Maybe you should
if you can't name the baby.

:12:04
- That is a terrible,
sick thing to say, Ed!
- You said it first!

:12:07
- That's no excuse!
- If you say it, fine.
If I say it, I'm sick.

:12:10
- Maybe.
- Tina is with the adoption agency.

:12:12
- What adoption agency?
- The adoption agency
where you adopted me.

:12:16
- When I was a little baby, remember?
- Oh, my God!

:12:21
Oh, God. I have to have a cigarette
if we're gonna talk about this.

:12:26
- Can I bum one of those?
- No, you can't smoke around the baby.

:12:30
- Show a little compassion, will you?
- This might be a good time
to make an exception. For her.

:12:36
- Pearl!
- I'd like to know what happened
to the Constitution in this country.

:12:40
- Please, can you please put it out?
- Oh, all right, all right!

:12:43
Why does he have to do this roots thing?
Aren't we good enough parents?

:12:48
I think you probably
did the best that you could,
but psychic scars can't be helped.

:12:52
Psychic scars?
What is she talking about?

:13:01
She's saying we failed completely.
:13:04
- That's way too extreme.
- Yeah, maybe just 40 percent.

:13:08
Mom, you can't quantify it like that.
I mean, what difference does it make...

:13:11
if it's 40 percent or 60 percent?
:13:13
Sixty percent?
:13:15
Why is everybody getting
so serious all of a sudden?

:13:18
I thought we were gonna talk
about buying new carpeting...

:13:20
getting rid of this crap,
putting in the wall-to-wall.

:13:23
Life is so rich, so full.
:13:25
You have a wife,
a child, a good job.

:13:29
Why are you doing this?
:13:31
If I could pop in here for a second,
I think that what Mel is trying
to communicate here...

:13:36
is that no matter where we are in our
lives, especially if we're adopted...

:13:40
we can't help but feel
that there's something missing--

:13:43
that there's something out there
that's going to make us feel...

:13:47
complete, give us a sense of belonging,
connectedness if you will.

:13:51
This woman strikes me
as being very dangerous.

:13:55
It's understandable
that you would find me threatening.

:13:57
Why don't you psychoanalyze me?
I'd love to hear this. Go ahead.
