:06:02
MAN: Didn't we just tell you
not to do that?
:06:05
HI: Yes, sir.
:06:06
MAN: OK, then.
:06:09
ED: Turn to the right!
:06:11
HI: I'm walking in here
on my knees, Ed--
:06:13
a free man proposing.
:06:14
Howdy, Kurt.
:06:16
HI: And so it was.
:06:17
DEPUTY:
Don't forget the bouquet, Ed.
:06:20
I do.
:06:21
You bet I do.
:06:23
OK, then.
:06:24
- Yay!
- Whoo!
:06:28
HI: Ed's pa
staked us to a starter home...
:06:31
in suburban Tempe...
:06:32
and I got a job
drilling holes in sheet metal.
:06:35
COWORKER: We were doing
paramedical work...
:06:37
in affiliation
with the state highway system.
:06:39
Not actually practicing,
you understand.
:06:41
Me and Bill
were patrolling down Nine Mile.
:06:44
- Bill Roberts?
- No, not that mother-scratcher.
:06:47
Bill Parker.
:06:49
Anyway,
we're approaching the wreck...
:06:51
and there's
this spherical object...
:06:53
resting in the highway...
:06:55
and it's not a piece of the car.
:06:57
HI: Most ways,
the job was a lot like prison...
:07:01
except Ed was waiting
at the end of every day...
:07:04
and a paycheck
at the end of every week.
:07:06
Government do take a bite,
don't she?
:07:10
HI: These were the happy days--
:07:12
the salad days, as they say.
:07:14
Ed felt that having a critter
was the next logical step.
:07:18
It was all she thought about.
:07:21
Her point was that there was
too much love and beauty...
:07:24
for just the two of us...
:07:26
and every day we kept a child
out of the world...
:07:29
was a day he might later regret
having missed.
:07:35
ED: That was beautiful.
:07:36
HI: So we worked at it
on the days we calculated...
:07:38
most likely to be fruitful...
:07:41
and we worked at it most
other days, just to be sure.
:07:45
Ed rejoiced that my lawless
years were behind me...
:07:48
and that our child-rearing years
lay ahead.
:07:50
[ Siren ]
:07:51
And then the roof caved in.
:07:59
ED: Hi...
