: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.
:34:03
You just have to be a father...
:34:06
and a friend.
:34:10
- You what?
- Robert Robert?

:34:12
- Gay Robert Robert?
- Hejust goes by Robert now.

:34:15
- You are outrageous.
- I would not kick him out of bed.

:34:17
He defiinitely falls into
the "what a waste" category.

:34:19
- Totally.
- So what was it like?

:34:21
- Did he rise to the occasion?
- Obviously he did.

:34:23
Hey, could we move past the sex part
and get onto the now part?

:34:26
- I'm having a baby.
- Oh, Abbie, that is so great.
- That is cool.

:34:29
- It's tough being
a single parent, Abbie.
- I'm not gonna be a single parent.

:34:32
- What?
- Robert's moving in with me...

:34:34
and we're gonna raise
the baby together.

:34:35
- Are you sure you know
what you're doing?
- Look, Robert is the
most incredible man...

:34:39
- I've ever met...
- Right.
- True.

:34:40
and he's hung in there
when my boyfriends haven't.

:34:42
That's true.
:34:44
And we're always gonna love each other
and be in each other's lives...

:34:46
and we're never getting married,
so we can't get divorced.

:34:50
You know, there's a certain
crazy logic to this...

:34:52
and Robert will do
everything a husband will do.

:34:54
- Exactly.
- Including not sleep with you.

:34:56
Yes, but I won't be
bitter and resentful about it.

:34:58
- Well, at least the kid
will be gorgeous.
- Oh, no doubt.
