Jake: Okay, fine. New subject: work. We both work way too much. Why bother having kids if you never get to spend time with them? I mean, I love my job, and I know you love yours, and I don't think it's fair for either of us to have to sacrifice that.
Amy: Do you know why I want to become lieutenant so badly?
Jake: To prove your worth to your hyper judgmental parents.
Amy: Yes, obviously that. But also, the higher your rank, the more control over your hours. Plenty of people have jobs and kids, Jake, and they find a way.
