FARIDA: If the newborn
is immediately placed

on the mother's abdomen,

he makes his way all the way
to the breast all by himself.

Now, if a baby's placed
on a cot,

the infant mortality goes up.

The bonding goes down.

The lactation goes down.

All that important stuff
that we talked about yesterday.

You remember?

Baby's mouth opens

Okay, that comes to 29.83.

Uh, should I put all this back?

I'm-I'm just gonna...
I'm gonna, I'm gonna leave.

I'm gonna... Okay.

(laughs)

You know, I-I didn't even...

I forgot about
that whole thing.

Did you forget about
robbing me?

You forget that
you wanted to rob me?

Wanted to gain access
to my account, remember?

My brain is in my tits?

(chuckles):
No.

Th-That was just,
that was just a lie.

Uh...

Y-You don't believe me.

No, I believe you.

You don't.

- Well, what do I do? - Okay.

- What can I...

MOM:
I called the second I heard.

- I've been calling and calling and...
- OLD DOLIO: Come back.

- I'm sorry.
- MOM: Oh, my heart is still pounding.

OLD DOLIO:
I don't know what to do.

- MOM: It was just so...
- I don't know what to do.

- What do I do? What do I do?
- MOM: I could use a squeeze.

- Squeeze, squeeze, Mama.
- I don't know what to do.

I'm sorry. I...

MOM:
What is...

What is that behind you?

Maybe you should...

- Okay.
- Okay.

My mom works in real estate.

I used to publish a, uh,

resource guide

- With coupons.

THERESA: We were
straight shooters back then.

ROBERT: I mean, if we're being
completely honest, we...

Well, it was tough times.

And, you know, the coupon book
didn't really take.

Well, we were reacting
to the era.

Uh, everybody was.

Could I see the coupon book?

THERESA: Of course,
then the culture changed,

and so now we look
sort of out of step.

Oh, maybe it'll change back.

We were very angry at you.

But, um, I see now that

It was just fear, really.

Just fear.

And then, after the big one
happened, I...

This is hard.

I'm not good at this.

After the... I...
we got very worried.

We didn't think you were dead,

but if you were dead...

I would have regretted not...

to show you...

See, because,
I don't know, I just...

um, I just... I always
thought it was insulting

to treat you like a child.

It just, it just always
seemed so insincere.

And-and I thought
