What Up I'm Three
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Charlene throws a party to celebrate adopting Annie, but her friend Gerry immediately spots a problem: the supposed toddler is plainly a grown woman. Charlene treats every warning sign as proof of her daughter’s brilliance, while her partner Harlan shares Gerry’s doubts. As the argument becomes impossible to ignore, Annie’s baby act gives way to a much more calculating plan.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
That is not a baby. That is a voter.
By "preemie," do you mean "pre-med"?

Charlene
Oh, Jerry! Oh, you must be a finger painting for my new baby girl because I am so glad you made it.
- 00:09
Gerry
I'm so proud of you. You and Harlan adopting a baby in this fucking world. I mean, wow.
- 00:14
Charlene
I can't wait for you to meet her. Harlan, go get baby Annie.
- 00:17
Harlan
You're going to quit hollering at me.
- 00:18
Charlene
Oh, she is so amazing, okay? She's only three, but she already speaks fluent English.
- 00:23
Gerry
Well, I would hope so. You did get her from here, right? America?
- 00:25
Charlene
Yeah, but she's adopted, so who knows what else they taught her. Harlan, baby, come on. Put a little pat. Oh, here she comes. Here she comes.
- 00:32
Harlan
Brace yourselves.
- 00:35
Annie
What up, I'm three.
- 00:38
Charlene
I know. Come on down. Slowly. Okay, you see all the people? Look, say hi.
- 00:43
Annie
What up, I'm three.
- 00:45
Charlene
Thank you all for coming to our sip and see for baby Annie.
- 00:48
Harlan
Yeah, I'm gonna need a lot more sips to see my way through this party.
- 00:52
Charlene
Are you shy?
- 00:54
Charlene
It's been a long two years, but we are so happy we traded our baby Benz for a baby Bjorn.
- 01:00
Gerry
Okay, but that baby was Bjorn 30 years ago.
- 01:03
Annie
What up, Bob 3?
- 01:05
Charlene
Oh, my gosh, Jerry. So you see it, too. She is such an old soul. She's been here before, but you know what's crazy? No, no, no, not anymore. She was actually a preemie.
- 01:14
Gerry
Oh, okay. By preemie, do you mean pre-med?
- 01:16
Charlene
You're so silly, Sally.
- 01:17
Harlan
It's so embarrassing.
- 01:19
Charlene
Show Auntie Jerry how old you are.
- 01:21
Annie
What up, Bob 3?
- 01:23
Charlene
Baby Einstein who? I tried to enroll her in so many pre-K programs, but none of them will accept her. She's just too smart.
- 01:31
Gerry
Okay, hold up. I got a question.
- 01:33
Charlene
Uh-huh.
- 01:34
Gerry
Okay, you know you adopted an adult, right?
- 01:37
Annie
What up, Bob 3?
- 01:38
Gerry
Or is this one of those cruel pranks from the overworked child welfare system? That's what this is.
- 01:43
Harlan
That's what I said. I said, who knew CPS had jokes?
- 01:46
Gerry
I'm not the only person who sees this shit, right? Oh, so it's just me and Harlan?
- 01:50
Harlan
Oh, don't put me in it.
- 01:52
Gerry
Girl, grow a backbone. I'm not gonna change what I said, okay? That is not a baby. That is a vulture. Ma'am, are you a Democrat or a Republican?
- 02:00
Annie
What up, Bob 3?
- 02:01
Gerry
Uh-huh. A goddamn independent. Now, see, that's why we lost on the floor. Because I know you was there, bitch. I know you was there.
- 02:06
Charlene ?
Oh, Jerry, this is a big...
- 02:15
Charlene
Why are you acting like this? I mean, I swear to God, I hate that I'm saying this, but I don't even know why we're friends anymore.
- 02:20
Gerry
Because I gave you my kidney, bitch.
- 02:22
Charlene
You are over here talking... dialed in my backyard.
- 02:28
Gerry
Girl, I would never talk shit about a child, but I will talk some shit about a grown-ass woman.
- 02:33
Charlene
Oh, my God. Baby, come here.
- 02:34
Annie
I can't. I'm sorry.
- 02:35
Charlene
It's okay, honey. Show Auntie Jerry how you count. That always makes you feel better.
- 02:39
Annie
One, two, what up, Bob, three.
- 02:44
Gerry
Charlene, you look crazy, girl.
- 02:46
Charlene
You're just saying that because you don't have a child of your own. Don't touch my child.
- 02:51
Gerry
Nothing to you, bitch! All I see is adults. Three motherfucking adults. You okay? This is not a family. This is a threepole.
- 02:59
Annie
What up, Bob, three?
- 03:00
Gerry ?
What up?
- 03:01
Speaker 1 ?
What up?
- 03:03
Gerry
What up is your cholesterol, bitch? What up is your motherfucking credit score, bitch? That's what's up! Now you're three years from collecting Social Security. You're about to do one in three years from personating a child after a punch you had.
- 03:15
Charlene ?
Enough, you!
- 03:15
Gerry
I'm calling somebody.
- 03:16
Charlene
That is enough. You know how bad Harlan and I wanted to have a baby.
- 03:20
Harlan
No, I didn't.
- 03:21
Charlene
What?
- 03:21
Harlan
I have never once said, let's have a baby. And if I did, that'll have nothing to do with this grown bitch.
- 03:26
Annie
What up, I'm three.
- 03:27
Harlan
Bitch, if you don't stop, I can't. I don't know why she's in my house.
- 03:30
Charlene
We have this miracle of a child, and this is how you act?
- 03:35
Gerry
She's literally smoking.
- 03:36
Annie
What up, I'm three.
- 03:37
Charlene
Look what you've done, Jeri. You have stressed this child out so much that she picked up smoking?
- 03:43
Gerry
Picked up? She looks pretty good at it.
- 03:45
Charlene
You know what? Get out!
- 03:46
Gerry
You gonna kick me out? When this bitch is old enough to buy me tickets to go see, get out!
- 03:51
Charlene
Annie, please, see Auntie Jeri out.
- 03:53
Gerry
Don't see me out for shit. I'll see my damn self out. Fuck all that. Baby Jane looking ass. Gonna kick me out for telling the motherfucking truth. That's some bullshit. You know, that's when I take this wine.
- 04:04
Gerry ?
Is that... Oh, you little shit.
- 04:09
Annie
That's right, Jerry. You're not gonna blow this for me, OK? I'm about to rob this place tonight.
- 04:14
Gerry
You want what?
- 04:15
Annie
And if you don't tell Charlene, I might cut your head.
- 04:18
Gerry ?
That is not
- 04:19
Charlene ?
good. Fuck out, Jerry!
- 04:22
Gerry
Fine. You know what? Fuck it. 30%.
- 04:27
Annie
What up? It's a deal.
