:31:02
All right, now take it easy.
lt's not on your lungs, it's on your ear.

:31:06
lt's the same thing, isn't it?
Jesus, l can't sleep!

:31:11
God, there's a tumour in my head
the size of a basketball!

:31:14
Now l keep thinking
l can feel it every time l blink!

:31:18
Oh, Jesus!
He wants me to do a brain scan

:31:21
to confirm what he already suspects.
:31:24
Look, l'll make a deal with God.
:31:26
Let itjust be my ear, OK?
l'll go deaf, and blind in one eye, maybe.

:31:30
But l don't want a brain operation.
Once they go into my skull,

:31:33
l'll wind up like the guy with the wool cap
who delivers for the florist.

:31:38
Relax, will ya? Your whole life, you run
to doctors, the news is always fine.

:31:42
No, that's not true. What about years ago?
:31:46
l'm sorry to say, Mr Sachs,
that you cannot have children.

:31:52
Gee.
:31:53
ls there no chance?
:31:55
This doesn't mean that
you can't have a normal sex life,

:31:59
but Mr Sachs' tests indicate
that he is infertile.

:32:02
Small sperm volume and infertile.
:32:05
ls there anything l can do?
Push-ups? Hormones?

:32:07
- l'm afraid not.
- l gotta get a second opinion.

:32:10
- This is the second opinion.
- Well, a third opinion.

:32:13
l realise this is a blow.
:32:15
My experience is that many very fine
marriages become unstable

:32:19
and are destroyed by an inability
to deal with this sort of problem.

:32:24
l hope you won't make too much of it.
:32:27
One can adopt children, and there are
various artificial methods of fertilisation.

:32:32
- l'm so humiliated.
- Could you have ruined yourself?

:32:36
- How could l ruin myself?
- l don't know. Excessive masturbation?

:32:40
Hey, you gonna start
knockin' my hobbies? Jesus!

:32:43
- Maybe we can adopt a child.
- What about artificial insemination?

:32:47
- What are you talkin' about?
- l would get implanted.

:32:50
- By a stranger?
- They have banks where they're frozen.

:32:54
- You want a defrosted kid?
- l want to experience childbirth.

:32:58
- With a stranger?
- Just think about it, that's all l ask.
