You're going to make
a laughing stock ofthe family.

:32:03
- Child needs a role model,
someone to look up to.
- Well, I'll wear heels.

:32:07
Ifyou were younger,
I'd take you over my knee...

:32:09
and thrash
the living daylights out ofyou.

:32:11
I thinkyou mean
ifyou were younger, Dad.

:32:15
I'm getting a taxi.
I'll see you at the hotel.

:32:19
Oh, God, he's a bore, isn't he?
:32:23
Thank goodness you're here.
:32:27
- I just don't know
if I can do it or not.
- Well, no one's ever ready for a baby.

:32:30
But I'll tell you one thing: having
a child is the best thing in the world.

:32:34
It stops you from worrying
about yourself.

:32:37
There's something more important
than you in the world...

:32:39
and that's such a relief
in the end.

:32:41
I don't know. Itjust seems like
such a huge responsibility
to take on overnight.

:32:45
It's an opportunity that's come up.
It won't come up again.

:32:50
I can't tell you to do it,
but I can tell you...

:32:52
think very carefully
before you don't do it.

:32:54
Having you is the best thing
that ever happened to me.

:32:57
- Oh, Mum.
- Even though you've been...

:32:58
an enormous disappointment
in many ways.

:33:00
- Mum.
- Well, you have.

:33:03
But you're you.
I adore you.

:33:08
Darling, careful.
:33:23
Abbie?
:33:28
I'll do it.
:33:30
I want to be the father
ofour baby.

:33:34
- Are you sure?
- Yes.

:33:37
I don't want to do it halfway. I want
to do it all the way or not at all.

:33:40
I don't want to be
some gay uncle...

:33:43
who lives on the other side
ofthe tracks with his roommate Bruce...

:33:47
who no one's supposed to talk to.
:33:50
I want to be the baby's father,
forever and always.

:33:56
One more thing.
:33:59
I can't be a husband.
