[Tim and Mary are in bed]
Mary: So not such a bad day after all?
Tim: No. It was pretty good, really. Very good day, actually, as it turns out.
Mary: Well, that's a relief. Because it had been a very bad day, I thought I might have had to have had sex with you to make up for it.
[she turns the light out]
Mary: Goodnight.
Tim: [he is lying blatantly and Mary knows it] It was a very, very bad day. It went very badly. I got fired from my job. And then I killed a man.
[she turns the light back on]
Mary: That is a very bad day.
Tim: It's terrible.
Mary: Yeah, the worst day ever. I'm so sorry.
[they start to make love]

[Mary wants another baby]
Mary: I just thought that maybe it was time for the insurance baby.
Tim: What?
Mary: In case one of them is really smart. We don't want the other one to feel stupid their whole life. And if we had a third one then we could have *two* happy dummies. What do you think?
[Tim realises that once another baby is born, he will never be able to go back to a time before that]
Tim: [voiceover] It was the toughest decision of my life. Saying "yes" to the future meant saying "goodbye" to my dad - forever.
