figure how to it was on too high. PETER You don't say. OLIVIA Thank you. I really thought I could handle making some lousy eggs. PETER But you hate eggs. OLIVIA I know. Hey, can I tell you something? PETER That this is how you punish them while I'm gone? OLIVIA Ha-ha. Funny. No. Last night, I felt the baby move. She kicked. It was incredible, also a little weird, very sci-fi but incredible. And I guess, I don't know, I just I wanna make sure she gets a proper diet. What? Is that really weird? PETER No. It's actually pretty sweet. OLIVIA PETER Is she moving now? OLIVIA No, not right now. But, you know, I read that if you eat something sweet can help make the baby move. PETER Oh, did you now? OLIVIA Uh-hmm. Yeah. I mean, I guess we'll never know. PETER No, I guess not. Except that I did just make these. OLIVIA Oh. PETER But, you know, who needs to feel the baby move anyway. OLIVIA Oh, not me. I already felt her so I'm good. PETER No. Not a big deal. OLIVIA Uh-hmm. It's fine. PETER Yeah. It's cool. OLIVIA Awesome. PETER Uh-hmm. Uh-hmm. Okay, fine, have one. OLIVIA Ah! Thank you. Oh, my God. So good. Thank you. PETER Uh, is she moving yet?
