The dog doorbells bark, and Nancy walks slowly over to the door, where Lupita is! I often like Lupita. A lot of times she's an empty stereotype for cheap laughs, but since most of those scenes are with Nancy it's not that egregious. Lupita congratulates Nancy on her timing: "William Morris just merged with Endeavor and Mr. Kaplan out on his ass!" Nancy doesn't know what she means by that, but it's actually kinda funny and not all that dated.
Lupita says their house looks like a dive bar, and asks about her bedroom. Nancy tries to say there's not one, but her ass is halfway out the door when Nancy backtracks and says she'll just be taking the couch, then. By which I assume she means, "Until I manipulate Andy into giving me his bedroom, which will take three seconds." Lupita says she had her last baby when she was 52: "Women in my family bleed forever." Nancy takes this in stride, and asks in a hush how old Lupita actually is. "37. So, one night stand?"
Nancy says the baby situation is a little more complicated than that and Lupita fake-commiserates: "Aw, he'll leave his wife?" More complicated than that. Lupita's like, "Great to see you, Nancy," and they laugh about what a constant shitstorm Nancy's life is, and then she offers her demands: pay in cash, feed her, no working on Sundays or when her novelas are on, no cleaning, no laundry: Just baby. Nancy's heart breaks a little bit more with each condition. Lupita waxes joyfully about taking up surfing again, and Shane comes in, happily surprised to see her; she offers to take him surfing, for an additional fee.
The blonde waitress at a crummy Mexican restaurant puts Andy's flaming drink in front of Audra as she tells him her geography: "Oregon, West Germany, Uruguay." Andy's is less amazing: "Tarzana. And then the other side of Tarzana." She's not impressed. He asks what she wanted to be when she grew up, Jane Goodall, and he says he wanted to be a dog and blows out his drink. "This is fun! I'm having fun!" he says desperately, trying to convince them both. She finally just gives up and tries to bounce. "We haven't even gotten our combo platos yet!" She explains that, in considering her night's options, she would rather be in her PJs watching Friday Night Lights DVDs than dealing with his sixteen miles of bull.
