I don't know if you're busy right now
But can I ask you a question

ROBERT
I'm on my lunch break honey
Won't be getting back to set until 3pm
So I've got time
What's the question?

LANA
Does it bother you that I didn't change my last name after we got married?

ROBERT
No of course not
Why do you ask?

LANA
I don't know, we haven't really talked about it
And you never brought it up
So I was just wondering

ROBERT
I figured there was no need to bring it up because it's not something I'd ask of you.
If you wanted to change your last name, I'd want you to do it on your own terms.
But if you didn't want to, that's okay too.
We don't need to share a last name to be a family.

LANA
Are you just telling me what I want to hear because I'm pregnant and hella emotional?

ROBERT
Hahahaha no honey I really mean it

LANA
You're perfect you know that? 😭

ROBERT
I have to be since I need to stay leveled up with you

LANA
Ugh you are dead set on making me cry today

ROBERT
Everything makes you cry these days so it's not like I need to put in much effort 😅
Jokes aside though
Is there a particular reason you're asking this? It's pretty out of nowhere

LANA
I don't know I was just thinking about baby names and I realized our baby would be a Downey
But I kept my last name
And Nolan has his dad's
Blended families are complicated and I don't want anyone to feel left out

ROBERT
Last names literally make no difference though

LANA
I know they don't
Guess I'm overthinking it

ROBERT
Don't worry about the little things
We're having a baby in a few months, this should be an exciting time

LANA
And it is, trust me I've never been happier
But hey
I've always been paranoid
You knew what you were in for when you married me 🤷🏻‍♀️

ROBERT
Doesn't help that your paranoia's leveled up to a 100 with the pregnancy 😩

LANA
Tell me about it 🙃

ROBERT
By the way
Since we're on the topics of names
Any new ideas for the baby?

LANA
Ughh not really
I did add a couple new ones to our list but none of them really feel right
The other day I even asked the kids if they had any names they liked
Avri suggested we name her little sister 'Pocahontas' 🙃🙃 not sure that helps

ROBERT
Not really in the wave we were going for but she gets kudos for trying 😂
You know what though
I think I have a new name to add to the list

LANA
Oh yeah? Let's hear it

ROBERT
Well there's this secondary character in the movie I'm shooting right now
Her name is Ellie
I thought it was a pretty nice one

LANA
Ellie?
Short for anything?

ROBERT
Nope, just Ellie
What do you think?

LANA
Ellie
That's actually so cute
Ellie Downey
Oh my God
I think love it

ROBERT
You think? 😅

LANA
I think it's definitely top 5 for now

ROBERT
Great we got a new contender! ✊🏻
