Lyrics & Translation

[English]

What are you doing?

What do you mean, what am I doing?

I mean, you're going to ruin your appetite.

I'm hungry.

[Bell dings]

They’re never late for Sunday dinner.

Should we wait?

I guess.

You're late.

What uh- what do you mean?

What do you mean, what do I mean?

You're late for dinner.

Oh, yes we are. Really-

By a single minute.

Yes, we were just um-

I had to put some aloe iodine on my shoulder.

I do his shoulder and-

Why is that breakfast cereal on the dinner table?

Why are you being weird?

We’re not- we’re not being weird.

Well, you’re doing that weird thing with your face.

Oh, we don't know what you're talking about.

Are you pregnant?

Yeah, I’m pregnant.

Yes, yes!

How did you know that?

Have you looked at your husband's face?

I know he just cannot keep a secret.

What? Really?

Yeah.

[H.E.R.B.I.E whirs over and sounds]

What?

You are going to be the best mom.

Oh my god!

And you are going to be the best dad.

Just kidding.

You are out of your depth.

But we-

We're going to be the best uncles ever.

Okay, we should eat.
