| - | And then, conversely, when you're at | + | Patton: |

| - | What were you saying? | ||
| - | |||
| - | 435 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | So I suppose we know where you fall | + | Danise: |
| - | on the congressional goings-on. | + | |
| - | 436 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | Okay, I think we may be | + | Ricken: |
| - | 437 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | - missing the point here. | + | Ricken: |
| - | - Yeah. | + | Devon: |
| - | 438 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | The point is that Mark made a decision. | + | Ricken: |
| - | + | ||
| - | 439 | + | |
| - | < | + | |
| - | And that decision was controversial, | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | 440 | + | |
| - | < | + | |
| - | ethically and socially. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | 441 | + | |
| - | < | + | |
| - | Morally. Scientifically. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | 442 | + | |
| - | < | + | |
| - | But, Mark, I stand behind you | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | 443 | + | |
| - | < | + | |
| - | without reservation. | + | |
| - | 444 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | - So well said. | + | Danise: |
| - | - Thank you. | + | Ricken: |
| - | 445 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | - Absolutely. | + | Patton: |
| - | - I definitely stand behind Mark. | + | Rebeck: |
| - | 446 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | Wow. | + | Mark: Wow. Thank you. That’s very sweet. |
| - | 447 | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | Thank you. That's very sweet. | ||
| - | |||
| - | 448 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | Well, we're at the point | + | Ricken: |
| - | where, traditionally, | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | 449 | + | |
| - | < | + | |
| - | I would say something like, "Dig in." | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | 450 | + | |
| - | < | + | |
| - | But I must say, | + | |
| - | I do think that the lack of food | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | 451 | + | |
| - | < | + | |
| - | has allowed us to already do so | + | |
| - | on a much deeper level. | + | |
| - | 452 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | - Oh, yeah. No, absolutely. | + | Patton: |
| - | - Right? | + | Ricken: |
| - | 453 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | I was saying, my friend in Lima hasn't | + | Patton: |
| - | had a food-based dinner event in... | + | |
| - | 454 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | If I give you $3,000, | + | Devon: |
| - | will you forgive me? | + | |
| - | 455 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | Well, because your child | + | Mark: Well, because your child is innocent of tonight’s atrocities, |
| - | is innocent of tonight's atrocities, | + | |
| - | 456 | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | I'll wait until after it's born | ||
| - | to murder you. | ||
| - | |||
| - | 457 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | Oh, my God. Here you go, buddy. | + | Devon: |
| - | 458 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | Thank you. | + | Mark: Thank you. |
| - | 459 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | Hey, how's the good doctor therapy man | + | Devon: |
| - | with that weird little mustache? | + | |
| - | 460 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | You're not going? | + | Devon: |
| - | 461 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | Well, the work thing's helped. | + | Mark: Well, the work thing’s helped. |
| - | 462 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | Yeah. | + | Devon: |
| - | 463 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | I'm proud of you for taking that job. | + | Devon: |
| - | I really am. | + | |
| - | 464 | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | And I think she would' | ||
| - | I know she would' | ||
| - | |||
| - | 465 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | I just feel like forgetting about her | + | Devon: |
| - | for eight hours a day | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | 466 | + | |
| - | < | + | |
| - | isn't the same thing as healing. | + | |
| - | 467 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | You wanna crash here, | + | Devon: |
| - | since you're already here? | + | |
| - | 468 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | No. | + | Mark: No. |
| - | 469 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | Why? | + | Devon: |
| - | 470 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | Your house smells like pregnancy. | + | Mark: Your house smells like pregnancy. |
| - | 471 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | Yeah, I'm just not grasping | + | Devon: |
| - | the visceral element of it. | + | |
| - | 472 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | She is fun, wasn't she? | + | Devon: |
| - | 473 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | - You're definitely staying here tonight. | + | Devon: |
| - | - No, I'm not. | + | Mark: No, I’m not. |
| - | 474 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | I'm making all the bedsheets myself, | + | Ricken: |
| - | 475 | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | so I won't finish with the big one | ||
| - | for some time. | ||
| - | |||
| - | 476 | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | But the twin is comfortable, | ||
| - | |||
| - | 477 | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | and the pajamas were made | ||
| - | on a Baltic handloom, | ||
| - | |||
| - | 478 | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | so you'll sleep well. | ||
| - | |||
| - | 479 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | Thanks. | + | Mark: Thanks. I still don’t quite get the three beds. |
| - | I still don't quite get the three beds. | + | |
| - | 480 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | - Right. | + | Ricken: |
| - | - Ricken's colleague told us | + | Devon: |
| - | 481 | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | that switching out the beds | ||
| - | as the child grows can wound that child. | ||
| - | |||
| - | 482 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | Irreparably. | + | Ricken: |
| - | 483 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | But if you provide said child | + | Ricken: |
| - | with all of its beds upon birth, | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | 484 | + | |
| - | < | + | |
| - | you allow it to progress across the room | + | |
| - | at its own rate. | + | |
| - | 485 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | Got it. Yeah. | + | Mark: Got it. Yeah. |
| - | 486 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | Yeah. | + | Ricken: |
| - | 487 | ||
| < | < | ||
| - | I think people really | + | Ricken: |
| - | enjoyed you tonight, Mark. | + | |
