At Jen's house, around noon :
Brad : As long as the baby's healthy, I'm glad.
Jen : Yeah, happy and healthy...
Brad nods, while taking a bite of his sandwich.
Jen : And cute.
Brad : And smart.
Jen : And creative...
Jen turns to Andrea, shrugging her shoulders.
Jen : You know into art and astrology... and that stuff.
Brad : And with an aptitude for sports.
Andrea : Are you guys talking about the same baby?
Andrea laugh as Brad turns to Jen sighing.
Andrea : Hey, have you started thinking about names yet?
Jen : Oh, yeah... I've come up with a bunch of ideas.
Brad : Really? Me too.
Andrea : Me too!
Andrea raises her voice as Jen laughs.
Jen : Really?
Andrea : Yeah... well since it's a girl, Andrea.
Brad turns to Jen, furrowing his brow.
Andrea : And if it had been a boy, André.
Brad : Maybe...
Jen laughs, laying a hand on Andrea's arm.
Brad : But it wouldn't hurt to have a back up, you know.
Andrea nods, a little disappointed.
Brad : Jen... what were you thinking?
Jen : Ok... I was thinking, how about Dominique? It's Greek.
Brad : Huh... that's a really pretty name for an industrial solvent.
Jen scolds at Brad as he jokes, before clearing her throat.
Jen : Ok, fine... what do you have?
Brad : Alright, I know it's unoriginal, but... Nicole.
Jen : Babe...
Jen shakes her head, suddenly laughing.
Brad : What?
Jen : Nicole Aniston?
Brad : Yeah, what's wrong with that?
Jen : Well, there's a porn star named that.
Brad : What?
Jen : Yeah.
Brad : Are you just saying that cause I said no to your name?
Jen : I'm really, really not.
Brad : Well, I still like it.
Jen scolds at Brad, rolling her eyes.
Andrea : How about you each get 5 vetoes?
Jen : Alright.
Brad : That sounds fair.
Jen : I don't think you're gonna need it though, check this out... reign.
Brad nods, before turning it down straight away.
Brad : Veto.
Jen : Why?
Brad : Reign? "Hi, my name is Reign... I have my own kiln and my dress is made out of wheat".
