Anna: So I'm supposed to fly to Zurich by myself and be poked and prodded by these pediatric uberdoctors and --

David: It's our daughter's best hope, Anna.

Anna: But I won't know what questions to ask.

David: You don't have to ask any questions. I will consult from here.

Anna: But that's so far away. I need you there with me.

David: Dr. Hoffman will take excellent care of you and our daughter.

Anna: Dr. Hoffman isn't the baby's father, you are.

David: I don't like this any more than you do, ok? And you know me. I don't play helpless very well. Of course I want to be there for you and our daughter.

Anna: Well, then do something to make it happen!

David: What? What? You want me to stow away on some transatlantic flight? The second I set foot in the country --

Anna: Right, you're going to be arrested, aren't you, and put in jail.

David: I don't want to see our daughter the first time through some glass partition in a visiting room at a prison, ok?

Anna: It's a fine time to decide you're going to be a model citizen, now when it's so bloody inconvenient.

David: Anna, I want to be there with you in the delivery room when you give birth to our daughter. I want to hear you curse me out for knocking you up, ok? And I want to hear our daughter cry for the first time. I want to cut the umbilical cord. I want to hold our daughter in my arms. But I can't do that, baby, if I'm behind bars.

Anna: Why is this happening? Why?

David: I don't know. But we're going to get through this.

Anna: Right. You're right.

David: Yeah.

Anna: Yeah, we have to do what's best for the baby.

David: That's right.

Anna: First things first.

David: Mm-hmm. So you will fly to Zurich?

Anna: Yeah. Yeah, I'll fly to Zurich, and I'll see dr. Hoffman, and I guess I'll just -- I'll do whatever he recommends.

David: Yeah. And I will be there with you in spirit, ok? But there is going to be somebody there with you holding your hand because I can't be there. Somebody who loves you just as much as I do and is going to make that strange place feel like home. Hey, it's me. It's good to hear your voice, too. There's somebody here who needs your help. Talk to you soon, robin.

Anna: Hello. Robin?

Anna: So I'm going to see you at the Zurich airport, yeah. You sure it's ok for you take this time off? Oh, yeah. You have no idea how much this means to me, robin. Yeah, he is. I love you, too. I'll see you soon. Ok, bye. Well, that's me taken care of. But you already knew that, sly boots.

David: What am I being accused of now?

Anna: You called robin, didn't you, when i was having my second sonogram?

David: That's right. Because, well, i wanted somebody to be there with you, somebody that loves you as much as I do.

Anna: That's a good call.

David: I'm sorry it can't be me, baby. I'm sorry.

Anna: It's all right.

David: No, it's not.

Anna: Yeah, it is. It is what it is, you know? We have to make the best of it, right?

David: That's right. We do.

Anna: I love you, you know.

David: Yeah. And I love you, too. I love you both.

Greenlee: You sure? You look like hell.

David: Thanks. Well, actually, I was up all night last night. We learned yesterday that the baby has a heart problem.

Greenlee: Oh, no.

David: Yeah.

Greenlee: Is it serious? I mean, is the baby going to be ok? And Anna?

David: Yeah, they will be. I put them both on a plane to Zurich. She's with the best pediatric cardiologist in the world.

Greenlee: To go through something like this alone --

David: Well, she's -- she's with Robin, so --

Greenlee: No, I meant you, too. It must be terrible for you to be without her.

David: Yeah, it is. But the good commonwealth of Pennsylvania just wouldn't approve, so --

Greenlee: You love her very much. That baby's lucky to have you.
