Get Dr. Cook.

I don't know, Kay.

I don't know.

They won't tell me.

The nurses.

Oh, Jesus, Kay.

She went in there ages ago...

and some of the other ones

that went in after her...

Huh? Yeah, right.

Yeah, right.

What? All right.

I'll get back to you

if I hear anything. See ya.

Oh.

Boy or a girl, Sharon?

I don't care.

Don't mind. Just safe.

Will there be marks

on his head?

Only for a few days.

Fiver says it's a girl.

Just one big push, Sharon.

Good girl. Push!

That's it.

Look, Sharon.

Ha ha ha!

Yahoo!

Ol

Ah, keep it

for your wife, what?

Whoa!

Seven pounds, twelve ounces.

Twelve!

Yeah. Two arms, two legs,

and a head. Right.

Ha ha ha!

I'm not being sarcastic, love.

No, I'm too bleedin' happy.

All right.

See you later. Bye.

Good man.

Seven pounds, twelve ounces.

Huh?

Is that a turkey or a baby?

It's a baby.

That's a good-sized baby.

Yeah, it is good,

isn't it, huh?

Small turkey, though.

Seven pounds, twelve ounces

La la la la

Seven pounds, twelve ounces

La la la la

She's a great little sucker,

isn't she?

So just rub her gently

on the back like that.

And give her the odd pat.

That should bring the wind...

Oh, God.

What's wrong with you, love?

Jesus, love, are you cryin'?

No. Laughin'.

I'm after namin' her Georgina.

Ha ha ha!

Hey! Slow down. You hear me?

Come on.

Which room?

Here. In there. This is it.

Here, on the left. Here.

Oh, Jesus.

Wise men say

Only fools rush in

But I can't help

Falling in love with you

Shall I stay

Would it be a sin

If I can't help

Falling in love with you

Like a river flows

Surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things were meant to be

Take my hand

Take my whole life, too

'Cause I can't help

Falling in love with you

Wise men say

Only fools rush in

But I can't help

Falling in love with you

Shall I stay

Would it be a sin

If I can't help

Falling in love with you

If I can't help

Falling in love with you
