[04:03.36]X:Well,you said you wanted him to have a unique,individual name.
[04:09.55]I've never met anyone named Brando.
[04:14.25]I think it sounds very refined.And when he becomes a famous actor--
[04:21.15]B:Over my dead body!
[04:24.65]X:All right,all right,calm down,it was just an idea!
[04:30.34]Anyway,we still have four months to decide.
[04:35.02]X:So!Now that we know it's going to be a boy,we have to pick a name.
[04:45.81]What do you think we should call him?
[04:49.91]B:I'd say...er,what do you think,dear?
[04:55.00]X:Well,you know your father will expect us to name him Benjamin,
[05:00.70]after him.B:Yeah--and you know your father will feel hurt
[05:06.47]if we name him after my father.
[05:10.05]X:Right,so maybe we should compromise and name him after both our fathers
[05:17.75]Hm,but "Ming Benjamin"--that doesn't sound very good!
[05:24.96]B:And"Ben Ming" sounds even worse!
[05:30.27]I think we're going to have to forget about family traditions
[05:35.46]and give our son his own unique,individual name.
[05:40.95]X:I think so,too. What's your suggestion?
[05:45.65]B:Well,I've always liked the name Abraham.
[05:50.56]X:Abraham!Ugh,no way!
[05:55.16]How can anyone look at a sweet helpless innocent little baby
[06:00.96]and call him Abraham!
[06:04.67]B:Well,he won't be a baby forever.
[06:08.85]X:Forget it!
[06:11.54]B:But just think,when he grows up and becomes a great world leader--
[06:17.84]X:I said forget it! No way!No son of mine is going to be called Abe!!
[06:25.54]B:Well,what's your proposal,then?
[06:29.75]X:(dreamily)Brando.B:What?X:Brando!Brando Davis.B:Are you joking?
[06:38.63]You want our son to go though life being called Brando?!
[06:44.01]All the other kids will make fun of him!
[06:47.90]X:Well,you said you wanted him to have a unique,individual name.
[06:54.09]I've never met anyone named Brando.
[06:58.80]I think it sounds very refined.And when he becomes a famous actor--
[07:05.69]B:Over my dead body!
[07:09.09]X:All right,all right,calm down,it was just an idea!
[07:14.99]Anyway,we still have four months to decide.
