Senior Dr. Bennett : Did your father ever tell you about the day you were born?
Will Bloom : A thousand times. He caught an uncatchable fish.
Senior Dr. Bennett : Not that one. The real story. Did he ever tell you that?
Will Bloom : No.
Senior Dr. Bennett : Your mother came in about three in the afternoon. Her neighbor drove her, on account of your father was on business in Wichita. You were born a week early, but there were no complications. It was a perfect delivery. Now, your father was sorry to miss it, but it wasn't the custom for the men to be in the room for deliveries then, so I can't see as it would have been much different had he been there. And that's the real story of how you were born. Not very exciting, is it? And I suppose if I had to choose between the true version and an elaborate one involving a fish and a wedding ring, I might choose the fancy version. But that's just me.
Will Bloom : I kind of liked your version.
