[00:05.811] ADAM: Look at this crib
[00:08.940] In all of its glorious antiquary
[00:12.514] Every curve and surface speaks to me
[00:15.766] Saying pamper and spoil me
[00:17.546] Sand me and oil me
[00:19.160] Come on
[00:21.853] I know to the untrained eye it's boring
[00:25.158] But nothing's a chore when you're restoring
[00:28.420] Apart from frustration, pain, and financial drain
[00:32.128] It's fun!
[00:34.213] Folks say, "Adam...
[00:35.823] Why do you polish your crib
[00:36.838] When you don't have a kid?
[00:37.711] And even if you did have a kid
[00:38.985] This crib is too precious for placing a baby inside it
[00:41.043] So it simply exists to remind you
[00:42.278] Your sense of perfection is just a reflection
[00:44.033] That you are not mentally prepared
[00:45.182] To make room for a kid, Adam
[00:48.252] Why don't you live, Adam?
[00:51.476] Just make a start"
[00:55.195] Are you willing to take the next step?
[00:58.018] Ready, set-
[00:59.157] Ready, set-
[01:01.334] BARBARA, spoken: Look at these jugs!
[01:04.484] (sung) Amazingly glazed and terracotta-ery
[01:07.802] I took some clay and made you pottery
[01:11.385] The world will never wreck you
[01:13.117] I'll protect you in a mother's embrace
[01:16.642] Folks say, "Barbara...
[01:18.305] Why can't you see that ceramics
[01:19.452] Is simply a manifestation of motherly panic
[01:21.411] By making a baby that's breakable
[01:22.896] Aren't you creating a way of translating the terror
[01:24.486] Of making maternal mistakes into clay
[01:26.444] Hiding away
[01:27.255] So you don't have to face being a bad mom, Barbara
[01:30.836] That's what you've done, Barbara
[01:34.018] Just make a start"
[01:37.738] Are you willing to take the next step?
[01:40.112] Ready, set-
[01:41.395] BOTH: Here we stand
[01:43.430] At the end of a 10-year plan
[01:47.500] A house
[01:48.322] A yard
[01:49.085] A minivan
[01:50.744] A baby should be next
[01:53.368] Together let's leap off the cliff
[01:56.381] Fall forever, then smash to bits
[01:59.924] Trapped in a terrifying viper pit
[02:03.772] Of diapers and regret
[02:06.921] Are we willing to take the next step?
[02:10.958] ADAM: Ready, set-
[02:12.109] BARBARA: Ready, set-
[02:13.416] ADAM: Not yet
[02:14.223] BARBARA: Not yet
[02:15.057] ADAM: Why rush?
[02:15.860] BARBARA: Why rush?
[02:16.906] BOTH: Soon enough, our hopes and our dreams will be crushed
[02:19.735] BARBARA: But not yet!
[02:20.645] ADAM: But not yet!
[02:21.489] BARBARA: Not now
[02:22.305] ADAM: Not now
[02:26.145] Ooohh?
[02:27.623] No!
[02:29.090] See? We can't start a family in a house with creaky floorboards!
[02:32.919] BARBARA: You are absolutely right
[02:34.515] Let's add it to the list
[02:36.158] With the cracks in the plaster
[02:38.080] ADAM: The wi-fi should be faster
[02:39.610] BARBARA: This sofa needs a castor
[02:41.257] ADAM: The bathroom's a disaster!
[02:42.668] BARBARA: What about global poverty?
[02:44.499] ADAM: What about world peace?
[02:45.704] BARBARA: Then there's the whole darn economy
[02:47.769] ADAM: The whole Middle East
[02:49.003] BARBARA: We should learn Mandarin
[02:50.547] ADAM: Yeah! Or Spanish at least
[02:52.328] BOTH: No habla español
[02:55.197] Dos cervezas, por favor
[02:58.210] And that's all we got
[02:59.941] And that's not a lot
[03:01.504] Do we want a bilingual household or not?
[03:05.256] So let's go slow
[03:06.941] No breaking a sweat
[03:08.433] What's the point of having children
[03:10.100] If we're drowning in debt?
[03:11.551] BARBARA: Now we're totally
[03:12.883] ADAM: Completely
[03:13.586] BARBARA: Maybe eighty percent
[03:16.725] ADAM: I'd say seventy-eight
[03:18.593] BOTH (BEETLEJUICE): Ready to take
[03:19.850] The next step (Yeah! Yeah! Yeah Yeah!)
[03:22.726] The next step (Zooby dooby dooby, dooby dop dop bow!)
[03:25.515] The next step (Zweeby, beeby, boo-bah-bah-dee!)
[03:28.311] The next step
[03:30.504] Ready, set let's—
[03:35.129] BEETLEJUICE: See I wasn't kidding
[03:36.488] It's a show about death!
