Denise and Richard: This is nice.

Denise: Yeah, honestly, I almost fell asleep.

Salesman: No, you guys were doing like, a little play.

Richard: Well, you know, we just want to make sure that the mattress is perfect for us.

Richard: Oh, really? You’ve been tired for a month, Denise. Whatever, goodnight.

[Richard covers his hip with a bedsheet and pretends like he’s masturbating.]

Denise: Richard! I’m not even asleep yet and you’re jerking it?

Richard: I’m backed up and it’s pissing me off.

Denise: Oh, wow. Wow. You’re watching  porn in our brand new sleepy town bed? Well, tell me the title. Tell me the title of the porn.

Denise and Richard: Oh, yeah. We love this one.

Denise: But you know what? I did like the other one too. Should we try it again?

Richard: Sure.

Denise: See, this does feel just as nice.

Richard: It is so soft.

Salesman: So, what do we think? Hello? Are you guys asleep?

Denise: [screaming] Ah! There’s someone in the house.

Richard: I’ll get the gun.

[Richard pulls out a gun from under the pillow]

Salesman: When did you put that thing there?

Denise: No, Richard, not that gun. Get the killing gun.

[Denise pulls out a bigger gun from under her pillow and passes it to Denise]

Richard: Good thinking, Denise. Bang, bang.

Denise: Oh my god. You killed the intruder. You protected me. Damn. I’m so horny for you.

Richard: You come to me.

Denise: Yes. Do me like I’m in adult detention.

[Denise and Richard start making out]

Salesman: Hey! Alright, enough! Enough! Please, you want to buy this mattress or what?

Denise: Oh god, the intruder is still alive. And he has your gun. Bang!

Female voice: Being a mom is natural. It’s what we’re born to do. And I’m here to help. This is “Momming with Denise.”

[Cut to Denise inside her closet at home]

Denise: [whispering] Hi, it’s me, Denise Coman. This is week 6 or 95, I don’t know. I think I hate my kids. You know, I said, “Kids, I need five minutes to myself.” They said no. Just like that. “No.” The other day, we watched all the Harry Potter movies and somehow only 40 minutes had passed. How is that even possible? [whispering] They still think I go to work. I just hide in here for two hours. I told my kids I’m a nurse. That’s bad.

I can’t let them find me. They’re gonna make me do another tiktok dance.

[Cut to small clip of Denise’s tiktok]

Or worse, their homework. I can’t multiply fractions. I will not feel dumb while the world is on a fire. No.

[her kids making noise outside] Oh, god. I hear them. I hear their little feet.

Kids: [yelling] Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!

Denise: Yesterday, they said they made me a present. And I said, “did you fold your clothes?” And they said, “Come look.” And they dumped mustard on the carpet. That’s not a present. [whispering] I tried to do a scavenger hunt to keep them busy and they found my vibrator. I told them it was a toy and now they do karaoke with it. I just let ’em.

Husband: Baby. Baby. Where you at? [kids making noise] Baby, I need you. They don’t want to put pants on. Baby, they’re your kids too.

Denise: Last night, my son asked me if he needs to wipe his penis after he pees. And I realize, I don’t know. Okay, I can’t stay in here forever. Wish me luck.

[Cut to Ego in the closet again. Now, she has sauce all over her face.]

Denise: Uh, yeah! No durp Sherlock. Our daughter is over there pretending to be part of another family. [Little Denise is hiding behind Indian parents] Come on, say hi, lil Denise.

Little Denise: My gosh, dad, you promised me you weren’t going to film this.
Sully: Are you kidding me? It’s a momentous occasion. You are the first person in our family to complete an application.

Denise: Of any kind, of any kind. [pointing Sully] This one couldn’t get through an application to the Abby’s reward’s club.

Denise: God bless you. God bless you, little D.  You always taught us what is and isn’t appropriate.

Sully: yeah, for example, we used to call each other re–

Little Denise: [interrupting] Dad! Dad!

Sully: But now we have to say you’re intellectually disabled.

Denise: You are.

[Sully and Denise start making out.

Leslie: I have a question. What is this school’s policy on drinking on campus?

Little Denise: Probably effected the development of the pre-frontal cortex.

Denise: Sweetheart, sweetheart, you know we can’t understand you when you talk all smart like that.

Alex: Um, I am actually not sure that qualifies.

Sully: Um, well that price is a tag dear, but we can make sacrifices. For example, what does a man in my situation need with so many kidneys?

Denise: Yeah! I mean, I could get a night job doing night jobs by the bridge. I could.

Little Denise: No, you guys. It’s fine. I will go to McNeili. I will never fit in here with all these fancy kids.

Alex: Hurlbutt.

Sully: Oh, my god! Tommy, please tell me you got that.
