** Stanley practically almost causes Carla to break off their relationship wholecloth: While he already didn't help matters by being less-than-enthused due to learning she was pregnant, ''and'' being weirdly clinical went explaining he had to leave for San Francisco ASAP, the second Carla proposes to him, Stanley ''immediately'' makes an ass of himself with three words:

** After Stanley causes Carla to walk out, Jon decides to have some flowers and a nice card sent to her. Andy takes a crack at what that card would say:
--->'''Andy''': "Carla, I may be partially culpable for any misunderstanding. Affectionately, Stanley." Like, it's not gonna be, like-
--->'''Paulo''': "Best regards, Dr. Goodspeed."
--->'''Scott''': "PS. Decode the bottom of this letter to see if I like you."
*** Scott then suggests that Stanley's gonna get the baby [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood a water dish and a tether, and have it live in the backyard.]]



---->'''Carla''': I would like to discuss "next steps" with you right now!
---->'''Stanley''': Alright, who's- Carla, are you surprised about my behavior, ''honestly'', because if you are, [[NoSympathy then maybe we don't know each other as well as I thought.]]
---->'''Andy''': ''She's pregnant, man!''
---->'''Paulo''': [[WhatTheHellHero Wow, those are the words of a sociopath!]]



*** As a parting gesture, Jon decides that Stanley is going to send her some flowers and a nice card, [[SarcasmMode causing Paulo to congratulate him for knowing how to treat a lady.]]
---->'''Scott''': ''This is such a cool little microcosm of your brain, I love this!''



--->'''Stanley''': We can- (as Andy and Scott [[{{Corpsing}} start laughing) any w- whichever one you like! There's options on the table, Carla, that's all I'm saying!

* TheCameo: Not that it impacts the episode at all, but in Part 1, it's called to attention that Paulo's dad was quietly sitting in on the recording.


Added DiffLines:

* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Interestingly, one of Stanley's biggest obstacles in the first episode isn't because of terrorists or chemical weapons. [[CannotTalkToWomen It's talking to Carla]]:
** When Carla tries to give Stanley the news that she's pregnant, that news gets delayed due to Stanley harping about how dangerous his job is. And when Carla ''does'' reveal it, Stanley barely reacts, and accidentally makes it about ''him'' by saying it's making him ''more'' stressed out.
--->'''Stanley''': H- how are you feeling- how are you feeling about this... news?
--->'''Carla''': ''Less'' positive than I was about eight seconds ago.
*** When Carla asks if he's "for real" excited, Jon rolls, and says he got a success by 2. ...and then it turns out [[AmbiguouslyHuman he rolled "IQ" to see if he should be excited.]]
---->'''Scott''': [[DeadpanSnarker Jon Miller has to roll for emotion, which I think is kinda interesting.]]
*** "I love you." "I love you, too." "I'm excited." "Yes, I can tell."
** After being told by the FBI he has to go to San Francisco, Stanley relays that to Carla, who gets annoyed since they were having "actually OK sex". Stanley ''then'' argues that since it was ''just'' OK, they can resume their lovemaking "at a later date".
*** And ''then'' Stanley gets weirdly clinical by stating they can "discuss next steps" when he gets back.
** Before Stanley can leave, Carla proposes to him on the spot. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero No sooner does Stanley say that was weird, Carla gets fed up and leaves.]]
** And then later on, when Stanley calls her and tries to fix things, Carla mentions she's Catholic, and she doesn't want to be pregnant ''and'' unmarried. Stanley's reaction?
--->'''Stanley''': [[ThatCameOutWrong Well- well, we can fix- we can that.]]
--->'''Carla''': [[OhCrap Oh, God!]] ''[[AmbiguousSyntax Which one?!]]''
--->'''Stanley''': We can- (as Andy and Scott [[{{Corpsing}} start laughing) any w- whichever one you like! There's options on the table, Carla, that's all I'm saying!
--->'''Scott''': (talking over Jon) ''Oh, this fuckin- this hole, it just gets deeper, it just gets deeper! [-This hole gets deeper...-]''
--->'''Stanley''': I want to be with you, Carla! ...even if you're Catholic...
--->'''Carla''': [[NotWhatItLooksLike So... ...you're saying you want me to get an abortion, and if not, you'll marry me out of obligation?]]
--->'''Stanley''': ''[[OhCrap No, that's not what I meant...]]''


Added DiffLines:

* NotWhatItLooksLike: When calling Carla after he causes her to walk out, Stanley tries to smooth things over and explain how he actually ''does'' want to have a family with her, given how she explains she doesn't want to have a baby out of wedlock due to being Catholic. And ''somehow'', Stanley manages to botch ''this'' too, to the point where Carla briefly thinks Stanley is suggesting she ''get an abortion''.
