It's all right, Smith.
:43:21
She's out of danger now.
It's been a hard fight, but she's made it...

:43:26
and you have a son.
:43:29
Come on. Pull yourself together.
She's all right.

:43:32
Nothing in the world to worry you now.
It's a boy. That's what you wanted.

:43:36
And eight pounds of him, too.
:43:40
Don't you want to see her
after all her trouble?

:43:46
Of course you do.
:44:13
Good morning.
I've dropped in to register a new subject.

:44:16
- Name of child?
- We're calling him John, after me.

:44:19
My wife thinks he's the image of me,
but I don't see it.

:44:21
Really? And the date?
:44:23
He has her eyes, blue,
and when he smiles...

:44:26
he's just like my wife, except for the teeth.
:44:29
Yes, well, you can't expect everything
all at once.

:44:32
- What did you say the date was?
- November 6.

:44:34
- Don't you want his weight?
- No, thank you.

:44:36
Eight pounds, three and a half ounces.
He's gained an ounce a day since.

:44:40
- It's remarkable.
- Father's profession?

:44:43
Writer. In a small way, of course.
:44:45
Writer and parent. Parent in a big way.
:44:48
That will be all. Yes. Thank you.
:44:51
But you can form only
a very inadequate picture of him...

:44:54
- from what I've given you.
- I'll have to struggle along.

:44:57
- I'll bring him in one of these days.
- Do that.

:44:59
Then you can see for yourself.
Do I get a receipt?
