Grandier.

Yes, how old is your son?

He'll be two

weeks this Thursday.

- Oh, October's child!

- Yep.

- Libra.

- Right.

Is it possible to see him?

Sweetheart?

You awake? There's

somebody here to see you.

Yeah, you have a visitor.

He's beautiful.

What's his name?

Jake.

Hello, Jake.

Yes.

Such a dear boy.

Is he breastfeeding?

No, I tried him in the first

few days

but he didn't like it.

My colostrum was too watery.

He seems happier on the formula.

The milk comes

from deep inside you,

it's supposed to be watery.

Water's what he needs most.

Especially in the first month.

And you know,

there are antibodies

in a mother's milk that

no formula can duplicate.

So you think I

should try again?

Yeah.

It's really important.

Did you know that

after four weeks,

their little blood cells change?

Yeah.

After four weeks they're

not baby cells anymore.

They're just like ours.

She's very attractive.

Not bad.

Some might say

too attractive.

Do I detect a

note of jealousy?

No, just a note of concern.

You tell me first.

No, you go first.

Write it down.

Okay.

Wait, wait, wait!

Ready?

Go.

Hi!

Hello, Mrs. Sterling.

You can call me Kate.

Oh, thank you!

Come in,

Ms. Grandier.

Call me Camilla.

Hello, Jake.

I brought some

friends to meet you.

This is Holt.

And this is Jamara.

And this...

Is Pyewacket.

They're your friends, Jake.

They're your bestest friends.

National Public Radio

for southern California,

I'm Dierdre O'Donohugh,

and while everybody else

is off dreaming I think

I'll play something for us

by an excellent

group from Australia

who call themselves

The Triffids.

This is David

McComb and his band

from Perth with

Wide Open Road.

What?

Did you feel that, too?

I don't think that

was the big one,

but it was big enough

to really rattle

things around here at KCRW.

The CD player lost its grip.

There's cassettes and disks

all over the floor here.

Oh, I think my heart's

down there, too!

I do not like it when the

Earth does things like that.

I'll tell you what.

While I check on where

that one came from,

and find out

how big it was,

and pick up

all the mess here,

let me play something

for us by Roger Eno.

I think that should

sort out our nerves.

This'll be from his most

recent album called...

It's raining, Jake!

It's raining!

Hello, Mr. Sterling.

- Excuse me.

- It's all right.

You feel that?

Yeah, it was just another

earthquake, wasn't it?

I was,

I couldn't sleep,

and I came up to the

baby's room and--

It's okay.

I ran the bath and

guess who woke

up and decided

it was playtime?

You are so

cheeky, aren't you?

You are.

I think we're

so lucky sometimes.
