Charlie Ryan : What's up? Something wrong?
Claudia : Do you ever think what our lives would be like if we had the baby?
Charlie Ryan : Yeah... yeah. we'd be miserable.
Claudia : [scoffs] 'Cause we're just so happy now, huh?
Charlie Ryan : I'm happy. I'm real happy. Like, Claudia... think about it. If we had kids, we'd be spending every day working hard to feed them, clothe them, put them through school; only for them to tell us to go fuck ourselves when they turn sixteen, y'know? No thanks.
