Take, for instance,
the case of Lenny Weinrib,

:03:03
a tale as Greek and timeless
as fate itself.

:03:08
- Lenny, let's have a baby.
- Hey!

:03:10
A baby? Why? Because she's pregnant,
you want to have a baby?

:03:13
- No. It's a great idea.
- You could raise your own middleweight.

:03:15
- I don't want a middleweight.
- Flyweight.

:03:17
- No, it'd be fun.
- Have you ever had children?

:03:21
- No, I've never had children.
- Why not?

:03:24
What do you mean, "why not?" 'Cause my
first wife didn't want to have a child.

:03:27
- Then I never remarried really, so--
- Oh, that's great.

:03:29
- What am I, chopped liver?
- Until now.

:03:31
- Yeah?
- I never-- You didn't let me finish.

:03:33
- No, you'd forgotten.
- Now you've changed your mind.
You didn't want to have a child.

:03:35
- You should have kids.
- It's like stereo. Give him a break.

:03:39
- You don't want a kid?
- Oh, we--

:03:41
When we first met, she didn't like
the beach; she hated the Hamptons;

:03:46
she didn't want to have kids;
she loved the Upper East Side,
she didn't want to move.

:03:49
Now suddenly she's making noise about
having a kid and moving to Tribeca.

:03:52
- Only if the gallery moves downtown.
- Well, being pregnant is great.

:03:55
- Yeah?
- I love it. You get treated
like the Queen of England.

:03:58
- Sure.
- You say that like it's a good thing.

:04:00
- Well, I like the pampering.
- She does like it.

:04:02
- Yeah?
- Yeah, it's fantastic.

:04:04
I can't give up the time
right now.

:04:06
There are too many exciting things
happening in my business.

:04:08
- So let me ask you a question.
- What?

:04:10
How do you plan to swing it without
being pregnant? I'm curious.

:04:13
- Good question. Very good question.
- No, it's easy.

:04:15
- We'll adopt. Oh, well.
- Mmm.

:04:17
- Not me. I don't want to adopt.
- There you go.

:04:19
- Why not? That's a good idea.
- No. No.

:04:21
- You must be nuts. With, with my genes?
- Yeah?

:04:24
- To adopt? I have award-winning genes.
- Oh, God.

:04:26
- I want to pass them on.
- No, that's crazy. No, the--

:04:29
It's for the same reason
we don't lease a car, okay?

:04:32
- 'Cause it's pride of ownership.
- Okay.

:04:34
- And I don't want to adopt a child.
- No. Look, I'm sorry, Lenny.

:04:36
It's crazy 'cause the world
is full of needy kids.

:04:39
- You know, she's right.
- That's true.

:04:41
- I know, but that-- You know, but I--
- No, I mean it.

:04:43
Why overpopulate the world when there
are thousands of parent-less kids?

:04:47
Just because you don't want
to get morning sickness, right?

:04:49
- No, it's not true.
- That's why you want to adopt a kid.

:04:51
I just can't afford
to give up a year just now.

:04:53
Forget it. Subject is closed.
I don't wanna--

:04:56
I'd be afraid that
I might get a bad seed.

:04:58
- Oh, you're paranoid.
- Oh, come on.
