one day old, totally healthy.

Unwed mother, no diseases.

And it's a boy.

You wanted a boy.

Amanda, I can't get

into this with you now.

This is not the place

to have this discussion.

I told Carolyn to be on the lookout.

She's experienced with adoptions.

She knows what she's doing.

It's a boy, healthy, born this morning.

No strings,

if we act quickly.

Le-- Look, I-- I gotta

put my foot down.

I-I-- If you want to

discuss this another time, we can.

But if you gotta have a fast answer,

it's definitely "no."

- Hi! Hi.

- You got his head?

- He's adorable.

- Yes. Oh, God.

This is great. This kid is never

going to be a fighter, you know.

I gotta run out and get some weights

because he's really light as a feather.

- Yeah, perhaps I should have him back.

- Hi.

Yeah. Maybe you better

hold him 'cause he's crying.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- He's crying.

- Okay. Okay. It's okay. It's okay.

- That's a good boy.

- That's so great.

If there's any greatness in my hands,

let it pass into your body.

- Get a grip on yourself.

- This kid is gonna be a great kid!

- Oh, yeah.

- He's fabulous!

- You're okay now.

- What do you wanna call him?

- Oh, this is unbelievable. Yeah.

- Call him?

- Oh, wh-- what about Eric?

- Eric? The kid's not a Viking.

I wanna call him, name him,

you know, for one of my heroes.

- Like what?

- I don't know. What about Groucho?

- Groucho? Oh, get real.

- No, I'm serious.

It's a great-- You know.

I-- I don't know. What--

What about Phineas?

Do you like Phineas?

Phineas?

Are you joking?

Phineas is the guy who

forecloses on the mortgage.

I don't want to call this kid

Phineas. He's adorable.

- That's so great.

What-- What, uh-- Let me think.

- Well.

- What about Django?

- Django?

Django, yeah. After Django Reinhardt,

the great guitar player.

- Django Weinrib?

- That's the curse of the Weinrib name.

- It doesn't go with anything.

Nothing goes with Weinrib.

- Well, okay, okay.

What about something simple

like, you know, Ben?

- You want to call him Ben Weinrib?

- Yeah.

What, he's gonna be

a-a-a gin rummy champion?

- I mean, you know.

- Yeah, well, you want to deny

your heritage? Huh?

Well, you know, I-I just want

the kid to have a great name.

- Yeah.

- What about Sugar Ray Weinrib?

Holden,

after Holden Caulfield.

You see, Holden is one of those things

that works if we use your maiden name.

- If it's Holden Sloane,

but not Holden Weinrib.

- Yeah.

The kid is so cute!

I can't believe he's--

What about Cole?

- Cole?

- Cole Weinrib. Harpo Weinrib.

- Harpo? No.

- How about Earl the Pearl Weinrib?

- That would be so perfect.

- Oh, God! No.

- Okay, what-- what about Shane?
