My son, my son
did slay unwittingly...

:06:04
my noble husband...
:06:06
and did, without realizing,
hasten with me,

:06:09
his loving mother,
to lustful bed.

:06:12
And a whole profession
was born...

:06:14
charging sometimes
200 an hour,

:06:16
and a 50-minute hour
at that.

:06:19
And why a child now, out of left field?
:06:22
One hopes it's not to fill
some growing void in their marriage.

:06:25
Leave her be.
:06:27
A woman's urge to motherhood
is old as the earth.

:06:30
Children grow up;
they move out.

:06:33
Sometimes to ridiculous places
like Cincinnati...

:06:36
or Boise, Idaho.
:06:38
Then you never see them again.
:06:40
You'd think once in a while
they'd pick up a phone.

:06:42
But is there a growing void
in the Weinrib's marriage?

:06:45
We didn't say there was.
:06:47
We're all just speculating
on possible motives.

:06:50
Children are serious stuff.
:06:52
Look, here's a man
who killed his father...

:06:56
and slept with his mother.
:06:58
I hate to tell you what they
call my son in Harlem.

:07:04
Hello.
:07:06
- There's a baby we can adopt.
- Are you serious?

:07:09
I spoke to Carolyn Hester
and she's found an infant for us.

:07:12
- But we have to act quickly.
- I don't want a kid.

:07:16
Well, Lenny, you know
how hard it is.

:07:18
And look, the baby's
one day old, totally healthy.

:07:21
Unwed mother, no diseases.
:07:23
And it's a boy.
You wanted a boy.

:07:25
Amanda, I can't get
into this with you now.

:07:28
This is not the place
to have this discussion.

:07:30
I told Carolyn to be on the lookout.
She's experienced with adoptions.

:07:33
She knows what she's doing.
It's a boy, healthy, born this morning.

:07:36
No strings,
if we act quickly.

:07:39
Le-- Look, I-- I gotta
put my foot down.

:07:42
I-I-- If you want to
discuss this another time, we can.

:07:45
But if you gotta have a fast answer,
it's definitely "no."

:07:49
- Hi! Hi.
:07:51
- You got his head?
- He's adorable.

:07:53
- Yes. Oh, God.
:07:55
This is great. This kid is never
going to be a fighter, you know.

:07:59
I gotta run out and get some weights
because he's really light as a feather.
