The Prodigy

(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)

Hmm.

No!

No!

He took my hand.

He took my hand!

Talulah, stop.

Honey?

Is he early?

Yeah. It's only the 22nd.

He couldn't wait, John.

Honey. Huh?

I think you might need these.

You okay?

Me? Yeah.

Good, yeah. Yeah, seriously.

I'm good.

Aw.

You'll never believe it.

We're gonna bring you home a little brother.

Finally.

You want to try Dr. Lee again?

Mmm-hmm. Okay. Just a sec, okay?

Looks good, right? Everything looks good?

You okay?

Mmm. Good.

Okay?

Listen.

Good. Breathe, baby, breathe.

Good, good.

Good. Breathe.

Take a breath. Ready? Push.

Push, push, push.

Good. Push. Push, breathe, breathe.

Great, good, good. Okay...

Here he comes!

Police! Get down on your knees!

You heard him! Get down!

Stay where you are!

Get down on your knees!

He's got something behind his back!

What the hell was that? Get a light on him.

Go through the house.

Make sure nobody's inside.

Bravo team, let's go inside.

Oh, you're perfect.

He's perfect.

Are his eyes different colors?

Yeah, it's called heterochromia.

Mmm-hmm. It's a genetic trait.

Oh, whoa.

He's like David Bowie.

He is.

He is my little glam rocker.

We tried so long to have you.

We weren't sure you'd ever come.

It's gonna be...

Okay.

(WHISPERS) There we go.

Isn't he supposed to cry?

Well, most do, but it's not required.

Is everything all right?

Nothing wrong with this little guy.

He is very aware. Yes.

Mama.

Did he really just say that?

You know, he's even been using some words.

That's quite early.

Usually, language doesn't come on

for about a year or so.

There's nothing wrong.

Your son's just developing early.

He's what we call a smarty-pants.

Smarty-pants.

Good job, honey. Can you show me again?

Put him inside the castle?

What are you reading?

Oh. Nurturing Genius.

Yes.

A Gifted Life.

I'm preparing.

For what?

Miles' brain isn't wired like other kids.

Oh, oh, oh! (GASPS) Yes!

He's special.

Good job!

And I was thinking, we should really start thinking

about preschool, seriously.

Preschools? He's two.

Isn't that a bit early?

These aren't regular preschools. They're special.

It's a preschool.

We need a letter of recommendation?

Honey, it's a very good preschool.

Are we going to Dr. Collins?

No, Mom's taking you to see a different doctor.

Go.

Good. Very fast.

Go.

You were right to bring him in.

Miles' intelligence is off the charts.

I don't have an exact score, but it'll be very high.

How about his behavior?

Is he adjusting well to preschool?

He's been having a very difficult time making friends.

Well, Miles' brain is

extremely well-developed in certain regions,

but there are other areas that appear to be delayed.

I'm not sure why he wouldn't be as developed

in those areas, but we need to watch it.

And you and your husband should really consider

a dedicated education plan.

There's this excellent school, it's called Penmark.

It's a little bit more expensive

than the school you have him at now,

but they're just outstanding

with kids with specialized needs,

just like Miles.

I can call ahead for you, if you like.

Here. Finish your homework after you eat.

That's not homework, by the way.

We don't have homework.

Yeah? How come I had homework when I was a kid?

Because you're not as smart as me.

Excuse me?

Yeah?

(CHUCKLES) Do you have any paprika?

Paprika? How do you even know what that is?

I don't know. Just want some.

I am so ready to go out tonight.

Here. Knock yourself out.

Ah.

Excuse me.

When did you start using that?

I don't know. Hey.

Can you please do that eye thing for me?

Um...

There it is!

Do you wanna do a staring contest?

No, you have to finish your dinner.

Okay, all right.

Are you ready?

Oh, I'm ready.

One,

two,

three.

You just blinked! I did!

I did, I did, I did! You win.

You win! You win! Yes!

Finish. No.

Yes. Because that means

you guys are gonna leave me with Zoe.

But you love Zoe.

I know.

Hey.

Anytime you need a kiss from me...

Yes.

You want a regular beer or a fancy beer?

Fancy.

All right, drink up.

We're not leaving till these are gone.

I still can't believe we actually live in the suburbs.

Really?

Doesn't it seem like yesterday that we were kid-free?

We were drunk all the time and everything was so fun.

Baby, now we're totally normal.

But we're still drunk all the time.

Oh, I forgot to tell you.

When I picked up Miles from school today,

Mr. Schub said that he didn't wanna join the science club.

Why doesn't he ever wanna do activities with other kids?

You know what? New rule.

No kid talk on date night.

Okay. Seriously.

We have a super smart kid. Mmm-hmm.
