Ever wish you could unhear something? 90 second scene from This is Us, Season 3 Episode 2 (two weeks ago). Video recording from my cell phone was too big (Even when I cut it down to the last 13 seconds). This scene gave me the willies, because it features a very inutuitive character who usually "gets" the humor of a situation...yet was played out in all seriousness without a smidgen of self-awareness.
Kate and Toby, newlyweds, pushing middle age, are in the back of rideshare car. This is "their" conversation.
= = =
Kate: Toby enough with the knee, you're driving me crazy.
Toby: Sorry I'm just super excited...an NYC premiere! This is too much!
(Kate gets a sour look over her face. Hyperventilates.)
What's the matter?
Fertility hormone hot flash.
I got this. (To driver--) Hey man can you crank the AC?
(Driver acknowledges)
Oh damn girl, you look like you're in a Whitesnake video. You make IBF look very rock & roll! (Faux bites her hand, growling)
Stop! My gossssh! (Looks toward driver) I'm on the hormone, and you've been extra frisky lately.
Oh well the idea of you and me making a mini-you-and-me, makes (pauses) mini me very excited.
All of this is big news is, I don't want to talk about risks and hormone shots with my mom...so let's not say anything.
Yeah some things are best kept between the husband and his wife...and his Lyft driver.
[Lyft driver, smiling, looks back with a warm smile] I REALLY hope the IBF works for you guys.
Kate & Toby: Ohhhkay. (Exchange bug-eyed looks)
