Holly: We’re never making it out of here. We’re not. We’re gonna fall or suffocate.
Herrmann: Holly, let’s talk about something different, OK. You never answered my question about kids. You got any?
Holly: No, what kind of world is this to bring a kid into? No offense.
Herrmann: No, that’s just crazy.
Holly: No, I’m serious. Look around, everything’s fall apart. The runways in Arizona are so hot they can’t even land planes on them. Disease wiped out a gazillion people over the last 12 months. Not to mention half the country hates the other half.
Herrmann: Hey, take it easy.
Holly: After what my sister went through, horrible miscarriage, lost the baby with no warning and almost died. Blew her marriage to smithereens.
Herrmann: Well, uh, when Cindy was pregnant the first time, Chicago had one of those winters that made people want to move to Florida. And uh, she was about six months along, that time when you could feel the baby kick. I remember her pushing my hand on her stomach and that ‘thump, thump.’ And me, supposed to be this tough guy firefighter, me getting tears in my eyes every time. But um, she got the gumption one night to go to her parents for a Sunday night dinner, and there was this big patch of ice on the sidewalk. She just goes down in a heap, right on her belly.
Cruz: Herrmann, I didn’t know, man.
Herrmann: We went to the ER, and I’m all in a sweat, and she just keeps saying, ‘I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m fine.’ And you know what, she was right. And that is the story of my first born, Lee Henry. He’s 21 years old, and he drives me crazy half the time, but he’s a great kid. Joe, you have seen enough of this world to know sucker punches can come from every which way, but there is more good than bad out there. I promise you that.
