CONVERSATION BETWEEN:

ROSIE & AISHA

[rosie de la cruz]

ROSIE Congrats, Aisha! Really happy for you both.

[aisha van buren]

AISHA Thank you. Sometimes I think it's the stupidest decision I've ever made, but with two kids what have I got to lose?

[rosie de la cruz]

ROSIE You've made the most bachelor-coded man I've ever met set his phone background as rotating pictures of his kids. So at least you'll always have that accomplishment. The second one's almost here, right?

[aisha van buren]

AISHA All Aria's doing. Yes, one month before I pull her out with my bare hands if that's what it comes to. How are you?

[rosie de la cruz]

ROSIE I think it's a combo. Are you having her in the city? I'm good though, thank you. Currently contemplating one of those European Christmas cruises where the average age is about 75 and it stops at all the markets. Feeling festive, I guess.

[aisha van buren]

AISHA Yes, booked in for a cesarean if she doesn't get a move on. Just the name gives me the ick. I'm sure you'd make friends with a kindly old man who'd teach you the true meaning of Christmas.

[rosie de la cruz]

ROSIE Better or worse than Aria? And what's the first thing you're eating when she's born? Something I'd probably only grasp after a bottle of red or if I knew German or Dutch. Which sounds nice, been quite the year.

[aisha van buren]

AISHA Much worse, I'm never doing this again. Mountains of sashimi. Tate told me you took a career break.

[rosie de la cruz]

ROSIE I've always thought two was a good number for kids anyway. Ha, nice way to put it. I got burnt out on the analyst desk and ended up in private equity. Took a pretty big break in between, which I think threw him off. I like it though, more manageable.

[aisha van buren]

AISHA Freddie's outnumbered 3:1 so works for me. I understand about 10% of what you just said but I'm happy for you nonetheless.

[rosie de la cruz]

ROSIE Again, fitting. Hmm...realized I actually hated the people I worked with and telling people what to do with their money, had a breakdown about it, and now invest in companies hoping they're the next Uber? Better?

[aisha van buren]

AISHA Yes. Still don't understand why you'd choose to work but to each their own.

[rosie de la cruz]

ROSIE Have never had the choice not to. When's the wedding going to be?

[aisha van buren]

AISHA I think we both know that you have what it takes to marry out of your situation. Probably September next year, I need to lose this baby weight.
