[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!) |
