:08:02
I'm barren!
:08:04
HI:
At first I didn't believe it...

:08:06
that this woman
who looked as fertile...

:08:09
as the Tennessee Valley...
:08:10
could not bear children.
:08:13
But the doctor explained
that her insides...

:08:15
were a rocky place where my seed
could find no purchase.

:08:21
Ed was inconsolable.
:08:25
We tried an adoption agency.
:08:28
ED: It's true that Hi
has had a checkered past.

:08:31
HI: But Ed here is an officer
of the law twice decorated...

:08:35
so we figure
it kind of evens out.

:08:40
HI: But biology
and the prejudices of others...

:08:43
conspired to keep us childless.
:08:48
Our love for each other
was stronger than ever...

:08:52
but I premonised no return
of the salad days.

:08:57
The pizzazz
had gone out of our lives.

:09:00
Ed lost all interest
in both criminal justice...

:09:04
and housekeeping.
:09:06
Soon after,
she tendered her badge.

:09:10
Even my job
seemed as dry and bitter...

:09:13
as a hot prairie wind.
:09:15
COWORKER: So here's Bill
walking down Nine Mile--

:09:18
That's Bill Parker,
you understand.

:09:20
He's got his sandwich
in one hand...

:09:23
and the fuckin' head
in the other!

:09:27
[ Snorting ]
:09:28
HI: I even caught myself driving
by convenience stores...

:09:33
that weren't on the way home.
:09:37
Then, one day...
:09:39
the biggest news hit the state
since they built the Hoover Dam.

:09:45
The Arizona Quints was born.
:09:48
By Arizona Quints...
:09:51
I mean they was born to a woman
named Florence Arizona.

:09:55
As you probably guessed...
:09:57
Florence Arizona is the wife
of Nathan Arizona...
