During the lunch, Will keeps it real with Milton. When Lydia says that they have already discussed whether or not their children will be bilingual and that at home, they will only speak Spanish, Will chimes in: "So it's less of a discussion. You just said it was going to be that way." He then tells her, "You're very demanding," before turning to Milton and saying, "When she wants something…" before being cut off by Lydia.
Later in the discussion, Lydia starts complaining that Milton has left the toothpaste cap open. As Milton tries to defend himself, Will says to him, "You're fighting a losing battle on this one, man."
At the end of the meal, Will jokes to Lydia, "We can keep him," confirming his liking of Milton. He adds, "No return policy." He also jokes to Milton, "And when you do have babies, we're going to take a 12-month cruise until the baby is born because we're not dealing with her pregnant."
